Avengers: The Children’s Crusade, Issue: 2

This issue was pretty sad honestly. I really enjoyed it though. Here’s some highlights.

In this issue we find out where Wanda is, and we meet Pietro. The Young Avengers battle the Avengers and are now on the run.

Rating: 6/10

+1 quotable moment

+1 for thickening plot

+1 for Pietro’s introduction

+1 for Tommy wanting to be the favorite

-1 for out of character Logan

+1 for supportive Kate

+1 for powerful Billy

+1 protective Uncle Pietro

Sometimes you try to excuse a shit ton of past mistakes by blaming them on a Skrull. Sometimes you’re put on the spot and forced to come clean in front of colleagues and the media. But it’s your daughter’s forgiveness that makes all the difference 😭 I’m not crying, you’re crying.

quicksilver is good a math, in the sense that he convinces himself he's smarter than it and mocks it

does it help? surprisingly yes

is it weird to be around him while he's calculating because of that? yes, he'll be quietly whispering insults either to himself for mental, or to a literal piece of paper.

Same Pietro,same

I’ve spent the last 3 days reading,one of those is my reread of Peter David’s x factor

[wolf686]

With the new year coming up my challenge to myself is to read every single comic book that Pietro Maximoff has been in over the course of 2025. I, of course, realise this is going to make me scream into my pillow over bad writing and mourn what could have been almost constantly. Ah, the things I do for love.

We begin this journey with Uncanny X-Men (1963) #4, the first appearances of Pietro and Wanda!

The first time we ever see Pietro and it's him being protective over Wanda, which does basically become his entire character (according to most people) for multiple decades, hell, it still kind of is.

From the very beginning he's hyper-focused on his sister, his argumentative personality coming through by arguing with the Toad and Mastermind about Wanda.

Him decking Mastermind is kind of fun though, love to see it.

I know this is long before the whole Magneto-dad reveal, but I do enjoy how linked together these characters have been from the very beginning.

Again, we're seeing Pietro put Wanda above himself. Her safety is much more important than his own, at least in his mind. Hell, he only decides to stay simply because Wanda does, even when he clearly wants to leave and is fully capable of doing so.

We also learn the origin story where Wanda was being hunted (?) due to her powers and Magneto saved her, Pietro's nowhere to be seen here.

Pietro, yet again, says he's only there for Wanda, even if he has no love for humans either.

I'd like to bring attention to Pietro looking thoroughly unhappy here, he obviously doesn't want to be there with Magneto. For context here, Magneto and the Brotherhood are invading a republic (as Magneto says) and generally being villains, as they are.

Yet, notice Wanda, she has no objections here and even praises these actions. While Pietro is against it all, Wanda is supporting it (although she does question the methods, she quickly agrees). Showing that even from the beginning these twins were always going to be fundamentally different.

Pietro's first ever fight and it's against Angel. Of course, Pietro is faster (he is in fact a blur), but Warren has maneuverability on his side and manages to win by simply causing Pietro to run headfirst into a wall.

Wanda then appears, is quickly sexualised, then causes the ceiling to cave in on Warren. These events also solidifying her misplaced trust in Magneto and his ideals.

After capturing Angel, Cyclops makes his move to attack, which promptly causes Magneto to order Pietro to fight back.

Now before this, Pietro showed awe over Scott's powers, something that no one in the Brotherhood has expressed about an X-Man in this issue so far.

The X-Men manage to escape and with his plans thwarted, Magneto then decides to bomb the country.

Once again, Pietro is the odd man out, the only one there showing concern over the innocents who would die. You can't see from this panel but Wanda is right next to him, she has no verbal objections to this plan.

While she escapes, Wanda does think about how horrible it all is, but she says or does nothing to interfere. In fact, she's trying to rationalise in her mind that Magneto must be bluffing, at least that's what I got from it all.

Opposite to Wanda's blind faith and silent subordination, Pietro, instead of escaping, runs to disable the nuclear bomb. Unable to sit by and let thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands (it's not very clear how big this country is) simply die.

Despite the X-Men witnessing Pietro disable the bomb and trying to talk to him. Pietro still runs away, back to his sister, even if he's against the acts the Brotherhood commits, he won't leave them.

