My life, my love

6

The rest of the day was boring. We continued to shop at the mall, & finished up. Peter seems like a good guy.

When we got back to the Tower, I went to show Tony my new clothes hoping we could find some common ground between our styles, or at the very least, I would piss him off. He wears band tees, so I got some to match. There is no time like the present. But when I arrived, I saw that the Tower was completely empty. I hated the feeling of isolation.

"FRIDAY, where is everyone?" 

"The Avengers are on a retrieval mission of 2 twins from Sokovia."

"When will they return?" I asked curiously. 

"I do not know, Ms. Stark."

Ms. Stark? Since when am I Ms. Stark?

Hours later, after I finished ordering room decor online, I heard noises in the building.Not sure who they were, I grabbed my pocket knife and hid in the closet. I heard someone enter my room.

"Hello? A, are you in here? I have a surprise for you."

Recognizing the voice, I slid the closet door open to find Tony will a yellow envelope in his hands. Tony looked at my hands to see the knife. I put it back in my pocket. He gave me what I assume was a smile, when he saw the band tees. It was an awkward grin.

"I like your shirt, come out of the closet."

"What's the surprise?"

"Two things. First, open this envelope," Tony said unamused.

"Okay..."

I open the envelope and there it was. Adoption papers.

"Tony?"

"Relax kid, you don't have to call me Dad or anything. You have all these abilities you know nothing about, so I thought it be best to have you stay here for now. But in order for you to stay here, I have to legally adopt you. Sign the papers so we can get on with the second surprise."

I pretended so sign the papers & put them on the bed. Tony didn't notice that they weren't signed.

"Great! For the next surprise, the team and I went on a mission to retrieve 2 twins. I would like you to meet them."

I walk in to see a red-head emo girl and a boy with shitty bleached hair.

"Twins, you say? I couldn't tell."

The girl laughs, "I'm Wanda Maximoff, and this is Pietro."

The boy looked at me, then back at Tony.

"Where is my room?" he said with a strong accent.

"Pick any of them on in that hallway," Tony said. 

Pietro leaves to pick a room all the while not looking at anything besides the floor. 

"He shy around new people" Wanda announced to break the tension.

I asked curiously, "How old are both of you?"

"We are almost 17, but he is 12 minutes older."

Tony spoke up, "Good news, Wanda and Pietro will be staying here for a while. Bad news is because there are 3 minors occupying my residence, you all have to go to school."

"...Which one?" I asked.

"Midtown High."

"Peter goes there, right?"

"Yes, he does. I spoke to the Principal, and thanks to a large donation, you, Wanda, Peter, and Pietro will have as many classes together as the schedule allows.

I think to myself. Great, I get to have all the same classes with a boy that already hates me. Maybe by the grace of some god we won't run into each other.

Wanda responds, He is just nervous. He isn't used to all of  these things. Give him some time to warm up to everything.

You can hear me?

Of course I can. You are very loud. Although I have never had somebody respond.

Oh my goodness, this is insane. I can read minds?

Yes.

"There is room next to time, take that one." I said deviously.

"I already know what you're thinking," she responds.

Fuck.
