The Elder Maximoff Ch.1: Hail Hydra

The Elder Maximoff Ch.1: Hail Hydra

Ch.2

Pietro's POV:

I was waiting in the shadows of the cell with Wanda, our sister still hasn't come back from the experimentation lab in HYDRA. It has been nearly four days so I was starting to get worried.

Every time we ask Strucker where she is he never gives a straight answer, just says she is still understanding her abilities. We couldn't do anything though, apparently she was still learning to control her abilities since they were the most complex HYDRA has ever seen.

According to Strucker her powers include umbrakinesis(ability to control shadows), darkness manipulation, telepathy, and mental manipulation.

Apparently there are also a few other powers she has but Strucker refused to tell us. I was still worried though and Wanda hasn't been the same since they took our sister away.

I hope she gets a handle on everything soon, I don't think Wanda or myself can go much longer without her.

Three Years Later

Corvina's POV:

It has been quite a while since I've seen my brother or sister. Each day I was tortured and injected with some sort of serums. It has happened so many times that I can no longer feel the burning pain that comes.

HYDRA told me that I would receive powers if the treatment went right, but they still seemed to not be finished. I'm not sure how much longer these tests will continue.

I've had my legs and arms broken in these many torture sessions, but as a result from the tests I've gained Osteokinesis, which allows me to make my bones stronger or into weapons, like forming claws out of the bones in my body. It's kind of cool, but really painful.

_______

Pietro's POV:

Wanda and I were in the back of the control room with Strucker, we haven't seen our sister in a long time, and whenever we look for her we're punished.

Strucker kept telling us that she was fine but I'm well beyond pissed and Wanda was a mixture of anger and concern for what happened to her. After all, usually if the test subjects didn't come back it meant they were dead from the results of the serums.

We are currently inside the control room, which had many soldiers buzzing around, checking the equipment and surveillance comms, when a speaker started saying loudly, 'Avengers are attacking, this is not a drill'.

While Strucker and another man were debating over something I grabbed Wanda and bolted out to the battle ground. All we ever wanted from an early point in our life was to hurt Stark for what he did to our family, and now we had that chance.

It was snowing, Wanda went back slightly to be near the fort so she could mess with the avengers who got past me. As for myself, I first went after the archer since he looked like the kind of guy just to annoy, also he was taking out the turrets.

_______

This is the first day in a long time that I'm outside of my cell. At first I thought it was for them to torture or inject with more serums, or maybe more training, but they led me into another room that was completely empty apart from a chair.

Before I could even ask why, they shoved me into the room and slammed the door shut. I sat in the chair, and that's when they started a video of some sort.

It was soon after they started it that I realized it was a video my younger brother and sister being tortured. I tried to contain the intense anger I felt, but when I heard them let out a scream; it was too much. I felt my newest power forming, a telekinetic blast as the scientists call it.

I looked down and saw a black mist shadow that curled around my hands. I was now infuriated, and when I heard another scream from the video I yelled out in anger and felt a huge force of power explode through me. I looked around and saw that the room had burst into rubble.

A black cloud surrounded the room, my umbra-kinetic power asserting itself as it did whenever I felt threatened or angered. It allowed me to blend in with the shadows.

Soon after, the room exploded, soldiers filing in, guns pointed at the dark shadow mist surrounding them. They could not see me so I decided to shroud them in more darkness, quickly slipping out of the room.

I was rushing down the hallways looking for my siblings when an alarm sounded saying that the avengers were here. I was searching frantically now for a way outside, knowing that my siblings heard the alarm and would want to kill the avengers, and as their eldest sibling I have to protect them.

I turned and saw the exit, as I ran outside I saw a frozen lake, with fresh powdery snow surrounding it.

When I neared the ice lake, it reflected like a mirror so I looked down to see my reflection since I haven't seen one in I believe two or three years. I looked down and was slightly surprised at what looked back. In my reflection I saw that I was skinny but muscular, with black strands of hair that was short and wavy, instead of my before experimentation dark brown hair.

I also noticed that my outfit that I was wearing before my powers came changed. Instead of a black shirt and leggings I wore at the base, they morphed into metal armor that was rugged looking and made me look more intimidating than normal.

It fit tightly and was like a crop top with long sleeves, with black ripped tight jeans, I was also wearing black steel toe boots that looked formidable, but were meant for the outside.

I turned around and was about to continue when I saw the figure of my sister walking towards the base.

"Well you look much more different than I remember." I voiced, my accent quite prominent against the relative silence. She turned and saw me, her eyes widened slightly as she ran over and embraced me. I returned the embrace and after a couple of seconds stood back. She looked into my eyes, tears gathering as her breathing hitched.

"Corvina? We searched and searched, but we couldn't find you...." Her voice trembled, her accent slurring some of her words.

"Shhhhh... It's okay Wanda, I'm here now and I'm not leaving." She nodded, releasing her from the embrace just as the scared voice of Strucker emanated from inside the base.

I looked at Wanda, and then motioned for her to grab my arm. She was confused but did. I looked in my mind to one of the halls nearest to where Strucker was that I remembered.

I looked around and saw the shadow black mist surrounding us. Wand was slightly scared since she tightened her grip around my arm, but in a moment the shadow withdrew and we were outside the room.

