Chapter Six:
Peter had been bugging the life out of his sister since he had woken up in an attempt to get a rise out of her.
"Peter I swear I will kill you" Wanda Maximoff snarled at her twin as the speedster ran around the room in a blur having eaten a bag of marshmallows
"Ishouldgoseehershouldn'tI?Isthatweird?Isitweirdwantingtoseeacompletestranger?" Peter said speaking a mile a minute as he wandered around
"No, Yes, Completely" Wanda sighed as she answered her brothers words before leaning back onto the couch "who is this girl that's got you so confused?"
"Peter you have a visitor" Magda's voice called out as Peter stopped running around and stared at Wanda
"You expecting somebody?"
"Peter?" a female voice said as Lucy reached the bottom of the staircase, causing the twins to look at her
"Lucy?" Peter asked zipping over to the girl "What are you doing here?"
"I kind of needed to talk to you" Lucy told the silver haired teenager, upon noticing the other person in the room "I didn't realise that you were busy"
"She's the girl you broke into the Pentagon with?" Wanda questioned standing up off the couch before holding her hand out to the brunette "Wanda Maximoff"
"Lucinda Granger"
"I'll let you two talk" Wanda sighed as she headed upstairs "I kinda promised to read to Lorna anyway"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your day" Lucy said as she turned to Peter
"Its fine, Twinkie?" Peter offered as he held out a box of the treats as Lucy took one Peter continued to play ping pong against himself "So you wanted to talk?"
"Do you think we did the right thing in breaking him out?"
"Meh"
"You don't think so?"
"Nothing we can do about it now" Peter said moving from playing the game to going to the Pong video came
"PETER! LUCY! GET UP HERE NOW!" Wanda's voice rang out as Peter ran her upstairs and into the living room, as on the TV was Magneto giving a speech about mutant superiority
"It was a bad idea" Peter said as they stare at the TV screen while Lucy just nodded while Wanda, Lorna and Magda watched the screen "Definitely a bad idea"
"Understatement of the freaking century"
As the broadcast ended with Mystique saving the President's life and the Sentinel program being scrapped, Peter took Lucy down to the basement where they stood in silence both contemplating the outcome
"It isn't that bad of an outcome when you think about it" Wanda said as she entered the basement, shocked to see her brother standing still while the brunette was sat on the couch.
"We broke a lunatic out of the Pentagon" Peter snapped at his twin
"It worked out as it was supposed to" Lucy whispered staring at her lap
"How was this the desired outcome?"
"The sentinel program was cancelled, it is what kills most of humanity in the future"
"How'd you –"
"I read Logan's mind when we first met" the telepath interrupted "the Sentinel program screws over the future and kills pretty much everyone"
"One lunatic versus murderous robots that wipe out humanity" Wanda deadpanned "Releasing a mutant supremacist was the lesser of two evils"
"That's true" Peter responded as Lucy nodded "It's something we have to live with"
No one spoke for a while as Wanda sat next to the brunette on the couch while Peter went back to playing Pong and table tennis against himself.
"Peter seems to like you" Wanda told the female, breaking the silence that hung around you "Whatever happened between you two in the Pentagon had an impact on him"
"I think that's the breaking into the Pentagon that had an impact on him"
"No, he hasn't mentioned the other people who helped you guys … just you" Wanda said staring straight into the brunette's eyes
"What you two talking about?" Peter asked zipping infront of the couch
"None of your business"
"Tellmetellmetellmetellmetellmetell" Peter rambled
"Is he always like this?" Lucy asked the dark haired woman,
"Most of the time" Wanda chuckled, the tense atmosphere dissipating as the teenagers started relaxing.
'Mind making our conversation a bit more private?' Lucy asked Wanda telepathically
'Definitely' Wanda responded 'So what happened at the Pentagon?'
'You aren't going to drop this are you?'
'Not a chance'
'We spoke in the car, I called him crazy and told him his powers were cool'
'That's all?'
'I did agree to help a bunch of strangers break into the most secure building in America, may have intrigued him to why I would agree to that'
'Especially since you are an heiress' Wanda telepathically said as Lucy gasped
'How'd you know that?'
'Your sister is Hayley Granger, an heiress and fashion designer with a little sister named Lucinda. Wasn't that hard to piece together '
'Does ...?'
'Peter has no interest in fashion, I only know because I got mum one of those dresses for her birthday last year. I won't tell him'
'Thank you'
'It's fine. Peter's interested in you, I don't know if it's because you are like us, you broke into the Pentagon or because he thinks your cute, whatever the reason he likes having you around'
…..
"Who was that?" Lorna asked her older sister as Peter zipped her off
"You know the girl he hasn't stopped talking about?" Wanda asked looking at her sister who nodded while Magda listened on "That's her"
"She's Peter's princess?" Lorna grinned while Magda shook her head and answered her youngest daughter while her eldest daughter went to go see the pair
"Yeah she is"

Authors Notes: I'd like to thank all of you who have favourite, followed and commented this story it makes me so happy and I hope you continue to enjoy the story.
You don't know how many times I wrote Pietro instead of Peter, note to self don't try writing an Avengers: Age of Ultron and X-Men: Days of Future Past at the same time – the amount of story points I wrote in the wrong document and wrong names.
