Chapter 211: Reconcilation
Chapter 211: Reconcilation
"Do other people know of the infinity stones?" Steve asked.
"Yes. Some powerful people do know about it. Some don't care and some are actively hunting for it." John said.
"So we will have to defend against them?" Arthur said.
"Yes. Wars are coming. But you don't have to worry. We are already very powerful now even when we take the whole universe together. And more friends would be joining soon." John said.
"More? That's good." Diana said.
"Now let's handle the twins. Do you both know why you both are here?" John asked.
"So that you can mock us. You all are hypocrites. Killing people and showing the world that you did good." Pietro said.
"How are we hypocrites?" Wayne asked.
"Tony Stark is an arms dealer. He is responsible for all the wrongs of Sokovia." Wanda said.
"Ryan hand me a gun." John said. Ryan went out to bring a gun and brought a small pistol back. John took it and gave it to Pietro.
"Now kill Tony." John said. Everybody was taken aback by this sudden change. Tony was ready to use his suit which he still wore but Wayne stopped it by shaking his head.
"Since Tony's weapons killed your parents. Kill him and avenge them." John said.
"You know about our parents?" Wanda asked.
"I know more than you can imagine. Now shoot Pietro. I am sure you have been dying to do this." John said. Pietro trembled with the gun in his hand as he pointed the muzzle at Tony's head.
His hands were shaking as he pointed the gun. After a few seconds of pointing at Tony and tears in his eyes he let go of the gun.
"I can't. I thought I could. I can't…..." Petro said after he sat on the floor. Wanda who was free now ran to Pietro to console him. Pietro was crying as he really felt very much conflicted. All their lives they lived for revenge and now when they were given the chance they couldn't even take the shot.
"What do you want?" Wanda asked.
"What killed you parents Wanda? The weapons or Tony Stark? If Pietro had shot, was the killer - the gun or the man who triggered it?" John asked
"What do you mean?" Wanda asked.
"He means I had no idea my weapons were sold for war purposes. I made weapons only for the country but later realised it served for making more war in the world outside. I can understand your pain Wanda. I really do. I am sorry. The man responsible for all this was my uncle and I killed him. I hope that gives you peace." Tony said as he now understood the story behind the death of their parents.
"What could you possibly know about the pain? You are just a rich playboy." Wanda screamed.
"My parents were killed by a member of our own team. He was brainwashed to murder my parents. So yes, I understand the pain more than you think." Tony said as he lamented. Life came really full circle for him. Now he understood what Bucky felt when he tried to kill him.
Wanda became silent when she heard that as she didn't know how to reply to that. Tony wouldn't lie at this point as they were already caught. Pietro sobered up and said
"What do you want to do with us? Lock us up."
"Of course no. We want you to join the Avengers and help us." John said.
"Avengers?..." Wanda murmured.
"But we are just experiments. Will you even trust us in joining the team." Wanda asked sceptically.
"You both aren't inherently bad. It's just Hydra let you both astray. Hopefully the Avengers would show you how vast and complicated the world is." Hal said from the side.
"Talking about experiments. Your brother is one but you are different." Yen said.
"Huh? I don't understand." Wanda said as she really didn't understand.
"She means the power which you have now has been your power since your birth. You have now heard the story of infinity stones. The mind stone just opened that power of yours." John said.
"You are a witch Wanda. Like us. Come with us. We can teach you how to control that huge magic power of yours." Triss said.
"A witch.. why does it sound bad?" Wanda asked sceptically as she had watched many series and none of the stories talked good about witches.
"Don't trust everything you see. Feel for yourself." Steve said as he was happy to introduce new people if they are good.
"You both will be under evaluation by all of us and can only join if we think you both are worthy enough. Wanda will go to the wolf school and Pietro will go with Flash. If you both pass the assessment of them, then you can join. This journey is long and difficult. You both are new in this field. Only after proper training, control and better judgement can let you both join us." Wayne said at the end. /Yeah I know this weird of them joining the team, but then again they joined the Avengers in a very weird way too/
"We understand. I too want to see how fast I can run. Wanda can join these so-called witches. But if I see you doing bad things I will stop all of you." Pietro said.
