Had a fun idea for a Spider-Man and Scarlet Witch story. I loved the way they wrote Peter's character in the PS4 video game. Tom Holland's Spider-Man is good, but I wanted a more grown up Spider-Man in the MCU so I came up with this little Avenger x Spider-Man PS4 crossover. Also, I just feel like there should be more Wanda and Peter fanfics. Keeping it as a one-shot for now but may write more chapters when I find time or motivation.

Setting: after the events of Age of Ultron and after the main story of the Spider-Man game (MJ and Peter didn't get back together).

Wanda drank her coffee in solitude, watching the pedestrians carry on with their daily lives. The Scarlet Witch found this to be the most peace she has had in the past month. If she wasn't stopping small crimes or saving some city from a terrorist threat, it was training to control her powers. Free time was becoming more of a rarity – that's why on this particular day when nothing eventful was happening, she decided to sneak out for a little "me-time."

The Scarlet Witch opted for a less flashy appearance, a simple green coat with a red t-shirt, jeans, boots, and a baseball cap. She wanted to put some sunglasses on but decided against it since that would probably make her stick out more. Being new to the Avengers, she didn't have much exposure from the media.

Wanda walked around the city for most of the morning, by lunch she found herself a small coffee store and isolated herself in the corner. Taking a sip from the paper cup she felt the small sting of heat hit her tongue, then an overpowering cinnamon and sugar rush that assaulted her taste buds. "Mmm" she breathed and nodded. Wanda loved the small things in life, and this was definitely one of them. She sighed and then turned to look out the window, continuing to observe the people walking down the streets and driving in the roads.

She tried her best not to use her powers to invade the minds of these individuals but by each passing minute it became more tempting. At first, mind reading was fun. Discovering dirty little secrets or hidden fantasies of her Avenger friends, or just knowing when to shut someone up who was about to trail off in a conversation. However, there was one time that Vision caught her in the act and told everybody at the base, and let's just say the Avengers weren't happy.

She could still hear the scolding of Tony and Steve ring through her ears for a week straight after the little event. The trauma of having a sarcastic asshole and an old man constantly telling her not to abuse her powers was not something she wanted to experience again. Thankfully, Wanda still hadn't fully forgiven Vision for his 'betrayal' and the android wanted to make it up to her.

She couldn't believe he actually agreed to let her go out without supervision.

Okay, maybe just a peak. She told herself, a devious grin made it onto her face. Wanda closed her eyes for a second and homed in on some of the people around her.

"Man, I am going to be late…"

"Shit, how do I get to the bus?"

"Well the kid could put together a resume at least…"

"Oh man, some easy pussy tonight…"

The last comment made her raise an eyebrow, the voice was closer than the others probably within the room. Goosebumps raised on the back of her neck, not in a good way either, it was the same feeling a person would get when a teacher would scratch a piece of chalk on a blackboard. The subtle shift of a chair sounded off in her ear. "Here we go." She sighed.

"Hi there, may I join you." She heard the man say.

"No." Wanda didn't even give him the courtesy of a glance.

The man was not phased the least from her answer and decided to plant himself in the chair opposite of her. "Why don't I buy you another coffee, I just want to talk?"

Rolling her eyes, she slowly shifted her head to give the man an annoyed look. "I sure hope no means no, in this country." Irritation in her voice, she crept into his mind to see what he was currently thinking.

"Aw yes, she has a sexy accent too." The blond man opened his mouth to speak. "Look, the name's Flash Thompson, I am nice guy once you get to know me."

Wanda stood up out of her seat, "I don't care to know you." Grabbing her coffee, she begins to make her way to the exit.

"Bitch."

Scarlet almost had her hand on the doorknob when she heard him say and think it. Wanda nearly made a fist with the hand holding the coffee but restrained herself. Instead, she made a quick wave of her fingers and a small mist of red trailed the jock which caused him to fumble into a waitress with hot coffee. Wanda smirked as she left the establishment, a satisfying yelp of pain escape the man's mouth as the door behind her closed.

Wanda made her way though several more blocks of busy streets, a catcall here and there, before reaching a slight hill. She caught sight of an elderly man in a wheelchair making his way up the valley, a part of her wanted to ignore the man. She remembered how harsh it was growing up in Sokovia, though people tried their best to help on another it wasn't advised. A not so fond memory popped back into her mind about the time a man tried to kidnap her, if it wasn't for Pietro, the man surly would have gotten away.

The thought of her brother made her heart twinge, it's been three months since he had passed, but the wounds from her lost have still yet to heal. "No, I must be better." She told herself. Wanda hurried her pace to catch up to the man.

"Hi mister."

"Huh?" The man turned to his right to find a young woman.

"Do you need help to get somewhere?" She questioned.

