"No way are you putting that thing on me." Pietro yelled as kicking his feet

He was being held down by some guy named Logan and they were trying to put some stupid band on his ankle. He had heard about those things. No way were they putting it on him.

Suddenly though he felt drowsy he looked over and say that Ororo woman had given him something. He felt resentment as the world faded to black.

When he woke up they were pulling in to the driveway at home. He felt groggy and disoriented. He pulled up his jeans on his right leg and saw a cooper band around his ankle. He got out of the car and try to use his speed but nothing. He ran like a normal person.

He looked to his left and saw his mother staring at him. He felt such resentment for her.

"Go inside Pietro you are not going anywhere. We have a lot to talk about."

The boy stormed into the house followed by his mother. He stopped once they were in the living room. His sister wasn't there it was dark out she probably went out with friends.

"Why did you let them put this on me?" He screamed at his mother

"You are out of control! I don't know what to do any more. This is the only thing I could think of till you left."

"What do you mean? "Till I leave"?" He said his face getting angrier

Magda looked at her son with a guilty face. "I have enrolled you to go to Professor Xavier's school in the fall."

"I knew you couldn't stand me. You have been looking for anything to get me on since I have been here. You are always on my case. He was right you can't stand me. Well I don't care I hate you too!" Pietro shouted his face contorted in pain.

He rushed up the stairs with his new speed level.

"Pietro!" Magda yelled after her son when he didn't reply she sank down to the couch and put her head in her hands and wept.



Pietro sat in his room playing with the new attachment trying to get it off. No matter what he did it wouldn't come off finally he gave up and leaned back on his bed. He heard a fidgeting with his doorknob. Then a pounding and his sister shouting "Open this door now or I will bust it open."

He got up to unlock the door. His sister almost ran him over barging in.

She got up in his face and started shouting "What the hell did you do? Mom is on the couch staring off into space and you can tell she has been crying."

Pietro glared right back at his twin "I don't care if she cries."

He started walking over to his bed and sat down on the edge. "Just tell me what the hell is going on okay! Where did you guys go today?"

"We went to Xavier's school for rejects and dear sweet mom registered me for school. She also got me this nifty anklet." he said sarcastically jacking up his pant leg.

"What is that thing?" Wanda asked her brother staring at the band that encircled is ankle.

"It takes away my powers. It was her idea too that's why she was acting weird on the way up there."

His sister sank to the floor and looked up at her brother. "When is she sending you to Xavier's?"

"In the fall."

Wanda jumped up and hugged her brother. "I don't want you to leave."

"Why did she even come back for me if she was going to ditch me later? I guess she will be really happy when I am gone." Pietro told his sister bitterly

"I'm sorry Pietro. I think she feels this is the only way she can help you."

Pietro gave a bitter laugh "I remind her of father that is why she hates me! I don't care anymore. At least when I lived with him I knew where I stood. He didn't pretend to care about me when he didn't!"

Wanda looked at her brother and didn't know what to say. He had once again hardened his heart just like when he first came back.
