Chapter 11

'I … I have magic ... is it the same as Wanda's?'

{Yes, albeit a lot weaker.}

'Wait … is that why my machinations worked so well?'

{That's my guess, I think she somehow sees you as her responsibility now.}

Well, that's a lot to take in, but right now I am preoccupied with something else, because as we were flying, the unthinkable happened. The plummeting and immense capital of Sokovia … blew up.

"That God of thunder … he sure as hell packs a punch."

"Language Victor, I don't want the others to think you're … rude."

"Rude? … so maybe grotesque, possibly horrifying, but that's where we draw the line? At rude?"

"Hey! You are not grotesque ok, just … you can look a bit scarry sometimes, that's all."

'Tell that to those wolf pups.'

As we arrived, Wanda landed on the floor, and I, as the superior and higher being that I am, landed on her messy red hair.

"… what are you doing?"

"Caw! I am a crow, how could I possibly land on the filthy and disgusting ground?"

"At least go on my shoulder, you're messing my hair …"

"Fine … but it was already messy."

"No it was not!"

"I can't lie Wanda ... the battle messed it up pretty bad."

"... Tch, now you're making me self-conscious."

{Her brother just died, and that's what making her feel self-conscious? Damm, we really are good at this whole psychopathic manipulation thing.}

'Hey, rude! I'm not a psychopath ... just a high functioning sociopath.'

{You stole that right out of sherlock, didn't you?}

'So what? Sue me for all I care.' Whilst busy arguing with … well, myself, the one and only black Widow hesitatingly approached me and the scarlet witch.

"Wanda … I'm sorry for your loss, we all are. I know what is like, to lose somebody who means the world to you, so if you need someone to talk to, I want you to know that I am here for you … please, don't hesitate to reach out."

"... I will, thank you Natasha."

"Don't be so formal, you can call me Nat."

"Alright, thanks Nat."

"Anytime … so, who's that little friend of yours? Is he like a familiar? I've heard that witches have familiars, right?"

"Heh … something like that."

"Caw! Downgraded to ... a mere familiar? what a cruel and evil world..."

"... It can talk?"

"All crows can talk you foolish mortal … It is simply that my speech is comprehensible to your human ears- Ow! What was that for!" Said our hunter, trying to sound intimidating, but ultimately failing, for he was gently slapped by the witch in last moment.

"... I told you to not be rude Victor, do you want me to punish you?"

Suddenly, images the internet categorized as 'punish' flashed in our apex predator's mind.

"I express my deepest regret for everything I have said and hereby withdraw all my previous statements."

The Black Widow, shield's most skilled agent, couldn't help but snicker at the absurdity of the situation.

"Heh, he is funny."

"I am not funny! … I can be really scarry if a want to, actually."

"Aha, sure you can. I'll give you a treat when you frighten me."

Not a second after those words, iron man made his appearance, followed by the god of thunder.

"You know, I think we should go on a nice and long vacation after this, maybe on an exotic island with no more artificial intelligences around … no offence vision."

"None taken."

"... Where are the angry and fast ones?"

"Bruce got on a jet in stealth mode … making him impossible to track, and … Pietro is gone."

Tony stopped his movement for a moment, before turning so that he could face Wanda.

"I am sorry kid, you have my condolences..."

"... It's too late to say sorry now, you killed him 8 years ago when that bomb dropped on us, after all."

"And I vowed to make no more weapons ever since."

"Except Ultron, right?"

"Stop it Wanda, he's not worth it."

Everyone except Nat remained stunned at my words.

"... Since when did you become a Disney princess?"

"Since her brother died, now leave her be."

"Listen here birdbrain, if I don't take orders from Mad-Eye Moody, be sure as hell I won't take them from you."

'... I want to kill him.'

{everyone who has ever met him, at some point in their life wanted to kill him ... just bear with him for now.}

But suddenly, before the banter could continue, a large piece of celling sustained by titanium reinforced wire, for whatever reason-

'It's me, I weakened the wire whilst Wanda was crying … so I can make my heroic debut, you know?'

Ahem, For WHATEVER reason, just fell.

But the heroes were too slow, so the celling crushed the helpless humans bellow.

Except … it didn't, for it strangely stopped halfway it's course.

And under it, appeared the now celling sustaining tentacles of a

"... M-Monster! Oh my god!"

The beast, remained silent for a moment, before looking at a specific redhead and speaking in his cold, unforgiving voice:

"you look like you own me a treat, Nat."