The Elder Maximoff Ch.2: Captain

The Elder Maximoff Ch.2: Captain

Ch.1 Ch.3

Wanda and I walked through some halls until we saw a man in a blue outfit with a shield threatening Strucker. Wanda came up behind him, circulating some red mist through her hands before forcefully striking this man backwards while I stuck out my foot, thus tripping him; which caused him to fall down some stairs.

Wanda quickly grabbed me, but before she could leave I was hit from behind by some metal object, which caused me to fall. I turned around to see the soldier grab his shield which he must've hit me with. I narrowed my eyes into slits while Wanda turned around to see what was stopping me.

Before she could do anything the soldier threw his shield at Wanda, and hit her in the ribs causing her to collapse in pain. I looked at the man who was now standing behind me, when I felt long white fangs that resembled that of a tiger grow in my mouth.

I looked at his arm which was now grabbing my arm and I lunged, viciously biting him.

He let out a surprised and pained yelp before letting go of me, and kicking my legs out so I fell to the ground. I landed on my shoulder as the Captain grabbed my arms and clicked something around my wrists to keep me from leaving or helping Wanda.

Strucker now said something to taunt him, he said, "Well captain I never thought you could beat them. After all, they are far more advanced than some skeleton that should have been left in the ocean to rot." He was obviously giving us time to escape, however he was quickly silenced with a hit to the gut by the captain's shield.

I tried to use some unknown powers and felt like I was suddenly weightless, I looked at my arm and saw only darkness. Wanda slightly gasped quietly, seeing that I had these powers but the captain heard and turned around. He then went over and picked up what I presume was the cuffs he used. He stood up and faced where I was as a shadow and said,

"Where did she go? These cuffs even cause the prisoner to follow the person who captured them." I got up and stood behind him before reappearing in my human form. Wanda saw me and looked over slightly, but that was enough for Cap to turn around.

"Listen you guys are just kids I don't want t-" he was cut off when I used my osteokinetic powers to create long, curved, pale white claws that I clawed at him with. Wanda had recovered from his hit by now, and used her magic to get into his head.

I took the liberty of placing a long, but thin scratch across his face from his forehead to the lower left side of his jaw. I then pushed him to the ground, while I motioned for Wanda to come closer. She did, but gave me a questioning look before I grabbed her a hand and shrouded us in a thick black layered shadow.

When we reappeared we were outside in the snow, Wanda was searching for Pietro while I was causing mayhem. I saw an amazing thing to ruin over near a clearing surrounded by a couple of trees.

I saw who I presume was Black Widow making the Hulk go back into his human form. I crept around and saw that he was turning back to normal, I took this as my shot and surrounded the area in an impenetrable darkness. I saw Black Widow looking around shocked at what's happening, but she tried to hide it.

While the now human Hulk, who I think is called Bruce Banner, was over near the shield looking at it curiously. I walked through the shadow and was about to kill the woman from behind with one of my knife-like claws, but she turned around and ducked under my claw.

She slid under me and tripped me while the human known as Bruce came over and took out cuffs and clumsily secured my wrists into another pair of those stupid easy to get out of handcuffs. Well at least they were easy to escape out of for me.

The woman was about to talk when the earpiece suddenly said loudly:

"Three enhanced in the field, the male is a blur, most likely super speed, and two girls. The one who In black armor can turn into shadows so don't bother handcuffing her unless you know her weakness, the other can get into your mind and use magic to force you back." Natasha turned back to where I was but only saw her shadow which my shadow form was hidden in.

She turned to Bruce who was confused, but I then let the shadow force field fall, while I had already left and was watching them from a nearby tree.

I turned to see Wanda and Pietro looking around for me and I was about to jump down when something flew and hit me on the back, I was about to grab it when an electrical current shot through my body.

I let go of the tree in shock and fell backwards. I used my magic to slow down my fall but it didn't really work since my body was in shock. Before I hit the ground someone ran forward and caught me before I blacked out.

Clint's POV:

"Well, electricity sure does the trick." Clint stated as he saw the girl in the tree fall backwards.

"Wait, did you catch one of those super people?" Tony questioned.

"Well I shot her with an arrow that applies a strong electrical current which then immobilizes the victim." Replied Clint as he started jogging towards the area he saw the girl fall, only to have a blue and silver blur flash past him while ramming into his side; which then caused him to slam into a tree.

"Ow!" Exclaimed Clint in pain as he recovered from his attack.

"Clint you alright?" Questioned Natasha.

"Yah Nat, but I think our enhanced was taken by the others, they must've seen me shoot at her. I have a feeling they aren't too happy that I shot their friend." Clint explained as he limped off towards the ship.

"Well at least we know how to stop them." Natasha voiced as she helped Bruce into the quin-jet.

_______

Corvina's POV:

I woke up outside a small decaying church. I was laying on the floor wrapped in some ragged yet warm blankets, I could see my brother and sister standing a couple feet away talking about something. I slowly pushed myself up, my head had a pounding feeling in it, and my back was hurting. 'Probably because of that idiot who shot me', I thought as I stood up only to nearly fall from my lack of feeling in my legs, but I quickly used my powers to help steady myself.

"Where are we?" I questioned as I looked at the crumbling church.

"We have been called to meet someone with the same goal as us for the avengers." Wanda stated as she slowly started to walk into the church, Pietro and I quickly ran to where the entrance of the church was.

