(Y/n) POV

I wake up from a nap and walk out of Wanda's room and start wandering around Avengers Tower. I look in the kitchen and see both Hulk and Thor about to duke it out over the last cookie, which I quietly take while they're not looking and continue down the hall. I pass by the lab and see Tony, Ant-Man, and Falcon doing, something, complicated. I brush it off and walk away, I then end up in the lounge room and see Cap demolishing another sandbag, I have no idea why he still uses those. I look around and see Clint tinkering with his arrows, curious, I walk over.

Clint: Hey buddy.

(Y/n): What are you doing?

Clint: Tinkering with some of my trick arrows. *picks up arrow* Like this one, it carries shrunken arrows in the capsule on the head thanks to Scott's Pym particles, when I shoot it, the head will release all the arrows and they'll all grow into regular sized arrows to create an arrow storm.

(Y/n): So one arrow turns into a hundred mid-flight?

Clint: Yes. *picks up another arrow* This one has a virus encoded into it, thanks to JARVIS, which will shut down all electronics in a given area.

I see one arrow off to the side on some elevated struts and reach for it as I ask.

(Y/n): What about this one?

Clint: No, wait-

Too late, the second I touch the arrow, Clint dives for cover before the arrow explodes in my face, sending me across the room. I recover from the blast unharmed and Clint pokes his head out and sheepishly says.

Clint: That was an explosive arrow that reacts to high heat to make a bigger explosion.

(Y/n): Oh. *growls in frustration* I hate my powers!

Wanda: *runs into room* What happened?!

I run past Wanda and to, I don't know where, just anywhere but with the other Avengers.

Wanda POV

Wanda: Is everyone okay?

Clint: I'm good. Only my table was destroyed. I'm still surprised the explosion wasn't bigger.

Wanda: How did this happen?

Clint explained and I grow worried, so I look around the tower for (Y/n), eventually, I find him outside sitting on the helipad, crying into his knees.

Wanda: (Y/n)?

(Y/n) doesn't even raise his head or stop crying, so I approach and sit down next to him. I go to touch his shoulder, but his skin burns my hand upon contact and I quickly pull my hand away hissing quietly.

(Y/n): Wanda, I don't want my powers, all I do is hurt people. Those HYDRA people were right, I am nothing but a weapon!

Wanda: Hey, you stop talking like that. We both know it's not true.

That didn't seem to calm him down and he continued crying.

Wanda: ..... You know I hated my powers too when I first got them.

This finally causes (Y/n) to raise his head and look at me.

Wanda: After I broke out and joined the Avengers soon afterwards, I hated my powers and was scared of them, just like you. Then I was taught that like it or not, I have these powers and I needed to control them in order to gain some sense of normal, and this is where I am.

(Y/n): *sniffles* I just want them gone.

Wanda: And if we could figure out a way to do that we would, but right now you need to learn to get over your fear and control your abilities. Come on.

(Y/n): Where are we going?

Wanda: No better time like the present to start training those powers of yours. Let's go.

(Y/n) eventually gives in and follows me to the training room, when we reach it, I use the training simulation computer to set up a target for (Y/n).

Wanda: Now, I want you to use your powers on this target, that way we can gauge what needs to be done for you to get control of yourself.

(Y/n): You know, when I do this, bad things tend to happen.

Wanda: That's because you're letting your powers control you, instead of you controlling it. That's why we're here, (Y/n). It's why we're training. Give it all you've got.

(Y/n): If you're serious about this you might want to leave the room.

Wanda: Okay. Doors shut?

(Y/n): Yeah.

I walk out and close the doors, I see Natasha and Cap round the corner when I say...

Wanda: Whenever you're ready, (Y/n).

Steve: What's going on?

*muffled explosion*

I open the door and see the entire training room is covered in flames.

Wanda: Oh my gosh.

I quickly tap the fire containment button and the flames start getting put out, but (Y/n) still looks upset because the target dummy was the only thing untouched by the flame.

Wanda: I will help you control this, (Y/n). I promise.

(Y/n) POV

Timeskip 3 Weeks Later

I am running with Cap to help strengthen my body, and I'm frustrated that I still can't control my powers, but Cap assures me that this physical exercise will help.... Yeah, I don't see it.

Steve: It's not just your firepower you need to gain control of, you also have that reptilian form to master as well. There's a reason for it, you just need to figure out for what purpose.

(Y/n): And how is this gonna help?

Steve: Well, strengthening your body and mind will help your focus, as well as making you stronger in a fight. There's a book called Dr. Jekkyl and Mr. Hyde, the principle of the story is man's inner struggle between the human and animal halves of ourselves. I think it's that struggle that's holding you back now, your reptilian half has manifested as your animal instincts.

(Y/n): I don't think I get it.

Steve: You're afraid of what you're capable of. In order to control yourself in that form, you need to let the beast out.

Later that day, I am with Thor in his room meditating. Thor is surprisingly relaxed and as still as stone, but the second I start to fidget-

Thor: *scolding* Young (Y/n)?

(Y/n): Sorry.

I go back to my position until I open my left eye and ask myself how he is able to be so relaxed.

