Chaos Chapter 14: Training, Clubbing and Naming

New Avengers Facility, New York

Stiles was slammed down on the training mat for the fifth time that morning. He gingerly got to his feet despite his body's protests. He faced Natasha or has he privately named her "The Demoness Trainer", and raised his fists. "Again" he growled determinedly. Wanda and Pietro stood at the side of the mat quietly observing the sparring pair. They had been at the New Avengers facility for a few weeks now. Everyday the trio got up at the crack of dawn for combat training and fitness, later on during the day, they had weapons and protocol training. Only on Sunday's were they given the day off to relax.

"That's enough for today Stilinksi" Natasha ordered calling an end to their lesson. Stiles sighed in relief and walked off the mat. He spotted a movement to his right and ducked just in time to avoid a roundhouse kick from Natasha. He turned around and raised his arms just in time to block Natasha's punch.

He drew back his left fist and brought it up in an uppercut but Natasha grabbed his arm in a wrist-lock. Thinking quickly he threw back his elbow and caught Natasha in the stomach. Natasha released Stiles who in turn grabbed Natasha by the shoulders and made to knee her in the stomach. Natasha anticipated this and twisted out of Stiles's grip.

Natasha made to kick Stiles in the stomach but Stiles caught her foot. Natasha however, twisted in the air so that her free foot caught Stiles in the face which in turn knocked the teen to the ground. Stiles groaned in pain. "Now that's enough for today Stilinksi" Natasha said offering Stiles her arm. Stiles took it and she helped him up.

"How'd I do?" he asked her. "Your situation awareness skills have improved but your reaction time and reflexes could use a little work, also you need to be careful not to telegraph your moves to your opponents, other than that your coming along quite well" she answered honestly.

Natasha was surprised. She expected that training three civilians who had never been in physical combat before would be a nightmare but surprisingly, the trio had made good students. Once they got past the basics, they excelled in a short time. Stiles, in particular she noted had been pushing himself to do better each lesson and was really dedicated to learning how to defend himself.

"Its all because of Ward" she thought. The man in question had yet to be caught. From what Natasha had last learned from Phil and his team, Ward was gathering money and resources. To them he appeared to be gearing up to be the new head of HYDRA. She genuinely wished that man a painful death for what he did to Stiles, preferably at her hand but she would take what she could get.

"How are feeling Stiles?" Wanda asked Stiles grimacing in pain herself due to her earlier spar with Natasha. "Like someone ripped off my arms and beat my body with them, how about you?" he answered. "Sore but getting better" she told him. "Don't know what you're all complaining for, I feel fine" Pietro said smirking. "Yeah well not all of us have accelerated healing" Stiles shot back irritably.

Over the past few weeks the trio had learned many things about their powers. Pietro learned that at his best he could run twice as fast as the speed of sound (1400 mph), even run across water without sinking. He learned that in other to maintain his powers and body he had to eat vast amounts of food. He also learned that due to his accelerated metabolism he was able to heal a good deal faster than regular humans. The scientists at the facility concluded that this was why Pietro survived up until the moment Stiles was able to heal him fully. Pietro learned that he was able to learn and process things much faster than everyone else.

Wanda had learned that she could launch herself into the sky and glide a great distance to the ground. Stiles was trying to work her towards fully fledged flight. She learned how to move and suspend multiple objects at the same time. the largest object she had moved so far was a small truck. She learned how to create strong near impenetrable shields of red energy to protect herself. She was also learning how to move objects without using her hands as Natasha pointed out that using her hands all the time could render her vulnerable if an enemy decided to bind them.

Stiles was learning the limits of his powers. He learned that if he tried to completely change the nature of his environment then it would tire and deplete his energy real fast. One instance where Stiles tried to conjure a a lightning storm on a clear day left Stiles drained to the point of unconsciousness. He learned that while he could manipulate certain aspects of his body, i.e. Strength and speed, the effects were only temporary and put strain on his body if he tried to make the effects last.

