Comments

— injury

[explosion]

You need to stop, Pietro.

[ wanda reaches out to grab his bicep in an effort to pull him to a stop. even though pietro's not running, his long legs and powerful stride is enough to prompt her to jog to try and keep pace. he's always been fast, even before he had powers.

after a protest gone wrong (when do they ever go right?), pietro had swooped in to try and prevent as much trampling as possible. wanda had remained reluctantly on the sidelines, doing her best to try and calm the sea of frightened and angry people. their panicked thoughts still linger in her head. all she'd wanted to do was help them, not hurt them, but she's sure she managed to do one more than the other.

her nerves are frayed, but focusing on pietro has always been grounding, even when he's being stubborn as hell. ]

You're bleeding. You're ruining your shirt.

[ the shirt she picked specifically for him. though, wanda doesn't care about that more so than she cares about the fact that her brother is injured, even if it's just a shallow deep scratch that'll heal up in no time.

he's injured and she doesn't like that, and so it has to be fixed. ]

[gola]

[His first instinct is to pull away, continue back into what's left of the crowd and completely ignore injuries so minor, fueled by both adrenaline and the impulse to help wherever he can after the admittedly predictable mess this turned into. It's hard to go against that immediate flare up of annoyance, but Pietro stops at her hand on his arm and the concern in her voice. Wanda's always more cautious and anxious, sometimes to the point where he gets exasperated at her tendency to hang back or shut down, or to shift focus to things that don't matter. Like this, the wound that Pietro only gives a brief glance to.]

It's fine. It doesn't hurt.

[It does, but he won't say so. Trying to sound anything but some degree of irritated right now is impossible, but his glare is too soft and his dismissal carries a hint of petulant grousing in it.]

Worry about it later.

[explosion]

We worry about it now.

[ she's grateful he doesn't tug his arm away. she knows in the instances that he does that it's never personal. pietro always looks out for others and never himself, but she supposes that's why she's here. she may be slow—famously twelve minutes late—but where pietro storms through things like thunder, she likes to consider herself more of a gentle breeze. ]

What if it gets so bad it falls off, hm?

[ she lifts her brows then. it's silly, she knows. if it was going to fall off, wanda had an inkling she would know about it.

but she's always loved her stories, and creating one to try and gently bully pietro has never been above her. ]

[gola]

[A pointed sigh is all Pietro has for a protest, to outright deny her what she wants is rare and he's not doing it this time either. Even if Wanda's chiding is with ridiculous exaggeration of outcomes, which he indulges her in anyway in a slightly mocking tone.]

It's not going to fall off. Maybe infected at worst.

[He pokes idly at the edge of the laceration, where what he considers a fairly insignificant amount a blood still seeps through the fabric of his shirt.]

[explosion]

[ she pokes him hard in the arm. ] That is not any better!

[ taking that as his an invitation to manhandle him, she grabs his hand and threads their fingers tightly together and pulls him off the main sidewalk and across the road. while sokovia's landscape may change hourly, she knows the best routes home—and the best routes to the convenience store that, surprisingly, still stands tall. she'll fix this so his arm doesn't fall off or get infected! ]

We cannot let that happen. [ wanda huffs on purpose, liking that pietro is in a good enough mood to play along. ] If we do, you will become even more insufferable. [ and we can't have that, not at all! ]

[gola]

[His fingers entwine with hers easily, though he doesn't hold on as tightly as she does, looking back for a moment at the scene they leave behind. There's not much left he can do, he has to tell himself, with most people dispersing in the aftermath now and only one smouldering fire remaining half-way down the street. Loud voices here and there, but mostly arguments or people regrouping. Nothing Pietro feels he needs to interfere with. He has no qualms about allowing Wanda to lead him through familiar alleys, some with new piles of debris or cracks in the pavement, the ground having shifted by one explosion or another since the last time they'd gone to the convenience store. He tugs lightly on her hand, only to get her to look at him while he raises an eyebrow and waves his free hand pointedly.]

You are the insufferable one, you know this.

[And with that, he steps ahead, knowing where she was heading and now pulling her along like it was his idea.]

[explosion]

[ says the insufferable one!

it's a good thing he steps ahead of her; wanda doesn't want him to see her smile. keeping her grip tight on his—she doesn't want to lose him, even in an empty alleyway; there's always a risk that he can be gone in an instant like mama and papa—she follows him and purposefully steps on his heels when she can.

she does her best to ignore the noises and shouts and the quiet that interweaves amongst all the noise. it's easier if she focuses solely on pietro. despite the chaos around them, pietro has always been the calm for her. ]

If I am insufferable, you are exasperating. That is much worse.

[gola]

It means the same thing.

[Not entirely, but close enough to point it out simply to argue. The next time Wanda deliberately steps on his heel, Pietro lets out an irritated noise and attempts a disgruntled look, but it's without true anger.]

Stop. You know, you're not proving your point with that.

