Wanda Maximoff 3

Jack decided to first awaken Pietro's powers, which should be easier, and then he could let Pietro run on the treadmill while he awakened Wanda's powers. So in the next few days, Jack was figuring out how to do that.

Soon Jack thought that the best way was to use the Reality Stone to awaken his powers and use the Mind Stone to help, just like in the movie. Unlike Strucker who could only use Loki's scepter and therefore had to do experiments, Jack owned the Mind Stone.

So he could use its power directly on Pietro and didn't have to make him feel pain with it. That's why Jack thought that Pietro wouldn't suffer from it. Jack used the Reality Stone to awaken what needed to be awakened, which made it less efficient.

As Jack expected, Pietro's power appeared soon and began to awaken. He didn't feel any pain, but he felt uncomfortable because his power greatly improved his metabolism and improved his body to withstand high speed.

Pietro would have improved speed, stamina, and endurance, and his brain would also improve so that his vision and reflexes could keep up with his speed. When Pietro fully awakened his powers, he started vibrating like in the movie.

"Congratulations, Pietro, you have awakened your powers, now we just have to train you. Now you'll be vibrating like this for a few days or weeks, so you have to be careful when you move, after all, you can feel pain if you hit the walls at full speed," Jack said.

"What? I'm going to vibrate like this for weeks? If you told me, I wouldn't have agreed to awaken this power," Pietro said, making jokes to calm himself down.

"When you can run at speeds above the sound barrier, you won't complain anymore. Now stay in your room for the next few days while I help your sister," Jack said.

Wanda still had doubts about whether what Jack was saying was true. She knew he was powerful and had no reason to lie, but she doubted that she could be so powerful or that her brother could be so fast. But upon seeing Pietro awakening, she fully believed in Jack.

While Jack had started to help Wanda awaken her much more dangerous powers, Anna and Kitty had to pass the time by talking. The two were great friends and always found topics to distract themselves.

"Kitty, I'm going to tell you a secret, I know Jack won't read your mind, so you can't tell anyone what I'm about to say," said Anna.

"You know you can trust me, Anna, what's your secret?" asked Kitty curiously.

"I think I don't love Jack anymore," said Anna.

"What? How is that possible? You two are always together, and Jack seems like such a good boyfriend to you," asked Kitty, shocked to hear this.

"I know that, I didn't say Jack is a bad boyfriend, he could actually be many people's dream boyfriend, and I know he loves me. But I think I don't love him, I thought I did at first," said Anna.

"When I met Jack, you know my situation very well, I couldn't touch anyone without hurting them, so I always had to wear gloves even to greet someone or give a hug, let alone kiss or date someone."

"So when I found out my power didn't work on Jack, I was very happy. My mind was chaotic because of the personalities that existed in my mind due to my powers, and I also felt needy for affection."

"I think I confused the emotion of being able to touch someone again with my chaotic mind and was sure I loved him. Do you remember how I spent months trying to win him over and asking everyone for advice?"

"So we started dating and he was always very affectionate, I liked him a lot and gave myself completely to him, so the first year was wonderful and I felt things I never thought I could feel because of my powers."

"After the first year of dating, I had satisfied all my cravings and Jack healed my mind, so my other personalities disappeared and I returned to normal, so I began to think that I might not love him as much."

"And now in the last few months, Jack had to leave several times because of his hero work. I felt a little angry and realized I was used to being near him and didn't feel the longing that a lover should feel, just maybe missing him as a friend," Anna said.

Kitty, hearing all this, didn't know what to say. At first, she thought Anna was crazy. After all, Jack was an excellent boyfriend and it didn't make sense for her not to love him. But hearing what Anna said, she had to admit that Anna was right.

But Kitty had no way of giving advice to Anna about this. After all, Anna and Jack didn't know, but Kitty had also fallen in love with Jack in recent years, especially now that she knew his real identity.

That's why Kitty agreed to come to Sokovia with Anna when Anna didn't even want to come, but Kitty would never tell Anna or Jack about it. After all, she didn't want to interfere with their relationship, but hearing that Anna no longer loved Jack, she thought she might have a chance.

"I don't know what I can tell you, Anna. I think you know better what you feel, but as a friend, I have to say, if you break up with Jack, who is great for you, you may never be able to have another boyfriend because of your powers," Kitty said.

"Besides, you know how Jack helped you in the last few years. You even said that he cured your mind of the other personalities, which even Professor Xavier couldn't do," Kitty said. It was the best advice she could give as a friend.

"I know that Kitty, but it's because I know he loves me that I think I should tell the truth and break up with him. After all, he doesn't deserve me staying with him without truly loving him or liking him a lot," Anna said.

Hearing this, Kitty didn't say anything else. She knew that Anna might be happier if she broke up with Jack if she felt this way, and only Jack would suffer if that happened. But Kitty thought it was better for Jack to suffer the pain of separation than the pain of living a life without love.
