The knock on the apartment door made the trio look at each other in confusion. Peter and Sophia have been home from school for about an hour now, the subway having a two hour delay because of an issue at the upcoming station, so they were pretty tired from standing around.

"Who could that be," Aunt May frowned.

"Do you think it's Mr.Stark?"

"I mean I don't think we'll know for sure until we open the door," Sophia laughed and walked over to it. She unlocked the door and stared shocked at who stood on the other side,
"Wanda?"

Peter got up off the couch and stood next to Sophia,
"This is different."

"Hello," she smiled, "I wanted to help you out Sophia. I know we normally save this for the headquarters but Vision helped me come up with something."

Sophia nodded and opened the door wider to let her in, she then noticed Vision standing aside her,
"Oh, hello. Have you been there this whole time."

"Correct."

"Okay."

Peter chuckled and went back to May, sitting on the couch as Wanda walked in with Vision. Sophia watched them before closing the door, her hands heating up the handle, the only reason she noticed was because as she pulled away the brass was red.

"Shit,"

"The powers are getting stronger and it's scaring you because you feel less in control," Vision stated as he stared at Sophia.

"Yeah," she clasped her hands together, "I'm afraid of hurting the people I care about."

Peter rubbed the back of his neck with a smile when Wanda looked in his direction. May nudged him as well, he thought at first it was due to hinting at Sophia saying she cared about him, but with one look in her direction he saw she was very much confused. May had no clue who these people were but figured they had something to do with Peter not Sophia.

"At least with your powers you can charge up the apartment if we forget to pay a bill."

"Shut up, Peter."

Wanda laughed and turned back towards Sophia, "aside from that. I can help you maintain your energy. Let's go meditate."

May watched the pair leave and she rubbed Peter's arm, "the way you look at her. Gosh, that'll be awkward if I were to bring her in forever right?"

"Like adoption," he smirked at his Aunt's lack of subtly.

"Right," she paused, "she told you didn't she?"

"Pretty much. We didn't completely discuss it but she knows I like her and you're not my mom exactly so it's not illegal or weird-..."

"That's okay, you don't have to explain it."

Peter blushed, "sorry. I'm not even sure if she likes me back, I'm overthinking."

May cocked her head with a small smile,
"Oh Peter, you're not overthinking. You're oblivious, honey."

Vision laughed from the armchair opposite and the pair looked over at him. Peter blushed more knowing another person, aside from Ned and May, know about his crush. Including his crush but she hasn't said anything which makes him self conscious. Actually, KAREN knows too now that he thinks of it.
He's not subtle, that's for sure.

"The feeling is mutual," Vision confirmed.

"How would you even know?"

He tapped his forehead exactly where the mind stone is embedded. The faint yellow glow appeared when he did so, Aunt May stared in confusion. Peter knew exactly what his silent motion meant and he huffed to himself.

"Stay out of my mind, dude."

"I'll turn you to ash if you challenge me, spider."

Peter swallowed and raised his hands, "no hard feelings or tension, Vis."

Vision nodded to himself and stared at the closed door the girls were in. He sat like that until one emerged an hour later,

"You're going to want to see this."

They all followed Wanda as she led them over to Peter's dark room, a blue haze shining through the cracked open door. When she pushed it open a bit more, they saw Sophia levitating. She was meditating surrounded by an orb of electricity. She was still and seemed deep in thought. They watched for a moment more before Wanda quietly shut the door.

"I think she'll do well hanging with Thor."

"Oh come on, he's a handsome God," Peter whined.

May took a step back, waving her hand to stop the chatter and closed her eyes,
"She has powers?"

Her question sounded exasperated, Peter felt guilty for not telling her but it was Sophia's choice to protect his Aunt from added stress. This way is more preferred though, May can't yell at them because for one, they have guests and two, she may startle the floating electric teen causing her to burn down their apartment. Aunt May wouldn't be getting her safety deposit back for sure if that happened.
