Colossus POV-

I was training with the Brotherhood, and it was extremely different from the danger room in the X-Mansion. The only difference being the Brotherhood didn't had a danger room so I did what I could with what I could find.

I did some pushups on the ground, then lifted a few things I could find and bench-pressed Toad, who kept saying he didn't volunteer for this.

When I started to punch a punching bag, Pyro walked next to me.

"What do you want?" I snapped, my habits of disliking any of the Brotherhood, particularly people who abandoned the X-Men, surfacing. Then I realized I was like Pyro, because I had abandoned the X-Men.

"I'm just checking the boss' new investment." Pyro smirked, and I was sorely tempted to beat him up, just for that one remark. In the end, I just rolled my eyes and went back to punching.

"Well, maybe if your b*** of a girlfriend had died sooner..." Pyro began and I snapped. I didn't think, just punched him in the face. He flew three feet backwards, landing on his back unconscious, his nose bleeding and probably broken. "That felt good." I stated calmy as the other members of the brotherhood looked at me in fear.

Magneto approached me, asking, "Colossus, walk with me?" Though it wasn't much of a question. I walked with him, guessing he was going to lecture me about attacking Pyro. "Magneto I'm..."

"I don't care about Pyro he made his own bed, now I'll let him sleep in it." Magneto said coldly. "I want to talk about you about something else."

"What is it then?" I asked him.

"At some point we'll have to fight the X-Men and I need to know that I can trust you to do the right thing" Magneto stared at me, and I gave him a truthful answer, hopefully the one he wanted.

"I am doing the right thing fighting for you." I replied, wondering if it was truly the right thing.

"Good, but that means you cannot allow old friendships to get in the way." Magneto sounded ominous, and I silently promised I would never harm a friend, though externally I nodded.

Wolverine's POV-

I grunted as I clawed robots in the danger room, venting out my fury at Colossus' decision to switch sides.

That metal head backstabber I wanted him to be here right now so I could...

I got hit in the back by another robot, I turned around fast and lunged at it digging my claws deep in its chest and then I tore it in two.

How could he just turn on us that big piece of... I snapped again and ripped through robot after robot leaving nothing but scrap piles. I would kill that tin man.

Bobby's POV-

I stood outside the mansion, leaning on a tree. Jamie had entered my dream again, and fresh air normally gave me the clear head I desperately craved and needed. My hearing detected someone moving in the woods behind me, and I turned around, ready to fight.

"Who's there?" I called, and in reply a figure walked out of the bushes and it took me a second to recognize him; Colossus. "You're either very brave or very stupid walking here after what you've done." I wanted nothing to do with him, but a small part of me was glad to see my friend alright. Ex-friend now.

"I did not come here to fight you." Colossus said holding his hands up.

"I don't want to, either, but I'm willing to if I get ambushed by some of your new Brotherhood buddies. Speaking of them, why would you join them?" I sincerely wanted to know why he would ditch us. If it was because I hadn't been a good enough friend or...

"If I wasn't playing by Xavier's rules then maybe Jamie would still be alive." Colossus answered, but to me it was unsatisfactory and stupid.

"Jamie died for us, for Xavier! Do you think she would want you on Magneto's side? If nothing else, come back for Jamie!" It hurt me to bring up Jamie, as she had been a good friend of mine, but I wanted Colossus on the right side. It stung that we weren't enough, but hopefully Jamie would be. Colossus slammed me against the tree, and I felt my palms warming up.

"It was a mistake for Jamie to stay on this side! I joined the Brotherhood to make sure no one suffers a loss like I did." I wanted to punch and hug my friend at that moment, the raw pain entering his voice at the end. He was trying to be noble, but he was confused. And it was my job as a friend to help him, even if he hated me for it.

"Jamie died because the humans don't trust us, you're right. But killing them isn't the answer, and Jamie certainly wouldn't have wanted that. Both sides will suffer many losses if we go to war, and we might not win. If we make peace, no one else dies and her sacrifice isn't for nothing." Colossus, for a moment, considered my words, then fury returned to his eyes.

"She stayed here only because you gave her shelter when she had nowhere else to go." The way he said 'you' instead of 'we' made me hurt all the more inside.

"She stayed here because she believed in peace," I tried to explain to my friend, but this wasn't my friend anymore.

"How do you know what she wanted?" He growled, pressing an arm against my throat.

"She was my friend," I replied, missing her all the more in that moment.

"Go to hell, Bobby!" He snarled, and I shoved him away, barely managing that before his other arm came up to slam where my head should have been. I hurriedly moved away from him, though with no plans to run.

"You first!" I sent a blast of ice at him, that hit his steel chest. He stopped charging, and shifted back into his flesh-and-blood self.

"This won't happen today, Bobby," He turned and disappeared into the woods, and I couldn't find it in myself to go after him.
