(XD that's okay, haha
& nice drawing!)
Logan:
Logan felt something in the way that Wanda looked at him and Viktor, but he only tilted his head slightly in confusion. He wondered if she knew more about him than he knew about her (after all, he only just met her and knew only that she was very powerful) and, when she stepped forward with her hand outstretched to introduce herself, it made sense. A small chuckle escaped his throat and he nodded, meeting her gaze. "Ah," he said, understanding flashing through his mind. "A Maximoff." He took her hand and gave it a firm shake before sticking his hands in his pockets, leaning back into his heels. "I knew Pietro and your-" He stopped himself from saying 'father'. Maybe it was best to keep the big man out of their conversation. Instead he frowned and said, "Where's Pietro? I haven't seen him in years. How's he doing?"
Cap:
Steve frowned in his team's direction as he waited for the phone to ring. He felt bad about how strict he'd been, but they couldn't afford any nonsense. Maybe... maybe once all this was over, but not yet. Not yet. He let out a sigh, listening to the ringing -- and then he heard Banner's voice. Only, it wasn't coming out of the phone. Steve closed his phone and pocketed it as he turned around to face the man who'd just entered the room. Bruce Banner. This reunion was not something that he expected so soon.
"Dr. Banner," he greeted, taking a step forward with his hand extended in welcome. "It's been a while since we've seen you. You look good." The same probably couldn't be said for him. He was still their strong leader, but after the accords, he'd had to drop his shield, stars, and stripes. His outfit was now a dirtied navy, the red, white, and blue a distant memory, and his hair was long and unruly, a beard now adorning his face. There was a wild, vagabond look about him, which was different than his normal organized and neat persona. He himself hadn't changed so much as his appearance, but the years and events had definitely taken its toll on him. As for his current team, they were all a mess. The years had done a number on all of them, it seemed.
He let out a sigh, ducking his head. "We're doing the best we can," he told Banner. "We've picked up a few allies along the way - and we've also lost some." He thought of the accords and how they hadn't talk to Thor or Tony in a while. Bruce would have been on that list hadn't he been here now. Steve nodded grimly as the conversation became more serious. This was exactly what he had wanted to talk about, but hearing about what Thanos could do... it made his stomach turn. "We heard from Loki that you came face to face with him," he said. "We... haven't met Thanos, but we've met his minions. What else can you tell us about him? He's after Vision's stone... why?"
Bucky:
Bucky watched her hand come to rest on his, and then he met her eyes with seriousness. "It seems like the world can't wait," he told her. "This battle is already upon us... and I think we're going to be fighting against something that we don't fully understand, but we'll just have to fight because we know it's the right thing to do." He frowned then and let out a sigh, closing his eyes. He could feel the emotions coursing through him, forcing him to think in ways he didn't want to. Sometimes you had to lose. Sometimes... sometimes the bad guys won. "We'll win," he told her at last, regaining his composure. "We're not just fighting for us anymore. We're fighting for the world. If we lose... we lose everything. And so... I just think we have to win."
He then let out a smile, matching hers, and nodded. A small bit of emotion dripped into his voice as he laughed. "Yeah," he told her. "Yeah, it'll be a lot of heroes," he said. "A lot of heroes indeed."

istg i forgot Banner saw Thanos/met him until you mentioned something via steve and i was like how much of that movie did i forget?
__
Wanda:
Wanda smiled gently when Logan shook her hand. Alyona spoke highly of the mutant the few times she's interacted with the other mutant, seemingly thankful of the influence he's had in her life. She gently let her hand fall to her side, the other never leaving Vision's grasp. Perhaps it was out of fear she would lose him yet again, or someone might take them by surprise and try to attack. If that happened, she would be ready in striking them away. A weird way to sense the area about her, she supposed. Her green eyes flickered, surprised he asked about Pietro and flinched. It was still a tender topic despite the time she's had to recover. She's only heard of her father once from the youngest Aliyev- and that was when she had fallen silent and didn't dare utter anything else about the mutant she's had to fight against. It was probably how she knew Viktor and Mystique.
"Pietro..." Wanda inhaled gently, looking away from Logan and to her feet. A sort of grief formed over her figure and she seemed to shrink back in size. "Pietro sacrificed himself protecting Clint during the Sokovia incident," she begun to explain softly. "It wasn't Clint's fault," she had to quickly explain, eyes slightly watered as she looked up to Logan then- fearing he might become angry with the archer. "Pietro wanted to help and was afraid that the people who showed us grace would be hurt... So in a final act to correct his wrongs he saved Clint." It caused her to fall silent, remembering as if it just happened a week or two ago. For the most part, she did recover from it, but it was still hard not to have her twin at her side.
Banner:
Bruce gripped Steve's hand and shook it. He was definitely a bit shaken after having run into Thanos. If Heimdall hadn't saved him, he definitely would be dead, floating somewhere in space. It would have been another heavy thing for Thor to have hanging over his shoulders. His eyes shifted, almost glittering with surprise as he heard that Loki told Steve that he was there. So Loki made it out alive and well, huh? But, his mind quickly shifted to the whole new attire that Steve was sporting. It definitely made him look like.. a dad? Bruce didn't know how to exactly describe it besides Steve being a total dad of the group.
