Out of the blue

Vanya woke the next morning with Allison leaning against her. They had stayed up half the night talking, Five explaining everything. She was still a bit shocked, but it made more sense now. Allison stirred slightly next to her, and woke up. She sat up, disoriented, but as soon as she saw Vanya, she relaxed. Just then, a voice rang out, "Boss would like you to know that breakfast is at ten, and there are some clothes just outside." Allison glanced at the clock, 09:30. They must have slept well. "Thank you, Friday."

"Your welcome. Boss says that he will get you some new clothes, but for now Mr. Parker and Miss. Maximoff's clothes will have to do."

"These are great," Allison said as she shock them out of the bag they were in. Vanya was in the process of waking up her brothers, a dangerous task considering Diegos talents, and Ben and Five's jumpiness. Once they were all awake, they got dressed. Allison thought this Maximoff girl had good taste, if a little bleak: mainly blacks and greys, with a few reds. Klaus took a skirt and a cardigan from the girl's pile, and left to the bathroom to get dressed. Ben opted for a hoodie and black jeans, as did Diego. Luther chose a t-shirt that had a science pun on it, and some blue jeans. Five sighed, but went for a similar outfit. Vanya went for some Jean's from the girl's pile, and a shirt from the boys. Allison chose a black skirt with a grey blouse. She noticed how all the girl's clothes were long sleeved. 

When they were all dressed, it was nearly ten so they left for breakfast. In the dining room, there were two people, Tony and Stephen. Allison quietly introduced them to Vanya, who gave a small wave before sitting down. Natasha and Maria entered the room, both wearing exercise wear. Steve and Bucky walked in- looking like they had been up for hours, which they probably had- at the same time as Clint, Bruce and Thor, who looked the exact opposite. They waited for a few minutes, before Tony sighed and addressed Friday, "Fri, where are Wanda and Pete?"

"Miss Maximoff is about to pour water on Mr Parkers face, as he is still asleep. She has been attempting to wake him for half an hour."

"Of course. Let her carry on."

"Miss Maximoff has just poured water into Mr Parker, who jumped onto the ceiling."

"Jesus, I dont get a break do I?" Tony sighed ashe extracted himself from the table and walked to the door. "Start without us," he yelled behind him as he walked down the hall. 

Natasha smiled, and helped herself to some toast, gesturing for the others to do the same. A few minutes later, Tony re entered the room with two teens, a boy and a girl. The girl looked extremely smug, and the boy wet. They sat down as Nat made introductions. Breakfast passed pretty quietly, though Peter threw an apple at Wanda, who simply caught it and bit into it, smirking at Peter, who frowned. When they were all done, the others began to disperse, leaving only the teens. "So, Mr Stark says you guys have powers, but he didn't say what the were..." Peter trailed off at a look from Wanda, who turned to smile at them, "It's not really our place, you dont have to tell us," Diego shrugged, "Why not, I guess you'll find out soon enough anyway," and he gave a rundown of their powers. When he was done, Peter and Wanda seemed impressed, "Cool, I can manipulate energy, read minds, telekinesis, you know. Peter... he's... well it would probably be best if we showed you:" Wanda turned to Peter, who jumped up, and landed on the ceiling, gripping it with his fingertips. He flipped down, and Five grinned, "Cool, so how does that work?" 

"Well basically I was bitten by a radioactive spider, and I got spider-like powers as well as enhanced senses and strength."

"Interesting, how did you get yours? Or were you born with them?" Fuve turned to Wanda, who gave a small smile, "No, I was experimented on by a Nazi organisation called Hydra," she pulled up her sleeves to reveal several scars on her arms, so that's why all her clothes are long sleeved, Allison thought. "Wow. How did it work?" 

"I dont know the exact details, they kept me under mind control for most of it, but they injected me with this... how do you say? Energy... kind of, את'ר..."

"Aether," Vanya supplied. The girl looked at her, "Uh, yes, you speak Hebrew?"

"Yes, my father wanted me to understand my roots, and my mother was Jewish so..." Vanya trailed off, and the girl smiled, "That is nice. The only other person in the tower who speaks it is Nat, and she is not fluent."

"Ok, Wanda, you two can bond over that later, meanwhile, does anyone wanna join us in training? We can bring you up some exercise clothes if so..." Diego grinned and nodded, as did Luther. Klaus sighed and shrugged, but seeing Ben's expression, nodded. Allison agreed, but Vanya said she was still a bit tired, "Do you like to read?" Wanda asked her.

"Um yes," Vanya loved the reading, loved the escape it gave her, and Wanda smiled, "I can lend you a few books, why dont you two come into my room and I can lend you some stuff before Maria takes you shopping?" Allison and Vanya nodded, and left. Diego, Klaus, Ben and Luther went up to the room to go change, leaving Peter and Five. "I can lend you some stuff, too? Your more my size than the others, and the clothes we lent were a boy big on me so I never wear them," Peter lead Five down the hall into a large room covered in science posters and posters from something called Star Wars. The bed was made, but the room was a mess, books and pencils scattered along the floor. Pwter navigated his way through the mess to get to the wardrobe. Five looked around, and a book caught his eye; a junior year science textbook. "Your in school?"

"Yeah."

"What's it like?"

"Well, I like it but most people don't. It gives me an escape from this life. I have a secret identity, so I can go to school and do this superhero stuff. I like it."

"They teach science?"

"Yeah, but it's all super easy. I go to a STEM school so..." Peter trailed off at a confused look from Five. Tossing him some exercise wear, he explained, "a science focused school."

"Oh. I take it you like science?"

"Yeah, I love working with Mr Stark in the lab."

