Avengers Alien Swarm

Chapter 3

"Come on, Peter. Again!"

As Wanda finished that sentence, she blocked Peter's foot with an energy shield. It was the following day and she was training with Peter. Her hands glowed scarlet as she blocked some webbing. It had been a couple of hours, which the two sweaty teens didn't realise.

Wanda was dressed in leggings and a sports bra. Her hair was originally in a ponytail, but most of the hair had come out of the hairband. Peter was dressed in some old faded joggers and a faded tank top.

She used her power to make Peter float when she was shot in the face by a web. Since she was distracted, Peter used the opportunity to web her feet to the floor and jump over her and grab her in a hold.

"Pretty good. I think you're doing well." Peter said quietly as the two took deep breaths.

"Thank you Pete, but you should know, never let your guard down!" Wanda said as Peter was surrounded by scarlet energy and made him fall on his back and Wanda sat on his chest, causing him to wince in pain.

"You okay?" She asked out of concern.

"Yeah, just a little bit of pain from last night." Peter admitted and wished he didn't when he saw the look on Wanda's face.

"What happened?" She demanded.

"Got attacked by some guy in a Green Goblin suit on a glider. Cut open an old scar." Peter explained.

"Let me see!" She said as she tried to pull Peter's top up, which Peter fought to keep down.

"No. No. No. Not happening." Peter struggled. After a few moments, Wanda gave up.

"Okay, fine. I will check it at some point Parker." She teased as she got off him and helped him up. "I'm going to have a shower, then we're making that dish I was telling you about."

After the Peter had his shower, he quickly got dressed and Peter found himself waiting in the kitchen for Wanda. While he was waiting, he put on his old pair of glasses and got his phone out and started to play Gone, Gone, Gone by Philip Philips. Since he didn't know what the dish was, he sat on the kitchen counter and started to sing along with the song.

Peter suddenly stopped singing when he heard the sound of clapping. He looked behind and saw it was Wanda, dressed in comfy clothing much like him. "How... how long have you been there?" He nervously asked her.

"Since about five seconds into the song. You have a nice singing voice Peter." Wanda asked.

"Uhh, thank you." Peter blushed. "So...so what are we cooking?"

"Chicken Paprikash and a homemade cheese pizza." Wanda told him.

"The Chicken Paprikash sounds delicious. You going to do a twist with the pizza?" Peter said.

"Yep. I'll be sprinkling some Paprika in the pizza." Wanda said as she got the ingredients out and Wanda explained to Peter how to cook the food

After the pizza was put in the over, a flour covered Wanda looked at a flour covered Peter with a smile as she started to do the Chicken Paprikash. "You keep an eye on the pizza and I'll do the Paprikash." She told him.

"Okay, so when was the first time you cooked this?" Peter asked.

"It was a week before my parents died. I was ten. I did burn it at first, so I re did it again." Wanda sadly said.

Peter couldn't help but put his hand on top of hers, giving her comfort. Wanda turned her hand around and laced her fingers with his. "I remember seeing that. I had come home from school to the newsman talking about a terrorist attack in Sokovia and how a pair of twins had survived the bombing." Peter told her. "I struggled to see the TV as my glasses were broken because Flash kicked my ass. I instantly felt sorry for them and wished that the twins were okay."
