"I've missed this." Danielle told Wanda as they sat together on the couch on a Sunday morning painting each others' nails while watching the morning news.

Wanda watched as Danielle focused on using her powers to precisely work the nail polish brush to paint Wanda's nails a pretty crimson red while she ate cereal with her hands. Multi-tasking really was something Danielle had gotten the hang of when it came to her powers and she honestly missed using them in everyday life. Something she couldn't do at school and refrained to with Sharon as she tried to make living with the CIA agent as normal as possible.

"Me too. I miss having you around to help me escape around here." Wanda admit as she used her free hand to take a sip of the chamomile tea she had made herself when they first woke up.

"Escape?" Danielle repeated as she took her eyes off the nail polish, but it continuing to move across Wanda's nails with ease. She really was getting good.

Wanda sighed. "Believe it or not, it gets kind of suffocating around here. Vis is teaching me how to control my telepathy better, which usually ends up with me getting a migraine the next day or the rest of the compound hearing loud ringing noises for ten minutes. Jack is constantly pestering me about whether or not he should apply to MIT like Tony wants him to. Steve and Natasha have been training me on using my powers while in hand-to-hand combat. And Sam and Rhodes have been teaching me to fly with the help of Vision."

Danielle nearly choked on her Fruity Pebbles. "You can fly?"

"More like levitate using my powers." She corrected. "I'm sure if you used your powers, you'd be able to just walk ten feet above the ground." Danielle shrugged, maybe. "You'll probably be forced into learning soon. You're stuck here for a week and I know Steve isn't going to just let you sit around doing nothing during Thanksgiving Break."

Danielle nodded. "But I'd be happy to help you with flying. It sounds fun."

Wanda chuckled drily. "It's not." She assured her.

"Wanda," A new voice said, causing Danielle to jump and loose focus on the nail polish hovering the air. Danielle jumped up slightly and the container dropped onto the white couch.

Wanda's red telekinetic power quickly caught it before it spilt and set it on the table before she turned to look up at the intruder. "Vis, you can't just faze through walls like that and scare us." She scolded.

"My apologies." The android replied. "I've just come to inform the two of you that training starts in an hour."

"For both of us?" Danielle asked. Vision nodded.

"Well, that gives us an hour to make coffee and cook a decent breakfast for the rest of the team." Wanda chimed as she stood up from the couch.

"But I'm not done with your nails yet. They still need the top coat." Danielle protested as she stood up and followed Wanda to the kitchen.

Wanda shrugged. "We can finish it later. Right now I want some pancakes."

Danielle set her empty bowl of cereal into the sink quickly stopped Wanda from grabbing anything in the kitchen. "Your nails still need to dry."

"Aw, you're right." She grumbled before looking up to Vision. "Vis, do you mind helping us make breakfast?"

Vision looked hesitant. "Um, I'm not sure how to...cook."

"Just follow our instructions. It's easy." Danielle assured him as he crossed over.

The rest of the one hour they had before training was spent making pancakes, eggs, bacon, hash browns, and sausage in the kitchen. Danielle mastered flipping the pancakes with her powers while Wanda made sure the eggs were scrambled thoroughly and the hash browns were cooked properly by using her powers, trying not to mess up her nails. Meanwhile, Vision struggled to make the bacon and sausage and had to have assistance rom the two girls on multiple occassions. As everyone got the hang of the cooking, their attention fell slightly on the TV where Breaking News flashed across the screen.

"American Senator, George Ryan, has been assisinated in Vienna, Austria while visiting the UN meeting being held there." The anchor woman on the screen explained. "Authorities say someone from a building across the steeet from the American Embassy shot him with a long range sniper rifle. The attack was obviously planned and Interpol still has no suspects or leads on who fired the shot..."

"You think it might have been HYDRA?" Danielle murders softly to Wanda as they watched the news.

"It is a possibility that HYDRA may have assassinated the Senator, but they have no real reason to kill him. There seem to be no signs of him being apart of the organization, neither any other SHIELD related organization." Vision chimed in from where he stood by the stove.

"You think whoever did this did it to get attention?" Wanda asked.

"Or they were just a normal assassin who was hired to do a job." Vision replied. "I'm sure you have nothing to fear about HYDRA ever capturing you again, Wanda and Danielle." He assured the two obviously on edge girls.

