"My head hurts so much, Pietro, where are you?"
Wanda struggled to sit up, looking around in a daze. She found herself still in the observation room, but now the place was in ruins. Broken glass was scattered all over the floor, as if a fierce battle had just taken place. Her memory was a mess, she remembered almost nothing but endless pain. The only thing she vaguely remembered was a figure that looked like an Angel coming to save her.
"You're awake? Have some hot water."
A gentle man's voice appeared. The man held a steaming cup of black tea, its aroma soothing. For some reason, Wanda felt an affinity to this somewhat unfamiliar man and unconsciously took the cup from his hand. The man smiled gently and introduced himself simply.
"Hello, Miss Wanda Maximoff. My name is Kurohane."
"Hello, Mister Kurohane. What happened to me?"
When Wanda woke up, she had already checked her body. There was no discomfort, just her head felt a little dizzy. On the contrary, she felt like she had just taken a hot spring bath, warm and relaxed.
Kurohane didn't answer, but instead linked their minds when he made eye contact with Wanda. All of his memories related to Wanda, including the future Wanda, in movies, comics, and novels, were allowed for Wanda to see for herself. Including his feelings for Wanda, everything was shown unconditionally.
This... is this me?
Wanda finished viewing Kurohane's inner thoughts in one minute. The sheer amount of information almost made her brain crash. At this moment, a red energy appeared in her hands, and the pain in her mind instantly disappeared.
Is this the energy of Chaos Magic? This feeling is so wonderful!
This was the first time Wanda had felt her own power, constantly playing with the energy in her palm. She almost forgot that Kurohane was still standing next to her, lost in her shock. Kurohane wasn't in a hurry; he just observed from the side. These two twins were indeed born of the same mother.
Pietro was even more excited than her when he woke up, and even thought Kurohane was a bad guy who kidnapped them. It wasn't until he realized that even with his super-speed superpower, he was still no match for Kurohane, that he calmed down. That's because Kurohane managed to catch him using his Telepathy ability. A speedster who could get caught and lose his ability to move, had no other way to fight back than to submit.
Kurohane didn't show his memories to Pietro. He only asked one thing, and Pietro instantly surrendered. "How many times do you think I could have killed you both while you were unconscious?"
Pietro was dumbfounded. Yes, if Kurohane wanted to harm them, he would have done it long ago! How could he have helped them heal their mental pollution and awakened their superpowers instead? After that, Kurohane told Pietro to find a set of clothes. "If you're dressed like a mental hospital patient, how can I take you to see Tony Stark for revenge?"
The power of hatred is truly limitless. Pietro immediately ran around the room a few times to adjust to his speed. He soon turned into a locomotive, leaving the ward with a whistling wind, confidently leaving his sister with Kurohane. But strangely, the kid had been gone for several minutes and hadn't returned yet. So embarrassing for a speedster!
After playing with the Chaos Magic power for a while, Wanda finally remembered that someone was still standing next to her. Her face flushed a little with embarrassment. After lowering her head and taking a sip of tea, she said, "Mister Kurohane, how should I thank you?"
Kurohane showed his inner thoughts unconditionally. In Wanda's eyes, this behavior was like a confession. Although her heart instinctively felt close to Kurohane, and she believed that the Angel who saved her was Kurohane, she had only known him for less than ten minutes. Of course, it felt awkward! After all, the current Wanda was just a young girl under 20.
"I don't need your gratitude. I also won't ask you to do anything. You can do whatever you want to do."
Actually, Kurohane also didn't know what to do. He had been single for his entire life. Even when he became Chu Nan, he didn't have much romance experience. If this were a playboy, they might be kissing by now!
Whoosh—!
Pietro suddenly appeared with a large plastic bag, saving the two people who were dying of awkwardness.
"Wanda, you're awake? Look, your brother is so fast!"
Pietro looked like he was presenting a treasure, appearing next to Wanda's bed with another "whoosh" and throwing the plastic bag to her. "Mister Kurohane asked me to find some clothes for you..."
"Just call me Kurohane, no need to be so formal."
Although Kurohane had never dated, he knew he shouldn't be too polite. If he wanted to date the younger sister, he had to win over the older brother first. Moreover, this universe he transmigrated into was a mess. The Pietro in front of him wasn't the failed version from the Avengers movie, but a person similar to the X-Men version. Kurohane had even once surrounded Apocalypse with him, creating a sense of familiarity.
"Okay! Kurohane, you can also call me Pietro from now on!"
Kurohane shook Pietro's hand. He pointed to Baron Strucker, who was feigning death in the glass room, and said, "Your memory might still be a little messy, but you should remember that guy's face. He is one of the leaders of H.Y.D.R.A. He didn't want to save your country. He just wanted to find test subjects who were willing to participate in an experiment to awaken superpowers, which means you two. As for how to deal with him, it's entirely up to you. If you want to kill him, I can do it for you."
After Kurohane said that, the twins fell silent. They indeed wanted to save their country. This was also their way of rejecting the influence of the United States' ideology, which was led by Iron Man. However... this country was truly rotten to the core, completely unsalvageable. That's why they met Baron Strucker, and were finally willing to become test subjects. After hesitating, Wanda shifted her gaze to Kurohane and asked, "If you were me, what would you do?"
