There is No Way Home

Finding a new home

Elsa was left alone in Peter's apartment and saw he didn't even have much to clean. The place was already as clean as it could get (For someone who lives alone and doesn't spend a lot of time at his place) and what needed to be cleaned took her under half an hour. That brings to Elsa's mind that he doesn't keep the place a mess even when he lives alone and doesn't have any friends or family.

Looking around the place, she didn't want to snoop but remembered he said to help herself to whatever could keep her entertained. She looked around and saw he kept a sewing machine where he left a lot of fabric she had to guess was there for his suit. Next to it was some figure of a character she had no idea of what. Some menacing man with what looked to be plastic electricity in his hands.

Looking next to it, she saw there was a coffee cup that looked to be worn down over a few weeks. Sighing, she sat down on the bed, hearing a squeak coming from her gown. Reaching in to see what that could have been, she pulled out what turned out to be a stuffed penguin. It was Sir Jorgenbjorgen. Worn down and covered in stitches, Elsa began to tear up at the reminder of her home and the family she might never see again.

She lost her parents and was flung into this strange new world; she would probably never see her sister again. Would she even recognize her after so long of being apart? They've only seen each other through a door. Never even seen, only the muffled voice through a door.

Now she might never see her sister again. Never see her home again.

But she kept her faith, knowing that Peter would get her home. She doesn't know why, but she feels she can trust him. Maybe because he saved her from all of those guys that ganged up on her. Maybe it was because he has powers like her, meaning he could understand what she's going through, even when she never confessed to having powers.

Or maybe it's their background. Their stories almost being mirrors of one another. Losing the people that they love at a young age and needing to erase themselves from the people they love using magic. Again, she hasn't informed him on that part but knew she was going to need to if his quest to find Strange went sideways.

She was removed from her thoughts when Peter unlocked the door and took off the final notice on his door. Sighing, she could see his quest didn't go so well with the sour look on his face right there.

"I'm sorry. Dr. Strange seems to have left." Peter apologizes and holds the bag up with a small smile. "But I got you some present clothes." He then handed the bag to her and allowed her to take a look. "I got a few different sizes as I didn't know your exact sizes and a small assortment of different size shoes."

"I figured it wouldn't be that easy." Elsa said as she smiled at him for trying and somehow knew that it was never going to be that easy. She took the clothes into the bathroom to change into them and see what would fit her. "Thank you." She said and closed the door to start to change. "What did that note on the door say?"

"Oh...yeah. Turns out my job isn't paying me enough to keep this place, so I need to find somewhere else to live. Hoping I could get you home before this happened." Peter explained to her. "But I actually was offered a place by someone I met in the park."

"Really?" Elsa asked, surprised to hear that. "A place you can afford?"

"More like a roommate situation," Peter explained the situation to her. "The woman's name is Kate Bishop. She's the head of a company named Bishop Security, explained that she's looking for some people to live with. Said she's getting lonely."

"I guess that makes sense," Elsa said through the door. "No one likes to be alone."

"But before I confirmed anything with her, I thought it would be best to talk with you first," Peter said as he leaned on the counter near the door. "How would you feel about it? I mean, you're stuck here so I thought it would be best for you to decide."
