Ice Cold Hearts

Chapter 4

*My pov*

I put the black tank top, white cardigan and blue jeans on. I lightly placed my head on the glass that was before me and glared outside. How could people be so happy when so much suffering and pain is in the world? I would never understand humans as I once I was able to.

"You've grown up much since I last saw you," a female Russian commented.

"Wanda, a lot of things have changed since a last so you," I replied turning to meet my best friend.

"You look different. Did they use the cube on you?"

"Yes. Rumor has it that I am a dangerous woman. It was only one guard and he was being rude to me! Geeze!" I smirked.

"Dangerous? Now, if I know you, you are gentle, kind-hearted soul. Nothing to do with being deadly or anything."

I laughed and hugged her. "I've missed you, Wanda. Life was worse when you left. They were trying to find a way to brainwash me into fighting the Avengers. What they did hurt so much!" I cried into her shoulder.

Wanda rubbed little circles in my back. I felt her love for me and I hugged her harder. I looked up for a moment to see a man with brown hair and scruff, wearing a gray t-shirt and black skinny jeans.

"If you two are done with being girly, I want to ask a few questions." He crossed his arms.

"And you must be the famous Tony Stark."

"Please, enough of the formalities. I have two 16 year old kids that need me. I don't have time to waste."

"I never believed you and Pepper Potts got married," I snorted.

"No, we didn't. These kids were assigned to me by SHIELD. Unlike you, hot mess, they were born with their powers," Tony growled.

"Tony, you need to calm your voice. Julia is a very good friend of mine and should be treated as such," Wanda warned.

Tony replied with a grunt and sat down in a chair.

"Well, now that the situations have calmed down, what would you like to know?" I asked, calmly sitting in a chair a few feet away.

"Alright, question one: what exactly did they do to you?"

"I'm the first person to be only enhanced and to have the Tesseract combined into one full experiment. HYDRA believed they could find a way to activate the mutant X gene. Other than that, I was either under drugs or to blinded by pain to even listen to what they were saying," I admitted.

"That's quite interesting. The file I found said that the reason for all of the experiments were to find the X-gene, not use it. Why would they want to exploit it?"

"You just answered your own question. They want an army of mutants, but they never said they finally found my X-gene or if they activated it. I've just gain the powers to control ice, that's it," I sighed, remembering everything that HYDRA did to me.

Tony didn't exactly seem like he was done talking but, he had gotten all the answers he needed. He stood up and left.

"Jul, they didn't find it because you deleted the information." Wanda made it seem like a demand.

"No, I killed the only man that knew about it. They later found that out and put me under severe lockdown until they could regain all information on the X-gene. I am thankful that I have made amends and met the Captain." I smiled to myself.
