Leora was leaning on the rail of the pier. She hadn't known there was a Pier in Bayville until she was slightly disappointed that Maximof stood her up. She was looking at the water shine in the moonlight. She thought it was pretty as thought crossed her mind. She began to wonder if he deserted her. I mean she knew he came off as the player type, the one with a different girl everyday of the week. He also came off as the type to manage it well cuz he's fast. Then she began to wonder if he had met another girl on the way and ditched her for her. She looked up and saw a full moon in the sky and sighed.

           She felt like she was abandoned again only this time not by her brother but by a guy she actually started to like. This is probably made her grateful that they really hadn't started a relationship, she'd only end up heart broken. She closed her eyes to clear her mind.

"Hopefully he ditched me for someone prettier than Me.." She said.

"Is that what you really want me to do??" A voice said making her jump in surprise.

"Pietro.." She smiled softly.

"I'm sorry or being late.. my uhmm Sister came to town a little while ago." He said slightly wincing at that previous occurrence.

"I take you don't get along with your sister either??"

"Well, I missed her but she's rather angry with me. Dad had sent her away to control her out of control powers and well"

"She blames you no problem.. I understand" Leora said sitting down on a bench not too far away.

"So what were you thinking about??"

"That you might've ditched me for another girl. I mean you do have so much charm you don't know what to do with it." Leora said sarcastically.

"Yes, and I see my Maximof Charm is working on you!!!" Pietro said waving his fingers like a magic spell or something.

"I don't know if it is working.. I mean how can one be really sure the Maximof charm is working.. for all I know it could be the Leora Alvers charm.."

"Nah It's the Maximof Charm…" Pietro said. "I'm sure of it." He said.

"You know I might be going away soon." She said leaning on his shoulder.

"To where??" He wondered a loud feeling a little TOO content with this situation.

"New York.."

"I'm from New York." He said.

"Yeah.. but I'm going back because well.. I have a feeling that I might cause a lot of stress for Lance.." She said. "I mean He's temperamental and well I guess since I haven't given him a chance to talk civically to me.. and I probably won't.. I guess I should leave." She said.

"This usually isn't my line of work but just talk to him.. I'm sure it'll clear things up."

"Yeah… well, It's getting late and knowing Logan he'll be the one to throw a fit." She said standing up. For the first time Pietro noticed how much thought had put into this date. She had actually worn a dress for the first time since he's known her and her hair was pulled up and came down really curly.. and her face had some sort of sparkly stuff on it. To say she looked nice would be kind of an understatement, She looked really pretty, and he had no idea she had such nice legs.

"Uhm right…" He said lifting her with ease earning a giggle from her. Her eyes just seemed to sparkle when she laughed.

"I Was going to call a cab."

"This ways faster." He took off running down the street. Before she knew it he had stopped outside of the gates to the institute.

"You're right.." She said brushing her windblown hair out of her face. She stood up on her tip toe and kissed his cheek. "See you Monday." She said and walked up the institute. He stood there seeing the light turn off in her room and then slowly brought a hand up to his cheek with a slight grin present on his face… then he started his way back to the BOM.. slightly dreading the confrontations he would have with Lance.. and Wanda. But not as much as usual.

"Pietro.." A voice said as the metal Trash can  next to the Bom HQ rolled down the street. Pietro paused.

"Dad.." He murmured and followed the man who calls himself Magneto knowing he'd have to fake full alliance to Mystique after this conversation.

"Why would they be here at the Mall??" Scott wondered a loud as the whole group went to meet up with the Brotherhood members for a small rumble.

"Yeah.. all the good stores are closed." Kitty said.

"Kitty.." Leora groaned slightly.

"I know but it's true.." She said as they walked into the quiet mall.

"Let's split up.." Scott said quietly and everyone did so. Kurt happened to end up on the second floor in a clothes store and he saw Pietro leaning against the wall.

"Welcome to our store and you've just in time let's get you some things to try on." He said disappearing and started piling clothes on top of Kurt. "You're very lucky not many people could pull off that look." He said. (I just found that part in the episode humorous)

Everyone had been fighting.. well, Lance tried to get Kitty out of there before it was too late.. and well Leora new to the scene had to see what was going on. Only a moment later a girl with Black hair made herself present and tipped the odd in the Bom's favor. No matter what the X-Men did their attacks were reversed. Everyone was practically helpless.. and Leora felt worse seeing how she had done nothing from the beginning. She felt empty and was a sitting duck in the whole thing. She moved when one Of Scott's optic blasts went her direction but missed the debris that had been falling overhead.
