Author Ramblings: It has come to my attention that I haven't posted something for X-men in a long time so here is something I thought about. Hope you enjoy and review. This is pre-new recruits.

She walked. She walked to get somewhere. She walked for exercise. She walked to clear her head and get her thoughts in order. The thoughts in her head during this particular walk were of four boys.

The brotherhood.

Her first family in Bayville. And if she was honest with herself, her only family in Bayville. The X-men were nice but they treated her as a guest in their house not a sister.

She missed the boys. They were fun to be around, the mischief and trouble they all would get in. Even though they were probably the poorest people in Bayville they still had fun. She missed Pietro and his vanity and his ability to calm her down when she was mad. She missed Fred and his bear hugs that he gave to everyone, including her, in spite of, or as he says because of, her mutation. She missed Lance and his level head. She missed Todd and his jokes.

Pie-pie, Freddy-bear, Lancie-wancie, and Toddikins.

Her pet names for them. Now she had no right to call them anything. She heard a squealing noise from behind her. Lance's green jeep burned rubber past her. She saw Pietro throw something at her. She prepared to get hit with rotten fruit or maybe they chose something hard to cause injury. Instead a bouquet of red roses landed at her feet. Surprised, she picked it up. She read the card. She smiled.

Once a Brotherhood, always a Brotherhood.

Author Ramblings continued: I know there are only about ten complete sentences I there but the idea was begging to be written. SO here it is. Please review and give me your opinion.
