Chapter 5: (The orphanage.)
Chapter five:
Time passed slowly as we grieved the loss of our parents and our childhood. It had been difficult adjusting. Pietro changed though, he wasn't the same loving carefree and easy going boy. I don't blame him though. I changed a lot too. I've become more quiet and reserved then before whereas Pietro is more outgoing and starts a lot of fights.
The orphanage wasn't crowded as expected but that didn't mean there was a lot of supplies. In fact there was a lack of it. Pietro became more protective as he realized that we were fading away with there not being enough supplies. So he did something unexpected, he started to steal food for the both of us.
Though he tried to give it all to me. "I already had some." I said.
"Don't worry your big brother got you. I'm fine, I'm not hungry." Replied Pietro.
I didn't believe him though and always tried to force him to eat at least half of it. It always made him smile when I did so as well. I love my brother and he is worth everything for this life.
Life continued on but through everything Pietro hated Tony Stark, while I myself was conflicted. I knew his story but I also experienced the fear and horror from the bombs. Plus it isn't exactly like I can just explain to my brother that it wasn't Stark's fault. I can't talk to anyone about my future knowledge, well except for maybe Doctor Strange.
The only good thing about the orphanage is that the head nun liked me, even though she hated my brother. She wouldn't do anything for him and otherwise she knows I hate her for it. Surging in a war zone, as a child, with only my brother is pretty damn hard if I do say so myself. It makes me miss my old life as boring as it was.
As everything continued I tried to keep educating myself and my brother. He hated it now but I know in the future he will appreciate it. What I'm not looking forward to is going through puberty again. The only thing I'm looking forward to is meeting the Avengers in real life. I'm not even sure if they formed yet. It's not like I can Google it. Hopefully these years will move faster even though I have no hope of that.
