Happy Hanukah! Hope you have (had) a good day! :)

VI. The Maximoffs Are Together

BING BONG!

Pietro grabbed Wanda and shot down the stairs to the door before Jarvis could even say anything. They weren't even down the last flight before Wanda used her magic to open the door. "Daddy! Lorna!" Squealed Wanda as Pietro put her down. She embraced her father and little sister.

"Hey Dad! Hi Lorna!" Pietro said.

"Hey kids," said Magnito without much enthusiasm.

Lorna was just the opposite. "Pietro! Wanda!" She gave each a hug so tight they though their lungs would explode. Pietro complained but Wanda let her little sister keep hugging until she was done.

"Come on in!" Pietro greeted. "You're gonna love it in here!"

"I'd hope so," Magnito muttered.

Wanda and Lorna hung back and began talking about girl things. The first thing Lorna said once they had some leaving was "We brought the big menorah!"

The Maximoffs walked in on Natasha who was reading some S.H.I.E.L.D files. She stood up and immediately pointed her guns. "What are you doing here, Magnito!" She snapped.

"Wait!" Cried Pietro and Wanda. Magnito rolled his eyes and held out his hand. Then he made a fist and Natasha's guns balled themselves up.

Natasha growled. "Those were antiques!" She dove forward and tackled Magnito the the ground.

"Nat! Listen!" Wailed Wanda. Pietro didn't care. He bolted forwards and snagged Natasha. Then he stopped but the momentum he transferred to Natasha sent her out the room, through the wall and into Ultron who began cursing loudly.

Magnito grumbled. "You call this fun?"

"They'll get used to you," answered Pietro.

Lorna looked uncertain. Having never been off Genosha before, she was overwhelmed by the whole other part of the world that remained to be explored. And right now she didn't know what to think of the girl that just pulled a gun on her dad.

The quartet heard some footsteps coming down the hall. It was just Tony and Steve arguing over tech and non-tech. Again. When the two saw the new comers Cap grabbed his shield but Tony (having no weapons) said "Wanda? Pietro? Did you just bring a circus in?"

"Very funny," grumbled Pietro. "Tell everyone in this tower that our dad and sister are staying until Hanukah is over. And maybe they'll stay here if they like it.

"Hell no!" Shouted Tony.

"Hell 'o what?" Called back Clint. He turned the corner and was facing Magnito. "Ummm… should I be concerned?"

"No," answered Tony. "Jarvis, broadcast the Maximoff addition."

"Yes sir," said Jarvis.

Lorna and Magnito glanced around. "What was that?" Whispered Lorna.

"It's my robot servant Jarvis," sighed Tony. "If I had a nickel for every time I've had to say that, I'd be a million billionaire."

"I thought you were already a million billionaire," commented Steve.

"According to my checkbook I only have a little more than 70 billion. Which doesn't feel like a whole lot."

"Are you serious?" Said Magnito. "I have never even seen 10 thousand in my life."

"WHAT?!" said Tony. "Don't think of robbing my vault for the money. I got the best security in the world and its not magnets so too bad."

After introductions Pietro and Wanda stayed with their father to help him tell the stories of Genosha. No one saw Lorna sneak off.

She wandered around for along time. Then she heard some grunting and peeked around the door it was coming from. Behind the door she saw a man beating at a punching bag. The first thing she noticed was that this man had a metal arm. Which was good. If he attacked her dad Magnito could protect himself by immobilizing that guy's arm. Lorna watched as he hit it so hard that it eventually snapped and smashed into the wall.

Without fault wrong for a break the man reached over and picked up another. He was about to hit it when he stopped. His gaze snapped towards the door and Lorna shrank back.

"Who goes there?" He said in a husky voice. Lorna wasn't sure if she was ready to meet this man or not. Was he nice? Would he hurt her or her family? "Come out." Slowly, she stepped out from behind the door and tip-toed inside. She stopped once she was past the doorway.

The man looked at her. "Who are you? I don't remember having any visitors today. Are you Pietro and Wanda's mother?"

"No," whispered Lorna. She explained what was going on. He listened to her and Lorna felt a bit of warmth fill her heart. No one ever listened to her. Her brother, her sister, her father, the people of Genosha. Unless it was extremely important or someone asked her a question she could answer no one ever listened.

"Oh cool," said the guy. He told his name and decided to give up on beating the bag. "So you're here for about eight days, right?"

"Yes."

Bucky nodded his head. "Have you ever been inside something complex before?"

"No. This is the first time I've been out of Genosha."

"So things are pretty new to you."

"Yes."

"Same. I just got my memory back. Was brainwashed for a few decades." When he said this, Lorna felt herself blush a little. This guy, Bucky, was quite similar to her.
"Why aren't you up with the others?" She inquired.

Bucky thought for a second. "Well I don't like Vision or Ultron. I try to avoid them as much as I can. I also have a grudge against Sam and I'm sick and tired of Tony and Clint's cliche jokes. Thor's pretty bad too. Pietro can be annoying too."

Lorna nodded. "Brothers are annoying."

"Don't actually know if I have any siblings. But oh well. Come on, let's go get something to eat. I don't know if you know what a fridge is or not."

That evening the Maximoffs cooked up a delicious fried dinner. Once they were done with that they set up the menorah. After saying the prayers Magnito let the oldest of his children light it. Pietro wanted to protest against Wanda going first but he thought better of it. Besides he got tomorrow.

As they watched the flame flicker for a moment Lorna glanced over at Bucky. She saw him twiddling his thumbs and staring at the ground. Maybe he was just lonely. She vowed to herself that she would make him happier during her stay.

Lorna is not really the daughter of Magnito. Yet she has his magnitizing power. Her parents died in a plane crash weeks after birth so no one knows her real name. She was adopted by the Danes who named her Lorna Dane. For a long time, she thought Magnito was her father because of the similar powers. Her X-(wo)man name is Polaris.

I got this all from Marvel's site. Look up Lorna for more.

I like the way that Lorna is Magnito's daughter, partly because I watched the 2009 animated series Wolverine and the X-men. Go watch it. It's an awesome little series.

Reviews will help me! Tell me how I'm writing! And all that blab! And throw out an idea too cause I need them for upcoming days!

I don't own Marvel or any partnership with them.