Bruce however, somewhat knew that Tony didn't talk to him. He had a small run in with the scientist before he vanished off the planet in an attempt to save Dr. Strange. Speaking of which- the stones and Vision! Bruce suddenly went serious, lifting his glasses off his face and rubbing his eyes before setting his glasses back on. "The other guy was out and he fought Thanos.." Bruce begun seriously. "Thanos overpowered the other guy and beat him," he shook his head, soon looking back to him, continuing, "The stones are the power of the universe. There are five stones in total, and the last time I met Thanos he already had two. He had the Power stone and the Dimension stone. The dimension stone was hidden within the Tesseract, which is how Skull disappeared in front of you all those years ago."
He then gave a brief nod towards Vision, now turning to look at Steve. "Vision is programmed as an Android by Tony. Tony didn't expect the Mind Stone to bring out more of an evolutionary idea that he would actually adapt and grow into a more human being. He's growing smarter because of that stone, and from what I understand its whats keeping him alive. If Thanos' children arrived for the Mind Stone then that means they're way ahead of the game," he inhaled sharply. "And it probably explains why Tony disappeared... He was with Dr. Strange, a person who holds the Time Stone." Oh this wasn't good...
Bruce openly winced, turning and looking out over the base with a grimace. They were getting in over their britches- and he begun to elude with, "Thanos is already the most powerful being in the universe with the Power and Dimension stones. If he collects all five, he's going to complete what he's always wanted. There's nothing we can really do but hide the stones. Destroying the stones causes an imbalance within the universe, so theres not much... options there except as a last resort." He was already thinking, and despite the fact he appeared queezy, he was set on trying make the wrong the right. He was beginning to calculate options and ideas, any way to help Steve and the others as he thought.
Alyona:
Maybe it was selfish reasons, or maybe it was because she knew Steve losing his friend again would cause a lot of heartache, but all she could do in the matter of winning was quietly ask him, "Can you promise me that we wont lose you?" Even if it was an idea that you couldn't really promise much, it was an idea she wished he could. Her smile broadened when the subject was brought up with the idea of many heroes in one room, and even cause a soft laugh. However, the smile didn't quite exactly reach her gaze. Her eyes turned up to a nurse stepping in, her whole body turning rigid as she sat upright and in proper posture.
"Mr. Barnes, excuse me," the nurse murmured, simply beginning her work on the opposite side of him and redressing any wounds that had been originally wrapped. It was soft, but the fresh linen of the bandages were rubbing along scabbed and stitches skin. Alyona was patient, being guided to her feet for her torso and looking at her nicely patched side. Her neck was no problem now that she was up, and all she could do was look at the nurse as she gathered the now pinkish items with gloved hands. "You are free to step out of your room Ms. Aliyev.
With that, Alyona was handed fresher clothing and she stepped to the side and drew a curtain between her and Bucky. She was careful putting on new clothes, and merely set the old ones to the side. She was dressed in a black hoodie with some black sweatpants, her hair still up and that pinkish-red hue. Looking at Bucky, her gaze shifted and she placed her small hands into the pouch and gave a quiet sigh. "Ready to return to the others?" she questioned lightly

Borya slowly nodded. He raised himself up, looking down at the tiny Sofia. “Thank you,” He rumbled to her. His eyes were glittering with warmth, though his head was tilting towards the sky. He was hungry- he didnt know when the last time he ate. He was shuffling on his feet awkwardly, eyes looking over her face before looking down at his feet. How would Alyona react to him being alive? He felt anxiety settle in his chest as he nodded to Sofia, lips parting and ragged wrapped hand covering his broad chest. “A-a-alyona is my sibling..” he whispered, as if afraid to confirm to Sofia that Alyona is blood related. His eyes looked down to his feet, shaking even more. What if she rejects him? What if shes happy hes gone? His jaw clenched then, inhaling sharply
"Alyona is your sibling.. She's your sister, yes?" Sofia asked, looking over her shoulder at the Russian man with the green, green eyes. She wondered if her predictions were right, if he was homeless, how long had he been like that. How long had this man been living alone away from society and apparently his sister, Alyona. That name was so familiar, but she couldn't place her finger on it. |

Borya looked down at Sofia. His footsteps were purposely paced in a way where he wasn't stepping past her within two gigantic footfalls. His gaze was now turning back into her own green gaze, his darker and more evergreen hues glinting slightly. He only turned his head, now at her side and watching the scenery change as they follow through with the path. Hearing her question, the man physically frowned and he nodded. His silvery blonde hair was wild and greasy, his lips curling into frown. Alyona was certainly a woman who was beginning to recover from his own cruelty. She didn't deserve what he had done- and he was beginning to look guilty.
