As Avengers Tower came into view, Natasha let out a sigh of relief. Not only was Clint going to get the treatment he needed, the young green hair girl would too. Once the jet landed on the helipad, Clint and the girl was rushed off to the lab for treatment, Natasha not far behind, listening to Doctor Cho ordering around the other doctors. Thor carried the scepter off the jet, passing Maria Hill on the way.

"Labs all set up boss," she told Tony, her voice as monotoned as ever.

The man in question turned the pilot's chair he was currently sitting on around. "Actually he's the boss," he replied, pointing to Steve. "I just pay for everything, design everything, and make everyone look cooler."

"What's the word on Stryker?" Steve asked Hill as he got up, done listening to Tony.

"NATO got him," she replied.

"The three enhanced?" He then asked as they began to walk inside.

Maria shook her head, "Mutants." She gave him a Stark Pad she carried with her, the screen open to the three in question at a protest, shouting angry words that were drowned out by the others. "Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, twins. Orphaned at ten when a shell collapsed their apartment building. And the girl you brought back is Lorna Dane. Orphan due to a plane crash. Sokovia has a ruff history, it's no where special but it's on the way to everywhere special." As she spoke, Steve swiped over a couple of pictures that showed the damage of the crash and the bomb.

"Their abilities?" He then asked, not looking up from the screen.

"He's got enhanced metabolism and increased homeostasis. Her thing is probability and reality manipulation, fear and metal manipulation, necromancy, chaos magic, telekinesis, and telepathy. And Lorna has the ability to manipulate all metals and magnetic fields." Steve gave her a confused look to which Maria let out a sigh. "He's fast, she's weird, and the girl is a living magnet." And Steve nodded his head in understanding, handing Hill back the Stark pad.

Pressing the elevator button, Steve told her, "Their gonna show up again."

"Agreed," Maria told him as the elevator door opened. "It says here that they have, and I quote, 'a bone to pick with Stark,' which seems to be why the siblings agreed to go with HYDRA and be experimented on." Taking a deep breath, Maria told Steve one last important thing. "And their father is Magneto."

Steve stood in the elevator shell shocked, and as the elevator door closed Maria thought that someone would find a passed out Steve Rogers in the elevator in a couple of minutes.
































Natasha knew their was something special about the kid and after Steve relayed the information he had gotten from Hill, she had no doubt in her mind that this kid is a force to be reckoned with. Sipping her smoothie, Natasha walked over to the young girl just as she was about to wake. All the metal in the room began to slowly shake, almost as if reacting to Lorna's emotions.

"Hey," Natasha said in the calmest voice she could muster, trying to get Lorna to calm down. "It's okay, your okay." When that didn't seem to work, Natasha reached her hand out, gently touching Lorna.

Lorna opened her eyes, wide and filled with fear. "Where am I?" She asked, her voice threatening and dark but horse.

"The Med Bay at Avengers Tower," Natasha explained as she stood to grab another smoothie. She handed the smoothie to Lorna, who examined it. "It's not poisoned," she promised as she realized why Lorna was examining it. "We're not going to hurt you."

Lorna's eyes watered, looking deep in thought. "People promised that, but it never comes through."
