       “A beer it is.” she smiled and went for the kitchen just next door, so she could still hear him. “Sokovia, huh? Yeah I heard stuff about over there.” She came back with two open beers and handed Pietro his as she sat down next to him. “I’m sorry. I know what it’s like to be left alone in this shitty world.” In this, their stories were quite similar and they both went through the same pain. “To… shitty teenagehood then. And, family?” 

His past wasn’t as hurtful as it used to be, but it didn’t mean he didn’t like to dwell on it. “To shitty teenagehood,” he echoed before taking a drink. “What happened in your shitty teenagehood? I mean, I did share after all.”

        “Guess not. Still, I bet you’d be awful at hide and seek.”

“What are you talking about? I’m the best at hide and seek. I’ve been hiding all my life.”

        “Wait…shot at you? Seriously? Like I know you’re annoying but that seems a bit drastic, ya know?”

“Thanks for that,” he said jokingly as he chuckled a little, “But yes, seriously. I don’t recommend it.”

       She felt stupid anyway. God she was so bad with social interactions it was getting awkward. She made flowers grow on her palm and give them to Pietro. “There. For you.” she tried with a weird smile. The mutant watched them both. “Yeah, I know what you mean. Where did you grow up? If… you don’t mind me asking of course. I’d understand better than anyone if you don’t wish to talk about it.” she asked kindly. “Oh and sit if you want. Something to drink?”

Pietro hadn’t been paying attention when Leah made the flowers in her palm until she held them out for him. “Should I be giving you flowers?” he jested as he took them. “But thank you, I like them.” He wasn’t exactly sure what quite to do with them so he held onto them as he looked around once more at the place. “Sokovia,” he replied at first just before he at down. “A beer would be great.” It was a nice chance to prepare himself as he spoke about the childhood that was his and Wanda’s. “My sister and I lost our parents to a bomb that landed in our building. Wanda and I were the only ones to survive. We grew up on the streets after that, stealing and staying in bombed out places in the town that we could find to survive.”

as much as he hated to admit defeat he saw no way he was coming out of this a winner right now. anger boiled within him as he stared at barnes. if looks could kill this one would be dead in an instant. “alright, captain. don’t whine to me later that i didn’t warn you.” looking quickly back over to pietro he scoffed, “just know i gave you two a chance. whatever happens now is on your shoulders.” one last dig to get in there and one last attempt at something. this wasn’t over. pietro would be alone again and he would make sure bucky was far far away. slowly, he took a step back before moving quickly from the alleyway.

@sgt-barnes· @didnseethatcomingpietro·

       “Yeah, neither do you” he found smart to add. Because he knew Zemo would have more trouble coming his way than them. For once it would change. James didn’t move until he couldn’t see Zemo. Even then he waited a minute before lowering his gun. As he turned towards Pietro, he stayed alert, just in case. “He’s pissed,” James spoke with a smile before patting Pietro’s shoulder. “It seems like nothing maybe, but we had him today… We’re gonna get her back. I promise you.” Pietro didn’t need to know his plan, only his support. 

@didnseethatcomingpietro·

Pietro remained silent but boy, did he want to start punching the ever living hell out of Zemo until he told them where his sister was. He tried to keep his anger in check and didn’t let it blow up until Zemo was gone. “Why did you let him go?” he asked. “We could have taken him back to the compound and gotten him to tell us where she is.”

[didnseethatcomingpietro]

        “So like,” the brunette starts, trying to keep up the illusion that she’s completely serious as she studies the man in front of her, “are you like a shark or something? Would you die if you sat still for too long?”

@didnseethatcomingpietro

“Maybe...” Pietro said with an impish grin on his face. “Can you blame the fastest man alive?”

[didnseethatcomingpietro]

sgt-barnes :

“really think that’s such a smart idea? need i remind you of what happened last time we had a conversation like this. what risks there are if you try anything.” he smiled. “no, i’m not letting your sister go. but that doesn’t mean you can’t still see her. there is a way. i can offer that to you, or we can keep wasting time with empty threats”

      Bucky jumped off the rooftop he was in, finishing his rush next to Pietro, aiming his gun at Zemo. “There is no way at all you lying bastard.” He had indeed kept an eye on Pietro, to be sure when exactly would Zemo act on him. And it happened today. James would not let that be, not on his watch. “You’re not getting him.”

