Chapter 1
"Promise me. No matter what."
"No matter what. I swear."
Those were the last words Wanda had heard before she, along with Natasha, Peter, Steve and Clint went into the warehouse. The words were still ringing in her ears as a door slammed.
Wanda blinked, her eyelids feeling very heavy. Suddenly she felt the sharp pain of needle piercing her arm. She let out a little squeak of pain and shock. As Wanda focused, the situation became clear.
Her eyes scanned the scene. Metal walls. Steel door. Cabinets and medical equipment surrounding the small room. The other four Avengers who accompanied her on the mission. And one strange man walking to each of them with an injection. Each one began to come to quickly.
"Finally! I was beginning to think I had set the shock level too high."
Wanda's head snapped to the stranger. He smiled eerily at the five, chained Avengers.
"I was the one who sent that tip leading you to the warehouse. Sorry, but it was the only way to get subjects for my new serums." The man spoke without sympathy.
Natasha was trying to pick the locks around her wrists and was furiously signing to Clint. Steve was watching the stranger intently and Peter just looked confused.
Wanda raised her arm as much as her cuffs allowed her and called the familiar scarlet light to her fingers. Then a monitor started to beep. That's when she noticed the tiny device wrapped around her wrist.
