Hello Readers, so I decided to post this chapter earlier than usual. I don't know, I guess I had a lot of time on my hands, which helped me to get this to you guys early. Anywho, hope you enjoy!

Chapter 14: Family ties

Two weeks had passed since the last encounter with the brotherhood kids. Those weeks were spent doing perilous training sessions with Proffessor Summers. The only time they had a break was on Saturday. But alas, the Jr.X were called to the head professor's study. They all fumbled out of their rooms like zombies because of Scott's hard-core training room sessions. Jake limped out of his room, followed by Adam.

"Ughhh! what now!" He whinned.

They continued to walk in a crowd down the hall. "You know Proffessor Scott's moddo,'you can never have too much Training," Renea teased.

They all started laughing. They turned a corner to get to the proffessor's study and saw Cyclopse standing right infront of them. They all jumped. "What's so funny." He asked. "Nothing." Cyclopse lead them to the room.

"What's this about?" Asked Kat,

"Are we doing more training?" Danny added

"No. We're welcoming a new member to the team." He answered.

"Oooooo! New recruits!" Rachel said excitedly,

Cyclopse opened the door and there were the Xmen and a very tall man who seemed to be made of some sort of metal. The Jr.X stared in awe. If there wasn't enough about the Xmen that made them seem totally cool, this just doubled it. "This is Piotr Rasputin otherwise known as Colossus." introduced Shadowcat. She stood next to him and smiled at him. "He's the new member of the Xmen." They went on to find out that a long time ago, Piotr's illegence was with a powerful mutant named Magneto, along with Pyro and Gambit. Once Piotr was freed from his contract he went back to his family in Russia and then came to the Xavier institute.

Later that day, the students all went off and did their own things. Tonya walked to the student's lounge. She sat down on the couch and enjoyed the once in a lifetime quiet in the room.

She thought about her parents, more specifically Evan. The man she recently found out was her father. Her aunt Ororo always reframed from talking about him though. Almost like he never existed. She figured there must be pictures of him somewhere, but she didn't know where.

Danny walked into the room, seeking the same things Tonya did, quiet and some time to think. She jumped when she heard him walking in. He sat down on the arm-chair. "Hey. What's up?" Tonya leaned back down and shrugged. "Nothing." He leaned back on the arm-chair.

He heavily sighed. Danny couldn't help but think about his father, if he had a father. Kitty said nothing about him the entire 5months they've been there. Kat wondered about him too, but neither of them had the nerve to ask her. If it's this big of a secret, then it must be very bad.

Nightcrawler, Gambit, and Colossus were in the Danger room, setting up for tomorrow's traing session. Nightcrawler stayed quiet and solemn, which wasn't usually the 'Fuzzy dude way'. He programmed the session into the Colossus stayed up with him in the contral room and Gambit tested the machines.

"Hey, Kurt what's going on with you?" He asked. Kurt turned his attention from the computer, and showed a distraught face. "It's... Adam, my son." He said heavily. Colossus looked more engaged. "I'm all ears."

"We haven't really connected since we found them agian. Everytime I try to talk to him about when we gave away him and Talia, he just changes the subject to training or the team or school. I just don't want him to hate me. I want him to understand." Piotr nodded. "I may not have a son, but i have a little sister about his age, you just need to find a way to tell him and make sure he hears it." Kurt nodded.

Meanwhile, Rain hit hard agianst the glass window, as kitty sat In the kitchen drinking coffee. She had just gotten off the phone with her parents. They asked about the twins. Kitty said they were fine. Dannielle walked in the door, drenched in rain. She sat down at the table, after taking her wet jacket off.

Kitty giggled. "Wow! it's raining Cats and Dogs out there." Dannielle rolled her eyes. "Hey- I went out to the store and the next thing I know it's pouring!"

This made kitty laugh even more. After rescueing Dannielle from the mountain years ago, they've always been great friends.

"My parents just called, they asked about me and the twins. I told them we were fine." Dannielle nodded and smiled. Then an idea came across her mind that made her smile unfold into a frown. "Are you really fine Kitty?" She asked. Kitty stared questioningly, "What do you mean Dannielle?" She asked.

She sighed. "Have you told them about Lance?" She asked.

Kitty suddenly thought about the first time she told Lance she was Pregnant, he just abandoned her and practically told her to raise the kids herself. He wanted nothing to do with them. Even after the twins were born, he never came by to see them or ever asked about them. "No...I-I can't. They aren't ready to find out."

Danny was about to walk into the kitchen, but stopped when he heard the two talking. "You're going to have to tell them sooner or later." He heard Dannielle say. "I will, when they're ready," Danny stood and processed what he just heard.

At the Brotherhood boarding house, Pietro sat on the couch staring out the window. Lance sat on the couch playing poker with Blob. Scarlet witch and Toad sat at the table. Tobby, Trina, Ashley, and Pieter sat on the steps.

Pietro grudgingly stared at the leafs falling from the tree outside. He suddenly became overrun with rage and slammed his fist on the table. Everyone jumped. "Gosh! I'm sick of those Xmen always beating us!" He shouted.

Ashley rolled her eyes,"here he goes agian."

"And how can you blame them? You're all a bunch of outta shape lugs!"he motioned towards Blob. "When was the last time we won a battle agianst those goody-goodies?!" He asked before anyone else could talk. Wanda crossed her arms and looked away. "And what do you suppose we do?" She asked.

Pietro sat back down and thought a minute, placing his finger on his temple. "We need a new team. A team of younger brotherhood mutants." Everyone turned and looked at him. "We have Tobby, Trina, and Ashley." Said lance

"Wait. What about me?" Whinned Pieter

"We need more, a lot more if we even stand a chance agianst them." Answered pietro. "Hold on. What about Lance's Kids?" Said Toad. "You mean Kat and Danny?!" Asked Ashley. Lance's eyes widened. "There's two of them!"

"Yeah, they're twins. Even I knew that." Said toad. Pietro leaned agianst the wall.

"What are their powers?" He asked.

"Danny can phase through walls and stuff, Kat has powers like Avalanche." Answered Tobby. "So we'll just recruit the girl, she's the only one of use to us."

"You really think she's gonna leave their pretty little mansion to come live in this dump?! Seriously, it's not like Avalanche has been much of a father to them." Trina stated. Lance glared at her.

"No. You're right Trina, but I have a plan, and there's no way she can say no."
