The Winter Witch

Chapter 20: Rogue

Once Pietro left, I felt strong enough to walk around for a bit. Did I feel strong enough to turn myself in to an evil ex-hydra agent and a murderous assassin? Probably not but I was going to anyway. I knew I only had a short time to sneak out and that was already going to be hard because the Avengers facility is on high alert. I had smuggled my uniform back to my room and I was getting changed as I heard a knock on the door.

"Wanda? Are you in there?"

I froze. It was Clint.

I couldn't see him now, especially not now if you know what I mean.

He knocked again but I didn't answer. The door knob started to turn but I willed the door not to open with my mental manipulation.

I heard Clint's muffled swearing as he tried to get the door open. "Damn door is jammed."

He kept trying but finally gave up. Once he was gone, I finished changing and opened my bedroom window. I peeked out and saw that the coast was clear. I levitated down to the ground using my hex and then sprinted towards the garage where Tony keeps most of his glamorous and highly expensive cars.

Was I seriously about to steal one of Tony's sports cars? He loves them more than life.

I take one look and chose a sparkling light blue car. Not sure what the full name is, we didn't have expensive cars in Sokovia.

I get in and search for the keys. I spotted them in the ignition already and silently cursed Tony for making this too easy. I turn the keys and the car comes to life. I put the car in drive and step on the gas. I zoom out of the garage and down the long, winding driveway of the Avengers facility. Soon, I'm out of sight from it.  

CLINT POV

I wish Wanda would just let me visit her. I'm not even mad and she deserves to know that. Stubborn as she is, I'd never hate her. I shook my head and sighed. 

"Barton!"

I turn around and see Cap running towards me.

"Cap?" I nod to him.

"We have movement outside in front of the gates." He said as he hurried outside.

I ran after him and we met up with Tony and Nat. Before I could get a word out, one of Tony's car's sped down the driveway and out through the gates.

"Uh, if you're here, who is driving your car?" I asked Tony.

Tony rolled his eyes. "Wanda."

"What!?" I snapped.

"Dammit." Cap said.

"Language..." Nat mumbled.

Cap gave her a look that shut her up instantly.

"What is she even doing?" I asked.

"She's turning herself in to Amell. He won't stop killing innocent people until he has her." Natasha answered.

"Well we need to get her! Now!" I snapped.

"Already on it!" 

I looked up and saw Sam zoom over us in his Falcon uniform, headed towards Wanda.

We all looked at Cap.

"Suit up." He said.

WANDA POV

Tony's car was so fast, I was practically almost there. I could see the blocked off roads just up ahead. Suddenly, I heard the distinctive woosh of Sam's wings. I looked in the mirror and saw him flying towards me. 

I stuck my hand out the window and blasted him with my hex while yelling, "Sorry Sam!"

He flew back onto the ground and I could just barely make out what he said.

"That's just cold, kid."

I couldn't help but chuckle. 

Nearing the blocked off road, I came to a stop and saw all the commotion that was going on.

A line of innocent people were formed in front of Bucky. My stomach twisted in knots. I hated this. All of this. 

I hesitantly got out of the car, my hex coiling around my hands. My blood boiling with rage, but I remained calm. I had to show restraint. I had to show Amell that I don't break under pressure or anger. 

His face lit up when he saw me. "Ah! Wanda darling, lovely for you to join us." He reached out and grabbed my hand and pulled me along. 

I yanked him off and stared him dead in the face. "Okay! I'm here. You got what you wanted, now let these innocent people go." I said, trying my best to remain calm.

He smiled. "All you had to do was ask." 

He turned to the people. "Alright now go on! I'm freeing you only because what I really want is right here beside me. Now go before I change my mind!" He bellowed. 

The citizens ran for their life while Bucky just watched, not moving a muscle. 

"Wanda, it truly is a tragedy you have to die this way." Amell sighed.

I narrowed my eyes. "What...What way?"

"By the hand of your lover of course! I'm not going to kill you, that'd be too messy." Amell laughed. He snapped his fingers and Bucky advanced at me.

Before he could land a blow, he was knocked off his feet. 

"If you want her, you have to go through me." 

I looked and saw Pietro standing in front of me.

Bucky stood up and looked at Amell.

Amell walked over and stood by Bucky with his arms crossed. He was not amused at all.

"And me!" Sam flew down and shielded me also.

"We can still take you." Amell spat.

"Oh, Amell? Did you forget about us?" I looked over and saw Nat, Clint and Steve walk up looking all badass. They all got in a line in front of me, shielding me from Bucky and Amell.

"I can easily get my soldiers. They're just waiting for my signal." Amell said.

"We can take them." Clint said.

Amell rolled his eyes. "Why do you even want this girl anyway!? She's just a weapon of mass destruction! She'll destroy us all. She's nothing!" Amell yelled.

"That's where your wrong, Amell. Wanda Maximoff is an Avenger. The strongest one, I might add." Steve said cockily.

I smiled to myself. I knew what they were doing. Stalling. I clenched my fists up and let my power build up.

"You underestimated her, Amell. You really think you can take us? You really think you can take her? You can try, but you won't succeed." Clint remarked.

"NOW!" Steve yelled.

The group disbanded and got out of the way, with Amell and Bucky still watching.

I smirked at him, then unleashed everything. My hex swarmed around Amell and Bucky. I tossed them up in the sky and flung Amell towards the ground. He landed with a loud thud and was knocked out instantly. I kept Bucky in the air and coiled my hex around his head. I was determined to fix him. After he passed out, I let him go and watched as he fell to the ground. He kinda deserved that. 

I walked over to Amell as he was waking up. Once he saw me, his eyes widened. 

I raised my hand, my hex swarming around it. I smiled and looked deep into his eyes. 

"Sleep tight." I said as my hex descended upon him.
