Sliver Sky

Part 3: Love, Sky

"So thanks for coming with me. I know we don't really know each other, but thanks." Sky said as the two walked back into the tower.

"No problem. It was fun. You have a great style by the way."

"Thanks, that was like the first time I ever really got to go shopping and get my own clothes." Sky sighed knowing she said to much. She always says to much. Wanda smiled awkwardly as they walked in. "Oh hey...Ricky." Sky said as she read the name tag of the guard who had let her in a few days earlier.

"Hey Sky, thanks for not getting me fired."

"No problem, thanks for sneaking me in." The guard smiled and gave Sky a slight nod as the two girls walked past. Wanda stared at Sky confused at the recent conversation. "Oh sorry, when I first got here this guy told Tony about me and Tony said he didn't have a kid and I explained that Tony didn't know about me so he let me go into the building. Then I met you so everything worked itself out and he didn't get fired." Wanda nodded, still very confused.

"Here, let me." Wanda said. Suddenly the shopping bags began to glow red and lifted from Sky's hands and floated in front of her hands.

"So, you can read minds and have telekinesis. Wow."

"Yes, I have quite a lot of powers." Wanda said with a quiet giggle. The two walked in silence as Wanda navigated the way to the main living room. Sky was in awe as they passed each large room including a huge training room and multiple labs.

"Hey you two, did you have fun?" Sky looked up to see Pepper with a happy face showing. Something told Sky that this woman wasn't just Tony's former secretary.

"Yes, we had much fun." Wanda responded to the woman. Sky nodded in agreement, knowing that Pepper wanted to talk to her. Pepper stared at the girl for a moment, but decided to continue once realizing that Sky had no plan of talking to her.

"So if you guys didn't already eat, the teams having diner. Sky do you like pizza?" Sky nodded and tried to force a smile. It ended up forming a straight line on her face. Pepper sighed and continued to walk ahead of the girls.

"Do you not like Pepper?" Wanda whispered to Sky.

"She seems nice I guess." Sky mumbled. "I just don't connect well with a lot of people. I think I filled out my limit of people I will ever talk to in this building." Sky told Wanda. For some reason Wanda had made it so easy to be friends. Sky had never been able to really make friends. At school she was shy, bullied for her mother, for how poor she was, for not having a dad, for her clothes. Honestly just anything about her was used against her.

"We'll have to work on that." Wanda told the girl with a kind smile and placed her hand on Sky's shoulder.

"Sure."

"Alright, I've got two more." Pepper said as she led Wanda and Sky into the dining room. The previous chatter had quieted and everyone was watching the girls. To be more clear, they were watching Sky.

"Cool, we've got pizza." Tony said as he handed a plate with plain pizza to Sky. She took it and smiled sweetly at the man.

"Thanks." She mumbled taking a seat next to Tony, attempting to avoid all the stares.

"So Sky...is that short for something?" Tony asked, trying to make conversation. Everyone payed close attention as Sky began to answer. Was Tony really trying to interrogate her.
