Chapter 3

Awakening

Pietro pulled his sister to the side as they made it into the research facility. He holds his twin close so that they wouldn't be spotted by the presumed scientist up top with the silver-haired young man pinned to the wall.

"Pietro, do you feel that?" Wanda whispered to her brother.

Pietro frowns. "A little…"

"It feels like Uncle's and mom's sword." Wanda whispered. She looks up at the science lab.

Pietro frowns at that, looking down at his twin sister.

"See what just a small fraction of my research has yielded." The scientist states with a sadistic smile. "Look!" He turns to the three white suite demons the twins fought earlier in the library. "How beautiful this white armor stand! You have no idea the hardship to make just one armor come to life."

"Clearly the mind stone isn't the only way." Pietro mutters.

"They're not like Vis, or like Ultron." Wanda states narrowing her eyes. "There's nothing…"

"I had to capture and control countless demons to harness their souls. Summoning them alone was almost an insurmountable task." The scientist states.

"That's low…even Hydra wouldn't go that far." Pietro frowns in disgust.

"Hydra performed experiments on us, and look at Bucky his mind was damaged by them." Wanda points out.

"Summoning…" Nero gasped out, placing all the puzzles pieces together, turning his head towards Agnus. "So it was you…who made the gate!?"

"Yes, yes, the Hellgate!" Agnus exclaims with a smile on his lips walking closer to Nero. "I created it merely as a reference in substitution for the real Gate, but after utilizing an extremely powerful Devil's Arm, it proved sufficient."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Nero questioned.

Agnus stares at the young man and lets out a small chuckle holding his right arm out. "You should rest." He takes a large sword from one of the suit demons and rams it right through Nero's gut. He watches as Nero coughs up some blood smiling at the sight. "Soon you shall be my next subject of experimentation so that I can learn a little something from you and that arm."

"Never…" Nero gasps out with a spit of blood aiming at Agnus.

The scientist narrows his eyes and with an angry growl, shoves the large sword deeper into Nero's gut before ripping it out. He turns to the three suit demons. "T-t-t-take him out!"

Pietro narrows his eyes at that. "Oh no, you don't." He get's ready to run, when he feels his sister grabbing his arm to stop him. He turns his head towards her. "Wanda? Let me go."

"Wait. Do you feel that?" Wanda asks a frightful expression slowly painting her face.

Pietro was about to respond when he paused. His confused face slowly turns into a horrified look as his attention turns towards the source of the power.

"I never felt this power before…" Wanda whispered.

"I have…" Pietro mutters.

Nero gasps out feeling a surge of energy running through his veins, pained breathing suddenly changed into heavy breathing of energy. He twitches his demonic right arm where all the energy is coming from. He suddenly releases from him and a handle to a sword finds its' way to his demonic hand. With his labored breathing, Nero slowly got up, and walks up to the shattered window of the lab looking down at Agnus' devil form.

"How…" Agnus gasps looking up at Nero. "Not even I could succeed in restoring it!"

"From that day forth…my arm changed… and a voice echoed…" Nero gasps out, his voice a little lower and has an echo to it. "'Power'…'Give me more power!'"

"What?" Agnus shouts.

"And if I become a demon, so be it, I will endure the exile…Anything to protect her." Nero shouts swinging the katana down as a harsh wind blasted from it hitting the ceiling of the science lab causing an explosion.

Agnus looks up at the giant hole in the ceiling then back over at Nero. "This is preposterous! Preposterous!" He shouts and flies off.

Wanda widens her eyes at the gush of wind that nearly hits them if it wasn't for Pietro's incredible speed. The youngest twin breathes heavily looking at her brother.

"Come on," Pietro states helping his sister up. "Let's see what this guy knows."

"Pietro, what was that." Wanda states grabbing her brother's hand. "Is there something you're not telling me?"

Pietro looks at his sister and shakes his head. "No, it's nothing." With that, he starts a running start before jumping through the shattered glass.

Wanda crosses her arms glaring at her brother with a defeated sigh she follows after him.

"I should get back to Headquarters." Nero gasps out, slowly getting up.

"Like some company on that travel?"

Drawing out his gun, Nero turns towards the voice. His gun aimed right at a silvered haired male dressed in a silver-blue jacket with a gun pointed at him. Nero narrows his eyes. "Who are you?"

"A friend." The silver-haired male states with a shrug.

"Does a friend point a gun at someone?" Nero asks.

"Only if he wasn't the first one to pull it out." He shrugs with a smirk on his lips. "By the way, that's a nice arm."

"What do you want?" Nero asks with a sneer. "I'm not into games right now, kid."

"No, I believe you are the kid. I'm slightly older than you." The stranger states with a shrug.

"Pietro, that's enough."

Nero turned his attention towards the feminine voice and narrows his eyes at the brunette who walked forward dressed in scarlet. "Who are you? His girlfriend?"

"No, I'm the responsible twin." She states getting in between Pietro and Nero. "I'm Wanda."

"Pietro and Wanda, huh?" Nero muses looking at them. He frowns noticing his arm slightly glowing. He turns his attention towards the twins. "You demons also?"

"More like, what you are. Maybe." Pietro shrugs putting his gun away.

"Our father was human, and out mother is a half-demon half-human," Wanda explains. "Our demon blood is more diluted, but it is present."

"Alright…so why are you two here then?"

"Honestly? We don't know anymore." Wanda sighs. "We came here to gather information on the religion here, but instead we are stuck here with no context on what is going on."

"Makes you miss the Avengers huh?" Pietro asks with a smirk.

Wanda used her powers to gently fling her brother over to the other side of the lab. "We're not just trying to find some answers on what's going on why are there demons everywhere."

Nero blinks looking at Wanda, then over at Pietro who is slowly getting up from being thrown by an invisible force. "How…what?" He shakes his head and turns away from the twins. "I don't have time for this. I need to get back to Headquarters, if anything that Agnus said is true, then Credo must've known something."

"Wouldn't mind if we tag along?" Pietro asks blocking Nero's path.

"Why should I?" Nero asks with narrowed eyes.

"You never know when you'll need back up. It'll suck if you got one of your arms cut off, right?" Pietro asks with a shrug.

Hey! A new chapter! How about that!

What did you think?

I always enjoyed Nero's awakening, how about you?

Let me know what you think!

Until next time!
