Prelude~

Not even a month after the Battle of Sokovia and for the Avengers life was crawling back to normal; Bruce Banner was still MIA, Clint Barton had returned to his wife and children, Thor returned to Asgard leaving Tony Stark, Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rogers to train the new recruits in Sam Wilson, James Rhodes, Wanda Maximoff and Vision. Nick Fury had been able to put together a base along with Helen Cho, Maria Hill and Erik Selvig and together they watched the training with a keen eye. Even though they tried to get over the battle they couldn't get over those they had lost, mostly Wanda with her brother Pietro. It was one day when the group was training that Fury called Wanda aside so that she walked over asking,

"What is it sir?"

"I wanted to inform you that we have been successfully been able to put your brother in cryostats." Fury says to her making her brows knit together in confusion as she crosses her arms saying sounding annoyed,

"I do not understand, what have you done to Pietro?"

"What I mean is that with the help of Dr. Cho and Dr. Selvig we were able to suspend him in a state of frozen time, in other words he's not quiet dead." at this Wanda's eyes lit up with excitement as she eagerly said,

"So you can bring him back to life right?" shaking his head, Fury put his hands behind his back saying carefully but honestly,

"No, not with our technology. But we are hoping to contact Thor and see if he can with his technology be able to. His planet is far advanced and if we are lucky, he may be able to help us. It is our only chance—otherwise your brother will be frozen in his current state." Wanda's excitement died as Fury told her as he exhaled a breath of air,

"Look, kid, I'm telling you this so you don't find out from the wrong person alright? I thought you deserved to know." nodding, Wanda thanked him before going back to training and as Fury was leaving in walked an agent in training. Wearing a black uniform, the striking feature about the young woman was her blue short cut hair. Grinning at the group mock-fighting each other, she watched for a bit before calling out,

"Hey guys!" as the group turned towards her, it was Steve who called out,

"Good morning Agent Hayes!" at this she made a face while walking over telling him,

"I'm not an Agent yet Steve remember?" then slapping him playfully on the shoulder asked the group,

"Any reason you lot are working your butts off?" Tony came swaggering over saying to the blue haired young woman,

"Top Secret love, can't say even if we wanted to." rolling her eyes, she withdrew her cellphone and waved it in front of his face saying in a mocking voice,

"Then I won't give you guys the latest gossip about what the world thinks of the Avengers from Sokovia." here the gang exchanged glances so that it was Natasha who asked,

"What does 'the world think'?" yet the blue haired young woman shook her head saying as she wagged a finger,

"Nope! Tony made you lose that privilege!" causing Tony to whine as Vision simply snatched the phone away from her, being at least three inches higher than her making her pout in the most adorable way. Unlocking her phone he read the page aloud,

"Avengers yet again save the day from army of robots intent on destroying Sokovia the European country used to house human experimentation. No world leaders are willing to comment about the human experimentation comments yet," only Wanda cut in asking sounding defensive,

"How do they know about the human experimentation?"

"Good question, that's what Fury and the others are trying to figure out. They think someone linked the information—someone from HYDRA." the blue haired young woman said as Steve asked,

"Who would do that?" shrugging, the blue haired young woman held out her hand asking Vision,

"Can I have my phone back now V?"

"But of course Kyra." he said handing her back her cell phone so that she tucked it into her back pocket as she turned to Wanda saying,

"Oh, by the way, I know where they're keeping your brother. If you want—I can sneak you in to see him." here Wanda's eyes brightened at the prospect and she nodded eagerly but turned to Steve the leader of the gang who smirked and nodded so that she ran off following Kyra who called,

"See you guys later!" as they ducked and raced through the Avengers Base, they went down two floors to the Medical Science Laboratory Floor before Kyra came to the last door on the right of the hallway. Typing in a code on the number panel, the sliding glass door opened allowing the two to step inside. Once inside Wanda came face to face with a glass coffin housing her brother's body suspended in what appeared to be blue colored air. With wide eyes, Wanda slowly stepped over towards it asking,

"Is he—breathing?"

"Not according to Dr. Cho and Selvig, he's in a state of frozen cryo-something or rather. In simple terms he's suspended in the minutes after he lost his life. They hope that Thor's people might be able to bring him back to life in this state." Kyra replied so that Wanda with tears in her eyes nodded panting heavily as Kyra placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. But suddenly Wanda shrugged it off and stormed out of the room with head hanging low leaving Kyra alone in the restricted room. She was about to leave herself when she turned back around towards the coffin and looking at the silver haired young man felt a wave of empathy wash over her whole existence. Slowly stepping over towards the coffin, she placed a shaking hand on the lid before feeling her breath stolen from her and found herself in a pitch black void. Blinking a few times, she turned in a three sixty before calling out,

"Hello?" so that she heard it echo seemingly for miles on end until she heard a reply!

"Help," came the weak voice of a male with an accent so that she raced towards the voice to see—Pietro Maximoff! Lying on his back staring up into the black void on nothingness, she knelt down beside him as he asked,

"Who are you?"

"Um, Kyra Hayes—an agent in training but that isn't important right now. What is important is figuring out where the hell I am." gasping for a breath, Pietro told her,

"I do not even know where I am Kyra." cursing, Kyra looked at his body full of bullet holes and bleeding and said softly,

"I know your sister." making him look up at her with pale blue eyes and ask,

"Truly?" nodding, Kyra spoke of Wanda and how lonely she had been without him before she grinned saying,

"I have an idea, and it probably won't work and it's probably a crazy ass one—but take my hand." brow furrowing, Pietro asked her sounding strained,

"Whatever for?" only Kyra didn't say anything yet instead held out her hand for him to take so that looking between her hand and her smiling gentle eyes, Pietro took it so that back inside the room entered Fury along with Wanda, Steve, Tony, Natasha and Vision all of whom watched as Kyra's body fell limp towards the ground only Vision caught her before she hit the ground. Yet what caused them all to go wide eyed was that Pietro had his eyes open inside his coffin and was trying to get out!

"Steve get Dr. Cho and Dr. Selvig now!" Fury shouted so that Steve and Natasha raced out of the room as Tony ran over towards the coffin to let Pietro out and as he panted the fresh air Wanda embraced him tightly. Fury watched with narrow eyes as the two siblings spoke in their native tongue before Pietro looked around to see Kyra passed out in Vision's arms.

"She—saved my life." he said sounding both relieved and thankful as Fury asked,

"But how?"

"She said to take her hand since she had an idea, I do not even think she knew if the idea would work." Pietro replied as the two doctors came running in with two assistance to check him over as Wanda said crying,

"Thank the Lord." yet Fury wasn't as thrilled as he stared down at Kyra being held by Vision.
