Chapter Four:
|Partnership|
Wanda's Pov
Previously on 'Adventure Awaits':
"You must be the vigilante that I've heard so much about." I said hiding my face in the shadow. He stared at me that felt like he was burning a hole into my skin.
"Who are you?" He asked in a deep voice, which sounded very soothing.
"I'm someone who is willing to work with you. A Partnership with the vigilante." He stood silent standing there at the edge of the rooftop.
"I work alone." He said with no emotion, as he turned about to jump off the rooftop.
"I want you to reconsider my offer." He stopped his tracks.
"And why is that?" He asked still having his back towards me.
"Because... I know that your Oliver Queen."
************************************************
This causes the vigilante or should I say Oliver to turn so quick, raising his bow and arrow and shoot a bunch of his arrows he is fast but I'm faster. I stopped all his arrows in mid air and dropping them like flies.
"I just want to talk, that's all I want." Notifying him that I'm not going to harm him.
"How do I know I won't kill you?" He asked with his hand tightly wrapped on his bow ready for anything.
"Because what I'm about to tell you will reconsider my offer." At this time I step out of the light revealing myself. Oliver released his tight grip on his bow.
"My name is Wanda Maximoff. I helped save the world along with the Earth's Mightiest Hero's, the Avengers."
"I recently learned about them." Oliver sighed and removed his hoodie revealing himself. I slightly smiled knowing I was right.
"Now... about that offer." Oliver sighed in defeat.
"I have a place we can go to so we can talk in private." I nodded my head.
*****
Oliver took me to his fathers old company an abandon factory that he's planning to use as a nightclub for his cover. Very smart of him.
"I'm working on a case that involves with a man named Deadshot aka Floyd Lawton. I recently retreated his laptop to find information about his next target but unfortunately his laptop is filled with bullet holes." Oliver informed me about the case he's working on.
"I believe I can help you with that." I walked over to the laptop but Oliver stood in my way with a serious face with his arms crossing his chest.
"Let's get something straight here. We're not partners until you prove to me that you won't do anything to get in my way, because the moment you get in my way or cross me... you'll regret it. You don't want me as an enemy Wanda." To be honest I wasn't scared, but I was intimidated by Oliver.
"Likewise. And I know for a fact you wouldn't want me as your enemy, Oliver." We stood there challenging each other when Oliver stepped aside watching me very carefully if I didn't pull a stunt on him.
With the familiar sensation running with my hands I pulled out the bullets from the laptop, my hands were turning a bit brighter when I returned the laptop to normal.
"Well... I guess that saves me a trip to Queen Consolidated." I gave a side smirk giving myself props. Oliver opens the laptop and starts looking into Deadshot's information trying to find out his next target. I stood behind him as he tried to hack but failed miserably.
"By the looks of it, you don't know how to hack into someone's laptop." I felt Oliver sided stared at me with frustration.
"I'm not much of a hacker. But I know someone who is very good with computers." I raised my eyebrow staring at Oliver confused.
"And who may that be?"
Next Day
Oliver and I walk side by side to Queen Consolidated heading to I.T Tech, there's one person in the whole entire building who can break into Deadshot's firewall. Felicity Smoak. As Oliver and I walk into I.T Teach we see a woman sitting on a chair looking very focused in her computer chewing on a red pen.
"Felicity Smoak?" Oliver called to her grabbing her attention, she turned around with the pen still her mouth.
"Hi I'm Oliver Queen, and this is..."
"Oh my gosh. Wanda Maximoff, you worked alongside with the Avengers to literally save the world. I'm such a huge fan and I know who you are, you're Mr. Queen." I cracked a smile as she rambled.
"No, Mr. Queen was my father." I sided glanced at Oliver remembering the fact that he's father died.
"Right. But he's dead. Like Wanda's brother. I mean he drowned, not her brother your father. But you didn't drown w-which means you could come down to the IT Department and listen to me babble." She looks at Oliver and I, and I'm holding back a smile. "Which will end, in three... two, one." Felicity reminds me of Barry.
"I'm having some trouble with my computer and they told me you were the people to come and see." Felicity grabbed the laptop as she starts to see what is wrong with the problem but sees nothing is wrong with it.
