Wildcat: It's okay. I forgive you. I know you didn't mean to bug me about the detail. I understand. And I'll try to put more detail. I hope you get to make your own account. You have some great story ideas and I bet you'll be a great fanfic writer.
Enjoy the next chapter.
Pietro stood alone on a cliff not too far from the mansion. He looked out, watching the ocean waves.
"Pietro?" He turned around to see Laura. "Are you okay?"
He looked away. "I don't know. I'm not sure what to feel. This is just too weird. I have clones."
"But who would want to clone you?"
"I bet Magneto did this."
"Your dad cloned you?"
"He always did experiment to make me a strong soldier. I bet he made the clones so he could have a powerful army."
"You don't know that for sure."
"There's one way to find out."
Pietro pulled out his cell phone.
"How long have you two been alive?" asked Rogue.
"I was born five weeks ago," said Q0.
"And you?" Remy asked Q1.
"I was born two months ago," said Q1.
"You're only two months old, but you look seventeen?" asked Todd.
"Well I am Maximoff's clone, after all."
"And being his clones, we have all his memories," said Q0.
"All of them?" asked Lance.
He nodded. "I remember playing with my sister when we were little and I remember the day she was taken away. I remember joining the Brotherhood and fighting the X-Men. But non of that was really me. It was the real Pietro. But I remember."
"We know we're not him, but every fiber in our bodies tell us we're him because we came from him," said Q1.
"Wait, if you look completely like Pietro, then why doesn't Q0 look completely like him too?" asked Kurt. "He's ten, not seventeen like you and Pietro."
"They weren't finished with us. There was a mistake and Q0 came out as a little kid instead of a teenager. They were going to age him, then wipe his and my memories so we didn't have Maximoff's memories and we'd think we were someone else."
"This is crazy," said Scott.
"We just had to deal with Apocalypse, now we have to deal with mad scientists and clones," said Bobby.
"This mess wouldn't have happened if the doctor didn't find Maximoff so interesting," sneered Q1.
"Don't blame Pietro for this," said Charles. "He didn't know he was going to be cloned."
"If it's anyone's fault, it's the doc who created you," said Logan.
"How did you realize you weren't the real Pietro?" asked Sam.
"What are the other Pietro clones like?" Tabby.
"When did you find out you were a clone?" asked Jamie.
"It all started two months ago," said Q1.
Flashback
Q1 was laying in a bed. He heard voices.
"He's waking up."
"Hello," said an African man. "My name is Ben Reilly. Don't worry about trying to take. You can't yet. You were brought into the world about a week ago. So your body is still forming. You've been heavily sedated so as to not hurt yourself. I know in your mind, you're a little freaked out and confused right now, but don't worry about that either.
Okay, in your head you remember yourself was Pietro Maximoff, Quicksilver. But You're not 're a replica of him created by me and my team. You're safe an okay.
You're phase five of the project, actually. The goal was to process a clone of Pietro Maximoff. Why him? Because, well, because of his mutant powers. And you are a rousing success. You're the best one so far. We're really- this is very, very exciting.
I know you may be confused with those memories, but don't worry. We have a psych team coming soon and you'll be stripped of all those memories and you'll have new ones implanted in no time. In fact, you won't even remember this conversation, the fact that you're a clone, or any of this."
Q1 was starting to get sleepy again.
"See, the reason Pietro Maximoff is so perfect for cloning is they-we-needed something stronger, more durable than the human genome. We needed something more. And you were it.
You're part of a launch-series of cloning experiments. Every one of you is a little different than the next. And each of you will be trained and/or experimented on for the government in search of, or in place of, the elusive Super-Soldier Serum. Yeah, you may be the next Captain America. Can you imagine? Can you-Oh. He's out. Okay, kid, you sleep. Tomorrow is a big day."
End of Flashback
Everyone was silent.
"So, you were made by the government?" asked Kitty.
"That's what I was told," said Q1. "Everyday, I had to train. Had to be perfect. Be a soldier. A weapon."
Logan's hand tightened into a fist.
"How did you get away?" asked Kurt.
"It happened a week ago," said Q0.
