Peace and Quiet (Magneto)

Quicksilver had not expected the very man to come up and surprise him. If anything he would have thought it was Tony or even Steve, but no it had to be the one man that he had a strained relationship. But his relationship with his father was complicated, difficult and had been strained since he was an infant. He would have never understood why his mother ran away from Magneto until he was older, or maybe even spent more time with him. But still even the man that was supposed to be close to him felt different or even fogged most of the time. It was like he barely knew him. As the male voice came to his ears he nearly jumped off of the wall, half holding onto the iron bars that were on it and holding onto his food before it fell as well. Either way it was going to be a loss for him if he injured himself, of course he had his durability to thank for surviving most impacts that would have killed humans.

“What-what are you doing here? In New York? I suppose terrorizing humans? Yes that has to be the answer. Except I see no humans that look terrified. So it must be me then.” He said as his thoughts went everywhere once more thanks to his quick intellect. Some humans in fact probably couldn’t have kept up with it if they had not hung around Quicksilver long enough. He was sure though Wanda his sister was used to it. After all they had been together since they were infants, and were almost in separable.

“Well, if you want any updates or any information from me, no I don’t have anything. Now go away so I can eat in peace. I never exactly invited you to come with me.” Quicksilver said with heavy emphasis on the last few sentences. He had been serious about it. Pietro guessed that this was probably not going to be a very good meeting at some point along in the interaction. His past interactions with his father had never been good. Even with the Brotherhood disbanded, he was sure Magneto had come to him to get something out of him.

As he straightened himself out again before he had the chance to fall his back was turned to Magneto. It was clear he did not want anything from the master of magnetism at his side. For all he knew, some of the Avengers still would have had fear of his father and being so close to the team. He knew he could trust a few and even came to being close friends to them. Some of them he could certainly count on such as Tony, Steve and especially his sister.

Quicksilver sighed, he had thought this meeting was probably going to be a bad one but it seemed that Erik had only wanted to talk. And he was right about one thing it had been years since the two had spoken. He wasn’t even sure if Wanda had talked to their father at all. Though he was sure Wanda would have let him know if she did. After all he trusted her and he was sure she did the same to him. But then his thoughts went back to the days that he had already gone through. So much had happened, gaining a wife, losing a wife, then losing his powers and then regaining them. He wasn’t even sure if Magneto was interested in any of this, of his moping around that he had done for some time now. “I-I don’t know where to begin. Probably half of it you’re not even interested in it. Since you’ll be like ‘It’s your problem YOU should fix it.’” Pietro said not trying to mock his father this time but it was expected from the younger mutant.

“But as you do know, I’m with the Avengers for several years, now. And some of them don’t trust me to this day.” Quicksilver said as he looked back at a quick glance at his father. For some reason after nearly falling off of the wall he wasn’t exactly hungry anymore. Maybe it was because he had been startled so badly he didn’t want to think of anything else. Sighing, he realized that the food may have been a waste of time now that he lost his appetite. Though who knew? It might come back later.

“And now after that near fall I lost my appetite. Not even hungry anymore.” He muttered softly as he put the hamburger back in the back that he had bought it from and started to crumble up the paper so it wouldn’t fall out. He ignored the sounds that it made as it touched his hands; apparently the paper that the bag was made from was probably bio degradable so it could be sent back into the earth. Though Quicksilver had only noticed this by scanning the bag a bit fast with his vision. And sometimes it was a good thing to have a quick reaction to a lot of things, for the fall for instance. He would have had a rough landing, though he wondered…did his father have any thoughts of trying to catch him if he did fall. He might have done the same depending on what the situation was from his father…

Pietro seemed unsure at this point as he leaned against the bars that were up further back on the wall. Though he did let out a sigh as he thought about it what his father had said but he remembered how the Maximoffs had been the ones to help care for him and his sister for most of his life before even through starvation and hard times that had come across their Transanian village. In fact he wondered what became of them to this day. But being that they were a bit old his assumption had been that they were dead. “Well you can thank the Maximoffs for getting Wanda and myself this far.” He added. “Then of course Tony and Steve too from the Avengers.” He added as he thought about how much the two had helped them. If it wasn’t for Steve he wouldn’t have had the fighting ability that he had to day, he helped him ‘perfect it’ maybe was the best way to describe it? Being that he noticed how sloppy his punches had been at one point. And even on occasions he still spared with Steve when they had free time but it had been awhile.

