Lose your heart, but don't know when?

And no one cares. There's no one there.

Chapter Seven

Wanda released Bucky's mind and sat back in exhaustion. Using her powers for so long and so intently had taken its toll on her. She felt like she could sleep for a week.

Bucky looked tired too. She had found out so much about him. Who he had been before the war and who he had become through Hydra's brainwashing. Unfortunately, she hadn't been able to recover some of the memories from his childhood.

She had sensed how hesitant he was to let her see his memories and now she knew why. He had assassinated many people before. Hydra had tricked him into thinking these people were evil. Most of the people that had been killed were high ranking officials or politicians from different countries.

But all of that didn't change how Wanda felt about Bucky. Pietro had asked her once before if she loved Bucky and she had said she did. That had been a while ago, but Wanda's feelings never changed since then. She only hoped that maybe Bucky felt the same.

"Are you all right?" Wanda asked Bucky, who had not yet moved from his position. Looking through old memories could be a difficult experience.

"Yes, I'm fine." Bucky seemed to be trying to assure himself of that. "It's just hard…remembering some things."

Wanda knew exactly how he felt. Some things were better left in the past. Her mind went back to her allegiance with Hydra and she cringed. Dr. Strucker had convinced her that the Avengers were vile people who killed just for fun.

The footage of the Avengers murdering innocent people he had showed her looked so real, but Wanda knew now that it wasn't. She wished that she had known before who the Avengers really were and what they stood for. They were good people.

"Thank you." Bucky said. The words were strange coming out of his mouth. He could hardly remember the last time he had said them.

A faint smile spread over Wanda's face and brought light to her chocolate brown eyes. The hint of joy in her eyes made Bucky grin.

Wanda's sunny smile widened even more as she saw Bucky give her an actual smile.

"You're welcome." She responded, thinking back to the day she had first met him. She and Pietro had been at an orphanage when Hydra had come looking for recruits. Bucky had been sent to look over the children to see which ones were suitable to be experimented on.

Wanda had only been sixteen at the time. She remembered how sad she had felt for Bucky. He had looked so defeated. They had come a long way since then.

She sighed and dropped her head. She wanted to talk to Pietro so much. They told each other everything. Hopefully, they could rescue him soon. She missed him.

"Do you miss your brother?" Bucky asked. He had been watching as Wanda's face fell and presumed that she was thinking about her brother.

"Yes." Wanda's eyes filled with tears. "We have never been apart for this long. And I don't know what Thanos could be doing right now to him."

Bucky covered Wanda's hands with his own. "Tell me about him."

Wanda smiled and thought back to their childhood. "When we were younger, Pietro would pull pranks at our school and somehow I would always get in trouble with him."

She chuckled softly. "And whenever our mother made something that Pietro didn't like, he would pretend to fall asleep. Our parents saw right through it, but they let him get away with it anyway.

"He's headstrong and stubborn, but I love him for it. He's a quick thinker, which is good because with super speed you have to be. Also, he is very charming with the ladies."

Wanda felt better as she told Bucky different stories about Pietro. She laughed as she remembered all the times he had cheered her up with a funny joke and she smiled sadly as she recalled that he had held her when she was scared and protected her from any boys that even looked her way.

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything." Natasha said from the doorway, a smirk on her face.

Wanda shook her head. "No, you weren't. I was just telling Bucky about Pietro."

"Well, I thought you guys might one to eat with the rest of us. But if you guys just want to stay in here…." Natasha trailed off and waited for their response, already knowing what they would say.

"Oh no, we would love to eat with everyone."Wanda told her. "We'll be there in a minute."

Natasha nodded and walked back out of the room.

Wanda got to her feet and began putting her hair up in a braid. She noticed Bucky watching her, fascinated.

She gave him a questioning glance and he looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry. Your hair is very pretty."

Wanda blushed and self consciously tucked her hair behind her ear. "You think my hair is pretty?"

Bucky nodded. "What are you doing with it?" He had never seen anyone do that with their hair.