She could practically see the man's light up in joy. The look on the man's face way enough to make Wanda's day. It was what she had been yearning for a while now, to have someone look at her as a normal human being, to be needed, to not be feared.

The man nodded his head with a smile, "Why thank you miss, I really appreciate it."

The Witch returned the smile grabbed the handles of the chair. "So where to?"

"Just over this hill and down a block there is a shelter called F.E.A.S.T. if it doesn't trouble you, do you mind taking me there?" The old man enquired.

"Oh, it won't be a problem. I don't tire easily." Wanda reassured.

"Ah, what I wouldn't do to be your age again." He laughed.

….

"Here we are." The elderly man announced. In huge metal letters, the word F.E.A.S.T. was written on the head of the building.

"Interesting place. Food, Emergency, Aid, Shelter and Training." Wanda muttered.

"Ah, the people are nice, and the food is filling. That is all I can ask for." The elderly man said as Wanda helped him into the building.

"Well this is the end of the line. Oh, how rude of me I almost forgot to ask, what's your name? I am Josh."

"Wanda. It's was nice meeting you Josh."

"Wanda" He let the name sit on his tongue, "That's a nice name. We'll if you are ever in the neighborhood, please come by and give me a visit. Wanda."

Wanda smiles again, it was nice meeting a new friend. The idea of coming by didn't seem like a terrible idea at the moment. She replied with "Of course."

"Hey Mr. Baker! How are you today."

Wanda heard someone speak and steps coming their direction. She looked to her right and saw a young man around her age walk over to them. He was a bit taller than average 5'10 maybe 5'11, he wore some loose-fitting jeans, sneakers, and a very painfully bland green and yellow plaid shirt.

"Mr. Baker, I haven't seen you in a while. What have you been up to?" The brown hair man said as he gave Josh a hug.

"Hey Peter, I wanted to drop by and greet some familiar faces. I'm currently working part time at the VA, so I am getting back on the road."

"That great to hear." Peter grinned, genuinely happy to see Josh. "Who's the friend you brought along?"

"Ah, this is Wanda. She helped me get all the way over here from down the street." Josh answered.

Peter turned his attention to the young lady and smile again. Now that Wanda got to see him better, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered from the bright look on the handsome guy's face. "Wanda Max-" Her eyes widened as she realized she was about to give him is full name, "Maxi" She finished.

Peter thought she was going to say something else for a moment furrowed his eyebrows for a split second. "Wanda, nice to meet you. Say, are you Russian? You have a cool accent." Sincere interest in his voice.

"I am – I am from Sokovia." She hesitantly answered.

Peter and Josh gave her a contrite stare. Peter rubbed the back of neck awkwardly, he kind of felt bad for asking now. "Sorry for what happened there. It was rude of me to ask."

"No, no, it's okay. Things happen." She raised her hand for a shake, "What's your name?"

"Peter, Peter Parker." He managed bring out is non-stuttering voice and reached for her hand. He tried his best to give her a soft sake, she could probably feel his nervousness. The guy looked like the type who had a hard time talking to girls. "It's nice to meet you Miss. Maxi."

Cute, she thought. Wanda Liked the fact that he was sort of old fashioned, she could feel his hand warm up because of nervousness, but surprisingly his shake was firm. The gentle contact was comforting, there was something about this man that seemed trustworthy, Wanda couldn't quite put her finger on it though. 'I promised not to do this, but it's just too tempting' she told herself as she used her mind reading ability to take a small look into the mind of one Peter Parker.

"Gosh, I hope I didn't cause her to relive a traumatic experience? We'll maybe she's used to it by now, I mean that is probably the first question guys ask her. Hmmm, have I seen her somewhere, I feel like I've seen her? Ok, I should probably stop shaking her hand before my hands get sweaty, I can't live with myself if sweaty palm guy is the only thing that comes across her mind when she sees this face."

Wanda couldn't control a laugh at the last bit. Wow, this guy's mind is on speed!

Peter looked confused for a second as she looked at the chuckling girl. "Something funny?"

Wanda waved both her hands in a small defensive gesture. "No, no, I was just thinking about something funny."

"Hmm? Okay? Well Miss Maxi. Care to join us? We are about to start a crazy game of bingo?" Peter flashed her another warm smile, which was hard for Wanda to ignore.

"I-I can't, I am sorry, I need to probably do some things…" The Scarlet Witch tried her best to think of an excuse.

Peter waved her off, "I totally get it, we all have crazy schedules."

She gave him an apologetic smile. "Thanks, it was nice meeting you Peter. Josh."

"Nice meeting you too. Come back some time, if you are ever interested in volunteering." Peter waved as helped Josh to a different part of the building.

….

The brunette found her way through the district after leaving F.E.A.S.T., visiting a bookstore for a quick skim of their library, and then a nearby theater to catch the latest blockbuster.