Pietro had a feeling that he wasn’t going to like what Zemo had to say about ways to see his sister, but he would do just about anything to bring her back. Before  he could hear it, though, Bucky appeared and he just grinned. “You’re not the only one with back up.”

magneticus-erik :

“Why would I lie?” He asked as a reply because sometimes, a justification could just feel unnecessary, saying less than a simple question.

“I don’t know....because you enjoy twisting people?” Honestly, Pietro didn’t know why he would lie about something like this, but he didn’t want to believe it.

       Leah rolled his eyes when he mentioned free foods. Of course. She took it lightly though and looked down at the present. “Really?” She really wasn’t used to receiving gifts. “… Thank you.” She opened it to find the bracelet. Leah smiled and put it on her wrist. “It’s lovely, thank you.” But then she felt stupid. “Oh, I… didn’t get you anything… I’m– bad at this.” She admitted awkwardly. “I can get you flowers, though.” Ari cam at this moment and happily said hi to Pietro. “I’m not the best when it comes to decoration, sadly. So it’s, quite simple.”

Pietro shrugged. He didn’t need any gifts and the one he wanted, he couldn’t have until they figured out how to get Wanda back. “Don’t worry about it,” he replied, turning to look back at her. “You invited me over and we’re gonna have food. That’s present enough for me.” He spotted Ari as soon a she came into the room and instantly bent down to be on his level. “Hey, buddy,” he greeted, scratching behind his ears before gazing back at Leah. “Sometimes simple is better. Growing up, I didn’t really have a home. Something like this was heaven compared to what I went through.”

        “Are you telling me that you were born to be a petty theif and this hero thing just sprang itself on you? Or are you saying that you’re not the worst? ‘Cause either way I’m not buying it.“

“Born to be a thief? Nah, I don’t think so, but I definitely was molded into the best. But yes, the hero thing did just kind of spring onto me. Well... more like shot me, but that’s a long story.”

[didnseethatcomingpietro]

lxrnvdvnc :

        “Has anyone ever told you you’re the absolute worst? I mean really, I thought you were supposed to be a hero or something, not some petty theif,” she scoffed, rolling her eyes and grabbing a chocolate cupcake for herself.

Pietro laughed, taking a bite of the cupcake. “Oh, you would be saying differently if you knew me growing up.”

[didnseethatcomingpietro]

lxrnvdvnc :

        “Sorry, Speedy. Guess you should’ve gotten here quicker.” Technically there is still one red velvet cupcake that hasn’t been at least partially eaten, but it’s already in her hand and there is no way she’s giving it up now that she knows he wants it. “I think there’s a few chocolate left.”

Pietro spotted the one red velvet in her hand and smirked a little. “Is that so?” he asked before using his speed to get from her hand and return to where he was standing with it. “Mm, Red Velvet,” he hummed just before licking some of the frosting off.

[didnseethatcomingpietro]

“you know…you are not an easy man to track down. not just because of the whole speed thing. you’re far less….predictable than your sister is.” zemo smiled. “though i’m sure you’ve got your own faults. i’m sure i’ll learn them all soon enough.”

@didnseethatcomingpietro @sgt-barnes

Pietro crossed his arms as the devil himself appeared before him. “I could say the same about you. Ready to let go of my sister or should I just start beating the shit out of you now?”

       Leah felt his presence before he made himself known. She couldn’t really help it. She went to open the door and awkwardly smiled to him. “Hey. You came.” Of course he came… She asked him to come. And she was happy he accepted. “Huh, enter, please, make yourself at home. You can put your jacket here if you want.”

Pietro tried to not show the awkwardness of celebrating without his sister as the door before him opened. Wanda would want him to enjoy himself, so he was going to try his hardest. Instead, he smiled. “I can’t pass up free food,” he said jokingly, stepping inside and fiddling with the present in his hands. “Oh, I brought this for you. It’s not much, really.” If by not much, you mean a charm bracelet with a Star of David on it, then yeah, it was definitely not much. He wasn’t sure what a good Hanukkah present would be for a person that was a close friend. “So, this is where you live,” he said, looking around as he shed his jacket. “It looks nice.”

“Please tell me that not all of the red velvet cupcakes are gone,” he said, arriving within seconds of hearing how there were cupcakes up for grabs in one of the lounges at the mansion.
