"Ah, the room is great! It's much better than what I had before"
Peter replied, relaxing a bit more. Wanda looked at him, smiling.
"I'm glad you liked it. If you need anything or help decorating, or maybe organizing something in the room, just let me know."
"Thanks, but I think it won't be necessary. Still, I'll keep that in mind"
Peter thanked, returning Wanda's smile. The conversation was flowing casually, and the two seemed more and more at ease with each other.
"If you say so"
Wanda replied calmly. After this comment, Peter was about to speak but was surprised again when Wanda suddenly hugged him once more.
Wanda's hug caught Peter off guard once again, but he didn't resist. The closeness between them felt natural, and both enjoyed the moment. After a few moments, Wanda pulled away with a warm smile.
"You know, Peter, I missed you a lot. I can't quite explain it, but somehow you just make me feel so good"
Confessed Wanda, looking around the room.
Touched by Wanda's words, Peter genuinely smiled.
"I missed you too"
Peter said, returning Wanda's hug, which earned him a small smile.
But this beautiful moment between them was interrupted when someone entered through the door.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything?"
Spoke the unknown voice, grabbing the attention of both Peter and Wanda, who separated abruptly from the hug.
After they looked towards the door, they saw Pietro standing there with an unfriendly expression, observing them.
"Pietro!"
Wanda almost shouted her brother's name in a clear attempt to disguise the surprise in her voice.
"I'm just messing with you, relax"
Pietro said, walking towards Peter and Wanda.
"Hey, man"
Greeted Pietro, extending his hand towards Peter. Still surprised by Pietro's entrance, Peter stood up from the bed, shook his hand, and spoke.
"Hey, Pietro. Didn't expect to see you here."
"So, what do you think of your new home?"
Asked Pietro, staring at Peter.
"I really liked my room, but I haven't had the chance to see everything yet. But at first glance, everything seems pretty cool"
Peter replied, sharing his first impressions of the new place.
Pietro let out a relaxed laugh.
"Good to know that the most important part is already approved. It's going to be nice having you around, Web head."
"Same here, Speedy"
Peter said, making Pietro burst into contagious laughter right after.
After Peter said that, both he and Pietro gave each other a friendly smile, which made Wanda very happy because, finally, they had set aside that silly rivalry. It was also good to see her brother getting along with the person she...
However, her thoughts were interrupted when she realized what she was thinking.
(What's happening to me?)
Wanda wondered mentally, looking back at her brother and Peter.
Wanda's gaze wandered for a moment as she tried to understand the mix of emotions that arose. Pietro, noticing the confusion on his sister's face, decided to ask what was making her so tense.
"Something wrong, sis? You seem lost in your thoughts."
Wanda shook her head, trying to dispel the doubts.
"No, I'm just happy that you two are getting along... and giving up that stupid rivalry, realizing it wouldn't lead anywhere."
Continued Wanda, now with a smile that ended up making Peter blush, caught between the brother and the young man.
"After our discussion, I thought a lot and came to the conclusion that we're better off as friends than enemies. Besides, from now on, we'll be on the same side, so there's no reason to continue that senseless argument."
Pietro, looking at her, not understanding her expression, asked what was causing her so much tension.

Pietro, looking at her, not understanding her expression, asked what was causing her so much tension.
"Nothing told you anything?"
"No, they didn't, about what?"
Wanda asked now, more curious, still with a worried expression, thinking it might be something bad.
Pietro gave Peter a meaningful look before explaining to his sister.
"Well, apparently, starting today, you, me, and Peter are going to be part of Black Widow's team."
"Wow, great, and as always, I'm the last one to know things."
Wanda said with a tone of irony in her voice, leaving the room slightly irritated and with a sad expression, leaving Peter and his brother behind.
"WANDA!"
Peter shouted, trying to follow the redhead, but ended up being interrupted by Pietro.
"Man, I think we better leave her alone for a bit. She's been going through a lot these days..."
Pietro said, staring at his sister slowly moving away before continuing.
"Did she tell you about her adjustment problem?"
Pietro asked, looking at Peter.
Peter didn't answer but nodded, confirming.
"Well, this new world for her is hard to adapt to, and unlike me, the people here, the employees, keep avoiding her at all costs, afraid of what she's capable of."
Pietro said, recounting how difficult these last few days had been for his sister.
"Man, what jerks."
Peter said with an expressionless face full of anger.
Pietro, noticing Peter's serious and dark look, was even scared because he had never seen that, especially in him, who seemed to be a calm person.
"But now that you're here, I think besides making her a little happier, you could help her adapt too."
Pietro said, trying to make Peter return to normal.
(Man, what the hell was that?)
Pietro thought, staring at Peter and feeling a sense of dread for some reason.