"Hmmm" She checked the time, it was 6:13 PM, just enough time to grab some food and head back before the team even noticed she was gone. 'I am feeling pizza' the thought of a delicious slice of pepperoni pizza made her mouth water.

After walking several blocks, she found a place called Eddie's Pizza. It's wasn't the busiest place but that could be because it's near the shoddier area of the city. The establishment was small but cozy looking, sort of like the coffee place she went to in the morning. Walking up to the front door, she peered through the glass for a quick glance. It didn't look like the place violated any safety regulations.

Gazing at the counter, a smile made it onto her face as she found a familiar face.

Sneakily, she pulled open the door and crept her way to the small line and behind the man staring blankly at the counter.

"Hi Peter."

The man in plaid made a "Hmm?" based on the thick accent he could tell who was behind him.

"Miss. Maxi! What a coincidence!" Turning around, he seemed surprised to see the woman.

"Please, call me Wanda. Miss. Maxi makes me feel old." The Scarlet Witch teased.

"Right sorry. What a coincidence, you come to this place often?"

"Not really." She answered truthfully. "I just wanted pizza and this place was close by. How about you?"

"You can say I am sort of a regular. Just between you and me, double pepperoni actually covers the whole top." He gave her a sheepish chuckle.

"Dearly noted." The witch nodded. "I think I may just get some now that you mention it."

"Oh yeah, for sure. Say, uh, if you are not busy do you want to maybe sit down. We can share a pizza?"

Wanda crossed her arms defensively. "Really? Peter."

The boy's eyes widened and flustered upon realizing what she was insinuating "Oh, no, no, no, I am j-just trying to be friendly." Yet again he shifted his body language in discomfort and starched the side of his chin with his index finger.

Wanda let out a laugh, she couldn't help but be amused by Peter's dorky mannerisms. "Just a joke. Sure, I'll find a place for us to sit, my feet are a little tired from the walk." The brunette reached into her pocket to grab some money.

"No, no, no, please. Let me get this, I was the one who offered."

Wanda protested, "No, we'll split the bill."

"No, I'll get it. Besides, it gives me an excuse to say next time it's on you. Hahaha" He laughed at his own joke.

She chuckled and shook her head in defeat. "Smooth."

….

"So, if I may ask. How'd you end up here?" Peter said as he took a bite out of hispizza that was practically dripping in cheese and pepperoni grease.

Wanda finished swallowing the last bit of her slice and picked up another one. "We'll after… the Sokovia incident. I didn't know where to go, I didn't have family outside of country besides-" She had to stop herself and take a quick sip of her soda; it was still a touch subject to talk about her brother. She didn't feel the need to spill out her past. "I didn't have nowhere to go, but luckily Tony Stark made a refugee program, and now I am here." She bended the truth a little bit, of course Tony did help her people find a new places to settle, but she was here for a totally different reason.

"I am sorry." Peter said sincerely, there was a pain in his gaze that made Wanda break eye contact. She didn't want to have someone pity her.

"So, okay. Well tell me if I am getting to personal here but are you living with a foster family then?"

"You can say that." She bended the truth again.

"We'll I hope they are some nice people." He began eating his new slice.

"They are, though it's been difficult adjusting to the new living sit-sitvation." She tried to pronounce the English word correctly.

Peter snickered at the girl which caused Wanda to give him an angry pout. "No offense, really. You're doing very well."

"English it a hard second language." She chimed.

"Sorry, sorry, I don't even know another language, I have no right to make fun of you." Peter tried to hide is smirk by taking a sip of his drink through his straw. It didn't help as Wanda made an angry squint and without warning leaned over the small table and lightly punched him in the shoulder. Peter nearly choked on his drink.

Now it was the devious witch's turn to laugh.

"I never expected such violence from you." He coughed.

"Call it pent up frustration." The double mean behind her words was purposeful. She could sense that the boy in front of her had a quick indecent thought run through his mind but quickly drowned it out with a gulp of his soda.

"Enough about me. What about you? What are you currently doing?" She inquired, leaning back into her seat.

"We'll I am going to school at the moment. I am thinking of becoming either a chemical engineer or doing something in biophysics." He smiled at the thought of it.

"So, you are a scientist?" She said with a mouthful of food.

"Trying to become one." He snapped his fingers and gave her a point.

"You must be very smart."

"I am ok, I wouldn't say I am smart." He scratched his chin again.

Wanda bit into her pizza. She could tell he was being very humble, at least she knows why he's a little awkward, it must be because he was the biggest nerd in school growing up. She felt some remorse due to herself being one of the more popular kids growing up. 'No wonder you don't find decent men Wanda' she cursed herself. "What are you currently working on right now? Internship? Job?"