Steve and Vision had been training the three of them on how to incorporate their powers into their fighting. There had been a few accidents namely one where Stiles and Wanda tried to combine their powers together only for their powers to spiral out of control and blow a hole in the roof of the training area. Needless to say that Steve and Natasha decided to keep the two separate for powers training.

The trio finished their training classes for the day and they headed down to the lobby to meet Steve. When they got their he appeared to be talking to two African-American men. The trio recognized Colonel Rhodey from the Battle in Sokovia but the other shorter man, they were unsure of. Steve noticed them and waved them over.

"Stiles, Wanda, Pietro, you remember Colonel Rhodes, A.K.A. War Machine, this is Sam Wilson A.K.A. The Falcon, they'll both be joining our new team" Steve told them. The trio shook hands with the new members and they got to know each other. To Stiles, Rhodey seemed to be an OK guy, a bit of a stickler for rules but otherwise alright. Sam appeared to be easy going and funny but also serious when the situation called for it.

"So what kind of abilities do you have ,Mr Wilson?" Stiles asked looking curiously at the mechanical suitcase that Sam carried. Sam smirked and said "Please, call me Sam and I'll show you". Sam picked up the bag and attached to his back. The mechanical bag opened and two large metallic wings sprouted from behind Sam while two miniature machine guns attached themselves to Sam's hips.

"Whoa, sweet tech man, how fast and how high can you go?" Stiles asked the man. Sam shrugged and said "I'm not sure, I used to have an older suit but that got destroyed during the Battle of Washington, Stark hooked me up with this new prototype that's supposed to be faster and more durable but I've yet to test it out".

Stiles said "You two should come flying with Vision, Wanda and I sometime, we usually practice combat maneuvers up in the sky and we'd love to have another person". Once they were finished talking to the two New Avengers, the trio headed up to their rooms. On the way there, Pietro asked a question that the three had been discussing for a few days now.

"Are we still on for tonight?" he asked the two. "Yeah, it should be fun" Stiles answered keeping his voice low. Today was Saturday and the trio had been planning on having a night out after their classes. They didn't exactly enlighten Steve and Natasha to their plans as they were sure they would have disapproved. Besides what harm was one night of harmless fun going to do.

That Night

Once they were sure that the coast was clear, the trio sneaked through the facility and into one of the cars. There were a few issues with the vehicle due to the fact that it was security protected but one zap from Stiles and they were heading towards the city. Once they arrived they got out of the car which prompted Stiles to activate the vehicle's cloaking device. Stiles would later deny that he nearly fainted in awe at the sight of the car turning invisible.

The trio chose the first club they saw. It appeared to be exclusive and their was a long line heading into it. When they got to the front, the bouncer asked to see their ID's. The bouncer's eyes widened when he saw their names. "Right this way, please" the bouncer said waving them through. When they were inside, Stiles said "Wow, being a celebrity has its perks, I thought for sure that he wasn't going to let me in because I'm seventeen". Wanda said "Bah, from what I've read about American celebrities, what you're are doing is considered pretty tame".

The trio got drinks and once they had a pleasant buzz going they headed out to the dance floor and started dancing to the loud music. After a good solid hour of dancing, Stiles headed towards the bar to order some more drinks. As he waited Stiles looked around and saw Pietro chatting up two girls who were charmed by his accent. Wanda too was in a similar position as a few guys tried to flirt with her. Sadly for them though, the brunette had eyes for a certain blonde star-spangled Avenger.

"Beautiful evening is it not" an voice said. Stiles looked to his right and saw a beautiful tanned brunette talking to him. Stiles calmed his heart at the joyful fact that an attractive girl was actually talking to him. "Well it just got more beautiful" Stiles said hoping his line wasn't to cliche. Apparently she thought so because they next thing she said was "Cheesy line, but nice nonetheless".

Stiles smiled and held out his hand for her to shake. "Stiles Stilinski, and you are?" he asked. "Lily Veron, if I may ask, what kind of a name is Stiles Stilinski?" she asked him seeming genuinely curious. "My first name is embarrassing and not something I say out loud if I can help it, seemed like a great idea when I was younger, so anyway what are doing in the city that never sleeps" he asked her.

