Gray

Chapter 4

Gray awoke with a weird feeling on her stomach. Almost as if she had too many pot brownies and then drank a liter of soda. But alas, it was merely the fact someone was touching her.

Gray scrambled out of the bed, looking around to see a decorated room but for her, everything was gray. Gray walls, gray floor, gray sheets. Gray everything. It had been something she always hated, not being able to see colour. Now more than ever.

Gray found a pile of clothes near her and changed into them quickly, the jeans and t-shirt a little tight and the heels- well they're heels what do you expect?

Gray walked as quietly out of the room as she possibly could, closing the door behind her. She seemed to be in some kind of hotel or apartment building. Though it seemed a little fancy to be either.

Tiptoeing to the sitting room she noticed a young lady sitting reading a book. "Excuse me? Where am I?" Gray questioned and the girl looked up. Gray's face was filled with recognition and she gulped. "Wanda..."

"How are you today Gray? It seems that every time we're in a room together we try and kill each other. Please, sit." Wanda gestured to the couch across from her. Gray narrowed her eyes but sat down anyways.

"Well other than not knowing where I am I guess I'm alright. What about you?" Wand sighed, placing her hand on Gray's knee.

"Pietro... he's gone." Gray choked up, a fuzzy feeling in her stomach.

"What?" Gray couldn't believe it. Pietro was a little brother to her.

"It's true noona. He's gone." Gray shook her head in disbelief.

"How? When? Why wasn't I told sooner?" Gray demanded.

"He died in the fight with Ultron. He took nearly a hundred bullets to save my friend and a kid. He-" Wanda sniffled. "He's a hero."

"He always was a show off." Gray smiled softly as she remembered some of the times she had spent with him. "Let me guess, he used his signature 'what? You didn't see that coming?' catch phrase?" Wanda nodded as she chuckled. "Gosh he got us in so much trouble with Strucker. Remember when we had that paintball gun fight in the middle of Stucker's office?"

"Oh my gosh he never got that paint out of his carpet!" The girls shared a laugh. "Pietro would've wanted you to have this." Wanda reached beside her and picked up a long, rectangular box before handing it to Gray.

"What colour is it?" Gray asked as she ran her fingers over the silk ribbon.

"The box is scarlet and the ribbon is silver." Gray looked up and smiled before carefully untying the ribbon and lifting up the lid.

"Oh my gods..." Gray's hand flew her mouth and tears welled up I her eyes. "You guys didn't-"

"We did." Gray pulled a sword out of the box, little gems on the hilt with three large gems in the center. "There's my ruby from the necklace," Wanda pointed. "Pietro's diamond from his ring," she pointed again. "And your black pearl from your father's pocket watch. So you can have all of us together at once. Your family. And the sword, well you know whose sword that was."

"My mother's." Gray smiled. "Thank you Wanda. I didn't think you guys actually held onto this."

"Thank Pietro. I just kept it clean. He refused to go anywhere without it. Said that you asked as to watch over it so that's what he would do." Gray felt tears pricking at her eyes and she quickly blinked them away.

"Come give me a hug sis." Gray set the sword down and met Wanda halfway, both of them wrapping their arms around the other. "I missed you."

"I missed you too. Pietro did as well."
