Recap

Matteo has been working on his powers after he got exposed by the scepter. After he got exposed and put into quarantine for a week he found out he got abilities. His abilities was telekinesis, His powers gave off a white glow. He was surprised since apparently he was the only one out of all the 2 others that survived that had only one power. He over heard that the 2 other survivors had more abilities shown but it went along with their powers. From what he also found out was that he has the same powers like one of them but it's only the telekinesis.

He would sometimes wonder if he would meet the survivors but he was scared. He gave up all on hope on it being his siblings but he knew he wasn't alone since his mother and father where always watching over him. He knew Wanda and Pietro where always with him but he didn't know where they where and if they knew he was alive or the other way around. He missed them terribly, he gets constant nightmares on him getting torn away from them and his parents, along with the torture he's been through. Although he has powers the scientists think that since Matteo is only 5 years old his powers be more and maybe have more abilities just like the other two survivors. When Matteo heard about this he was scared since he was only a child, he didn't know what the future had for him and his abilities. But he did know that he was thinking of one thing no other child should ever think about, death.

He was scared he would always get himself into trouble just to get beaten. And every time he did this he would just wish death would consume him. He hated his self for the powers that where forced onto him. He did find out that the twins signed them up for this but that's until he got out of quarantine. He was mad and upset, he hated how his own siblings turned him in for this. But he was upset that he would never see them again. He missed them dearly he just wanted to see them again. Even though they both where technically his mom and dad in a sense. He just wanted to hold them or see them one more time, but he knew it would never happen since he was alone for the past 6 months rotting in a cell.

Now

Matteo was sitting in his cell like normal just playing with his wisps that where along his fingertips. He had a tray of food on the little stand by the door for him but he didn't bother to eat. He learned not to eat anything but only eat when it came to dinner. He was just getting skinnier and more pale as weeks came but he didn't mind, he just wanted out of the hell hole he was in.

While Matteo was making time fly he heard the door to his cell slam open. "Get up" a deep voice said coldly. Matteo stoped what he was doing and stood up and looked at the guard. "Come with me it's time for your daily testing" the guard stated coldly again while he then grabbed Matteo by the arm. Matteo closed his eyes tightly and just let the guard drag him to the testing area again. This became a regular thing for him due to the fact that he was only 5 years old and had no one to help him.

Once Matteo was thrown onto the cold metal table he started to wiggle out but he was soon strapped onto the table. He did a little huff before he then looked up at the light that was above them. He didn't bother to hear what the scientists where talking about but he then felt himself start to get dragged into a sleep. He was pancaking a bit since they never put him on anything to knock him out. He didn't know what they where going to do, he just thought this was his death table. Not able to see or hear his siblings again so he just hopped he could see them again along with his parents up in heaven, in the afterlife.

In his dream

Matteo opened his eyes and he looked around and saw the town he used to call home now into shambles. He felt fear run up in his core, he didn't know what to do or expect. His so called home town was destroyed. "TEO!" A voice was heard in the distance. Matteo looked around in the shambles of his town. "WANDA!?" Matteo called out as he ran towards the voice. "GUPPY WHERE ARE YOU!" Wandas voice can be heard again. "SISSY!" Matteo yelled out as he got closer to the voice.

Once he got to where he heard his sisters voice he seen his sister on the ground next to a body. He didn't know who it was but he knew that his sister was there, but she looked a bit older now, like she was about 18. He knew that his sister and brother are now 16, since there birthday passed a couple months ago. Matteo walked up close to her then noticed who she was kneeling over. It was his brother with a lot of blood in his shirt from bullets. Matteo gasped before he teared up "B-Bubby?.." he croaked before he heard Wanda spoke. "You see what you did.. you should have been better off dead.. you killed him! It's all your fault he's dead Matteo!" Wanda said angrily as she got up and looked at him. Matteo backed up and looked at her "I-I didn't kill bubby..t-those mean people did it! I never did!..I would never kill h-him!.." Matteo said desperately as he seen his sister now look back at there brothers dead body.

"Mama and papa should have never had you.. you don't deserve to be my brother.. or a Maximoff!" Wanda said harshly before she disappeared along with Pietros body. "NO! BUBBY SISSY!.." Matteo yelled out as he ran and grab them. He then felt himself fall, he screamed before he looked around and saw himself falling down to a big body of water. Right when he braced himself for landing in the water he woke up.

Now

Matteo jolted up gasping for air, he then clenched his chest. He looked around at his surroundings and seen that he was in a different cell. He calmed himself down a bit before he looked down at his arms and legs and seen that they where all wrapped in bandages. He did a little sigh before he rubbed his arms. "(Mama..papa..I wanna leave h-here..)" Matteo said softly before he sighed. He then heard the cells door open, his eyes widened a bit before he closed them tightly preparing for a beating of some sort.

But all that he received was him getting pulled up to his feet gently. The young Maximoff opened his eyes and seen a man with short long hair, along with a metal arm. "We must train you before you meet the other survivors. Understood." He said before he looked down at the young boy. "Y-yes s-swir." Matteo said as he looked at him. The winter soldier then nodded at him before he gave him a look to follow him out the cell. Matteo took a shaky breath before he limped slightly behind him.

2 months later

Matteo was on the ground panting and sweating really bad. He had day after day nonstop training with the winter soldier after breakfast and lunch. Matteo had learned to call the winter soldier by a different name along the past 2 months. He called him 'Snowy' since to him it suited him. And surprisingly after a month he got used to it and the Winter Soldier went gentle on Matteo. He even helped him out with food and his English more. But when it came to training he had to put on an act, but Matteo knew he was a nice guy but just caught up into this bad man mess.

So Matteo went along with it and helped him out to not get him sold out on his act. So he took punched, and surprisingly he was learning hand to hand combat. He got pretty good at it but it all took a twist when he wouldn't see His Snowy again. He would always talk about how he wanted to get out of that hell hole of a cell and go out to the town again and be normal. Snowy would listen to him and talk to him about how it will get better and to just keep moving forward.

Matteo was sad that he wouldn't see Snowy again, all they told him was that he has a mission and he won't be back. To the 5 year old, it stung. He knew he lost another person again. Just as he did with his siblings. Everyone seems to just pull him away from the people he loved or cared for. But Matteo knew he would never forget his Snowy friend again.

Matteo was sitting in his cell in silence playing with his white wisps. He didn't have nothing better to do, he knew that Strucker would have him do something soon. And as soon as he knew it the cell door slammed opened which made little Matteo jump. "Get up. It's time you meet up with the survivors." Strucker stated as he then fixed his monacal. Matteo bit his bottom lip in fear before he stood up. 'Oh boy..here we go..' was all Matteo said in his head before he followed Strucker out the door of his cell.
