"So List and Strucker are HYDRA?" Wanda asked.
"Yes, and HYDRA just took down the only organization that could stop them." Bea shook her head. "That or SHIELD took HYDRA down with them. Either way, the public is going mad. You wouldn't believe the reactions."
"What about you here?" Pietro asked, his chest rumbling against her back. "Does anyone know about you, what you can do?"
Thinking back to the old man in Washington, she merely shook her head, leaning back into Pietro. "Just you two."
"Your family…" Wanda breathed sadly, seeing in Bea's head her online searches for her family. "Strucker had them killed. Beatrix, I am so sorry."
"Draga…" Pietro's grip tightened around Bea as she sagged slightly.
"It was efficient for him I suppose." Bea sniffled. "So, it just leaves me in my family alive, the only one asides from you two to know about what I can do. And I intend to keep it that way."
"You're not staying." Wanda realized, her face falling.
"I'll come back at night, but I won't have anything to do with HYDRA. I didn't ask for any of this." Bea's jaw tightened slightly.
"What about us?" Pietro mumbled, resting his chin in the crook of her neck.
"Come with me." She reached back to comb her fingers through his shaggy hair. "I'm staying in a country home, middle of nowhere. We'd be safe. No one would find us."
The moment the twins looked at each other, Bea knew this was a discussion she wouldn't win. "Bea, we've come this far to avenge our parents, we're getting so close. We can't leave now." Pietro said.
"But you just want Stark! Strucker wants to go after all the Avengers, then after that, presumably anyone who stands in his way!" She protested. "You two are good people, don't do this! You're not going to let yourselves become pawns, are you?"
"No." Wanda grounded out.
"No, once we get what we want, we'll leave and join you." Pietro promised. "Who are HYDRA to stop us from doing what we want?"
"You do remember that you're in a glass cage? Trapped?" She reminded him.
"Contained." He replied. "For our safety and the safety of others."
"That's bullshit and you know it." She twisted in his lap.
"I'm sorry, but some of us weren't lucky enough to control our powers right away." He spat back.
"I think I should go home now." She said abruptly, standing up from his lap.
"Bea, wait." Wanda jumped up, looking at her friend helplessly.
Turning to her friend, Bea threw her arms around the other girl and hugged her tightly. "I'll come back." She promised. "This is just a lot to take in."
Her eyes glowing red momentarily, Wanda saw her friend was being honest, making her return the hug just as tightly. "Come back soon." She whispered.
"You know I will." Bea said. Pulling away, she held out a hand to Pietro who was still looking away. "Pietro." She said calmly, keeping her hand out.
Rolling his eyes and sighing, he turned to her and grabbed her hand. With a final smile from Bea to his sister, they disappeared from her cell and reappeared in his cell. "Thanks." He said offhandedly, dropping her hand to flop onto his cot.
"Pietro…" Bea sighed as he rolled over to have his back to her.
"See you again soon." He said.
Exhaling heavily, she wandered over to his cot to bend over him and press a kiss to his cheek, brushing the corner of his mouth. "I missed you, mi amor." She whispered. "I truly do." With that, she disappeared, leaving him alone once more as he began to cry.
