"Can I talk to you about something?" I ask Peter as he lays at the foot of my bed.
We just took a break from packing up my stuff, boxes are stacked around the room.
"You can talk to me about anything." He sits up and shuffles closer to me.
"For this assignment, I'm gonna have to do some stuff."
His eyes narrow at me. "What kind of stuff?"
"Well, I need to get answers...so I have to use my girl charm."
"You're gonna seduce him?"
"Yes. And then go through his mind while he's distracted."
"Oh."
"I wanted to give you a heads up incase it gets around that I'm a whore."
"I—okay then. I mean you're not."
"Thanks, Pete."
He just smiles a little and leans in, pressing a quick kiss to my lips.
"What's your mission?"
He groans and flops back onto the bed. "Thor and I have to monitor the railroads. It's like a stakeout in the movies."
"What about Nat and Wanda?"
"Similar assignment, but Nat has to hack into some mainframes or something."
"Yeah Tony's doing that too."
"Who's your partner?"
I pause a second. "James."
Peter purses his lips. "Ah."
"It's not like that."
"I know. I trust you."
I grin and peck his cheek. "Good."
"So...tomorrow's the big move in day. You excited?" He asks me.
"Yeah. Tony designed all our rooms, so I'm excited to see what he did. I mean we gave him what we wanted but ya know."
"I'm excited for the new training facility."
"Oh yeah, that too. Wanda and I cannot keep doing our witchy shit inside, it's not safe."
Peter comes closer and opens his arms, while I gladly snuggle closer to him.
"Your birthday is coming up."
Huh. Kinda forgot about that. "Ew, I'm gonna be 24."
"You're old."
"Whatever Spidey."

I tilt my head, watching as I use telepathy to lift box after box into the large moving truck. Wanda's next to me, helping similarly, with her red hue enveloping the boxes and furniture.
It's move in day.
Our new compound is located about a half hour from the SHIELD headquarters, deep in the forest. I see Steve and James out of the corner of my eye, watching Wanda and I along with Peter and Tony.
Nat, Thor, Sam, and Bruce went ahead in a car to start unpacking the first truck that left earlier.
I turn to Tony as we place the last of the boxes into the truck.
"Okay," he claps his hands together. "So, I guess Steve can—"
"Nope."
"Don't read my mind, Santa."
"Wanda and I will be taking the truck, the rest of you can take the car." I grin at the girl next to me, finding a matching smirk on her face.
"Well, that's not fair. The car is small. And we have the goat."
"The truck's small too." Wanda says.
"Yeah, not happening." Steve starts to walk towards the truck, but I watch as he freezes in place. "Wha—Tal!"
I chuckle and start heading to the truck. I hear the boys grumbling as they try to move, but can't because I'm holding them in place.
"Not cool!" Peter calls out.
Wanda closes and locks the back of the truck, while I go to the driver's side and jump in, looking over at the four men frozen and glaring at me.
"Fuck you!" Bucky yells.
I chuckle and flip him off before closing the door and looking over at Wanda.
"Ready?"
"Yes."
⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️
Wanda and I are about five minutes out from the compound, us occupying ourselves with some music and attempting to sing.
It honestly makes me happy to see Wanda interacting and smiling, especially after everything she's been through. The truck is pretty easy to drive, a little tight though trying to get through some of the streets back in the city.
"I wonder how the boys are doing."
I glance at the redhead next to me as an idea forms in my head. Reaching over, I turn the volume down and quickly tap a kimoyo bead.
"Call Tony."
I wink at Wanda as the beads start to connect to a call.
"Oh boy."
Hello?
"Hey, Old Man. Is everyone still alive?"
I stifle a laugh as I hear someone say 'not for long' in the background.
There was minor arguing in the start about seating. But I put some music on—
More like eardrum-killing sounds. Bucky chimes in. I hear Alpine bleating in the background.
It was music. Tony continues.
I just chuckle at them. "How far behind are you guys?"
Maybe ten minutes. How close are you?
