You Have My Word - Avengers: Age of Ultron Fanfiction

Chapter Five: Enhanced

"So, do you wanna do this the easy or the hard way?"

"What do you want from me?"

"A little information."

"I won't tell you anything!"

"Even your name?"

"Not even."

I snicker, letting my eyes fade from lilac and turn a beautiful royal blue. He took a step back and, as the barrier from my seclusion faded, I possessed him. I didn't need to know everything; just a little bit. I went through his memory. His name is Pietro. I also found a sister named Wanda. The two of them volunteered for experimentation from Strucker out of grief. He gained the power of super speed and a couple add ons. His sister got some amazing gifts as well. Then, I let him go. He dropped to the ground, shaking a bit.

"What did you do to me? What was that?!"

"A little trick. I'm sure your sister knows something similar, doesn't she?"

"How do you..." He started, but quickly stopped himself from saying anything else. He took a deep breath, taking the dagger out of his leg, dropping it, and running off.

"Yeah, you better run."

I chuckled to myself. I went and picked up my dagger, cleaning off the few drops of blood Pietro left behind. Then, I found my way back to the jet, getting there just a few minutes before Steve and Tony.

"See, told ya."

Steve nodded while letting a smile slip past his defenses. "I guess you were right."

As we headed back to the tower, Natasha, Steve, and Thor looked over Clint, making sure he was alright. Thor stepped away, walking towards me. I sat up a little straighter as he sat next to me.

"So that went well, all things considered."

"I suppose."

"Well we didn't lose you or Clint, so that's quite the victory. Steve said you wandered away to find the Enhanced. Did you?"

"Wander away or find him?"

"Both."

"I did wander, but I didn't find anything, so I came back."

"Mhm, I can tell you're lying. What did you find?"

"Fine, you got me. I found a little rabbit family."

He laughed and I joined in. He knew he wasn't going to get anything more, so he gave up.

"Thor, report on the Hulk."

Thor stood up, "The Gates of Hell are filled with the screams of his victims." He chuckled and I half snorted, knowing full well Bruce didn't want to hear that. Nat looked back at him, proving me correct as Bruce groaned.

"B-but not the screams of the dead of course... no no, uh wounded screams. Mainly whimpering, uh, great deal of complaining, and tales of sprained... deltoids and, uh... gout..."

I smiled widely, giving him two thumbs up, Steve swatted my hands away and I chuckled. Tony called out to Bruce, but I started to feel a little dizzy yet again. Steve noticed, like the annoying older brother that he basically is, and sat next to me. One hand on my back and the other on my leg, keeping me steady. I nodded to him and swatted his hands away softly. He leaned in, whispering in my ear.

"Did you find the Enhanced?"

I shook my head, again, not going to tell the team anything. They would get the information soon. He shook his head and walked over with Thor and Tony, talking about the scepter. I leaned my head back against the wall of the jet, thinking to myself about Pietro and his sister. How strange that they got such different powers from such similar experimentation. Steve looked over as I sat up, I shook my head again and he rolled his eyes.

Steve and I got along probably the best out of any of the other team members. We understood each other and found ways to communicate simple things through merely eye contact. The rest of the trip home was rather quiet.
