The Unknown

Time Heist

"Why are you such a kid?" Aaron scoffed with a smile as he watched Y/n run down an aisle pushing a shopping cart then hopped onto the back of it as she slid across the tiled floor in the super market.

Y/n and Aaron had been best friends since high school, they went to the same college, and joined an organization together. They were practically inseparable.

"You're just no fun!" She yelled, her voice getting quieter the further she went. With a sigh Aaron followed her lead running down the clear aisle then copied the move, hopping onto the back. "What the hell?" she sighed when she saw her friend coming at her at full speed.

As their carts crashed together they both laughed earning a few side eyes from the other costumers in the store. "God they fucking hate us." Aaron chuckled.

"What were you thinking?" She asked smacking the back of his head causing him to lift his hand rubbing over the spot. "You didn't think to wait till I was out of the way?"

"You're very confusing you know. One minute I'm boring then the next I'm not aware of my surroundings...pick one." He said pushing her back into the direction of her cart. "Now please lets get something done, the store is going to close soon."

"Yeah, yeah whatever. Spice aisle is down here. 13." she said waving her head signaling for him to follow.

It was a typical summer in July, receiving storms every day from 1pm-anything later. Y/n was in her apartment in the kitchen putting up groceries she had bought not to long ago.

Reaching into the cabinet she accidentally knocked a few boxes of pasta over revealing a picture of her and Tony before the jealousy.

She picked up the boxes and set them aside on the counter keeping her eyes on the photo. When she heard her brother had gone missing on National Tv she knew something bad was worse to come. And there was.

Y/n wasn't snapped away, instead she lived and received news Tony had gotten married and had a child on the way not to long after half the universe disappeared.

When she heard her brother had died snapping his fingers she mourned for his death which didn't last long because Steven Rogers travelled back in time while he put the stones back grabbing Tony along the way, in a way, bringing him back to life.

She was annoyed that she felt the slightest bit of grief for her brother of all things she should've known, you cant kill a Stark, besides their parents.

She sighed and grabbed the boxes, putting them in there place on the shelf covering the photo back up. Then a high-pitched ring went through the room and Y/n made her way to the door pressing the button on the speaker to let the person talk.

"Y/n, hey I saw you making your way up. You didn't stop by the front desk to say hey."

"We literally came in together. Who's the target?" She asked cuttings to the chase as she leaned against the wall.

Aaron cleared his throat tapping the pen against the table, "Right, names are Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. They're twins. They escaped Hydra and became Avengers with your brother. So this might be a bit of a difficult mission for you."

"Do I have to kill?" She sighed.

"Nope," He said adding a pop to the P, "just bring them back here."

"How much do I get?"

"$500,000. You can finally leave this place and start something good for yourself."

"Yeah, we'll see." She chuckled, "Thanks for the offer."

"No problem, you know we all have to look out for each other in this building."

"Can't believe everyone here are murderers and we haven't been caught yet."

"What can I say, they recruited the best." He shrugged,

"Even though we don't know who 'they' are."

"Nobody does. I'll let you get going now, talk to you later."

"Bye." Y/n said releasing the button. "Looks like I'm coming home after all." She muttered to herself with a smirk. She headed to her room closing the door where she pulled out her computer and started researching the twins.

Starting with Wanda Maximoff, Y/n leaned back in her chair with her feet propped onto the desk and laptop in her lap as she studied her targets.

After a few hours she dug up a lot about Wandas past. Her parents killed by her brothers' missiles, her home destroyed, Lagos, Vision's death because of Thanos, and her favorite one to read, Westview. Y/n wrote down sensitive subjects to bring up to use against Wanda for when the two would eventually meet.

Even though she was a bit scarred, seeing what Wanda was capable of, she just thought it would make the game more fun. She was worried about Wanda putting her in a trance or playing mind games with her but she was confident enough to believe she would catch her before it happened.

She moved onto Pietro, learning about his death. "So much for being fast." She joked to herself. After having a few pages of notes she took out a highlighter to label the worse things to say to Wanda. The storm outside started to calm down, it was now 9:00pm so Y/n decided to start planning how everything would happen.

She got up from her seat walking across the hall to her 'work' room to grab her blue beaded bracelet. "J, are on?" She spoke out in the open waiting for a response from the robotic voice.

"Y/n Stark. Nice to hear your voice again." JARVIS responded with.

"Good, good, you too." She started. She moved to the center of the room hopping up and down getting her adrenaline up. "Remember the last thing I was working on? Time travel. Time glitch. Going through time backwards...time heist?" She rambled.

"Of course. All programs are up and running." Y/n walked over to a table that sat against the wall in the corner of the open room. She slipped on the glove part of her suit making sure it fit nicely before attempting her device.

"Yeah ok, you sure it's in the suit?" Y/n asked the voice while she tried to get her breathing back to normal.

"I am 100% sure." Y/n nodded at the response she got and stood still in the middle of the room. She messed with the dial turning it left the slightest bit.

She was back at her desk in her room feet up, laptop in her lap. Y/n turned to the nearest clock in her room and saw it was 7:00pm.

"J...I think we did it!" Y/n said excitedly getting up from her seat slamming her computer shut placing it back on the desk.

"Good work." The AI said, congratulating her for her 'Time glitch' which could now be used against anyone.

Y/n made her way to the couch with a proud smile of what she accomplished today. She looked outside seeing the storm coming once again so she grabbed a blanket that was tossed on the chair and brought it to the couch laying down while watching tv for the rest of the day.