"University student, I decided to stay and work here over the summer, it's a lot cheaper than flying back home, I wanted a night out to have some fun" she replied smoothly. "Well in that case on behalf of America, may I buy you a drink to show our nation's hospitality?" he asked in a flirting tone. She chuckled and said "You're cute and funny but I wouldn't say no to a drink". Stiles and Lily spent the next half-hour chatting.

Finally, Lily said "Wanna get out of here, my apartment is only a few blocks down the road, surely you wouldn't let a lady walk home alone and besides maybe we can get another drink and talk some more". She walked off to collect her bag from the cloak room leaving Stiles to ponder her invitation.

Stiles wasn't stupid, he knew by her tone that she was suggesting a lot more than just a drink. He couldn't deny that he was severely tempted but he held himself back. He wasn't sure what the situation with Derek was. "I mean, am I gay or straight" thought Stiles. He still found women attractive but at the same time he did sometimes check out a few guys, especially Derek who was a living embodiment of sex on legs. Finally Stiles came to a conclusion that he'd never know if he didn't try it out.

He reached into the link and had a quick conversation with his siblings. "Are you sure you're ready for this Stiles? I know we agreed to a night of fun but this is a big step for anyone in the world" Wanda thought to her brother. "Relax Wanda and give Stiles a break, besides if she has any sense she'll toss him out on the curb before their even halfway through" Pietro thought which caused Stiles to sent him a mental image of a fist with the middle finger raised.

"But in all seriousness, Just remember to use protection, don't get nervous and you'll do fine" Pietro thought to Stiles. Stiles shuddered at that thought. A week into their training, Natasha had Steve give them the talk on how to use the contraceptives that their field kits provided. Stiles knew that the super-spy had taken great delight in making Steve squirm when he explained the use of condoms.

Stiles thanked the two and cut off the link just as Lily reappeared. "So, am I going home alone?" she asked. "Not a chance" Stiles replied and the two walked off.

Back at the Facility

Wanda made her own way back to the facility by using the autopilot system on the car. After Stiles had went off with Lily, Pietro had scored himself a night with a blonde girl. Knowing her brother, he would be bragging about it for days. Seeing as how one of her brothers could fly and the other one could run back to the facility in seconds she saw little need to wait for them.

She knew that there was a good chance that the agents at the facility knew that there vehicle had been stolen/borrowed. "Still though it had been nice to get out from the facility and let lose for a bit" she thought. She took off her heels and headed to the kitchen area to pour herself some coffee. She had developed a craving for the caffeinated drink ever since Stiles had introduced her to it.

She was just pouring a cup when she sensed a presence coming towards her. Knowing that it was too late to sneak off to her room, Wanda walked over to the table and sipped her drink. Steve stepped into the kitchen and did a double take as he saw Wanda sitting there with her hair and makeup done up the last.

"Hi... Hi Wanda, didn't think anybody was up" Steve said while nervously trying not to look at the way in which Wanda's dress hugged her curves and emphasized her "assets". Wanda smiled and said "Hello Steve, just got in and decided to get a coffee before heading to bed". Steve nodded and replied "Well if that's it, I'll just leave you to it then".

Steve got a bottle of water and made to leave the kitchen when he heard Wanda say "You can stay if you want, I don't mind". Steve internally smiled and sat down near Wanda. "So how are you liking the facility so far" he asked trying to make conversation. Wanda shrugged her shoulders and replied "It's alright, I could do without the aches and pains I get from sparring with Agent Romanoff when she trains us".

Steve nodded in understanding. "Yeah, Natasha is a tough one but her hearts in the right place". Wanda looked down before asking shyly "Are you and her... um... together?". Steve blushed and said "No, no, no, she's like a sister to me, albeit a sister who continuously tries to set me up on dates but nothing romantic, ever". Wanda smiled, secretly pleased.

"Dates?, I would have thought that the great and heroic Captain America would have no problem attracting women" Wanda said jokingly. It was apparently the wrong thing to say as Steve's eyes were cast downwards. "Yeah no trouble at all" Steve said sighing.

