Gemma woke up in pain. Once again her head was pounding, but not as much as it did before. She sat up and realized that she was in her room. Wanda ran to her side.
"Your up!" She exclaimed.
Gemma clutched her aching head.
"How long was I out for?" She asked.
"Three days not including the three you were under for when they were experimenting." Wanda replied.
"Six days?" She asked.
Wanda nodded and helped her up. The two walked to the door and Wanda opened it. Just as the doorway was cleared standing in the doorway about to knock was Pietro.
"Your awake!" He exclaimed relived. He picked her up and swung her in the air.
"Whoa." Gemma laughed holding her head when he placed her in the ground. She took a step and misplaced her footing. Thankfully, Pietro was there to catch her. He helped her up.
"You ok?" He smiled.
"Yeah." Gemma blushed.
"Let's get you to your father." Wanda cut in.
"Right." Pietro agreed. He picked Gemma up bridal style and took off.
"What about me?!" Wanda called to her brother.
"Right!" Pietro rushed back and had his twin hop on and he took the three of them to Struckers office.
When they arrived he set Wanda down, but continued to carry Gemma and her spinning head. They entered the office to find Strucker talking to his head scientist.
"Ah, Gemma! Your awake!" He smiled.
Pietro set Gemma down and helped her to her father. Strucker felt threatened by this connection of his daughter and subject A24, but quickly put it aside.
"How do you feel?" He asked.
"Well, dizzy, sick, and uh.....well that's it I guess." Gemma replied to her father.
"Anything other than feelings?" He pressed.
"Um.....no?"
Strucker shook his head disappointed by his daughters answer. He walked back over to his scientist and went close to his ear.
"Write down still in progress. The new phase isn't a failure yet."
"Yes sir." The scientist replied and walked away.
With a fake smile Strucker returned to his daughter. He placed a hand on her shoulder. Strucker led Gemma away from the others. Gemma tensed up filling with fear.
"Gemma, there is something that I need you to do for me." He says.
Gemma nods and he continues.
"I need you to find the weaknesses of the twins."
"Why?"
"Because, it's part of the experiments! Isn't that what they signed up for?" Struker assured.
"I guess?" Gemma a answered unsurely.
"Then go. I know you won't fail me."
Gemma smiled at her father and turned away. Worry covered her face as she approached the group, but she quickly covered it as Pietro and Wanda came to her.
"Everything alright?" Wanda asked.
"Yeah, everything's fine." Gemma nodded.
Pietro thought opposite. He could tell that something was bothering Gemma, and he was going to find out one way or another.
"Come on, Strucker gave us the day off." Wanda squealed.
"Ouch." Pietro complained holding his ears.
Gemma laughed at the twins playfulness and decided where to go.
"Come on! Follow me!" She yelled leading the way.
Gemma began to run down the halls, and thinking that they weren't going to catch her and blue blur rushed by her. She stopped with hands on her hips.
"Unfair Pietro." She laughed.
"Ha, who says." He laughs.
Gemma smiled.
"Me!" And she turned invisible.
Continuing her run through the building she finally arrived at her destination. She took a seat and observed her surroundings. Then a thought raced through her head. She began to think about her fathers favor.
I need you to find the weaknesses of the twins and I know you won't fail me. What is that even supposed to mean? Dose she have to break down their barriers? Have a heart to heart conversation? Or their biggest fear?
Gemma fought with herself until she felt a pair of eyes watching. She turned around to face Pietro.
"What's going on?" He asked.
"Nothing, I'm fine." Gemma growled.
"No your not. Something's bothering you."
"Fine!" Gemma gave in. "Something is bothering me."
"Well what is it?" Pressed Pietro.
"My father asked me to do something and I'm not sure if I want to do it." She answered.
"Well....."
"He wants me to find out yours and Wanda's weakness." Gemma looked down as she finished.
Pietro lifted her chin up and locked his eyes with hers.
"Why are you struggling?"
"Because, he wouldn't tell me what he's going to use the information for."
Pietro let his hand drop from her face and fall to her hands.
"So, he can't hurt us more than he already did."
"How would you know that?" Gemma yelled. "I don't want you or Wanda to be hurt anymore. I can't about you guys and I don't want to be the one who gets you killed!"
Pietro let out a sigh.
"Then let me make this easier for you. The only way that your father can hurt me more is if he hurts you."
Gemma looked at Pietro with wide eyes.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Your my biggest weakness."
Gemma began to feel her face flare up.
"No." She shook her head. "No."
"Gemma?" Pietro began to come closer to her.
"No, this can't happen!" She yelled.
"What do you mean this?"
"You, me!" She continued. "He'll use it against me. He'll threaten to hurt you and have me do stuff to protect you. I-"
"Hey" he cut her off "I won't let that happen.
Gemma smiled and looked up into his blue eyes. Pietro smirked and looked down into her blue eyes. Everything around them disappeared and Pietro began to lean in. Gemma began to climb onto her toes. She could feel his breath on her lips.
"I'm here!" Yelled Wanda clearly out of breath.
Gemma and Pietro quickly separated and were red. Wanda looked between the two and realized what she'd done.
"Sorry! I didn't know there-"
"It's fine Wanda." Her twin cut in. "We were just leaving."
Wanda nodded and mumbled to herself.
"Why do I keep doing that?!"
Pietro smiled at his twins conflict and looked at Gemma, who was standing still with her hands on her arms. He offered her his hand.
"Coming?" He asked.
Gemma shook her head.
"I'll catch up later."
Pietro nodded and walked away. One day I'll get her he thought. One day her father won't be holding her back.
Gemma watched Pietro walk away. Once he was out of sight she jumped and squealed in delight. After she had regathered herself she followed the path back into the building.
One day we won't be here. She thought. One day we'll be free and choose what we want to be, and I'll know where I want to be.
