"You're my son?" Pietro asked the boy.
"Unfortunately."
"I take it you and I don't get along."
"He doesn't get along with anyone anymore," said Rachel. "He changed."
"I haven't changed, Marvel Girl."
"Yes you have! You used to call me Rach, not Marvel Girl! Used to smile, but now you don't!"
"Why should I smile? We live in Hell. No one should smile and be happy."
"No one should be sad or miserable like you," sneered Pietro.
The boy huffed.
"What's your name anyway?"
"His name is Roic Maximoff," said Rachel.
"It is not!" barked Roic. "My name is Magnus."
"Magnus?" said Pietro. "Charles used to call my dad that. Do you have Magneto's powers?"
"Maybe I do."
"That explains your get-up."
"In honor of my grandfather. He fought hard. And gave his life to make sure we all survived."
"My father is dead too?"
"We're not sure," said Rachel. "He could still be alive, but we're not a hundred percent sure."
"So, Wanda's dead, Lorna's missing, Magneto is either dead or missing. Roic, or Magnus, whatever, here is my son."
He turned to his son.
"Who is your mother?"
"She's missing," said Roic.
"Who is she?"
"Doesn't matter. She's gone now. Just like the others."
"Goddammit, you piece of shit!" yelled Pietro. "Your father just asked you who your mother is, so tell me right now who she is!"
"I'll give you a hint. 23."
"23? You mean X-23? Laura?"
"Bingo! You got it right! What do we give him, Johnny?"
Pietro narrowed his eyes at Roic.
"Don't make me give you a spanking, young man."
"You have no right to do that. You're not my father."
"I will be."
"Boys, boys, calm down," said Rachel. "There's no need to fight. Roic, were are your younger siblings?"
Roic didn't say anything. Rachel sighed.
"Where are your younger siblings, Magnus?"
"Last time I saw them, they were in the Danger room. I don't know if they're still there. You could check."
"Thanks. Let's go, Pietro."
Pietro followed Rachel out. He took one last look at his son before looking away and left with Rachel.
"What's up with him?"
"I don't know. He was just like this one day. I'm worried about him."
"I think you should. Wait! Me and Laura had more kids?"
"Yes. Roic is your first born. He has your father's powers. Then you had twins. Then you had a little girl."
"How old are they? And you and everyone else?"
"The average age is 16-17. Pete and Hardy are nineteen. Bishop is twenty. Me and Roic are seventeen. So is Kate, Charlie, Marian, Arden, Billy and Tommy, Joel, Dan, and Shard. Jay, Rosine, Rad, Haley, T.J., and Mirah are sixteen. Hope and Johnny are fifteen. Your twins are fourteen and your youngest is eleven."
"So my youngest is the youngest in the whole group? Funny. I thought Jamie's kid Johnny would be the youngest. He was the youngest in my time. Before I came here I stayed with the Brotherhood and Tawny was the youngest. Just like her dad Todd. She was fifteen, while Randall, Sean, and Neena were sixteen. Aace and Liz were seventeen. Zane was eighteen."
Then someone ran fast and smacked into Pietro. Their arms around his waist. He looked down to see a little white haired girl with green eyes.
'My hair and Laura's eyes,' thought Pietro.
"Papa! You're awake! I knew you'd wake up soon! Roic was being mean and said you'd never wake up! But I knew you would!"
"Paula, that's not Dad."
Pietro looked ahead and saw two fourteen year olds. One was a boy with black hair and green eyes. The other was a girl with brown hair and blue eyes.
'These three must be my kids. Wow. Roic got white hair and blue eyes like me and my father. The boy was black hair like Wanda and Laura's eyes. The girl has Laura's hair and my eyes.'
"Hi, Dad from the past," said the boy. He was wearing black pants and a blue shirt. He had some blue in his hair like Wanda had some red. "My name is Warren. My codename is the Sapphire Warlock. I have the same powers as my Aunt Wanda."
"Really? You must be powerful."
Warren nodded.
"This is my twin Claws."
"My real name is Juana," said the brown haired girl. "Like my mom and grandpa Logan, I have the Regenerative Healing Factor, Superhumanly Acute Senses, and I have Bone Claws instead of Adamantium Claws because I never got Adamantium pumped into me like them."
"That's good," said Pietro. "I don't think having your bones coated in metal is good. They'd be pretty heavy."
"Grandpa said they were."
"Papa, up," said the white haired girl named Paula. She was tugging on his shirt.
Pietro picked her up and smiled at her.
"Hello, Paula. Nice to meet you. You're so cute."
Paula smiled.
"What are your powers?"
"They same as your, Papa. Super speed. My super hero name is Zoom."
"Super speed, eh? You must be really fast."
"I'm very fast! But not as fast as my cousin Tommy. And definitely not as fast as you."
"That's okay. You'll get fast as you get older, Baby."
"My real papa calls me baby."
Paula wrapped her arms around Pietro and buried her face in his neck.
"I miss you and Mama so much. Why won't she came home? And why won't you wake up?"
Pietro hugged her tightly.
"I don't know. But don't worry, baby. I'll make sure everything will be okay. I promise."
End of chapter fourteen.
The Maximoff kids Roic, Warren, Juana, and Paula are my OCs.
