THE QUARTET ENTERED THE AVENGERS TOWERS, with Steve leading them to the lab as the three trailed behind him. Pietro and Wanda walked beside Jamie, their heavy padding footsteps echoing around the halls as silence engulfed around them.
Pietro nervously tugged at his shirt, feeling guilt prickle at his chest. His mind wandered back at the Hydra fascility, where he was willing to leave everything behind, including Jamie who was strapped into misery. He scowled at his past actions, feeling bad for acting out of impulse.
"I'm sorry." Pietro slipped out, running a hand through his blonde locks.
Jamie and Wanda looked at him, confusion etched onto their faces. They watched Pietro gesturing a hand to Jamie, making Wanda give him a thumb up with a supportive smile.
"I—uh, I'm sorry for doubting you. You work with Stark, so I immediately thought that you were also the bad guy. But after getting to know you, you're not like him. I'm sorry, Jamilla." Pietro profusely apologized, his voice turning smaller as he noticed Steve halting with his steps.
Jamie's eyebrows pinched, a thoughtful look on her face as she downed his words. Her face softened, watching his blue eyes tinted with guilt as he nervously looked at her. She let out a hum, a kind smile forming her lips. "It's fine, Pietro, really. I don't blame you—I mean, it's Stark," she said, her voice lacing with slight playfulness.
Pietro chuckled, a knowing look plastered on his face. He bit his lip before voicing his thoughts. "You're not mad?" he asked, his Sokovian accent floating through.
The Heroine chuckled with a shrug. "No, not really. I mean, it's pretty understandable to think that way, but Stark has grown more than you think. He's not the same person he was a few years ago. And with me, I hold no grudges." she answered simply, her hands tucked inside her pockets.
Pietro let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He nodded at her words, moving his gaze down his shoes. "Good, good." he mumbled, feeling heat flood his cheeks.
Jamie patted his back before turning her attention to Wanda who looked at the moment with a satisfied grin. She chuckled, "Did you make him do this?" she cracked a joke, earning a small giggle from the young teen who shook her head.
"Nope. That's all him." Wanda replied, tucking her hair strands away from her face.

After walking through endless halls, they finally reached to the lab where Tony and Bruce were located. Steve, as usual, stepped in front of them, his stoic expression plastered onto his handsome face as he looked at Tony with a disapproving glare. "I'm gonna say this once."
