Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?

Did you? Did you?

Chapter Four

"What do you mean help find your brother?" Natasha asked. She was seriously questioning Wanda's sanity. "Pietro died a few days ago, remember?" She patted Wanda awkwardly on the shoulder.

Wanda brushed her off. "No, he isn't dead."

Clint, Steve and Natasha exchanged glances. She must be going through shock all over again and had somehow convinced herself that Pietro was still alive.

Wanda sighed. "I can hear what all of you are thinking. I haven't lost my mind." She began pacing rapidly. "I could see that Pietro was in a room somewhere with a man. And the man took Pietro's body on purpose. I don't know why though. We have to find Pietro as soon as possible."

Clint was the first one to speak. "That was a strange dream you had. But you know that it was just a dream right?"

Wanda crossed her arms and huffed. They were patronizing her. "You all know that I am able to see inside people's minds. Sometimes I can use that power to sense where they are. If I have a strong enough bond with the person then I can see them in my dreams too. And it's completely real." She added with a slight frown.

Steve rubbed the back of his neck and coughed. "Are you sure?" He wanted to put all doubt from everyone's minds. And his own.

Wanda nodded. "I am sure."

For the first time in a while, the sparkle had returned to her eyes. Steve didn't want to make the sparkle go away. "Okay. We'll help you."

Wanda smiled. "Thank you. Can you get everyone else and meet me back here in ten minutes?" She didn't wait for an answer. Whirling around, she crashed into something hard and fell backwards onto the floor. Glancing up, she met Bucky's worried blue eyes.

He helped her up off of the floor. "Are you all right?" He felt terrible for hurting her. She felt so delicate compared to him.

She gave him a reassuring nod. "I am fine. I was just going to pack my things." She continued walking to her room and Bucky trailed after her.

"Where are you going?" He asked curiously.

"To find my brother." Wanda didn't offer any more explanation; she just kept on walking. "You can pack your things too if you want." She knew that there was no way that he would stay behind while she left. That gave her a warm feeling inside.

Wait a minute. It occurred to her that Bucky didn't have anything other than the clothes on his back. He had been walking around in his Winter Soldier outfit for days. Maybe Steve would have something that Bucky could borrow. She would have to ask him later.

Wanda reached her room and without invitation, Bucky followed her in and sat on her chair. She didn't mind though. Looking under the bed, she found a blue suitcase and pulled it out, memories hitting her full force.

When they were younger and in the orphanage, the orphanage had given them two suitcases: one red and one blue. Pietro had always insisted on having the blue suitcase. She smiled sadly at the suitcase. "One day soon you can have the blue suitcase again, Pietro."

Bucky noticed a tear sliding down Wanda's cheek. She seemed to have forgotten that he was there. She suddenly lifted her head and brushed off her tears. "I can't save Pietro by sitting here crying." She told herself.

Wanda laid the suitcase on the bed and opened it; then she proceeded to fill it with clothes. "I don't know how long we will be gone so I will just bring most of my things."

It took Bucky a second to realize that she was talking to him. She went on, not expecting him to answer. "I should probably pack my new suit."

She finished packing her things and zipped up her suitcase. "Are you ready?" She asked Bucky.

He gave her a nod and took her suitcase from her. They made their way down the hall and back to the sitting room where they found everyone gathered there.

Wanda quickly explained the situation again. They were obviously hesitant, but agreed to help. Everyone left to pack their things and Wanda plopped down on a chair to wait. Bucky stood behind her chair.

Natasha was the first to come back with her packed bag. "I've had lots of experience packing in a hurry." She explained at their surprised looks.

Clint was right behind her. He entered the room, stuffing a leftover cupcake in his mouth. "What?" He asked, his mouth full. "I was hungry."

Wanda chuckled a little, then immediately felt bad. She couldn't be happy when her brother was somewhere all alone.

Everyone else was soon ready. Tony held up a huge basket. "Pepper packed some food. There's enough to feed a large army in here."

They all piled onto the Quinjet and got comfortable in their seats. It was going to be long ride. As far as Wanda could tell, Pietro was somewhere on the continent of Europe. She could sense that much, but when she tried to see exactly where in Europe he was, she couldn't do it.

Wanda should have been able to find him. She was almost positive that someone was blocking the full effects of her power.

She sat on the end of the bench seat in the back of the Quinjet. Bucky sat next to her, and Steve sat next to him, with Bruce sitting on the end. Tony was sitting up in the front somewhere with Vision. Clint was flying the plane and Natasha was sitting beside him in the passenger seat.

Bucky glanced over at Steve as if he was uncomfortable. Steve smiled at him. It was almost a hopeful smile. Wanda knew that Steve wanted Bucky to regain all of his memories . She didn't blame him. Bucky had been his best friend and now he didn't know how to act around him.

She wondered what Bucky was thinking about. She decided to do something that she had only done with Pietro. With her powers, she entered Bucky's mind. He jumped a little, and turned to look at her.

It's okay. She told him in his mind. It's just me. Is it okay if I talk to you like this?

Bucky stared at her for a second and then nodded tentatively.

I was just curious if you remembered anything about your past?

Bucky shook his head no.

The mind link is open both ways. You can speak to me too.

