Clint POV

"Hey guys, where have you been this morning? It's practically noon." Steve smiles. Sadly we couldn't smile back. "We've been in Bruce's lab and we found out some stuff." Bucky says.

"Aw lucky. At least you guys can go into the lab. Pepper changed Friday so I can only go help Bruce with a cure for two hours a day under surveillance pepper with be watching and other than that I'm prohibited to go into the labs for two weeks." Tony whines."Two weeks?" Sam asked questionably. "Fine a month and a half, but it'll take me two weeks to override Friday." Tony says.

"Guys, be serious. What did you find out?" Steve says sternly. I sigh and look towards Natasha. "Bruce thinks that Wanda is still Wanda, but as a 4 year old child. Whatever she ate in that burrito has somehow converted her mind and body to age back some years, but on the same day. Meaning today for her is 13 years ago, but her mind has no memory of the future which is now." Natasha quotes Bruce.

"So she doesn't remember anything about like the avengers?" Sam ask. "She doesn't know about that or the red." Bucky say which everyone understands, she doesn't remember her powers.

"Okay what else do you know?" Tony ask thinking. "Well Wanda's yesterday, in 2006, she was injected with something which we don't know of, we think it could be poison, so we just came back from Bruce's lab to get her blood tested. And she was in pain ever since we found her, we just didn't know because she didn't tell anyone. Her back was beaten with scars and bruises that could be killing her right now." Bucky growls with anger towards Hydra. She's only 4!

"w-what?" Sam, Steve and Tony's eyes widened.

"Yeah, what he said." I grumble. It's was quiet for a moment until Steve spoke up. "Is Wanda okay?" Wanda was just staring into space once again not speaking a word.

"She was afraid of needles and that jerk left." Natasha glared at me. "I went to get her that stuffed animal in my room. I thought it would calm her down." I bite my lip.

"Seriously? A hawk? Why not a falcon?" Sam complains. "You're stupid Legolas." Tony shakes his head. "Yeah and now she's not herself. She's being really quiet. I don't think she's listening." Bucky replies.

"I might just let her rest. Maybe some of us can go shopping for Wanda, like clothes, shoes and like sippy cups or like anything a baby will need." I say adjusting my grip on Wanda.

"Good idea. How about Natasha, Pepper, Sam and I go to the mall for the stuff and the rest will stay here?" Steve suggests. "But it's no fun without Wandaaa." Sam whines. We all give a weird look at Sam. Steve sighs. "How bout I just order the stuff online can just go to the toy store when Wanda feels like it?" Tony says in a duh voice.

"That could work." Natasha nods. Everyone else as well. "So what do we do now?" Sam ask. "How 'bout we just chill out. Unless something comes up, we can take a day off." Steve shrugs. "Fine by me." Tony cheers. "Yayy!" Sam exclaims. "Yeah sure." Everyone else replies.

"Well it's noon, want some lunch guys? I think Rhode is our right now and Bruce is busy, so it'll just be us." Steve asks. A chorus of sure and yes please we're heard, but none of them were from Wanda.

"Wanda? Are you hungry?" I ask placing her down onto the couch. She just shrugs. "Come on Wanda how about you eat some food? We don't want you to get sick or be hungry. How about you eat a little bit?" I ask desperately. She fiddles with the wings of the doll and just nods.

I just sigh. At least she's eating. "Thanks sweetie." I kiss he cheek. I look up towards Steve. "She's eating." Steve nods. "I'm just going to heat up the dinner we didn't eat, so food will be done in 5 minutes."

Wanda just sat there silently playing with the hawk and the rest was just having quiet conversations. Dammit. I blew it. I messed up. I left her alone and she trusted me. ME. To protect her. She thought I left her to deal with her fears herself.

"I'll be back in a couple of minutes Wanda. I uh need to use the restroom." Stutter and walk towards my room that has a built in bathroom.

I let out a frustrated growl to myself and grab my boxes of darts and start throwing them onto the wall of my room. One by one. Until Steve calls out for lunch.

Author's Note : sorry for the short chapter. Might be updating later today or tomorrow. Oh and yes I ship Wanda x Bucky and
Wanda x Peter, but it's not in the story.
