Cutting the strings | A Pietro Maximoff story

Chapter 1

"Its the wrong substance, everyone get down"

The alarms were going off. I could feel my hands heating up to the point it was sort of painful ,then a shooting pain went down the middle of my chest, out of the corner of my eye I could see some water from a cup levitate . Everyone was going blurry, doctors where speaking but I could understand nothing they said, then everything went black.

*

I remember that day like the back of my hand, I agreed to the experiments and expected there to be some complications, but not as bad as that. I was originally supposed to have the power to manipulate metal, but they mixed up the chemicals.

They gave me the ones they were supposed to give to a young boy, but they gave him mine, he didn't survive. Now i can control the elements, fly and turn invisible, I didn't tend to turn invisible as it made me feel dizzy. Its a lot to handle, but after the training I found there were others that were going through the same as me.

Pietro and Wanda Maximoff.

Twins, orphans whose parents died during a bomb, caused by Tony Stark. They became my best friends, they understood, they new everything about my past and powers, helped my when nobody would.

Currently, i am still wearing my white tank top from earlier, ripped black skinny jeans and a black leather jacket. Black boots that lace up to me knees and my sisters necklace, which i never took off.

We were now sitting in the control room on some old crates in the corner watching Strucker's men run around like hamsters in a cage. Wanda was leaning against the wall watching the men with a hint of red in her eyes, Pietro was in the same position but his legs were placed on my lap and he was looking at me. I was watching birds fly outside the large window at the back of the room, occasionally checking to see if Pietro was still looking at me.

"Twins, Angel come over here!"

We heard someone shout, slowly we made our way over there, we weren't really awake as we were woken up at the crack of dawn for training. Strucker was arguing with his general about a plan of action. It wasn't until Strucker said:

" The Avengers are here, we cant send them out yet, they are not ready for this" we woke up.

Wanda automatically looked worried, Pietro grabbed our hands for support. I glanced up at him and smiled at him. He leaned in close to my ear and said:

" Don't worry принцесса, I wont let anything happen to you."

" I know Pietro, but what should we do?" I replied. Then Wanda piped up and came up with a plan.

"I say we fight, we defend but if anything gets to bad then we leave, for good. We have been trapped here to long, we need to get our revenge."

We all stared at each other, silently agreeing with the plan. I noticed that Strucker was still arguing with everyone, we waited until he was completely distracted with another computer screen and we snuck out the door behind the crates.

We calmly walked down the corridor in silence, Pietro was still holding my hand but he had let go of Wanda's. I don't think he noticed until i glanced down at our hands and then back at him, he quickly let go and a light pink blush spread across his perfectly chiseled cheeks.

"Pietro, you and Angel will go into the forest and take out the ones on the ground. I will stay here and get any that make there was into the base. I will contact you if there are any problems, got it?" Wanda declared, though Pietro wasn't happy about it.

" No Wanda, I cannot leave you here."

" I can look after myself, just keep Angel safe for me, you to Angel."

I nodded, knowing that i didn't really have a choice. Pietro gave me a smile and watched Wanda got down some old concrete stairs to the outside platform. Pietro stared at me mischievously, I knew that look.

" You know принцесса, we can get down there fast if i run us down there"

" Fine Pietro, just be careful красивый." I replied with a smirk. Then he picked me up bridal style and ran out of the building.

I was dropped into a pile of fresh snow near where the fighting was taking place. I glanced up to see a giggling Pietro, i scowled at him and made a snowball appear in my palms. I launched it at him for it to hit his face. I burst into a fit of giggles while he brushed himself down.

" Not funny принцесса." He said with a small smirk tugging at the side of his plump lips.

"Paybacks a bitch, now lets unleash hell!" I replied.

We could see a man with a bow and arrow in the distance aiming for the bunker about 10 meters in front of him, he was currently behind a tree. He shot an arrow, but a blue trail of mist rushed in front of him and the arrow was gone. Confused, he tried again only for the mist to return, this time he was thrown onto the ground. I turned myself invisible and made my way towards him.

"What, you didn't see that coming?" Pietro said with a smirk. Thats when I made an appearance, the man looked behind him and saw me, so i threw him into the radar of the gun in the bunker. A bullet hit his side as he landed on the floor .

"I don't think he did красивый" I told Pietro. He started laughing as a woman in black with red curly hair ran to the aid of the fallen man. I looked at Pietro and he nodded.

"Lets go and get Wanda, then lets get out of here" he said. I smiled wickedly at the destruction that was being caused, and then followed Pietro to Wanda.
