A Cute but Odd Couple
Quick note: Italics = Russian
Steve Rogers watched as Pietro Maximoff and Ivy continued to spar with each other, each trying to one up the other.
"They sure are a weird pair" Sam spoke up, snapping the soldier out of his trance "Pretty sure both of them are insane"
"Only when they spar with each other" Steve chuckled remembering the last time that it happened they had nearly wrecked the gym (though in their defence some of it had been Wanda and Vision trying to put an end to their training) "Ivy has a habit of trapping her opponents and Pietro doesn't stop zipping around"
"Aren't you worried about them?"
"Not anymore"
"Two super powered people fighting with each other and you don't think something could go wrong? You're crazy" Sam told Steve before they dodged two vines that Pietro had avoided "Ivy aim for Pietro not us"
"Sorry" the blonde called out as one of her vines wrapped around the silver haired man's ankle and sent him flying back.
"Seriously?" Pietro asked as he sat up on his elbows glaring at the girl who just giggled as vines kept him down.
"Guess I win this time"
"Not true moy tsvetok" Pietro whispered in her ear as he appeared behind her and pinned her to the ground, having escaped her vines "I win"
Steve and Sam decided once the fight was over that they should head back inside and give the couple some privacy, especially once the Sokovian started tickling the fairy who was giggling and trying to get away from the attack.
"That's adorable" Sam said as they went to the inside training room "Sickenly so, but freaking adorable"
"They are perfect for each other" Steve smiled

Ever since Ivy had her nightmare she had spent most nights in Pietro's room, being with the Sokovian helped her sleep better at night and she was able to return the favour when he dreamt about losing his family. No one on the team cared too much about this new set up, Clint had reservations at the beginning but seeing how calmly she slept when in Pietro's company, compared to when the speedster was on a mission, stopped him from doing or saying anything about it.
It was Tony who had the most to say about the sleeping arrangement, majority of it being crude remarks to the couple.
"So is speedy as fast in the sack as he is out of bed?" Tony asked Ivy, the blonde turning as red as Wanda's jacket before burying her face in her hands in embarrassment
"Ignore him" Wanda snapped as Pietro looked about ready to punch Tony, as the billionaire kept baiting the youngest girl until he teasingly mentioned something way to intimate/private which caused Pietro to snap and punch the Iron Man in the gut.
"Say anything like that to her again and I will end you" Pietro snarled at Tony who crumpled to the floor "Ivy is mine"
"Pietro" Ivy whispered as she wrapped her arms around his waist, and resting her forehead on his back in an attempt to calm him down
"He insulted you, he needs to pay for that"
"I have no idea what you're saying. Wanda what is he saying?" Ivy asked as her boyfriend's twin just shook her head.
"I love you moy tsvetok" Pietro whispered as Ivy lead him away from Tony before the billionaire ended up dead.
This was when Tony Stark learnt that Ivy and Pietro's sex life was completely off limits if he wanted to live, actually it was when he leant that he shouldn't talk about their relationship in general.
"You really shouldn't tease them like that" Natasha told Tony who was kneeled over clutching his stomach "One of these days you'll do something that even Ivy won't be able to stop him from killing you"
…
"Guess I was right about Maximoff being your knight in shining armour" Clint teased Ivy who was sat on Pietro's lap drinking a cup of coffee
"What?" Pietro asked looked down at his girlfriend who shot the archer a dirty look
"Nothing" Ivy told her boyfriend before focusing on Clint "Why'd you bring that up?"
"Because you were starting to have a normal life, now you are an Avenger" Clint spoke the previous smile on his face fading "After Sokovia I wanted you to have a happy normal life"
"For me this is normal and I am happy"
"As long as you're happy"
"I am" Ivy smiled as she leant her head on Pietro's shoulder. As Clint saw this he couldn't help but feel slightly sad at this, he was the closest thing that Ivy had to a father and he viewed the blonde as a daughter.
"So this is how it feels when you realise that your little girl is growing up" Clint whispered under his breath "She couldn't have picked a less annoying little shit could she?"
…
It wasn't a secret that Pietro was incredibly protective of his sister and girlfriend, especially after it had caused problems in the couple's relationship at the beginning. After Ivy had been taken a risk on a mission, a risk that saved Clint and Wanda's lives but if it failed it could have killed her, when Pietro found out what the blonde had done the two ended up in a heated argument – which led to the training room looking like the Amazon Rainforest.
While Wanda had felt jealous about the blonde's relationship with her brother when they first started dating, she had to admit she felt for the Fairy who right after her fight with Pietro looked completely heartbroken.
"Pietro, why don't you go talk to her" Wanda tried to convince her brother, who was acting worse than when Ivy went on an extended mission "You love her"
"You should be happy about this, you don't like moy tsvetok" Pietro snapped in his native tongue,
"Pietro, this has nothing to do with what I feel about Ivy"
"Why not?"
"Because I don't hate her, I'm jealous" Wanda retorted before looking to the side "It was you and I for so long"
"Wanda, you're my sister. Nothing is changing that"
"I know that now. Ivy told me something that made me realise how lucky we are"
"What do you mean?" Pietro asked, his body tensing at the mention of the petite blonde
"She felt jealous of our relationship"
"We're twins"
"She meant that we always had each other, through all the bad I always knew you would be there with me. She was alone for most of her life, never had to worry about anyone else. It's why she takes risk, in her mind she doesn't think that she'll be missed if it backfires"
"Thanks sis" the speedster said as he hugged his sister before zipping off to find the youngest Avenger.
"Idiot" Wanda sighed under her breath
Ivy was currently taking her emotions out on a punching bag, something she had been doing since her argument with Pietro, only to freeze hid punch when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist.
"Moy tsvetok" an accented voice whispered in her ear before nuzzling her neck "I'm sorry"
"Pietro?" Ivy whispered, placing her hands on the arms around her waist "Pietro I-I'm …"
"You aren't alone anymore, you have people who care for you"
"Wanda told you?"
"Da. Please, be more careful on missions"
"I'll try"
"Ivy"
"I can't change overnight Speedy, just please be patient with me"
"Patience isn't easy for me, but I'll try" Pietro said as he spun his girlfriend around and hugged her tighter to his chest "As long as you're with me, it will be fine"
"I love you Pietro"
"I love you too moy tsvetok"
The night after they made up, Ivy went back to sleeping in Pietro's room only to be met with a note addressed to the blonde resting on the Sokovian's bed. Slowly opening it up Ivy's eyes began to tear up, causing Pietro to look at what made his flower cry.
"Welcome to the Family Ivy
- Wanda"

Authors Notes: And that is the first chapter of The Fairy and the Speedster, hope you liked it
This story is about bits and pieces of Pietro and Ivy's relationship as well as a few chapters of Fatherly!Clint and Ivy.
Bruce Banner/Hulk wasn't in this because is off somewhere and has no idea about them dating. Natasha Romanov/Black Widow doesn't has a segment because when I wrote it, it came out way to similar to Clint's.
This one was on how the Avenger's reacted to the relationship, if anyone has any ideas on something they'd like to see message me or comment and I'll see what I can do about it.