Scott tries to run after Pietro, but Bobby stops him and some drama with Professor X happens, but this isn't about him, it's about Quicksilver.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing in how Pietro's characterisation hasn't really changed all that much from his very first issue. The more I think about it, that's definitely a bad thing.

I'm very excited to continue reading and analysing Pietro through the years and hopefully claim my spot as #1 Quicksilver fan in the world.

Even though I've read a good amount of 60s Flash comics, I still don't think Barry Allen is my favourite character with superspeed. Quicksilver is a lot more fun to me, and even the 40s Jay Garrick sounds more fun and silly to me (some of the 40s comics sound very lighthearted and fun, but I can't read them because they're all in bad quality. sigh...).

But I found that I didn't really like Iris West, and that Barry Allen was okay (just not my favourite character). Really, the saving grace is the villians. Captain Cold, Mirror Master, Captain Boomerang, The Trickster, they're all such good villians. I love them and their gimmicks. I almost want to see Quicksilver deal with Flash's rogues. That way, we combine the superspeed character I prefer with the villians i love. That might be cool.

Evan Peters; does he want to settle down and have a family?

All readings are alleged and for entertainment purposes only; please take each reading with a grain of salt.

How does Evan feel about marriage: the emperor reversed, 5 of swords reversed, knight of pentacles - I don’t see it being something on his mind and this is primarily tied to a past relationship where he attempted to settle for marriage and things didn’t go as he hoped. So now he’s dead set against the idea and feels like that’s the best for him nowadays. I think there’s a lingering feeling of wanting to know if he can be loved enough to marry someone but he’s not willing to risk it at the moment.

Oracle card: clock - this is a cycle that he’s made for himself as a way to heal from the previous heartbreak of putting himself out there for a relationship and getting burned. Right now this isn’t something he’s seeking out but he could change his mind given the circumstances and if he feels like this person is worth it.

How does Evan feel about having children of his own: the devil, the hanged man reversed, 6 of swords - for Evan I think he’s seeing having kids as asking too much of him and also it scares the hell out of him now. I think he feels more than anything that this chance to have children came and went so he’s not wanting to add a child into his life. So now he’s set up a boundary and is against having kids because he’s feeling that ship sailed away years ago and he’s come to his senses knowing he just can’t stand that idea of them.

Oracle card: teddy bear - I think if things happened on accident he wouldn’t throw the idea out. He’s just scared and feels he’d be a terrible father now. So he’s just trying to play it safe; but if things go awry and he ends up with a kid he will try and make it work but he’s not risking it.

Compliment Part 2

Peter Maximoff x Reader

Tagged: @floraroselaughter

It’d been weeks since your rather awkward encounter with Peter, well maybe awkward wasn’t the right word for it. Hindsight had been a bit of an eye opener for you after that day and you had spent that time growing more and more embarrassed with yourself. It wasn’t that you were ashamed of it, not at all, in fact it was more the urge to keep doing it that had caught you off guard. Watching Peter the way you liked to do had revealed he didn’t have many friends and certainly even less compliments. Your one off handed compliment had seemed to brighten his week and as you watched him revert back to his old self you couldn’t help but feel… Sad. Everyone deserved compliments. While you yourself hadn’t been on the receiving end of many compliments that didn’t mean others weren’t deserving of them. Your mother had drilled into your head to be the change you wanted to see in the world and mostly you just wished people were kinder to each other. Especially with all this mutant nonsense that seemed to be cropping up. Perhaps you were tenderhearted with your belief that one should do unto others as they’d wish others would do unto them, perhaps you were overly optimistic in the hope that humans and mutants could coexist. You weren’t sure. 

But you did know that you liked seeing others happy. 

After having worked yourself into an embarrassed mess over the compliment a few weeks ago it took you some time to work up the courage to try it again. This time however you took your time formulating the compliment you wanted to give. It’d be something small, insignificant to most, but something only someone who was watching might think to give. Arguably you knew he was self conscious of certain things. It was quite obvious in the way he acted what made him jittery. So there you were in your shared class with your chin in your palm as the teacher droned on in the background. Peter seemed to be developing heterochromia in his eyes, that pale blue ring to them more visible now than before. But you had already complimented them. You didn’t want to come off as a broken record. Instead you had zeroed in on his hair. Years of watching your mother straighten her own hair had given you a clue what natural straight hair and ironed straight hair looked like. As track season had begun and Peter had taken to it you’d noticed that his hair had gotten almost curly at the roots. Why he’d hide such a thing didn’t make sense to you but you figured that was just something he did. His eyes darted to your own and he tensed clearly not expecting you to be watching, giving him a warm smile you hummed to yourself in thought. The smile was what made him pause. His lips parted to speak and you were reminded that he also had nice lips. They looked soft despite most likely being chapped. Kissable. That particular thought was set aside for later. 