"Thanks, Vision." Danielle replied before she turned back to making the coffee, but her attention remained on the Breaking News segment as it continued to cover the assassination. She couldn't calm her nerves for long when Steve, Sam, Rhodey, and Natasha walked into the room one by one. "Morning." She chimed happily.

They all returned the 'good morning' as they all grabbed mugs from the cupboards for Danielle to pour them coffee one by one before going to take seats at the dining room table. Natasha groaned as she turned her attention to the TV. "More problems for us to solve."

Sam narrowed his eyes at the former assassin. "It's just an assissination. Isn't that an Interpol, CIA, FBI kind of problem?"

"Not if this assassin has been popping up continuously." Rhodey answered for Natasha as he sat down beside them.

"Who is it?" Steve asked. Danielle couldn't help but listen in as they talked while she served up the breakfast.

"I recognize the M.O and weapon." Natasha said. "They call her the Silencer."

"'Her'?" Sam repeated and Natasha nodded.

"She from where you came from?" Rhodey asked.

"Doubt it. She just now started popping up in the last four years." Nat said.

"Who do you think she works for?" Steve asked.

"HYDRA?" Danielle piped up as she slid everyone their plates. Everyone in the room could clearly hear the fear in her voice as she asked.

"Like I said," Vision spoke from behind her. "It's a very unlikely chance."

Danielle nodded before going back to the kitchen to serve some pancakes onto a plate for when Jack would wake up. "But there is still a chance." Steve said. Everyone turned to look at him. "Whoever's doing this could still work for HYDRA. We may have taken down the larger bases, but we haven't taken down the stragglers. Other loyal agents who could be building up the agency underground."

"Like who?" Wanda asked.

"We never did catch that Rumlow guy." Sam said.

"Rumlow's an agent, not an assassin." Natasha said.

"Maybe he hired whoever this is." Rhodey reasoned.

"Guys, can we please not talk about assassins at brunch." Jack muttered as he dragged his feet into the dining room. He was wearing his pajamas still and has a bed head as he picked up a mug and took the plate of breakfast Danielle handed him. "Thanks, sis."

"Sleep well?" She chuckled as she tried to flatten out the tangled mess on her brother's head.

"Better than ever." He smiled before turning to take a seat. "She joining us for training?"

"She offered to help me." Wanda exclaimed.

Vision turned to look at Danielle. "Your power is a more amplified version of Wanda's. Perhaps it would help her if you were present in her training."

Danielle perked up. "When do we start?"


"Alright, now before you lift yourself, you have to be able to lift another person." Vision explained. "Captain Rogers volunteered for this."

Steve was dressed in his full body suit, minus the helmet and shield, as he stood in the training room with Vision, Wanda, Danielle and Jack. Natasha, Sam, and Rhodey were off sparring to the side steali glances at the enhanced training.

"Wanda, you're going to lift Captain Rogers up onto that ledge." Vision pointed to a ledge above the training room.

Wanda swallowed nervously. "And I if drop him?"

"You won't drop him, Wanda. We believe in you." Jack assured her.

Steve gave Wanda a reassuring nod as he braced himself. "Try staying as still as possible." Wanda instructed him as she held her hands out to him. Her red plasma encased her hands and slowly hugged Steve. As her hands moved up to the ledge, so did Steve. But when Steve moved in the slightest, Wanda panicked and he fell.

Before he could hit the ground, Danielle quickly jumped forward and caught him with her powers. She strained herself slightly before setting him on the ground. She turned to Wanda. "Again?"

Steve turned to Wanda. "Sorry, I moved."

"What about a running start?" Jack suggested.

Steve shrugged and walked a few yards back. He looked to Wanda. "Ready?"

Wanda nodded. "On your mark."

Steve kneeled down slightly before launching himself forward. A few seconds in, Wanda used her powers to launch him up. Everyone watched as her red power encased him and flew him up and into the ledge. "You did it!" Danielle cheered as Steve turned to give her a thumbs up.

"I did it." Wanda breathed in awe.

"Now I think you can try to bring him back down." Vision said.

"Oh, right." She said as she turned back to Steve. "Just jump, I'll softened the fall."

"You sure?" Steve asked skeptically.

"If she doesn't, Danielle will." Jack called back.

Steve then shrugged before jumping down. Luckily, Wanda was able to soften the fall like she promised. "Nice work, Maximoff." He told her as he walked over.

