Paris Holds the Key: Wanda and Pietro
Pietro didn’t want to let go of her, it seemed. Not that she was any different. Even as his hand cupped her cheek, she reached for his free one, squeezing his fingers.
“You should start exercising with Steve,” she told him, picking up her suitcase and moving toward the door. “You would be able to run with our bags, me, and maybe even our airplane seats.”
She grinned teasingly at him as they exited the building. The sun shone down on them and she smiled, closing her eyes and tilting her head back to face its rays. “It is nice, don’t you think? We saw the sun so little in Sokvia…I think I like New York. The weather is nice, and we have friends and family here.”
She squeezed his hand again. “Tony and Steve have helped me with my abilities, and Steve has been helping with my training. How is Sharon?”
Sharon had let Pietro use her car to take Wanda to the airport--she would pick it up later that day. It was odd driving a car--much too confining for the mutant. But it would have to suffice for now. The vehicle sat in front of the building, waiting for the twins to come and give it life once more.
“Wanda, I think I would need to have more than two arms to do that,” he chuckled, opening the car door for his sister. Pietro listened to her as she spoke, enjoying just how happy she sounded. It had been such a rare occurrence when they were growing up that it had grown into a delicacy that the speedster revered. A wide grin was painted on his face as loaded the car with their bags.As he settled into the driver’s seat, he offered his hand out to her, and to his pleasure, she took it.
“I’m glad they’re helping you,” he noted, starting up the car. “Sharon is doing well...she really wants to get to know you better. You should have dinner with us sometime soon.”
