One Short Day

In the Emerald City…

One Short Day

Pietro Maximoff was currently in a great position: on the moon, in a beautiful city, being escorted around by the Princess Crystal, who was perfect (like him!). They'd be perfect together.

"Black Bolt and I welcome you, Avenger Quicksilver, to Attilan."

"In that case, beautiful…I agree to stick around!" He said, trying out his charm. Although she didn't seem immune, she wasn't under easily either. He decided to try again.

"Why are you, a princess, escorting newcomers around?" He asked.

"I asked for that task. I enjoy helping people." She replied simply, with elegant tranquility.

"You remind me of my sister." He said, which was true…now, anyway. It was quite pleasant.

"I have not met her yet. Are you close?"

"…Somewhat."

"Well, than, next off is-"

"Have you ever been to Earth?"

"Not much. I desire to go, and was thinking about asking Black Bolt if I could leave with you for a short time."

"You should. Than I could escort you!"

She smiled again. "I look forward to any time we may spend together."

AN: Sorry about the update break. It's just this chapter was going to be difficult, seeing how it was never intended to be about Wanda, and Pietro is a hard character to write, if not to understand. Sorry this was shorter too, but I didn't want to make much out of this. Crystal will have minor appearances in the future of this fic.

Also, I'm annoyed about the general praise in small ways, but the lack of reviews. Gimme something to work with!
