A few weeks later, the Scarlet Witch and the Vision also got married, and left the team for their honeymoon. The Avengers being a bit short on members, they asked several former members to rejoin, including Quicksilver. However, Pietro took offense in this request, angrily pointing out that the Avengers were asking him to abandon his own marriage so that Wanda could be happy with a husband he didn’t approve of. [Avengers (1st series) #137]
Where the Avengers had been a team of close friends, the royal Inhumans were a family that knew each other for their entire lives. An outsider among the Inhumans, Quicksilver found himself feeling confined living in the Great Refuge. It also didn’t sit well with Pietro that Black Bolt’s word was law and everyone had to follow his orders. More often than not, Quicksilver would have preferred to go into action when a crisis arose, but Black Bolt mostly had he and Crystal remain in Attilan, while the other members of the Royal Family would attend the matters at hand. The fact that he and Crystal were taken hostage several times by the Inhumans' enemies and used to blackmail Black Bolt certainly didn’t help Pietro to feel useful.

When the Collector tried to capture all past and present members of the Avengers to protect them from a mysterious enemy, Quicksilver was among the first Avengers to be taken. One by 
one did the alien teleport Avengers from all over the globe into stasis tubes aboard his spaceship. In the end, only Hawkeye remained, though he did the impossible and beat the Collector, freeing all his comrades. Pietro eagerly remained with the team for the duration of their conflict with Korvac, the cosmic menace that the Collector had tried to protect them from. His distaste for Wanda's marriage still had not changed and he felt similarly about Jocasta, a robot woman recently added to the Avengers. The telepathic Moondragon was so disgusted with his constant bigotry and slurs that she psionically forced insight and acceptance into Pietro's mind. He immediately stopped his violent attitude and began to accept the Vision as his brother-in-law. [Avengers (1st series) #170, 174-176]
With there being too many heroes loosely associated with the Avengers and mansion security having been breached several times, the government (in the form of Henry Peter Gyrich) limited the roster to seven members and, even worse, named who these seven were. Wanda and her husband were both among this 
group, while Pietro was not. However, before he could leave the mansion, Quicksilver was struck down mid-sentence by an unseen force. When Wanda mysteriously fell before the same force hours later, the Avengers' investigation led them to a confused old man named Django Maximoff, who had used his minor magical powers to retrieve the siblings' souls and place them in tiny marionettes. Though they did not recognize him, Django claimed that Wanda and Pietro were his own children. Curious about his claims, the two agreed to accompany him back to Transia, the European land where both he and they hailed from. They hoped to resolve the conflict between their own memories, Django's hauntingly familiar story and what Wanda had previously learned from their supposed father, Robert Frank. [Avengers (1st series) #181-182]
Checking into an inn at the base of Wundagore Mountain in Transia, Pietro was surprised when his sister disappeared from her room in the middle of the night. He tracked her up the mountain itself, but injured himself in the climb and fell unconscious in the snow. When he awoke, Pietro was in the humble home of Bova, the cow-woman who had served as a midwife at his birth. From Bova, he learned the fateful story of his and Wanda's birth, full of lies and half-truths as Bova identified his mother as Magda, how she had presented the infant twins to the Whizzer as his own children only 
to be rejected, and their eventual adoption at the hands of Django and Marya Maximoff. In the meantime, however, Wanda had become possessed by Chthon, the malevolent elder demon whose spirit inhabited Wundagore Mountain. Summoning the Avengers, Quicksilver and his allies succeeded in freeing Wanda from Chthon's influence by trapping the demon’s soul in the marionette Django Maximoff had carved of the Scarlet Witch. Unfortunately due to the strain of the conflict, Django's heart gave out. Pietro and Wanda buried their adoptive father at the base of the mountain where he had spent the happiest times of his life. [Avengers (1st series) #185-187]
Returning to Attilan after this ordeal, the overjoyed Crystal surprised Pietro with the news that she was pregnant with their child. [Avengers (1st series) #188]
Quicksilver seemed to grow happier with life with the Inhumans after the news, and even forged a friendship of sorts with Crystal's cousins Gorgon and Karnak. Inhuman xenophobia still shown through on occasion, however, and Pietro was conscious that he would always be seen as an outsider, though he didn’t care as much about it as he had used to.
When the criminal scientists called the Enclave developed an interest in Attilan, Quicksilver and the Inhumans found themselves at war with the group's mercenaries. To make matters worse, 
the pure atmosphere of Attilan was becoming polluted with air from the rest of the world, and the weak immune systems of the Inhumans were falling victim to those pollutants, including Crystal just as she went into labor. With the aid of the Fantastic Four and a surprise helping hand from Maximus the Mad, the Inhumans managed to fight off the Enclave. Black Bolt and Reed Richards devised a means of relocating the Great Refuge from Tibet to Earth's moon, underneath the artificial atmosphere of the Blue Area of the Moon. There, the Inhumans recovered and, with the medical aid of Mister Fantastic, Crystal safely gave birth to Pietro's daughter, who they would name Luna after their new home. [Fantastic Four (1st series) #239-240, 248]
When Wanda was visiting Quicksilver and Crystal on the moon to meet her niece for the first time, they were suddenly approached by Magneto, the Master of Magnetism. The siblings 
feared he wanted to reclaim them for his Brotherhood and immediately attacked. The fighting only stopped when Crystal yelled out, fearing for the safety of her daughter. It was then that Magneto revealed to the twins' shock that he had recently learned he was their biological father. Crystal allowed Magneto to hold his granddaughter in his arms, but the peaceful moment was not to last. Pietro was horrified and rejected his newfound father's attempts at familial bonding, quickly wresting his daughter from Magneto’s arms. Wanda fully agreed with her brother. [Vision & Scarlet Witch (1st series) #4, Avengers (1st series) #234]
However, while he denounced his father's prejudices, Quicksilver began to develop intolerances of his own when he learned that his daughter, Luna, had been born a normal human, with no mutant or Inhuman powers. Despite Crystal's pleas to the contrary, he chose to invoke his paternal right under Inhuman law and subject his infant child to the Terrigen Mists, in the hopes that she would mutate and develop some Inhuman abilities. He was only stopped by the pleas of the monstrous Ben Grimm and Crystal's cousins tricking him into believing Lockjaw was a horrifically mutated Inhuman. Faced with these possibilities for his daughter, Pietro ultimately relented and allowed his daughter to remain human. [Thing (1st series) #3]
Realizing that Inhumans might not be well suited for taking care of such a normal child, Quicksilver decided to seek out Bova in the hopes that she would serve as a nanny for little Luna. Arriving at Wundagore Mountain, however, Pietro found Bova's small cabin demolished into splinters. Finding the old cow-woman recovering at a local doctor's, he learned that it was from Bova that Magneto had learned he was the father of the twins... and that he had not been gentle in forcing the information out of her. Pietro brought Bova up to Attilan to recuperate. [Avengers (1st series) #243-245, 247]