"We'll at the moment I am an assistant to Doctor Ivan Kaminski, he's was a professor of mines when I attended Empire State. Brilliant man. Discovered a chemical compound that could seal deep wounds and gashes in less then ten seconds! Just imagine all the uses for such an adhesive. Ah, and right now he's testing the genetic variables of plant DNA to reprogram cells. I tried helping him once but failed, however we are going at it again. I can't even think of all the possible scientific discovery's we'll find in the coming months, years, with his work!" The enthusiasm shining out of him was practically blinding.

Wanda gave him a smile and nodded, pretending to understand what he was gibbering on about.

"Just think of it, with the right sequencing and mutations, there may be a possibility to develop a serum that will help fight cancers and … aaaaand I have totally lost you, haven't I?" Peter slouched in humiliation.

"Honestly, that was the part the caught my attention." Wanda jested.

"Sorry, I just get carried away. I am such a dork." He broke eye contact and lowered his gaze onto the last slice of pizza with embarrassment.

"No, I like that about you." Wanda spoke softly, she found herself subconsciously moving her foot lightly to his and giving his foot a playful nudge, her eyes still glued to him.

Peter noticed the little tap and made eye contact again. He was lost for words gazing into her emerald green eyes, some sprinkles of red scattered in her iris. The captivating colors where enhanced due to the slightly messy eyeliner she wore. In part, it reminded him of MJ, his ex-girlfriend but he waved away the comparison and returned a smile. Wanda interested him, the girl had a sense of loss he could connect to, and for once an appreciation for bad jokes. He found his own foot giving her a little touch, their midsoles rubbing each other in a calm rhythm.

Wanda also found Peter to be an interesting character. His soft brown eyes told it all. Something was hidden inside of him, a fierce passion that hasn't yet been presented to her. The way he treated her as a normal twenty-two-year-old woman, how he dedicated his time to help the people in need at the shelter. If she wanted to, she could just delve into his mind to get some answers, but she didn't want to spoil the fun and mystery behind the innocent face.

Stealthily, she moved her hand to reach for the pizza, Wanda found her fingers pinching the crust of the last slice and tried to pull it, only to meet an unexpected tug from the opposite direction.

Wanda looked down to find Peter pulling on the other end. She raised her eyebrow in a cocky manner, only for Peter to copy it. "Don't make me hit you again." She harassed.

…

Wanda sighed a little a she noticed the time displaying on an electronic advertising board, 7:20 PM. 'They are definitely going to be asking questions'

"Curfew?" Peter noticed the disgruntled look on the brunette's face.

"No curfew, interrogation." She rolled her eyes.

"I am sorry, I shouldn't have kept you." Peter apologized, feeling guilty for the trouble he may have caused her.

"Don't be, I got some free pizza." She tried lightened the mood.

Peter smirked, "I guess it's worth it then?"

"Definitely."

The two continued their walk for few minutes until they reached a nearby park. "We'll my bus will be here soon." This time Wanda was telling the truth, as much as she wanted their little stroll to continue, she had to return to the Avenger tower and the Scarlet Witch didn't want him to find out who she really was, and who her foster family were.

"I'll wait a few minutes. Make sure you get on safely." Peter offered.

"Why, aren't you the gentlemen?" Wanda playfully nudged her elbow against the man.

"I do my best." Peter replied.

The two stood in silence for a few minutes watching people pass by. Peter bobbed on his feet trying his best to come up with a good way to ask Wanda for her number. Scarlet Witch could tell by the uncomfortable atmosphere and slight twitches of Peter's lips that he was thinking about saying something to her. She didn't need to have mind reading powers to tell what was going on in his mind.

The two stared around indiscriminately, Wanda stole glances at the nerdy guy, but he continued pretending to scan the environment. The witch crossed her arms and bit her lip, contemplating her next move.

Buzz* Buzz*

Peter furrowed his eyes and pulled out his phone. 'What terrible timing' he thought as he pulled the device out of his pocket and looked at the notification. It was the Police Captain Yuri Watanabe and written in all caps was a message that basically told him to get his ass to North Manhattan.

"Oh man this must be important" he breathed. He was so focused on the urgent call that he didn't notice the bus pull up in front of them. Abruptly, Wanda slipped her hand around his collar and pulled him in for a kiss on the cheek.

Peter's eyes shot wide open at the gesture, left speechless as Wanda made her way quickly into the bus, "Catch you later Peter." She waved as the glass doors closed.

Peter waved back dumbfound, only sparing a few seconds to see the bus start its engine and begin moving away. With that, he ran towards the nearest alleyway to change into his superhero alter ego.

Wanda meandered to an empty spot in the back of the bus, she hoped to get one final glance of the young man but was left disappointed when he had disappeared.

….

And done for now.
