《Claws of Metal | Pietro Maximoff》C h a p t e r 14:

The team all sat in the living room, lying around, having nothing to do what-so-ever.
"Ugggghhhh, I'm bored!" Whined Pietro, as everyone was sprawled on either the couches or on the floor.
I was sitting upside down on the couch, playing with my claws while humming the 's. "H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P-"
"SHUT UP MORGANA!" Exclaimed Tony, as he was slighty drunk. "No one wants to hear you sing! You suck!"
"Is that right Tony? How about I kick your ass in a karaoke competition, right here right now!" I yelled, getting up from my spot and walking towards him.
Natasha immediately shot up from her spot on the ground and held Tony back as he advanced my way. Meanwhile Pietro ran in front of me, as Steve grabbed my wrist from behind.
"Calm down kid, why don't we do something else?" Offered Steve.
"Yah why don't we have game night?" Natasha asked.
"I don't know what Game Night is Lady Natasha, do teach me." Replied The God of Lightning.
"Oh no."
"Oh yes."
****
"Hey, no fair!" Cried Wanda as Tony kept skipping her turn in Uno. This is why people leave Tony out of game night, and ignore him when he bugs.
"Didn't I already win?" Pietro asked, as he looked around confused.
"No kiddo, I won." Tony snickered.
"Like my other mother would say, 'Si no va a jugar bien, entonces no juege en absoluto'. So, let me translate that into simpler words that pea-sized brains like you can understand, Stark. STOP CHEATING." I glared at Tony, as he just smirked at me. (If you aren't going to play right, then don't play at all.)
"Why don't we do something tomorrow, like as a team?" asked Steve.
"Sorry, I'm booked." I informed them, only to get some crazy looks.
"I'm sorry what?" asked Tony.
"I have a date tomorrow."
"With who?!" exclaimed Pietro, wide-eyed. And from there, the whole room erupted.
"You actually have a date? Hahahaha! Don't mess with us Morgana." That little weasel, Stark, started laughing at me.
"You are courting someone Lady Morgana? I am impressed." commented Thor.
"Calm down, geez! I'm going with a guy, Jason." I answered.
"So where'd you meet the lucky fella? Huh?" asked Tony, smirking.
"When I was jogging one day." I replied.
"You've got to be kidding me Morg, jogging my ass! Cap went jogging and met Sam, but you don't see them going on a date any time soon!" Natasha exasperatedly butted in.
"Natasha!" Steve whined.
"Well, it's the truth. And I'm not gonna lie, I'm still waiting for that day to occur." Mom smirked.
"I hate you." Rogers muttered.
"The feelings mutual buddy."
"Damn, it sure seems like you all are surprised someone actually asked me on a date. That's kinda messed up man."

"Where are you going?" asked Pietro.
"Now why would you want to know that, Speedy?" Tony asked Pietro, who looked down embarrassed.
"Well, I'm not sure yet. But Jason said he'd text me later."
"Unlike everyone else, I'm happy for you Morgana." replied Wanda, as she smiled at me. I smiled back, but not before seeing her send Pietro a look.
"Thank you Wanda."
"So no bowling tomorrow?"
"No bowling tomorrow guys."
"I quit!" Said Clint as he put down his deck of Uno cards on the table. "Let's play something else."
"Like what?" Asked Steve.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm going to sleep." I yawned.
"Good night Little Miss Date." Murmured Tony. The rest of the team said good night and I walked towards the elevator.
"Hey Mishka, I'll valk you to your room." I turned to see Pietro jogging to my side.
"You don't have to but thank you." I replied. The elevator doors opened and we stepped inside.
"Look I don't think you should go on that date." He said suddenly.
"What? Why not?" I was surprised at this.
"I mean do you even know the guy? Vhat if he is a serial killer or something?"
"Why would you even say that, of course he's not a serial killer!" I half yelled.
"I just don't think this is a good idea." Pietro mumbled.
"Why are you acting so protective all of the sudden? I'm going on that date whether you like it or not Pietro." I was so confused at his sudden change of behaviour.
"You mean alot to me Morgana and it vould crush me if he broke your heart." Pietro held one of my hands and looked me dead in the eye.
I felt my breath hitch in my throat. "Don't worry about me Pietro, I can get by on my own."
"Just please be careful, okay?"
"Yes father." That night, I didn't really get much sleep due to hearing Pietro's words over and over in my head.
The next morning, I woke up and immediately hit the gym in the tower.
Why does he care so much, I asked myself as I punched a bag.
"Because he doesn't vant to see you get hurt." I jumped at the voice and turned around to see Wanda. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"It's fine, how long have you been standing there?" I asked her.
"Long enough. Morgana I understand my brother can be, how do I say this, a bit of a nuisance. But that does not mean that he does not care about you. I've seen the vay he looks at you sometimes, and I'm getting some kind of message." The female Maximoff said. "Do not give him hope where there is none."

