Chapter Sixteen
Not long, but I'll have another update up within a couple days

Wanda ran into the room. Pietro's face lit up, and she barreled over to his bed, giving him a hug.
Pietro smiled at her. "Hey, Sis."
"Hey, Pietro." She sat up and slapped him.
"Ow! What was that for?!"
"For dying on me, you idiot! Your heart stopped, they told me you were dead!"
"Well, Wandie, I'm not. It's ok, I'm sorry."
"You better be!" She hugged him again.
Steve and Bucky stood off to the side, watching. Pietro noticed them. He briefly looked confused before the corner of his mouth twitched. "You guys must be Steve and Bucky."
"Yep," Steve said.
"You've been taking good care of my little sister while I've been gone?"
"It's twelve minutes, Pietro. It doesn't count," Wanda whined.
"Oh, but it very much does count. Now, as for you two, I'd like to chat, but I want some alone time to catch up with Wanda."
"Of course. We'll go grab some dinner."
Pietro nodded. He and Wanda watched as Steve and Bucky left. When they were gone, Pietro started his questions. "Anything major happen to you while I was out?"
"I got my period the day before yesterday!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Oh, yay, Sis! Any boys?"
"There is one," Wanda said, her enthusiasm dropping. Pietro was going to hate Peter. She was suddenly sure of it. Her gut churned. Pietro would slap her and tell her to break up with Peter. Which she would to make her brother happy.
"And?" Pietro asked.
"His name is Peter. He's really nice. He lives in our building."
"Ah, ok. How old is he?"
"Our age. I... have something to tell you, because you should know."
"Yes?"
Wanda decided to rip off the bandaid of truth. "Ummmm.... the building is owned by Tony Stark. And he lives in it. And Peter is his adopted son. He has two of them, Peter and Harley. Harley is away at university."
Pietro looked like the world just exploded before him. "Wanda, you're dating a Stark?!"
"He's not so bad, Pietro! He's really sweet and treats me better than any boyfriend I could've gotten here."
"Anything else you're want to tell me before my mind explodes?"
"I'm bisexual. I haven't told anyone yet."
"What?!"
Wanda nodded, frozen.
Pietro sighed, thoughts occupying his brain. He didn't answer her silent questions. Her heart raced as Steve and Bucky returned. They handed out the food.
"Doc said you can have this," Bucky told Pietro.
Pietro grinned as he took the large milkshake. "Thanks."
Wanda fiddled awkwardly with her fingers. She took her food from Bucky. She quietly thanked him.
"You good, Wands?" Steve questioned.
Wanda nodded.
Pietro glanced over at her. She was acting awkward, and he cringed as he realized that he had caused it. He didn't want her to feel bad. It was just a lot of information that he didn't know what to think of all at once.
A little while later, a nurse came in and said that visitation hours were over. Steve stayed behind as Pietro's guardian and Bucky took Wanda back to the hotel. As they got up to leave, Pietro grabbed Wanda's wrist. "Wands?"
"Yeah?" Wanda asked quietly.
"Turn around. I'm not going to bite you."
She turned to face her brother. "What is it, Pietro?"
He pulled her closer and kissed her forehead. "I love you. See you later."
Wanda smiled. "I love you, too. Bye."
Pietro wished Bucky farewell and off they went.
