Pietro's POV.
"I want you to make friends at this party" my sister chided as we presented put invitations to a shield agent standing at the door.
"Wanda, you have nothing to worry about I will make at least one new friend at this party. They won't even see it coming". Wanda shot me an incredulous look before hearing someone call her over. She sauntered over to see what was going on leaving me alone. Wanda had always had an easier time with people. Even when we being experimented on they liked Wanda better. I saw Clint and his family and waked over to say hello. He had a wide smile spread across his face and his eyes were filled with mirth. I told myself that I wouldn't ruin whatever moment that was going on. I was about ten feet away from Clint when I heard Coulson say "Has anybody seen Pietro?" I felt a devilish grin spread across my face. My feet were moving before I even knew I was moving. And suddenly the world around me slowed down. Blue tendrils of light surrounded me and I weaved between the crowds towards Coulson.
When I saw him I slowed down and eventually the world around me returned to normal. "I saw him go that way" I said gesturing the way I came.
Coulson didn't laugh "Hey, you know the sneakers I commissioned for you about a month ago?"
"How could I forget, I'm getting them in on Monday right?" I was really excited to get these trainers. The sucky Adidas ones I have been sporting for a few years were alright but I could only wear them once. They always fell apart after one use.
"Well they are actually ready today and I am going to introduce you to the gal that made em". Wanda bring go find Beth and introduce her to Pietro. I have to go get Tony" Coulson turned and motioned for someone to come towards him.
When I saw her I felt the world slow down around me, but I wasn't running. My chest seized up and I couldn't breathe. The first thing I noticed about her was her hair. It started out pitch black but as it fell to her shoulders it turned a magnificent electric blue. It looked like the little streaks that curled around me when I ran. Wanda started talking but I didn't hear a word she said. My eyes were captivated by hers, they were a dark brown almost black little specks of glitter rimmed her eyes making it look stars spread across a vast sky. My gaze tore from her face as it looked down her body. She was wearing a tight dress that made my skin crawl, it accentuated her bust and stopped above knees.
"PIETRO, say hello to Beth" Wanda barked. I was snapped out my Beth induced stupor. I put on a mischievous grin and in a suave voice said.
"Hello". Not very creative, I know but this girl emptied my head and that was the only word I could reach for. Wanda rolled her eyes.
"This is the girl that made your new trainers" Wanda said gesturing to a box in Beth's hands.
"Oh yeah, you should tell me how they fit once you get a chance to use them. If there is anything wrong with them I'm sure I could fix it fairly quickly" Beth chirped. "Sometimes the high density rubber can fracture if it's put under too much stress". Beth handed me the box and our hands met for a split second. Her eyes widened and she pulled her hands away as quickly as they came.
"Hey, Beth tell old tony here what you developed in the lab!" Coulson guffawed from across the room. His words were slurred so I guessed he could be a little drunk. Beth's attention whipped from me to Coulson and Tony who were standing at the far end of the bar and strode over. As she was walking away I couldn't but help appreciate the way her ass looked. I jumped when I felt someone clap a hand on my shoulder. It was Clint, and he had a smirk plastered across his face.
"Didn't see that coming?" It slowly dawned on me that my sister, Coulson, and Clint had set me up. I was going to get them back for this. Right after I got to talk to Beth some more.