"Danielle, Jack, your turn." Vision told the siblings. "Now, Jack's powers are easily projected. And your shields can deflect bullets. I wanted to try something-"

"You're suggesting I shoot my sister with my electric shocks?" Jack cut him off.

"Just a small one. We need to test how much shock you can emmit and how much she can shield." He explained.

Danielle shrugged. "I can handle it." She assured her brother. "Hit me."

"If you say 'with your best shot', I'm gonna punch you." Jack threatened as he ruffled her hair before they ran their separate ways across the room. "Tell me when to start!" He called to her as the rest of the team quickly darted to the ends of the room to watch.

Danielle nodded and braced herself. "Now!" Jack immediately pushed his force in one bolt of shock at first. The yellow lightning strike erupting fr. His chest aimed through his arms and hitting his sister head on. She was easily able to shield it with just her palms held forward. "A little higher?" She suggested over the popping sounds.

Jack then pushed harder as the shocks multiplied and it came at her harder. She slowly strained to shield each time as the power grew more and more, but the more she pushed against the shocks the more the power in her grew. She slowly felt something in her churn and grow. She slammed her eyes shut as she shielded against her brother's powers. When she opened them again, they were glowing yellow. "Eris..." She breathed. She dropped her hands from bracing and stood up straight, but the shields didn't cease, they stood still. Danielle drew her hands up and slammed them forcefully down with a battle cry. Just then, all the power in her was blasted out and into Jack who flew back into the wall behind him. But her power blast didn't stop there.

The cage she was holding Eris in was cracked and this was her reaching out for a breath of air. Danielle cried out as her power stretched throughout the entire training room. The large window behind her blew out as the room shook from the impact. The walls cracked and the floor tiles were shifted. Once she was drained from her eruption, Danielle collapsed onto her knees.

Jack and the rest of the team had seen her unleashed power. Steve, Natasha, Sam, Wanda, Rhodey, and Vision all came rushing in from where they stood behind a glass wall watching them. Vision, Wanda, and Steve went to check on Danielle while the others went to check on Jack who was staggering to his feet to go check on his sister. Jack fell short slightly as he stumbled, his power drained and breath knocked out of him. Sam and Rhodey quickly caught him before he fell on his face and led him to his sister.

"Danielle?" Wanda set a hand on her shoulder.

Danielle flinched and jumped back at the touch. "No! Don't touch me! I'll hurt you!" She cried out as tears spilt from her eyes.

"Hey, Danielle, calm down." Steve tried as Wanda backed down.

Danielle slowly caught her breath and looked around at the room. "What did I do? Where's Jack?"

"I'm right here, Danielle." Jack called out weakly as the rest of the team moved to surround her.

"Mind explaining what the hell all that was?" Sam asked.

Danielle pulled her knees up to her chin. And looked down at the ground. "Oh, God..."

"Dani?" Wanda kneeled down beside her. "Was it her?" Danielle sniffled and nodded.

"Wait, who was who?" Natasha piped up from where she stood beside Rhodey and Vision.

"Eris..." Jack breathed in response.

Rhodey turned to look at Jack with wide eyes. "I thought Eris was Danielle."

Jack pursed his lips and shook his head. "Eris is Danielle's power. The scientists back in Sokovia unlocked Eris each time they experimented and she got out of control like that."

Steve turned to Wanda and Jack. "You've seen this before?"

They both nodded. "Eris...what she did here... It's nothing to what she is truly capable of." Wanda told him.

"And you choose now to finally tell us about that?" Sam asked.

"I-I'm sorry." Danielle stammered.

Vision reached out and set a finger to her forehead. "Her body temperature is rising, Captain."

In that moment, Hill came running in with a few more agents and staff at the Compound. "What happened?" She asked worriedly.

Steve threw her a small glance. "We'll tell you in a minute, but we have to get Danielle to the med bay." He exclaimed as he moved to lift Danielle in his arms. "Bring Jack too."

Sam and Rhodey followed behind them as they carried Jack to the med bay. Wanda moved to go after them, but Natasha stopped her. "Just stay put for now while we get this figured out." She told the enhanced. Wanda nodded as she stayed behind with Vision and Natasha.


When Danielle woke up, she was handcuffed to a hospital bed inside of a sterile room. She knew she was in the Compound because of the field outside the slightly tented window to her left. There was IV stuck in her arm and a couple more wires connected to her body. She took in a deep breath and stirred in her bed.

