-The next morning in the Brotherhood House-

Wanda walked out of her room and immediately noticed that Raven was still home. She had apparently slammed the door so hard the molding along the doorframe had fallen off. Since it hadn't been moved Wanda could only use her expert detective skills to assume that Raven still hadn't come out of the room.

Wanda then walked down the hall and could tell that Regan had long since left for school, for her bedroom door was always closed while she was home, but once she left Lance would leave it open, because he's a guy and guys tend to forget to close things. Sue us!

She descended the stairs and began her trek to the kitchen.

Upon entering the kitchen a righteous anger struck her, "Hey! I eat on that!" there on the kitchen table slept St. John Allerdyce spooning his brand new sword in his lucky red Speedo. She promptly hexed him off.

As he hit the ground his eyes shot open to see his blade impale itself in the floor a quarter of an inch away from his nose. He shot up to his feet and smiled, "Hello Sheila! Want some breakfast?" he asked trying to pull his blade out of the floor.

Wanda rolled her eyes, "You know you can't take that to school right?"

He finally pulled it from the floor and looked at Wanda with a hurt expression on his face, "What am oih gonna do? Oih can't leave her here… maybe if she were a bit smaller…" as he finished speaking the sword in question disappeared only leaving the hilt, "Well wouldja look at that?"

Again Wanda rolled her eyes, "Idiots and their toys."

Wanda walked out the back door to get some fresh air but noticed her brother asleep on the ground clutching the knife he threatened the Sorcerer Supreme with. She walked over to him and kicked him, "Ladies please there's enough Pietro to include your mom."

Wanda promptly hexed him, "Mental images!"

Pietro looked up at his sister and collapsed back onto the dirt, "You're not Christy the Cheerleader, or Lisa the drama-club girl, and their mom."

Wanda shook her head, "Go get Captain No-Pants, Todd, and Freddy. I'm going to find Lance." Pietro sighed then sped inside. After Pietro left Wanda could hear faint snoring coming from the garage.

Wanda hexed the garage door open to see Lance in full uniform asleep on the hood of his car. "Strange could have at least put them in bed." She walked over to the sleeping landslide and actually shook him awake, she'd never admit it but she respected Lance. When she had first arrived, he was the only one not afraid to stand up to her… sometimes.

Lance shoot up and slammed his head on an engine hoist, "Dammit! Owe! Son of a bitch!"

Wanda chuckled, "Nice vocabulary you've acquired."

Lance rubbed his forehead, "If I still had my helmet that wouldn't have been a problem."

Wanda felt a gust of wind and walked outside to see her brother standing there. Then the back door swung open revealing a still half naked St. John and a fully uniformed Freddy. Wanda examined her now conscious minions and quickly deduced that she was one minion down, "Where's Todd?"

As soon as she finished her question they could all hear a panicked scream, and then a loud thud as Todd fell off the garage roof and landed at their feet, "Owe! The ground always been this far down yo?"

Lance finally walked out of the garage and looked at his team, "New mission for today," the other Brotherhood members looked at him, "Find Johnny some pants."

St. John cackled, "You're just jealous mate. You wish you had a lucky red Speedo."

Lance began rubbing his temple, "Pietro?"

"On it," Pietro disappeared then a whirlwind attacked St. John. Once the whirlwind stopped St. John was fully clothed and Pietro was standing next to him, "And the Brotherhood claims another victory," he turned on his heel to walk back inside, "Todd call the school tell them I'm not coming in today."

Wanda grabbed him by the shirt collar, "Oh no you don't, you're going to school," she turned to Lance, "And you're coming up with a job plan."

-Several hours later at lunch-

Lance slammed his fists on the table, shot out of his seat and exclaimed, "I got it!"

Pietro looked at him, his mouth still full of sandwich, "Crabs?"

Wanda let her face drop into her hand, "I keep pace with flipping idiots…" she looked at Todd, "Literally." She looked back up at Lance, "What do you have?"

Lance smiled, "We're gonna start our own Detective slash Protection Agency."

"So we're gonna beat people up for money yo?" Todd asked.

Freddy slammed a fist into his palm, "Finally. We're playin' to our strengths."

St. John picked up his tiny carton of milk and lifted it into the air, "A toast to our fearless leader!"

-Meanwhile across the Cafeteria-

Anna looked over at the Brotherhood table as Lance shot up, "What the hell are they doin'?"

