Chapter 12: Waking up

When I come to, I'm in the lab. Again. Last time I was in here was when the Avengers took me. I laugh at the memory.

"You're awake", I hear someone says. I look to my left and see Pietro sitting in a chair next to my bed.

"Yah, why wouldn't I be?", I asked.

"You've been out for a month", Tony says coming in.

"Oh."

"Everyone was worried", Pietro says.

"Well they shouldn't have been worrying. I'm nothing to worry about. I'm just an assassin who wouldn't even have been an avenger if you guys hadn't found me. I would've still been in an alley attacking police officers", I say harshly.

Tony looks taken aback. I just look at him with indifference.

To break the silence, Pietro coughs.

"Why did you save me, Alejandrea?", he asked.

I whipped around to look at him. For once I was lost for words.

"I-i... don't know. I was crying and I-i think one of my tears landed on your face, then Clint said to look at yours wounds so I did and they were healing", I said.

"What were you thinking right then", Tony asked.

"I was thinking why would he do this when he has so much to live for although I guess I am grateful that he saved my bestie. I think I might have been thinking in my subconscious that I wanted to heal him", I say. I didn't say all of what was going on in my mind but that's alright. I don't want Pietro to know about my little crush on him just yet.

"So why were you crying over me?", Pietro asks.

"Because your sister needs you", I lie.

Just then Wanda came skipping in sending a huge grin in my direction. I internally groan.

Just then Wanda started singing.

"Pietro and Alie sitting in a tree. K-I-S-."

"Shut up!", me and Pietro shout at the same time.

Tony looks at me then Pietro, and the Wanda.

He looks back at me and starts laughing.

When he looks at me again, I make hand motions saying I will snap his neck. That got him to shut up.

Wanda opens her mouth again and I say, "I'm going to my room", before she can start singing again.

I start walking toward the door when something stops me. I look down to see red mist.

"Pietro and Alie sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, second comes marriage, third comes baby in a baby carriage", she sings.

I growl and the red mist goes away. I whip around to see Pietro standing right in front of me. He's blushing and I back away.

"I'm gonna go now. Bye!", I say quickly.

I walk to the door open it and ignore Pietro trying to call my name and talk to me. He finally got annoyed enough to just pick me up bridal style and zoom away. When he stop we are in a room I hadn't seen before.

"Who's room is this?", I ask.

"Mine", he says.

"What are we doing here", I say nervously.

"We're here because I wanted to talk to you", he said.

"Well I'm going to my room so if you want you can follow me but I'm going there no matter what", I say.

"Fine, we can talk there", he says as he picks me up bridal style.

He runs to my room passing Clint and try to say something to him but he just ignores Pietro.

We get there and he sets me down facing away from him. As soon as I turn around though he looks down at the ground for minute.

When he looks back up, he walks toward me. I back up but only into a wall. He continues walking forward and gives me a small peck on the lips.

I was taken aback. Why did he kiss me?

He starts leaning forward and I feel myself start to lean forward but I quickly stop myself. I push him away and go sit down on my couch.

"Get out of my room", I say calmly.

"Okay", he says and walks out.

I sigh and fall backwards. What have I gotten myself into?
