Heart of Steele

by teapotmagic

After Pietro had saved Clint's life by risking his own, the former SHIELD agent couldn't help but make the offer to allow the twins to stay with him and his family. The Bartons have become quite fond of the twins, but what they did not expect was their father to interfere. Especially the twins, who learn their father was no other than Magneto.

2. A Presence

"There is not another house around here for miles." Pietro stated, looking at his younger sibling.

"I know that," Wanda muttered, exchanging a look. "I am just telling you what I feel."

"I am not denying your senses." He replied. "It is 1am, maybe you are tired."

Wanda continued to look thoughtful for a minute, before letting out a sigh and nodding. "I will see you in the morning."

"Sleep well, sister." Responded speedy, as the two exchanged one last glance before heading off for the rooms the Bartons had so kindly gave them.

When the sun rose and provided its natural light through out the house, the house soon filled with noise as the younger children arose.

As always, Cooper jumped straight up once the young man had walked down the stairs.

"Hey Pietro!" He said excitingly, clearly very fond of his presence.

"Hello," He greeted with a wave, as Lila continued to show Wanda her artwork.

"These are the blue flowers." The little girl explained, pointing to the different things on her painting.

"How beautiful," Wanda smiled. "I really love the purple and blue ones."

Watching from the kitchen, Clint smiled to himself. Taking in the twins couldn't have gone any better, even the children highly enjoyed having the two around.

The witch looked at her brother, and he gave her a look in response. Reading her facial expression, he walked over to her.

"Let us have a word, outside." She said, resting her hand on her brother's wrist.

As the two began to walk to the door, Hawkeye furrowed his eyebrows.

"We are going for a walk." Wanda explained.

"Be back for breakfast," Replied Clint. In all honesty, he was a bit suspicions, as the two hadn't took a 'walk' their entire week of being here. But he felt he should trust them, and he did.

"What is it, sister?" Pietro asked once they had stepped into the field of green grass and twigs. "Or did you really just want to walk?"

"I sense a presence, the same one from last night." She sounded thoughtful. "Somebody is here."

"And you think they are out here?" Questioned Quicksilver.

"I know they are, I do not lie to you, Pietro." Wanda stated, her brows tied together in deep thought.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the two turned around to face the man who was unknowingly their father.
