You had powers, like real powers. Like you can save the world with these powers, powers.
“So I ran all the tests, Y/N and basically we don’t know the extent of your powers. You could possibly have more than what Wanda saw out there, but until you show them somehow we won’t know.” Bruce says to you, Natasha, and Wanda.
“I. Have. Powers.” You say slowly.
“I have powers.”
“I. Have powers.”
“Baby just because you keep saying it doesn’t mean it’s gonna change,” Natasha says laughing.
“But. I. Have powers.” You look at them with big eyes. Still not being able to believe that you have powers.
“Yes baby, you’re gonna wear yourself out if you keep thinking too hard,” Wanda says with a chuckle.
“I have powers!!!!!!” You say with a squeal. You run out of the room screaming down the hall.
“I have powers!!!!” Wanda and Natasha hear you scream down the hall, they laugh and walk out together holding hands.
They find you in the kitchen, breathing heavily and smiling.
“I think you’re gonna need more training, baby, if you’re already out of breath,” Natasha says to you.
“You try running around screaming your head off, it’s not as easy as it seems.” You say back.
“Guys, I have powers,” You squeal out happily.
“Yes baby, we know,” Wanda says back with a smile. You go throughout the day saying you have powers to everyone, and then repeating it randomly whenever you think about it. You tell Wanda and Natasha that you’ve got powers at least 100 times throughout the day. But it doesn’t bother them. They love you and are glad that you're happy, plus they have to deal with a three year old version of you. Oh yeah, you were back to your normal little state now. It seemed like it only affected you for about a week.
When you wake up the next day you’re excited to train with Wanda. You guys decided that the best way to find out all of your powers is to try to train them out of you. Wanda had thrown a 10 pound medicine ball at you and you caught it, sort of. Then she threw a 20 pound medicine ball at you. You did not catch this one, it hit you and you fell to the ground. Luckily you were training on soft matts, otherwise you would’ve cried.
“Okay so super strength is a no go,” Wanda says, helping you up.
“Let’s try super speed.” You and Wanda made your way to the track.
“Okay Y/N I need you to run as fast as you can okay baby?” She asks, you nod your head.
“Okay, ready, set, GO!” She says as she starts the timer, you take off at the fastest pace you can go.
“Am I doing it?!” You yell loud enough for her to hear you. You make it all the way around the track breathing heavily and slightly wheezing.
“Good thing, you don’t have super speed, but you might have asthma,” Wanda says sarcastically.
“Maybe we should try that fire thing again,” Wanda suggests.
“Okay,” You say back.
“Alright, umm, I don’t really know how to help you with this one. I guess just try to light yourself on fire?” You stand there, nothing happens. You try straining your body, still nothing happens. You close your eyes still straining.
“Is she trying to poop?” You hear Nat say. You let go of the breath you were holding and open your eyes to see Natasha holding up her phone.
“You did not!” You say scandalized.
“Oh, yes I did, ooo and it’s a good one too, one for the books” she says with a grin.
“Wanda, make the mean lady go away,” You say with a whine.
“Natasha, no more pictures,” Wanda says with a chuckle.
“Why not, this should be documented,” Natasha says with a pout.
“Well you can document it when something actually happens,” Wanda says.
“Fine, you guys are no fun,” Natasha says, still pouting.
“Awww, don’t pout,” You say going over to her. You kiss her and her pout instantly turns into a smile.
“So what were you trying to do anyways?”
“Trying to light myself on fire,” You say.
“And making a constipated face is the way to do it?” Natasha says with a smile laced in.
“No, I just don’t know how I did it,” You say sadly.
“What were you feeling at that moment?” Natasha asks.
“Well, I was sad because you wouldn’t wake up, but mostly I was angry. I just felt rage towards the Hydra agent.”
“Okay, that’s good. So I want you to think of something that makes you mad, like mad like you felt towards the Hydra agent.” Natasha instructs. You think back to when you received those texts from your ex. You think about your past. You think about all the fights you’ve ever had with Hydra. You start to glow red.
“That’s it baby, keep thinking,” Natasha says. You think about Natasha lying unconscious on the ground. You are set aflame.
“Baby open your eyes,” You open your eyes but you don’t see anything at first, until Wanda holds up a mirror for you to see. You are on fire, your whole body is encased in flames. You don’t feel any different, you’re not overheating or burning. You want to try something.
“Come touch me,” You say to Wanda and Natasha. Natasha was recording you, but stops when she hears your request.
“What? Y/N you’re on fire why would we touch you?” Natasha asks.
“Do you trust me?”
“Well of course we do,” Wanda says.
“Then come hold my hand.” Wanda and Natasha come closer to you, when they don’t feel any heat coming off you they tentatively take the hand you’re holding out for them. When they touch you they don’t burn up or catch fire.
“Wow.” Wanda and Natasha say dumbstruck.
“Okay now watch this,” You say letting go of their hands, walking up to the punching bag. You take a deep breath and press your hand against it. It instantly lights on fire. You let out your breath.
“Wow,” Wanda says in awe. Natasha stares for a moment until she snaps out of it. She quickly goes and gets the fire extinguisher putting the fire out.
“That was awesome baby!” Wanda says hugging you. You relax into her arms and you deignigte yourself. Natasha comes over and hugs you two in a big group hug.
Throughout the day you figure that anger and rage make you light on fire. You find out that you can also shoot fire from your hands. And when you spin around in a circle your hair is like a fiery lasso that releases embers. You couldn’t do the lightning thing that you did when Natasha was unconscious, but at least you unlocked one power.
“Maybe I’m like a mystery superhero. Like in different situations I unlock different powers. Wouldn’t that be so cool? What if I have powers like Wands? Then you could teach me!” You say happily.
“Yes then I could teach you,” Wanda says with a chuckle. You three walk towards your room hand in hand.