"Alyona Aliyev- my young sister. She is being stronger from me... I... had hurting her," his broke up english was grating on his own ears, his mind well aware and capable of being able to form proper English grammar structures. It was sometimes difficult- especially since he had only lived with himself for so long. How long? Unknown- even by him. All he could really remember was waking up in the morgue from when Bucky had shot him point blank range from a headshot. This was something he could clearly remember, and it had undone all the process of reprogramming by the Russian scientists that had hurt him, and ruined his sister's reputation amongst the Russian community.
It was then, his mind was beginning to play to the tune of the English language once again and his eyes were now landing on Sofia. "I wasn't a very good person." His accent was still there but he wasn't as broken from his own mother tongue.

Vision:
Vision watched silently as Wanda introduced him and herself to Logan and Viktor. When Logan mentioned Pietro, though, Vision's gaze darted to her at his side, watching the visible grief overwhelm her demeanor. He clearly remembered the day of the battle, the day Ultron had caused so much suffering and destruction. He remembered how Pietro's death tore Wanda apart, how she'd sought out Ultron to rip out his heart and make him pay. Vision had rescued her afterwards before she could've been destroyed with the falling city. He'd watched as they'd trained together as new members of the Avengers how long it took for her to recover from the loss of her brother, though he knew the pain never really left her. Vision hated to see Wanda have to remember so abruptly again, to have to recount the whole thing to Logan. It wasn't fair. She'd gone through so much already, and now Thanos wanted to put her through more. Vision gave her hand a gentle squeeze in hopes of comforting her.
Speaking of Thanos, Vision listened intently as Dr. Banner explained, his unease growing with every word. So, this meant that the most powerful being in the universe would stop at nothing until Vision was dead. And he would then use the stone in Vision's head to perform who knew what terrible deeds. But if Banner was right, if Thanos was really so powerful, how would hiding help? Thanos would search every crevice of the Earth until he found them. And if he'd found the first two stones so easily… who's to say he wouldn't do it again? Vision felt his stomach churn at the thought. He couldn't hide around and let that happen. But against the most powerful being in the universe, what could be done?

(I'm glad I could re-kindle some memories XD)
Logan:
Logan had been smiling. But that quickly disappeared when he realized the wound he'd opened. "Oh, I-" He looked down at his hands and rubbed his knuckles. He was silent for a moment, always unsure how to act in these situations, and then he cleared his throat, looking back to Wanda to see the damage he'd done. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything. Pietro was a good kid." He stopped fumbling with his hands and crossed his arms. "I couldn't trust many - I still don't - but... he was different. I liked him." And now he bit his tongue, hoping he hadn't said the wrong thing or too much. Opening his mouth always seemed to do him some good, now didn't it? Even his thoughts were dripping sarcasm and doubt.
Cap:
Steve crossed his arms and leaned back into his heels as he listened to Bruce talk. His eyes widened at parts and he made faces at others. A mix of emotions seemed to fill his mind, but the most prominent was fear. Fear that this was a lot bigger than they had ever faced before. Fear that for once his team wouldn't be enough. But he didn't relay any of that outwardly. If he showed that he was fearful as the leader, how would that look to the rest of them? "Beat the Hulk?" Steve said, surprised. He whistled. "So... this guy really is powerful, isn't he?"
His thoughts drifted back to the 1940s when he'd fought the Skull. He'd seen then the incredible power that the tesseract had alone, and he'd sacrificed his life to keep that thing out of the hands of people who were after its power. When it resurfaced in New York and Loki used its power, that had been just as bad. The space stone in the hands of the wrong person was not a good image - and he couldn't even begin to think of how powerful it must be coupled with the power of five other infinity stones.
And he had an idea about just how powerful those other stones were alone, as well. If the tesseract and Vision were any testament to that -- Thanos was definitely a force to be reckoned with. Steve let his eyes trail to Vision, the android whose life-force was powered by the mind stone lodged in his forehead. "Well," he said, his voice steady, "at least we now have an agenda." His eyes moved from the glowing stone in Vision's head to Vision himself. "We have to protect Vision. If Thanos is after all the stones, we have to make sure that he doesn't get them and that Vision stays alive." He let his eyes trail back to Bruce for a moment. "Vision has one, and you said that Thanos has two right now. Do we know where the remaining three are that he doesn't have? Maybe there's someone we can contact to keep those ones out of Thanos' hands."
He hated to ask so many questions, especially because he knew they were all pretty confused about what was going on, but Bruce seemed to know a lot more about the subject than any of them, so he continued to implore. He didn't want to go into this battle blind.
(omsc... the dad XDD)
Bucky:
Bucky took his hand from her and slowly shook his head, a sad smile upon his features. "You know I can't promise something like that," he told her. "I'm a soldier. I fight where fighting needs to be done - and I'm never sure what that's going to look like or how it's going to end. But I do it." He let out a sigh and stated the sad truth, "I can't promise that any of us are going to make it out of this, Alyona, even if we do win."
He then looked over at the nurse as she entered the room and stepped aside, his eyes moving towards the ground. He waited as the nurse helped Alyona and then as Alyona put on a fresh set of clothes. He leaned against the bed's side table and stared off into space, his mind everywhere but the present. When Alyona's words found his ears, he jumped, nearly knocking over the lamp behind him. He turned around and steadied it before nodding to her. "I'm ready," he told her. "I need to talk to Steve, see what's going on," he said. "Are... are you ready?" He didn't know how long it would take for her to heal. Despite looking better, she still didn't look great. She'd be sitting out of this fight if he had any say about it.

