"So, I uh...talked to my mum" I told them, while I sipped a cup of tea and struggled to not lift my gaze from the floor.
"We talked to her, too" Tony said.
"How do you feel about living here for a while?" asked Steve, gently.
Geez, how did I feel? It's been so long since someone asked me that question.
"I-it's ok" I stuttered.
"We will make sure you're safe. And, uh...once you feel better, you are gonna have to learn how to use those cool powers of yours" replied Tony.
I knew he tried to make me feel better, but it sounded like I was 6 years old.
"Yeah, I know...".
Pietro ran into the room, creating a wind that blew my hair in my face. He accidentally knocked over Tony's cup of coffee, who broke into dozens of sharp pieces on the floor. I startled at the noise.
Pietro stopped an turned around, facing Tony, who was not happy.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't-" he started.
Tony interrupted him by lifting his finger.
"You owe me a mug, Speedy Gonzales" he replied in an exasperated tone.
I snorted, splashing tea around. I started laughing, wiping my mouth. The others looked surprised, but they sketched a smile.
I laughed even harder, grabbing my stomach. They started chuckling, too, and eventually, we were all shaking with laughter. Wow, I don't know what has gotten into me. Two days ago I was tortured, yet here I am laughing like nothing's wrong. I wiped a tear from my eye and coughed, leaning back on the couch. Wow, I had really missed Tony's comments. And this one wasn't even that special, but seeing that he hasn't changed made something in my heart feel warm.
"Sorry" I muttered, embarrassed.
"No, laugh! It's nice to see you happy" said Pietro.
But was I happy?
He didn't seem to have changed, either. Actually, none of them did. The thought painted a soft smile on my face. Even though I still couldn't believe this past month's events, I could maybe try to move forward. Maybe.
"Um...thank you. To all of you."
"For what?" Wanda asked, softly.
"Thank you for caring about me. You didn't have to care. But you did."
