PART ONE



Logan sat in the bar, fuming, over his fifth drink. He was no longer sober, but that was just the way he wanted. He hadn't been this angry with anyone since he can remember. That boy had broke her heart... had tossed her aside like a ragdoll... he wanted to kill the boy.

His chance soon came as that very boy walked into the bar and sat in the far corner. Way in the back where he was hidden by shadows. The boy didn't look to happy. Logan wondered why, seeing as though he had just managed to pull one over on the X-Geeks. Logan wouldn't let him get away with that.

Standing from his stool, Logan casually tossed a few rolled up bills onto the counter and sauntered over to the boy.

"Hey speed," Logan muttered.

"It's the Wolf," Pietro replied dryly, "Go away Wolfman, I don't have time to play fetch."

Logan grabbed Pietro by the shoulder with a grip enough to make a bruise and shook him slightly, "You had better make time." Logan's voice was icy and smothered in challenge.

"You boys wanna take that outside?" asked a waitress timidly, "My boss would kill me if I got blood on the chairs again..."

"Alright," Logan replied, "C'mon Speed."

Logan grabbed his arm and yanked him out the door into a dark alley.

Pietro knew what was coming. He'd smelled drunkeness the second Logan came near him. He didn't care. He welcomed it with open arms because he deserved it. He deserved every drunken blow that he was about to recieve and he took them with grace. He fell to his knees, his body unable to support him anymore. Logan's claws making three long, deep slashes in his chest and a blow to his head rendered him unconsciousness.

"Ooh shit."

It was two hours later when Evan found a slumped body in the side alley.

"Pietro.... Pietro?! Pietro!!!!" Evan ran over to the boy and looked him over. Slashes across his chest, head bleeding... maybe a concussion... quite a few bruises and a broken leg.

Evan gathered Pietro into his arms and left the alley on his skateboard wondering where he could take Pietro. The X-mansion was an option, but Evan quickly decided against that. This WAS Pietro that he was thinking about. The Brotherhood house? Well... the options were nil and this did seem the best place.

"Dudes?" Todd said to Lance and Freddy, "I got this bad gut feeling that something bad is about to happen."

"Bad? Like how?" Lance asked, "Are you in trouble or something Todd?"

"No man," Todd replied, "I'm cool. But something bad is gonna happen, yo."

"Just chill Todd. I think..." Lance was interupted by a knock at the door, "Hold that thought..."

Lance opened the door.

~*~*~*~*~

Evan stood on the doorstep of the Brotherhood house, holding Pietro in his arms. He knocked and, as he heard the footsteps coming to answer the door, he regretted coming. Now that he'd had time to think about it, Evan figured he should have treated the boy's wounds or took him to hospital or something. He was just afraid of what was going to happen to the young speedster.

Lance, Kitty's new object of affection, opened the door.

~*~*~*~*~

Lance was momentarily shocked at seeing the X-Man ......Evan whatshisface..... at his doorstep but that quickly faded as he caught sight of Pietro, bloody and unconscious, in Evan's arms.

"Todd!" he yelled behind himself as he took Pietro from the X-Geek, "Get in here!"

Todd ran in and, seeing Pietro, his jaw hit the floor, "P-P-Pietro!!" he choked out.

"Is there anything I can do?" Evan asked, looking worridly upon the silver-haired mutant.

Todd turned to him, seething with anger and glass-eyed, "It looks like you and your stupid X-Losers have already done enough!" Todd shouted and slammed the door in Evan's face.
