“You know I care for you more than anyone, but if he is in our grasp again and you hold me back again, I will be very angry.” He had been the one to break them out of HYDRA’s hold, to convince her to abandon the people who only wanted to use them and wouldn’t give them the chance for their revenge. Now, they had two enemies, rather than one. HYDRA would continue to hunt them down, wanting to use them. 

After all, they had stolen their greatest weapons - besides themselves, Pietro had grabbed the sceptor which had enhanced them. Pietro knew very little about it, but that it was something that both they and SHIELD (along with the Avengers) both coveted. It’s magic was easier for Wanda to understand, her own abilities more in tune with that sort of power. He is more fueled by revenge than his brain, though he is quick in wit as well as speed. 

Tony Stark had been close, close enough for either of them to take out - or to attack together. They had so few opportunities to run into him, particularly now. He did not like the idea of hiding from HYDRA, knowing that they were on the run - it would be so much easier to defeat their enemies than to hide from them, especially with such powers at their disposal. He had managed to throw off multiple HYDRA agents before even breaking Wanda out. Why should they wait? “He was there. We could have ended this.” And, finally, a weight released from their shoulders, one he would feel until Tony Stark felt the same pain he had.

            “A lot is on my mind actually --- sorry.” It’s been a rough week; Lucy ending up in the hospital, without any word or reason as to why or what was wrong with her, and not getting any information about where she’d been before returning home and collapsing? Sabine wasn’t nearly as much of a mess as her best friend right now, but it was a pretty close race. Sleep deprived, trying to take care of Jacinda “No need for me to say things that don’t make any sense, I guess.”

     “No matter the outcome here, you know this won’t be the last fight, right Steve?” He was ready, gun in hand, a new arm (thanks to Shuri and Wakanda), and a determination to redeem himself. Not that even saving the universe (potentially) would erase or fix any of the damage he had caused. “It seems we’re destined to fight forever.”

@weaponizedembrace​ liked for starter call roulette X (Groot)

      “I am Groot?” He’s fascinated, definitely, but it isn’t the first time he’s been, more or less, sent by Rocket to examine someone’s prosthesis. Usually, he’d finagle some way into getting it, but Groot liked the former-assassin. “I am Groot?”

@seesgood​ liked for starter call roulette X (Wanda)

     “You do not seem scared of me.” It’s a strange sensation, meeting someone that was not afraid of her, though not unwelcome. She hated the feeling of people’s fear surrounding her, though she knew she couldn’t control what other’s thought or felt (well, technically, she could, but she wouldn’t, since that wouldn’t really help). It was a nice change. “Are you not?”

       There’s very little recollection to the events of Sokovia. He remembers, last, waking up, after a brief unconscious spell, wanting to run and find Wanda. She wasn’t there - he knew that much. Which was enough for him to worry, to be frantic, even if his injuries were to vast for him to get up. Even his enhancements were halted by the pain, the injuries, and he immediately lost consciousness again, not at all reassured that she would be found, the words he heard before his mind fell to darkness once again.

       The next time he wakes up, his mind is racing, his heart following suit almost immediately. None of that is abnormal - his enhancements didn’t just increase his physical speed; his heart rate is always a bit faster than normal, his mind always moving at a million miles per minute it seems. He’s gotten better at dealing with it, and Wanda’s presence is always a balm to the rapidity, which is why he knows she’s there. 

      The second he wakes, his mind starts going, but it slows, through no conscious effort of his own. Before he even opens his eyes, he knows that Wanda must be nearby. Which means she survived the nightmare in Sokovia, that they won against the army they had helped spur on. Ultron had the information and the temptation to turn them against the Avengers easily. The switch they’d pulled was something he didn’t regret: seeing what SHIELD was supposed to be, not so bad, he was glad to have helped. He had no reservations now, about helping the Avengers, protecting Sokovia (and the world), and protecting Hawkeye from a barrage of bullets with his own body, and speed, was something he never expected. The quip, before he falls, losing consciousness, would be funny, if he weren’t suffering from life threatening injuries.

      And he never expected to survive. He had done that as a sacrifice play. Waking up in the hospital, a hospital, who knows where, is a shock to his system, and his increased speed causes him to jerk away easier, even when injured. His breathing is quick, and his heartrate speeds up for a moment, before he looks over and sees her. “You are okay.” It’s a relief - he would have died if she had, been completely heartbroken if Wanda had not made it out of Sokovia safely. She was stronger than he was. She could survive without him. He could not live without her. “You are, right?”
