Sapphic

Wanda Maximoff had never given much thought to her sexuality. In a world revolving around sex she found herself confused and lost as an omega she was supposed to have a natural urge to be knotted and want to have pups, but she didn't she just hadn't had time.

Her and nineteeen other recruits were standing around in the gym waiting for their new instructors to come in. She was one of only three omegas; the class had sixteen alphas and one beta in addition to the three omegas. They smelled the instructors before they walked in, Alphas.

Through the doors came Bucky Barnes and a female Alpha none of them had seen before. Wanda watched with slight amusement as everyone in the class straightened in an attempt to impress the instructors aside from one alpha, a bald overly muscled guy. Bucky and the black-haired woman came to stand in front of the group, stopping with their legs shoulder width apart and their arms crossed. They looked deadly.

“I'm Sergeant James Barnes, but most of you probably know me as The Winter Soldier. You will refer to me as Sergeant Barnes. Understood?” Bucky said as he surveyed the group, his eyes narrowing.

The students all barked out “Yes Sergeant Barnes!” and nodded their heads in understanding, aside from the same alpha from before. Wanda secretly hoped he would get his ass handed to him. When she tore her eyes from him and back to their instructors she noticed the female instructor glaring at said alpha, looks like her wish might come true.

The alpha woman turned her attention back to the entire class and lifted her chin, making herself look taller, despite her already being approximately five foot nine. “I'm Madeline Newly, but you can all call me Alpha Newly, Miss Newly or if you're pressed for time just Miss is fine.” Alpha Newly said without humor, despite the small smirk that was on her face.

Wanda decided she liked Madeline, she smelled wonderful like fresh flowers and soil. The omega found herself focusing on the scent and zoning out for a minute before realizing Sergeant Barnes was speaking again.

“You're all going to practice sparring. This is just to assess where you are, so don't be too worried, though we appreciate technique over brute strength.” This caused Madeline to snort and roll her eyes. “Don't seriously maim or injure each other and strictly no powers allowed.” Bucky finished whilst shooting a glare at Madeline.

“I'll pair you up based on the experience levels that are written in your reports.” Madeline announced sounding incredibly bored.

Wanda watched as another omega was paired with an alpha before hearing her name being said.

“Maximoff, you're with Ryan.” She said nodding over towards the beta Wanda had smelled earlier.

He was a decent looking guy, short brown hair, and wide green eyes, he smiled and walked over to Wanda. “I'm Brian.” He said offering his hand.

“Brian… Ryan?” Wanda asked in disbelief.

Brian gave her a sheepish smile paired with a shrug.

She nodded slowly before shaking his hand and offering her own name.

“Oh, I know who you are! You're a legend.” Brian said, a starstruck look in his eyes.

Well, that made her uncomfortable, her cheeks reddening in embarrassment. “Uh, Thanks?”

Her attention was dragged away from the awkward beta in front of her as she heard the obnoxious alpha from before loudly start complaining about whom he was paired with. “Aw, come on sweetheart! Why don't we go a few rounds?” This comment was accompanied by a wink at Madeline which surprisingly made Wanda's insides burn.

Bucky had to physically hold the Alpha back to keep her from beating the ever-living hell out of the other alpha. Alpha/Alpha pairings weren't totally unheard of but, she could tell Miss Newly would probably tear this kid apart before ever considering sleeping with him.

Madeline grit her teeth, closed her eyes and let out a huge sigh. “Start sparring.” She snapped as she opened her eyes again. The alpha moved to start circling the gym, Bucky following behind her.
Wanda and Brian sparred and found out they were both decent at sparring but, definitely not the best, a quick look around the gym showed that the omega/alpha pair seemed to be the least experienced. As Madeline walked past Wanda and Brian Wanda found herself fighting with renewed vigor, hoping to impress the sweet smelling alpha.

“I'm gonna fucking kill that kid. I swear to fucking God, Bucky, I will fucking murder him.” Madeline growled under her breath to the other alpha as they continued walking past Wanda and Brian.