[A distant bang and rumbling sounds somewhere as they emerge from a narrower path between structurally unstable buildings, the convenience store ahead across the near-deserted street. It stands with minimal damage, one broken and shoddily repaired window and neon signs flickering on and off. The door sticks as he pulls it open and won't fully close behind them, but it's functional enough. Everything inside is bathed in a sickly yellowish hue and the hum of the coolers and overhead lights drone loudly, gone without maintenance for some time. Pietro nods to the old man behind the counter, the owner operating the place mostly by himself now and it shows in the general dinginess.]

[explosion]

[ wanda reluctantly lets pietro's hand go as she sidesteps him and skips toward where the bandaids and bandages are. the convenience store is hardly as well stocked as it used to be—or what she used to imagine it to be—but it's enough. it's still standing; that's enough.

standing before the medicine shelf, she taps her fingers against her chin as she stands on the tips of her toes and eyes all of what's on offer. the bandages are all right, but she wants the ones that are longer and thinner. and she wants the gauze, too. and the ointment…

she begins to collect her items as though pietro is bleeding profusely. even though it's a shallow graze, it's still enough to freak her out. she wants to be prepared. any leftovers can be used for any other gashes and wounds, whether they're his or hers or someone else's. ]

We need to get water, too.

[gola]

[Watching her stockpile everything like this might actually be some emergency makes Pietro roll his eyes while she can't see it, but there's a quirk of a smile on his lips too.]

I'll get it.

[He could take a different aisle to the back of the store for the water, but he crosses behind Wanda, pausing to lay his hand on her shoulder, lingering momentarily.]

It's gonna be okay, Wanda.

[He speaks more quietly than usual, level and calm. A calm he doesn't feel as much as he projects for her sake, a false reassurance that everything isn't going to shit, that it hasn't been that way for years already. But if he ever starts to outwardly worry as much as she does, they're hopeless no matter what advantages they'd been given. Pietro continues to the back to grab a few large bottles of water, calling out loudly as he walks away to draw the old man's attention to Wanda's nervous supply gathering and make it awkward.]

Stop catastrophizing! You always do this.

[explosion]

[ gritting her teeth, she glares at pietro. if her eyes could shoot lasers, he'd already have been blasted into smithereens a long time ago. (she's glad she can't shoot lasers from her eyes.)

ignoring him, she continues to stockpile. catastrophising is what she does best! pietro shrugs too much off. he barely lets anything settle on his shoulders, but wanda… wanda wants to make sure that if they're ever stuck beneath a bed for several days that they're prepared this time. this is how second seasons unravel; they learn from the first, especially the finale of the first season.

loudly: ] Hurry up. You are bleeding everywhere.

[ she scrunches up her face as if to say 'take that!' but wanda truly doesn't want pietro to be bleeding at all. she'd much rather he wasn't bleeding but was covered in soot or dirt or just the grime of the day.

once satisfied with her little mismatched first aid kit she's created, she wanders into a different aisle to look at the make-up. some of the girls might like this, even though make-up won't put food in their bellies or save them from the next day. it makes them feel good; wanda likes being around that energy.

at least she's not catastrophising. ]

[gola]

[He snorts at being told to hurry, and considers deliberately taking his time, but that would irritate him more than her. And it may not be everywhere, but he is still bleeding, and maybe that's been going on for too long at this point. Pietro gets what he needs from the back and finds Wanda by the makeup.]

Are you ready?

[He hovers impatiently, like he'd been waiting for her the entire time. A distraction, so he can quickly pilfer a couple of things from the makeup display that Wanda wouldn't spend money on and the shove them in his pocket without notice. Minor thievery, it's fine.]

[explosion]

[ wanda considers to take her time to frustrate him, but there are plenty of ways to frustrate pietro. she can hover, she can scold him, and she can walk on his heels as they leave the convenience store. while she doesn't mind being here, she wants to leave and get him a new shirt.

she nods and holds all the medical supplies she's gathered close to her chest. ]

I don't think I'm missing anything.

[ if anything, it's almost like she's buying that entire section of the store. perhaps it's overkill, but wanda can never know what anyone will need when an injury shows itself. she never does anything half-assed when pietro's the one sporting an injury, even if it's merely a scrape. ]

Did you want food? You must be starving.

[ or will be soon, surely. ]

[gola]

You can't miss anything when you take everything.

[Brushing past Wanda, Pietro does detour a bit from the counter to look through available food, bypassing the packaged junk foods and typical convenience store fair for the bottom shelf with more stock items, generic bags of rice and pasta, filling and practical. The cans of vegetables leave much to be desired, but he grabs a couple of those too while they're here.]

We'll make something when we get home.

[He could eat half of the items on the snack shelf right now, but he doesn't acknowledge that general increase in frequency of hunger, though he's certain Wanda keeps tabs on it. Invading his thoughts randomly for more things to worry about. Pietro heads for the counter before there's any more commentary - they've been in this store forever at this point.]

Let's go, come on.

