After being rescued from the Red Room, Ellie Alianova, sister to Natasha Romanoff and Yelena Belova, is brought to the Avengers Compound to begin a new life. Haunted by her past but gifted with violet-hued powers like Wanda Maximoff's, Ellie starts training under Wanda's guidance.
As Ellie adjusts to her new home, she bonds with Wanda, and a quiet, tender connection begins to grow between them, even though both are oblivious to how obvious their feelings are. But behind Ellie's smile, her sisters and Wanda begin to notice signs of deeper pain.
With love, patience, and a fierce determination to protect her, Natasha, Yelena, and Wanda help Ellie confront her trauma and show her she doesn't have to heal alone.
I do not own any of the marvel content, I was simply inspired by it. The story does not follow exactly the events of the films.

Natasha Romanoff is content with her life at the moment. Not much has happened since she moved into the Avengers compound, and she's okay with that. She spends most of her time helping the newest Avenger, Wanda Maximoff, hone her raw strength, which is no easy feat. Natasha's happy to help until both of them start to have a few unfortunate realizations. Like maybe that twinge in Natasha's gut is jealousy, and maybe Wanda has a thing for women who could kill her a million different ways.
(Slow-ish burn, post-Age of Ultron, takes place between AOU and Civil War when the six new Avengers are living together in the compound.)