"You're awake." A familiar voice said from beside her. She turned to see Steve sitting in the chair at her bedside.

Danielle frowned slightly. "How long have I been asleep?"

"You haven't beaten my record," He joked lightly. "But you have been out for four days. It's Thanksgiving."

Danielle smiled slightly. "My mom used to celebrate the holiday with us." She said. "Sorry I ruined it for you."

Steve frowned as he stood from his chair. "You didn't ruin anything."

"Where is everyone?" Sheasked to change the subject.

"Sam went to visit his family, Rhodey went to visit Tony. The rest of the Compound has the day off. It's just Vision, Natasha, Wanda, Jack, you, and I."

"How is Jack?"

"He's fine. He has a bruised rib, but other than that..." He trailed off when he saw her face fall. "Danielle, you didn't do anything-"

"Stop talking." She said simply. "I need you to promise me something." Steve narrowed his eyes at her, but waited for what she had to say. "If I ever lose control... If Eris is ever released, I need you to promise me you'll do whatever it takes to stop her. That if it comes to it and you have the upper hand, you have to destroy her..."

Steve blinked in shock. "Danielle, if I do that, you die with her."

Danielle nodded. "I know." She replied. "Steve, promise me. You have to stop her, even if it means killing me."

"I'm not going to kill you, Danielle." Steve said forcefully.

"You have to. Eris... You've seen only a fraction of what she's capable of. And that's while I'm holding her back. If she's set loose onto the world, she will cause immeasurable damage. You have to stop at her at any and all costs, including ending her and I."

Steve shook his head. "We're not having this discussion."

"I'm a danger to you all, can't you see that?" She exclaimed. "Promise me, Steve. Promise me."

"I can't. I already made a promise to myself that I wouldn't lose another member of this family." He replied.

"She won't give you a choice, Steve." Danielle told him. "You can try to restrain her, control her, get her to be good, but... Her name is Eris for a reason. She's chaotic and full of rage. If you don't kill her, she will kill you and everyone else you love. It's us or everyone." Steve met her eyes as she poured her soul into the warning. "I'm willing to make the sacrifice..are you?"

Steve let that sit. If killing Danielle meant saving everyone else, would he take the shot? Before he knew her, he would have. But now that he had grown to care for the child so much, he wasn't sure. "You don't know if you can't control her yet. I have faith in you. And until that faith's broken, I'm not going to kill you."

Danielle turned away and shook her head. "I don't think she'll give you much of a choice. And we'll both regret it when you don't take the shot." She said angrily as she stood from the bed, the handcuffs holding her down turning to dust as she walked out of the room.


Silencer walked through the rundown building until she reached the main room. It was lit up by a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling and only one person inhabitanted it. And he sat beside the table where all his tools were as he fixed out the kinks of his new suit.

Silencer's entrance went unnoticed until she cleared her throat, grabbing the man's attention. He turned around to look at her, his deformed face cracked a smile. "Alice, what do I owe the pleasure-"

"Save it, Rumlow." She cut him off as she pulled the file out from under her arm and slammed it down onto the table in front of him.

Rumlow looked down at the file set in front of him and frowned slightly. "You got a problem with your new assignment, Silencer?"

"I do. Multiple, actually." She replied simply. "The biggest one being the second picture stapled to the target's file on the third page." Rumlow flipped to where she had said. "Mind explaining who those two other people in the photo are and how they managed to get there?"

Rumlow grimaced and took a deep breath. "Alright, yes, Alice. The kids are connected to Rogers. But all we gotta do is pull him away from them, then take him out. Kids won't even be affect-"

"They have a relationship with him, Rumlow!" She snapped. "I take out Rogers, they come for me. I thought we agreed I stay far away from them? Any of them!"

"Then take them away from him!" Rumlow shouted back. "Tear them out of his grip, do whatever you need to do to get this done, Silencer!"

"No." She said. "I decline the assignment. I want no connection."

Rumlow grit his teeth as he watched Silencer trek out of the room and into the shadows again. He looked down at the file on Steve Rogers again. He would make that asshole pay, one way or another. It didn't matter how he made him suffered, it only mattered that he did suffer at his hand. He wanted him dead, but he needed the Silencer to do it for him so he can continue his work taking down the rest of the Avengers. But the only way to get to the Silencer was to get to the two other people in the photos beside Rogers; Statix and Eris, the two HYDRA enhanced.
