"If you want to meet Luna, then I need you to stop. You need to keep things calm and quiet. There has to be a time period in which you don't stir the world up again. Let it settle a bit, and then I can bring her down and not worry as much about S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, or X-Corp, or the Avengers... anyone who wants you brought to justice ready to burst in after you, putting her life in danger."
Pietro leaned forward. "You want to prove to me that you really want to see your grandchild, you'll do this for me. Because if anything happens to her because of you, the ones that hurt her wouldn't be the only ones to pay..."
It was a father's threat against the life of his child. And a very promising one, because many might not acknowledge it, but Pietro knew his father that well, and if anyone had the chance to kill Magneto, it would be him.
And in that one way, it could be seen that Pietro was just as dangerous a man as his father was - given the right circumstances.