As I entered the church I immediately noticed the metal figure sitting in an eroded stone chair with a sheet or blanket draped over his shoulders while he sat facing away from us.

"Who are you and if you're wasting our time...", Wanda began, but was interrupted.

"Do you know why this church was built here, because it is in the center of the town. The elders decreed that everyone could be equally close to god." He said as he waved an arm made of metal in front of him.

"I like that, the idea of belief." He said.

"State what you called us here for before we leave." I voiced sternly as I stepped out from the shadows.

He looked at me strangely after I stepped out of the shadows, almost as if he didn't know I was there.

"Who are you?"he questioned flatly, my eyes narrowed as he said this.

"A mystery, but you can call me black magic." I answer in a dark tone.

"Who is she?" He questions again this time asking Wanda who looked at him in confusion.

"How do you not know who she is, she was experimented on just like us. She is our older sister." Wanda stated. Ultron looked back at me still confused.

"What powers do you have?" Ultron finally questioned me.

"I have Umbra-kinesis(the ability to control shadows), evocation, telekinetic blast, darkness manipulation, dark energy manipulation, Mental manipulation, telepathy, osteokinesis, I can turn into my spirit animal which happens to be a black panther, and primordial darkness manipulation but I'm still learning to control that one." I responded. Ultron steps back with a slight look of surprise on his face.

"No wonder I couldn't find any files on you. I should've expected that someone that powerful would want to be kept off the records in case of well, you know." Ultron stated as he walked up to us.

He walked up to Pietro and said,

"You and I can hurt them," he then turned to Wanda and I and then slightly touched our faces while saying, "but you two will tear them apart from the inside."

The Elder Maximoff Ch.4: Intimidation

Ch.3 Ch.5

"Meet you in the ship Pietro" I said to him before grabbing Wanda and getting ready to travel into the ship via shadow travel.

"You really think you're faster than me?" He questioned in a cocky tone. I simply looked at him.

"I know I'm faster than you." I reply before melting into the shadows with Wanda grasping my arm as I had become a strength for her since our powers are slightly similar.

We reappeared in the hallway outside of Klaus's office, I shrouded the inside of the ship in darkness so no one could see us. I look up to see the blue silver blur of Pietro showing up, disbelief shown on his face.

"Told you I was faster now let's get on with the interrogating." I stated as I pushed open the door, the man looked up at us, he had gun raised and just fired the shot but Pietro quickly took all the bullets out of his gun and lined them up in a neat row and was standing next to us in a split second.

Pietro had his arms crossed as he stared at Klaus with a slightly annoyed yet bored look. Wanda went through the doorway, her eyes flaring red.

"Ah, the enhanced. Strucker's prized pupils." He said smiling as he sat down holding out a bowl of candy.

"Want a candy" he said as he offered it. I shadow traveled behind him, and grabbed three pieces of candy. When he turned around I already reformed between Wanda and Pietro, handing them each a piece while I unwrapped mine and quickly placed it in my mouth. He looked at me in slight surprise. I could tell he wanted to ask who I was but he held his tongue after seeing I was an enhanced well.

"I'm sorry to hear about Strucker," Klaus continued as he put the bowl of candy back down. "but then again he knew what kind of world he was helping create. Human life, not the greatest market." I didn't understand what he was talking about and neither did the twins. Klaus seeing this voiced,

"You didn't know? Is this your first time intimidating someone?" He asked in a rather calm voice." I'm afraid, I'm not that afraid.", Wanda steps forward in front of him and says,

"Everybody's afraid of something."

I ignore the conversation until I see Ultron crash through the window and throw Klaus onto the ground,

"There is no man in charge." He said as he then leaned down, " Let's talk business."

Klaus takes us to a closet or something, and then quickly typed in a code that caused the display to slide down, revealing the vibrancy meaning storage. He gives Ultron the vibranium while rubbing the back of his neck, he's probably uncomfortable seeing as there are three enhanced in the room with a huge robot that can kill a human at any second.

"Upon this rock I will build my church. Vibranium." Ultron tosses the vibranium to Pietro for him to hold.

"You know it came at great personal cost, it's worth billions." Klaus stated as he stared at Ultron. Ultron simply chuckled to himself and paid them through his mind since he is practically every piece of technology there is.

"Now so are you. It's all under your dummy holdings, finance is so weird. But I always say ''keep your friends rich and your enemies rich and wait to find out which is which." Ultron responded.

Klaus then said "Stark."

The twins looked slightly confused while Ultron said, "What?"

"Stark used to say that to me... You're one of his." continued Klaus.

'Bad move', I thought to myself as I saw a look of rage appear on Ultron's face while he grabbed Klaus's arm and began to heat up his other hand to a dangerous temperature.

"What, I'm not one of Stark's puppets." Wanda uses her magic to hold down Klaus's guard's guns.

"I mean look at me do look like Iron Man, Stark is nothing!" Ultron yelled as he sliced off Klaus's arm. I was about to stop Ultron but was distracted by hearing Iron man's suit.

Ch.4 Ch.6

"Aw junior, you're going to break your old man's heart." We all turn around to see Tony land on the bridge with the avengers behind him, in an defensive stance.