I sighed and looked down at the ground. "I won't, I promise you that Wanda."
"Good because I will not hesitate to make you suffer with your nightmares again." She joked around, while I on the other hand was terrified.
"Morg! What are you wearing for the date?" We both turned to see Natasha enter the room at top speed.
"I actually don't know yet Ma." I scratched the back of my head.
"Well what are you doing here?! Go take a shower and meet me in my room along with Wanda. We'll fix you right up, won't we?" Widow said.
"Da, I vill see you later then Morgana."
"Okay." I hurridly made my way to my bedroom and took a long cold shower. When I finished drying my hair, I went to Nat's room.
"Can I come in?" I asked after knocking.
"Get your little ass in here child, we've been waiting for you." Natasha yelled from inside, to which I rolled my eyes.
"We got a couple of dresses for you." Wanda replied from a chair. Natasha just looked as if she was excited to go on her date.
"I could just wear a skirt and a blouse guys." Honestly I really hate dressing up, but knowing that Natasha's behind all this, I just kept my big mouth shut.
So, I unwillingly waited for hours as my makeup, hair and nails were done. Around five, they had finished.
"You look amazing hun, I just hope everything goes out wonderful!" Mom widely smiled. I looked in the mirror and smoothed out my dress.
Knock, Knock
"Hey Morgana, your Prince Charming is here." Clint said from the other side of the door.
"You told your date you live here?!" Exclaimed Nat.
"No you dummy, I told him my mom knows a lady who does hair and makeup and works for Stark Tower." I explained to them. "Hell would probably break loose if he found out I was an Avenger."
"Oh Phew! I actually thought you made things complicated for yourself. Anyways, Shoo Shoo or else he'll leave."
"Thank you Wanda, thank you mom for everything. I'll see you all later." I went downstairs to see Tony making small talk with Jason.
"Hey Jason." I quietly greeted.
"Hey Morgana, you look lovely. Are you ready?"
"Thank you and yes I am." I replied smiling.
"Have fun you two, just not too much." Tony smirked at me on the last part. I glared and cleared my throat.
"Bye Tony." Jason and I went out onto the street and walked. "How far is the place?"
"About seven minutes, I decided we could just walk since it's a nice evening." I nodded and hugged my cardigan closer.
After a while, we made it to a small restaurant and went in.
"Hi I have a reservation for two under the name Jason." Morgana's date replied as one of the waiters had their back to them.
They turned only to reveal two familiar blue eyes. And they belonged to the one and only Sokovian Speedster-
"Pietro, what are doing here?" The female Avenger surprisingly asked as her teammate was standing right in front of the two, innocently smiling.
"You know him?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, he's a good friend of mine." Morgana angrily muttered through clenched teeth.
"Let me show you to your table, shall we?" Pietro grabbed menu's and led the two to their table.
"Thank you." De La Cruz said as her date pulled out her chair for her. He then sat down in his own chair.
"I'll be back to get your order of drinks." Pietro's gaze slightly rested on Morgana before turning and leaving.
"So how are you so far Morgana?"
"I'm good how are you?"
"Great. Thank you for coming tonight." Jason grabbed Morgana's hand that rested on the table and brought her knuckles to his lips, kissing them.
Morgana blushed and looked down, as the contact was very new to her. Suddenly a clang was heard and gasps filled the air.
She immediately looked up to see her date's head dripping with water. Behind him, Pietro sheepishly looked at them and had a fake guilty look.
"I am so sorry Sr!"
"Look what you did you idiot! You ruined my suit!" Jason yelled at Pietro.
"Let me go get towels." Morgana said with wide eyes as she quickly got up from her seat and headed for the bathroom.
"Morgana I am sorry for that." The female turned around and saw Pietro running after her.
"Just go home Pietro, you crossed the line. Big Time." She growled at him. "Why would you even DO that?!"
"I'm sorry..."
"Tell that to Jason."
Back at the Stark Tower, the rest of the team waited patiently for the little one to come back from her date. It has been two hours since she left, and they imagined that she was having fun.
But boy, were they wrong. Not even five minutes later they heard the elevator doors open to reveal a puffy red-faced Morgana.
"Hey kid, how was your-" The group all looked up from their deck of cards and were immediately alarmed.
Morgana simlpy stared at them, shook her head furiously, and continued walking.
"Why the hell was my daughter crying?!" Demanded Natasha, as she got up and looked at the rest.
"I don't know Nat, I don't know." Steve answered.
But, the other female Avenger in the room knew that something had badly occured that evening. She had a suspicion of whether or not her brother was involved, barely noticing his disappearance.