It was then, his mind was beginning to play to the tune of the English language once again and his eyes were now landing on Sofia. "I wasn't a very good person." His accent was still there but he wasn't as broken from his own mother tongue.
As much as she wished her were with her family, Sofia enjoyed the compound. It was nicer than her home in Spain ever was, and thanks to much of Tony Stark's technology she was able to practice and hone her abilities without actually practicing with a person and possibly harming them, sometimes she was unable to control the full extent of her powers after all, lightning can be pretty unpredictable at times. Sofia admired Wanda Maximoff, the way she controlled and channeled her abilities was enviable, especially for Sofia's sporadic ability to manipulate her own powers. The young Latina saw the outline of the compound appear and was suddenly self-conscious. She hadn't really befriended any of the Avengers, she felt more like Daisy Johnson had hired them to babysit her so bringing this stranger into their home seemed like a bad idea to her, or maybe that was her overthinking everything. She wanted to impress and befriend the Avengers and join their team and help save Earth, and suddenly she thought she would never be able to do that. Now a million ways this could go wrong popped into her head and Sofia began to second guess her choice, but the man's words interrupted her thoughts.
His broken English was difficult to understand, but got the jist of it. Borya had hurt Alyona, and a part of her wanted to know how and what exactly he had done to her. Maybe bringing him right to the doorstep of the people who could find his sister wasn't that great of an idea. Her golden-brown eyes narrowed against the rising sun as the outline of the compound became clear and the bold A beamed out before them, signalling they had arrived. An arm reached behind her back, pulling at the ends of her ponytail nervously. "What exactly happened with you and your sister?" Sofia inquired, approaching the door, hand outstretched to open it, she planned on making a beeline with him to a secluded part of the fortress, maybe they could solve the mystery of his sister without having to bother any of the Avengers or anyone else in the building. |

Wanda:
Wanda looked at Logan, giving a gentle smile. A feeling of relief washed over her frame when Vision squeezed her hand, her own now gently squeezing his in return. "Pietro would be honored to hear that from you," Wanda told Logan kindly, her smile broadening ever more. However, as she found her gaze stooping, she felt her ears prick to the sound of Bruce's words. Her heart sank, smile fading and a frown now present on her lips. Worry was now present on her mind, eyes flicking between the two men and now beginning to think of all and any options she and Vision would have to face.
She's worked so hard to keep anything that she has close. She worked so much and so hard just to keep Vision at her side despite the differences and fights they had been forced to undergo. Her footsteps shuffled, causing her to step back and she instantly pressed into Vision's side. Wanda had to be strong, despite the hot tears that blurred half of her vision. Her head tilted upwards, sniffling quietly as she stood there with a tensing figure. She had to hear the scientist out- it wouldn't be fair of her to completely ignore what he's said and just go into hiding with Vision.
Though, as Wanda spared her lover a glance she felt the memories of Pietro fall back into place all over again. Fate wouldn't be so cruel and take him away from her, would it? A tear streaked down one cheek, and she used her free hand to quickly smear it away before anyone saw. Her jaw clenched, lips curling into a heavy frown and staring at Bruce and Steve intently then.
[im so old i need it kay lol]
Bruce:
Bruce was seemingly... somewhat aware of the rampant emotions beginning to appear through Steve. His dark gaze switched over his face and eyes, intently studying his leader and gauging what he was seeming to react to. His own gaze turned, looking to Vision and then Wanda before looking at the android that acted like a human in so many ways. His face immediately went more serious- but it was the kind when he was focused on a set project. He pulled off his glasses, putting them in his sweatshirt pocket and looking back up to Steve.
"I approached a man named Dr. Strange after Heimdall transported me from the fight I've had with Thanos," he begun to explain. "Dr. Strange has the time stone- but a report in New York from one of Thanos' children has just left. Tony disappeared along with it- so wherever they're going... Is in space. I can't say where the other two are. They could be here on Earth or they could be in the far reaches of the galaxy. We don't have the technology, engineering, nor time to be able to get there fast enough and stop Thanos. Thor is... somewhere, and if Loki is here then maybe we can find a way to contact Thor that way. He might know where the other two are."
His eyes searched his leader, then turning to Vision. "I dont know how they track the stones, but he didn't know where the Tesseract was. I'm assuming he'll have a somewhat difficult time searching for Vision if we hide him away well enough," he suggested then, giving a small ray of hope for Wanda. Even if she didn't express it via facial expressions, Banner could tell by her body language that she was listening to every word he was saying- and intently. Her eyes were flickered up to him, and the scientist then went on, "Its an idea, and it seems to be true with every... well, explanation I've thought of. He may have a power stone and a space stone, but he won't have the mind stone that easily. He had a hard time with locating the tesseract. The worse he could do is maybe threaten us with trying to hurt one of us."
