"So, you're mini Quicksilver?"
Pietro turned around and there was a big, muscular, dark skinned dude with black hair and brown eyes. There was an M tattoo over his right eye. Next to him a girl with the same skin color, but she had short, blond hair and blue eyes.
"I am? And you?"
"The name's Lucas Bishop. Call me Bishop. This is my little sister Shard."
"Nice to meet you, Pietro," said Shard, smiling.
"Hi," said Pietro, he smiled too. "So, you two aren't related to any of the original X-Men."
"No," said Bishop. "Our parents were killed. We joined the X-Men to stop the Sentinels from killing other innocents. Energy absorption is my power. I can absorb any types of energy directed towards me."
"Now that's an awesome power to have."
Pietro looked at Shard.
"And your powers?"
"Light Force Blasts," said Shard. "I can absorb ambient light particles from my environment and transsub them into blasts of raw concussive force."
"Cool."
"Thanks."
"Pietro, there's someone who's dying to see you," said Rachel.
"Okay. Let's go."
Present
"Lance," said Kitty.
"Yeah," said Lance.
They were both in the back garden enjoying the nigh sky.
"Do you ever think about time? And about the future and what could happen?"
"Not really. I only worry about now. Not then or what could happen."
"I didn't time about it too much then, but now, ever since Pietro was sent someway in time, I've been thinking a lot about the future."
"Please don't mention Tro."
"Sorry, Lance. We all miss him too. And hope he's okay."
"He is. He's Quicksilver. He's escaped death so many time I've lost track."
"Kay. Anyway, I've been thinking about the future. What'll be like. If we ever get married and have kids."
"I know we will."
"Oh? Okay. Then tell me, what do you want? A boy or a girl?"
Lance thought for a second.
"Well, a boy would be nice, but I wouldn't mind a girl."
"That'd be nice."
"She'd look just like you," said Lance, smiling. "She'll be beautiful. She'll have your face, hair, and eyes."
Kitty smiled. "She can have my face and hair, but I hope she has your eyes. I love your eyes."
"I love your smile."
"I love you."
"I love you back."
They kissed.
"Davy?" said Betsy.
David turned around quickly. His cheeks were bright red.
"B-Betsy! Hi! Wha-wha-wha-what is it?!"
"You oaky?"
"I'm fine!" said David in a high pitch. He clear he throat and spoke normal. "I'm fine. Really. Aside from what happened to Pietro, I'm good."
"I'm sorry, Davey. I know you and him were good friends."
"Yeah."
There was silence.
'Come on, David,' thought David. 'You and Pietro agreed you both would tell Betsy you had feelings for her so do it.'
"Betsy."
"Yes?"
"I want to, uh, what I'm trying to say is, uhh, I, uhm, uh, I really. Oh, I can't say it!."
He walked closer to her.
"Can I show you instead?"
"Sure."
Betsy's eyes widened when Davids lips met hers. Then she closed her eyes and kissed back. David was surprised too.
'Oh my god! He's kissing me!' thought Betsy.
'Oh my god! I'm kissing her!' thought David.
They kept kissing
Future
"So," said Pietro. "Who wants to met-Ahh!"
Someone had jumped on his back.
"Found you!" said the person.
"T.J., get off him!" ordered Rachel.
"Who died and put you in charge?"
T.J. got off and Pietro got a good look at her.
She was blue! She had blue skin, dark blue/black hair with white streaks, yellow eyes, pointed ears, a prehensile tail, and three fingers on both hands.
"Wow! So you're T.J., huh," said Pietro.
She smiled. "Yeah. T.J. Wagner. Nocturne is my code name."
"I knew it! You're Kurt's kid!"
T.J. nodded. "Both Nightcrawler and the Scarlet Witch are my parents. Which makes you my uncle."
"Wow. Kurt and Wanda. So, T.J., what are your powers?"
"I have a lot of different powers," said T.J. "I have Heightened Agility and Reflexes, Night Vision, Micro-Suction Discs like my dad, and Hex Bolts and Probability Fields like my mom."
"Nice powers, Teej."
"Funny, you just called me the name you're future self calls me."
"Really? Hey, do you know where I am now?"
"Uh, no. I, uh, gotta go. See ya."
"T.J., your brothers were looking for you," said Rachel.
"Then I better find them."
She left.
"Why didn't she want to tell me about my future self?" Pietro asked Rachel.
"I'll tell you later. I promise. Now I want you to meet someone."
They went into the entertainment room.
"Pietro, meet-"
