5 YEARS LATER...
"CALLIE I CAN'T STAND HERE FOREVER" I shout into my wrist,
"You're going to hate me for this but I'm making a call" I couldn't hear what was said through the wails of the creature flailing In-front of me, I was throwing my red sorcery at it powerfully and running around it hitting every angle possible leaving trails of blue behind. blasts of light, red beams, dashes of blue, blurs flying and strings of webs join around me,
Wanda?... Pietro?" I shout in shock, What are they doing here, "Avengers!" I conclude,
- after the battle -
"Will it come back or is it in their for good" Sam asks concerned after it had been shot back into a glowing portal, it had vanished from New York in the snap of a finger.
"I'll get an alert if it does, I'm sure you'll be called" I reassure them referencing Callie
"We need a place to lie low, we don't know what that belonged to" Steve spoke, I haven't seen him in five years but he doesn't look like he's changed neither do the others apart from Wanda and Pietro. "I know a place" I lift my wrist to my mouth "Callie expect company when I return"
"Callie?" Natasha questions confused
"She's my roommate but she also helped me build a lab and develop technology for me to use, a catsuit isn't going to win a fight " I explain quickly
- Home -
"I don't normally have guests so you will have to make do with the living room" I announce as we walk into my shared house "I'll give you the tour", I lead them to the lab where I know they'll want to be most "Callie are you here?" I shout walking into the clean scientific area
"Over here" I hear her call back, popping her head up from the microscope and putting tongs down on the surface "Avengers meet Callie" I say and watch as they both smile at each other.
"You built all of this?" Tony Stark asked brushing his hand over a new gadget I was testing yesterday
"With help" I answer, almost whisper "come on" I add gesturing them to follow me out. I show them the kitchen, bathrooms, garden and living room and afterwards they all depart into different parts of the house. I stroll into the kitchen and see Steve sitting there at one of the barstools staring at the marble surface beneath him "maybe I did need you after all" I speak up loud enough for him to hear me, I carry on walking over with my hands in my pockets
"Looks that way doesn't it" Steve replies looking and sitting up from his position
"How did you find My brother and sister?" I ask leaning on the area opposite him
"We recruited them after we took down Ultron six months ago"
"I've missed them"
"Where did you go?" Steve asks changing the tone of his voice
"After New York and the Loki situation... life got too much and I couldn't face it so after our encounter I left and didn't look back" I reply more serious
"How did you get your powers?"
"You got a lot of questions huh?... Hydra combined Wanda's and Pietro's powers and put them into me as another one of their experiments" I explain, remembering it clear as day
"You should go see them" The super soldier replies gesturing me to the living room, I turn around slowly and begin walking in that direction, I was nervous to say the least, I hadn't seen them since we got our abilities... I left them. I hesitate on knocking on the living room door for a moment, was this really a good idea?
*knock* *knock* *knock*, I couldn't wait for them to answer, I grabbed the handle and swung the door open revealing them having a conversation on the sofa "hi" I say Shyly, they got up from the sofa and walked over to me, I felt two pairs of arms wrap around me, engulfing me in a tight embrace, I did not expect that, I slowly hugged them back "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for leaving you alone, I couldn't handle myself and my abilities so i did the only thing I thought I could do, I ran away and I'm sorry" I frantically begin to apologise to the both of them
"We are all together now, that's what matters" Pietro whispers, still in the hug
"You've grown so much, you joined the avengers?" I asked, excited for the both of them, we may be superhuman or mutants as the public like to put it but we're still normal people.
"We joined ultron but he didn't tell us he was planning to destroy humanity so we joined the avengers and we've been with them since" Wanda explained. I remember when I used to braid her hair for school, she was so young. We were the three siblings everyone knew in sokovia, we were the Maximoff Triplets.
- later that evening -
"Who wants what?" I offered whilst pouring drinks for everyone. it wasn't a party but we were getting to know each other and talking.
"You're so different than you were years ago, and when you're not doing your Job" Stark comments
"Everyone changes and I like to keep my business and private life as separate as I can" I reply raising my eyebrows. The night was going well, I enjoyed reuniting with my siblings and talking to Steve for a bit, it was better than the last terms that I saw them on.
"I wonder how many magnets you could fit on Bucky's arm" Peter wonders out of know where
"Ever tried it, tin can?" Sam asks Bucky
"Why would I put magnets on my arm, for what reason?" the blue-eyed super soldier questions, amused
"I would do it" I chime in
"Why" Steve says looking at me smiling
"I don't know, if I was bored I guess" I respond laughing, I may be older than Wanda and Pietro but I'm still a teenager. seventeen to be specific.
"I have an idea" Scott practically shouts, making everyone roll their eyes except me, I've not met him properly yet. "We should say one thing we like about a person in this room of our choice" he finishes, it wasn't a bad idea and it wasn't a good idea
"Okay I'll go first, Adeline, I like your hair, it's long and fiery, reminds of Asgardian drapes" Thor says making me feel good about myself, I've always loved my hair.
"Okay my go then, Steve, you give really good advice, it's basic but I like it" I admit to the group.
"Adeline I like your way of doing things, it's natural, I can't put it into words but it's admirable" Steve compliments me back, this game was a great idea after all. I feel genuinely happy, something I haven't felt in a while.
