Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the crazy plot I made up and the characters I made up.

A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Also, Pietro wasn't bragging. He just meant that he had it pretty bad too. Would YOU want Magneto for a dad? Anyway on with the chapter.

Mutant Road Trip of Remembrance

Chapter 2

"I don't like remembering my past either. It's just too messed up. When I was little everything was ok. My twin sister and I lived with our mom. We didn't even know who our dad was. We didn't want to. When we were little we used to ask our mom. She always avoided answering. From what we could gather from listening to the locals, he wasn't the nicest guy in the world. We were glad we didn't know him.

"When I was seven I met my dad for the first time. Immediately I realized why everyone hated him. They were scared of him. He was a lot older than my mom. He was at least 53 then. Mom was only 35. She'd had two other kids like 5 years before us. Their dad got custody of them. Dad had this "plan", he always talked about. He said he'd tell us when we were older. Somehow we knew it wasn't good. We saw dad a few times a month after that. That is, until we were 11. Then he kind of disappeared. It hit mom hard. When we were visiting her parents, some one robbed our house.

"Then, a few months later, when things weren't getting better, he came back. He said that he had custody of us. Mom tried to protest, but he said if she didn't agree, he'd take her to court. She knew that she'd be fighting a losing battle. Even though my dad was disliked, he had money. Mom didn't. We thought at least we'd get to live with our dad, and see our mom, but we didn't. Dad left us with some "guardians" for the rest of the year. Then, on Christmas eve, he came back. He said he'd found a better place for my sister. He split us up. I don't know where he took her. Then, the next day, I told him I was going back to Mom. He said if I tried, something bad would happen. I didn't listen.

"When I got back to Mom's house the place was ransacked. Mom was dead. Stabbed. On the table there was a note. It said, 'You were warned'. I was ready to kill him. He never admitted killing her but I know I was him or someone who worked for him. Anyone could see that. Then another bombshell hit.

"My sister, Wanda, was missing. I guess she'd been missing for a while. My dad said she was dead. I didn't believe him. I knew that she had to be alive, but I never saw or heard from her. My world was just messed up. The two greatest people I knew were gone-"

"She's dead?" interrupted Tabby.

"I don't know. Don't interrupt. Anyway, I knew my dad was behind it. I had to find him. I was 12 then. While I looked, I was put in foster care. Most of the places I got stuck living were dumps. Then they sent me to this place in Ohio. It was this little farming community. All open space. I liked it. I was in 7th grade. They'd just made a junior high track team. My foster parents said I should try out. I did. Well everyone made it, because the school's really small and not that many people tried out. I was the star. I didn't have my power yet, but I was still pretty fast. Mindy, my foster mom, was the first one to notice how fast I was getting. It still wasn't super human, but it made me the track star. I could already beat most of the high school track team. The next year in 8th grade, I met this girl who'd just transferred from some school out of state. She said I looked familiar. She said one of her friends at her old school had a picture of someone who looked just like me. I asked her what her friend's name was.

" 'It was Wanda or something like that.' she said. Suddenly I was just so happy. It made me hyper. Then I realized something. My dad had lied. I don't know why. I was gonna ask her if she ever met a guy who looked evil and had white hair when I was called to the office. Mindy was there.

" 'Your dad called,' she said. I knew she meant my biological father because she always called my foster dad his name, Blake. 'What'd he want?' I remember her looking so sad when she answered. 'He wants you to go live with some other family in another state He says he'll send someone to pick you up after track is through for the year.'

"I was so mad then. Just when I was happy, my dad decided that it was time to make me move. That's when my power started to show. It was the last track meet. I was about to start when I saw him in the audience. I snapped. When the gun sounded, I took off. I think I broke the sound barrier along with the school records. After the race, he came up to me. I said. 'Dad, why do I have to leave?' He was so mad. He said, 'From now on don't call me dad. It's either sir or Magneto from now on. At 8 o'clock to night, your leaving.' I went back to my teammates. The great thing about that town is that they don't care if you're weird. They just excepted my speed. Some were mad I didn't go that fast earlier in the season. One of my friends said that then the other teams would've been too afraid to go against us. We all laughed and took a picture for the year book. Then that girl came up to me.

" 'I know that guy. He's the one who brought Wanda to my old school. She had abilities too.' Then she handed me a camera. 'That's got some pictures of her on it. It's also got a picture of the track team here.' Then she handed me a piece of paper. 'That's Wanda's address. Send her the picture of me with my boyfriend but don't try to see her. That Mag-not-so-neato told her that if she ever talks to you or visits you or you visit her, he'll kill both of you. Have fun in your new home.' Then she walked away. She reminded me of my sister. I don't know what happened to either of them. I did send the picture. However, I added a picture of me. Wanda wrote back saying that she's glad I'm ok. That was the only letters we ever sent. We were afraid Magneto would kill us.

"After that I lived I different states. My powers began to develop and most of the school I went to were big preppy schools where if you were different you were hated. So that's how I learned ho fight steal and cheat. It was the only way to survive at those schools. Well everyone knows how when I went to Evan's school after I framed him, Magneto came back, so that's my story." Pietro stopped, and leaned back in his chair.

"Yo, that wasn't sadder than Lance's story. It was about the same." Todd said. Tabby and Fred were laughing.

"Hey, what's so funny?" asked Lance.

" 'Mag-not-so-neato'? That girl's a genius! Let's call him that from now on!!" said Tabby.

"Actually, I was laughing about Pietro being on a school sports team," said Fred.

"It's not that funny!!" said Rogue.

"It was fun then. The school was a lot better than Bayville. The teachers knew each kid and they let you chew gum and they didn't like to give detentions. Also they had all these ways to make what you were learning better. Like taking a lot of field trips."

"Who's gonna go next?" asked Kitty.

"I will, yo. My life was pretty ok. I mean my parents were great. But I have my own reasons for hating road trips." Todd said.

A/N: Ok, I know it wasn't as sad as you probably thought. I want I apologize for how terribly boring and idiotic this chapter is. Please review!!! And remember this is my first fic so I'm not that good of a writer yet.
