Pietro woke up in the X-Men's infirmary. He was bandaged up and laying on the bed alone.
The professor rolled in to the infirmary and over to Pietro's bed.
"Hello, Pietro. How do you feel?" he asked, friendly.
"Okay. I've been better."
"I'm sure. I want to apologize for Evan's behavior."
"You don't have to. It's okay. I'm not really surprised by what happened. It's no big deal. No harm done. Well, except maybe these injuries, but aside from that, nothing to worry about," Pietro said, grinning.
Charles smiled.
"You should feel proud," he said. "When Evan used his powers, you didn't give in and use your own."
"Yeah, I wanted to prove that I was good enough to be with Laura."
"I believe you have."
"Logan," said Laura.
"Yeah, kid?"
"Why did you save him?"
Logan shrugged. "It didn't seem right to let him get hurt. He put up a good fight and he stuck to the rules."
"Thanks, Logan."
"No problem."
Logan walked into the infirmary. The prof left awhile ago. Pietro was read a book. He looked up.
"Hi, Logan," said Pietro.
"Hey."
Logan walked over to the bed.
"Listen, kid, I just wanna say ya did good out there. You proved yourself. You can date Laura. But if you ever hurt her, boy, you'll have ta answer ta me. Understand?"
"Yeah. Logan, I'd never hurt Laura or let anything bad happened to her. I'd die if that happened."
"Alright. Well, I'll leave so you and Laur can talk."
Logan went toward the door then stopped.
"You know something?" asked Logan.
"What?" asked Pietro.
"For Magneto's kid and all, you're not half bad."
Pietro smiled. "Thanks."
Logan smirked, then left the room. Laura came in.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey."
She rushed over. Laura sat in a chair next to Pietro.
"Are you okay?"
"Perfect," Pietro smiled. "Never been better."
"I'm so glad," Laura smiled.
"So, what happened to Evan?"
Laura scowled. "That jerk had a chat with his aunt, Logan, and the professor."
"I take it you're mad at him."
"Of course! He tried to kill you!"
"What do you expect from an idiot like Daniels?"
Laura smirked. "Yeah, good point. He is stupid, isn't he?"
Pietro nodded.
"That's what he gets for messing with number one."
They were silent for awhile till Laura broke it.
"You're a great fighter, Pietro. You fought with honor."
"Thanks."
"I love you."
They both blushed. Laura put her hand over her mouth.
"I-I don't know why I-"
Pietro smiled. "I love you too, Laura."
Laura smiled too.
They kissed. When they broke apart Pietro said,
"I hope Wanda and the others aren't too worried."
"Oh, Wanda's here," said Laura.
"WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON DANIELS I'M GONNA-!"
"Wanda, calm down," said Kurt.
"CALM DOWN!? THAT FUCKER ALMOST KILLED MY BROTHER! MY TWIN!"
"What Evan did was wrong, yes, but hurting him won't solve anything."
"It'll make me feel better!"
"I wish you wouldn't get so angry. Someone as beautiful as you should not be so angry."
Wanda blushed. So did Kurt.
'Did I just say that out loud?' thought Kurt.
Wanda shook it off.
"Sometimes anger can help you survive."
"So can faith."
"Faith? In what?"
"Anything really. I grew up in a religious home. I went to church often. I learned to have hope and faith and to not get angry. Life is too short to hold a grudge. You should let go of your anger and be happy."
"It's hard to be happy when you spend eight years of your life locked up in the crazy house just 'cause you couldn't control your powers well," scoffed Wanda.
"How can you not be happy? Sure you were locked away for awhile, but now you're free. And you're surrounded by people who care about you very much. Friends who would do anything to make you happy and see you smile. Could you smile for me now?"
Slowly, Wanda's lips formed a small smile.
"There. Much better," said Kurt, he was smiling too.
"Kurt, there's something I have to tell you."
"Ja?"
"It's hard to say."
"Go on. You can tell me."
Wanda kissed Kurt. He stood there frozen for a few seconds. Then he kissed back. After awhile they pulled apart.
"I like you, Kurt. You're sweet, smart, and you're really cute. You are. I like you're pointy ears and blue skin. And you're a really great guy. I love spending time with you."
"Wanda, I. I like you too. You're beautiful, smart, and a very good person. I enjoy your company."
They kissed again.
Yay! Pietro and Laura can be together and Kurt and Wanda are finally together.
