Pietro, puzzled by Peter's abrupt change of expression, tried to understand what was going on. However, before he could ask any questions, Peter broke the silence with a calm voice, returning to normal.

"I hope you're right."

Peter said, returning to normal.

"Dude, did something happen? Are you okay?"

Pietro asked, now more serious, feeling a strange atmosphere forming.

Peter blinked rapidly as if trying to dispel his dark thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just... didn't know about this whole Wanda situation. It's heavy what they're doing to her."

Peter replied, trying to pull himself together.

Pietro nodded understandingly.

"I understand, I'm feeling the same way, but I can't blame them for being afraid of us."

OUTSIDE THE COMPLEX

AT THE SAME TIME

After Steve had asked Natasha to show Peter around the complex, Peter was walking around the complex while talking about some important matters with Tony.

"Tony, are you sure it was a good idea to bring the boy over to our side? I don't know, he's still just a kid."

Steve asked, his tone of voice showing a certain amount of concern.

"Trust me, it'll be good for both sides, both for him to mature as a hero and for us, who are more like tired mules. What's more, not only is the boy very strong, but he also has that spirit of youth running through his veins."

Tony replied unceremoniously before continuing his reasoning.

"And there's also the case of the little witch. Remember what you told me?"

Tony asked, looking at Steve seriously and then receiving a nod from him in confirmation.

"Well, since you told me that Wanda was having some trouble adjusting, I thought that maybe the boy could boost her spirits."

Tony concluded, in a calm manner as he walked with his hands in his pockets.

"I hope it works."

Steve replied, still looking worried.

"But let's put that aside for a moment. Do you think something might end up happening between the boy and the little witch? Or is something already happening, I don't know, like are they getting together or maybe secretly dating?"

Tony asked with a somewhat indifferent countenance, staring at Steve.

Steve pondered Tony's question for a moment before answering.

"Tony, I don't know. They're both still too young for that, but I think that if something happens, it could be good for both him and her. After all, she needs support, and he could be the key to helping her."

"Captain, captain, you more than anyone should know that for love there is no time."

Tony said ironically, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"I don't know, I'm just a bit worried about them because Natt sometimes doesn't know how to hold back when she's fighting someone, especially when she's committed to doing something."

Steve replied, a little worried about the training Natasha would give the three of them.

"Relax popsicle, those three are incredibly strong, they'll be able to adapt very well to that crazy woman's style."

"I hope everything goes well."

Said Steve as he walked back alongside Tony to his car, which was in front of the complex. However, their attention ended up being redirected to Wanda, who was rushing out of the complex with an unfriendly expression on her face; while she was a little angry, she had a sad countenance, indicating that something had happened inside.

"Wanda?"

Steve asked, staring at the girl's expression from a distance, as she quickly walked away with long, heavy steps towards a secluded part of the complex.

"Did something happen in there?"

Steve asked, while looking at Tony with a confused face.

"I don't know about that, but one thing's for sure, there's something there."

Tony replied with a smile on his face.

After saying those words, Tony turned and started walking back towards the complex. As he did so, Steve became a little confused and stopped him, catching his eye.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Steve asked, now staring at Tony, already a little further away from where they were.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to ask the boy what happened."

Tony replied, turning around again and walking back into the complex.

10 minutes later...

INSIDE PETER'S ROOM

After Tony entered the boy's room without making a sound and without being noticed (after all, the door was open), Peter was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the floor with a worried and at the same time thoughtful expression on his face that ended up not even noticing Tony's presence in there (but no, his spider-sense had already alerted him that someone was in there.

"Did you do something to make the little witch angry, kid?"

A hitherto unknown voice asked from the direction of the door.

After Peter turned around to find out who it was (already knowing), he saw Tony standing in front of the door, staring at him.

"Mr. Stark, what are you doing here? I thought you'd already left."

Peter asked, feigning an expression of surprise.

"I was about to leave, but this unforeseen event happened and I decided to see what happened. Did you do something to make the little witch so angry?"

Tony asked again, now moving a little closer to Peter.

"No, Mr. Stark. I would never do anything to hurt or harm Wanda. She'd be the last person I'd think of doing anything like that to, after all, she's suffered enough."

Peter answered truthfully, staring at Tony.

"Then why did she leave like that?"

Tony asked, trying to understand what had really happened during the time he had left Peter in the room.

"I'm still not sure what really upset her, but what happened was this: as soon as she came to see me and welcome me, her brother and I ended up mentioning that thing you told me about the teams, remember?"

Tony said nothing, but nodded to confirm that he had understood.

"Well, after that, she ended up getting angry at always being the last to know about things and ended up being devastated by it. And in the middle of it all, I found out from her brother that the staff at the complex are avoiding her. Is that true?"

Peter asked, becoming slightly serious again.