"If I have to." Ultron responds as he steps forward. I disappear into the shadows as only three of them have seen me, and two are nowhere to be seen.

"You don't have to break anything,"Thor stated.

"Clearly you've never made an omelet." Retorts Ultron in a calm yet slightly annoyed voice.

"He beat me by one second." Claims Tony as he looks back at his team.

"Ah this is fine, is what comfortable? Like old times." Questioned Pietro as he walked forward. My siblings have a bone to pick with him but right now I'll focus on Black Widow and Thor as they seem like the biggest threats here.

"This was never my life." States Tony with a hint of remorse in his tone but I pay no attention to it because I'm currently sneaking up behind Thor. My siblings saw me and their eyes had a flash of fear, but it quickly disappeared and they focused once again on Tony with a firm glare.

Thor steps forward explaining how they can still walk away from this, Wanda seemed pretty annoyed at them since she replied in a ticked off voice,

"No we will." While giving them a fake smile.

"I know you've suffered..." I've heard enough,I appear out of the shadows behind him and quickly grow out sharp bones, about 3 inch long razor sharp claws that protrude out of my fingertips with a slight curve, like that of a panther.

Thor, however, hears the creation of my claws as when I shift or grow my bones they sometimes make a cracking noise. He turns to the noise, but is met with the clawing of flesh. I hit his shoulder, my claws left deep gash marks, so I was happy. Thor goes to hit me with his hammer but I'm already gone, the blink of an eye is all it takes for me to disappear through shadow travel.

I reappear next to Wanda and tap her shoulder, but by the jump she gave, she probably didn't hear me next to her.

"Do you have any idea what I could've done if I didn't know it was you Corvina!" Wanda whisper-shouts at me as we travel through the hallways to catch members of the avengers distracted so we can break their minds.

"Yes." I simply responded as I looked up from a ledge to see Iron man and Ultron facing off. I see Captain America or Cap ram into Pietro. I look at Wanda and motion I'm going out to fight, she nods her head and I camouflage myself to look like darkness.

I sneak up behind Cap and create a shadow dimension weapon. I take the shadow dagger and am right behind Cap now, Pietro however looked over at the last second which then caused Cap to roll sideways at the last second, barely missing my dagger. He throws his shield at me and I create a shadow portal, thus making his shield disappear.

"Where's my shield?" He asks in a surprised tone at not having the shield ricochet back to him.

"Oh lets just say somewhere you'll never find." I'm about to attack Cap but I see Clint shooting an arrow at me.

I open a shadow portal above me, and Cap's shield falls into my hand. I held it up just in time to reflect Clint's arrow, however when the arrow made contact with the shield it sent an electrical current through my body. I drop Cap's shield and Shadow travel out of there before they can catch me.

I quickly attempt to heal myself with my primordial darkness manipulation, before going to look for Wanda. I see her about to hex Hawkeye, but he turns around and uses the same electrical shock arrows on Wanda.

I quickly hurry to her, however when Clint sees me he loads another arrow, but this one has a rugged point that is meant to hurt when hitting and leaving their target, meant to tear and snag, and leave a big gash.

I take a step forward and Hawkeye raises the bow, I raise my hands up in a sign of surrender, but he just pulls back on the bow string while aiming it at me.

"One more step and I fire, and I'd rather not hurt a kid." He voices in a calm but stern voice.

"Last time I checked you're already hurting a kid who happens to be my little sister. Now, I'm going to ask you nicely. Give. Her. Back. Now." He looks startled by my voice so I quickly shadow travel Wanda outside so she will be safe from Clint, but not before I brought her to me where I then grabbed the arrow and bit it in the center, causing it to snap in half. I shadow traveled her outside the ship, while I turned into a massive black panther.

Clint looks extremely scared now, I lunge forward at him. He releases his arrow, as it flies forward it hits my shoulder, I roar in pain but charge forward.

Clint's now running for dear life, I jump forward and swipe my long, sharp claws at his legs, successfully slicing through his calves. He falls, so I'm now standing over him. I bite at his neck but he puts his arm in front, so I instead bite his arm other then neck. He lets out a pained scream, but I'm kicked off of him when he pushes his legs up. I transform into a human as I say,

"Bye bird brain.", before I shadow traveled out to where Wanda is sitting.

Ch.5 Ch.7

"Wanda!" Pietro yelled after he ran out of the ship and saw me holding Wanda's shoulders as she tried to steady herself.

"She's fine, Pietro, but she is a little shocked. I will have to mess with Brucey boy's mind since she is a little too troubled right now." I state as I proceed to shadow travel outside the avengers ship.

I'm next to the Avengers ship in a second and Bruce opens the door after seeing Wanda and Pietro outside. He steps out onto the ramp and I move behind him so he can't go back into the plane.

"Never seen you outside before, only the other guy." I mock in a dark tone. He quickly turns around, surprised that he didn't hear me approach. Before he even has time to respond I shoot a shadow force of black mist into his head and then shadow travel him to the city, while I get to my siblings and Ultron.

_______

Clint's POV:

'Everyone on the team took a hit, especially Natasha. I don't know what the Wanda girl did to her but she will pay for that.' I thought as I flew the quin-jet to the safe house or in other words where my family lives, I hope she doesn't mind me bringing the team home.

