A/N
Selen didn't know what to say. How could she be from Atlantis? It ws only recently proved real, from ancient documents in a Greek temple concerning the trade between the two countries. And most importantly the Small continent was destroyed by a catalytic event over 2 thousand years ago!
She squeezed Pietro's hand harder. Atlantis was never found, so how could she ever go home if Atlantis was her home? Selen let out a sob and buried her head in Pietro's shoulder. "Hey... don't cry." Selen looked up at Pietro. "I'm not crying. Do you see tears? No I thought so. I don't cry." And with that she slammed the door open, walked out and slammed it shut.
"Stupid Professor, Stupid Atlantis, Stupid abandoning parents, stupid Pietro, stupid mystique, Stupid Powers, Stupid Stupid STUPID!!!!" Selen muttered to herself. She was walking around the institute. She couldn't stand to be in that room any more. Selen saw a football beside the bench the she was passing. Selen usually punched or kicked something just to get steam out. Selen walked over to the football and swung her foot back and swung her foot forward. And hit nothing but air. She had swung so hard she fell right on her ass like Charlie Brown.
Pietro stood next to Selen as she lay on the floor swearing and kicking her feet. "ha ha ha ha . You should have seen your face when I pulled the football away from you." Pietro stuck out his hand to help Selen up but Selen just laid on the ground with her arms crossed across her chest. "Aren't you going to le me help you up?" Asked Pietro. Selen just shook her head. "Fine if that's the way you want it." Pietro dropped the football and stood over her and bent down. Pietro leaned over her face and stared straight in to her eyes. "If you won't get up then I'm gonna make you get up." Selen's voice dripped with sarcasm. "You can't make me do anything." Pietro grabbed her by her upper arms and hauled her to her feet. Selen became furious. Selen was sick of everyone. People telling her that if she stays with one group of people that if would be for the best, then another group of people says the same thing. "Damn it Pietro! Why do you all ways do that!" Selen screamed and marched off in the direction of home. Pietro easily kept up with her with a slow walk (Well slow for him).
"Pietro I'm not in the mood for you. Now leave me alone." She said and kept on walking. "Selen you can't leave. You're still sick. They don't know what's wrong with you but they say there's something wrong." Pietro grabbed her by her shoulder and turned her around. Selen's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Did you ever think about the things that have happened to me in my past to make me come to America? Also the side affects of the medicine I take to control these powers that I have." Pietro thought for a while then came to a conclusion. "No" Selen let out an exasperated sigh. I have been bopped from foster home to foster home in Scotland since I was eight. Each family didn't know how to handle me because I'm clinically depressed. And this medicine makes me act like I have ADHD. Can't concentrate on anything, can't focus. Okay?" Selen's Scottish accent was coming out heavily now. But Pietro had a gift to understand anything anyone said in any accent. "Oh so that's what was wrong with you. No wonder they wouldn't tell us." Selen rolled her eyes "Duh genius." And started to walk again.
"Hey, hey, hey you still can't go back." Pietro said Selen whirled around with her hands on her hips and stated perfectly clear. "And why not?" Pietro smiled broadly. "Because there's no one home to let you in and I have the key." Pietro pulled the key from his pocket and dangled it in the air. A cheeky smile crept up on her face. Selen jumped at the key with enough speed to tackle Pietro before he could move. Selen wrestled him for the key. They both twisted and rolled on the ground Laughing and yelling "It's mine! No mine!" Finally after some time Selen gave up and told Pietro he sucked. Pietro chuckled "now why is that?" Selen pouted because I can't go home and it's almost four and my favorite show is on. "And what show is that?" He asked smiling. Selen got her cheeky smile back and out of her mouth came "The damn teletubies. They're the best horror show. They're so damn scary!" Pietro laughed and pushed her over.
Two hours later after every thing had been sorted out and the brotherhood went home Pietro, Alex and Selen were watching the teletubies. "Oh my god Alex look the cute little bunnies. AAAAAAHHHHHHH they're so scary." Selen yelled jumped on Alex laughing. "Hey get of me!" Alex said and shoved Selen on to the floor and started to laugh. "Hey keep it down in there yo!" Todd yelled from his room. "I'm trying to study!" Pietro snorted. "More like trying to fail. I swear that kid studies so much and yet he fail almost everything." Selen smiled at Pietro. Pietro was handsome and smart. His hair was one of a kind white and those icy blue eyes. His eyes were almost clear. They were beautiful. She could almost drown in them. The way his face lit up when he laughed or smiled. She also loved how witty his remarks were. They showed intelligence. "Selen, Selen snap out of it." Pietro snapped his fingers in front of her face. "Oh what?" Selen said "Nothing you just kinda spaced out. That's all." Pietro said while studying her face trying to figure out what she was thinking about. "Dude you so looked like you were in love with the kid. You got this far away look and then you started to smile." Alex nudged her in the ribs. "You like him huh?" Selen faked a gasp and said, "I do not fancy him. He's just a friend!" and she got up and went to her room.
Right after Selen had left Alex turned to Pietro. "Dude she so digs you. She wants you man. She cute, Why don't you get with her?" Pietro shifted uncomfortably in his seat. The topic of dating wasn't his subject. Sure he had plenty of girlfriends, But those relationships never lasted more than a month. He usually got bored with them because they were either airheads or Cheated on him. And right now he wasn't up to cheated on by any girl. "No she doesn't." was all he said and then got up and went to bed.
Alex laughed at Pietro as her walked away. "He likes her. I know it."
