Run to You|Pietro Maximoff

Chapter Five

Three Months Later

Ira threw the man into the wall, tossing him in the air with her powers. He slammed into the floor, and she grabbed his gun, throwing it to Natasha, who used it to shoot a man coming towards her.

"Basement's secure," Ira said into the comms.

"Copy," Steve replied back. "Nat, you got the files?"

"Yep," She said, and stowed a flash drive safely in her pocket. Pietro and Clint ran into the room.

"Let's move," Clint said. Pietro sped over to Ira, and pecked her on the cheek. "Focus on the mission, Sonic." Clint told him dryly. Pietro rolled his eyes, and picked Ira up, running her to the Quinjet.

They had told about their relationship a few weeks before. The reactions from the team were as expected. Wanda had been understandably excited; her best friend and her brother were dating, after all. The reactions from the rest of the Avengers were positive, except for Steve and Clint. They had both become close to Ira, becoming her father-figures, of sorts. Steve had distrusted Pietro, but had quickly warmed up to him. Clint had yet to come around, due to his annoyance of Pietro's antics.

Pietro set Ira down in the Quinjet, and the blonde walked over to Steve. "Mission complete?" She asked. He nodded.

"It went as planned. The soldiers were taken into S.H.I.E.L.D custody, and Natasha downloaded the files. With luck, we'll find more secret HYDRA bases on that flash drive."

Ira sat back down next to Pietro, and waited for the others to come. Everyone was soon there, and Clint made his way to the pilot's seat. "Alright everyone, please put on your seatbelts, and make sure your tray tables are in the upright and locked position. Thank you for flying Barton Quality Airlines." He joked.

"I hate you," Natasha called from the back seat.

"I agree, this airline is hardly quality." Tony told him.

"Ignoring you," Clint stated.

The flight back was short, and Ira spoke with Pietro and Wanda most of the way. When they landed at the compound, Ira went to her room, and changed out of her clothes and into some workout clothes. She went to the training room, where there was now more equipment. She moved to the special room that Tony had designed specially for the Enhanced, and began shooting energy at the targets.

Steve and Natasha had been training the new team a lot the past three months. Ira had been practicing hand-to-hand combat, and developing her powers. She was now able to transmit her healing powers a short distance through the air, instead of having to touch the person she was trying to heal. She and Wanda had also been sparring, using their powers to combat each other. They both were becoming advanced in telekinesis and energy manipulation.

When they weren't training, they were on missions. They had started out easily, taking out a few small HYDRA bases, and had slowly increased in difficulty, where they were going undercover to investigate HYDRA. Ira loved every aspect of this life; she felt it was a penance for the crimes that she had committed under HYDRA. She also loved spending more time with the Avengers. They were becoming like her family, and she had developed a close bond with each of them.

Ira walked out of the special room, and into the main area. She did a few sprints around the tracks, before finding herself at the punching bags. Steve had recommended using them to help improve her combat technique, so she used them at least once a day. She wrapped her hands, before beginning to punch the bag.

She drove her fists into the red bag, keeping up a steady pace as she hit it over and over.
In a way, it also calmed her. She was able to get out all of the anger and stress from the day, without harming anyone. After about fifteen minutes, Pietro came. He started with laps around the track. He always did a few—for him that meant more than a dozen.
