Another Romanoff [Original]

17

When Ana woke up she had a migraine and the back of her head hurt like hell. She went to touch it when she realized she was handcuffed to the bed she was in. She saw Wanda walk in but she had never seen that look towards her. Her best friend feared her.

" Who did I hurt?" Ana asked.

" How do I know it's you?" Wanda replied.

" You can read my mind. Just because we share a body doesn't mean we have the same personalities. Who did I hurt?"

" Pietro and I managed to stop her before she got to the other Avengers. We didn't really get hurt, just shaken up. That wasn't you,"

" But that's the thing, it was. You have no idea what it's like to fight your own mind. To have to fight to have control because of a few goddamn words being said,"

" You're right I don't. But Ana we need to know why Fallen Angel was after the Winter Soldier,"

" I don't remember much but I know it was when we first volunteered before the Avengers came. Strucker tried to get me to get their asset back. I told them I wouldn't because he was a good man. Then they showed me him killing my parents and they used my words. I guess they were triggered in my sleep,"

" Ana I'm so sorry,"

" It's fine. Please don't tell Nat. I don't want her to really know what happened,"

" I won't,"

" Can you uncuff me now? My wrist is getting raw,"

" Oh... yeah,"

Wanda uncuffed Ana as everyone else came in.

" Are you okay?" Nat asked.

" I'm as good as I can be right now, but I'm managing," Ana replied.

" Come on let's go get some lunch. That'll get your mind off things,"

" Yeah, that sounds like a good idea,"

" Are you sure you're stable enough?" Steve asked.

" If she feels like it she's obviously sure," Pietro barked.

" I'm just looking out for the safety of every-"

" Bullshit! You're scared-"

" Enough!"

Suddenly the ground shook and everyone realized Ana was out of control. After she realized it was her fault she quickly got in her chair. She felt Pietro's hand on her wrist as she tried to wheel out of the room. She slapped it off and wheeled to her room.

" FRIDAY lock the door please," Ana commanded.

" Yes, Miss Romanoff," FRIDAY replied.

" I thought I told Tony to replace my name,"

Ana set herself in her bed, thinking about what happened. Whatever Elisa did to her made her powers stronger. She had lost control of her powers. She could have hurt her friends. She didn't know what she would do if any of them were injured, or worse dead. 

" Ana let me in," Pietro said.

" No," Ana replied.

" You can't stay in your room forever,"

" Yes, I can,"

" Nobody blames you. Everyone can't have control all the time. You were so happy, don't do this to yourself,"

" Why do you care? I'm not some kind of mission! You don't need to make it your goal to make me happy!"

She heard nothing after that. Then footsteps started fading away. She felt guilty for pushing Pietro away. He was right about her being happy. But she also knew eventually everyone was going to leave her. It happened in the Red Room and it'll happen again. Eventually, everyone gets scared of her.
