"You wanted to see me." The two men rise from behind the desk they had been at. "Yes" both say simultaneously. She remains quiet waiting for them to speak. "You have been a great asset to me and the team. But he says he could use you to back up The Avengers" Coulson says. "They won't know the connection between you and SHIELD, that it still exists and he is still alive" Fury tells her. "None of them are stupid, they will figure it out. And how am I to join them without support or anyone vouching for me?" She inquires. "I will introduce you and recommend you join them, but again none of them know about SHIELD still being operational. I would prefer it this way." She nods at Fury's reiteration. "Oh and Rachel, I haven't forgot, we will still help you get home one day" Fury adds. "I haven't forgotten" she replies without turning around.


She enters the room followed by the team and their leader. Tony and Steve are the first to get up from their chairs. She forces them to sit down. "We thought you were dead?" Rachel slightly turns her head; to the man behind her. "That isn't the issue here. And I know that all of you must feel betrayed; some more than others" Coulson speaks behind her. Fury keeping quiet as usual. As the other members of Coulson's team look around in wonder, save Mai.

"We have come to leave this woman in your care. We have heard that there are certain things that are happening. And specific items all of you are searching for; she can help with that. This is Rachel Summers-Maximoff. Or Phoenix or Powerhouse, which wherever you would like to use." The Avengers take in the red head. Clint and Thor approach her. "Hello, Rachel." "Clint, Thor." 'I didn't know that I was a dirty little secret.' 'Well, you know, in this line of business, it is better that way.' 'Not even, Natasha?' 'She wouldn't hold it against me.'

She turns to their apparent leader; picking up the thoughts that surface to the forefront of his mind. Before turning to look at the one they revolve around; who happens to be standing next to him. "Do you really think it is wise to keep secrets. That secret has long lasting repercussions. You may think he is worth it; but Stark deserves to know." No sooner does she tell the blonde this; then she is able to pick up Stark's. 'Well, this is interesting and dangerous; they have secrets all around. Secrets that could destroy themselves from the inside out. I think it was a good idea; Coulson and Fury are leaving me here. I take back the initial resentment.'


She keeps up with the jeep. "I am sensing two people approaching. One of them is…" She quickly takes off the way the threat is coming from. "Well, I guess, we are on our own. What was Fury thinking, giving us another former agent? Not to mention another red headed female" Tony gets out. The others choosing to ignore him; focusing on what they are doing.

She lets her left foot soundlessly touch the ground just as Hawkeye is ambushed; knocked to the ground by the wind that comes out of nowhere, which almost immediately reveals the man she had sensed. At which she makes her move, immobilizing the man before he can leave. Putting just enough of her energy as and for momentum to knock him senseless just long enough.

She hears the feminine voice calling out for the man. Not wishing to harm either one of them permanently; she nears him hovering in the air before grabbing the collar of his clothing. Never breaking eye contact as he struggles to break free and her eyes change color, due to the energy she is exerting. She can feel the other woman try to enter her mind with her ability; though the distance while not very far, is far enough for the exhibition to be pointless.

"If you want your brother returned safely, you will back off. And be willing to listen to us, there is much you don't know, Wanda. You aren't the only telekinetic here." She takes the silence as the answer she had been expecting. The rest of the team waiting unsure what to do with this development. She releases her hold, letting Pietro fall. She doesn't bother to catch him, knowing Wanda will do it; though this doesn't stop the trepidation from flooding Pietro.

Wanda stares at her in confusion, as Pietro slowly opens his eyes realizing nothing is broken. He glances at her for a moment, before the twins are gone. "Great, you let them go, Rachel. You do know that they are still going to go against us and we don't know the extent of their abilities yet" Tony says. "Rachel?" Steve adds. She causes them to rise before moving forward toward the castle that is their target. "it is alright. I have placed enough doubt in them and after what is to come; they will realize we aren't their enemies. I have seen just enough of what is to come" she answers. 'Being near enough to Wanda has made this possible.'


He stops moving once they have reached their destination. Both knowing that the Avengers are still on their way. He puts his sister down watching her as he has always done when he starts speaking as the doubt becomes evident, "she didn't kill us. She had the opportunity to as well as giving the others the chance to as well, yet she stood by with a mere warning of caution. What if they aren't our enemies, Wanda?" "Don't be ridiculous, Pietro. It is a trick; don't forget what Stark has done" she answers. "But what if it isn't?" "Come, the doctor is waiting for us" she keeps moving leaving the rest unspoken. Knowing that the other woman unintentionally trying to turn her brother's head just enough of a sign to keep on their current course. He dutifully follows her; leaving their difference of opinion to the back of their minds for the time being.


Rachel and the others enter the castle. "Rachel, you will keep us linked right?" "Of course, did you really think I was put on this team; even if momentarily to merely be a decoration?! Please, Rogers?! And here I thought you were supposed to be smarter than this?!" Tony's slight chuckle is heard. "Well, okay then." Each split up. Rachel making her way to the center; waiting for the sows of doubt to begin to find a foothold.

Unmasking herself; as Wanda manipulates Tony. Seeing Pietro moving before Wanda stops him. The three watching as Stark goes for the scepter. "Well, tell me did you enjoy that?" The twins are about to bolt. "You have nothing to fear from me." "And we should trust you; with what you did earlier?" "It is complicated. You are still a child, Wanda. There are things at play you don't know about." "She did let us go, like I told you earlier. If she had really wanted to imprison us, like the others; she could have already do so. Clearly, her abilities would have made doing so easy."

