Chapter 4
“So..” Peter started, letting his eyes glide over the room. “How long are we going to sit here?”
Pietro just shouldered his shoulder, it had been about twenty minutes since Tony and Natasha had stepped into the kitchen and left the two speedsters on the sofa.
“What are they going to do to me?” Peter asked a little worry creeping into his voice, he really hated the idea of being locked away in a small room.
“They're not going to do anything to you.” Pietro sighed, flashing a quick smile. “I’m not going to let them.”
“Why?” The silver haired speedster asked. “Why are you so sure i’m not going to turn evil or something, how do you know i’m not lying to you?”
To this Pietro just snickered. “I know because i can feel it.” Pietro answered, placing a finger to the side of his head. “In here i can feel you, it’s like a mind thing.”
Peter nodded understanding. “I know what you mean, i’m use to having people in my head but this feels weird.”
“People in you’re head.” Pietro laughed at the weird frasing. “It sounds like quite the life you have had.”
“Yeah, it’s not relly what you can call a normal-”
“Pietro Maximoff!” A loud yell was heard from the door as two people walked into the room. “Why are you up when you should be resting in-”
The red haired woman cut herself off when she noticed the silver haired boy sitting beside her brother. Even without his silver jacket and goggles it wasn’t hard to figure out who he was.
“What’s he doing here?” She asked stirnly and Pietro noticed her hand starting to shine slightly red. “Shouldn’t he be locked up or something.”
“Why dose everyone wan’t to lock me up.” Peter mumbled.
“Ah Wanda.” Pietro quickly stood up to calm his sister down. “He’s not dangerus and it won’t be right to lock him up. He won’t do anything to us so don’t get youreself worked up, okay?”
Wanda slowly lowered her hand but stopped when she noticed the weird look the silver haired boy was giving her.
“What are you looking at!” She snerd and he quickly looked down.
“Yes Peter.” Pietro smiled as he immediately understood why the speedster was looking. “this is Wanda, my sister.”
“A word Pietro.” Wanda said through her teeth before pulling her brother further away in the room. “What the hell is this, why did you tell him something like that?”
“It’s.. It’s complicated.” Pietro said unsure if his sister would bye it.
“Well then explain it to me short because i don’t know if you’re seriously that stupid right now.”
“Well..He’smefromanalternivedimentionandhedontknowhowhegothereorhowtogethomebutiknowhesnotheretohurtussoitsokaypleasetrustme.” Pietro quickly answered, earning a raist brow from Wanda.
“Okay.. I heard Dimention, dangerus and trust.” The red haired woman sighed. “What’s this all about Piet-”
“Don’t let them lock me up!”
Without any warning Peter was beside them, hiding behind Pietro while holding onto his arm.
“What are you-” Pietro started but grew silent when he saw three new people in the room, both had their weapons drawn.
Steve had his shield in his hand as he was looking at the spot where Peter had probably been seconds earlier. Behind the super soldier Pietro could see the familiar brown hair and metal arm that he associated with Bucky. He could also make out Bruce’s usual lab coat in the crowed.
“What the fuck was that!” Wanda yelled, taking a couple of steps backwards as she looked at Peter who was still hiding behind her brother. “It can teleport!”
“Yah!” Peter yelled at her, he could stand a lot but being called a ‘it’ was a step to far. “I’m not a ‘it’ i have a name you know.”
“What’s going on here?” Caps voice rang through the room as he took a step towards the two speedsters. “Who said he could be let out of the room.”
“Wait cap its-” Pietro tried but was interrupted.
“No! He’s going back at once. We can’t have people running around here, especially not someone who can teleport.”
“Okay! Calm down!” Tony’s voice rang as he and Natasha came out of the kitchen. “Everyone just calm the fuck down.”
“What is going on here?” Wanda asked for what felt like the million time.
“It’s compli-”
“Nothing is complicated for you Stark.” Wanda snapped. “Explain what’s happening now!”
