Even he had to stop for breath eventually. Pietro ran out of steam in the middle of nowhere, thankfully, and came to a halt. Doubled over, hands on his knees, his lungs gasped for air. He felt slightly better though - lighter, emotionally. They say you can't run from your problems but he was certainly of the opinion that they mattered less when you had sprinted as far away from them as you could manage. Not to mention that you were usually alone by this point, so whoever was bothering you was long gone.

It was just weird for it to be Wanda.

He sat down with a sigh, rubbing his face. Part of him could see his sister's point, and he hated to argue with her - but it still felt wrong. How was he supposed to work with a man who killed their parents? Especially over something as petty as him being designed trainers that could cope with his speed? It felt so disrespectful to his parents that there was a bad taste in his mouth as he threw himself backwards, starfished on the grass as he tried to wrap his head around it.

He was not just trying to be awkward and arguing on principle. He did not believe he could be civil to Stark, and so he saw no reason to lie and claim that they would forgive, forget and be friends, when he knew it was a promise he'd break in seconds. Pietro often made rash decisions, even he knew that, but this didn't feel rash. His gut did not want to play nice with Tony Stark. Usually he relied on Wanda to think over things, to consider them and agonise and come to a more difficult but logical decision. This time though he didn't like his twin's decision.

And he was no longer alone.

That made him frown as he looked up, watching Vision slowly float down, the android watching him with his head tilted slightly to the side as though Pietro was a puzzle he was contemplating.

He knew some of the team - namely Sam - weren't keen on the Vision. Pietro supposed he could hardly have a problem with Vision though when he'd previously allied with Ulton - he wasn't a hypocrite. And Wanda had explained the moment with Thor's hammer to him, so he knew that the Vision could be trusted in a way that Ultron couldn't be. He thought the oddest thing was how very calm the android was. He'd never seen any sign of passion or emotion - Ultron had felt more human in a way, despite the megalomaniac tendencies, because he could be riled into anger. The Vision acted out of necessity, with no great love of the fight, and remained calm and polite at all times in a way Pietro found rather creepy. He certainly hadn't sought the android out for any conversations, and was uncertain why this was who they had sent after him.

"I believe Sam in intending to join us here, once he has 'suited up'" Vision explained without Pietro even saying a word. "The others were unable to keep up with you".

"Did it occur to anyone that was the point? That I wasn't looking to be followed?" he pointed out as he sat up, his knees bent and his forearms resting on his legs as he looked up at the android.

"I had suspected that was your intention. However Captain Rogers was quite insistent that you and your sister be spoken to. He is most concerned by your argument, and wants the situation resolved". Pietro shook his head slightly, looking away as a single chuckle escaped him.

"Of course he did" he muttered, the comment to himself but the Vision evidently heard and nodded slightly.

"Captain Rogers is trying to ensure this team runs smoothly. I understand I may not seem the best person to talk to in your eyes, but I am here to help or listen if you require it. It is...unusual for you to argue with your sister. I am happy to provide advice, if you wish. I also know Mr Stark quite well".

"Oh really?"

"Of course. I am not Jarvis, I am not the creation Mr Stark and Dr Banner intended, but I do have Jarvis' recollections and information within me. Mr Stark built Jarvis and interacted with the interface on a daily basis for several years. I am quite familiar with him".

"So you are here to tell me to forgive him as well?" Pietro's anger was betrayed in his voice, and the Vision cocked his head a way, the little gesture like an inquisitive bird actually serving to annoy Pietro more.

"I do feel it would be best, for yourself and the team".

"And Stark too I'm sure"

"Mr Stark has not yet forgiven himself for his past". That revelation came as enough of a shock to silence Pietro for a moment, he frowned up at the Vision. "Your parents died, I understand, from a bomb created by Stark Industries. Mr Stark had not paid sufficiently close attention to the day to day running of his corporation, the minutiae did not interest him. He allowed a man he trusted to handle these matters and expected that they would be dealt with in line with his own wishes. But they were not, and by the time Mr Stark realised that...he took steps to rectify the situation. But even everything he has done as 'Iron Man' does not change what happened before, and he has been unable to protect everyone, and therefore in his mind, unable to truly fix his mistakes in the past. He does try though, and has continued to try. I, personally, believe that to be an admirable trait".

Pietro remained silent through this story. He didn't forgive Tony, the story wasn't that powerful, told in Vision's calm thoughtful way, the same tone he used when describing the weather. But it did make him think, and feel for the man, a little. He knew what it was like to make a mistake and have to try and atone.

It was his sister's way to dwell on the past and weigh the future and consider the choices before making a decision. Pietro was not so introspective in that way. Not that he did not think, but he made up his mind quickly and went with his decisions and did not spend too much time on regrets about his own actions. He still thought about his family, of course, his parents every day, but he did so to remind himself of his reasons for what he was doing, he could not change the past but he could keep it to motivate him for the future.

For a long time this had served him well, he had always been sure of himself and moving forward. But so many of his decisions had not gone well, even if the end result was good. He did not want to become crippled by self doubt, but he considered the prospect that Stark was. That he felt the weight of his mistakes, and strived to do better now. That he was trying to do the right thing for the right reasons but nothing went according to his plan. That he might not be - or at least, was not still - the playboy who made millions and let his weapons be used indiscriminately.

He didn't like the idea. Not for selfless reasons, he wasn't worried about Stark suffering guilt and insecurity. But for his own. He liked black and white, and knowing what he was doing. He didn't like this feeling of hating Stark and pitying him at the same time, his emotions mixed and confused. Pietro was uncomfortable with the uncertainty and not sure where to go from here.

He needed Wanda. Getting to his feet he rolled his shoulders.

"I will speak with my sister". That was all the explanation the Vision received before Pietro disappeared in a blur.