"Five."
Alright, well, hopefully we will see you two soon. And all in one piece.
"Ha ha. See you later, dad." I hang up and glance at Wanda.
"I really want to know what that car ride was like for them." She says.
"Hmm, let's see." I tap my chin with a finger. "Two of my former..." I search for the right word. "lovers are with my boyfriend and my dad. Including the fact that James likes me too. How well do you think it went?"
We eventually pulled up and my jaw dropped open as the new compound came into view. We had driven deep into the woods and came out into a clearing to find a massive modern looking facility. There was a hangar over to the left, still under construction it seemed, and a small parking lot in front of the building.
I pulled the truck around towards the side near a loading deck. A small smile forms on my face as I see a familiar red head waving at us. Stopping the truck, I quickly get out and hug Nat.
"Any issues?" She asks me.
"Mmm, not for us. The boys are...well they're being boys."
She just shakes her head. I look over and start to walk around the building towards the back. I pause and my mouth pops open as I let my gaze run over the acres of land we have. Wanda comes up to my side, and has a similar reaction as me.
"Yeah," she starts. "This will do."

I'm pretty sure we spent about three or four hours unloading everything and putting it in their specific rooms. Peter and I had explored the new place a little bit. The library is expansive, I would be spending a lot of time there, and the main living area is perfect. There were a few conference rooms that look out over the green, and then majority of the building was for training. I haven't actually looked inside my room yet, but all the doors have our initials on them. Nat's across from me and Wanda is to my left. The boys are further down the hallway.
Right now, Wanda and are bringing up our personal boxes, as we've moved furniture into the other rooms already. I flick my hand and watch as the five boxes that I had floating, settle into a neat stack next to the door.
The black TJ stares at me as I turn the knob and step inside, my mouth dropping open. There's a pretty big living space with a wall of windows opposite the door. Two book shelves line the wall to my left, another door next to them. The floors are a grey wood panel and the walls a soft cream color. There's a black couch facing the right, where a flat screen TV is mounted on the wall, another door to the left of the TV. A small coffee table rests in front of the couch, while there's a matching black armchair in the corner near the TV.
I walk further in and head towards the door on the left. I continue to gape as it opens to a ginormous bathroom. To the left, is an extensive mirror with a double vanity. Cabinets are underneath the sinks and build up on the sides with some shelving, framing the mirror. To the right is a large bath tub, that resembles a jacuzzi or a hot tub. Walking further inside, there's a small door where a private toilet is located. And then further down to the right is a huge shower. It's similar to my other one, the two large shower heads with the removable ones. There's shelving and a small bench inside as well.
I just shake my head in awe as I exit the bathroom and go towards the door next to the TV. I push it open and pause as I look around the bedroom.
A king size bed with a dark grey and blue comforter rests opposite the door, matching white nightstands on either side. A painting of the New York skyline hangs above the bed and a smile forms on my face at that. I walk further in, finding a dresser on the wall to the right of the bed, and a TV on the wall opposite the bed. There's yet another door to the left of the bed and I head there.
Honestly, how big are these rooms?
I push it open, my jaw dropping as I look around the walk in closet. There are shelfs and bars for clothes, drawers and cubbies. I am speechless.
Going back out, there are glass doors on the wall left of the bed and I push them open, stepping out onto a pretty roomy balcony. We're on the second floor, so it looks over the expansive green lawn, with two outdoor chairs and a little table. I turn to my right and wave at Wanda.
"Wands!"
She looks over at me and laughs. "The rooms are awesome!"
"I know!"
I look to my left, my brows furrowing as I see a small, steep staircase. I go over and down the stairs, coming to a stop.
Tony made a goat area underneath my balcony.
There's a fence at the bottom of the stairs, leading to a partially shaded grassy area. The shaded area is provided by the balcony with the other half exposed to the sun. I chuckle at the little dog house with Alpine's name on it.
Going back up the stairs, I know I need to find Tony and thank him for this. For everything.