I don't understand why these kids would join Ultron, or HYDRA at that point. The twins are confusing but not nearly as confusing as that other girl.

We couldn't find one damn file on her and that is rare for SHIELD. She did say when I electrocuted Wanda that she was her sister but that could've just been a lie, after all you can't put anything below these kids, they're criminals.

"Hey Barton, I want to switch off. It looks like you've got a lot on your mind." Tony says as he walks over to me.

"No thanks Tony, besides we're almost there." I respond in a slightly tired voice.

"Almost where?" Tony questions.

"Safe House." Is all I say and then continue flying.

_______

We've safely landed at a safe house, and stepped inside the house. I see my wife, Laura cleaning the dishes, but the kids are probably upstairs reading or drawing.

Laura turns around and sees me she runs over and hugs me, I can see the team is awkwardly standing with Tony trying to make it seem like she was an agent, so I turn around and introduce them to her.

After my kids came down I introduced them to the team, and my daughter got to see Natasha again, or as she calls her, auntie Nat.

I'm in my room with Laura, I'm putting on a different shirt and explaining to her about the kids we're dealing with as a threat.

"Yeah there are these twins, the male has super speed, while the girl can mess with your mind, they're more like punks really. That need to be taught a lesson."

"And I'm sure you're the one to do that but you need to be careful, in a couple of months we're going to be outnumbered."

"I know and I will be back after this mission, I promise."

The Elder Maximoff Ch.7: Seoul

The Elder Maximoff Ch.7: Seoul

Ch.6 Ch.8

We arrive in Seoul to make Ultron his new body. I shadow travel all of us into her lab so we wouldn't be seen, and then we waited for her to arrive.

It took about 5 minutes after we arrived for her to walk through the door. Ultron quickly says,

"Scream and your entire staff dies." That shut her up real quick. After a few minutes of chatting with her he ordered one of his robots who then stood forward and pushed Loki's scepter against her chest, Her eyes went black and then electrical blue. Ultron brought in the vibranium and Helen got right to work in making an artificial body for Ultron.

Ultron then proceeds to break open the gem in the scepter to then reveal a beautiful glowing gold yellow stone which Ultron then placed in the center of its forehead. Helen then said something about it being a couple of hours for it to be done, but he could now begin the mind downloading process.

As soon as she plugged him into the machine, Wanda and I wanted to understand his mind more since we couldn't see his mind while he was a robot.

We both placed our hands on the cradle, there was nothing but black, then suddenly earth appeared, it was calm. Then an asteroid went speeding towards earth and hit it, causing everyone to be killed in the after wave from it.

I heard Wanda pull her hands away from the cradle quickly and let out a slight cry of distress, but I continued to see what else was in his mind. After the meteorite hit earth the sounds of the millions of innocent people dying could be heard, then silence.

I then saw on earth many metal beings free to take over earth instead. When I released from the cradle Wanda was telling Pietro what she saw and Ultron looked alarmed at her reaction; I looked shocked, anyone could tell.

I stepped back when Ultron tried to reach out to us. I telepathically told Wanda to free Helen of the sceptre's power, seconds later she powered down the cradle.

Ultron sighed in disappointment, but before we could do anything he shot Helen in the chest. Pietro grabbed both of us and ran out of there.

When we got out of there I explained,

"This has gone too far. How about we just forget about this, let's live normal lives. The Avengers will stop Ultron and forget about us sooner or later." Wanda and Pietro both nodded their heads and we set off and disappeared into the crowds of people.

_______

Clint's POV:

Nick has arrived and given us one of his 'get off your asses and do something' speeches. I throw a dart and hit the bullseye spot on, when Bruce said,

"Has anyone seen Helen Cho?"

_______

We hurried out to Seoul, Nat and I chose to stay in the quin-jet while the other went in.

"There, it's a trick from the lab." Nat points out. I relay the coordinates through my com to Cap.

I drop Natasha off on her motorcycle, and give her some quick directions on how to catch up with the truck.

The Elder Maximoff Ch.8: The Cradle

Ch.7 Ch.9

Corvina's POV:

We sat down and were eating some food we managed to steal, mainly some fruits like an apple or some plums. As we were sitting at a table, talking to each other, the TV showed Captain America fighting Ultron on a train. I looked at the others and they looked slightly guilty, as did I.

"Do you think we should help?" Questioned Pietro, Wanda looked ashamed that we helped him while I felt really ashamed as I was the one who made the main decision for all of us.

"Fine, but we all have to agree." I stated. The twins nodded their heads in agreement, I showed a slight smirk of confidence before I shadow traveled us onto the train.

The train was moving at a fast speed, and the end of the tracks was nearing. When we appeared many of the people were startled and then scared because they'd probably seen us on TV as the bad guys who helped Ultron, but we didn't have time to care seeing as Cap was getting beat pretty badly.

Pietro rammed into Ultron, causing him to turn away from Cap and pay attention to a new threat. Ultron was about to shoot at Pietro but I summoned a shadow dagger and stabbed Ultron's shoulder.

He yelled in anger, then grabbed my arm and threw me into a wall. Wanda forced the railings between us, creating a wall around me after seeing me slowly get up. Ultron, however, flew out of the train and left us. I pushed myself up using my dark energy force.

"Can you slow the train down?" Cap asked Wanda and me while she rushed to help me regain my balance. Wanda simply nodded her head as I did the same.

