Pietro sighed in frustration from where he was sitting on his bed, facing his sister who was perched on her own. He clenched his jaw and read through the file again. When he finished he threw the folder to the ground.

"Was that necessary?" Wanda asked. Pietro ran a hand down his face.

"I don't know, Wanda. This seems like too high a risk."

"I know," She looked down at her lap. "I just wanted to know about-"

"I know," He said gently. "But if this is the path to find out..." He trailed off at the knock at the door. They both turned to see Archer standing in the doorway, hands in his pockets. 

"We gotta talk."

"You're an agent! How can you be so careless?" Pietro shouted.

"Would you keep it down?" Archer hissed, looking back at the door. "I'm sorry, alright, but what's done is done. He knows" Wanda rubbed her eyes, she was tired of all the secrets.

"Wait...what if he knows?" She whispered, staring at the door.

"We just established he knows," Pietro said angrily.

"No, you idiot! What if he knows it corrupts?"

"Why would he give you the book if-"

"I don't know why! But why else would he be angry that you're trying to convince me not to use the book? What if he gave it to me because it corrupts?"

"We have to tell the team." Pietro stood.

"No! No we can't. They trust this Strange guy, they're not gonna take our word over his." Archer cut in. "If he did it on purpose, then we have to act like we aren't suspicious. Like Wanda is still reading the book."

"Won't he notice if she isn't being corrupted?" Pietro asked.

"We'll have come up with a better plan by then." Archer replied. "For now just keep the book in the closet, and if it calls to you, leave the room."

"Alright," Wanda's voice was soft. "I'm going down to the library. I'm tired and I can't continue this conversation."

"I'll deal with the book and keep an eye on Strange," Pietro said darkly. 

"I'm gonna go check on Amber and meet you down there." Archer tucked his gun at the small of his back and covered it with his shirt before standing to leave. "Don't worry too much about it, alright?"

"Right," Wanda scoffed.