"It seems to working perfectly fine. What.. exactly is the problem here?" She asks, I decided to step in.
"Well, you see... Felicity." She smiles widely while nodding her head. "The truth is Oliver bought this laptop for me as a welcome home gift. And where I'm from we don't own anything like this and since Oliver has been stranded on an island for the past five years no of us really know much about technology." She made an 'o' face realizing where I'm from and what happened to Oliver.
"Right. Of course, besides your country is destroyed I mean... I really need to stop babbling. Wanda, what I said about your brother truly I'm sorry." I felt Oliver glanced at me and I know he noticed the change of my face expression.
"It's okay Felicity." I forced a smile, yes even though my brother died saving another avenger it still hurts.
"I will get right on this. I'll let you guys know when I'm done." We smiled and left Felicity's desk leaving Queen Consolidated. I know Oliver had many questions.
"What the hell was that back there?" Oliver said with an angry voice. I ignored him and kept walking, I felt Oliver roughly grab my arm and pull me aside.
"I asked you a question Wanda. What the hell was that about? How did you know I was stranded on an island for five years?" I pulled my arm away from his grip.
"Not here. Back at headquarters." I knew Oliver was getting aggravated with me.
"Wanda..." He said with a warning voice.
"I will tell you everything but we need to talk alone with no one around. Okay." I walked by Oliver heading to his car.
**********
Finally we arrived at Queen Consolidated Factory where I was going to tell him everything. In order for me to be part of his team I need to come clean, I know for a fact if don't he won't be able to trust me or let me stay on his team. Oliver stood by table with his arms crossing his arms over his chest by the computers waiting for me example and give him all the answers.
"Okay, we're here. Mind telling me what happened over at Queen Consolidated?" Oliver said in a serious tone.
"Alright. Before coming here to Starling City I did some research about this place." I started to begin confessing.
"How did you even know about this City?" He asked still not moving from his spot.
"My brother and I did a secret mission here at Starling City." Oliver started to seem interested by the topic.
"What mission was that?"
"We were retrieving a drug called Vertigo to enhance a serum that was being used by a secret organization called Hydra." Oliver narrowed his eyebrows familiar with the name Hydra.
"Wait hold on, isn't hydra the same organization that wanted to kill Captain America?" I nodded my head. "Why were you working for them?"
"My twin brother and I agreed to work with them as we were living in Sokovia. Because of Tony Stark." He widen his eyes but still looked confused.
"Tony Stark? As in Iron Man?" I nodded my head again. "But what does all of this have to do with what happened back at Queen Consolidated?" I sighed with frustration.
"Tony Stark is one of the reasons of the death of my parents. You remember Novi Grad Bombing?" Oliver nodded his head remembering it.
"Because of that everyone in Sokovia lost their homes and loved ones including my parents. Pietro and I joined forces with Hydra and agreed to some experiments." I explained to Oliver telling him this reminds me of the horror that had happened to me and my brother.
"What kind of experiments did they do to you?" Oliver's eye kinda soften, looking into his eyes I can tell he even through a lot of pain as well.
"Wolfgang von Strucker had me touch Loki's scepter which amplified my abilities of various psionic abilities, and my brother developed super speed. Once Hydra fell we joined forces with Ultron to get revenge on Tony Stark but it wasn't until we learned his true intentions." I continued to tell everything to Oliver.
"What were Ultron's intentions?" He asked.
"To destroyed Earth. Which is why Pietro and I switched sides and worked alongside with the Avengers to destroyed Ultron and save Earth, but unfortunately Pietro died. Saving another Avenger." A tear slipped through my eye as I wiped it quickly.
"But before my brother died he told me that he wanted to live a normal life. He always wanted to live here. In Starling City. So I did some research about this city and I read about the accident that happened with you and your father, the ship, you being stranded on an island for five years, and the vigilante. It didn't take a genius to figure out that you are the vigilante under the hood." Oliver was lost for words, but he knew I was telling him the truth because not for one second I didn't lose eye contact with him.
"So that's my story. Now do you believe me? Are we partners?" Oliver licked the bottom of his lips still debating but I knew his answer already.
"Welcome to the team Wanda."
