FINALE PART FOUR
-WANDA AND PIETRO-

  I don't really know these two either. I've got to be honest, I don't really know anyone besides Tony and Clint. I would just hang out alone, kinda sad when you think about it. Anyway, we all came from Sokovia, I guess that's something. I just didn't talk to them a lot, they liked to keep to themselves, like I did. The only difference is that they had a healthy relationship with their sibling.

  "Hey, can I talk to you guys?" I asked when I found them in the kitchen.

  "Of course, is everything alright?" Wanda asked, she was sweet.

  "Um, yeah. Yeah everything is okay, I just... I'm leaving for the next six months and I don't know if I'll make it back alright, so I've been saying goodbye to everyone... and I wanted to see if you two wanted to do something."

  "Oh honey," Wanda hugged me, I let it happen.

  "I'm okay with it, you don't have to worry about that."

  "I don't doubt you are, what do you want to do?"

  "That's the thing, I don't really know what anyone really likes because I didn't hang out with anyone..."

  "Well, lucky for you, we love to do lots of things," Pietro finally spoke up.

  "Like?"

"Have you seen Tony's game room?"

  Sure enough, Tony had an entire room dedicated to being an arcade... and it was a huge room. I haven't seen a whole lot of arcades in my time, but this had to be one of the biggest ones in the world. It had everything, including lights that would give anyone epilepsy.

  "Woah...."

  "Pretty nice, isn't it?"

  "Yeah, wow."

  "What do you want to play?"

  "I... I don't know."

  "Wanda and I live in here, we'll show you everything."

They really did show me EVERYTHING. My god, it took all day, but it was so much fun. They kicked my ass at every game we played, but it was still awesome. I can't believe I didn't hang out with the Maximoff twins before. They were like me, had gone through something traumatic like I did, ripped from their homes, they were like me. I could've probably connected with them better than anyone else here.

We were all starving after, so we stole Tony's card... and one of his cars, and went out for some burgers. They didn't let me drive, which was fine, my hands were all cramped up from playing video games all day. We went to Five Guys, it was just around the corner.

We laughed for hours, it was so much fun. I didn't realize how much I was going to miss everyone, the closer I get to possibly losing them, the more I love them.

  "You don't have to go, you know."

  "But I do."

  "You just got here! You're really going to leave us already?"

  "Wanda, I've been here for long enough. I gotta do what I gotta do. It'll probably be fine, it's not like I'm doomed to never see you guys again."

  "I know, but it's dangerous. You're wanted by a lot of people."

  "Thank you Pietro, for that boost of confidence in my choices."

  "I'm just saying, you're a kid, nobody is forcing you to do this."

  "I'm older than both of you. I know more than both of you. I'll be okay. I've survived a lot, I can survive more."

  "That is not a safe mindset."

  "Oh well.  Seriously, I don't want you guys to worry."

  "Seriously, we can't not worry. We just met you, we can't lose you! You're the only other kid around. When Peter's gone, who are we going to play games with?"

  "Each other?"

  "Not as fun. I've kicked Pietro's ass too many times, it's gotten sad."

  "Hey!"
