“She’s been here for over a month now and we can’t get to her. This isn’t normal conditioning, something deeply inside of her brain is just working differently.” Natasha said with a sigh, sitting down in her chair again.

Steve ran his hand through his hair, looking down at the table in front of him. “And here I thought we would do her a favor if we rescue her from the Red Room. But now we’re keeping her locked up, unable to help her.”

Wanda had been awfully quiet during the meeting. Her thoughts kept wandering to the young woman they held in a cell on the compound, the black widow that had tried to attack Natasha a month ago. They thought it would be easy to get rid of her conditioning, but it seemed like the Red Rooms methods had changed over time.

Wanda excused herself and left the room. She couldn’t stand it anymore, especially since the picture of the widow sitting in her cell with those cold eyes was burned into her mind. She had to do something about it, even though the other Avengers had forbidden it.

She walked straight into the building where her cell was, only stopping right in front of the glass wall that kept the two women away from each other. She typed in the code for the door and stepped in as it opened. The black widow immediately jumped up and lunged forward, programmed to attack her. But Wanda raised her hands, invading her mind with her powers.

She had never seen anything like this.
