Speed Shift: A Pietro Maximoff x Reader

Unstoppable Force meet Immovable Object

.

"Dad, what the heck! There's nothing here!" you complained over the coms.

Iron Man flew towards the HYDRA base taking out enemies as he went.

"Really? How odd." your father answered sarcastically.

You had been sent to an empty spot in the forest. Your father had a bird's eye view, he knew exactly what he was doing. You huffed angrily and kicked a tree.

"Shit!" you suddenly heard over the coms.

"Language!" the Captain berated your father.

The Avengers kept discussing the current situation, but you were too distracted laughing. Did Cap just say "language"? And to your dad?!

You fell on the snow laughing, tears in your eyes.

"Wait a second. No one else is going to deal with the fact that Cap just said 'language?'" your father interrupted.

"I know." said Captain America, "It just slipped out."

"No, no. He's got a point, dad," you said, smirking as you stood up, "you should mind your language." You started running through the woods, wanting to get closer to the action.

"I can literally leave you homeless." you heard your dad say.

"But you wouldn't." You answered gleefully.

You ran along the trees, eventually however, you got impatient and decided to just teleport.

One "Bamf!" later and you nearly face planted into a tree.

You let out a yelp and tripped backwards in shock.

"Ow…" you said from your place atop the cold, cushiony snow.

"Y/N?" you heard your dad panic.

"I'm fine, dad." you called out.

Note to self, listen to Kurt the next time he tells you not to teleport if you don't know where you are going.

You stood up and winced at the thought that you could have teleported into the tree. No use dwelling on it now. You ran a few meters ahead where some HYDRA agents finally took note of you.

You smiled. This would be easy.

You used your enhanced agility to kick off the nearest tree, going from tree to tree as you avoided the agents' attacks. When you were near enough to one of them, you flipped into a back hook kick and knocked your target out immediately. Quickly landing on the floor on all fours you teleported away to avoid being shot. You reappeared behind another agent, landing a strong turning kick on the side of his head, before teleporting away again.

It wasn't long before only one agent in the little group was left. You appeared in front of him and kicked his weapon out of his hands as he stumbled backwards. He backed himself into a tree and you quickly pressed your foot against his throat, cutting off his airflow until he passed out.

You dusted off your hands, despite not actually using them much and sighed. You looked around, proud at what you had accomplished. You adjusted the hoodie that you had put on over your X-Men uniform in order to hide any identifying logos and ran further ahead into a seemingly empty part of the woods.

You looked around, keeping your guard up. Suddenly, yelling is heard over the coms, startling you.

"We have an enhanced on the field." you heard Cap announce.

Your eyes widened. That might be a bit trickier to handle than just some goons with guns…

But there was nothing in sight. You tried to calm your nerves a bit as you ran towards a tree. You planned to climb up the tree in order to get a better view. But, before you could, something, or someone knocked you down.

You got back up quickly, assuming a defensive stance as the assailant zoomed past the trees, laughing as they did. By their voice you could guess it was a man.

He was running literal circles around you, toying with you. He knocked into you a couple of times, trying to throw you off. You had enough.

You quickly shapeshifted your arm into metal, matching Piotr's mutation as best you could. And extended it in front of you, hoping for the timing to be good enough. It seemed today was your lucky day. The man knocked into you again, this time running into your arm and falling onto his back with an 'oof!'.

You shapeshifted your leg into metal, as you had your arm, and placed your foot on his chest, holding him down.

"So you're the enhanced." you stated, matter-of-factly.

"Heh, no more than you." he replied with an accent you could clearly identify as sokovian.

You looked down at the man, taking the opportunity to memorize his appearance in case it became necessary later. The ends of his hair were white, you assumed it was bleached but you weren't sure. He was tall, at least taller than you, but you were pretty short so that wasn't really saying anything. He was also pretty handsome, but that didn't make you want to slap the smirk of his face any less.

"Enjoying the view?" he teased.

You would have said something or kicked him, but you were a bit distracted by something.

This guy didn't seem that much older than you. What… What was someone this young doing with HYDRA?

"You're just a kid…" you thought aloud.

"Ha!" he laughed, an eyebrow raised questioningly, "You look younger than I am. What does that make you then?"

That caught you off guard. Yeah, you were young, but you were with the Avengers, not HYDRA. There was a difference.

Unfortunately, if his plan was to distract you, it worked and he managed to free himself, zooming out from under your foot. As you stumbled to regain your balance, he suddenly zoomed back in front of you, leaning downwards so his face was inches from yours.

"See you around, Little Blue." he said, and then zoomed away again with a smirk.

You grit your teeth in annoyance and spoke so the others could hear, "I had the enhanced but he got away. It's a man, no more than mid-twenties."

"Do you know where he went?" asked Captain America.

"Even if I did, it wouldn't matter, he's fast, really fast. He could be anywhere by now."

"Copy that. Keep your guard up."

"Y/N, get back to the quinjet." your father interrupted before you could even formulate a sentence. "You've done enough for today."

You were about to argue with him, but you decided not to keep pushing your luck.

You unhappily stomped back to the ship.

"Y/N?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm going, I'm going."

BAMF!
