"Hey, hey, wake up we're here."
Blinking slowly, I adjusted to the light and peered out the window, sighing in relief when we were back at the Tower.
That was a long-ass trip.
Steve holds out a hand and I accepted it, instantly regretting the moment he wrapped his arms around me and my body is flushed against his.
Electricity crackled through my body and my eyes widened at what I felt.
I was only awake for what, five seconds?
"Bad, Captain," I giggled, lightly pushing him away and discreetly looking over at Tony who was too focused on the controls to notice.
Steve's lips quirked up at what I said, his emotions hitting me like a brick wall of flesh and...
Sweet god, he's supposed to be America's, righteous man.
"Lab's all set up Boss," Maria walked in, holding onto a monitor. She peers at Tony, awaiting instructions.
Maria moved to Stark Industries after SHIELD's fall and has been replaced as his secretary. Which was a surprise considering how loyal she was to Fury.
Tony turns around in his chair, raising both hands up.
"Uh, actually, he's the boss." Tony points at Steve who merely shrugs.
"I just pay for everything, and design everything and make everyone look cooler."
"You're right Tony, what else do we need you for anyway?"
He pouted at my words and gives a playful smile as I walked out the Quinjet together with Steve and down the new platform, with Maria following closely behind.
"What's the word on Strucker?" Steve asked Maria, back to his Captain facade.
"NATO's got him," She responded, swiping through the monitor as we enter the Tower and head down a corridor.
"Damn and I wanted to punch him," I grumbled annoyed.
Steve shoots me a disapproving look, but I shrugged.
"The two enhanced?"
As a reply, Maria gives him the monitor and Steve swipes the screen, allowing a video to play out.
I recognized the twins as they rally in the front, shouting at the foreign states to leave their country alone.
The male had brown hair similar to his sister which was odd considering I saw him with snow-like hair.
"Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. Twins. Orphaned at ten when a shell collapsed their apartment building."
I watch a picture of a building that had collapsed and frowned. They were orphaned because of the bombings.
They've lost people--they've lost their homes.
That would explain why they hated us so much.
"Sokovia's had a rough history. It's nowhere special but it's on the way to everywhere special."
Nowhere special? I felt offended. These twins went through war in their generation, how much more special do you want it to be?
"Their abilities?" Steve doesn't notice my anger.
"He's got increased metabolism and improved thermal homeostasis. Her thing is neural electric interfacing, telekinesis, mental manipulation."
"Steve's not gonna get it, you gotta explain it simpler--" Registering everything she said as we halted by the elevator, I grabbed hold of the monitor and pointed at Snow White.