Bruce was being full on agent now. His jaw was set, his lips sealed for a moment before he continued with a question towards Steve, "Is there anywhere you know that's been off the grid for awhile? That's hard to detect via technology? That could buy us time to get ready." If it was to grant Wanda a bit of reprieve and for others to get geared up, then he would. It was important and he needed to make sure everyone got a chance to get ready before Thanos. Thanos would strike if they were ready or not; that was how extreme this being was going. Hulk knew too- perhaps why he didn't want to come out to fight.
(what dad im so confused HELP)
Alyona:
Alyona knew it was selfish to ask him, and hearing his answer of being unable to keep the promise only made her nod in understanding. Perhaps it was wish- but everyone could wish, couldn't they? Her hands in her pockets, she found a smile gracing her lips when he jumped and nearly took out a lamp. "Always ready," she nodded then, taking a slow step forward before confidently walking out beside him. He was bigger than she was, and she had to send a glance up to him before looking on ahead. Natasha had already set off, presumably to go and see what was happening. However, the more they walked on, the more Alyona had to look slightly worried.
She could sense the room, aware that Logan and Viktor was off to the left with Wanda and Vision, however Steve was accompanied by someone new. Her steps faltered, briefly pausing at the doors that slid open to reveal her and Bucky as she looked at her leader. Alyona immediately gripped Bucky's metallic hand out of her own fear, her minty hues wide and skin slightly pale. "He's afraid Bucky... I don't like that fear he's giving off," Alyona uttered to him, almost afraid of speaking herself. Her jaw clenched, unable to move from her spot. Wanda seemed to be worried with Vision- the unknown man beside Steve gave off that same fearful vibe; Viktor and Clint were uneasy and Logan seemed to feel guilty about something.
She's never felt this intense fear herself in a long time. The energy and vibe she was sensing from Steve was making her uneasy, and she was beginning to feel flighty. Steve never felt or gave off this vibe ever- so who was it that was causing this?
Borya:
Borya was secluded to his own thoughts and worries. It wasn't just her that was thinking about the things between him and his family. His thoughts were muddled, bringing up painful memories he had done in an act to spite his little sibling who was only trying to save him. The iron branding tattooed upon his skin was that marking of his... succumbs. He was no saint- in fact if you ask Alyona she would give you every list and reason to be afraid but yet turn around and tell you, he can change. Borya isn't the man he once was, and he never will be. The whole scientist who had lied about who hurt him, had gotten everything he deserved after Borya had awakened from the Morgue.
After the scientist, he had moved on and paid a mournful visit to his parent's graves. They had been middle aged when he had killed them, and each time he stepped foot in Russia after awaking, he went to them and asked for forgiveness. He even went to a Cathedral and begged for forgiveness of his sins and actions. No matter how many times he's washed his hands and flicked the Holy Water in the sign of a cross over his figure, he could feel the blood all over his hands and skin. It was weird to him, feeling conscious that there was dry, red liquid on your pale skin and when you go to pick it off, its not there.
His ever-green hues lifted up from the slight diagonal direction downwards, watching where they had been walking and merely sending her a glance when they approached the door. His brows had arched, genuinely surprised she was curious as to what he had done. Now looking away, he gave a heavy sigh and closed his eyes. Better fess up, shouldn't he?
"I hunted her down," he begun seriously, gaze now opening up. He stepped inside the compound, a sort of jolt jittering his massive frame. He knew Alyona could sense it too; his gaze was turning to the right hand door. She was that direction. But- no matter. He would finish his story, and so, thats what Borya did. "I was influenced to believe she had harmed me during a stage of my life by a scientist from Hydra. I was an experiment to see if the suppressed Mutant genes within humans could be awakened-" he inhaled, body coming to a stop and figure literally dropping to sit down, "And it worked. I have healing factor and super strength. If you know of how Wolverine heals- its like that but... slower."
"I was hunting her- I created a scar over her diaphragm after one mission when we were SHIELD agents. I was almost successful hadn't Director Fury managed to call in and check on us-" he paused, eyes glazing over, "from our position in Russia. I had killed our parents to spite my sister, wanting her to suffer as much as I had. Anyways, we were lifted from our location and flown into a base in D.C. That was when Captain Rogers discovered Hydra within SHIELD and disbanded everything." His lips pursed, as if to recall more painful memories, "We were on the run. I was a wanted Hydra Criminal and Alyona was my target running from me. She was discovered by Steve's group and we were shipped to Wakanda. From there, I compromised my position and identity, in attempt to kill them all and burning down a base." His eyes shifted to the floor to ceiling windows, jaw jaunting. What else was he missing? Oh yes- his hunt. "They fled to mainland- I thought I killed them. When the Red Skull showed up and won the presidential election, I worked for him as an agent. Alyona showed up not long later and it was my mission to kill her once and for all. It turns out the Winter Soldier took her under his wing and I was shot point blank range-" he pointed to his forehead, now locking eyes with Sofia and making a gesture like he was shooting.