"I need you to get the civilians out of the way." Cap ordered Pietro, but Pietro was already out of the train, moving people out of the way. Wanda and I put all our energy into stopping the train.

I had the shadows of buildings grabbing the shadow of the train in an effort to slow it down while Wanda used her magic to jam the wheels of the train. We were luckily able to stop the train with the only casualty being the conductor, who was already dead.

We rushed out of the train to see how Pietro was, he looked super exhausted.

"Pietro are you okay?" Wanda and I asked in unison. He simply waved us off and said he was fine.

"I'm very tempted not to give you one," Cap says as he walks towards us.

"The cradle did you get it?" Wanda questioned.

"Stark will take care of it." Cap says, my head snaps up in anger, I take a step forwards,

"No he won't." I state.

"You don't know what you're talking about, Stark's not crazy."

"He will do anything to make things right." Wanda voiced as she looked at Cap. There is a silence that settles over him, he then goes to his comm and tries to contact Stark but gets no answer.

"Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it, where do you think he gets that?" Wanda explains to Cap as he thinks about it.

Personally, I'm going to stop Stark whether Cap here agrees or not, I send a telepathic message to the twins and they agree. We all stand, and they each hold one of my arms as we stand close together.

"What are you doing?" Cap asks in a questioning voice.

"We're going to see if the incredibly trusted Stark is as trustworthy as you say he is, now you can either come with us or take the long way." I say in an incredibly sarcastic tone when referring to Stark as trustworthy.

Cap thinks for a second and then grabs my arm like the twins are. The shadowy black fog that forms a barrier around us is then dropped after a second to reveal Avengers tower.

The Elder Maximoff Ch.9: The Vision

Ch.8 Ch.10

Corvina's POV:

We appeared at the Avengers tower, Steve as we now know him as, leads us through the tower to where Tony and Bruce should be destroying the body but we see them trying to make it.

"I'm going to say this once." Steve nearly yells from beside me, making me jump in surprise.

"How about nunce." Tony retorts.

"Shut it down." Steve responds.

"Nope, not going to happen."

"You don't know what you're doing." Steve tries to reason.

"And you do? They're not in your head?" Bruce asks.

"I know you're angry..." Wanda starts but is interrupted by Bruce,

"No, we're way past that. I could choke the life out of you and never change a shade." Bruce states dangerously at Wanda, who is looking stunned and slightly afraid. I let out a low threatening growl as I take a challenging step forward, while growing fangs and some 7 inch long claws from my knuckles.

"Banner after everything that's happened.." Steve starts.

"That's nothing compared to what's coming." Tony yells. Everyone starts arguing and I'm getting kind of sick of it so I say telepathically

'Hey Pietro, think you can give them a little push?' Pietro looks at me and smirks, then speeds off through the lab, unplugging all the chords they had attached to the cradle. He stopped and threw the last chord down saying,

"No no, go on you were saying?" Pietro says as Tony and Bruce looked confused and then angry. However a bullet quickly shattered the ground and Pietro fell to the bottom floor, Wanda yelled for him while I tried to jump forward to help him, but was held back by Steve.

"I'm rerouting the upload." Tony said as he turned and faced a screen. Steve threw his shield at the technology, so Tony then called on his Iron Man suit hand which he used to shoot Steve.

The rest of his suit slowly formed. Wanda was about to use her magic when Bruce grabbed her from behind and said,

"Go ahead, piss me off."

Then Clint came up from the bottom floor cocking his gun, I quickly transformed into a black panther and smacked the gun out of his hand from the side.

He looks surprised to see a black panther here, but then remembers I can turn into one; and decides that he can't fight me since I'd obviously win. I chase after him for a few seconds then go to help Wanda. I see Steve charge at Tony with a punch, but Tony knocks them both back with one shot from his guns.

I see Wanda hit Bruce with her magic, then Thor appears and jumps onto the cradle, he then proceeds to use his hammer to summon lightning to power it up.

Everyone looks around in shock as Thor powered up the cradle, he stops after a few seconds and then starts to get off the cradle but was a little late and is thrown into the ceiling.

The new being stands up and looks at Thor, he then lunges forward at him to only be thrown through glass, but stops himself when he come to another window. We all come down to see what he will do next, but he simply looks at his reflection in the window. Thor sets his hammer down, and Pietro runs over after recovering.

As this humanoid slowly hovered back towards us he created an outfit of gray to cover him after seeing us wearing clothes.

He looks over at me and looks slightly confused as I am still a black panther and look nothing like the other's, but he eventually turns to Thor after I growl and show my fangs at him.

"I'm sorry, that was..odd. Thank you." He says looking directly at Thor when saying thank you.

"Thor, you helped create this?" Steve questioned in a surprised tone.

"I've had a vision. A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life, and at its center is that." Thor says pointing at the stone in the visions head.

"What the gem?" Bruce questions.

"It's the mind stone, it's one of the six infinity stones. The greatest power in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capability." Thor continues.

"Then why would you bring it?"questions Steve.

"Because Stark is right."

"Ohhh it's definitely the end times." Bruce says, looking to the side.

"The avengers cannot defeat Ultron," Thor continues. "Not alone."

"Why does your vision sound like Jarvis?" Steve questioned whilst walking forward slightly, shield still at the ready.

