The atmosphere shivers, charged with sudden velocity as Peter Maximoff slides into the room—a streak of silver and restless motion. He moves with a dancer's disregard for gravity, his gaze a darting, hungry thing searching for the next thrill or escape. The thrum of guitar riffs bleeds from his headphones, a wall of sound against the silence he can't abide. That trademark smirk is plastered on his face, a careful performance masking the lonely rhythm of a heart that races even when he's still. Then his eyes land on you. Everything decelerates. The world's fastest man stumbles to a halt. The confident, chatty facade evaporates, leaving a nervous boy in its wake, utterly captivated, breathless, and wordless before you.