"Three days later I woke up in a Morgue in Russia. My funeral had been prepared by my richer relatives- they still held it believing I was dead as I placed a fake body in my place- and moved on. I paid respects to my parents, asking for forgiveness by not only them but.. the church," his jaw clenched, eyes now lowering to his clenching hands and scowling. "I still feel all that blood on my skin and yet nothing has been able to rid of that feeling. I've tried finding Alyona, but I couldn't find her. So I went away to hiding, thinking that she would get a piece of mind believing that I was dead. It might mean I'm secluded, but that means... she's happy. Thats all I want her to be after everything I've done."

There seemed to be many thoughts running through this man's mind, but Sofia patiently waited for him to tell her what exactly he was thinking. Some things weigh more heavily on others, so she imagined this was something that bothered him immensely, by the way he showed his pain and felt remorse for whatever he had done to his sister. Sofia was blessed to have the life she did, before her terrigenesis. If he wasn't willing to tell her what he did she would understand, everyone had their secrets and not everyone was eager to share those secrets, especially when it came to family, Sofia herself was tight-lipped about her family's issues, they weren't anyone's but her own. Borya's heavy sigh brought her caramel colored eyes back to his towering figure.
The Russian man surprised her as he began telling her everything. Her mind began reeling as he told her the story of he and his sister and suddenly it all clicked and she knew where she knew the name Alyona from. Sofia recalled from right there! The Avengers had spoken of her and a few times she was sure she had seen her at the very base, she even stayed there. By the way Borya was telling the story, it sounded like she needed to take him as far away from this compound as she could. He was on a mission to kill his sister, sent by a HYDRA agent, and her heart felt for this man, who had a sister he surely loved deeply, but his interpretation was mangled and mishandled and turned into something cold and dark and wrong by some scientist who thought they knew best. Borya then stopped walking and dropped to the ground and Sofia halted in her tracks, her hands fidgeted with the hem of her black shirt, which read AC-DC in a very faded and faint, white print. Her eyes nervously flitted back and forth in the building, waiting at any moment for someone to walk by and see her standing next to a strange man, but her worries were pushed to the back of her mind as Borya continued recounting his family history.
If Sofia had a chair, she would be on the edge of it. She herself had never been experimented on by anyone, but she still felt bad for Borya, who had killed his parents and attempted to kill his sister, all while being forced to do so. She wondered if he knew in his subconscious, at the time, what was happening. If his poor mind was trying with all its might to stop whatever the HYDRA agent was forcing him to do, it sent a chill down her spine, and Sofia visibly shivered. So far, it seemed like she should get the man away from here, or at least from Alyona, who could've been only around a corner for all she knew. Sofia drew her lip between her teeth and squatted down so she was eye-level with Borya, and he raised a hand to his head, acting like he was firing a gun. Bucky shot him, point-blank, straight to the head. He was brutal, but clearly that was a trend of brain-washed victims.
"So.. what," Sofia wondered aloud as she thought, "So, the blunt trauma to your brain, what, re-wired what HYDRA put in there? Fixed what they messed up?' Sofia guessed, rubbing her forehead in thought as her eyebrows knit together. This had been an intense recounting and Sofia was surprised he was still on his feet, if she were in his position, she was sure she wouldn't be strong enough to fight through, she was weak. "I understand you want to find Alyona, but I would say to prepare for the worse. All this time you were not in control of yourself, but I'm sure it will still be a lot to process." Sofia murmured, standing up and walking toward the general area where there were laptops she could use to help Borya find Alyona, as Sofia wasn't sure where she was in that moment.

Vision:
Vision desperately wanted to cling on the hopeful possibility Banner offered, the possibility that Thanos would have trouble finding them, but it sounded almost too good to be true in this situation. The fact that Thanos found the Tesseract at all when it could've been anywhere in the galaxy, or even in another galaxy, was significant. It might take him years, but that didn't mean he wouldn't find them too. There was still a possibility for things to go wrong, and possibilities could change everything.
Take Dr. Strange, for example. One of Thanos’ children had found him and Mr. Stark, and now they were in space. A completely unannounced attack. And two other children of Thanos had ambushed Vision and Wanda almost immediately after they saw the news of Mr. Stark's disappearance. It wasn't a good sign. But Vision wasn't willing to give up hope. If there was a possibility they could hide somewhere and avoid detection, he would try it and wish for the best. There was a chance they could all make it out of this alive, even if it was small. And Vision would hope for it, if not for him, then for Wanda. He'd noticed the way she pressed closer to him, and he knew she was afraid for the same reason he was. He couldn't give up and let Thanos hurt her. He would take every chance he got until there wasn't the slightest hope left.

Logan:
Logan nodded grimly, not daring to open his mouth this time. Instead, he crossed his arms and assumed a similar pose to Steve, even inclining his neck slightly in that direction to listen to what the Captain and the Green One had to say (although, Logan had to admit he was expecting a bit more from the doctor-scientist-whatever-he-was. When was the Green One actually... green?). He cast a sideways glance towards Viktor to see how the other man was taking all of this information.
