Robin's Cousin

chapter one

Wanda's POV

"Dick, she is dangerous. You saw what happened on the news in Sokovia. I'm sorry, but we can't just accept her like that." The one Dick introduced as Roy hissed at my cousin, glaring at me with his arms crossed over his chest. I don't blame him, I wouldn't trust myself immediately either.

"You don't know Wanda like I-"

"You haven't seen her in ten years, Dick. A lot can change. You know that." Wally spoke softer, seeming like he was trying to spare my feelings. As if.

"Hey, Dick, it is okay. I didn't expect to be welcomed with open arms, anyways." I tried to smile reassuringly at my cousin, placing a hand on his arm. "If I cannot stay here, I will call Natasha and Clint back. They offered to help me. It is okay, Dick, we will keep in touch."

"No, Wanda, I just got you back. You aren't going anywhere." Dick threw his arm around my shoulder, pulling me into a side hug while staring down his friends. They seemed to shrink back, the two gingers that is. I looked to the floor in embarrassment, not liking all the eyes on me. "You are family, Wanda. You are going to stay here at the manor. I will talk to Bruce."

It took me a moment to realize he meant his father figure and not the green giant who I fought along side. I smiled gratefully, squeezing his waist before pulling out of his embrace. "Is it okay if I call Clint and let him know? He worries, especially since Pietro..." Dick gave me a small smile and nod, stepping back so I could reach into my jacket pocket. I pulled out my phone, hitting speed dial and waiting for Clint to answer. He answered after the second ring.

"Who's ass do I have to kick, kiddo?"

I rolled my eyes, chuckling a bit at his protective nature. "Clint, we both know I can handle myself just fine. I am calling to let you and Nat know that I will be staying with Dick for a bit and that you can pull out of the bushes now."

"How did you - telepathy, we are still in range aren't we?"

"Yes, and please tell Natasha not to plot my cousin's friends' maiming, I am a big girl. I can handle myself." I heard Russian cursing through the speaker phone, making the two gingers in the room gulp and share a look.

"Wanda, put your cousin on the phone. I need to chat with him." Natasha's voice came through the phone, calm and collected as always. I obliged, handing the phone to a slightly paler than normal Dick. "Hello, Nightwing. Don't look so shocked, we know who all of you are, it is our job after all. I am here to tell you that if even one hair on my precious Wanda's head gets harmed, I will come after you and everything you hold dear. Do you want to know what really happened in Budapest? Try me."

"Thanks, mom, but I will be fine. Please no more threats. I will see you two later, please keep your distance and don't try to kill any of them. Bye."

"Bye kiddo."

"Bye little one."

I hung up, blushing madly as I apologized profusely to my cousin for Natasha and Clint. We barely knew each other for long and they already were very protective of me. I guess they felt guilty for what happened with my brother, though that was not their faults at all.

"Wanda, it is okay. Don't worry about it." Dick chuckled, patting my head. He tensed suddenly, looking past my shoulder at something. Or more like someone.

"You must be Wanda, Alfred told me you were here." I turned at the sound of the voice, staring at the stern face of the one and only Bruce Wayne. He came closer, extending his hand for me to presumably shake. "I'm Bruce Wayne, Dick's father."