Tony let out a deep sigh, rubbing a finger over his brow before turning to Pietro. “Mind doing the introduction kid.”
All eyes turned towards the two speedsters at once and Pietro swallowed slowly before opening his mouth.
“Well.. ehm.. Everyone this it Peter.. I.. I think that the machine from the hydra lad might have been a teleporter.. between dimensions and.. well.. Peter is.. Peter is me.” Pietro said unsure. “From another dimension that is..”
“Just because your names sound alike you think his you from another dimension?” Bucky spoke up, earning some nodes from around the room.
“Well.. ehm.. to formally introduce him.. Guy’s this is Peter maximoff and he’s not a teleporter.” Pietro hurriedly said and he saw Wanda’s eyes growing large. “He’s a-”
“Speedster.” Wanda ended and he nodded.
“Ehm..” Peter said as he looked around the room, studding everyone's faces. “Hi.”
“But it can’t be possible, i mean traveling between dimensions shouldn’t be possible, at least not without getting badly hurt or straight of shattered to pieces.” Bruce said as he stepped forwards, taking a closer look at the silver haired boy who was still slightly hiding behind Pietro.
“Well it’s not 100% fact but i don’t really know what else it could be.” Pietro answered, scratching the back of his head.
“So you’re name is Peter Maximoff?” Steve asked, taking a step forward as he lowered his shield. “Where do you come from?”
“Ehm.. do you want to know the place or time?” Peter asked making some eyebrows rase.
“Time?” Wanda asked confused.
“I come from 1983.” Peter snickered innocently. “If you have to know.”
It became completely silent for a while until Bruce spoke up.
“That explains the clothes and that old school junk you have on your belt.”
“Yah!” Peter yelled, again, he could take a lot but insulting his precise walk man was a lot of steps to far. “It’s not junk!”
“I actually agree with him.” Pietro nodded. “It look super cool, maybe i should get a style makeover.”
“You think so?” Peter asked, his face lighting up at the comanet and Pietro nodded.
“Enough you too.” Steve interrupted them. “Do you remember what you were doing before coming here Peter.” The super soldier asked, still sounding rather sceptical to the whole thing.
“Ehm..” Peter sighed, looking up to the roof. “I was practicing with Kurt behind the school… that’s the last thing i remember before blacking out.”
“Kurt?” Pietro asked curious.
“It’s a friend and fellow X-man.” Peter smiled. “He’s a nice guy but a bit weird.. but so am i so..”
“Pietro also mention something about X-man.” Tony spoke up, eyes still glued to the tablet in his hand. “What is it?”
Peter looked thoughtful for a while before answering. “From what i understand it’s pretty much like you guy’s, like the Avengers. Only were not superheros, were mutants and we live in a school where we learn to control our power. But otherwise it’s pretty much the same.”
“Really..” Steve said, glancing towards the speedster out of the corner of his eyes.
“Yeah..” Peter said. “It sounds pretty weird saying it out loud though.. hehe..”
It was quiet for a while before Pietro spoke up, surprising everyone. “Who’s Wolverine?”
“Uh..” Peter looked at him surprised. “How did you know about old man Logan?”
“it was just a name that popped up in my head.” Pietro admitted. “When i was out cold so i thought maybe it had something to do with you.”
“Yeah.” Peter nodded. “Logan aka Wolverine was the one who technically got me involved with the X-man and frankly a bit of an ass.”
Pietro let out a loud laugh at the last comment and Peter smiled big at the reaction.
“Pietro.” Cap said sternly, causing the two speedster’s to fall quiet. “I must agree that the whole dimension thing sound like it could be something so i will allow Peter to walk around freely but he can’t go outside the tower and someone must have eyes on his at all times.”
“I’ll do it.” Pietro quickly said. “I’ll keep an eye on him.”
Cap nodded to this. “Okay, i’ll allow that but if you notice something’s wrong then you must come to any of us at once.”
“Deal.” Pietro nodded. “Can i show him around now, i need to move or else i will literally die.”
