Good eye, sniper-
Who: Wanda, Pietro
When: May 25th, Monday morning
Where: Blue's training room
What: Wanda watches her brother train
Warnings: Mild language

"I can't believe you dragged me here," Wanda whined at Pietro as they strolled the halls towards Blue's training room. They both knew she wasn't actually annoyed, she was just in a petulant mood and he'd woken her up. For that, he had suffered her whinging for the past ten minutes, but now she decided a ceasefire was in order. In a gesture of goodwill, despite her complaints, she hooked an arm in his and rested her head on his shoulder while they walked. She actually didn't mind being anywhere Pietro was, even if it meant wasting time watching him run around the training room- or rather, watching a blur run around the training room because he was really too fast to actually observe.

"Oh, before I forget, I've got something for you," she stopped before they reached the training room and looked around to make sure there weren't any guards very close by. When she was sure no one else would notice, she pulled fifteen dollars from her pocket and pressed it into his hand. Sure, all thirty may have gotten her an outfit, but she would rather share than feel guilt at keeping anything from her twin. "Don't blow it all in one place," she said sarcastically and then laughed.

	"Shhh shhh," she murmured soothingly and pressed a finger to his lips. "Don't bother with him. He's an idiot." She did her best to help maneuver him into a more upright position. "And don't apologize. You were just trying to help. You didn't do anything wrong." She shot another glare over her shoulder and then turned her eyes back to her brother.

"Clearly," he muttered bitterly, but her words seemed to have a slightly soothing effect, and he calmed noticeably, letting out a heavy sigh.

"I was being a jerk," he argued with a frown, "I shouldn't have done that. I just...I want you to be safe...I don't want you to have to fight people." He flexed his toes, making a face and bracing himself with his hands. "Fucking collars," he muttered under his breath.

	"Unfortunately, fighting's what this place is all about," she smiled sadly. "Can you stand up?" she asked, prepared to help him to his feet. She touched her own collar, though her feelings towards it were fare more grateful than her brother's probably were towards his. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'd fight for you if they'd let me," he said, nodding and using her as leverage to get to his feet, wincing slightly. "Right, so...that's probably enough training for today then, eh?" he said, giving an attempt at a cheeky grin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know you would. But I wouldn't let you." She kissed his cheek and helped to haul him to his feet. She frowned and stepped away, glancing around at the trainer who had made no move to bring in any other guards. "Are you sure? I'll bet you probably want to run around some more."

	"You know me too well," he said with a laugh, "But I'm not sure I trust myself to be a good little mutant. My fist might accidentally run into his face. Unless you wanna run with me, I'll carry you," he offered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She paused for a moment to consider. She generally didn't mind 'running' with Pietro so long as he didn't go overboard and, she realized, there was little opportunity for that in such a small space. "Okay, sure, but don't make fun of me if I close my eyes, and don't overdo it." She reached out so he could pull her onto his back. "And no jokes about my weight. If anything I've lost weight since the last time we did this. So nyah," she stuck out her tongue petulantly and smiled in an attempt to lighten the mood.

Pietro laughed good-naturedly, pulling her into a comfortable position, shifting her weight slightly and making sure he had a good grip. He hadn't paid such close attention the fist time they'd tried this, (when not in mortal peril) and it had very nearly ended badly. Since then he had always taken the time to ensure she was properly balanced.

"Aw, you're no fun, the faster the better. How 'bout I run us up the wall," he teased, though he had no intention of doing so with such precious cargo on his back. "Ready?" he said with a grin, pausing dramatically before taking off.

Wanda let out the smallest little squeal- which she immediately mentally chided herself for because she was sure it would get her laughed at. For the most part she was enjoying herself, though really this was all for Pietro's benefit. He needed to let off some steam. Her biggest concern was that he would do something to get himself into trouble. As long as the trainer was willing to let them stay in here, she would make sure her brother got out all this excess energy so that it couldn't be put to ill-use. "I'm good," she said into his ear when she started to feel a little nauseous. This was a little like a roller coaster for her- her stomach inevitably always dropped. "Put me down."

Pietro liked running with Wanda. He felt it was a way he could truely share himself with her. Though he couldn't even begin to imagine how strange it must be for her. Every moment he wasn't going this speed was strange for him. He figured it must be something of the opposite for her.

He smiled breathlessly, slowing and finally coming to a halt, gently setting her down. "You okay?" he asked with a small laugh.

	"Yep, yeah, just a bit nauseous," she leaned against the wall and squeezed her eyes shut. If she gave it a few moments, the dizziness would pass. She felt like the floor was still moving beneath her feet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pietro bit his lip, looking more then a little amused. "Sorry love," he apologized with a wide grin, retrieving his coat and shrugging it on before offering her his arm. "'Kay, come on, we'll do what ever you want now. We can even flirt with cute guards if you want." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wanda grinned and took his arm. "No, that's all right, you're just so much prettier than me, you'd completely ruin my chances." As they passed the trainer her smile faltered and she glowered at him. The trainer glanced away and tried to ignore them. Wanda tried to banish her unhappy thoughts as they stepped into the hall and put on another smile for Pietro. (Reply to this) (Parent)
