"How is he?" Wanda asked when Simmons walked into the room, "And why...why didn't he remember me?" "I believe your brother has amnesia, his memories are lost." Simmons answered. Wanda looked down. Clint put his hand on her shoulder, "But he'll regain them...right?" "I...I am not completely sure right now." Simmons said.
Wanda hung her head, looking extremely sad. Clint squeezed her shoulder but spoke to Simmons, "Thank you...for the update..." Simmons nodded and hurried back to the med bay.
Wanda curled against Clint's chest, softly beginning to sob. Clint held her close, murmuring softly into her ear. Wanda sobbed harder, wishing her brother got his memory back.
Clint hugged her tighter, telling her they would get back Pietro's memories. "What if we don't?" Wanda asked tearfully. "We will." Clint said firmly and confidently. Wanda hugged him, "I hope so."
Clint nodded in his agreement and kissed the top of her head. Wanda sighed and relaxed against Clint, looking sad still though. They would get Pietro's memory back, or else form new ones.
Back in his hospital room, Pietro slowly stirred. He blinked a few times and looked around to see where he was at. Pietro realized he was in a hospital bed. But he couldn't really remember why. Pietro couldn't remember much still, he remembered the doctor from earlier, Simmons.
He remembered her mentioning he had a sister, but he had no memory of a sister. He couldn't remember much of anything, though. Not even his name, which he was told was Pietro.
Pietro also remembered the doctor saying he was caught in an explosion that left him in a coma for four weeks. Simmons entered and asked" Are you feeling okay?" Pietro nodded, "Yeah...just...confused." Simmons nodded sympathetically, "It's perfectly okay for you to be confused. It's understandable even."
Pietro nodded, "I just...I don't like it." He admitted. "I know you don't. But it will get better." Simmons said. Pietro nodded, "That...that's good."
Pietro settled back in his bed as Simmons awkwardly hovered in the room. "You don't have to stay here." Pietro said helpfully. "If you need anything, just hit the button on your bed." Simmons said. Pietro nodded and Simmons left.
Wanda entered. "Wanda. Right?" Pietro asked. Wanda nodded "And...you're my sister...my twin, right?" Wanda nodded, "Yeah...you're the older twin. Older by twelve minutes."
"We do not look related" "Yeah...I know." Wanda agreed, "But we are." Pietro nodded, "Twins?" "Twins." Wanda confirmed.
"What happened to our parents?" "They died." Wanda said sadly. Pietro looked down, "Oh." "Yeah." Wanda nodded. How...how did they die?" Pietro asked quietly.
"They were killed when a shell hit our apartment." Wanda said quietly. Pietro looked down, "I'm sorry." Wanda shook her head, "Don't...don't be." Pietro nodded but continued to look down. "What's SHIELD?"
"The Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division." "...Huh?" Pietro looked confused. Wanda shook her head, "It's a long story." Wanda smiled at her brother and Pietro hesitantly smiled back.
"How did I get caught in a explosion?" "You're an Avenger...we were checking out a HYDRA base and you went in first...there must have been a bomb or something because it exploded." Wanda said. Pietro frowned, "Avenger?" Wanda nodded, "A superhero."
Pietro looked surprise, "But...But I can't." "You have superspeed." Wanda said, "So fast you're pretty much a blur." Wanda smiled at the look on his face. "What about you? Do you have powers?" Pietro asked. Wanda nodded.
Wanda used her powers to shoot a hex bolt at a cup, exploding it. Pietro smiled and Wanda smiled back. "I'll uh..I'll let you be alone now." Wanda said.
Pietro nodded and Wanda left.
