Avenger's new Recruit

Chapter 34

At the Avengers Compound. Steve catches Wanda watching a news report on the Lagos attack and how they blame her for it.

News Anchor #1: "11 Wakandans were among those killed during a confrontation between the Avengers and a group of mercenaries in Lagos, Nigeria, last month. The traditionally reclusive Wakandans were on an outreach mission in Lagos when the attack occurred."
King T'Chaka: "Our people's blood is spilled on foreign soil. Not only because of the actions of criminals, but by the indifference of those pledged to stop them. Victory at the expense of the innocent, is no victory at all."
News Anchor #1: "The Wakanda king went on to . . .

Steve, who was watching the news, turns his computer off, but sound drifts toward him from another room.

News anchor #2: "They are operating outside and above the international law. Because that's the reality, if we don't respond to acts like these."
[Wanda is sitting on her bed, watching the news on her TV.]
News Anchor #2 "What legal authority does an enhanced individual like Wanda Maximoff have to operate in Nigeri -"
[The TV turns off. Steve sets the remote down and leans on the door frame.]
Wanda: "It's my fault."
Steve: "That's not true."
Wanda: "Turn the TV back on. They're being very specific."
Steve: "I should've clocked that bomb vest long before you had to deal with it."
[He walks over.]
Steve: "Rumlow said "Bucky" and . . . all of a sudden I was a 16-year-old kid again, in Brooklyn."
[He sits beside Wanda.]
Steve: "And people died. It's on me."
Wanda: "It's on both of us."
Steve: "This job . . . we try to save as many people as we can. Sometimes that doesn't mean everybody. But if we can't find a way to live with that, next time . . . maybe nobody gets saved."
[Vision materializes through the wall. Wanda starts.]
[Vision interrupts Wanda and Steve by walking through the wall into Wanda's room]
Wanda: "Vis! We talked about this."
Vision: "Yes, but the door was open so I assumed that . . ."
[He gestures at the door and stops.]
Vision: "Captain Rogers wished to know when Mr. Stark was arriving."
Steve: "Thank you. We'll be right down."
Vision: "I'll . . . use the door. Oh, and apparently, he's brought a guest."
Steve: "We know who it is?"
Vision: "The Secretary of State."

The Secretary of State, Thaddeus Ross, is standing at the head of a table. Rhodey, Natasha, Steve, Tony, Sam, Vision, and Wanda are gathered around.
The Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross has summoned the Avengers to a meeting

Secretary Ross: "Five years ago, I had a heart attack. I dropped right in the middle of my back-swing. Turned out it was the best round of my life, because after 13 hours of surgery and a triple bypass . . . I found something 40 years in the Army had never taught me: Perspective. The world owes the Avengers an un-payable debt. You have fought for us, protected us, risked your lives . . . but while a great many people see you as heroes, there are some . . . who would prefer the word "vigilantes"."
Natasha: "And what word would you use, Mr. Secretary?"
Secretary Ross: "How about "dangerous"? What would you call a group of US-based, enhanced individuals who routinely ignore sovereign borders and inflict their will wherever they choose and who, frankly, seem unconcerned about what they leave behind?"

Ross activates a screen behind him. News footage from past Avengers and SHIELD matters flash on the screen as he speaks.

Secretary Ross: "New York."
[A Chitauri leviathan. Terrified citizens. A soldier firing a gun. The Hulk smashes into a building and sends a dust cloud to engulf the camera.]
[Rhodey looks regretful. He glances behind him at Natasha.]
Secretary Ross: "Washington DC."
[The three Insight helicarriers, firing on each other. The destroyed Triskelion. A helicarrier crashing into the Potomac and throwing up a massive wave, engulfing citizens and the camera.]
[Sam looks down.]
Secretary Ross: "Sokovia."
[Terrified citizens, running. The city rising. A building falling over.]
[Wanda stares at the screen, as does Tony.]
Secretary Ross: "Lagos."
[The burning building. Paramedics moving a body. A dead girl.]
[Wanda is particularly affected by the footage from Lagos. Steve sees this and intervenes.]
Steve: "Okay. That's enough."
[Secretary Ross nods to an aide and the images disappear.]
Secretary Ross: "For the past four years, you've operated with unlimited power and no supervision. That's an arrangement the governments of the world can no longer tolerate. But I think we have a solution."
[he places a thick document on the desk and passes it to Wanda]
[An aide hands him a thick book, which Ross slides across the table to Wanda. She picks it up, then slides it to Rhodey.]
Secretary Ross: "The Sokovia Accords. Approved by 117 countries . . . it states that the Avengers shall no longer be a private organization. Instead, they'll operate under the supervision of a United Nations panel, only when and if that panel deems it necessary."
Steve: "The Avengers were formed to make the world a safer place. I feel we've done that."
Secretary Ross: "Tell me, Captain, do you know where Thor and Banner are right now?"
[Steve looks up and meets Ross's eyes.]
Secretary Ross: "If I misplaced a couple of 30 megaton nukes . . . you can bet there'd be consequences. Compromise. Reassurance. That's how the world works. Believe me, this is the middle ground."
Rhodey : "So, there are contingencies."
Secretary Ross: "Three days from now, the UN meets in Vienna to ratify the Accords."
[Steve glances at Tony.]
Secretary Ross: "Talk it over."
Natasha: "And if we come to a decision you don't like?"
Secretary Ross: "Then you retire."
[he leaves as Steve holds the flash drive]
Tony: "They will take y/n away from you if you don't sign this contract."
Steve: "Rumlow gave me a drive maybe it has information we could use."
Natasha: "Give it to me I'll put it in."

Flash playing
Y/n: "Dad?"
Dad: "It's me."
Y/n: "Wait....your working with Hydra now?"
Dad: "You could say that."
Y/n: "Why?"
Dad: "The day i left was the day I told your mother about Bucky and how he was our experiment and it worked. I wanted to give you the super soldier serum once you turned 15. Your mother got in the way and forbidden me to do so. I left and we made plan unfortunately your mother had to be killed."
Y/n: "What about my brother?"
Dad: "He helped you get stronger."
Y/n: "Stronger!?"
Dad: "Your more stronger than ever aren't you?"
Y/n: "Yeah because I have to fight for my safety because of you. And you did this intentionally?"
Dad: "I had to do it. You can be as strong as Bucky and help him with the missions."
Y/n: "What if I don't want to? Are you gonna erase my memory too?"
Dad: "I'm sorry y/n."
Y/n: "Why are you doing this? This doesn't make sense. I thought you loved my mother and my brother. Our family but you took it away because you wanted to inject me with a stupid soldier serum what the actual fuck is wrong with you!?"
Dad: "Y/n I need you to calm down."
Y/n: "CALM DOWN?, it took me forever to stop struggling with the loss of my mother and brother and I'm still trying hard to forget about it but then you come along and it turns out it was all your fault! If you wanted to give someone the super soldier serum why did you have to pick me?"
Dad: "Because ever since you were born I knew you'd be the one, don't you get how lucky you are. You have proven to me that you are the strongest. And that's exactly what I need...*GUNSHOTS
Y/n: "DAD!"
(They see you getting your memory wiped and getting the soldier serum)
Wanda: "Oh my god"
Natasha: "No"