"Cool. Why do you call him that. Why not Tony?"

"I dont know. He's always been an icon for me, and inspiration, so I geuss addressing him so casually feels weird." Five nodded, and went into the bathroom to change.

Wanda lead them all to her room, which was neat and nicely decorated. She gave Allison some clothes, and Allison left to use the bathroom down the hall. Wanda showed Vanya her books, smiling. "Some of them are in Slovak, some in Russian,  some in French and German,  and of course English."

"I dont speak Slovak or German, but I do speak Russian and English."

"Great, they are organized by author, and this part is Russian, this is English." Vanya couldn't help but stare as she spoke. She was so pretty. Their hands brushed, and they both jumped and blushed. "You- you told us you can see minds. Can you only see if you look?"

"No, I can see the general...הֵל, you know?"

"Yes."

"And u can hear some people's thoughts, like Pete- he thinks very loudly." They both laughed, and Vanya realised just how close they were. She jumped back as they seemed to snap back to reality. Wanda cleared her throat, "So, umm, yes help yourself to whatever book you want... I'll go... umm change."

She went into the bathroom to change, and Vanya chose a book from the Russian pile- she loved Russian, it gave her a small wave of nostalgia even though she had never even need to Russia- and settled herself on the small chair.

Wanda came out of the bathroom to see Vanya sitting, reading. "Feel free to go anywhere, just not below this floor. If you need help, just ask Friday." She smiled and walked out leaving Vanya alone with her gay thoughts.

Peter and Five met Diego, Klaus, Ben and Luther in the dining room, and Wanda came in with Allison. They made there way to the gym. When they got there, Peter and Wanda stood in front of the others, "How about we each give a demonstration of our abilities? We could probably work better together that way."

"Sure."

"I'll go first," Diego picked up a knife, moving towards the target. Instead of facing the target, he faced Allison and threw the knife in her direction. Wanda gave a small yelp, but just as it was about to hit Allison, it turned direction and hit bullseye. "That's so cool, dude," Peter stared at the knife, and grinned at Diego. Luther went next, picking up a weight that was made specifically for super soldiera. Five followed, disappearing in one place and reappearing in another. Next was Allison, who rumoured Diego into punching Luther. Ben refused to go, explaining that his power was too volatile to be in the same room as. Wanda and Peter nodded. Wanda went next, floating up to the ceiling and picking stuff up with her red, curling power. Peter went after that- eve  though they had already seen some of it. Klaus muttered something that only Wanda could hear when Peter was done. Wanda froze and went pale, "What did you say?" 

"The hot ghost guy said 'You didn't see that coming' sound cool," Klaus noticed Wanda's expression, just as he turned to speak to apparent thin air, "What? Oh that's rough man... Yeah... Ok." He turned to Wanda, "Hot ghost guy wants me to let you know that it wasn't your fault. Your his twin, right?" Wanda was so pale, Diego was scared she would faint, "Klaus, stop your scaring her." 

"No, I- how do I know your not lying?" She turned to Klaus, who answered, "ask something only he would know. You haven't told anyone."

"Okay. Čo ste mi povedali po najhoršom experimente?"

"'This pain will fade, the other kind wont. That's why we do this' wow, bit morbid, eh?"

"Wow." Wanda was never a very emotional person, but communicating with her dead brother seemed to bring something out I'm her. "Right, umm let's... let's get to training."

"How about, Five and I can do the climbing course," he gestured to a large obstacle course on the ceiling, "Allison and Wands spar, Luther lift some weights, Diego... thro some stuff or whatever you want I dont mind, and Ben and Klaus can use the machines? That way we can warm up before doing some team stuff."

The rest of the day went by nicely, they had stopped at around one for lunch, and went back to training after. When they had finished, they were all exhausted.

They each left to take a shower, and when Wanda was done, she decided to visit the roof, and watch the city go by. 

When she got up there, she found someone else already there who hadn't noticed her. Vanya.

She sat down next to her, taking in the view in silence, until Vanya spoke, "Those scars on your arms," she felt Wanda tense up next to her, "I recognise some of them. They arent from experiments." Wanda took a few minutes to reply, as if playing it out in her head, "Did you- you know..."

"I used to. I stopped when my life got a purpose, so only a few months ago. Have you stopped?"

Wanda nodded, "I realised that I cant live like this..." her voice trailed off, and she thought for a second, "I lost everyone I have ever loved," she looked out onto the city lights, which reflected onto her face, giving it a beautiful glow, "and I wished I was dead, too. To be with them. But I realised that... if I die, nobody will carry their legacies. I owe them that." She wiped a tear off of her face, and Vanya felt a great swell of regret for her. She knew that Wanda's life had been difficult, and yearned to hug her. She put her hand on the other girls, and lifted her chin up, so Wanda was looking at her. They were around the same height, but Wanda seemed to be weighed down by all her loss and regrets. She looked up at Vanya, and the other girl looked down into those beautiful blue eyes, which glistend with tears. Their faces moved closer together, each gazing into the other's eyes. Wanda was entranced by Vanya's chocolate brown eyes, and when their lips touched, she was relieved Vanya didn't pull away. They kissed passionately for a minute, and broke apart, each of them going bright red, "Wow," Vanya breathed.

"Yeah" Wanda giggled, and squeezed Vanya's hand. The two jumped apart when the door burst open, revealing a very out of breathe Clint, who didn't seem to notice the atmosphere of the room, "The, uh, the kids and Laura are here. They're just freshening up now, but we're having dinner early, so be down by 6." And with that, he left the room in a flurry. The two girls looked at each other, and burst into laughter.
