Chapter Text
He hadn’t expected anything that day really, he was just visiting their mother’s gardens one second and the next he found himself in the back of a moving truck, shackled, with his brother who was currently crying softly. Tommy’s heart ached. Yes, they’re twins, and yes, Tommy is only eight minutes older than him, but for some reason, he felt the need to protect him like an older sibling would. His neck strained from the power inhibitor which cancelled out their abilities, and his face was put into a scowl as much as he could.
“all that work finally pays off.” The doctor says, he was pale as sheet and a big red diamond was embedded on his forehead and chest. His eyes were a piercing red color and long, strips of black fabric draped over his back like medusa’s hair. Tommy scoffed, and he would of made fun of his choice of clothing if he hadn’t been so goddamn tired.
“I’ve finally managed to capture the two princes of Genosha, oh the things I could do with such power.” He rambled on, Billy managed a whimper which caused Tommy to immediately look in his direction, only now realizing the big, open, gash on the side of Billy’s stomache. Bleeding profusely. Tommy gasped, eyes wide. The man only smirked “shh, don’t fret my boy, it’ll be over soon.” He cooed in mockery, cold fingers caressing the side of Billy’s face, who flinched and tried to shy away from the unwanted touch. “just you wait until I get my hands on you…” he said, sending shivers down Billy’s spine and a tear down his cheek.
“GET AWAY FROM HIM!” Tommy barked, anger rising up to fill his chest as he warned the man. Nobody messes with his baby brother. The man laughed sinisterly. “that’s adorable, your highness, but what do you suppose you can do about it?” Tommy growled. As the crown prince of Genosha, he learned that putting up a tough front in the face of distress goes a long way, one of the many lessons his grandfather had taught him. The man looked back at Billy with a maniacal grin.
“I know all about your gifts, Prince William, how…potentially dangerous they are at the hands of someone like me, your family is right for shielding you away from the outside world, but not even your grandfather, supreme ruler of Genosha can hide these things from Mister Sinister.” He smiled with a glint of obsession in it. Tommy growled again,“if you even lay a finger on him—”
“or what, Prince Thomas? What can you do about it?” Sinister spoke in a mock tone.
“you sick fuck”
“language, your highness! Surely your mother had taught you to treat strangers politely?”
“no. but she does teach us fashion sense, and uhh…I don’t think yours did.” Tommy grinned in satisfaction. This psycopath can break into him all he wants, but if Tommy is anything, he isn’t made of glass. Beside him, Billy giggled a little before quieting himself. The doctor raised an open palm high up in the air and it didn’t take long for the young boys to register what he was about to do, they looked up in fear, eyes wide.
PLAK
Billy yelped in pain as his cheek burned, a bruise already forming. Rough, calloused, cold hands grabbed his face harshly causing the young boy to whimper. “BILLY! NO! GET AWAY FROM HIM, ASSHOLE!”
The looming man looked him up and down, already grinning again. “let’s see who gets the last laugh when I cut your stomaches open.”
“get off me!” “AAGGHH” Mister Sinister pulled his hand away to reveal a deep bite mark caused by Billy. Tommy chuckled with pride for his brother.
Mister Sinister looked back and glared menacingly at the two boys. “you brat—” he lunged forward, a knife suddenly appearing in his hand, but before he could do anything, the truck rumbled.
The drivers and his lackeys all looked around in alert when suddenly, a red, looming mist encompassed the bus. Billy let out a breath of relief, and Tommy smirked at the man in front of them.
“I guess we’ve got the last laugh, doctor.”
And just like that the truck came to a screeching halt. The front suddenly ripped off and yanked away with a flick of green aura. There, their mother, aunt, uncle and grandfather stood. Eyes glowing red, green, blue and purple, all in an angry scowl but none as enraged as Wanda. Her body completely covered in surging bursts of red energy as she screamed.
“GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF MY SONS!!!” she shot the doctor away from her two boys and proceeded to tear him apart, making sure his death was as painful as it could be for attempting to take away her babies. Erik grinned and yanked away the guns from Sinister’s lackeys, who looked up in fear as the guns slowly turned around to face them, they shrieked and ran the opposite direction, but it was too late as bullets ricocheted around the truck, hitting each of them square on.
Pietro was by the boys’ side in a flash, he ripped away the shackles as Lorna disabled the collars. Their wrists and necks were red and bloody as a result of being rubbed raw by the chains. “are you two okay?” Lorna asked, Pietro notice the big gash on Billy’s side, still bleeding. He furrowed his brows in worry.
As Erik handled the lackeys, Wanda approached her siblings and sons, worry etched across her face. “oh my babies!” Wanda called, cradling the two boys in her arms as she pressed multiple kisses on their foreheads. “oh goodness, are you alright, are you hurt, what did he…do…” she trailed off, noticing the scars and wounds scattered across her sons complexions. She gasped softly and cupped their hands in hers. Tommy whimpered as she accidentally grazed a particularly deep scar. Her expression darkened as her eyes glowed a dangerous red hue, both Lorna and Pietro recognized that look. She abruptly stood up before placing her gaze on the doctor currently laughing on the ground.
Every single laughter made Wanda sick to the stomache, because this man had hurt her boys. And he was going to pay. “you see, Princess Wanda, I only wish to study their powers…” he said in mock respect. “you mean, torture? Experiment on them?” she accused with disgust, her hands already a gleaming glow of red. Mister Sinister barked out another laugh. “you say torture, I say study, when will we ever see eye-to-eye, your highness?”
“perhaps never because you’ll already be dead by then.” She said raising her hand, locking the man in place. “the gifts of a mutant shouldn’t be kept to one, your highness, that’s selfish, especially one with such infinite power.” The doctor paused, grinning slyly, “and you know all about infinite power, don’t you, Princess?” he grinned wide and laughed maniacally. His shrieks of joy echoed through the walls, causing the boys to cuddle into eachothers embrace out of fear. Lorna and Pietro looked at him in disgust. The laughter continued over and over until—
SPLAT
Blood splattered across the crumpled up truck walls as Wanda twisted the doctor’s head around. His lifeless body dropping down on the floor. the princess closed her eyes momentarily to cool down before turning back to her sons.
She cradled them in her arms lovingly, pressing reassuring kisses and murmurs, letting the boys know that they’re safe. When they returned to the palace, they were assigned to the medbay and Billy had to get stitches. She tended to their wounds, comforting them with her hands, gentle yet poised with power.
Princess Wanda Magnus would rather let a thousand stars die and get tortured for eternity with all the methods in the world, than let her boys get in the way of harm ever.
