"He drank but finally drowned in his sorrow.
Oh he could not break surface tension
He looked in the wrong place for redemption...
Don't look at me with those eyes
I tried to unheave the ties
Turn back the time that drew him...
But he couldn't be saved.
A sadness runs through him."
A Sadness Runs Through Him by The Hoosiers
Heyyyyyy guys!
I will not be able to update every night.
I promised for a more detailed sandwich war this chapter, so I'll do that. Also, if I mess up, my chair just broke, and the chair i'm using isn't too comfortable. Also, I'm listening to music with iron man headphones on, and if I look to my left *looks low to my left* I see Kaneki. *Looks up higher* THERE'S Iron Man! I also have a Black Widow Tsum Tsum staring at me. I got all of them on the same day! All the Avengers around here make me feel motivated to do some different POV's today! Avengers count: Hulk Funko Pop x2, Black Widow Tsum Tsum, Black Widow Funko Pop, Scarlet Witch Funko Pop, Iron Man figure, and lastly, amazing Iron Man headphones! ONWARD!
Wanda's/ Scarlet Witch's POV
Despite her powers and her teaming up with everyone but Ivory and Pietro, the two against the rest of them were a good team. Pietro threw about 30 sandwiches per second, Ivory multiplying them and throwing them to both Pietro to help him. Wanda ducked behind a couch to multiply about 678 more sandwiches before straining to levitate them all and distribute them to her team. Steve dodged pretty well for being frozen in ice for years. Clint had the best accuracy ever, and even with Steve, Tony, and Natasha constantly running around flailing their arms, he never hit them. He by far had hit Pietro and Ivory the most out of all of them. Wanda looked over at Natasha to see her without a single sandwich on her. She hadn't been hit at all. She jumped onto the arm of the couch and did a backflip to avoid about 30 sandwiches and kicked off the edge of the couch, avoiding more, and landed in the Iron Man pose. She slid back on the tile part of the floor by a few inches before jumping and twisting in midair, throwing sandwiches all the while. Wanda was brought back to reality when she was hit in the face with a sandwich. Pietro smiled before running again. Ivory's eyes turned a royal blue and she multiplied bunches of sandwiches. Wanda's eyes turned crimson red and she did the same as Ivory. They stepped to the edge of the line they'd drawn and threw sandwiches like no tomorrow. Everyone stopped, watching as they twisted and turned to avoid the sandwiches. Halfway through, Ivory turned into a wolf and became excessively evasive, dodging sandwiches and throwing them with some very practiced head swings. Ivory jumped on Wanda and grinned like a human.
"Alright, I'm defeated."
Wanda said, smiling and getting up. All of a sudden, Ivory began growling and her fur stood on end. She bared her teeth, her ears laid back. There was a loud crashing sound and she charged at the door, opening it with her powers and jumping out. There was a growling sound and then...Nothing. She walked in the door with a white wolf by her side. Dumbfounded, they all stared at Ivory and the wolf. There was a flash of white and next to it a flash of black before Ivory and a boy, looking to be 12 or 13, stood side by side. Wanda and Pietro exchanged a glance before stepping forward, side by side.
"It's okay, he's my friend. His name is Kokatsuna."
Ivory said, crossing her arms. Wanda tilted her head at Pietro.
"Is he not your brother?"
Wanda asked, her accent thick. Ivory shook her head.
"But just like my brother. Considering we both have the DNA of all of you, we're technically closely related."
Ivory said, swaying back and forth. Confused, everyone went into their rooms to think about it.
Ivory's/Heather's/The Ivory Wolf's/Yin's POV
Ivory and Kokatsuna sat down and talked for a while. They went through a lot of stuff before Ivory decided to explore. Turning into a wolf, she jumped off the couch. Click, clack. Went her claws on the hardwood floor as she padded away, Kokatsuna by her side. She jumped over the fence and climbed up the tall tree to the second floor, staring down at the living room. Kokatsuna sat at the base of the tree. Smiling, Ivory began to climb down the tall tree, rushing down in bounding leaps, her claws dug into the wood each time her paws hit the ground. Although the tree stood straight up, she climbed down like a squirrel.
"They called us Yin and Yang. I've moved past that though. They call me The Ivory Wolf now."
She said, sitting down. Kokatsuna looked down.
"I was Yang. You were Yin."
He said with a sigh. Serval the Bengal Cat ran across suddenly, jumping over Kokatsuna's head and landing on Ivory's head. He sat down there, watching Kokatsuna. Laughing, Ivory picked him up and set him down on her leg. He curled up there.