"I'm putting it in a braid." Wanda stopped halfway through her braid. "I'll show you how I do it." Unbraiding the already braided portion of her hair, she slowly rebraided her hair.

Bucky reached out and gently touched her hair. "Your hair is soft."

"Thank you."

Bucky stared at her for an almost uncomfortable amount of time.

He was thinking about how pure and beautiful she was and he was so ashamed of what he had done in the past. She was too good for him. Being around her wasn't good. He had to stop getting so close to her.

Wanda tilted her head, trying to read his facial expression. Bucky stopped touching her hair and pulled his hand back. "We should go."

Bucky had seemed kind of abrupt. Wanda wondered if it was something she said.

They followed the sound of voices to the room behind the flight deck. A blanket was spread out in the middle of the floor with an assortment of food and dishes on it.

"Pepper kind of went all out with the food." Tony commented.

"I'm not complaining." Clint took a huge bite out of a burger. "Good thing Thor is in Asgard or he would be eating all the food."

Wanda sat on the ground next to Steve and was rather surprised when Bucky sat on the other side of the blanket. Was he avoiding her?

He didn't make eye contact with her; he just picked up a hot dog and started eating.

Wanda tried to shrug it off and began eating her burger.

"What in the world are you doing?" Clint startled Wanda with his loud question.

"Um, eating a hamburger?" Wanda phrased it as a question, confused as to why he sounded upset.

"Not like that, you aren't." Clint scooted over so he was next to her. He took the burger from her hands. "One thing you have to learn, if you want to hang out with the Avengers, is that you have to eat your burger with ketchup."

Wanda had never tried her burger with ketchup on it. "Is it good?"

"Is it good?" Clint echoed. "You've never lived until you've tried it with ketchup."

Wanda laughed and retrieved her burger that was now smothered in ketchup. She took a big bite, chewed on it for a while for dramatic effect and then swallowed. "It's delicious." She announced.

Clint returned to his seat, satisfied. "Good."

Suddenly, the Quinjet veered sideways and Wanda almost face planted into the bowl of salad. She caught herself and rolled away.

"Another attack?" Clint yelled. "Really?" He raced to the flight deck to steer the jet.

The airlock burst open and wind came rushing in. Several robots flew in. Wanda stood, only to be knocked back on the ground. Glancing up, she saw a blur of blue. It couldn't be..

"Pietro?" She called. "Is that you?"

Everyone stared at her in shock just as the blur came to a stop. It was her brother, Pietro.

Wanda jumped to her feet and threw her arms around him. "Pietro!"

He stepped back and looked at her, confused.

"Pietro?" Oh no. Why was there no sign of recognition? Wanda started to panic. "Pietro, it's Wanda. Your sister." She caught sight of a yellow gem on a necklace around Pietro's neck.

"Why do you have Vision's stone around your neck?" Wanda didn't like where this was going. With her powers, she looked inside his mind. It was being kept blank, with only one thought. To kidnap her and take her to-

Before she could read his mind further, he snatched her up in his arms and turned to jump out of the airlock.

The others ceased fighting the robots. "Wanda!" Steve yelled as Pietro launched himself out of the jet, Wanda in his arms.

Everyone raced after them, but to their surprise there was no sign of either Wanda or Pietro. Bucky frantically searched the skies, but it was no use. Wanda was gone.

A.N- lol that was a little abrupt, wasn't it? Oh well, XD Thanks to everyone has reviewed, followed, and favorited. All of your support means a lot to me :D

Sorry there wasn't a lot of action in this chapter. I had a teensy weensy bit of writer's block, but I think it's gone now. Hey, if you guys want to see a really depressing video, look up Wanda and Pietro: Sacrifice on Youtube. It's amazing for anyone who wants to be really sad haha

If you want to see a pretty happy video with them just search Wanda and Pietro: Immortals. The video is only thirty six seconds but it's really good.

A song that applies to the first part of this chapter is probably Unconditionally by Katy Perry. You guys should check it out. :)

I usually don't go around listening to Katy Perry XD but I saw this song on a Doctor/Rose video. (It's a Doctor Who thing)

So yeah, that's all. I will update soon.

bye, guys!
