Wanda's POV

"I want to go to court." Peter said deadpanned.

Then Pepper and I looked at each other. "Then let's go to court Mysh." I said.

After a minute, Pepper started calling every single law firm that she thought would be the best of help. I think Peter's doing the right thing I could tell he was sick and tired of the chaos.

But now he's finally bringing the fight to the judge. We already know we're gonna go in and be judged by others because they think they know the full story, but I don't think they were there in London when Beck was trying to kill my brother and his classmates.

Pepper was on the phone for hours so Peter and I tried to be productive hanging out with Morgan making value of our time...sort of.

Here's the rundown: Morgan, Peter and I decided to make some brownies and I got stuff on my clothes so that meant I would have to change my shirt so I left them in the kitchen and then I come back to flour everywhere.

And when I say everywhere I mean it somehow it got on the ceiling there were footprints too which meant Peter was trying to escape from Morgan but still has a good amount in his hair.

Spidey senses if I had any would've come in handy at that time I told them to start cleaning up and so we did putting the brownies in the oven and setting a timer.

Pepper came in asking me and Peter to come in the living room so we told Morgan to set up a movie and then we followed Pepper into the living room.

"So I called everyone I know to help with the case and even if someone said they'd help it'd take weeks months even to get a hearing I did all I could guys we just got to play the long game." She explained.

"It's okay Mrs. Stark I can wait." I could tell Peter was sad my brother is an open book and I know what he's thinking and how he's feeling.

It's hard to watch Peter's life crumble all around him and not be able to be his lifeline. I just want this to be over for him so he doesn't have to worry all the time. He just needs to be a kid is that so hard to ask?

Maybe it is maybe it isn't but all that he's been through he doesn't need anymore chaos and trouble and if I need to march up to a judge and demand a hearing I'll do it. (You all know she'll do it don't test Wanda Maximoff.)

I hugged Peter feeling his frustration I bet he wants to scream out all of the bottled up emotions he keeps locked away in a chest but I know he doesn't want to lash out because that's not the person he is. And if he did he'd feel guilty, which is the last thing he needs.

But if and when we get the hearing, and clear our family name and get the closure we desperately need, and needed for a long time, there's going to be some sort of consequence to follow with it. I wonder how Ned and MJ are coping with all of this? Despite coming over everyday to give Peter his stuff from school, they can't hangout because they have lives of their own too.

Peter and Ned have been best friends since they started high school, and they're sophomores now, meaning that they'll be graduating in two years. Peter is absolutely in love with MJ, and he'd do anything to keep her safe, especially if anything happened to her.

They've been together almost a year and a lot can happen in a year and if they had to say goodbye to each other they'd be heartbroken.

Pepper and I stayed up till 1am talking about how we're going to speed up the process of the whole thing. She explained, "Wanda, this isn't going to be like the press conference Peter did, it's going to be a lot worse."

I didn't quite follow along, having no experience with law and order myself, "How so?"

Pepper explained, "The lawyers with the police are going to ask Peter questions to try and hurt him by twisting his words. The video of his interview will be submitted as evidence, which can go both ways. The jury will go whichever way they want, but they'll probably make Peter look like a horrible person and we can't do anything to interfere with the questioning, unless we want to be detained. Peter won't be able to call out to you, and they'll most likely try and use his tremors against him. We have to prepare him to make sure nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing goes sideways."

"I understand." I replied.

"Good now let's get some sleep goodnight."

"Goodnight Pepper." After we bid our farewells I visited Peter's room seeing him sleep peacefully I quietly walked up to him and kissed his forehead then went to bed myself.