Noticing Steve's discomfort, Wanda said "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you". Steve waved his hand dismissively and said "It's not you it's just everyone else" he told her. Wanda was curious now. "What do you mean everyone else?" she asked.

Steve was hesitant before answering "Nothing it's just that everyone expects me to be the noble and strong Captain America, the man who rescues cats from trees, the guy that represents all of America and her ideals, the symbol for all that is good in the world, few people look past that image and see just plain old Steve Rodgers, broken guy who feels completely out of place in this new world" he told her honestly. Steve didn't know why he told all of this to Wanda but there was something about her that made Steve want to trust her.

Wanda nodded in understanding and replied "I know how you feel, every day I walk down the corridors of this facility and people point and whisper about me and my brothers like they think I can't notice or hear them, they think I'm going to turn rogue at any minute, that I'm going to hex their little minds into oblivion, they think I should be locked up far away from people for everyone's else's safety, only difference is that I at least have Pietro and Stiles whereas you...".

Wanda trailed off, thinking about the memories that she'd seen in Steve's head in Wakanda about the woman who Steve loved back in the forties, Peggy Carter. The woman who Steve had been forced to leave behind and was now was a frail old woman who had moved on with her life while Steve had been asleep. She knew that Steve felt like he'd been left behind and the super-soldier tried to make up for this by immersing himself in work to dull the pain of the loss he felt.

Steve looked down and drunk the rest of his bottle. He wanted to ask Wanda something but he felt it might be too personal. "Wanda, why did you and your brother... uh " Steve began but shut down feeling flustered. "Volunteer for HYDRA and then join Ultron?" she guessed. Steve nodded slowly.

Wanda sighed and said "Because of our parents and Stark". Steve was confused and asked "Stark?". Wanda nodded. "You've read the report on our parents death, haven't you? how a shell hit our building and killed them?" she told him. Steve nodded and gestured for her to continue.

Wanda took a deep breath before saying "We were having dinner, it was an ordinary day despite the war happening all around us, Father had just come home from work which was a miracle in an of itself given the fact that any person could be shot dead while walking through the streets, Mother had made us her broth which was an old family recipe, we were just an ordinary family enjoying dinner, I looked up at my parents just in time to see the wall behind them blow up" she said, struggling to continue. Steve was struck dumb as he realized that besides her brothers, he was probably the only person that she had ever told this story to.

Wanda continued on "I remember being thrown across the room by the force of the blast, there was a ringing in my ears, I tried to get up and look around the room for my family but the whole room was covered in dust, the floor was shaking underneath, it just about to give way when Pietro rushed in front of me and dragged me towards the bedroom, Once we got there Pietro shoved us both under the bed just as the apartment collapses around us".

"We were lying underneath the bed when we heard another blast and a bomb landed right in front of us only it didn't go off, it lay only few feet away, we knew our parents were dead at this point so we thought that now we would be joining them soon, while we waited and waited we studied the label on the bomb over and over again, the label said STARK, when we were rescued after three days, we kept repeating the name in our heads again and again until it became an obsession, an obsession which grew into hatred and a burning desire to seek revenge" she told him.

Steve couldn't help but feel both saddened and honored that Wanda had shared this information with him. "So that's why you volunteered for the experiments" He concluded. Wanda nodded and said "He promised to give us the power to defend our country and have our revenge on Stark, when I saw Stark for the first time in Sokovia, I wanted nothing more than to tear him apart, but I stopped myself, instead I realized that I wanted Stark to know how it felt to watch his loved ones die, to feel the pain that my brother and I felt, to completely self destruct and go insane and well the rest is history" she finished looking at Steve for a reaction.

Steve shook his head and said "You've seen the inside of my head Wanda, you know about Peggy". Wanda nodded and replied "The woman you loved but can now never have". Steve said "That's right, she and the rest of the world moved on and I was left stuck in a century were everyone I knew was dead, where people talk strange and use strange devices that would have been unthinkable back in the forties".

