This story starts at the end of The Stuff of Villains. Some parts will be different from the cartoon series.

Wanda won't be brainwashed is this fic. And some other changes.

Enjoy the first chapter.

Pietro, Wanda, Lance, Fred, Todd, and Gambit were in the living room in the Brotherhood Boarding House. Wanda, Fred, Todd, and Lance were siting on the couch. Pietro and Gambit stood in front of them.

"Okay, boys. And Wanda," said Gambit. "Magneto has decided to make your old friend Pietro here the leader of the Brotherhood. You need some leadership and Pietro here will make sure you learn how to work as a team. You will do as he says and work hard if you want to join Magneto's new team."

"And what if we don't want to join Buckethead's new team," spat Lance. "Or listen to Benedick Maximoff."

Gambit shrugged. "Then that be your problem. If you don't wanna listen and be a good soldier then leave now. Or deal with the boss. I don't know what he does to people who don't listen to his orders, but I hear it ain't pretty."

No one said anything.

"We clear? Good."

He turned to Pietro.

"All your, kid."

Pietro nodded.

"Adieu."

Gambit left the house.

Pietro sighed and turned to his twin sister and old friends. Both Wanda and Lance were giving him death glares. Fred had a disappointed look on his face. It kinda said, "I used to look up to you." And Todd had a sad look on his face. He looked crushed.

Pietro sighed again.

"Okay," he began. "I know non of you want me here and I bet you all want to beat the shit out of me right now, but I'm here to train you so we can defeat the X-Men and make the world a better place for mutants. I know non of you will forgive me and I don't deserve forgiveness."

"You bet you don't!" yelled Lance.

Pietro nodded. "Yes, yes, you're right. I know you all don't like this, but it's going to happen. I'm here to stay until you're ready to be Acolytes and defeat those who stand in our way."

"I'm not doing anything for that monster!" yelled Wanda. "And I'm not going to take orders from you!"

"Non of us will listen to a back stabbing traitor like you!" yelled Lance.

"Yeah!" agreed Fred.

Todd stayed quiet.

Pietro shrugged.

"If that's how you want it. I told my father this wouldn't work out. He should have sent someone else to train you. I didn't want to come."

Todd looked hurt by that.

"Y-you didn't want to come back?"

Pietro was going to speak when Lance pipped up,

"Of course he didn't, Todd. Why would he come back when he could have the sweet life back with his daddy and those Acolytes at their base."

Pietro frowned.

"It wasn't that great."

"Yeah right!"

"No, really, it wasn't. Sure it was clean, had lots of food, didn't smell, and had a big T.V. with unlimited channels, but that didn't matter. All that nice stuff comes with a price. If you don't work and train, no special privileges. And those Acolytes are jerks. Gambit stole my stuff. Pyro would burn what wasn't stolen. Sometimes those two would beat me up. Sabretooth always beated me. Every chance he got. And Colossus, he was the worst. He just stood there and let it all happen. He never helped me when those three were messing with me."

"You deserved the besting they gave you," said Wanda.

"You really think that?" asked Pietro.

"Yes, I do!"

"We all do," said Lance.

"I see."

Pietro let his hands fall to his sides with a clap noise.

"Whatever. Don't listen to me. Do whatever you want. I don't think Magneto really wants me to train you anyway. He just wanted me out of his way."

Pietro ran upstairs at super speed.

He went to is room. He sat on his bed and looked through a photo album. Pietro looked at pictures of himself and Wanda when they were little and of the Brotherhood.

'I didn't want to betray you guys, but I had no choice,' thought Pietro. 'If I did, I'd never betray any of you. You guys are like brothers to me. And Wanda, you're my sister. My twin. I never wanted to hurt you.'

He put the album on his stand next to his bed and laid down.

That's it for now. I'll write more next chapter.
