Chapter Two:

Bella's POV

After Wanda and Pietro helped me calm down some more, we got to know each other a little. Turns out I was like them in almost every way. They lost their parents to Stark too. I held both their hands when they got to the touchie parts. But when I held Pietro's hand, I felt a jolt of electricity flow through my body, in a good way.

His hand was large, but warm and soft. And I couldn't help but rub his knuckles with my thumb, this shocked me because I only did that to him and not Wanda.

Soon, Strucker came back into the room and sat in a chair across from us. "Bella, I would like to make you an offer."

"What kind of offer?" I asked him out of curiosity.

"Well, Wanda and Pietro here volunteered for an experiment. And now they have powers. Would you two care to demonstrate?" Strucker asked the twins. They nodded and Wanda stood up to go first.

She moved her hand and a red aura seemed to glow around her palm and fingers. The same glow shined around her chair that she was sitting in and it floated in mid air. I gasped in shock and awe.

"I can levitate things and I can mess vith people's minds. Showing them happy thoughts, read their minds, and show them their deepest fears." Wanda explained. She set the chair down and sat on it.

"I'm next." Pietro exclaimed excitedly. He stood up and then he suddenly appeared on the other side of the room in a blue blur.

"Super speed. That's amazing." I said standing up and hopping up and down in excitement. He smiled and blurred back to his seat.

"So what do you think, Bella? Would you like to volunteer?" Strucker asked, adjusting his eye glass.

I sat back down and thought for a minute. Being able to have the power to get revenge on Stark for my dad's death. It's all his fault that he died. Plus I could finally belong in a world that I feel like I belong in. No more pathetic, clumsy, plain Bella Swan.

"Yes, I am willing to volunteer." I said to Strucker. He grinned and nodded, standing up.

"We will start the experiment in a few days. For now, you will settle in and get comfortable with being here. The twins will help you to settle in. I will leave you three to discuss what you are going to do." He said and left the room once again. Once he was gone, Wanda squealed surprising me and Pietro judging by his wide eyes and they way he jumped in his seat.

"This is great. Ve have another girl. Oh you have no idea vhat it is like being the only girl around a ton of soldiers and scientists. So much testosterone."

"I know how you feel. I have a bunch of brothers in all but blood that are like a pack of animals." I said, laughing mentally at the inside joke. "I can't wait to find out what powers I have."

"Maybe you vill have super strength." Pietro said.

"Or sonic scream." Wanda said next.

"Or even a mental and physical shield." I suggested. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, what should we do?"

"Vell, how about we tell you out life story and you tell us yours." Wanda suggested. I thought about it; that would mean I would have to tell them about the Sparkle-fucks, the pack, and James. Well, they're not exactly human so the Volturi won't hurt them.

"Deal." I said. And then they proceeded to tell me about their life. Their parents, their life in Sokovia, and all that stuff. Once they were done, it was my turn.

I took a deep breath. "Okay, what I am going to tell you is pretty bad and you will see how much of a wreck I am. It all started when my mother divorced my dad and remarried to a minor league baseball player, Phil…." I told them how I moved to Forks to live with dad, went to Forks high, saw the Cullens for the first time, Edward's behavior in biology, his disappearance for a week, then his reappearance and his niceties, going to Port Angeles with Angela and Jessica, going to the bookstore, almost getting raped by a group of guys, Edward saving me, him taking me to dad at the station, me figuring out about Edward being a vampire, meeting the rest of the family, going to the baseball game and meeting the nomads, going to Phoenix with Jasper and Alice for my safety, going to the ballet studio as James said, him hurting me a little, Edward fighting him, James biting me, Edward sucking the venom out as Alice, Emmett, and Jasper killed James, my eighteenth birthday, and how Edward dumped me in the middle of the woods only for Sam to find me.

"I sunk into depression for a month before snapping out of it. I got my friends back and gained more in Jacob, Sam, his wife Emily, Quil, Embry, Leah, Seth, Paul, Jared, Kim, little Claire, Brady, and Collin. Then I found out that they were shapeshifters and can change into wolves the size of horses. And then there is imprinting which is like finding their soul mate. Sam imprinted on Emily and Quil imprinted on Claire, don't worry Quil is like a best friend for Claire. Then Jacob imprinted on my friend Jessica and Leah imprinted on my friend Tyler. Mike found a girl he really likes." When I finished, Pietro and Wanda were speechless until they broke out of their stupor and said one thing in unison.

"Wow…"

"Yup." I said popping the 'p'.

"You've been through more than ve have." Pietro said giving me a sad look and taking my hand, rubbing my knuckles with his thumb like I did.

"But I got through it with the help of my friends and family." I responded, giving him a smile.

The rest of the day was spent talking, joking, messing around, and playing small games like Rock Paper Scissors Handgun, brain teasers, and ninja. I can see myself becoming best friends with Wanda, but I have a feeling that something will happen between Pietro and I.

Strucker let me room with Wanda and the people who work for him put an extra bed in Wanda's room. I don't know how, but a few other people managed to find mine and my dad's hotel room and grab all my clothes and belongings. I was grateful.

"You have such nice clothing." Wanda complimented as she helped me sort through my stuff.

Over the time I spent with the pack, I decided to change my wardrobe a bit. I grew fond the colors black and white and bought a bunch of clothing in those colors, shirts, shorts, jeans, jackets, hats, shoes, even leather jackets and accessories.

"Thank you. If you want you can borrow some whenever you wish." I tell her. She looks up in shock and shakes her head.

"Oh no, it's fine. They are your clothing." She said. I shook my head.

"Wanda, you're becoming my best friend, maybe even my sister. I want you to." I told her. She smiled and pulled me in for a hug.

"Thank you Bella." She tells me. I smile and hug her back. We pull apart and go back to sorting. It's great to have a best friend and sister.

~~The Next Day~~

When I woke up, I forgot where I was for a second. Then I looked around the room I was in and remembered. Dad is dead, Strucker helped me, I met Wanda and Pietro, I was offered a chance to have powers, and then I got to room with Wanda. Turning to Wanda's sleeping form, I smiled.

I quietly slipped out of bed and changed into white skinny jeans, a black short sleeved v-neck shirt, black sketchers high tops, and a black hoodie. I walked out of the room and sat outside the door. I found out that the button between Wanda and Pietro's rooms was a doorbell.

The other door opened and out came Pietro wearing grey pants and a black jacket. He looked up to see me sitting there.

"Morning Bella."

"Morning Pietro."

He sat down beside me and we sat in comfortable silence. "Are you nervous? For the experiment, I mean." He asked me. I just shrugged.

"I've been nervous lots of times. But for this, I'm not. I'm ready to face it and what comes after it." I told him. He smiled and nodded. Wanda came out of our room all dressed in a black dress that ended mid thigh.

"Morning Bella, Pietro." She greeted.

"Morning Wanda." Pietro and I said in unison. This made all three of us laugh.