Wanda gave a grim smile and said "I guess we're both damaged in similar ways, the both of us ripped away from the lives we knew and loved and thrust into worlds were making it through the day is a hard challenge when we are mourning for the those we've lost". Steve shared her grim smile.

"What a damaged pair we make" he chuckled with dark humor. Wanda was silent before reaching over and taking Steve's face in her hands. "But, maybe we can be damaged together and then maybe it wouldn't seem so bad at all" she said before placing a soft kiss on Steve's lips. Steve deepened the kiss and the two shared the connection for a minute before pulling back.

Wanda smiled gently and said "Goodnight Mr Rodgers" before walking out of the kitchen. She was almost at her room when she turned and saw Steve walking up to her. Steve stopped and asked "Ms Maximoff, would you do me the honor of accompanying me to dinner tomorrow night". Wanda smiled while internally cheering. "I would be delighted to Mr Rodgers" she replied.

Steve smiled and said "Would seven be alright for you?". Wanda nodded and said "Seven would be fine". "Good it's a date" he told her and the two parted ways. Steve went to bed that night feeling much happier and lighter than he had been in ages.

Next Morning

Stiles woke up and slightly panicked before he remembered the previous nights events. He couldn't help but feel giddy at memory of finally loosing his V card to Lily. "I am so texting Scott about this when I get back to HQ" thought Stiles. He found his clothes scattered on the ground and got dressed. He stepped out of the bedroom and walked into the kitchen. On the way he spotted a few photos hanging up. There was one of a much younger Lily sitting in the lap of a man who had a lot of tattoos on his neck and arms, had long dark hair, a mustache and tan skin. Stiles couldn't help but think that he'd seen the man somewhere before.

Stiles found Lily in the kitchen wearing a robe. She smiled sweetly when she saw Stiles. "Late night Mr Stilinksi" she asked. Stiles smirked back and said "You know it, Ms Veron". Lily pushed a cup of tea near Stilinski and said "For you, don't worry I haven't poisoned it, if I had I'm pretty sure the female population would lynch me for daring to harm an Avenger". Stiles smiled but still discreetly zapped the contents to dispel any foreign substances. "Rule No. 1, never take a substance from an unknown person" his inner Natasha said although his inner Natasha was also berating him for going home with someone who was a complete stranger.

Lily took a sip of her own tea before saying "So Stiles, I bet you're wondering why I haven't kicked you out yet". Stiles shrugged and replied "It couldn't be my charming presence and nice personality could it?".

"Not exactly no, but I'll not deny, you're presence was very much appreciated last night" she said seductively. Stiles smiled smugly, feeling proud of himself. Who knew that Natasha's lessons on self-control and endurance would pay off. Given the responses he'd gotten he'd definitely had done quite a few things right. Lily continued on. "Since, I'm usually so busy with my summertime work, I propose we have an arrangement of sorts were we help each other out with each other's needs, no strings attached, what do you say?".

Stiles was quite shocked. He went from being a virgin to being offered a constant supply of sex whenever he wanted. He ignored the part of his brain that was telling him that this was bad idea and told himself that this could be a good thing. "Well how can I say no to an offer like that" he said. Once they had the arrangement sorted out Lily let Stiles out of her apartment building with a kiss and wave goodbye. Stiles rang Pietro who was heading back towards the facility. The two met up and flew/ran back together.

Lily walked into her apartment and shut the door behind her. Feeling a presence, she turned around and saw Deaucalion sitting there with Kali. "How goes the plan Lyla?" Deaucalion asked. "Pretty well, honestly teenage boys are very easy to manipulate, just drop sex into a conversation and they're are putty in one's hands" Lily or Lyla answered in a different, more accented voice. "Very good, be ready to strike when the time comes dear" he told her.

Lyla nodded then looked a bit downcast. "Something the matter?" Kali asked. Lyla sighed and said "Are you sure we have to kill him?, He seemed harmless enough and not a bad lay either". Deaucalion turned serious "Cast aside your feelings Ms Vanko, you will do what is necessary" he growled.

