"We could of been back by now." I said as we were stuck in traffic, with me looking at Wanda as she was looking out the window. "Still thinking about that dead end?" I asked, with her nodding. "We'll find him, he is the hardest person to find after all." I said, with her looking up as we heard an explosion.
Stepping out as everyone started running away, I looked up at the top of the bridge, where I spotted a man using his powers to control the flames. "Pyro." Wanda said, with me looking at her.
"I take it he's a member of Magnetos Acolytes?" I asked, with her nodding. "Then he's a target." I said, with Wanda and I stepping forward, where she used her powers on him, knocking him off. I watched as he grabbed hold of a wire above us, where something hit me in the head. Catching it, I saw that it was some sort of keychain.
Looking up as Wanda walked over to me, I saw Pyro shoot his flames. Looking at where he had shot, I wrapped Wanda in my arms and took the blast as the container exploded. As we both flew over the edge, I tossed an arrow up and caught us. Looking up, I saw a van coming down on us as the bridge was started to give away.
Swinging out of the way, we watched as it fell past us. Getting grabbed, we looked up as Jean stared pulling us up. Landing on the ground, I looked around for Pyro as I set Wanda down, with him missing. "Are you two ok?" Jean asked, with me turning to face her and Scott with me already knowing that Storm was flying around putting out the fires.
"We'll live." Wanda said, twisting the water out of her coat, drying herself off from the rain.
"Storms got everything under control." Scott said, looking at us. "Was that Pyro after you two?" He asked as he approached us.
"Yes, he was delivering a little message, from my father." Wanda said, shrugging her shoulder away from Jean as she had placed her hand on her.
"Magneto, what kind of message?" Jean asked, with me looking at her then back at Wanda.
"He wants us to stop looking for him, and his errand boy, my brother." Wanda said, with me following her.
"But... Pietro's not hiding, he's back with the brotherhood." Jean informed, with me looking at Wanda as she turned to face them as she couldn't believe that he was back in plain sight.
Later that day
Reaching the house of brotherhood, I walked with Wanda to the front door that was opened by Todd. "Baby cakes, you came back to me!" Todd said, with me kicking him back in, not liking the way he was talking to her. Walking into the living room, I looked around.
"Where is he!?" Wanda questioned, with me looking at Todd as he was now leaning against the door frame.
"Pietro, hehe, hiding in the closet." Todd said, with me walking over to it. Wanda ripped it off, with me grabbing him and pulling him out. I pushed him back, wither I tossed the arrow at his feet, freezing him in place.
"Alright Pietro, where's Magneto?" Wanda asked as she walked forward.
"I-I still don't know!" Pietro said, waving his hands at me. "Wanda, no lie, he only contacts me when he needs me!" He said, with me looking at her.
"What's this?" She asked, showing the key chain that Pyro had dropped.
"How am I suppose to know, it looks like a ski lift ticket or something!" He said, with Todd picking it from her.
"Arrows? Hey, must be Mount Arrows!" Todd said, looking at Wanda as I walked past him and out of the house. Once outside, I crossed my arms, waiting for Wanda.
Hearing a scream and a crash, I turned and saw Wanda walking over to me. "Lets get out of here, I don't want to catch something." She said, with me nodding as we got back into the car and took off.
The next day
"We should be there in half an hour." I said, reading a book I had picked up, this one was called Spirits and Spells. Wanda was sitting next to me, while I sat by the window. She had her head on my shoulder, reading the book with me.
"Quite the view." We heard, with Wanda looking up at the person.
"What?" Wanda questioned as I wanted no part of the guy.
"Going up to ski?" He asked, with me rolling my eyes as he was horrible at hitting on her.
"No." She said, with me knowing she was getting angry.
"I'm a ski fool, baby cakes!" The man said, with me looking at him as I recognized that name, where I saw Todd's teeth.
"TOAD!?" Wanda yelled, where her entire body was coated in her aura.
Todd's image turned back to normal, with him shrugging his arms. "What gave me away?" He asked, where she used her powers and tossed him out, with me rolling my eyes at him. He could be anyone now, and that was a pain.
Later
Walking out of the cart, the wind picked up. Seeing Wanda's Scarf lift off her neck, I grabbed it before it could get too far. "Here." I said, turning her around and tying it around her properly. "There, now the wind won't blow it way." I said, with her looking up at me. "What?" I asked, with her smiling and leaning forward, kissing me on the cheek.
As we reached the cabin, I spotted some snow boards. Walking over to the counter, I held up two fingers, with the clerk nodding. He turned around and used a very long tongue to grab them, with me getting disgusted at that. "TOAD!?" Wanda yelled, where she ended up tossing him out the window. "Disgusting!" She said, with me hopping over the counter and grabbing two clean snow boards and walking out with them, the people watching, too scared to do anything.
Once we got outside, we hooked ourselves up and started looking around. Wanda hit my arm, where I looked at where she was pointing, with me seeing Pyro hop onto a ski lift. "Come on!" I said, with us skating over there and hopping onto the next lift.
Looking behind me, I tried to find Todd, but with an Image-Inducer, it was going to be hard to tell who he was. "Any sign on him?" Wanda asked, with me shacking my head. "Good, I don't know how he's changing form, and I don't want to know." She said, where I started thinking on how he got it.
"He most likely stole it from Kurt, he's the only one who has an Image-Inducer." I said, looking at her, with me seeing Pyro taking off behind her. "This is our stop!" I said, grabbing her and jumping out, with us taking off as soon as we landed.
Once we reached a small hill, we stopped once we saw a giant metal dome. "Magneto." Wanda said, with me nodding.
"We found him." I said, just as a small ball flew above us. "GET DOWN!?" I yelled, where we were both hit with a gas. I caught Wanda, who took me down with her as we both blacked out.