Wanda found herself snorting at the comment which didn't go unnoticed by the female alpha who stopped and turned back to raise a questioning brow at the omega girl. She now found herself hopelessly distracted as she tried to take in all of the alphas features while avoiding the punches Brian kept throwing. The omega didn't stand a chance while this distracted, Wanda let out a sharp gasp as she felt Brian's fist connect with her ribs.

“Shit are you okay?” He asked, stopping completely to evaluate her.

“Fine.” She said shaking her head as she got back into a fighting stance. “Come on.”

“Don’t allow yourselves to be distracted.” Miss Newly announced, causing Wanda’s cheeks to flush, as she and Bucky continued circling the recruits.

After a few more rounds around the recruits Bucky and Madeline stopped by Brian and Wanda again. The smart part of Wanda’s brain knew they had only stopped there because it served the best vantage point over all the recruits but, the silly part of her brain hoped it was because Miss Newly had taken an interest in her. Which shocked Wanda as she had never felt the need for an alpha's approval this strongly before.

“So what do you think?” She heard Bucky murmur.

She and Brian quieted just enough to overhear the alpha's conversation without making it obvious.

“I know I'm supposed to be assessing, but honestly I can't stop singing Cowboy by Kid Rock in my head. Can we play some music for fuck's sake? All this grunting and gasping is starting to annoy me, they shouldn't be able to land that many hits on each other and do none of them have stamina? We should make them run as punishment.” Madeline huffed in annoyance and rolled her eyes which caused Bucky to let out a loud laugh which he tried to disguise as a cough.

All of the recruits curiously stopped to face their instructors causing Bucky to narrow his eyes at the class. “Did I say stop?”

Everyone scrambled to get back into fighting stances, not wanting to let their instructors down. Out of the corner of her eye, Wanda noticed the same bald headed alpha moving slowly and lazily, his attitude saying he thought he was above this.

After another exhausting thirty minutes of sparring Bucky's voice rang out through the gym, “Alright, take a break and listen to what we have to say.”

Madeline stood beside him, her arms held behind her back and she stared them down. “We can't say we're terribly impressed,” almost everyone hung their heads, “But, you all have potential and that's why we're here. Over the next few months, we will turn you into exemplary cadets. We'll accomplish this through lots of hard work and long days, though we expect to lose almost half of you before the end of this.”

“We haven't seen that all of you want this. You need to prove you want this.” Bucky added with a curt nod at the students.

A chuckle echoed through the gym and everyone turned to see who it was, of course, it was the same arrogant alpha.

“Is something funny ah, what was it?” Madeline asked with her eyes narrowed and head cocked.

“Duncan Smith, and I know what I want, Miss Maddy.” He said as his eyes raked over her body.

Wanda watched as the female alphas nostrils flared and she grew tense, her anger radiated off of her causing the air to thicken. All Wanda wanted to do was curl up in a ball and the woman's anger wasn't even directed at her.
“Why do you want to be an avenger, Duncan?” Alpha Newly asked when she said his name it came out sounding more like an insult than his name.

“Seems fun, omegas love to throw themselves at avengers.” He answered with a shrug.

Madeline stepped towards him raising her fist and mumbling “Why I outta…” only to be stopped by Bucky, who gave her a pointed look.

“That brings us to our next point, we were hoping for a volunteer to spar with one of us as an example to the class.” Bucky said loudly in an attempt to distract from the tension.

“So glad you volunteered, Duncan.” Madeline challenged, a sinister smirk spreading across her face. “Step forward and everyone else step off the mats and against the wall.”

The rest of the class promptly responded and moved against the wall, none of them wanting to be the next recipient of Alpha Newly's rage.

Duncan swaggered forward and lazily held his hands up before saying “I won't go easy on you, sweetheart.” He tacked on a sleazy smile and a wink.

Madeline stepped towards him with a sweet smile on her face before quickly shoving her palm up into his nose, resulting in a fountain of blood and a sickening crunch. “Good. It's about time you put effort into something.”

“You broke my fucking nose!”

