Can't Ask, Don't Need, Won't Acknowledge

Chapter 6: Sheer Stupidity

Vision nodded.

"Tell them," muttered Wanda. Vision turned to her, as if to make sure she heard the words she had said. "We need help."

Vision turned his earpiece on, "I am in need of assistance. I'm trapped in the base."

Wanda heard Tony's voice come over the line, "Vision just phase through the walls. And get out? Or are you injured?"

"I am uninjured," expressed Vision quickly. Making Wanda slap her hand against her head. Tony had just given them the perfect excuse and Vision hadn't taken it. This time Steve's voice came over the comms, "Then why can't you phase? We are all a bit occupied at the moment."

Wanda could hear the gunfire from where she was stood. She found her stomach dropping when she realised the situation they were in. She grabbed Vision's arm, "Don't worry Vis we will get out on our own."

"Who was that?" asked another voice over the system, "Have you got someone with you?"

Wanda shook her head furiously. "Um... No," lied Vision.

"Vision you are literally the worst liar in the world," said Natasha over the communication link. "What's going on?"

Wanda was looking at him with pleading eyes but he looked back to the barricaded door, which he could feel the soldiers starting to push against.

"I have Wanda with me," he rushed out in one breath. Wanda visibility flinched at the words. There was silence over the communicators.

"Wanda Scarlett Maximoff!!" came the screeching voice over the communication device. Vision visibly flinched at the sound.

"Oww Romanoff, did you have to shout so loud, your errant teenager is the only without an earpiece," moaned Tony over the line.

"Vision put her on." Stated Natasha firmly. Vision handed the earpiece to Wanda who reluctantly clicked it into place.

"Hey Nat," she said weakly.

"Where are you?" asked Natasha clearly. There were hundred other things she wanted to say to the teenager in that moment but settled for business first.

"Basement level, we have barricaded ourselves in a room in the east wing," explained being equally Wanda to the point.

"I'm coming to get you," replied Natasha sternly. "Are you injured?" she asked in a slightly softer tone.

"No I'm fine," said Wanda quietly.

"Good, at least I now know I can kick your ass when I find you." Wanda gulped audibly.

Though It was getting harder to hear over the battering the door was now taking. Vision grabbed the earpiece off of Wanda. "We need urgent assistance; the door is not going to hold."

"You keep her safe vision," pleaded Clint.

Wanda turned her attention back to the the barricaded door, and starting lifting her arms up the door. Vision placed his arms up in unison. "You ready for this?"

Wanda nodded at that the barricade broke and the soldiers were there. Luckily the effect of having so many people trying to get through one entrance was that they got in each other's way. Making them slow and easier targets to hit with their powers. Wanda flicked her wrists sending multiple targets flying backwards into the other men trying to bulldoze their way through. Wanda kept throwing multiple people into the corridor walls and into each other, but the lack of space meant she was limited in the force she could generate so they quickly kept coming back at them. In the end Wanda threw her shield up in the doorway, preventing them from getting to them.
