Pietro on the other hand was devastated at first hearing Cain in coma after his stand off with Thanos. He also learned the Vision is greatly damaged on every part and still on Wakanda getting repaired and treated.
While his most devastating moment was when he heard his sister also vanished by the snap like the others.

He cooperated with the Shield agents to calm and deal with the mobs who took advantages of the disorder and turmoil of the society.

Now that the Avengers gained a very to the top reputation by defending the world from alien invaders and fighting criminals around the world to keep peace at bay.
The society is on the verge pandemonium, heroes come out one after another and if they gained another influences they would not have any dominance against the Avengers.
Moreover, as the government and the nation's sovereign. They are ought to control whatever is happening inside their country.
Giving more power and influence to the so called heroes for them is to have another opponents that can usurp the rule from their hands.
The mayhem only calm down after a week and no protest against the government happens. The disruption to the society affected not only the policy and the upheaval international terror but also cause a devastating impact to the economy.
Pietro look at the people looting the city of its businesses stall, he knows that some of this people are really causing this disorder just for the sake of selfishness.
He already stop these kinds of frenzy break-ins but there seems to be a leader who organise this type of robbery. His job was to arrest the mastermind of this crime, after the agents is done with the investigation and interrogation, he just had to run and take out the people behind this mess.
The agent walked out of a room, his fist bloodied and clothes in tatters. Pietro had already an idea of what happens inside.
The snitch demanded a fair hand to hand fight and the deal was whoever wins get what they want. And it seems the agent won the fight so he got out with a fewer scratches.
Agent look at Pietro and just shrugged before speaking " The guy's decent enough to honor his words, he said that there really is organising this crimes and its not just involving a robbery and riots."
Breathing deeply, the agent took a moment to organise his words before continuing " They are also involved in drug trafficking and arms smuggling. The snitch also mentioned that he had a hunch those people also had a hand on organ and human trafficking."
He lit a cigarette after saying all that and remember he still didn't says who it was and where is the mastermind is, " You may want to take a cigarette first before or after I will tell who it was."
Pietro took a piece of cigarette and then persuaded the agent to resume " Get faster and tell me already who it was. I've dealt with all kinds of people who did unspeakable things."
The SHIELD Agent blew off a trail of smoke then proceeded " He is Mayor of this city, name his Kerr Joss. He had been involved to many controversies and our database even suspect him being the younger cousin of a terrorist organisation inside this country."
" The whereabouts of this man is inside the mansion of a wealthy district. My men should have already sent you the information of this man. This organise thievery is only a small part of his tentacles and if you plan to move alone like you said, you will have to deal with private arm forces and don't forget he is still the mayor. He has networks that can protect him if necessary." The agent keep talking until his cigarette burned out, then only he turned his head only to see one of his men just standing there quietly.
The Agent stared back and the subordinate had to say something to alleviate the awkwardness " Umm sir, mr. Quicksilver had already left after we sent all the information."
The Agent's eyes kept twitching as he thought that Pietro is quiet because he is a good company and listen attentively.
Waving his hand to his subordinate he replied " Just keep reporting to me whatever happens at that place. At the same time, get ready to support Quicksilver if he ever need any."
" Yes, sir "