"We.. We configured Jarvis's matrix, to create something new." Stark answers.

"I think we've had our fill of new." Steve replies in an exasperated tone.

"You think I am a child of Ultron?",Jarvis voices as he walks around looking at the team curiously.

"You're not?" Steve questions.

"I'm not Ultron, I'm not.. Jarvis either. I am." The vision states looking up.

"I looked in your head, and saw annihilation." Wanda explains while walking up a forwards.

"Look again." The vision states.

"Yah, your seal of approval means jack to me." Clint voices irritatingly, as he walks forwards. I growl at Clint, and lunge at him as I did not like his attitude.

"Corvina stop!" Wanda nearly shouts as she tries to get me off of Clint, as I have him currently pinned to the ground. I finally get off but not before swiping my claws at him, leaving long scratch marks down his arm.

"And who is this? She doesn't seem like the rest of you." Vision states as he walks towards Wanda and I slightly.

"This is our older sister Corvina." Pietro explains.

"Your sister?" Vision questions looking utterly confused.

"Yah she's all good till you piss her off." Clint says painfully while getting up with Steve's help. I simply growl at Clint then transform back into my human form.

"Nice to meet you." I say to Vision before I turn my head towards Thor to continue.

"The stone is the most destructive out of all the stones, and with it on our side.." Thor continued but was cut off by Steve.

"Is it? Is it on our side?" Steve says, bringing up a good point. They all look towards the Vision, awaiting his answer.

my problem with mcu wanda

My Problem With Mcu Wanda

No hate to lizzie she's an amazing actress, i just don't like what they did to my favourite character.

First let's start with casting a white woman. Wanda in the comics is a roma jewish girl that is strongly connected with her culture. The fact that mcu didn't even bother in looking for romani women makes Wanda problematic, in the moment they don't look over that ethnicity it becomes whitewashing, and that's my number one problem. (Not only with Wanda but with Pietro on mcu and fox x-men where they even made his name sound more american.)

If marvel is so interested in showing representation, why do they change some characters ethnicity like valkyrie and nick fury when they whitewash one of their biggest characters that represents a marginalised group that was chased and slaved for years throughout their history? Specially when their ethnicity is so important to their story.

My Problem With Mcu Wanda

Secondly, let's remember how Wanda was introduced. She was a HYDRA EXPERIENCE! Yes that's right hydra, and what is hydra again? Oh yeah, a NAZI PROGRAM! This is a total disrespect to the character, since her parents (erik and magda) are holocaust survivors, and roma and jewish were severely harassed by nazi soldiers during WW2. Pietro and Wanda needed to run away when farmes killed their adoptive family (their aunt and uncle) because they were roma.

My Problem With Mcu Wanda

Third thing, Wanda had her powers totally reduced. AoU was okay she was powerful but from CW to now they did dirty. She now is based on telekinesis, it made her look like Jean Grey but with red light. Also, a lot of her powers in the comics (the most important) are related to Chton's blessing. He is a demoniac elder god that gave Wanda chaos magic, and sometimes she has all the control of it, and of course she is a powerful witch, she can even create spells and witchcraft is strongly connected to romani culture, so it was all taken away from us. HER ROMA CULTURE DOES HAVE AN INFLUENCE ON HER POWERS!!

My Problem With Mcu Wanda

Last thing, The way they erased her relationship with Pietro whom should be the most important person to her and they decided to kill him in the dumbest way possible and considering that in the comics she couldn't stand living without him for like an hour she resurrected him!! They also made wandavision a bad developed ship (i hate their relationship he's toxic but c'mon) mcu Wanda is constantly whining and baby sitting him when comic Wanda is independent and asked the Vision to shut up once because he was too annoying. Their personality don't even match, comic books Wanda is so independent, makes her own choices, is sarcastic and sometimes bitchy because she knows what she wants but mcu Wanda it's just being sad or useless around.

My Problem With Mcu Wanda

Also don't tell me hollywood doesn't have roma actresses: Salma Hayek that is going to play Ajak on Eternals is romani, she even played Esmeralda on 1997 The Hunchback.

There are roma actors, they are there, here are a list of a few romani women that could play Wanda:

- Hiba Abouk

- Mihaela Dragan

- Francisca Fraken

- Doinita Oancea

For Pietro:

- Jesus Castro

- Balint Jasko

Did it ever occur to anyone that Wanda’s Roma background in the comics was BUILT on racist stereotypes? Similarly to M’Baku but also several others. And maybe that’s why the show runners stepped away from that..?

image

okay, so i think what we have here is someone who skimmed the original post in question (paragraph 2) and likely didn’t ready any of the links attached because that first message has been addressed already... but for anyone else in the same boat:

from gavia baker-whitelaw’s article:

Wanda and Pietro's Romani heritage was canon for decades (including in their non-mutant backstory), although this depiction often had problematic undertones. Wanda is literally a mysterious foreign witch, a damaging stereotype that acquired more nuance in later comics. But instead of updating Wanda and Pietro as modern Jewish/Romani superheroes (much like how Black Panther's charismatic M'Baku started out as a villain named "Man-Ape"), Disney whitewashed them. This casting choice was divisive in 2013, when The Atlantic highlighted the negative connotations of casting a white blonde actress as Scarlet Witch. Roma people are a marginalized ethnic minority, and Disney chose to erase their presence from the MCU.

