Chapter 1: Ross
Peter was always an intelligent kid. Sometimes, this got him into trouble. When left alone with nothing to do, he could take down the world, metaphorically. He needs to be back in school. Being up in this tower all day will never be good for him.
I stand in the training room with Natasha. She's been helping me on some moves. "I'm going to go check on Peter, okay?" I ask her. She nods and I leave. I make my way to his room. When I get there, I find him hunched over the desk, writing something. "What are you working on?" I ask. He glances at me and goes back to writing. He has bags under his eyes. He had another nightmare.
"Just working on a few equations. Why?"
"Just checking in, is all. How are you holding up?"
"I miss Pietro."
"Yeah, me too. How about we get you out of this room, huh?"
"Sure." We walk down to the living room, finding something to do. We eventually find a chess board. We start playing. To my surprise, he's very good.
"When did you get so good, mysh?"
"Mr. Bruce has been teaching me."
"Good. It's good to pick up a new skill." We end up playing for an hour, part of which was spent on Peter teaching me how to play. I was finally getting the hang of it when...
"I win!" Peter yells.
"Good job, mysh," I smile at him.
"Thanks."
"You've been doing quite well with that American accent."
"I've been practicing."
I glance at the clock. "I have a meeting with the team. Rematch when I'm done?" I stand up.
"I'll win again, but okay," He grins. I nod and make my way to the meeting. It was quite confusing. I wasn't allowed to speak or ask any questions. The Avenger's are confusing. Once the meeting was concluded, we all headed back to the living room. I see Peter playing chess by himself, exactly where I left him. The elevator dings and three men walk in. One man is wearing a military style suit with many pins and ribbons while the other two are just in black suits.
"Stark!" the awarded man yells.
"Ross. May I ask why you're here?" Tony speaks up.
"The Maximoff's. They belong in the custody of SHEILD and will be held in separate facilities," Ross says. "They're coming with me!" I look over to see Peter wearing a scared look. I grab him and pull him behind me, protecting him.
"Seize the assets," Ross orders. The two men walk towards us and Peter's grip on my hand tightens. Natasha and Steve step in front of us.
"Touch them and I won't hesitate to break your arm," Natasha threatens.
"You will not lay a finger on these kids," Steve says, glaring at the men with anger in his eyes.
"My apologies, Ross, but I am gaining legal guardianship over these two. In fact, the papers are on their way. They will be here in 5 minutes," Tony says.
"They are a threat to National Security, Stark!" Ross argues.
"They may be a threat to you, but National Security, I doubt it. They are just fine right here. If you could so kindly leave my property," Tony says.
"You won't take me away from my brother," I say to the man near us.
"Wanda, take Peter to your room," Natasha says.
"We'll come get you when this is over," Steve nods to us. I nod back and lead my little brother away.
(TONY'S POV)
I watch as Wanda leaves with a frightened Peter. "Move out my way, Stark," Ross says.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do that," I smirk.
"If you do not move, I will have you all arrested!"
"You will not take those kids!" I hear the sound of a door being busted in. I turn to see that the two men got past Natasha and Steve.
"Let him go!" I hear Wanda yell.
"Wanda!" Peter yells back.
"Ross, they are just kids. What good do you think separating them would do, huh?" I ask. I hear Peter yell in his native tongue.
"Wanda, what's happening? Where are they taking us?" Natasha translates.
(PETER'S POV)
That man said he was going to take us away. "Wanda, what's going on?"
"I don't know."
"Is that man going to take me away from you?"
"No. I would never let that happen."
"Shut up!" The man yells in English.
"I don't want you to leave. Please don't leave me."
"Peter, you know I would never leave you."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"I'm scared, Wanda. He's hurting me."
"You're hurting him! Can't you see he's scared?" Wanda yells to the man. He did the opposite of what Wanda said and gripped me tighter. I let out a yelp of pain. I look over to see Wanda's eyes glow red. As Wanda stomped on her captors foot, I elbowed mine in the chest. They both let us go. I rush over to Wanda and she hugs me tight.
"You kids are coming with us!" Ross yells.
"You come near us and you'll be going out that window," Wanda says. Tony steps in front of us.
"As far as I'm concerned, they'll be staying here. I'll be their legal guardian in 5 minutes, so I suggest you leave, now," Tony says. Seeing that the fight was useless, they leave. Tony and Ms. Potts sign the papers Tony was talking about.
(WANDA'S POV)
After everything calmed down, Peter and I return to playing chess. "I have an idea," Tony walks up.
"What is it, Tony?" Natasha asks.
"It's not good for a 13 year old boy to be cooped up inside all day long. How about we send him to school?" Tony suggests.
"How does that sound, mysh?" I ask my brother.
Peter perks up. "That sounds great!" He smiles.
"That settles it. You start school tomorrow," Tony smiles.
"Thank you, Mr. Stark," Peter says.
"You're welcome."
