As soon as I returned back to the brotherhood, Lance was already sitting down in the kitchen waiting for me. "So how was your date with Alice?" I rolled my eyes and got down to business. "Lance we need to talk." He nodded, "Alright, what's up?" I took a deep breath and let it all out, "I'm going to join the X-Men." I said as I looked down at my shoes feeling awkward. "WHAT?" Lance asked in disbelief.
"I'm not leaving you guys okay? I'm just doing this because Wanda's there." I explained. "Didn't Wanda try to kill you?" he asked concerned. "Well yeah but that bald head Xavier wiped out her memories so she doesn't remember me or Magneto." Lance shook his head with disappointment, "Don't tell me you're doing this for your father." I slammed my fist on the table, "HE IS NOT MY FATHER." Lance put up his hands to surrender, "Alright, alright, I'm sorry. Then why are you doing this?"
I lowered down my voice and whispered, "I'm doing this for Alice." Toad suddenly appears with Blob laughing like twits. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE DOING IT FOR SOME GIRL!" Toad laughed. "Magneto would have her killed if I said no!" I fought back. "That's enough, now the both of you knock it off!" Lance yelled, but the both of them continued on laughing. "Fine, have it your way." Lance rocked the ground until Blob fell on top of Toad, for the second time.
Lance rolled his eyes and faced back to me, "Look, I won't get in your way or anything, but is she worth it?" I smiled to myself then told Lance straight in the eye, "Would you do the same if it was the sake for Kitty's life?" Lance nodded, "Yeah, even though it hurts knowing that she's in love with some other guy." I agree, "Don't worry, I'll mess around with that Bobby guy and make sure he gets what he deserves." I winked. "Nah forget it I only want Kitty to be happy, that's all." Lance stood up and headed upstairs to his room, "You better start packing Pietro."
Lance was right. I headed upstairs to my room and started unpacking. As I was done, I lay back down on my bed and looked at the night sky outside of my window. I know Alice is worth it. If she didn't mean a thing to me I wouldn't have reacted back there when Magneto threatened to hurt her. But on the other hand, I feel happy to finally get to see him again. Even though he left me a long time ago, he's my dad, and I somehow wished he could be there for me before so that things weren't so complicated.
