Mute

Chapter 4

Natasha wasn't very a good cook so she gave them each a small portion of yelena's mac and cheese, luckily her sister doesn't put the hot sauce until it's on her own plate. The twins seemed to like it as they ate it, pietro holding wanda's hand while she lightly kicked her feet at the delicious food.

Being in hydra and pietro having the super speed, he needed a lot of food so the guards always gave him meals but wanda was hardly given any.

Pietro had tried as best as he can to give her some of his food but when he gets caught, they just get even more tortured so he had to force himself to watch as wanda eyed the meals he would get without being able to give her some.

Wanda used to talk all the time, she loved talking about everything and anything. Being in hydra made her stop talking, pietro doesn't necessarily know why she did but he never questioned it.

So now wanda would rely on her brother to answer for her.

It's been a month since nat got the twins to the compound and wanda was very attached to the woman. Pietro ended up being closer towards clint and steve, he still would keep an eye on his sister but would also not panic as much when she's not next to him.

Wanda was sitting next to nat, she was drawing on the coloring book that was given to her by the russian while she was doing some emails on her laptop.

She was typing away her last few emails when she felt a tug on her sleeve, turning to face a smiley wanda.

"Yes detka?" she said smiling, she still wouldn't touch wanda suddenly since the girl would still flinch.

Wanda grabbed the coloring book, showing it to the russian, it was an avengers coloring book and everytime wanda saw her in it, she would quickly point it out.

"You know there's other avengers to draw detka not just me" she said playfully.

The girl giggled, pointing to the drawing again, she drew nat's suit in red.

"Maybe I should tell tony to get me a red suit, it's very beautiful detka good job" she said and kissed her forehead.

Wanda froze with the action before she realized what happened, her bottom lip trembled as she just jumped into the woman's arms, giving her a hug. Nat almost dropped wanda with shock, the girl never did any physical touch apart from the occasional tugs on her clothes to get her attention.

She never touched anyone really apart from her brother. Nat tightened her grip on her, giving her many kisses which resulted in wanda giggling even more and tiny arms wrapped around her neck.

A few hours later, wanda was showing nat her legos and would messily write what she wanted to say to the russian on a notebook she gave her.

They were waiting for the delivery of a tablet that wanda could use to communicate better but for now she seemed happy enough to have her notebook. Her grammar wasn't the best but nat would still understand what the girl was trying to say but she was worried when a teary eyed wanda came to her and handed her the notebook that red, pietro

Nat patted the space next to her as the girl climbed up, "what's wrong with pietro baby? Did something happen?"

Wanda nodded, using the back of her palm to wipe her eyes and wrote again.

No plays with me

Nat didn't understand why he wouldn't want to play with her, giving how much he owuldn't ket anyone near wanda.

"Why did he not know want to play with you detka?" she said sympathetically.

Wanda scribbled again, don kno but pietro my only friend now no friends

Nat couldn't help but bring the girl in her arms, it made sense that wanda never had anyone else in her life besides her brother and now for him not want to play with her, she felt like she was truly alone.

"I'm sorry he did that baby but you do have friends" she said as she cupped wanda's cheek, "I'm your friend"

Really?, wanda wrote quickly, she hoped the redhead was her friend but was too scared to ask.

"Of course I am, I'll always be your friend" nat said feeling her voice almost crack at the pure innocence of wanda's face.

The girl was going to write something else before she stopped, looking nervous.

"It's okay wanda" the russian said, she didn't know what wanda was going to say but she wanted her to say anything she wanted.

She didn't expect this and it made her heart melt.

Lena my friend toos?

Nat smiled, "you want yelena to be your friend too?"

Wanda nodded, she didn't see the blonde that much but the times she did, she enjoyed her company and would always laugh at the things she would say.

"Of course she's your friend maylshka but do you want to tell her when she comes back later?"

Wanda smiled widely as she nodded.

Natasha was thankful it seemed to distract her from pietro not wanting to play with her but she still had to go talk to him about that and see what's going on.

I've decided to just let you guys imagine their ages but in this wanda is mentally younger than her brother cos of the trauma just for it to make sense