Cap:
Doctor Strange? How many powered people were there? Sometimes he forgot that he lived in a world where that kind of thing was normal. Powered people were popping up left and right - but, then, he was glad to have all the heroes he could at his side. They needed all the help they could get at this point. "Doctor Strange... has the time stone... and he's with Tony in space?" Steve said the words slowly as they mulled over in his mind. At least now he knew that Tony was off fighting instead of keeping in the shadows. But, regardless of the Sokovia Accords, Steve knew it was inevitable that they'd always do what was right. No government legislation was going to keep them at bay when the world was at stake. He admired that, after all this time, Tony hadn't lost the fight in him.
Still, it didn't make him feel any better knowing that his allies were off fighting somewhere in space alone. Was it just Tony and this Doctor Strange? Or were there other friends among them? Thanos and his children seemed very powerful, and Steve wasn't sure how long the both of them were going to last alone. I wish you would have called, he thought to himself. I know we've got a lot going on on our end too, but I wish you would have called. We could have come up with a better plan that would have given us better odds...
Now, it seemed like the team was still divided and it was going to stay that way. Steve let out a sigh. Maybe it was for the best. At least someone was out there fighting. If they held up their end and Tony held up his, they had a chance. Only... Tony didn't know that Steve's crew was going to be fighting, too. Would he fight as hard if he thought their chances were slim? Hold on, he thought, wishing he could reach Tony's mind, we're going to hold on for as long as we can, too.
Steve's gaze was focused on Bruce. "We will have to make the time," he told the man. "In a time like this, we can't afford to have any doubts. We will make the time and we will stop Thanos. If you say that Doctor Strange and Tony are off fighting, at least we know that someone is. And if they find anyone else, maybe they can spread the word. I don't know where Thor is, but he is obviously as aware of the issue as you are. If he is okay, we know he's on our side and he'll be fighting too. Loki was on the jet with us, so maybe we can ask for his help. As for advanced technology and engineering and somewhere to protect Vision--"
His eyes fell upon Bucky as his best friend entered the room with Alyona, and Bucky gave a single nod, immediately coming to an understanding. Wakanda. T'Challa and Shuri would help them. "We know a place," Steve said, feeling a rush of relief find his body. He didn't know why he hadn't thought of it before. His Wakandan friends had technology and power that could be vital in helping them. There was a protective dome around the territory that would buy them time, as well as technology that could save Vision's life. They'd saved Bucky's...
Bucky:
Bucky entered the room and was surprised to see how many people were gathered there, including Bruce Banner. He lifted his eyebrows. He'd never actually met the man before, but he'd heard a bunch about him. Oddly, the doctor looked a lot... scrawnier than he had been expecting. But, knowing what he was capable of, he didn't doubt the man. Not only was he one of the smartest scientists, he was also very powerful as the Hulk.
He looked down at Alyona's hand as it touched his, and then he looked at Steve as he spoke with the others. He looked like a man of authority and charge, but as he heard Alyona's words, he knew his friend was just trying to be strong for all of them. He never was one to back down from a fight. Steve was always ready, even if his foe was a lot bigger than he was. "He's doing his best," Bucky said, not taking his eyes off of his friend. "Whatever we're up against... it must be big."
He then zoned into what Steve was saying with the others. Wakanda. Wakanda was the only place he could think of that would give them a chance. He raised his eyes to meet Steve's, and he saw that his friend was looking right at him. With a confirming nod, his friend said, "We know a place." And Bucky muttered, "Wakanda."

20/10 ready for more action
---
Borya:
Borya watched her figure closely, weary she might try to double cross him or it was a dirty trick that would land him in another grave. His evergreen hues shifted intently, watching her rise up from her squatting position and he slowly rose onto his feet. He was squatting on his haunches, his lips drawn to a thin line and narrowing his gaze before looking down at the floor. He certainly didn't know what caused his rewiring to snap and crumble- but he knew that he was now fully aware of his actions and trying not to let his inner demons win. Slowly, the massive man rose to stand up, eyes searching her back and then slowly trailing after her.
"Alyona showed me grace before I was killed," He told her, his jaw clenching slightly. "She has the power of empathy, a certain wavelength of emotional energy that is easily transferred between others if she's not careful. Instead of using the hate I've held for her she gave me her grief and sorrow; she made me feel the fear she's held and the small lingering of hope that I would have been able to change," he explained gently, lips curling into a small frown. "And once you feel that experience of... fear and grief, it throws into perspective for you that the pain is common between the two. If she clung on for so long that she wanted me okay, then why not set on a path of being better?"
His massive frame stood behind Sofia, his gaze down over her shoulder before he rumbled, "Alyona is to our right." The energy was different, and he could feel the sort of mental intrusion of emotions from Alyona. She wasn't focused on him or Sofia or anyone else besides Steve Rogers. Borya didn't know who she was truly focused on and why, but he could sense from her presence that something drastic was happening. However, his massive figure turned and he caught a hand, Natasha's eyes shifting up and staring at the tall Russian.
"Im not here to hurt you... I was alerted the two of you entered," Natasha softly coaxed, feeling her hand being released from a large palm and she gently set her hand on his bicep.
