The four members of the Brotherhood were taken back to the office building by Jill and Brad. They were led to the building that Lance remembered as the Rec room from before. They walked in where the four other members were getting to know each other. There was two guys and two girls. One of them had spike blond hair and was tall. He was wearing a red vest, black shirt, and jeans, and he looked about 16. The other guy was also very tall, and had brownish red hair. He wore a brown trench coat, black pants a grey shirt, and looked about 17. The first of the two girls was average height, and had long brown hair. She wore a t-shirt and jeans and looked 15. The last girl had short hair dyed green, she wore a t-shirt and a short dress, and looked 17.

"Lance." Pietro hissed, elbowing him in the side.

"What is it?" Lance asked.

"That girl, the one with the green hair."

"What about her?"

"That is Monica Doe." Pietro explained.

"So?"

"Well, her father used to work with Magneto in weapons dealing, you see when I was younger Magneto used to bring me around with him so he could keep an eye on me, and I used to hang around with Monica. She never knew it, but I always had a crush on her."

"So there is one woman Pietro Maximoff can't have." Lance smirked.

"Will you shut up."

"Everyone?" Brad interrupted the conversation as he called the group to the middle of the room. "This is Remy LeBeau." Brad explained gesturing to the taller boy with brown hair. "Nick Seer," He continued now pointing to the other boy. "This, is Rachel Baron." Brad went on, pointing to the brown haired girl. "And finally Monica Doe." Brad finished. "These are the Brotherhood. Todd, Lance, Fred, and Pietro." Brad explained to the other four, and introduced the Brotherhood.

"It is you Pietro." Monica cried running up to him.

"Monica hi, its been awhile." Pietro grinned hugging her.

"So these are the guys your dad sent you to live with." She turned to the Brotherhood.

"And here is what really bugs me." Pietro whispered to Lance. "She liked Daniels." Lance couldn't help snickering as Monica talked with Todd and Fred.

"Daniels, and you still like her."

"Yes, but don't mention him, maybe she forgot about him." There conversation was cut short however by Nick coming over and holding out his hand.

"Hi I'm Nick Seer." He held out his hand.

"Lance Alvers." Lance shook it.

"Pietro Maximoff." Pietro nodded.

"So you came from Bayville right?"

"Yeah." Lance responded.

"Mutant capital, is the blue demon sightings true?"

"Yeah, know the little runt personally." Lance grumbled.

"Wow, it must be weird living around so many other mutants, to be honest all of you are the first mutants I've ever met other then myself."

"Well I think I have had enough of the X-Geeks, I'm just glad to be out of Bayville." Lance groaned.

"Oh the X-Men?" Nick asked. "Right, aren't they some sort of super hero team destined to bring mutants and humans close together?"

"That's them, but they were turned down for this project so it looks like we're the ones bringing mutants and humans closer together."

"So what is your mutant ability?" Nick couldn't help but ask.

"They call me Avalanche, basically I just make earthquakes."

"The unexplained fault lines?"

"Exactly. Pietro is a speed demon, Todd has the physical attributes and abilities of a frog, and Freddy over there is the immovable, all powerful, super strong blob." Lance explained.

"Wow."

"And you?"

"Oh I call myself Sonic, I can manipulate sound waves. I can use them to push small objects, I can change frequencies and make sound louder or quieter, and I can use it to float a bit." Nick commented. As they were talking Fred and Todd spoke with Monica as Pietro looked on.

"So how long have you known Pietro yo?" Todd asked.

"Oh since we were kids." Monica responded.

"Did you know he was a mutant?" Fred inquired.

"Yes, but I don't think he knew I was, in fact I only just recently found out."

"Well what can you do?" Fred popped another question.

"Well I can camouflage (A/N: is that spelled right?) myself with my surrounding." Monica explained.



Pietro grew tired of watching them talk and hope they weren't saying anything bad about him so he went to meet the other two mutants.

"The name is Remy LeBeau." Remy said in a strong Cajun accent.

"And I'm Rachel." Rachel winked at Pietro with the comment. "And other then being dashingly handsome what powers do you have?"

"Well I run at speeds over 100 miles per hour." Pietro said proudly.

"I can transfer energy into objects and blow up stuff." Remy explained.

"Well I can materialize things through thought." Rachel demonstrated by closing her eyes and a beam of light appear in a orb, and withing seconds there was a small brick on the ground.

"Incredible." Pietro picked up the brick and looked over it. "And you can create anything?"

"No, only basic things, and stuff that isn't to big. Stuff with to much detail like money is out of my power." She laughed.



There was a bit more introductions and everyone was now familiar with each other, and were all sitting on the couch.

"How about a basket ball game?" Lance asked, pointing to the court.

"Sure." Nick jumped to his feet, and everyone else shrugged and got up.

"The four of us will stick." Pietro laughed as the Brotherhood went to one court.

The game got underway with a jump ball, that Todd easily caught. He tossed the ball to Lance who went a bit down the court, but was stopped by Rachel and Remy. Lance through it to a place where no one was and Pietro ran past and went down court. Fred picked up Todd and threw him towards the net, and as he flew, Pietro through the ball to Todd, who easily slammed it in the net. Remy quickly advanced down court with the basketball, and passed to Rachel, which was easily intercepted by Pietro. Pietro stood down at the other team's net waiting to pass it, when something that looked like the floor jumped up and grabbed the ball from him. Monica changed back to her normal look, as she had been blending in with the floor, and ran down court, dribbling the ball. Monica tossed the ball to Sonic who was slowly hovering in the air. He brought himself high enough to drop the ball into the net, and then dropped to the ground himself. This continued for awhile, going both ways, but with Pietro and Todd , the Brotherhood ended up winning. After the game everyone sat down and started talking, Pietro was by himself leaning against a wall. Pietro sighed but then nearly jumped ten feet when Monica appeared from next to the wall, where she was blending in.

"Hi Pietro."

"Hi, this is a big surprise huh?"

"Yeah it just sort of... happened. Hey remember last time we saw each other? I used to be so crazy about Evan Daniels." Monica laughed.

"Yeah." Pietro gave a fake chuckle.

"Whatever happened to him?"

"Oh he... turned out to be a mutant, joined with the X-Men."

"Really?"

"Yeah... small world... heh."

"Well I'm over that stupid little crush."

"Really?"

"Yeah... but you know your friend Lance looks kinda cute." Pietro sighed as Monica walked away, and he started banging his head against the wall.
