DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the Xmen evo people, but Cy is my character
"Cool, isn't it?" Pietro said.
"Yeah," Cy replied, looking around the clearing.
The space in itself was very open, but it was secluded in the woods. Most of the clearing was covered by grass, branches, and dead pine needles. To the far edge, however, there were large blue gray boulders. The ground dropped off just past the boulders. Cy walked over and saw a small river rushing by below.
"Come here often?" Cy asked.
Pietro walked up to her.
"With the guys I hang out with, yeah." He said, "I mean, they're great, but they get kinda annoying after a while. They don't know about this place."
"Have they ever tried to follow you?" Cy asked.
"Nah, and if they ever did, they couldn't keep up," Pietro replied.
"Hey, how'd you find this place?" Cy asked.
"Runnin' through the woods. I sorta stumbled into it. Almost fell into the river." He replied.
Cy tried, to no avail, to stifle her laughter.
"Yeah, it was kinda funny," Pietro said, standind on the edge of the largest boulder, acting like he was gonna fall off.
He turned back to Cy. Her deep green eyes met his blue ones. They were silent. Pietro broke the silence.
"We should probably head back." He said.
"Yeah," she replied. They walked back towards the house.
When they were a couple houses up from the brotherhood's, they noticed Toad and Lance around Cy's motorcycle. Lance was on it.
"Great..." Cy thought.
"What do ya say we take it for a spin?" Lance said.
"I say you don't take what doesn't belong to you," Cy said.
"Huh?" Toad and Lance said simultaneously, not knowing where the voice had come from. They then saw Cy and Pietro walking up.
"Where you been?" Lance said, "And what's with the new girl?"
"Out," Pietro said.
"Aw, did little Pietro get a girlfriend?" Toad said, flutting his eyes.
"Shut up," Pietro said.
"Get off the bike," Cy said to Lance.
"Make me," he replied.
Cy formed a small orb of energy in her fist. She tossed it at Lance, knocking him off the motorcycle. Cy grabbed the motorcycle to keep it from falling over.
"Aren't you touchy," Lance said.
Cy ignored him and boarded the motorcycle.
"See ya," she said to Pietro and drove home.
The next day at school went smoother for Cy. She had earned the general nickname of Archer. After school, however, was another story.
The last bell rang and the usual mobs poured out of the building. Cy came out slowly. She watched the X-men head home. She looked around for Pietro. She had seen him briefly as he walked out of Algebra II, but she hadn't seen him since.
Cy gave up looking and walked toward her motorcycle. She figured he had gone home already.
Cy decided to go for just a ride on her motorcucle. She remembered how she just cruised the highways back in Seattle. She hoped she could find a good spot in this Northern New York town. She boarded her motorcycle, not bothering with the helmet. She dug around in her bag and found her sunglasses. She put them on and headed out of the school parking lot.
Cy drove down the back roads at first. She came to a long road that probably connected to the highway. There were no cars on it at the time, but she could hear a truck in the distance. She pulled onto the tree lined road and raced down it.
Cy had only been driving for ten minutes when she heard a muffled beeping noise. She pulled over. She reached into her bag and pulled out the small communicator that Jean had given her. It continued to beep. She pressed in the button in the top.
"Hello?" she said, wondering who would be trying to contact her.
"Cy?" Kitty's voice said, "Good, it's you. I caould really use some help- Whoa!"
"Kitty? What's going on? Where are you?"
"Halfway between school and the Institute. It's Lance and his buddies." Kitty gasped.
"I'm coming," Cy said. She turned around and headed for Kitty's location.
"What's a matter, Kitty-cat? Toad got your tongue?" Lance said, rolling his eyes back and causing another small tremor. Something suddenly forced him into a tree. He looked and saw a silver arrow pinning him to the tree by the shoulder of his shirt.
"You don't mind if I cut in, do you?" Cy said. She was standing near her motorcycle. She had another arrow loaded in the black bow she held. It was aimed at the ground.
"Where'd you come from?" Toad said while helping Lance pull the arrow out.
"Around," Cy said, "Now leave Kitty alone."
"Chill, we were just having some fun." Blob said.
"You call this fun," Kitty said, phasing up from the ground.
"Just leave her alone," Cy said.
"Fine," Lance said, finally free from the arrow. "Besides, this was getting boring anyway."
Lance, Toad, and Blob walked away like nothing had happened.
What was that about?" Cy asked.
"I don't know," Kitty said, "Random need to be jerks?"
"No kidding," Cy agreed, "You should probably be getting back to the Institute. I'll give you a ride."
"Thanks," Kitty said, putting her hair back up in her usual ponytail. They boarded Cy's motorcycle and drove to the Institute.
"Thanks again." Kitty said, dismounting the motorcycle at the front gates of the Institute.
"Cool, isn't it?" Pietro said.