"We were good friends. Some said we would be lovers someday, but I was left here before I'd ever know if it was true. So, why are you here?"
She asked, tilting her head. Kokatsuna hesitated.
"I was sent to ask you if you'd like to join HYDRA again. The rest of our kind, they didn't make it."
He said, bracing himself against the punch he knew would come. Ivory nearly strangled him, but she restrained herself. She was the attacker, he was the defender. She was more powerful and with a single hit from her powers she could kill him. She knew how to catch him off guard, which was why she waited.
"I thought you would at least have some gratitude. You could be free! Yet you choose to fiddle with HYDRA and let them break you. No wonder they kept you. You're so loyal you should be a dang dog that loves it's master. Why would you ask if I wanted to pull my life apart at the seams again? I was just sewing it back together after HYDRA wrecked it. I was thinking, maybe, just maybe, we really could've loved each other. I thought, maybe if you joined the Avengers, the world would have peace and balance! But Yin and Yang are opposites. Black and white. Day versus night. If you decide to turn your life around, maybe you can be happy. No, maybe we can be happy. Together."
Ivory snapped, clearly angry. She realized that the quiet talk had turned to a furious yell and that everyone in the house had heard them. They were armed, every last one of them, even dazed Pietro was ready to run and break up the fight. Protective Wanda was ready, poised to attack. She was like a sister to Ivory. Ivory glanced at her, hoping she wouldn't get hurt. Sweet Steve was positioned to fight, his hands shaking but his eyes steely and determined. The rest were cautious. Thor didn't want to kill either of them, Bruce didn't want to turn into The Hulk, Tony wasn't sure if they'd fight or not, and Clint was poised to shoot, his hands betraying the gentle gaze in his eyes. Kokatsuna was caught off guard.
"Well..."
Kokatsuna would never finish his sentence because he would be too scared to remember it. Ivory's hands shot to his neck and she used her knee to dig into his back and shove into the wall. He tried to kick her, but Ivory's hold on his neck only tightened and she dug her nails into his skin. Every time he struggled, her hold grew ever tighter and her nails dug deeper, searching for weak spots to sink into. He finally turned into a wolf and pounced on Ivory, his claws at her throat. He cut deep into her throat before Pietro ran into him and knocked him aside, rendering him useless and hurt. Pietro picked up Ivory and carried her to Wanda, setting her down in front of his sister. She knelt down and touched her face.
"Ivory...I should've known."
She said, regret evident in every part of her body, ranging from her bowed head and the tears in her hair to her feet nudging Ivory slightly. She was unresponsive. The wound seeped blood. Ivory found the strength to get up and went over to Kokatsuna before anyone realized it. She knelt down and picked him up, setting him down before Wanda. Ivory didn't stare at Wanda. Instead, she glared at Pietro.
Pietro's / Quicksilver's POV
Pietro stared at Ivory. She was unhappy. Her grey-eyed gaze literally seemed to speak to him, but he realized it was her powers.
"You hurt him. All that was needed was to stop him and reason with him."
She said in his mind. It wasn't the voice that wrapped around his brain or the way it seemed to catch on his mind and get stuck there or even the way her voice was like a cat's purr wrapped in silk that got him scared. It wasn't even how the gentle voice and calm tone held danger and rage despite the soothing, seductive voice. He was only entranced by those. He knew that the gentle words were only for stopping him from attacking. It was her eyes. The second she finished the words, it was like her eyes unwrapped the silk and safety of her voice from his brain. They held all the sadness, vengeance, anger, and fear from her words and made him think about the words. He knew that was the goal, to make him feel safe and then turn the feeling against him and pull away the words. He struggled to hold on to the words, making Pietro think about them.
"Ivory...I'll make sure Kokatsuna is fine."
Wanda said, her voice quivering.
"Thanks."
Ivory's real voice said. Her voice was delicate and had a serene grace and beauty to it. It wasn't calming or ghostly like the voice in his mind. It had a sharply cut edge on it, and everyone had just cut themselves on that sharp edge. Pietro heard the heavy tone in her voice, like a piece of fine silk caught on a branch and tearing apart, the thin threads of what was left floating in the wind. She was sad and angry, and it wasn't just from Pietro.