Later
Opening my eyes, I found myself in a chair, facing a man of metal, Sabretooth, Pyro and the man who made things explode. "So, what's your names?" I asked, looking at them.
"You do remember me, correct?" The man in the trench coat asked, with me nodding.
"Ya, I helped Wanda take you down." I said, with Sabretooth huffing. "Something to say?" I asked, looking at him with a smirk.
"Shut up, you couldn't take any of us on as you are." He said, with me rolling my eyes.
"True, but still, Tin Can, trench, names!" I said, looking at them.
"Big man is Colossus, and this guy is Gambit, and you could call me-"
"Shut it Pyro, I wasn't talking to you." I said, looking at him as he got mad.
He started up a fire, only for Gambit to hit his hands with his staff. "Easy, remember what Magneto said, no one touches him." He said, with me smirking. "We keep an eye on him until either Magneto or Master Mind comes in to do the job, after that, we leave, capishe?" He said, with Pyro putting his flames away.
"Master Mind, some kind of telepath?" I asked, with them staying quiet. Seeing the doors open, I watched as another man in a trench coat walked in, with the others walking out. "So, you must be Master Mind, not a good name if you're taking orders from someone." I said, with his eyes glowing blue and started waving his hands.
After a minute or two, he stopped, looking shocked. "Impossible, you are repelling my powers?" He asked, with me smirking at him.
"I trained my mind to reject people like you, trust me, I prefer to keep my memories the way they are." I said, with another person entering the room, with me seeing that it was Magneto.
"Master Mind, leave." He said, with him doing just that. He landed on the ground, standing before me. "I find you, interesting." He said, with me narrowing my eyes at him. "You, a human, were able to steal the heart of my daughter, someone who used to have no control over her powers, until you came along." He said, with him removing his helmet.
"I'm surprised you didn't just kill me, seeing as how much of a threat I am to you." I said, with him looking amused. "What did you do with Wanda?" I asked, with him looking behind him, then back at me.
"She's safe, and that is why I wanted to talk to you." He said, confusing me. "I want to help her, remove the bad memories and replace them with good ones. I know it seems bad, but its for her own good." He said, with me gripping my chair.
"Then what happens, you get her to join you, the brotherhood? She wouldn't fit in with you or your groups. She's perfect the way she is, and you changing her to fit your sick scheme just makes you look like the worst father of the year." I said, with him glaring at me.
"You are one to talk." He said, with me frowning once he said that. "You prefer not to think of your father after what happened, when he went mad and started killing your family." He said, with me narrowing my eyes at him. "You were lucky to have gotten away, only because you ended up cutting his leg off as he tried getting you while you were in the shed." He said, with me glaring daggers at him.
"You don't know what happened that day!?" I yelled, trying to break free so that I could punch him in his face. "My father was a good man, and if that Inhuman didn't control us, if he didn't come there that day, then none of that would of happened! I would of never found Wanda, I would of never been there for her!" I said, with him placing his hands on mine, getting into my face.
"Ah, but it wasn't an Inhuman, was it." He said, confusing me. "I know of the one responsible, the mutant who twisted your mind for fun. I too had an encountered him, for it was I who killed him." He said, shocking me.
"It was an Inhuman, S.H.I.E.L.D. said so them selves!" I said, with him standing up straight.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. hides the truth of everything, you should know this by now." He said, with me shaking my head at him.
"Why did they send you to Bayville in the first place, when they already knew of the existence of mutants?" He asked, with me frowning at that as I never thought of it.
"I don't care, because of S.H.I.E.L.D. I found Wanda, and I won't turn my back against them, or her!" I said, with him turning around.
"We will see." He said, leaving the room and me.
Later
Seeing Gambit walk past the main door, I yawned as I was getting board. Hearing something behind me, I smirked and looked at them, with me seeing Kurt and some ski guy that looked like Duncan. Kurt grabbed me and teleported, freeing me as we were standing next to the chair.
"Thanks for the save, lets get to Wanda!" I said, with me leading the way. Once outside, we looked both ways before heading down the hall. Looking at the shadow that started coming this way, we entered the next room, with me seeing that it was a storage room. Seeing my bow and arrows, I smirked and made my way over to them, with me picking them up.
Once the person passed, we started leaving, with us continuing down the path. Once we reached a door that looked a lot like the one I was in, I opened it, with me seeing Master Mind messing with Wanda's memories. Taking aim, I shot him, with the arrow going through his shoulder. He screamed in pain as we ran forward, with me kicking him away.
Kurt teleported her out, with me taking her into my arms. "Come on, lets get out of here!" I said, with me following them to the exit, only to stop once Magneto and the others ran in. "Kurt, get us out of here!" I said, with him nodding and grabbing me and the ski guy, teleporting us out of there.
Later
Seeing Wanda wake up, she looked up at me as I held her in my arms, laying down in bed with her. "Hey." I whispered, with her smiling up at me. She crawled up and kissed me, one that I returned. Breaking the kiss, she laid back down on my chest, a happy smile on her face.
"You know, we're still here!" Toad said, with Wanda jumping up in shock, where I took the pillow and tossed it at him, hitting him in the face.
"What are you two doing here?!" She yelled, angry at both Toad and Kurt.
"They helped us get away." I said, with her looking at me. "Your father lead us into a trap, one that we weren't ready for." I said, with her holding her head.
"I... remember." She said, looking back at me. "I think its best not to look for him for a while." She said, with me nodding. "I'm tired." She said, laying back down. "We can leave in the morning, and go back home. I miss our home." She said, making me smile as she said that.
"We'll leave, you two need your privacy." Kurt said, with me looking at him as he and Toad teleported away.