Kitty looked over as well, "Like, I don't know, but it totally can't be good."

Sam and Bobby looked up from tearing through their lunches, "Are they toasting?" Bobby asked a chip hanging carelessly from his mouth.

Sam shrugged, "Ya gonna eat that?" he pointed to Bobby's cupcake, "Trade ya mah cookie for it."

Bobby nodded furiously, "Okay!"

Anna slapped her forehead with her hand, "Idiots. Mah squad is made up of idiots."

Warren looked at his squad leader, "Hey!"

Kitty pushed her tray away obviously so disgusted that eating was now the last thing on her mind, "Like why do we eat with them again?"

Anna shook her head, "To make sure they don't get into trouble."

Bobby's head shot up, "Hey!" cookie bits flew out of his mouth, "We don't need you to baby-sit us!"

Sam looked up after he shoved the entire cupcake into his mouth, "Yeah we do."

Warren pointed past the girls, "What are they doing now?"

Anna and Kitty turned around to look at the Brotherhood.

-Meanwhile at the Brotherhood Table-

As the Brotherhood finished their toast, one somewhat familiar body walked over to them.

Lance peeked an eyebrow at the blonde haired blue eyed boy, "What do you want?"

The boy looked at all six of the Brotherhood members, "You guys Mayor Darkholme's kids?"

Todd hopped onto the table and crouched down, "Who wants to know yo?"

The blonde boy looked the green teen up and down, "Name's Clint Barton. My old man said we're having dinner with you guys tonight. I just wanted to meet you guys before hand."

Each Brotherhood member was stuck in shock, "How come nobody told us about dinner yo?"

Freddy shrugged, "Mystique probably just forgot."

"Or she didn't tell us so she could yell at all of us at once when we get home," Pietro chimed in.

"Oih hope there's pie," St. John sat there slightly drooling from his thoughts.

Clint eyed the boys carefully, "Okay… well I just wanted to stop by and say 'hi,' before dinner. So… later." With that he quickly took off.

Pietro nudged his sister, "Can you believe that guy Wanda?" he chuckled, but Wanda remained silent. Pietro looked over at his sister, "Wanda?" he waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Hello, Earth to Wanda."

Wanda finally snapped out of her stupor and promptly hexed all five boys to the ground, "Can't a girl think in peace!"

-A few hours later at the Boarding House-

Lance had been working on his Challenger in the driveway, so he was completely oblivious to the outside world. That is, until he got thirsty. As he got up off the hard concrete he saw a car parked behind his. He dismissed it as Raven's dinner guests. He walked inside and towards the back of the house for the kitchen; upon entering the kitchen he saw something that thoroughly rocked his world.

"Police Commissioner Barton!" he exclaimed. Lance looked around and grabbed an old soda bottle. He smashed it against the wall and brandished it as a weapon; "Bring it on old man! You're not taking the Brotherhood alive!"

As he finished yelling all of the occupants in the kitchen could hear a door slam and footsteps on the stairs. "Don't worry mates oih saved the stash!" Then they could barely see St. John running out of the house holding a potted plant.

Raven shook her head in embarrassment, "It's actually a small bush of basil. He's, surprisingly, an excellent cook… among other things."

Commissioner Barton smiled, "Really? The boy has other skills?"

Raven nodded, "He's written a book in his home country, and he's a very skilled with upholstery."

Commissioner Barton let out a deep belly laugh, as he looked Raven over, "You don't say."

Lance looked on at the display, "Oh man I'm gonna heave."

Raven smiled, "I'm sure you've already met Lance."

Commissioner Barton nodded, "Yeah, I arrested his brother, Allerdyce," he stuck out his hand for Lance to shake it.

Lance shook his hand, "Yeah… good times."

At that moment the Maximoff twins walked in through the back door, "And these two, are Pietro and Wanda."

Clint stepped forward to shake Wanda's hand, "Hi."

"Hi," Pietro intercepted the hand, "Stay away from my sister."

Wanda hexed her darling brother out the door, "Excuse him, his body is fast but his mind is slow."

Clint smiled.

"I'm gonna go find Johnny, before he ends up on the highway during rush hour again." Lance thoroughly ruined the moment.

Commissioner Barton smiled, "That Lance is a good boy, troublesome but he's got a good head on his shoulders."

Clint rolled his eyes. Wanda smiled at him.

Raven smiled at the compliment, "It's why I put him in charge."