Tony's/Iron Man's POV
Tony could only watch as Ivory walked away, her head down. Pietro looked guilty. Wanda went into the bathroom and grabbed the medicine kit. The contents spilled onto the floor. Tony watched as she picked them up and dropped them, so she levitated them over to Kokatsuna. Tony went after Ivory. She turned, and for a second, hope flared in her eyes like a wildfire. The welcoming gaze in her eyes leaped up like a rabbit. When she saw it was Tony, the wildfire in her eyes died down and the leaping rabbit in her eyes was shot out of the air. She look down and walked away, sighing. He tried to grab her, but she dodged. Tony nodded at Clint. He threw an arrow with a tip that would tranquilize Ivory, but Kokatsuna wolf leaped into the way and caught it in between his jaws. He set it down slowly and slowly brought up his head. Clint got another arrow ready to shoot. Only this one would kill you in an instant. It said on it:
"Valuable and rare,
Buyer beware,
For its touch will dwell on in your enemie's veins
And their very life shall be removed from those who have a horrified stare
And their blood being poisoned."
Kokatsuna glared, baring his teeth, his paws far apart, his head bowed, and green eyes looking up. As Clint let go, Ivory jumped in front of the white wolf.
Pietro's/Quicksilver's POV:
Seeing as Pietro wanted Ivory to be on good terms with him, he ran in front of the arrow and grabbed it in midair, the world moving slowly. Pietro gave the arrow Clint and walked over to Ivory and Kokatsuna. There was a flash of white and Ivory was a human once more. Kokatsuna looked up at her before hesitantly turning into a black-haired human again. Her royal blue eyes stared welcomingly into his green ones. Wanda rushed to get them both medical attention.
Wanda's/Scarlet Witch's POV:
She stood in front of Ivory with in her hand, trying to stop the bleeding. It wouldn't stop.
"Damnit you, just stop bleeding!"
She snapped, the gauze soaked with blood. It finally stopped bleeding. She cleaned the wound and then wrapped a bandage around her neck. Ivory was lifeless except for her faint heartbeat, the steady bleeding, and shaky, slow breaths. Kokatsuna was almost untouched. How strange...Wanda entered Ivory's mind to find out why.
I can't hurt him. He's too good a friend...I-I can't do it. I won't hurt him. Just a bit. Ivory's thoughts were...Interesting. She saw that now. Wanda now knew how close he was to her, almost enough to win her heart. Of course, she had to remember just how Wanda had won Natasha's heart. Long story short, Nat hated her for seeing her memories. One day, she saw how broken she was and began to help her. She became friends with her and soon after, Nat and Clint were assigned as adopted parents to the twins, but of course, they didn't get along too well until one night...She snapped out of the thought and picked up Ivory, setting her next to Kokatsuna.
Wanda climbed the stairs to her room and sat on her bed, thinking. Nat had taught her so many more words, she'd taught her what things were, like phones and computers, and mostly, she'd taught her that she wasn't alone with just Pietro there for her. As she thought about the good memories, Nat walked in.
"I'm worried about Ivory. I would get a doctor, but...I don't think it's...Right. They're...Not so good, don't you think, kid?"
She asked, looking at the mirror. Wanda smiled lightly when she called her "kid". It was a thing Clint and Nat did. Clint and Nat were like parents to the twins. Actually, that was the original plan, for them to be fake parents to them. Of course, they never liked each other in that way, but for a few months, they were basically their parents. Then Wanda and Natasha started to have feelings for each other. However, Pietro and Clint...It was complicated. Bringing her thoughts back to the conversation, she looked at Nat.
"She'll be fine."
Wanda forced herself to say it confidently. Nat's eyes were bright and clear, hope sparkling in them. Wanda looked in the mirror. Her grey eyes like those of the children of Athena in Greek Myths were hazy with uncertainty, her eyes half lidded with sadness, sparkling with worry instead of confidence. She fully opened her eyes and tried to look hopeful. Looking back at Nat gave her a surge of confidence. She never masked her emotions and always spoke her mind. She was never a motherly figure, never a sisterly one either, but she was, however, a friend. A very good friend. Of course, she was dangerous and her enemies couldn't trust her. Honestly, even her allies had their doubts sometimes. She leaned into Nat's shoulder and Nat wrapped her arm around her in a protective gesture. Wanda could feel that she was tense. Her hand was on the hilt of her knife. Her shoulders were up like a cat. She was ready to dart off the bed. Wanda shot out a warning to whatever was out there:
"We are ready."
Nat looked at her and nodded in appreciation, which was odd, because only potential enemies and those that could see or sense her message got the message. Suddenly, a Chimera burst through the door and leaped at Natasha.
It's finally done! This has over 2,000 words! I got my new kitten on Sunday last week by the way. Also, the next chapter will have a lot of Ivory and Kokatsuna's POV's. Kokatsuna is the male variant of Ivory, he's exactly like her but a complete opposite. Heheh. Funny how that works. Well, see y'all! ~Shatter Me
