Chapter 6

"Busy day?" Pietro asked from beside me.

I jumped and turned to him. I hadn't realised he was standing there.

"Busy life," I muttered. "Secretary Ross has been requesting this meeting for a week now. It's going to cause me a headache rearranging it. But at least I get the rest of the day off."

Pietro nodded and bit his lip. I could tell that he wanted to say something, so I waited a moment for him to work up the courage.

"Would you maybe want to watch a movie with us?" Pietro asked. "You know, since you have the rest of the day off?"

I cocked my head. I supposed that it was my time off and becoming friendlier with these people would most likely be beneficial.

"I'd like that," I said. "Let me just make a few calls cancelling meetings and things. I'll meet you back here in... twenty minutes."

Pietro nodded and grinned at me. I smiled back and went to my office to tell Secretary Ross and a few others that Tony wasn't available anymore. Secretary Ross was not impressed, but the other people I called understood that was just how Tony Stark worked.

Once I'd finished the calls, I sent Tony his schedule for the next day (something I knew he wouldn't look at) and made my way back to the common level. Pietro was waiting for me with a bowl of popcorn in his hands.

"Wanda and Vision went to the theatre room already," Pietro said. "Let's go."

I bit my lip and stayed still. Pietro turned around and cocked his head at me when he realised I hadn't started following him.

"What's wrong?" he asked, looking at me concernedly.

"I – um... I don't have clearance for that floor," I said. "And... wouldn't it be a bit unprofessional?"

Pietro chuckled.

"Cold feet, huh?" he asked. "You aren't working anymore, so you're in the tower as our friend, not an employee."

I considered it for a moment before nodding. That wouldn't be considered inappropriate, right?

Pietro led me to the elevator, stealing some of the popcorn out of the bowl in his hands. He offered me some and I took a small handful, feeling slightly awkward for some reason.

"So... what's your favourite colour?" Pietro asked, leaning against the elevator wall.

I chuckled.

"What's funny?" he asked.

"Nothing," I said. "Just... you're asking me what my favourite colour is."

"Hey! It's a good get-to-know-you question!" he said defensively.

I chuckled and shook my head.

"F/c," I said. "You?"

"Blue," he replied. "Like the sky."

We continued with the get-to-know-you questions all the way to the theatre. When I walked in, Wanda gave me a smile and a wave. I waved back.

"Hello, Miss L/n," Vision said politely.

"You can just call me Y/n," I said.

Vision smiled and nodded.

"So, what are we going to watch?" Wanda asked.

A few suggestions were thrown around, and Pietro began looking through Netflix, while Wanda and I looked through the DVDs. I was surprised they had so many, seeing as the tower was so tech savvy.

"Hey, look, it's Pietro," Wanda said, showing me the Sonic movie.

I laughed and Wanda began laughing too. Every time I looked at Wanda or the picture of Sonic, I began laughing harder. Wanda did too, and I saw tears in her eyes as she tried to catch her breath.

"What's so funny?" Pietro asked.

Wanda held up the DVD and took deep breaths trying to calm her laughing. Her trying not to laugh made me laugh even harder.

"It's... you!" Wanda wheezed through laughs.

Pietro rolled his eyes.

"Ha, ha, very funny," he said sarcastically.

Once Wanda and I were able to calm down (and after Pietro convinced us not to put Sonic on) we started looking through movies again.

"What about f/m?" Pietro suggested.

"F/m?" I asked excitedly. "I love that movie!"

"Then it's decided," Pietro said.

We all sat down on the big couches and started watching the movie. I sat next to Pietro on the edge of the couch. I watched the movie play, feeling excitement fill my chest at my favourite parts.

At one point the popcorn ran out, so Wanda used her magic to open the snack bar and get us all something without getting up. Pietro and I shared a bag of (favourite/snack), and at one point we both went to grab something, and our hands touched. I pulled away quickly and stared at the tv.

Once the movie was done, I stretched and heard a few pops and cracks.

"Well, this was fun," I said, "but I think I should be getting home now. Thank you for having me."

"No problem, Y/n," Wanda said. "It was fun having you here."

"Yeah, it was great," Pietro agreed.

I smiled and waved at them all as I left. I'd honestly had a really great time with them all.