...This rewrite was rather tone-deaf, because it involved Wanda and Pietro volunteering for neo-Nazi experiments. In the comics, their original parents were Holocaust survivors. Whedon also ignored the most obvious solution to Wanda and Pietro's non-mutant backstory: Django and Marya Maximoff, their Romani parents from the comics.

white washing characters is never the best solution. it doesn’t address the issue in so much as it just sweeps it under the rug. as well as perpetuating the idea that white is some unproblematic neutral that ppl can just default to. like can you imagine if in an attempt to “fix” how m’baku is portrayed in the comics, they just...put a white guy in the role? you can’t just remove a characters racial or ethnic background. no one is saying that her comic background hasn’t been problematic, but this isn’t the way to remedy that.

@scarlet--wiccan has an amazing post about the erasure of this whole family’s ethnic identity in the fox x-men films (x).

@villyns also has a good post outlining some examples of the mcu white washing rather than actually fixing the problem (x).

and here’s a decent article on white washing in media and why it’s a problem (x), quote from this article below:

Making a movie is not an easy feat; there are many things to take into account and even more people that you have to please, but there are also standards and morals to uphold. Whitewashing, blackface, brownface or yellowface is not just about denying jobs to minority actors, appropriating the stories of these groups, perpetuating stereotypes or keeping them invisible, it is about undermining their value as human beings and turning them into stepping stones, props, for white artists.

as for the second part. i think that’s entirely possible, actually. it’s done a lot to characters, where they won’t explicitly state their ethnicity but give them attributes from one (often stereotypes) and make them a caricature without making it, like i said, explicit. take the concept of jewish-coded villains in media. no one from disney has ever said that mother gothel in tangled is jewish, but it’s been pointed out by everyone that she’s jewish coded through stereotypes, ones specifically often used for “evil” witch-type characters, which is no coincidence: large, hooked nose, curly hair, greedy, etc. edit: hollywood uses coding like this often for racial/ethnic groups and the lgbtq+ community.

the maximoffs in the mcu and xmcu have never been explicitly made romani, with disney going so far as to change their parents romani names (django and marya) to oleg and irina. the name changes were unnecessary, except to distance the maximoffs from their original romani identity. the mcu changed their origins stories and cast non-romani actors to portray the maximoffs, and considering they went as far as to remove their jewish heritage as i mentioned before, it’s not a stretch that this is all an attempt to veil their romani background too. while they often joke about stealing and fortune tellers and poverty (the wv halloween episode really put it all in one place, but they’ve been doing it forever in the xmcu and mcu), i wouldn’t say this is an attempt to make them romani as much as it is to use a romani-esque caricature, to use it as a sort of “aesthetic” for the twins without acknowledging that it’s an ethnicity. the aspects they choose to keep are often either negative or painted in a negative light. i think the fact that el*zabeth ols*en continuously uses the g-slur to talk about wanda and costume design, speaks to that. 

and even if the mcu came out and said, “oh, our wanda is romani,” that wouldn’t change the fact that she’s played by a non-romani actress (who continues to use anti-romani slurs, despite knowing she shouldn’t) and that so far, they have not explicitly stated in the mcu that she is.

from gavia baker-whitelaw’s article:

Wanda and Pietro's whitewashing feels like an attempt to "neutralize" them. It frames their ethnicity as a problem to be avoided, rather than an opportunity to celebrate an under-represented group. This also meant that Marvel could cast famous white actors instead of sourcing an unknown Romani actor, during a period when the MCU was visibly uninterested in racial diversity.

But Marvel Studios wanted to have its cake and eat it, too. While Wanda is now white and Sokovian, her role isn't completely divorced from its Romani origins. It can't be, because everything in the MCU is informed by the comics. That's how we end up with El*zabeth Ols*n describing her Age of Ultron costume as "kind of this g*psy, vagabond feel"—terms that usually wouldn't come to mind for a simple black minidress and maroon jacket. Wanda's Romani heritage remains visible through veiled references and superficial costume choices, sidestepping any hint of meaningful representation.

from jessica reidy’s article:

Today, some Roma do call themselves witches, and serve as healers and spell-casters in a community, but make no mistake, being a witch is a job like any other. I was trained by my grandmother, I studied hard, I started a business, and I take bookings in my Google calendar. This is the context that most people miss when creating (or, in this case, adapting) Romani witch characters like Wanda Maximoff, and while the Scarlet Witch has plenty of magic, she does not need to fall into the stereotype, nor have her identity erased.

Representation matters. Wanda’s Romani ethnicity has been well-stated in the comic books, sometimes capturing the discrimination and violence that Roma face, and other times falling flat and stereotypical. Marvel also owes us, as Roma are often rendered as mentally unstable thieves, such as Dr. Doom, Wanda and Pietro’s community, and Wanda herself, and the entertainment giant capitalizes off of these stereotypes, reinforcing them all the while.

Every opportunity we get for accurate and positive representation is essential to us because it shapes the way people understand us.

linking the post i made again, because it has a list of articles and posts i’d recommend really taking the time to look through and engaging with them, as well as following folks like jessica reidy and @scarlet--wiccan​ on social media for more info from romani folks.