She simply shrugged in response before taking a fighting stance. He lunged forward, a yell erupting from him as he attempted to punch her. She easily deflected it and moved to kick his side. He growled as it hit, he attempted to punch her but was again blocked. Finally,he randomly started throwing kicks and punches all of which she avoided, easily dancing out of the way or throwing out an arm to block it. She harshly kicked her leg out, planting it firmly in the center of his chest and shoving, causing him to fall flat on his back as she gracefully landed in a crouched position. He attempted to wipe away some of the blood from his face as he forced himself back up, puffing like the big bad wolf the entire time. His annoyance was radiating off of him as he continued to fail at landing a hit on her.

Wanda's eyes were glued to Madeline. The woman was stunning. She watched as Duncan stood with his left leg and left fist forward which caused Madeline's eyes to light up. The alpha female ran at the man and jumped, her left leg landing on his thigh and before he could react she pushed herself up with her leg and twisted to swing her right leg over his shoulder so she could hook it around his neck so she was now sitting on his shoulders. She locked her legs around his neck and used the momentum to toss herself backward causing them both to fall, she tucked her chin to her chest as she fell and upon hitting the ground she rolled so he was face down on the floor.

The alpha quickly jumped up and stared down at the now defeated man. She kicked his side and growled at him to get up. Slowly, he stood and squared his jaw as he stared the alpha female down.

“Do you get it now? You have to take this seriously and if you continue with this careless attitude you could get your future teammates killed. Do you understand, cadet?” She hissed and she stepped towards him, despite having to look up at him she carried herself in a way that made her seem ten feet tall.

He continued to stare at her silently, refusing to answer.

Her eyes narrowed and she took a step back and shook her head with disgust before starting to walk away. She froze in her tracks when she heard a scoff behind her. Everyone watched in silence as she clenched her jaw and turned to face the other alpha. “Do you think this is a fucking game?” She seethed.

“Yeah, kind of.”

In the blink of an eye Madeline had stalked over to the man, grabbed him by his throat and lifted him off the ground. ‘

Holy shit,’ Wanda thought, ‘She's really fucking strong.’

Before everyone's eyes, a woman who was a maximum of 130lbs had just lifted a man who was well over 200lbs of pure muscle off of the ground, holding him by just his throat.

“You need to learn some respect, your attitude will get you killed. You don't seem to understand that. There's no bliss in ignorance and if you believe you can coast through life with that attitude you are painfully ignorant. Being cocky will get you killed.” She emphasized. “This is not a fucking game and if this is really that amusing to you please feel free to leave. I don't know about you, but I won't just sit and watch the world burn. What we do we do to make a difference. We aren't avengers for the glory. I've seen hundreds of agents just like you flunk out of their classes or die in the field because of their attitudes. Being cocky in the field will get you killed. You have an opportunity to make a difference here. Be the change, not the problem. You have to be here because you want it because you want to make a difference in this world so fucking badly that you would die to protect it. Do you get that?”

She was looking at him so intensely Wanda wondered how she hadn't burned a hole through him. Madeline stood expectantly and waited for an answer. All he did was swallow heavily and continue staring at her.

“Will you make a difference or just fill a grave?” She asked, her words sending a chill throughout the room.

Her question was met with more steely silence. “That's what I thought.” She scoffed before shaking her head again and tossing him to the floor. You should all ask yourselves that question tonight.” She added before heading to the door.

Duncan slowly shoved himself upright so he was in a push-up position before lifting his head and rasping out “I want to make a difference.”

Madeline froze in her tracks.

“I want to make a difference, Alpha Newly.” He repeated his voice stronger this time.

She slowly turned back to face him, she stopped to evaluate him for a minute before nodding and saying, “Good.” With that, she turned and walked out of the gym.

Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief as she left the gym.

Bucky stepped forward and slowly pulled Duncan to his feet. “Go to medical, kid.” He said patting the alphas shoulder with a tight smile before turning to face the rest of the class. “Class is dismissed for today. Go home and we'll see you back in two days, be here by two.” After giving the class a quick nod he left the gym.

The students murmured quietly to each other as they all started filing out. Brian walked beside Wanda babbling about how incredible that had been, but she didn't hear a word, she was too focused thinking about a certain alpha.
