There was someone screaming in the distance. Pietro wasn't even in costume but he couldn't ignore something like that. He'd been out for a walk to try and curb some of the restlessness. This world was different. According to everyone he loved, he wasn't a good person and that didn't sit well with him at all.

Instead of sit around and brooding the day away, he'd gone out for a walk. He'd intended to clear his head. Instead, it seemed from the intensity of the screams, he would be able to help someone out. It almost put a smile on his lips. Pietro ran toward the voice and the closer he got to it, the more screams he heard. He took a corner smoothly and flattened himself against a wall to check out the scenario before actually jumping into action. Haste made waste after all.

He really did smirk when he saw the villain, a man dressed in a sky blue jumpsuit. Strapped to his back was a large and hulking machine. The guy, who was shouting orders at men who stood before an armored truck, turned to the audience and called himself Mr. Chill. The guy didn't have powers, as far as Pietro could tell. His only weapon was the thing on his back, a machine that shot out large and pointy icicles. Mr. Chill shot a warning, sending one through a car door.

Pietro rolled his eyes. How original.

There was a howl from a woman as Chill pointed his gun at civilians. It seemed he wanted money and he was going to hurt innocent people until he got it. That wouldn't do. Pietro stepped forward and held his arms out and concentrated. As Chill pulled a trigger, Pietro felt the energy course through his system. Instead of a chunk of ice, snow shot out of his machine.

"No one panic. This guy's done for today," Pietro shouted at the group of people on the street. The bad wasn't done for just yet, but Pietro was confident he had this situation under control.

Billy had been teasing Crazy Luna over her phone when she heard the screams. It was still strange thinking of herself with a feminine pronoun, but ever since the whole Pepsi shenanigans had fucked up her superpowers, that's what was appropriate.

Hmm. She was a bitch. Luna was probably to blame for that.

Billy ran towards the source of the shouting and stopped when he saw what was probably not Mister Freeze attacking people, but he sure did look like it. One thing to do about that. Billy jumped into an alleyway and shouted "Shazam!"

Captain Marvel flew towards the disturbance. She figured out who was the biggest threat (guy with the freezy gun) pretty quickly, but it looked like someone was messing with him. Then she focused on the mooks, who were waving around regular guns that seemed to have been painted blue and white. "You all have to fit to a theme, don't you?" she snarked as she picked them up and tied them to a flagpole. "God Save the Queen."

Chill wouldn't go down without a fight. He continued to fire on the crowd and Pietro continued to harness his powers. The crowd closest to the villain became covered in snow. A young kid in the group giggled and played, packing some into a snowball and tossing it at Chill. Pietro grinned and approached the hostile. "Step down," he commanded. When he didn't listen, instead choosing to try and fight Pietro hand-to-hand, Pietro twisted the guy's arm around and held him. With the pack on his back, Chill was slow. "Fine," Pietro said to him, "Have it your way." This was a breeze.

There were no handcuffs. Pietro had to make due with whatever was around, removing Chill's weapon and jacket and focusing enough on it to turn it into a nice rope. He tied Chill up and then turned to the woman nearest him, "Y'okay, civilian?" She nodded, brows raised.

Pietro then caught movement out of his eye. It seemed there were more thugs. And someone was handling them. Pietro approached, "Need a hand, Miss?"

"I've got it. And it's Captain Marvel." She took the guns and crumbled them into small steel balls, pressing each of them into the mouths of the criminals. "Hold these." She then floated back down to the ground. "Thanks for the offer anyw--Mr. Maximoff?" Something was very clearly wrong. Even aside from the stupid haircut. He wasn't trying to kill her.

She should have just flown away right then, but with Luna being crazy, it probably made sense that her dad would be crazy too. "You... you don't remember me, do you?"

It was starting to get a little unnerving, how people he'd never heard of knew him or how people Pietro knew acted different. Pietro took a half minute to search his brain for a Captain Marvel, but the name didn't really ring any bells. "No," he responded, "Do I know you?"

People were standing around, either curious or restless. Pietro was good at crowd control. "No one worry," Pietro addressed the people loudly, "the authorities are on the way." That put a few at ease, but didn't really break up the crowd.

"Your daughter does. We're... it's a long story." Pietro Maximoff was good people. It was a strange and disturbing feeling, having that knowledge in her head. "It starts with me being younger than I look and it goes from there."

When Pietro tried to calm the civilians down, Captain Marvel got an idea. She flew down the road, looking for a police car. London roads being a cruel trick played by bitter engineers, this took some time. Eventually she found one and flew alongside it. Then she knocked on the window.

"...Yes?"

"Hi. If you don't mind terribly, I'm going to take you over to a defeated supervillain and his goon squad, okay?" Without waiting for approval, she picked the car up and carried it back to the fallen villains. "Make room!" she yelled when the civilians didn't take the hint that they should move from underneath cars.

Pietro raised a brow, about to ask how this woman knew his daughter when she flew off. That was a bit rude. He watched her go and almost shrugged to himself. Ah well. He'd wait until he heard sirens before taking off himself.

That didn't take quite as long as Pietro imagined. He saw the car flying toward the scene. It wasn't the strangest thing he'd ever seen by a long shot, so he didn't really react much. And then he noticed Captain Marvel setting the cruiser down. "That's one way to do it," Pietro commented mildly.

"It's a big town, and sometimes 'Guy with a big freezy gun' doesn't get as much attention as 'Guy with the dark skin at the curry place short-changed me.'" She'd developed the solution after being late to a date with Luna--again--after waiting twenty minutes for a damn car to get there.

"'ere, you soiled the flag!"

"Next time you can stop the supervillains, and we'll badmouth the curry guy." She sighed and returned her attention to Pietro. "So I was going to break this gently, but odds are you won't remember this in a week. I'm dating your daughter. Or I was, back before she was crazy Inhuman Princess Luna of Luna."

Pietro raised a brow. Luna being a lesbian didn't quite unsettle him, but it was surprising. He glanced at Marvel with a more critical eye now. "So what was that about you being younger than you look?"

They probably needed to get out of there. Pietro wasn't sure how they treated vigilantism in this world. Cops weren't much of a problem when he could undo locks with a surge of power, but he didn't want to get on the bad side of the law. He started to walk, eye on Marvel and flicking back to the police who were handling the thugs.

"It's a superpower... thing. I'll show you in a--well, here." Feeling very odd doing it, Captain Marvel picked up Pietro and flew him up to the top of a nearby building. After making sure that there was no one watching, she stepped back. "SHAZAM!" she shouted to the sky. A bolt of lightning followed, and Billy Batson stepped out of the smoke.

Billy shrugged. "I'm really seventeen. It's magic. I'm not a mutant, which I think always bothered you. I mean, aside from Luna dating anyone, she dated the wrong species." There was a scream in the distance. "And that's probably something we should go deal with. SHAZAM!" Captain Marvel took Pietro's hand and took a running leap off the top of the building.

"Huh." Pietro said, looking a teenage girl over. He felt a little better that Luna was dating someone her age. He wasn't quite so sure Marvel's attitude was the best, but she was a superhero. That spoke for character, at least somewhat.

Before he could protest or say anything at all, Pietro felt himself being pulled. He was surprised by the sudden movement and did his best to land gracefully. Marvel would let him get hurt while jumping from building to building. That didn't mean Pietro couldn't try and maintain some dignity while being dragged. "I don't-" he spoke choppily, half out of breath while running with Marvel, "care whether you're a mutant or not."
