Reconciliation

Elizabeth pounded on the door in front of her. She waited, tapping her foot. She couldn't believe that Remy had punched him. She pounded a few more times. Finally, Crystal swung open the door, "What!?" She snapped at the purple haired mutant.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes, "I need to talk to Pietro."

"What for?" Crystal was rather short with her boyfriend's old flame.

Sighing heavily, Elizabeth pushed past Crystal, pushing her into the door, as she walked into the room. She saw Pietro on the bed, icing his left eye. The two stared at each other. Finally, Elizabeth spoke up, "Leave us alone, Crystal." She demanded.

Crystal looked at her boyfriend for an approval, and Pietro nodded to her. Elizabeth waited until she heard the footsteps leave the room, followed by a door shutting. She sighed, and sat next to the platinum haired mutant. She folded her hands in between her knees, looking at the wall in front of her, "What happened?" She finally asked him.

Pietro lowered the ice pack, and stared at her, "What happened?" He snapped, "Your boy toy hit me!"

Elizabeth turned her head to glare at him, "Well, apparently you had insulted me, am I correct?"

He sighed, and shook his head, "I have nothing to say to you,"

"Look, Pietro," Elizabeth began, "I thought we had a truce? You and I agreed we'd be friends. I have been over you since the day you broke up with me," She turned towards him, "You cheated on me!"

"You assumed I cheated on you!" He growled.

"Don't lie to me Pietro! I'm not stupid! Please," She looked away from him, "Don't insult my intelligence! People even saw you two together numerous times!"

"You believe those schmucks over me?" He snapped, standing up.

Elizabeth looked up at him, her eyes wide with shock. They were arguing as if they were still a couple. "How could you, Betts?" He asked her.

She stood up, facing him, "We can't be together! We would not have last through our relationship! It wouldn't work!" She almost screamed, clenching her fists.

Remy walked through the hallway towards him and Elizabeth's room. He stopped as he saw Crystal standing outside of Pietro's room door. She turned to look at him, "What's going on?" He asked her.

"Elizabeth and Pietro are fighting in there," She crossed her arms, "I heard yelling."



Remy walked towards the door, waiting for his girlfriend to come out of the room.

Elizabeth turned away from Pietro as he continued to yell, "Betsy, we were practically the same person! We had passion in our relationship!"

She had her arms crossed across her chest, tapping her fingers onto her arm. She sensed him walking up to her from behind; he finally placed his hands on her arms, "Betsy please, I hate it when we fight." He gently told her.

Elizabeth snapped herself away from him, and turned to face him. She had a look of disgust and anguish, as she leaned towards him, "Don't touch me!" She hissed. She composed herself, "We are not a couple, Pietro. Like I said, we're only friends," She cleared her throat, "But in order for me to be fair, I want that wench to respect my friends, and not cause any problems on this trip!"

She finally turned, walking out of the room, slamming the door behind her. She dodged Crystal, almost running into Remy. Elizabeth looked up at him, as he grabbed onto her arms gently, "You alright, chere?" He asked her.

She heard Crystal walk into the room, and finally she nodded at her boyfriend's question, "I'll be fine, love." She answered, "I just want to get to bed."