Lyla's eyes narrowed dangerously and she growled back "Do not mistake me for one of your mongrels Deaucalion, you came to me remember". Kali roared and charged Lyla saying "How dare you say that you little bit..." but was cut off when Lyla raised her hand and fired a stream of electricity into her chest which caused her to drop down to the floor and scream in agony.

Lyla stood over her twitching form and said "The next time you try something like that, I'll disintegrate you, do you understand bitch". Deaucalion shot to his feet and roared "Enough". Lyla turned away and said to Deaucalion "I'll do my part just as long as you pay up, do that and we won't have any problems".

Once the Alpha pair left, Lyla walked down her hallway and stopped noticing that one of her pictures had been disturbed. It was the one of her sitting on her father's lap. "There you go father, rest in hell" she said to the picture of her being held by Ivan Vanko.

Stiles and Pietro crept into the facility quietly trying to avoid detection. They were almost to their rooms when they heard Natasha's voice. "Taking a designated vehicle without permission, intoxication in public and intoxication of a minor, well I guess the party's over huh boys" she said from behind them.

Stiles and Pietro groaned. "Look we can explain Agent Romanoff..." Stiles began but Natasha cut him by saying "Assuming that those things did happen, I can assure you that the both of you would get kicked out of here faster than you can say Avengers, since they didn't, I can safely say you're free to go, you were saying Mr Stilinski?".

Stiles laughing internally at the superspy's crafty wording replied "Nothing Agent" Natasha nodded and said "I thought so, good day boys oh and Mr Stilinski, congratulations". She indicated Stiles's shoulder and walked off wearing a smirk. Stiles was confused and looked in the mirror. He lifted up the collar of his shirt and saw a small purple hickey. "What the... how the hell did she know that was there?" he asked himself. Stiles turned to Pietro and said "I told you she has x-ray Vision".

Two Months Later

Natasha stared at wall while waiting for Steve to finish saying goodbye to Thor and Tony. "You wanna keep staring at the wall, I mean its a pretty interesting wall" Steve said jokingly. Natasha walked towards Steve saying "I thought you and Stark were still gazing into each other's eyes, how do we look?" she asked taking the I-Pad that Steve offered her.

The pair walked towards the garage where they're teammates were waiting. "Well we're not the twenty seven Yankees" Steve told her. "We've got some hitters" Natasha argued. "They're good" Steve agreed and then said "But they're not a team". Natasha and Steve reached the door and she said "Let's beat em into shape". With that that the two walked in to see the New Avengers.

War Machine AKA Colonel Rhodey's face-plate slid up to acknowledge the two. Vision turned around to study the pair. The Falcon AKA Sam Wilson flew down to the ground folding his mechanical wings behind him. Wanda floated down to the ground letting the hex energy supporting her dissipate, her new red themed combat uniform emphasizing her new codename. The Scarlet Witch. Pietro blurred in wearing what looked like an armored, inner blue, outer black tracksuit with a single silver lightning bolt symbolizing his new codename, Quicksilver. Stiles stepped up looking expectantly at the two wearing a black sleeveless trenchcoat with a dark violet centre, a pair of black and violet gloves with wrist bracers, black combat pants and boots. Steve smiled proudly and said "Avengers, As...".

Stiles tuned him out as he thought back to the decision of his own codename. Though he had been heavily sedated he still remembered Strucker's words. "You shall bring the chaos the Winter Soldier never could". Stiles knew that Strucker was right but unlike what Strucker or anyone else who crossed in his path he'd bring them down with the very weapon he'd been created to be. From now on, the world of evil would fear the wrath of Chaos AKA Genim "Stiles" Stilinski.

Author's Note: If you want clear idea of Pietro's costume, look at at the image for Marvel Wiki Page: Pietro Lensherr of Earth (1610), I think it looks awesome.

Also, Lyla is the daughter of Iron Man 2 villian Ivan Vanko AKA Whiplash. Her codename is Lady Whiplash.

Up next we'll be returning to Beacon Hills.

Also, let me know what you think of Wanda/Steve in the reviews. Thanks.
