Didn't See That Coming (Pietro Maximoff X Reader)

《E I G H T》

Pietro's eyes widened as he felt the, very faint, heartbeat. He leaned down and pressed his ear to her chest and a glimmer of hope sprouted inside of the teen as he heard the same thing. His head shot upwards meeting Clint's confused eye line.

"S-She's alive!" Pietro stammered out to the older Avenger. Clint's eyes slightly enlarged before he turned back to small child and nodding to towards the boy.

"Come on, if we can get her to the transport we can keep her stable until we reach the Helicarrier." Clint explained and Pietro nodded. Pietro had never ran so fast in all his life. All that was on his mind was saving Y/n. Once he had reached the transport he gently laid her cold body onto the ship's floor, never leaving her side not even when the medics came to asses her wounds.

"She's lost a lot of blood. I don't know if she will make it." One of the medics informed him and Pietro felt his heart drop.

"No, no, she has to make it. I-I need her." Pietro said his eyes filling once again with tears. The medic sighed and nodded before placing a hand on the distressed boy.

"We'll do everything we can." She said before she returned to her work. Pietro silently sat down on the seat closest to Y/n and quickly grabbed her limp hand, squeezing it slightly in his own. In all his life he had never felt such worry and heartbreak, and for a second it was only him and Y/n in the world. As the jet began to take off Pietro watched impatiently as Y/n's body was tended to. Once the boat had docked on the Helicarrier, the medics carried Y/n's body out and placed her on a stretcher. As she was wheeled away Pietro went to follow them, but was stopped by one of the officers.

"You can't follow us, she needs emergency surgery we will notify you when it is finished." The officer said before pushing Pietro back slightly.

"What? No, she needs me!" Pietro argued his eyes never leaving the medic team.

"Speedy! Calm down, she's in good hands," Clint said as he rushed to the teens side, pulling him back," Come on, let's find-"

"No! I won't leave her. Not again." Pietro said as he continued to struggle against Clint's hold. Clint looked into the boy's eyes, feeling his hear crack as the teen's ocean eyes well up with tears. Pietro's mind was focused completely on what he could've done to save Y/n. If only he hadn't left her side, she would be celebrating with the rest of the team. If he had taken those bullets instead she would still be laughing at something stupid Wanda had said. If only he had been faster she would still be here. If only he had been better.

"Kid, listen. The doctors here are gonna do the best they can. She's strong, heck she to a hit from both Cap and Nat, she'll be fine. Let's go find your sister." Clint said as he pulled Pietro into a hug. Pietro, in his disheveled state, returned to hug, gripping onto Clint's suit tightly as he sobbed into his shoulder. Years and years of mental trauma from experiments had taken it's toll on Pietro's mind and losing Y/n was the breaking point. Clint tightened his grip around the boy as if he was comforting his own son after a hard day.

"Pietro!" Wanda's voice shouted out breaking the two men out of their embrace. Pietro looked up, tears streaming down his cheeks, before he looked around the deck of carrier in search of his sister. When he saw her she was, dirty and had bruises and cuts across her body. He sped out of Clint's arms and swept his sister into a hug, desperately needed her comfort.

"Wanda, thank god your ok!" He said as he pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Pietro, is she..... is Y/n ok?" Wanda asked, her eyes wide.

"I.... I don't know. They, they took her away. I couldn't go with her." Pietro breathed out. Wanda's lip quivered before she returned her brother's tight embrace. As Pietro hugged his sister his eyes moved to the man next to her. Vision. He had met the android and trusted him as much as his sister, but he couldn't help but glare at the android as he gazed at his sister. When the twins separated they were assigned to help the civilians move inside. Pietro did as he was told, but his mind was still on Y/n, the worry and concern never leaving his face. Once everyone was inside and safe he and the rest of the team moved into a separate room.

"Hey." Nat said once she saw Pietro entered the room. Pietro had stopped crying at this point and only hummed in response.

"You know, she cared a lot about you. When we were locked in together she would light up when I talked about you. She's strong, she'll be fine." Nat said placing a loving hand on his shoulder. Pietro soaked in her words and gave the spy a small smile. Nat returned it, growing attached to the three teens. Since Nat couldn't physically have children she had to begun to grow a motherly feeling towards the three.

Wanda came and stood next her to brother before the two moved towards the table in the center of the room. The team each moved to their assigned seats before Fury walked through the doors.

"Have you-" Clint began, only for Fury to hold up a hand, silencing his instantly.

"She's fine, Barton. She's in surgery now, but the doctors are hopeful. She'll be out in a few ours. Luckily, no of the bullets hit an major organs. She has a few broken bones and some internal bleeding but she'll live." Fury informed the team, but he was more speaking to Pietro than anyone else.

"What about the city?" Steve asked, as he laid his interlocked hands on the table in front of him.

"Of course theres casualties, but for the most part the city is ok." He explain putting his hand down and raising up a holographic picture of the city the group could see the giant hole left by Ultron. Pietro and Wanda felt a certain sadness wash over them, after all if was their home. Fury began to debrief the team on how S.H.I.E.L.D was going to work on damage, but half way through his speech an agent entered the room.

He walked swiftly to Fury's side and whispered something to him. Fury's stance relaxed slight before whispered something back to the man. Without hesitation the man walked over to Pietro and Wanda.

"Come with me." He ordered. Pietro and Wanda hesitated slightly, before slowly standing. The man led them out of the debriefing and through the hallways of the carrier. Pietro and Wanda kept giving each other nervous glances. They kept walking for a few more minutes before they finally reached wherever the man was leading them to. The man stopped at a door before turning to the two and nodding towards it.

"She's out of surgery and stable. The doctors expect a full recovery," The man said gesturing to the door," You can see her now." Pietro wasted no time in speeding into the room. His eyes widened at the sight.

Y/n laid motionless on the bed, her legs and lower stomach. Her skin was pale and her lips held a small frown. Pietro sped to her side, grasping her hand tightly. He brought her hand to his lips and he kissed her knuckles lovingly as his other hand brushed through her h/c hair.

"Oh princessa." He whispered painfully. Wanda walked to the other side of Y/n and Pietro watched as her eyes turned red.

"What happened? To Ultron?" Pietro asked. Wanda looked up at her brother.

"I found him injured and killed him. He deserved it after what he did to her." Wanda said as she held up a hand to Y/n's forehead, red wisps of magic surrounding Y/n's head.

"She is dreaming." This one sentence gave Pietro some comfort and he couldnt help but smile at the thought.

"Is she in pain?"

"Only slightly, but I can help." Wanda answered before focusing all her energy on helping numb her pain. Pietro sighed when Wanda pulled her hand away.

"I'll be back, send for me when she wakes up." Wanda said before leaving the room. As soon as his sister left Pietro broke down into tears. He squeezed Y/n's pale hand tightly and used the other one to caress her face. He dropped to his knees beside the bed and stared tearfully at the girl across from him. 

"Oh, мой угол...... why? Why did you do it?" He cried. Pietro's heart ached when you didn't respond and a fresh wave of salty tears cascaded down his face and off his chin. 

"Please, please, you have to wake up. Я не могу жить без тебя." He whispered leaning forwards to kiss her temple. Pietro would wait by your side for years if needed, he just couldn't fathom a world without you and was determined to never leave your side again.