Bucky nodded to show her that he understood. No, I don't remember anything from my past. He glanced at Steve. All I know is that I must have been very good friends with him.

Wanda felt sympathy for him. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to lose everything you've ever known and not even remember what a part of your life had been like. When all of this is over, I will help you regain your memories.

"What the heck are you two doing?" Tony had come to the back to talk with Bruce and had noticed Bucky and Wanda looking at each other, and making facial expressions, but not saying a word.

At Tony's words, Wanda broke the mind link. "Um.." She wasn't sure how to explain. "Talking."

Tony raised a questioning brow, but before Wanda could explain further, she was thrown out of her chair and onto the floor. She hit the floor pretty hard and her elbow scraped against something sharp.

She held back her cry of pain.

"Sorry!" Clint called back. "Turbulence. There's a storm coming up."

Wanda sat back in her chair, her elbow throbbing.

"You're bleeding." Steve said, pointing to her elbow.

Wanda looked at her elbow and saw blood gathering around a cut. "It's just a small cut."

"Let me see." Steve didn't wait for her permission. He directed her to sit next to him and examined her elbow. "I don't think you cut your elbow on anything rusty. But I'll put some disinfectant on it."

Bruce handed him the first aid kit. "I can do that if you want."

"It's okay." Steve told him. "I was trained a little in first aid." He gently cupped Wanda's elbow and cleared the blood off with a clean towel.

Wanda winced in pain.

"Sorry." Steve continued cleaning her cut and then wrapped a bandage around it. "There. That should keep it from getting infected."

Wanda smiled at him. "Thank you," She said quietly. It had only been a week since she first started living at Avengers tower, but she was actually starting to feel like she was part of the Avengers. It was a nice feeling.

As she sat laid back so she was touching her seat, she accidentally brushed Bucky's hand with her own. Heat shot up her arm, startling her. "Sorry." She whispered.

Steve was watching the whole exchange and one side of his mouth went up in a lopsided grin. He didn't comment; instead he laid his head back on his chair. "Wake me up when we get there."

Bruce and Steve quickly dropped off to sleep while Tony returned to the front. Wanda was too restless to sleep. She rose from her seat and tiptoed to the front. Tony was snoring away in his chair and Vision was looking out the window.

He turned around when he heard her come in. "Were you not tired?" He asked.

"Not really." Wanda shrugged. The truth was, she was too worried about Pietro to sleep. "What about you?"

"I don't need to sleep."

"Oh." Wanda joined him at the window and stared at the clouds they were passing.

"Sometimes people don't notice." Vision said.

"Notice what?" Wanda asked.

"The simple beauty of things. Like storm clouds gathering just before the storm. Or the smell of the earth just after it rains."

Wanda examined his face. His expression was peaceful. He wasn't very much like a robot.

She dropped her gaze to the ground, thinking about Pietro and how he couldn't appreciate the beauty of things, because he was in some room somewhere.

"You are sad." Vision stated, glancing at her. "Because of your brother."

Wanda sighed. "Yes. I'm worried about him."

Vision put his hand on her shoulder. "We will find him."

Wanda sent him a smile. "Thank you."

She walked back to her seat and found Bucky wide awake and staring straight ahead.

"Are you okay?" She asked, touching him gently on the arm. He jumped, not used to human contact.

"I had a nightmare."

"Oh." Maybe it was because Wanda was lonely, maybe it was because she missed her brother, or maybe, maybe she just need a hug; but for whatever reason she sat down next to Bucky and said, "Can you hold me?"

Bucky was obviously shocked as he just stared at her for several moments. He didn't say anything; he merely pulled her closer and wrapped an arm around her. Wanda laid her head on his chest and listened to the sound of his heartbeat in her ear like she had done so many times with Pietro.

Wanda was asleep in minutes. Bucky glanced down at her sleeping form. She had fallen asleep easily in his arms. She trusted him. And he had to make sure that he never broke that trust.

Pietro woke up, gasping for breath. He felt like he had been underwater and just now had gotten a sweet breath of air. He gazed around at his surroundings. He was laying on a carpet in front of a fireplace in a dark room.

"Where am I?" He said aloud.

"If I told you that, I would have to kill you." A deep voice rumbled.

Pietro sat up and looked around until his eyes settled on a man in the corner. A large, purple man.

Pietro was confused. The last thing he remembered was running in front of Hawkeye to save him and a small child from the bullets. He had felt a piercing pain and then everything had gone dark.

"What do you want with me?" He asked. "And why am I not dead? Not that I'm complaining, but last thing I remember I was dead." He slowly got to his feet. "Where's Wanda?"

"It matters not." The man waved his hand. "My name is Thanos and you will be my servant."

Pietro crossed his arms. "Oh, I will, will I?" He tried to run, but Thanos stopped him in his tracks.

"If you don't help me, I will kill your sister." Thanos said it so calmly, like he was inviting someone over for afternoon tea.

"Wanda can take care of herself. And what do you want me to help you with?"

"World domination." Thanos replied.

Of course it would be world domination. Pietro thought. What else would it be? It couldn't just be helping him get some food like fried ice cream. Which is actually surprisingly good….

"I refuse to help you." Pietro told him. Wanda would be all right. He could find some way to warn her.

Thanks approached him menacingly. "Then I guess I will have to find another way to persuade you."
