Artemis's Pov
"You have a lot better control then I did, you aren't letting your emotions control this power." I tilted my head to one side, bouncing the purple orb back and forth watching it balance in my hands. The sweat coated me in a sticky layer, and right there just in my eye sight was the device keeping me very much stuck here. But it was better to better myself and trust again. Then to be in a bad place.
"Was it always hard for you to control your powers Wanda?" I asked her gently slowly letting the purple orbs fade into a mist into my palm watching it with a small chuckle. I glanced up watching her focus her attention on me, a faint smile growing on her lips, she played with her own floating dark red mist between fingertips.
"Yeah I had basic control over it, it was quiet easy to brain wash others, make them see things torture them but then when my brother died, I sort of had some hard times adjusting to it. It seemed to grow worse but they still insisted on me doing missions with Steve and them, then I had that incident back where I killed all those people. For a while I just wanted to shut myself out, then Clint helped me." I tuned it very interested like hugging my knees a bit. Strange I had never talked to Wanda but we related so much. Suppose I need to spend more time with everyone.
"That's what I did... After I was tortured for that long week, I just felt like everything was out of hand, and not in my control, then those powers just came. At first they like helped me, it was cool to just blast them out." I chuckled slightly sighing a little bringing my hand up to play with the messy purple curls a bit, my eyes shifting to each strand.

"But then I just let the powers take control over me and used them in a way that hurt others. Lord knows how many people I've hurt and or killed for the years I had been away."
Somewhere I could hear Natasha exclaiming something at Sam and Steve her voice echoing around rough like. I'd hate to be them right now.
"You know since I've had these powers, my hair hasn't gone back to normal? It stays purple, even glows purple when I use it. I've washed my hair many times it's just permanently purple." She looked genuine plopping down to sit on the floor in front of me, both her hands pressed behind her in a simple motion her head cocked to the side.
"Really now? At least it's a pretty color, imagine your hair glowing green? Or gold."
"Excuse you! Gold and green are beautiful colors I mean just look at me!"
"Now you got Loki started-"

"Here M don't tell your dad." I handed her the little bowl with the ice cream all the sprinkles in the world you could imagine. After growing up I realized sprinkles are gross, have no flavour at all, but little kids seemed to love them no matter what.
"Thank you Artemis, you are the best!" I flashed her a soft smile waving her off as she ran off to eat her treat her feet echoing as she did so. I brushed off my hands leaning on the counter top for such a short minute, the scent of the vanilla ice cream still very much lingering about.
Just needed a small breather to myself, sometimes too much time by myself Vega could get beyond annoying with his plans of world domination and destruction. He could be entertaining sometimes, he knew how to scare people from time to time.

"Hey little kitten how's your training going?" I snapped my head up to focus on Bucky when he entered tying all his hair up into a light bun on his head. I didn't even hear him entering at all.
"Oh you know same old with a evil person trying to plot world domination." I exclaimed laughing quietly at the amusement flashing in his eyes, before he made his way over near me pressing a very quick kiss to my forehead. His arm slung in place over my shoulder blades.
"Don't we all, you're doing good even Peter agreed you've made some good progress from wanting to bomb every city. And yelling at the government." I snorted quietly, my palm patting at his chest a few times my head tilting to one side.
"Thanks Bucky, I'll totally keep that in mind. I'm sorry sometimes they deserve it." I said through my laughter a little my hands then dropping to clamp together for a moment.
"Hey Artemis! Have you seen my-" I spoke over Clint quite quickly.
"it's in the training room, two near the mats." I exclaimed quickly, he shot me a small look and clicked his tongue nodding his head quickly sending me a wink.
"You are a life saver!" Was the last thing he shouted over his shoulder to me. I laughed nervously still holding my hands close.
"I actually have the worse short term memory loss but we don't talk about that now do we." I muttered to myself. Feeling Bucky resting his head on my shoulder, his low loose hums sounding out.
'Are you talking about that time you found that huge ass box of condoms on Tony's base area?'
I blinked a few times before it finally hit me what he said. I was trying to forget that. "Shut up Vega." I exclaimed causing Bucky to jolt a bit staring at me for a moment.
"Do I wanna ask?"
"Is it possible for me to be able to erase my memory from something I saw like two weeks ago?"
"Ask Bruce all those gadgets they have why?"
"I knew all of you were horny- but not to the point where you have a box of 100 condoms."
"What!"