(Y/n): *frustrated sigh* This isn't working, Thor. None of it is.

I relax my pose while Thor simply opens his eyes.

Thor: Because you are not relaxing, you are bottling up your feelings because you are scared to let your emotions out.

(Y/n): Because when I do, bad things happen.

Thor: Because you don't yet understand how to process them because you won't let them out, or rather, you weren't allowed to. Emotions are like a river, they need to flow. Stop fighting it.

After another grumbled sigh, I retake my pose and decide to try letting my emotions flow, thoughts come into my head, at first, they were they times Wanda was really nice and sweet to me, but then my memories of my time as HYDRA's lab experiment, all the pain, all agony, all the sadness.

(Y/n): Gah! *eyes shoot open* *rapid breathing* No! Leave.... *trails off*

Thor: Easy youngling.

(Y/n): I-I-I can't do it!

Thor: Yes you can! I am not asking the impossible out of you.

(Y/n): It's too scary! I can't do it!

I run of the room and hide under the bed in Wanda's room. This was going to be harder than I thought.

*soft knock*

Wanda: *muffled* (Y/n)?

The door opens and Wanda walks in, she immediately finds me under the bed and lays down on her stomach and grows an affectionate expression, she then reaches out her hand. I hesitate to take because I don't want to burn her, she smiles and says.

Wanda: Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn'r make you who you are. It is the rest of your story, who you choose to be.

I then remember all the other times I spent with the Avengers in the short time I've been here, I open my eyes and see Wanda's outstretched hand and reach for it, I touch her hand and, to my surprise, I don't burn Wanda. She smiles and holds my hand tighter and I crawl out from under the bed.

Wanda: Ready to get back to work?

I think for a moment before nodding and hugging Wanda.

Timeskip 3 Weeks Later

Tony: Alright, let's try not to burn the whole tower to the ground.

Wanda: Tony!

Tony: What?

I am once again in the training room ready to try my flames out again, and Tony and Wanda set up another dummy.

Wanda: Alright, Tony, stand on that side.

Tony: Okay?

Tony takes a stand on the right side of the target dummy, and Wanda takes a stand on the left side and says to me.

Wanda: Alright (Y/n), I want you to only hit the target dummy and try not to hit me. Understood?

(Y/n): You're serious?

Tony: Wanda are you nuts?!

Wanda: Tony don't you dare move or I'll trap you in that armor forever. *to me* I am absolutely serious, (Y/n), I have complete and utter faith in you.

I grow nervous but try and shake it off.

(Y/n): *deep breath* Inner peace.

I feel my temperature rising when I want it to, I then hear my flames engulfing me and my body starts to change into my reptilian form.

Wanda POV

I watch with a smug grin on my face as the flames engulfing (Y/n) disappear and show his reptilian form, his eyes open as his (E/C) eyes.

I notice his belly light up a little and the light quickly moves up to his mouth at which point he release a powerful stream of fire, like a flamethrower, that incinerates the target upon contact, and he didn't even singe my tracksuit or Tony's clothes.

(Y/n) stops breathing fire and reverts back to his human form, he sees his success and laughs in excitement.

Tony: Whew, that was way too close.

Wanda: Yay! (Y/n), way to go!

I run up to (Y/n) and he happily leaps into my arms, as we hug, I let some tears fall as he says.

(Y/n): I did it! I did it! I did it!

Wanda: I'm so proud of you.

(Y/n): I did it, Mama!

I was surprised that he called me Mama, but I didn't lose my smile, even when he realized he made a mistake and tried to say sorry over and over.

(Y/n): I-I-I'm sorry. I don't know why I said that.

Wanda: No, it's alright. I kind of liked it.

(Y/n): Really?

I only smile and kiss his forhead over and over causing him to start laughing as I started to tickle his sides. After a few minutes, I let up and we walked to the kitchen because (Y/n) said he was getting hungry, unsurprising, since he needs to eat a lot more than other kids his age to fuel his fire. I make his favorite, (F/F) and (Y/n) didn't turn it to ash this time. Afterwards, I got him ready for bed and as he fell asleep, I sat next to him and stroked his hair. I then hear a soft knock at the door, I kiss (Y/n)'s cheek, stand and walk to the door and open it to see Natasha.

Wanda: Nat?

Natasha: I heard he had some progress today.

I step out into the hall with her and quietly close the door.

Wanda: Yes, I think he's on his way.

Natasha: Good, I honestly feel for the kid.

Wanda: Yes, but I think we can do right by him.

Natasha: Yeah.... I think I found the facility where he was experimented on. A HYDRA base in Canada of all places.

My eyes widen at this statment and I look down for a moment before thinking about (Y/n) and something hit me, I didn't want to raid a HYDRA base, I just wanted to stay with (Y/n) and pour all the love I had into taking care of him. I manage to shake it off for the moment as I do need to know what he was put through and how to best help him further.

Wanda: *deep breath* When do we leave?

Natasha: Avenjet, 20 minutes.

(A/N): And Cut! Great take, everyone. Take the rest of the day and we'll get back to it tomorrow, or whenever we finish the props.
