Chapter Seven:
For the rest of the afternoon Lucy stayed in with Peter and Wanda, mainly Peter, because the silverette kept finding new things for them to do from table tennis to Pong to bucket tosses. Most of the games Peter won due to his speed but occasionally Lucy's telekinesis was able to score her a win.
"That's cheating" Peter pouted after Lucy made one of his targets move
"That's rich coming from the guy using his super speed in every challenge he issued" Lucy smirked as she stuck her tongue out "Now my turn for a question, what did Wanda mean when she said you hadn't stopped talking about me?"
"That statement needs explaining?"
"Not really, just wanted to hear you say it out loud"
"That's just cruel"
"Gotta get some entertainment"
"You interest me Lucinda"
"It makes you feel better you interest me too"
"You ever had a boyfriend?"
"Not your turn to ask a question Peter"
"When I win the next challenge then" Peter said as Lucy shook her head, before noticing the time on several of the clocks around the room.
"Dammit!" the telepath called out as she got up off the couch and grabbed her bag "I have to go, Hayley is going to kill me"
"What's wrong?"
"I need to be home in five minutes, so I have to go"
"I'll take you" Peter smirked as he wrapped his arm around her waist "where'd you live?" giving him the address and wrapping her arms around his neck while the teenage boy held her tighter to him before running off.
"Thank you Peter" Lucy smiled as the two appeared in front of a large two story house
"You're welcome. I'll see you around" Peter said before Lucy grabbed his arm
"Give me your hand for a second"
"Why?"
"Just do it" Lucy said a she pulled a pen out of her pocket and wrote a series of numbers on his forearm "Call me sometime Peter, you're a pretty fun guy to hang out with"
Peter just stared at the numbers on his arm before he took the pen from her hand and wrote his phone number on her hand, before smirking at her
"You can call me too babe"
"Later Maximoff, come hang out sometimes" Lucy said as she went up to the front door "By the way Peter, never had a boyfriend"
"Maybe I'll be yours then" Peter continued to smirk before running off home as the brunette blushed
….
"You seemed to have fun" Hayley said as her baby sister came home "thought you didn't have a boyfriend"
"I don't" Lucy told her sister as she hugged her, before Hayley went back to the kitchen
"You and that kid seemed pretty close"
"How's your love life sis?"
"Nice deflection"
"I try, I'm going to lay down" Lucy said as she ran upstairs "It's been a long day"
"Do you want anything to eat?"
"Not if you made it, I don't want to die"
"You need proper food"
"Your cooking does not count as proper food" Lucy called from the stair case, before going up to her room and curling up in her bed, everything she had done today with using her powers, worrying about the Magneto issue and just the energy of hanging out with Peter caused her to fall asleep instantly.
…..
Small hands grasped at the chain around her ankle and tugged at it
"Not going to work princess" the accented voice in the cell next to the girl said "pulling at it means that you're just gonna hurt yourself"
"I'm scared"
"You gonna be alright, I'll get you out petite"
"I want to go home" the child curled up in a ball and cried "Did I do something bad?"
"No petite, you are just special"
"I don't want to be special, I want to go home"
"I'll get you outta here princess, I promise you"
