Maximoff Anomalies

Tommy V

After the revival date, there were several more pages. After Sokovia, his body had been stored in an old SHIELD building. Pietro had came back when everyone else had, at the end of the Blip. He was kept there, trained by Hydra members. According to the iPad, the base was stormed by SWORD six weeks ago. There was nothing else. No body. No exit logs. No answers. Just videos of Pietro being forced into training or being tortured.

His uncle was alive. And holy shit, he was going to be pissed when he realized Tommy was pretending to be his son. Or not. The Pietro that Tommy knew wasn't real. He was a part of Agatha Harkness's twisted mind. He never knew the real Pietro. Maybe he was a jokester like Agatha's Pietro, or maybe he was more like Wanda. He died taking bullets for Clint Barton like Monica had for Tommy and Billy, so maybe he was like Monica.

"You look worried," Aamir said, sitting down beside him, texting on his phone.

Tommy glanced at his phone. "I thought Fury said not to record any stuff," he raised an eyebrow at the sent photos. "Or were you comparing the size of your di-"

"No," Aamir shook his head. "Are you looking through classified files?"

"Yes," Tommy said simply. "But if they didn't want anyone to see, they shouldn't have put it in a clear screen."

"That's what Kamala said," Aamir laughed. "Where did you even get that?"

"Couch," Tommy shrugged. "Would you like some very very classified files?"

"Sure," the older man said

"Pietro Maximoff is alive," Tommy whispered scandalously.

Aamir's jaw dropped. "Isn't that the dad of Kamala's partner in crime?" he asked.

"Dude, even I know more about the Avengers than you, and I only learnt they existed eight months or so ago," Tommy tutted. "Wanda Maximoff's twin brother who died in Sokovia with the whole Ultron thing. Surprise - he was brought back after the Blip and Hydra has been playing babysitter ever since."

"Huh," Aamir mused. "And why exactly isn't this major news? He's an Avenger, right?"

"Yup. And it's classified - well, it was," Tommy clicked onto Instagram to take a photo of the screen, but paused. "Huh."

"What is it now?" Aamir raised an eyebrow.

"Sarah Proctor followed me back on Insta," Tommy said.

"Who?"

"Doesn't matter," Tommy took a photo of Pietro's information. "Hey, I'm hungry, do you know any good places to eat?"

"In a space station? Yeah, there's a McDonalds round the corner," Aamir chuckled.

"Can you buy me a chicken nugget Happy Meal?" Tommy asked.

"Not a chance," the older boy shook his head.

"Pity - oh, it's Naks," Tommy clicked onto the video call. "Hey, if it isn't my favourite girl. How's things down on Earth?"

"You say that as if you aren't there," Nakia tilted her head. "Where are you guys?"

"Kamala is fighting an alien with Captain Marvel and lady who works for Nicholas Joseph Fury, and I'm chilling with Aamir in a space station with the aforementioned Nicholas Joseph Fury," Tommy answered.

"Zo, Bruno is being weird again," Nakia turned to greet Zoe, turning the phone around so that Zoe and Tommy could see each other. Tommy laughed as he caught a glimpse of the girl spill sweet chilli sauce all down her shirt.

"Damn it," Zoe cursed, and Nakia turned the phone back to her.

"I hate to change the subject from Zoe's ruined shirt, but did you seriously just summarize intergalactic warfare like it was a brunch plan?" Aamir interrupted.

"Intergalactic warface? Where are you guys? Jared Corner said that he was walking his dog past your house and it looked like a bomb had been dropped on it," Nakia told him.

"A bomb named Carol Danvers and her Kree enemies," Tommy said.

"You have no idea what confidential information means, do you Bruno?" Aamir laughed.

"Wait - he's not kidding? Aamir, please tell me he's kidding," Nakia sighed.

"Not kidding. Somehow, Kamala, Carol Danvers, and Monica Rambeau got their powers entangled, so now they're off on a mission to save the galaxy," Tommy said.

"That's... sooner than anticipated. I thought they would wait at least a year," Zoe said as she wiped the sweet chili sauce off her sweater. "This is going to stain badly."

"Is that really the priority Zo-hang on," Tommy peered into the screen. "Is that... oh."

"What?" Nakia asked.

"Keep the camera where it is," Tommy zoomed in on the background. There was a boy sitting across a very familiar woman with dark hair. "Agatha... she's free. That's unexpected. How did she- who is that? That's one of the boys on my list-"

"Do you know what he's on about?" Zoe asked.

"Not at all," Aamir shook his head.

Tommy ignored both of them, flicking through a series of files on the ipad. "Charlie Spring. That's Charlie Spring sitting with Agatha Harkness... oh. I was right," he smiled. That was his brother. That dorky British kid was his brother. Damnit, now Billy is taller than him.

And he woke Agatha Harkness up. Why would he do that? If Tommy has his memories, then surely Billy must too. And Billy would remember what Agatha did to them - what she did to him. To both of them. To Wanda, to Vision, to Ralph Bohner (Fake Pietro). What she had been doing to witches across the world for centuries.

And how could Billy even do that? Like physically? Last time Tommy saw his brother, all he could do was mild telekinesis and listening to thoughts, and that was in the witch hex where their powers were amplified. How did he manage to break a mental prison? How could he possibly manage that?

"Uhh, hello? Bruno? Aamir, what's he doing?" Nakia sighed.

"Spiralling, I'm pretty sure," Aamir squinted. "Earth to Bruno?"

"You realize that we aren't on Earth, so that doesn't really apply," Tommy muttered. "Shit, hide the camera, he's looking."

"Who?" Nakia asked, as she repositioned it to pretend to be taking a selfie.

"Don't worry about it," Tommy told her. "I need to make a call. Bye-"

"Right now?" Zoe frowned.

"This person would kill me if she knew I knew what I knew and didn't tell her. I'll call you back in a minute," Tommy said before hanging up, ignoring Aamir's questioning glance.

"You're weird and I'm leaving," Aamir told him.

"I'm not that weird, Mr socks and sandals," Tommy pointed to that disgrace, and Aamir shook his head.

"I'll let you know if I find food," he called as he walked off.

"Thanks Aamir!" Tommy called as he flicked to messages with Sarah Proctor on his phone. He took a photo of Charlie Spring's profile and sent it, flicking her a quick message.

i found him

Photo

That boy's been hanging around Agatha all day

i think he broke her out of the mental prison she was put in
i don't know why

Thank you for telling me.

All good
his name is charlie spring
if you wanted to internet stalk him

Sarah was probably going to tell everyone in Westview that it was Billy. She didn't with Tommy, but that was likely because Tommy's abilities weren't mental, they were about speed. Tommy couldn't create a witch hex, or read minds, or do anything that Wanda could. But Billy could. That would scare them.

Besides, he broke Agatha out of her mental prison. They were going to question how eventually.