"I know your problem is with Stark. And while I don't blame you; trust me after finding out the hard way; vengeance and revenge are too high of prices to pay." She sends her history out to them; at the bordering of doubt she senses. Wanda has tears in her eyes and running down her face; as Pietro never loses eye contact with her. "How could you stand it?" "As you say, I had to. And you are some of the few I have let see all the suffering and pain my world had. I know you two. This path you are on isn't something you want. But I also know that you aren't ready to come with us, me."

She starts to move; "wait! You said there are things at play we don't know about; how do you know? Seeing into the future isn't one of your abilities." "The stone in the scepter showed me. And while it will be betraying them and you as well. I know what trying to change history can cause. And it is better not to mettle; no matter how much I wish and want to. Plus, it will lead you on the path of finding someone dear to you, Wanda. As your sister, I would never deprive you of any happiness." "So, it is true and not a mirage given by the stone; that I am married to one as beautiful as you?! He was an idiot and fool to let himself wander." She keeps quiet at this. "I must return and collect them. I have tarried too long. Please keep everything I have shared in mind; and be careful. Our paths will cross again soon."


She is staring out the window; as she sees Odinson approach. "After all the places, we have been Earth is small. However; very few places are as beautiful as this planet," she tells him "You know that being a god has allowed some of us to see so many possibilities. And there is something that Hemidall told me before we left; something that has me wondering," he responds. "Point Break, Rachel; come join us." The two turn to the rest of the Avengers; their conversation pushed to the back of their minds. Neither wishing to explore the possibility of that one future.

Rachel remains standing by Clint as the offer to test who is worthy of Mjolnir occurs. 'Such children. And Steve isn't worthy just like the rest of them. But then again; neither is Thor. Selflessness isn't an attribute they possess. Not even Steve is immune to this.' She turns at picking up the entity's mental essence; right before it appears. The others look on edge.

"Thor, stop!" Rachel gets out. "Tony, what were you thinking?" Steve asks. "He wasn't. But it is okay. This could be used to our advantage." Rachel adds. "Oh yeah, how, Rachel?" Clint asks. "Simple. He will bring the twins to us." "You know more than you are letting on" Natasha says; glaring at her. "Like anyone in this room doesn't have secrets. What is important is how we deal with this? Tony's creation is on the verge of world domination." "Rachel's right. Can you track it?" Steve asks. "I don't need to. There is only one place it would go to; or one person in particular." "Okay, then. Let's suit up. And then we'll meet in the hangar; if Rachel is right. Then we can't waste any time" Steve tells them.


"But you said?" Wanda asks, after recoiling from the chamber holding the Ultron's next and more perfect vessel. "…" "And if they don't?" Pietro asks. Before waiting for a response; he whisks him and his sister away.


She and Tony land near the jet. The wind rushes by her. Turning she sees the twins; just as the others walk off the plane. Nearing them, "I am glad you two are okay." "We should have listened to you. We let our hurt and anger toward Stark blind us. This is my fault. I let him take the scepter." "It isn't all on you, Wanda. What is important that we handle the situation now."

The ground beneath them jolting; before starting to rise, as an armada of robots can be seen leaving the castle. "Rachel?!" "Right." She takes off; circling the island as it continues to rise. "I've linked everyone now. But if we don't hurry; it won't work, Steve." "Stay there and do what you can to contain them; we will do the rest." "Okay." Reaching out she envisions a barricade as a shield materializes around the ascending island. Doing her best to ignore what she is feeling; until his pain surfaces. And the loss of his thoughts disappear; and the psychic scream that follows.

Landing, she sees Pietro faced down on the ground; with Clint passed out not far away. Shutting off her connection; she places Pietro next to Clint. "I will be back for you." She takes off after reading Tony's thoughts. Forcing the pain down until a more appropriate time. Her uniform changing once more from green and yellow; to red and yellow.

Seeing that Tony is struggling; "need help there?!" "You sure are a riot, Red" he quips. "Go. I will handle this." Reaching out, she does what she can to slow the island from continuing its trajectory. The grief and pain become too much; as the scream springs forth. 'I may have mastered my abilities. But having to halt something this huge is a first. I just have to hang on a little further.'


"Is that all of them?" "Tony?" Steve asks. "Rachel is handling it." "From our end then. Go back and check on Rachel." Tony is gone the next moment. Seeing Vision grab Wanda; as he reaches the bottom of the island, to see Rachel starting to fall. The fall causing her to go faster as the wind picks up speed. The thrusters on his suit allowing him to reach her in time. Holding her in his arms; he makes his way back to the others. "Thor."


She is standing against the wall; as Steve and Natasha come in. Her arms folded against her chest. "Avengers…" She doesn't move as the Captain and the Widow run the newcomers through their first training session. Spotting all of their weak spots; and what can be done to counter them. The new additions are laying against the ground; except for Vision as Steve gets closer.

"You know it would have been nice if you were down there." "Maybe later. But for now, I am already part of more than one team; and if I stick around it would only be to help Wanda. She is going to need more training that none of you would be able to give her. And I meant what had said earlier about telling him; it will just end badly if you don't. Well, I better get going. Coulson and the others are no doubt, waiting for my return. I am going to see Pietro before I leave. What you do now; proceed with caution. I will be back to check on Wanda as much as possible." She leaves, in order to catch Fury before he leaves.
