"Why are you blowing things out of Proportion?!?!" Leora frowned looking out of the window to Scott's car.

"I'm not.. I'm just warning you about the brotherhood. They're usually unfriendly to us as well as most of our troubles."

"Right sure and if I happen to hang out with them anyway??" She asked when Scott pulled up to the High school.

"Yeah, Scott, It's not like you can keep her from doing that!" Kitty said. "And they're not all that bad." Kitty said.

"I'd just be careful, cause' to be truthful none of them would fit too well with our kind."

"You know what, Scott, Now I can see why Tabitha left.. There are just too many Rules and with you as leader it doesn't help too much more!!!" Leora said. "Now, if you don't mind I'd like to pick and choose my own friends.. and if they happen to be with the Brotherhood then so, be it. And stay out of business." She slammed the car door in Kurt's face as he was getting out.

"Ow!!" Kurt Rubbed his nose.

"Scott.. She's right though." Amara said. "She does have a mind of her own.. even without being able to read her mind I can see that." She said getting out of the car after Kurt. Scott looked at the steering wheel of his car then got out of the car Immediately seeing Lance Alvers heading his direction with the Entire Brotherhood following him.

"I don't see why we put up with this place.. I could easily blow it up and Poof.. no more school." Tabitha said making sure to Rub Fred's bald head.

"Yeah, but this place attracts all the best flies, Yo!" Todd said snagging one in front of Lance's face, earning a glare from the dark haired boy. "What I was starvin'."

"Right…" Lance said.

"Speaking of food." Fred started.

"So Pietro where exactly is this babe you were telling us about yesterday." Todd said watching Tabitha struggle with her locker.

"She's here.. I just saw her tell off Summers." Pietro said.

"Hey if her powers are any good maybe she can join the brotherhood.  We don't have enough girls in the group." Tabitha said blowing up a locker. "Wait.. this isn't my locker."

"Hey Lance!!!" Kitty grinned walking up the Brotherhood group.

"Hey Kitty.." Lance said as the rest of the group made a face behind her back.

"Do you like want to sit with me at lunch or something…"

"Something.." Todd answered for him.

"Hey Kitty…" Pietro decided to ask her a question.

"Uhmm Ora' Looking for you… but now isn't a good time to bother her cause she's like trying to get Jean and Scott off her back and well, to give this to you.." she hand him a note which he quickly took.

"Thankyouverymuchbuti'vegottago!!" He said and took off down the hall.

"Great.. yet another lovesick member after one of the X-Geeks.." Todd said. "Yo, I'm out.." He left too. And the Bell rang signaling Homeroom.

"So Like I'll see you at lunch??" Kitty asked Lance.

"Uhmm… I'll think about it.." He said and she walked away a little. "I thought about it and yeah…"

"Great!!" She grinned and walked away and gagging was heard behind Lance, from Fred and Tabitha.

          Leora had been studying in the library, thinking about the Speed Demon. She had to admit he had a certain charm for a skinny speed Demon… but it's all livable. To be truthful had been thinking about using Pietro to get back at Scott Summers for trying to keep her from making friends. Kitty has been free to date and flirt with Lance from the Brotherhood so why the hell she couldn't even talk to the speedster?? Then out of nowhere a bunch of papers were flying all over the library an books were falling off the shelf, then it all stopped moments after the cause of it all stopped sat on the table.

"Wanted to see me huh?" He asked holding up a note. She looked at it and shook her head.

"Sorry Speedy but that's not my handwriting…" She said and he frowned.

"Are you serious??"

"Nope.. it's not… I don't put hearts to dot my I's… I think someone's trying to set us up, Maximof…" She said.

"And here I thought it was the Maximof charm working it's magic on you.." he said kicking at her long hair on the floor.

"Too bad the speed demon doesn't think as quickly as he speaks.. you just sat there and admitted to being slightly interested in me."

"Not really I was just trying to be sarcastic, because in truth I'm too fast for you."

"Yeah, too fast until I decide to knock something over in cutting you off and nearly crushing you."

"That hurt you know!!" He said putting a hand over his heart.

"Right… Like this??" she playfully tried to punch him but he moved and pushed her out the chair, which in turn was a bad move because she ripped her jeans near her thigh. "Pietro!!!" She said. "These were my favorite Jeans!!!"

"Oh Well" he said. "Shouldn't have tried to punch me."

"Something tells me all this conversing is out of character for you?" She stood up and inspected the tear.

"Pretty much." He watched her look over the tear and just smiled watching her frown. Then he quickly gathered her books, put them in her book bag, and handed the bag over to her. "If it's bothering you that much, Tabitha could probably help you destroy them." He said hoisting her on his back and zoomed out of the library. In seconds he was outside of the brotherhood house.

"This place is a mess…" She said.

"We try.." He put her down.

"I'm impressed… here I thought you were a skinny good for nothing. Who couldn't lift much." She said

"Glad I made that impression." He opened the door to be met with Tabitha coming down the stair blowing up Todd's bathroom again making it flood. She noticed Leora's odd Stare.

"What?? He refused to give up his mouthwash…" She said.

"I wasn't complaining…" Leora said.

"So you're the new X-chic." Tabitha said. "Whoa-ho Love the jeans…"

"Yeah. Well, Pietro made me rip them!!" She said as he just shrugged.

"You sure he didn't try to rip them off of you?" Tabitha said.

"Now that you mention it.. I'm not sure.." Leora turned on Pietro.

"Well, I've got to get my daily fill of torturing some pathetic soul.. be back in 20 minutes." He said and dashed out of the house.

"He'll be back in 20 seconds…" Tabitha said slashing more holes in Leora's Jeans. "Perfect!!" She said. "Now your ready to party!!!" She said. "Hey Lance Taking your Jeep!!!" Tabitha called from outside.

"Tabitha!! I got a date tonight!!" He poked his head out of the window.

"I'm sure Kitster won't mind!!" Leora called back looking at the window.

"Lance/Leora?!?!" They said together. "What the hell are you doing here?!?! I asked you first.. no you didn't!! Yeah I did!! Oh!!!" They growled in frustration and Lance came outside.

"How'd you get here??"

"Train.." She said with A LOT of attitude.

"Why are you here??"

"Not that you ever cared about me before, but I came for help Lance Alvers.." She said just as Pietro came back.

"Help with what??" He watched her flip her Ankle length hair over her shoulder.

"The same reason you left me home with those people we call parents!!!!" She growled at him while he gave her a confused look. "I Figured you'd be confused IF I ever met you again." She said and stomped her left foot as the ground shook violently drawing out Fred and Todd.

"You too??"

"Yeah me too I would've told you if you hadn't been in a rush to leave me." She said. "I hope you don't expect me to be happy that I found you again ok.. because as far as I'm concerned, I hate you.." She said her green eyes flashing angrily. "See you tomorrow Pietro.." She said walking away after making sure she snapped a few trees in half. "Tabitha.." She added walking to the pay phone to call a cab that arrived minutes later. The cab took off leaving Lance still in a sort of stupor. Then he jabbed Pietro in the gut without warning.

"You've been hitting on my sister?!?!" He said in disbelief. "I don't believe this!!" He walked inside the house around Fred.