“You’d look nice with curly hair.” You spoke, interrupting him before he could speak himself. The soft incessant tapping of his foot paused. For a moment he merely stared back at you. He blinked the words setting in slowly. But just like the last time you complimented him that barely there blush threatened to rise to his cheeks. His face was more round than other boys, betraying a youth that hadn’t yet left him in favor of puberty. He cleared his throat after a moment, eyes darting nervously around the room to see if anyone had heard or was paying any attention. Or perhaps he was looking to see if you’d been set up by someone. That thought rather hurt. 

“I look weird with curly hair.” He mumbled after a moment. His hand scrubbed over his face and you couldn’t help but smile a little more. 

“I think you’d look handsome.” You shrugged. To your fascination that blush deepened, his face reddened in such a way that you could clearly see the pink. Those interesting eyes darted between you and somewhere off to the side as if trying to think of something to say. Something to refute your claim. But you continued to gaze at him with a warm smile. 

“You have nice lips.” He blurted out your eyes widened the same time his did. That blush now a bright flaming unmistakable red as he ducked his head. “Fuck.” He hissed to himself. 

Huh. You thought past the embarrassment. You tried not to immediately deny the compliment as sudden as it was. Had he been staring too? Your face felt warm as your smile curled a little at the edges with the heat. Going more crooked as the embarrassment set in. Taking a steady breath you willed your voice not to crack. 

“Thanks.” Your voice swelled with that bashful feeling threatening to overwhelm you. Gnawing on your cheek you glanced away. When you glanced back you found him staring right at you, some strange expression on his face you couldn’t place. Unsure of yourself you shuffled nervously in your seat. Strangely enough you could have sworn you saw his pupils dilate but that was silly. 

He cleared his throat suddenly and flipped erratically through the book you were supposed to be reading for your class. Taking that as your cue you opened your own book and flipped to where you’d marked the pages. Self consciously your fingers trailed to your lips. You couldn’t help but let out a silent huff of amusement at what an awkward pair the two of you must have made. As the teacher continued to talk you glanced shyly back up at him and found his eyes. 

“I like your jacket too. It’s cute.” 

He shuffled around in his seat, teeth digging into his lower lip. A pretty deer in headlights. 

“I like the little hearts you doodle in your notebook.” He blurted and then flushed red yet again. It was clear he hadn’t meant to say that either. The confession caught you off guard, you didn’t think anyone noticed the little absentminded doodles you drew when you were struggling to focus. Much less noticed enough to realize what they were. Which meant that somehow Peter had been watching you like you had been watching him. All without you having noticed at all. The heat in your face returned but you couldn’t help the smile that tugged at your lips. 

“You do?” You asked, unable to hide the bashful tone of your voice. Those wide eyes skittered across your face and you wondered what he could possibly be thinking. 

“Yeah.” He answered plainly. “They, uh, they’re cute. I mean…” He trailed off clearly trying to think of something to say and grasping at straws. Taking pity on him and on yourself you found yourself stretching your leg out to rest your ankle against his. The featherlight touch had his foot immediately stilling, freezing him momentarily in place before he swallowed so hard his adam’s apple visibly jumped. 

“Thank you.” You told him genuinely. It was strange how that was the compliment that caught you the most. An unwitting admittance to being perceived by someone else. You had gone to pull your leg from his when his leg suddenly twisted to lock yours into place. Shifting so that the back of your ankle was pressed against the front of his. A new, surprising, development. Did Peter… Like touch? Did he want it? In all your time observing him you hadn’t noticed a preference for or against it. But if he wanted touch… You forced your leg to relax against his. Letting it rest there as if it were the most natural thing in the world as you turned back to your book. For the rest of the class period the two of you stayed like that. Ankles locked together harmlessly under your desks.