[explosion]

But—

[ she doesn't even know what her retort will be. it's not that wanda wants to particularly stay and linger. she wants to go home. she wants to look at pietro. but she can't help but wonder if she's forgotten something they'll need.

wanda begrudgingly follows pietro to the counter and drops her medicine and makeup supplies onto it.

her pockets had been empty before, but when she rummages through the ones in her jacket, she finds coins and notes. she drops them noisily onto the counter. ]

I think I am short. [ she shoves her hands back into her pockets to try and see if a coin or two hides away in the very corners, but she's already surveying her little haul for what she should get rid of. the lipstick she got solely for herself can go; she sides that away from the pile. ]

[gola]

Here.

[Pietro doesn't generally keep much money in his pockets, especially coins with their tendency to fall out, and he loses track of it all easily. What he sets on the counter wasn't in his possession this morning, who he took it from and when is unknown, but it covers the rest of what Wanda's set on the counter, as well as the items he'd picked up himself.]

Forgot I had that.

[He shrugs at Wanda as if it was a fortuitous discovery and not obvious theft.]

[explosion]

Pietro…

[ wanda shakes her head. she much prefers it when pietro spends what little money he has on himself rather than her. no matter where he happens to get his money, she wants him to spend it on the things he likes. new shoes, a new jacket… ]

Thanks. [ she smiles to herself as she slides the money over toward the owner. she taps her fingers against the counter impatiently as the man behind the counter rings up their items and packs them in a brown paper bag.

glancing to the side, she grabs a brown cap and plants it on pietro's head. ] I think you should get this, too. Hide your ugly face.

[gola]

[He makes a disgruntled noise, but only adjusts the cap instead of tossing it aside, an added frivolous purchase. Giving the man an exasperated look, he waves at Wanda dramatically.]

You see what I have to deal with!? Take her off my hands, will you?

[Pietro doesn't mean a word of it though, already reaching for Wanda's hand as he takes the bag and leads her out of the store before she can make another retort.]

[explosion]

[ she doesn't bother fighting him, letting him pull her out of the store. she takes this as her opportunity to thread their fingers together and ensure that her grip is tight enough not to lose him.

she laughs, ] That hat would have looked good on you.

[ granted, it would've smushed down his hair and hidden half his face. perhaps that wouldn't bode well for all the girls nor wanda when she needs to find him in a throng of people.

but she likes being a pest, especially when there are heavy pops in the far distance. she tries to take that brown bag from his hands. ]

Why do you not let me have any fun?

[gola]

I'd lose it.

[Go flying off somewhere in his wake. This time his grip is tighter on her hand, giving her fingers a brief squeeze when muted gunfire erupts somewhere. He lets her carry the bag, knowing she'll keep trying to take it if he doesn't.]

I don't let you have fun?

[He says it jokingly, but he does start to wonder if he's inadvertently pushing her into things and keeping the somewhat bleak reality of it all at the forefront when Wanda leans so much towards escapism.]

[explosion]

No.

[ she scrunches up her nose and shakes her head. of course not. pietro never lets her have any fun, like stepping on his heels or ruffling his hair or making him watch the same episode over and over for a week. wanda's needs are simple. she likes her stories; while pietro very much lives in the here and now, he oftentimes lets her drag him into worlds where things are better and free and aren't broken by bombs.

she squeezes his hand, though, wishing to silently smack any uncertainties he has away. ]

I will have more fun when I know you will not lose your arm.

[ wanda catastrophising maximoff. ]

[gola]

[Pietro might have had a less bitchy comment ready for that somehow reassuring nose scrunching dispelling his momentary concerns... but then she's back on the injury exaggeration and he has had it. It's not entirely her fault, but that spike of irritation that bubbles up is his breaking point.]

That's it. We're done here.

[He's not listening to this for another few blocks. He's just grabbing her and running home in a matter of seconds, dropping her (gently) once they're inside the apartment and the door slams behind him.]

[explosion]

Pietro!

[ she smacks his uninjured arm somewhat weakly. a little breathless from his run (even though he did all the hard work while she'd gripped the back of his shirt tightly), wanda cards her hand through her slightly tangled hair and makes herself stop gripping the paper bag so tightly. the paper's now crinkled beyond repair. ]

You are such a brat!

[ but they're home now, and wanda's grateful that they're inside of these four familiar walls rather than out in the open where it's difficult to think of anything but how broken sokovia has become. she misses the streets that had appeared unaffected, as though they had been protected by some magical bubble.

she walks to the little table in the middle of the apartment and unpacks the brown paper bag.

without looking up at him, she orders, ] Sit.

[gola]

You wanted to go home, we are home.

[It's a casual dismissal of his behaviour as Pietro removes his shirt, not at all carefully and aggravating the wound that had started to heal. He flings it to the worn and sunken couch, and pulls out a chair at the table, leaning on his elbow and looking at the cut on his arm.]

See? It's fine. Almost stopped bleeding.

[Which it should have already if he'd been any degree of careful with it and not ignored it completely.]

[explosion]

[ wanda looks at him unimpressed before surveying his arm again. she makes as though she's going to touch him, but she lets her hands hover before she pulls back. pushing her chair out, she's quick to move to the kitchen to find a pair of scissors. ]

Stop moving it, Pietro.

[ knowing him, he'll keep flexing his arm and make it bleed all over again just to be difficult.