Viktor:
Viktor's brows were furrowed with concentration. His eyes were flicking between the group, once settling his gaze on Bucky and Alyona before turning his own sights and settling it onto Steve and Bruce. He only sent his brother a small glance, as if confirming that he was doing alright. His head was just reeling over the thought of someone from outer space was more powerful than the gods of Asguard. And Bruce- he was refering to the Big Green Guy as "the other guy"? Was he inclined to an alter ego? He kept his sights now on Steve; this place, he just hoped they wouldn't bring any more terror to the lifelines of those who helped. Vision had been in bad shape, and now they were seemingly deciding his fate.
How cruel is fate?
Banner and Wanda:
Bruce watched his leader intensely. He was worried about the quickly dwindling options. His gaze shifted to Vision, soon looking back to Steve and almost wringing his hands together nervously. His lips were pursed together, thinking of how Tony and Dr. Strange were sent after Thanos' child. That one manipulated magic, almost bending metal and making any object float. It was like Magneto- but on an uglier and larger scale. But not that Bruce could compare it to him; he was only thinking of how he was narrowly crushed by the one that was just as large as Hulk and was transported to the frozen lands. Thanksfully Dr. Strange's friend was there to create that portal.
His ears pricked, eyes now glittering when Steve proposed the plan of buying time and knowing a place. He hadn't met T'Challa, so this would be an eventual walk in wonderland. They would need to get to their destination fast. Thanos' children didn't play games, so this would be important for everyone to get a head start on this group. "Where is it? Can we get there fast?" he questioned, now looking relieved and excited himself. His eyes searched his leader, seemingly unaware of his tense position and the fact that he was so worried about not being able to deal with Thanos.
"We are going to need a head start on Thanos if we can get there quickly. Anything is going to be needed in order to hold them at bay," he suggested, all the while thinking to himself on finding a way to get the other guy to come out. Bruce's mind was reeling at insane speeds, almost bouncing off the walls out of nervousness and excitement. His eyes were glittering, and he didn't catch onto Wanda's now growing hope.
Wanda looked up at Vision, eyes twinkling. Her lips were curling up into a faint smile, even though she was well aware of the drastic sense of the situation. She was intent on letting her hope spread to Vision, trying to reassure him that they would find ways to stay alive and beat such a powerful being. Surely, there were bigger fish in the sea to stop him, right? And even if the Asguardians couldn't kill him right away, maybe with all of their combined abilities and powers, they could win.
So, she gently squeezed Vision's hand and looked to Steve, almost asking if they were to go to Wakanda once again. It was like Team Steve's second home, which was really nice. T'Challa and Shuri were absolute angels and took care of Bucky well. If it weren't for them, surely a lot of things that happened, wouldn't have. She sent a nervous glance at Bucky and Alyona, knowing full well that Alyona would have been dead and probably Borya too. Wanda knew that Steve probably wouldn't have been able to live with himself knowing that someone helping them would be dead. Especially under his watch.
Alyona:
Alyona was watching Steve for one long moment, letting go of Bucky's hand when she felt that fear change into relief. Her hands returned to their sweatshirt pouch, watching them tiredly. Wakanda was something that she could briefly remember; it was when they fled and were trying to stop Borya. She didn't get to meet T'Challa nor Shuri, as she spent much of days on a distant base holed up in her room. So, when she sent Bucky an upwards glance and a brief smile to Steve, she turned her attention to Logan.
Her smaller frame moved from Bucky's side, as if quietly and gently shuffling to the other mutant and merely came to his side. She wanted to hear more of the situation, only catching the tail end of Bruce's words and curiously peering at the man. She had read files about him, knowing that when he would get angry there was really no other charm besides Natasha to soothe him. That had been the case during the Age of Ultron; She was aware there was a natural spark and attraction between the two. Her mind immediately flickered over to Vision, big minty eyes shifting over the Android and now at peace he was okay.
She simply shrank next to Logan, aware to not touch him but somehow hide in a way into his side. He was warm, she was cold, and she could clearly hear what was happening. That put her a bit more at ease.

Vision:
As Captain Rogers claimed he knew a place to go, Barnes and Alyona arrived from the same corridor Vision and Wanda had, the corridor to the healing rooms. Vision heard Barnes mutter its name: Wakanda. He hadn't heard much about the place, mainly things about shepherds, textiles, cool outfits, the like. And that it had access to vibranium: the strongest metal on Earth; the metal with which Vision had been made. Also the metal which notably hadn't been strong enough to resist his attacker's blade. Anyway, even after Wakanda stopped living in isolation from the rest of the world, Vision didn't hear a lot about them other than the occasional snippet about them sharing resources and help as he glanced at the news. It seemed more of a place Rogers’ team was involved with, not something Mr. Stark would take time to explain to Vision. He figured he would understand soon enough. Besides, Wanda looked like she knew the place and approved of the choice to go, smiling hopefully up at Vision and squeezing his hand. If she trusted that Wakanda would be a good place to hide, then he would trust it too. Anything would be better than having nowhere to go and no way to prepare for Thanos’ eventual arrival.
