"Hello miss Maximoff"
Michael looked over to the heavily pregnant young woman and found himself rather deadpanned when her gaze met his own from across the room.
"Who are you? how did you get in here? wait are those wings?!" Wanda found herself stepping back and eventually catching her back against the wall as she watched the being infront of her as he took a step closer to her, he pushed his wings against his side and sighed as he watched the fear slowly creep into her eyes.
"I will not harm you Miss Maximoff, I am here to protect you and your unborn child" he looked intently at her before lowering his gaze to the rather large bump.
"There are beings in the world that would like to see that child destroyed" he gestured towards her stomach and Wanda couldn't help but cock an eyebrow at him.
"Who wants to harm the baby? if it's something as simple as giving it up then by all means, take it..." she held her hands around the side of her abdomen as though hoping the bump would just pop off, so she could finally be rid with the burden of carrying an unwanted child.
Michael couldn't help but notice her demeanor as she held out her bump as though it was an item that she could give away "I'm sorry, but I also cannot allow that to happen, for the sake of humanity, the child needs to live"
Wanda watched as the winged creature replied in a more robotic tone and changed her stance into a more fight mode as she replied "Why do I have to have this child? why is it that when I am ready to let go, to give it up and give up my life along with it that I get a winged being tell me that my child will save humanity! How could a child brought from such an evil circumstance be a saviour!? This child is nothing but a constant reminder of the evil that happened!" Wanda's reply left Michael stuck for words, she was so enthralled that she hadn't noticed her brother and the elderly couple come in.
"Wanda honey are you ok?" Steve seemed to strive forward, placing a protective arm around Wanda and shielded her from the being. "Hello, I'm Cap. Roger's, I'm sorry but I didnt catch your name, race, reasons for visiting..?" Michael watched the elderly man infront of him before giving a rather exhausted reply.
"My name is Michael, I have been sent here with orders to destroy the unborn child within Miss Maximoffs womb, but I do not wish to go through with the order.. that childs death would signify the end of humanity" Michael glanced over to Wanda and watched as a figure raced towards her side, running a lot faster than a normal human could have and raised a curious eyebrow at the elder Maximoff twin who glared at him in return.
"Wanda, let's go in the kitchen and have a nice cuppa, while Steve sorts this out ok pet?" Peggy strolled over and took Wanda's hand in hers and placed a rather odd looking shield in Steve's hands before walking away from the situation with the young mother-to-be in tow.
Steve and Pietro watched as Wanda and Peggy left for the kitchen before returning their gaze to the winged man infront of them "So tell me, why does my sister need to be protected? Who would want to kill an unborn child?" Pietro had heard his sisters heated conversation when he came in, he had always guessed that the child was conceived under questionable circumstances but never found the heart to ask Wanda about it, fearing that it would break her to reveal it, he couldn't help but glance down to the floor as his head flooded with images of his sister in pain, and now knowing that she really didnt want the child just made it a lot harder.
Steve noticed Pietros demeanor change and put a reassuring hand on his shoulder before turning to Michael, awaiting his reply.
Michael watched and couldn't help but reveal a sad sigh escape his lips, he knew what the younger Maximoff twin had gone through, for some strange reason he could feel everything that she felt when she was scolding him, pleading for the fetus to be taken from her "God wants to start an armageddon that will end humanity, but that child is a signal to ignite and unite humanity against him, and thus I was sent with the mission to kill the child before it was born. I dont agree with my creator and so... here we are" he held his arms up in gesture before gazing down at the shield that was set before him.
"I heard a tale once, that Earth had mighty heroes that would protect it from such attacks, in one of those tales I had heard about a man who bore a shield made from the toughest metals and had inhuman strength... I'm guessing that the Cap would refer to Captain?" Michael watched Steve's expression change, as though he were reliving his past, glorious days.
"That's all a myth, if the Earth had heroes then Sokovia would have been saved! My sister would never have been-!" Petro stopped himself from finishing his sentence as Wanda and Peggy walked back into the room, holding a mug of tea.
"Alright everyone, I think it's time we all sat down and took our time to discuss and understand our situation" Peggy sat Wanda down gently and gestured for everyone else to do the same before she stood in the middle of the room, took a breath and explained hers and Steve's past.
"Steve was an avenger, he was a part of a team of enhanced beings and they did save the World on a numerous occasions from beings, but after the great war, he hung up his shield and came home to me.." she glanced over at Steve and shot him a loving smile as she remembered their reunion "I worked as an agent for S.H.I.E.L.D. we were a defense unit that helped with enhanced humans, but not to the same degree as Steve, however once the great war was over, the group disbanded as they were no longer necessary.." she looked over at Wanda and Pietro and let out a sad smile "When Sokovia was hit with bombs, it was already too late for the avengers to help, we figured that having avengers who resembled old age pensioners would have probably put the World at an even weaker stand point... so instead we decided to go and help clean up the mess like civillians and that's how we found you two" Peggy looked over at Pietro and couldn't help but evade his gaze as she felt so at loss over what happened to the Maximoff twins, nobody should have experienced what they had and she couldn't help but feel bad for them.
"Do I have to keep the child? Honestly I would rather give it away... I'll birth it, but after that, I want it gone.. saviour to humanity or not.." Wanda kept her head to the ground as though she was pushing a hole into the floor, she was adamant that she would not lift her gaze, she will not allow Pietro to feel sorry for her and she will not let him see the pain in her face as se spoke the words.
"I am merely here to ensure that the child is born, once it has a chance at a future then I will no longer be needed, I doubt it will matter who brings the child up so long as it gets the chance to be brought up" Michael replied rather softly at the young girl before him, he watched her concentration and couldn't help but notice the small red flicker that passed through her eyes.
"interesting.. " he thought to himself, "There might be more to the story than he was letting on"
and thus Chapter 3 is done!
