Pietro had ordered in take away since Wanda was coming home late that evening and she really deserved something better than his attempt at cooking. He’d just picked it up and was setting everything out when she walked in, “Welcome home” he called out, “I got chinese food”
Wanda had been out working hard on controlling her new powers. The lessons from Jean were truly working and Wanda already felt immeasurably better about the prospect of hurting people. If she carried on as she was, she hoped to be mastering telekinesis in no time. Entering their apartment, Wanda took in the scent of her favourite type of food; Chinese food. “Brother! How did you know this was exactly what I needed today?” she grinned, bounding up to him and putting her hands on his shoulders.
“Perhaps I am psychic too” he teased her knowing that wasn’t her gift at all but enjoying making her smile. “You have been working hard, lots of late practices as well as working, you need to take care of yourself” he told her, giving her a brief hug.
“Whatever would I do without you?” Wanda asked, returning the hug gratefully. “It has been a hard few days and I will be happy to have some time to relax. Do you want to watch a film tonight?” she asked, moving to pull some glasses out of the cupboard. “What would you like to drink?”
“I think I am the one who would struggle” he admitted with a smile, “A film would be good” he nodded, “I brought some new juice to try, raspberry and apple. It looked nice in the store I pass on the way home”
“Sounds delicious,” Wanda smiled and got the juice bottle from the fridge, reading the carton as she moved back to pour their glasses. “What would you like to watch? Action? Drama? Romance?”
Pietro wasn’t one to drink a lot of alcohol, they’d had wine with Doris back in the UK but neither of them drank regularly. They enjoyed juice much more. He grimaced at romance, “Action? Something fun I think”
“Action it is! What about one of the Bourne films? They are always enjoyable,” Wanda grinned as she moved to put the juice bottle back in the fridge. “Anyway, how was your day?”
“They are good and you get to stare at the cute guy too” he teased her, “It was good, not much different to usual. I want to hear more about your training with Jean”
“Mmm, yes I do, don’t I,” Wanda cocked her head and gazed into the distance as she responded with a dreamy sigh. “My training?” she repeated, picking up the glasses and giving a little shrug before moving to the dining table. “It sounds silly when I say it out loud. You will laugh at my progress,” she said with a smile.
“I will not” he denied, “I think any progress is good. Your ability requires a lot more focus than mine does and it is good there is someone who can help you. Did she tell you anything about her version of you?”
“Ok, well, my progress is...I can lift and set down an apple without just...dropping it or throwing it up in the air uncontrolled. It doesn't seem much but it is...encouraging,” she explained, a little bashfully. “She has not said much and I haven't wanted to push. It feels...odd asking about some other version of myself,” she shrugged and wrinkled her nose. “Apparently I was her roommate for some time at this school for gifted people. We also...had a sister in her world,” she told him.
“That is very good, it takes a lot to control things like that” he told her, Wanda was much more patient than he was. Perhaps it was linked to his power, but he’d have asked so many questions by now. “A sister? That is different”
“Yes, she is apparently called Lorna. Should I ask some more about her? Would you like to know more?” Wanda asked. She wasn’t sure quite how she felt about finding out more about a sister they didn’t remember or know. It felt almost morbid in a way, should they grieve?
“Perhaps” he said, he wasn’t sure how he felt about it either, after all there wasn’t the possibility they could have more siblings their parents had been killed when they were children - just like in the dreams. It was a strange position to be in, “Maybe it would be better to focus on your abilities for now?”
“Hmm, I thought that too,” Wanda agreed quietly with a little nod. “Concentrate on controlling my powers and then maybe look into other worlds and other versions of ourselves afterwards,” she smiled. “How are your powers? Do you think you’ve finished developing your super appetite?” she teased with a wink at him.
Pietro nodded, “Your powers are the most important thing. Other versions of ourselves can wait, they are not here” he grinned, “Mine are much simpler I think. Though my mind might be catching up, I can answer more questions on the television quizzes now” he was only partly joking there, “I would need to constantly eat if it got any bigger”
“That is true, I don’t think our wages could cope with a higher food bill,” Wanda joked as she returned to Pietro to see if she could do anything else. “Want me to do anything?” she asked, hands on the counter and bouncing on her toes. It smelt so good!
“They definitely would not” he grinned before saying, “Wanna pop the movie on and I'll bring this through?”
“I can do that,” Wanda grinned and all but skipped to put the dvd in. She was very much looking forward to a fun evening in with her brother.
