ACT THREE ━━━ CHAPTER FIFTEEN,
❝ we'd love to help, your majesty ❞

"𝓗e did what?!" Lucrecia exclaimed way too loudly which got a shh from Wanda. The two of them were currently in the corner of the average-sized room in Wakanda, talking about how their brother had completely abandoned them to travel the world by himself.

"Sorry," Lucrecia quickly apologized, feeling eyes on the two of them.

"He actually just went and that's it?" She asked, speaking lowly.

Wanda nodded, "Yeah, he just told me that he was going to travel the world, and then he sped away before I could even say anything about it."

When Pietro and Wanda met up after Steve broke them out, he had told her about his plan to use this time to travel the world since that was all he had ever dreamed about since they were captured in Hydra. Being stuck in that building for years made him fantasize about what else the world offered, thus the dream of traveling the world became his biggest one since then.

"We're on the run because of what happened — him included. Pietro's going to get caught," The younger twin retorted, a hint of worry laced in her tone.

Pietro was one to do whatever he felt like doing, it was like that since they were kids. But running away to travel the world when you're basically labeled as a criminal was a very bad move.

Lucrecia sighed and lowered her head, cursing her brother in her head.

Wanda crossed her arms with a frown on her face, "I'm not sure if he even knows what's going to happen to us — to you."

Steve, Lucrecia, Nat, Sam, and Sharon were on the run because of the crimes they committed. Bucky was on the run as well but he decided to make a big decision and get the mind-control that Hydra had on him sorted out, he chose to go back into the ice while T'Challa, who offered help, would help him with it.

The female Maximoffs went to Wakanda with Steve and Bucky since they had nowhere else to go and their brother had fled the minute he got the chance.

"Yeah," Lucrecia sighed, only now remembering how she was on the run. "I forgot about that."

Wanda rolled her eyes and scoffed in disbelief, "You forgot about it? It's a big deal, Lu!" She scolded which made Lucrecia cast her eyes to the ground. "You could go to prison. Hell, Pietro might get caught because of his antics and we both know how careless he is. Even worse, you-"

"I get it, Wan," Lucrecia cut her off from listing the thousands of problems they had. Wanda huffed and dropped her arms to her side in defeat, sighing heavily.

"I'm sorry," Wanda apologized, placing her hand on her head and rubbing her temples. "I just don't want to lose any of you. I almost lost the two of you before, I don't want to lose you again or ever." She said, remembering the incident in Sokovia.

Lucrecia's expression turned into a saddened one, feeling guilty about the pressure she put on her sister's shoulders. She stepped closer to her sister and embraced her in a big hug, Wanda almost immediately hugged her back.

"Don't worry, Wan," she told her older sister, "He'll come back in about a week or two, trust me. That boy can't stand being away from his two annoying little sisters."

Lucrecia pulled away first and cupped Wanda's face in her hands, smiling softly. "Besides, he could never run away from us. I always know where he hides, that's why I was always the best at hide and seek."

Wanda chuckled lightly, shaking her head at her younger sister.

"Ms. Maximoff and . . . Ms. Maximoff," Someone called out which made their heads turn to who called them. It was one of the Dora Milaje, the female warriors of Wakanda.

She stood tall with a straight face, her blazing eyes making eye contact with the Maximoff's blue ones.

"My Prince and the Captain wishes to talk to you both," She started, "Both are waiting for your arrival in the room where the Winter Soldier is currently being held."

Wanda nodded at her kindly, giving the woman a smile. "Thank you, we'll be there."

The Dora Milaje nodded firmly and walked away, not saying another word.

Once she left, Lucrecia let out a breath she was holding. She turned to her sister, "Is it just me or does she kind of scare me?"

Wanda laughed and took her hand, leading the both of them to a room nearby, where T'Challa, Steve, and Bucky were in.

The second they stepped into the room, Steve was quick to walk toward her in a hurry.

"Lu," He voiced, looking her in the eye, "can we talk?"

She nodded her head and followed him as he guided her outside the room, leaving her sister behind with T'Challa.

They ended up in another room not so far away from the previous room they were in, the room looked like a small lounge area but it was only the two of them present in the fairly medium-sized room.

Lucrecia sat on one of the couches, which were super comfortable.

Steve placed his hands in his pockets and watched her, his eyes softening at the cuteness of this girl.

"What did you want to talk about, Stevie?" She broke the silence, making Steve clear his throat, and went to sit beside her.

He gently took both her hands and brought them up to his mouth, kissing them softly making Lucrecia hold in a breath.

"I just wanted to apologize and explain to you about what happened with . . . Sharon." He continued when she just stayed silent, "I wanted to make it clear to you that I don't have any romantic feelings for Sharon or any feelings whatsoever. So please don't think that I do because I actually like you not her. I like you very, very much and I don't want you to ove—"

Steve was silenced with a kiss from Lucrecia.

His eyes widened the size of a golf ball but soon relaxed and kissed her back, pulling her closer to him.

She pulled away from their little make-out session and giggled, making Steve smile big.

"What's with that smile of yours, huh?"

Lucrecia's smile grew at his words, resting her forehead against his. "I needed to shut you up, you talk too much." She said, making him chuckle.

". . . So you forgive me?"

She pulled away and stared deep into his eyes. "You know I do."

Steve was unable to hide his smile and pulled her even closer.

"Now. Let's finish what we had, yeah?"

𝓣'Challa and Wanda were talking but stopped their conversation when they heard the door open. Lucrecia sprinted to her sister and pulled her arm, signaling that they should talk.

Wanda excused herself from T'Challa and was dragged by her triplet while Steve stopped beside T'Challa and the two of them began to talk about Bucky's situation.

"Wanda, you'll never believe what just happened!"

Lucrecia then gossiped to her sister about everything that happened while she and Steve were gone.

By the end of Lucrecia going crazy while telling the story, Wanda's mouth was just wide open in surprise.

Seconds later, Steve and T'Challa turned their heads to the two girls when they heard loud squealing. The two girls were found jumping around with happy grins on their faces, gripping eachother while turning around in circles.

Steve chuckled at the scene, licking his lips as he too couldn't keep his mind off of the violet-powered girl.

Once the girls finally calmed down, they went back to the two men and discussed what they were going to do with Bucky.

Bucky came to the decision to go back on ice while Shuri and the Maximoff sisters helped mend his mind to get rid of the cursed side that Hydra had control over him for decades.

"Lucrecia, my sister has requested for you and your sister to help her in attempting to help Mr. Barnes," T'Challa told the girls.

Wanda and Lucrecia glanced at eachother while the two men just watched as they communicated in their minds.

It wasn't long before they made up their decisions and agreed.

"Yes, we'd love to help, Your Majesty."

T'Challa held up a hand, "No need to address me by that, just call me T'Challa." The girls nodded and smiled politely at the Wakandan Prince.
