AoU fix it
“Avengers,” Steve said, standing above them.
“Sorry I’m late,” a very familiar, very smug voice said from behind him. Everyone turned to see Pietro walking down to stand next to his sister.
Wanda was the first to react. “Pietro!” she shouted, flinging his arms around him.
“But…” Steve stammered. “How? You- you died.”
The speedster looked up at the captain and grinned. “I walked it off.”
“I guess Avengers are hard to kill,” Wanda said, grinning like a maniac and looking not at Pietro or Steve, but somewhere to behind him. Steve turned to see three more people. A woman with dark hair and black man who was also possibly a cyborg were flanking someone he’d never thought to see again.
Coulson rocked nervously back and forth on his heels. “Hi.”
“You-”
“Died,” Coulson said. “For five days. It’s a bit of a long story. I’ll brief you in bit, but first, this is Mike Peterson, also known as Deathlok, and this is Skye, also known as Quake. I figured the Avengers might be a better place for them.”
“Deathlok?” Rhodey asked.
“I didn’t pick it,” the man said, looking a little pained.
“I did. Mine, I mean. I picked mine. I didn’t want to have something lame or vaguely innuendo,” Skye said.
“Innuendo?”
“Skye can create and control earthquakes,” Coulson explained.
“Ah,” Pietro said with a grin. “So you can rock my world?”
“Pietro!” Wanda admonished.
He aimed a puppy-dog eyes look at her that had lost its charm years before. “Really? I die and it takes you barely two minutes to start being mean to me again.”
“That’s just how quickly you wear out your welcome, brother,” Wanda said, but she’s wearing the biggest smile any of the Avengers had ever seen on her. “I love you, though,” she said after a moment.
“Love you too, sis,” he said, giving her a grin that would have accompanied a noogie in previous years, but it does seem Pietro had matured at least a little.
“Right,” Steve coughed. “Well, okay. Avengers-”
Everyone held their breath.
“Fall in.”