“But I suppose I am feeling a bit more open on what to tell you…I had a wife at one point but we split up. It wasn’t exactly a happy marriage, and I think she deserved it in one way. Since those days, I’ve been single ever since.” Quicksilver said. He was still unsure of the other areas that he did not mention to his father, and they were obvious ones too, he had just been hiding them from other members of the Avengers, and even his father. Knowing that if they were exposed they would have gotten even more suspicious to what he had been up too. Thankfully of course the Terrigen Crystals had not been bothering him that much recently so he was sure he would be able to hide them.

He nodded in the response towards the comment of the Avengers. It had been a bit shaky at first as he thought about it through. In the beginning of their attempt to join the team only a few had trusted them. One was Steve and the other of course Tony. But other than that the only thing that the other members had in mind was that they were villains and would never change. And of course their father was Magneto, who even some mutants feared to this day. But there was nothing that he could do about that. Some people just can’t change their heritage.

“I’ve always wondered about mom. The only few things that Wanda and I know is that she came near where our home in Transania and then of course named us. Would she be happy or proud of us? ...Or even the opposite of how far we got today? Either way we’ll never know at this point.” Pietro said as he let out a long breath that almost sounded like a sigh. With the air that he released he managed to move one of his silver hairs that was fallen into his face and fixed it to where he would not have to move it with his hair. Of course it was always like that, messy as it was; he normally blamed his speed powers since the wind constantly buffeted it as it blew through his hair.

“But as for a wife or a girlfriend I don’t think I’d ask for another one. One was enough and I’m afraid if I do find another one it may fall into the same past as the previous one. I made so many mistakes I must have looked like an idiot to her.” He said as he put his head resting against his arms gently while they rested on his knees. He had gotten tired of nearly hanging off the side of the wall and had changed positions. He looked back at his father with his blue eyes showing some sympathy for him but that was really all. Still there was a heavy strain between the two for what they believed in.

"I'm sure she was. In some ways I think of Wanda almost like her for some reason. She had several attributes from her as far as I know. I've only seen a handful of pictures if even that." Quicksilver said with a soft nod as he looked back at his father as he spoke. If anything there was one true source that he could rely on and that was his father, for he knew his and Wanda's mother the best.

"You almost sound like a poet with that voice of yours father." Pietro said almost feeling his cheeks turning red at this point as he used his hood to cover it as he put it over his face. usually when he was not in the superhero position these days he wore more casual clothes. This one was a grey hoddie along with a Q on the front of it that was colored white. Obviously standing for his first letter in his codename Quicksilver. But still he wondered, was there anyone else out there for him? He hadn't found anyone at this rate and it had nearly been five years. And that was a long time.

"Well I was going to go take a 'slow' walk back to the Avenger's building. You can join me if you want." Pietro suggested. Of course with that came some caution. Many knew Magneto and feared him as well, but they had to understand that he had other family that weren't so harsh like he was when it came to ruling. So so far he would just have to hope that things would go smothly. And if anything, he would have had to get a yell or two from Tony for letting the accident happen.

"Well I guess I know Wanda the best then being that we're mostly together all the time." Pietro said with a soft shrug. Though he was a bit surprised with Magneto's answer, since when did he suddenly have a job or task to go outside of the United States. Pietro himself hadn't stepped out of the United States since Magneto forced them to join the Brotherhood. He wondered what his home land had been like, but knew if there were others out there that didn't trust mutants he may as well stay put.

He let out a soft sigh as he started to stand up on the brick wall but wasn't about to jump off of it, instead he had chosen to walk on it instead of the ground for some unknown reason. "Well have fun with it. And could you let us know when you get back? Well just to know that you made it in one piece, which I'm sure is an obvious yes." Quicksilver said. Not even realizing that his speed talking was up again. It was such a habit that he didn't really care what the others thought most of the time.
