New story! Enjoy. One more thingbefore I get started,

I don't own the characters, or the places in this story. I also don't own the cover image, it's a still shot from the show, AND DON'T OWN THE SHOW!

The X-men and the Brotherhood were fighting. Again.

The X-men would say the Brotherhood started it and the Brotherhood wouldn't deny it, as a matter of fact they'd be proud of it.

It was really broken up into a bunch of duels, mostly ones the X-men could win easily.

Except Scott, he was fighting Pietro and having a heck of a time about it.

"You can't catch meeeeeeeee!" Pietro landed another punch. The guy was so annoying, Cyclops couldn't stand him! He would get Jean to hold him still, but she was a bit tied up with Quicksilver's sister, The Scarlet Witch.

He kept taunting and moving and hitting him. Getting faster, and faster, and faster,

Then he stopped.

He had been running around it circles and then he just fell over unconscious.

"Pietro!" yelled Wanda, she sent one last blast of energy at Jean and ran over to him. He wasn't breathing. She put her ear to his chest, Then her hands started to glow blue. She pressed them over his heart.

"God let this work!" Everyone has stopped fighting, the argument forgotten.

Pietro started breathing again. He opened his eyes.

"Did I win?" he asked in a slightly shaky voice.

"Yeah sure, you won. Let's go home." said Wanda, she helped him up.

"Wanda," started Rogue.

"What?" came the sharp reply.

"Is he okay?"

Pietro straitened up. "I'm fine, X-man." he walked, not ran away. With the rest of the brotherhood.


"It was just so weird Professor, like he had a heart attack." said Cyclops later.

"And what's weirder was Wanda's reaction." said Jean, "She was scared, but not surprised, like this had happened before, more than once."

"Hmmmm." said the Professor. "He got back up and walked away?"

"Yeah, but that's also strange, he walked not ran." said Cyclops.

"It's not going to do any good to worry or think about this, if he has some sort of physical problem, we can't help him unless he tells us." said the Professor. "You both may go."


"Please tell me ve're finally leaving!" groaned Kurt, it had been a few days since they had seen the Brotherhood. Kitty had dragged Kurt along to the mall her with her.

"Yeah Elf, we're going home, hey, thanks for not complaining 'till now. And helping with the bags."

"No problem Keety." he said. Then he ran into someone.

"Lance!" said Kitty.

"Hey, sorry." he said, he leaned over and started helping Kurt and kitty pick up the spilled contents of the bags.

"Lance! Come on! I got the stuff Wanda told us to get let's go!" it was Pietro, "Let the X-men pick up their own junk!"

"Somehow I thought you'd be less annoying after having a heart attack." said Kitty sarcastically

"I didn't have a heart attack, I'm fine." he ran around and picked everything up before Kitty had even noticed. "See? Watch." he started running around the mall. We went around, God knows how many times, Then, once again, suddenly collapsed.

"Is he okay?" asked Kurt. He looked around. He teleported them all away from the mall to where no one could see them.

"Lance, what's going on?" asked Kitty.

"I don't know, none of us do. Pietro will use his powers, then pass out, sometimes Wanda had to restart his heart. And we can't predict when it's gonna happen, because there is no pattern to it. He and Wanda seem to know what's going on, but they won't tell the rest of us." he check Pietro's pulse.

"His heart's still going."

"Keety, I'm going to really regret suggesting zis probably, but ve should take him back to zee Institute."

"Yeah, we're close enough you can bamf us there, right?"

"It'd take two teleports, but yeah.

"Hey wait." said Lance

"Lance, we have medical equipment at the Institute, to make sure he's okay until he wakes up. You just go tell Wanda, okay?" said Kitty, then she, Kurt, and the unconscious Pietro teleported away.


Pietro woke up in what looked like a hospital room, but Professor Xavier was there.

"Hey what's-" he tried getting up, his legs were tied down.

"I'm sorry to restrain you, but I had to, to ensure your safety." said The Professor. "Pietro,-

"I know what you're going to say." he said, then he sighed, "That my heart is failing, that it's been giving away for awhile, that I'm going to die."

Tell me if you like this, so I can decide whether or not to keep going.
