A/N Enjoy!
"Well this is a rather large home considering it is just the two of you?" Pietro looked to the elderly couple as they wandered through the 'house' although 'compound' would have been a better word to describe the size of the place.
"There was many of us living here at one point or another.. but obviously people age, agendas change and thus we all move on" spoke Peggy softly as though she was afraid of the words that escaped her lips, Wanda noticed this and glanced over to Steve who had his eyes downcast as though he was reliving a memory, Wanda found herself focusing as though wanting to delve into the elderly man's mind and see the memory but was jolted by Pietro who had decided now to be a good time to poke his little sister in her sides which inadvertently caused her to Yelp like a puppy "Eeek Pietro! I nearly peed!" shouted Wanda towards her brother who had rolled over onto the cool floor laughing.
She watched her brother intently as she realised that it has been a long while since she saw him laugh like that "Idiot brother.." she smiled.
Los Angeles had been rather downcast, although the weather predictions were for sunny skies, it appeared as though that was not the case as a roll of thunder came thudding through the compound.
"So much for catching my tan today eh Sister" Pietro came smiling at his sister who was huddled on the sofa watching a movie.
"Hey guys, me and Peggy are going to go see an old friend, would you like to tag along?" asked an elderly Steve as he entered the room with his wife Peggy at his side.
"I think I would like to stay here and eat... junk" Wanda was feeling rather miserable today, the fetus inside her was being overly excited and hadn't stopped doing somersaults all day
Pietro noticed his sisters discomfort and began to answer "I will stay with-" he was cut off by Wanda who had jolted up in her seat and glared at him.
"You will go and have fun, please dont feel that you need to stay and look after me, I am fine" Wanda stood and held her brothers hand as though willing him to comply.
He sighed "fine.. but you will contact us if you are feeling any worse yes?" Pietro quickly glanced at his sister who stood in front of him with a beaming smile in agreement, she hated how her brother would stop living his life just for her, she needed to know that if anything happened then he would still go on living, that he didnt feel the need to follow her if she chose to leave this plane of existence.
Once they left, Wanda found herself laying comfortably on the sofa again, remote in hand ready to press play and continue the romcom that she had started earlier that day, but she couldn't stop the feeling that something was coming.
"I cant do this, I will not allow humanity to crumble just because you have lost faith in them.."
Michael had come down from the heavens during the storm and sighed as he thought about all that he was risking, he knew that his mission wouldn't be too risky, that it was a rather simple task, but for some unknown reason, he just could not bear the thought of causing any pain to the person that it was intended for and with one last look to the sky he was gone.
"Hey there red, what are you doing?"
a man wearing a soldier uniform approached Wanda, she looked up in horror and tried her best to escape, she clutched the remnants of rubble that had fallen from her apartment building as she tried to get away but to no avail, she was dragged by her ankles to the alley. "No!" Wanda screamed as she awoke from her nightmare and glanced down at the perfectly round bump that was her abdomen, she sighed tilting her head back on the sofa, as she looked up at the ceiling she could feel a slight hum... like a presence near...
"Hello Miss Maximoff" Wandas eyes widened, there IS a presence here and Pietro and the others were not here!
