Chapter 9 - A new housemate.
Wanda sighed as she looked at the coffin which held her own mentor. Despite the fact that only four people showed up to the funeral, herself and Todd included, it was a lovely service. Besides herself and Todd, the two other funeral goers was a middle-aged man and an old woman. She looked at the coffin again and closed her eyes. It was like she was losing her best friend, in a way, she was.
"You okay?".
Wanda glanced over to where Todd was standing. She smiled slightly, as much as she hated to admit it, he didn't look too bad once he got cleaned up and put on decent clothes. Though she'd never have said it out loud. She sighed.
"Yeah...i think so", she said with a small smile, "it..it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be".
They looked up when they noticed an old woman step up to by the coffin. She sighed and looked at it, then glanced at Wanda and Todd.
"It was a nice service", she said quietly, her voice old and cracked, "You two knew her well?".
"Yeah", said Wanda with a sigh, "she..she was like a mentor to me. I, i think i would have been lost without her help".
The old woman smiled and nodded.
"Sounds like Agatha", she said, "i haven't seen her for a long time. I was an old school friend of hers. It was only by chance i found out she had died, i was reading the obituaries. I thought i'd better come, i knew how secretive she was, i feared that no one would come".
Wanda nodded sadly, then looked at Todd.
"Come on, we'd better get home before my brother burns down the house", she said quietly.
"Okay", said Todd with a sigh, walking off with Wanda.
"Wait!", said the man, walking up to them, "i need to speak to you before you go. I take it you're Miss Maximoff?".
"I am she", said Wanda, narrowing her eyes, "can i help you?".
"I'm Harold Winston, Agatha's lawayer", he said with a sigh, "we managed to contact her son, he couldn't make it to the funeral as he is in Spain at the moment, but he'll become the owner of the house and the shop".
"Okay", said Wanda, "why should i need to know that?".
"Well...Ms Harkness did leave you one thing in her will", he said with a sigh, "it's in my car for you".
Wanda blinked and looked at Todd, who shrugged.
"Okay then", said Wanda, following the man to the car park, along with Todd.
The old woman watched them leave. She glanced around, she was all alone. She sighed and shiftshaped into her normal form. She ran a blue hand through her red hair.
"I'm going to miss you Agatha", said Mystique with a sigh, "you were one of the few people i could trust in this world, and one of the even less that could trust me back. Not many people put their faith in someone like me..thank you".
She sighed and glanced around before shifting into the form of a crow. She squaked and took to the air. At least it was nice to see that Wanda had gone, even if it was slightly disturbing to Mystique that Todd had gone with her, and Wanda had made no attempt to kill him. She swooped Northwards, towards the latest place she called 'home'.
Meanwhile, Harold Winston was digging through his car. Wanda and Todd stood off to the side. Wanda sighed. What could Agatha possibly want her to have?.
"Ah, here we are!", said Harold, pulling out a carrying case.
The case mewed.
"Ebony!", said Wanda with a smile, stooping down to look inside the case, sure enough, there was the small black cat. Ebony started to purr when he saw Wanda.
"Who's Ebony?", asked Todd.
"Agatha's cat", explained Wanda, "kind of her..familiar".
"Well he's YOUR familiar now", said Harold.
He rummaged in his car again and brought out a piece of paper and a pen.
"I just need you to sign here to say that i have carried out Ms Harkness' wishes", he said.
Wanda nodded and signed the papers. Harold checked them, nodded and gave her the carrying crate.
"He's all yours", he said, with a smile, then muttered under his breath, "God help you".
Wanda hadn't heard, she was too busy fussing over her newly aquired cat.
A while later, both Todd and Wanda were walking up the steps of the Brotherhood house.
"Home sweet home", said Todd with a smile.
"Yeah", said Wanda, "hey Todd, thanks for coming with me. It..it helped alot".
"Any time", said Todd with a smile.
"And thanks..for, y'know, not hitting on me at all, i could have done without it", she said with a small smile.
"Hey, i can't be that charming all the time", said Todd, breaking into a grin, he nodded to the carrycase, "how do you think the guys will react?".
"I don't care", said Wanda with a smile, "but i'm sure they'll love him".
"What in the name of all things holy is that?".
Wanda took back her earlier words as Lance stared at Ebony, whom she was currently holding.
"His name is Ebony and he's my cat", said Wanda,patting Ebony on the head, "Agatha left him to me in her will".
"Okay then, i hope you look after him", said Pietro, "he's your responsibility, not mine!".
"Yes mother", said Wanda, rolling her eyes.
"Hey, i just don't want another repeat of the goldfish incident", said Pietro.
"That was YOUR goldfish Pietro", said Wanda with a sigh.
"No it was no....oh wait, yeah, it was mine", said Pietro, with a chuckle "my bad".
Lance sighed and went over to pat the cat on the head. Ebony's ears went back and he let off a low warning growl. Lance pulled his hand away.
"I don't think it likes me", he said.
"HE just needs to get used to you", sai Wanda, "he likes me..and Todd".
To prove her point, she handed Ebony to Todd, who purred contentedly and settled on his shoulder. He then jumped off and sat on the ground, washing his paw.
"Well i'm goin' ta get changed", said Todd, "bein' in nice unwreaked clothes makes me feel uncomfortable".
As he hopped upstairs Wanda sighed and patted Ebony on the head.
"I'd better go get changed too", she said, "i'm starting to look a little too much like Rogue for my liking".
She walked off to her own room, leaving Freddy, Pietro and Lance alone with Ebony. Pietro walked over to him and knelt down a few feet away. He held out his hand and started to make 'puss puss' noises. Ebony glared at him for a second. He made a low growl and suddenly transformed into a huge cat- creature with enormous claws. The creature snarled at them and steped forward. Pietro gave a shriek of terror that made Todd's girly scream seem manly and dived behind Fred.
"What the heck is that thing?!", said Lance, running behind Fred too.
"Why the heck are you all hiding behind me?!", asked Freddy, "i'm not gonna protect you".
The creature snarled some more. Suddenly Wanda entered the room and it instantly transformed into a cat again. Ebony purred and trotted over to his mistress. Wanda smiled and gave him a cuddle. She looked up to see the boys quivering in fear.
"What's wrong with you idiots"?, she asked frowning.
"Claws, teeth, snarly, monster", Lance blurted out.
"I think you guys need to get more sleep", said Wanda, shaking her head.
"I heard the screaming from upstairs, what's goin' on?", asked Todd, hopping into the room.
"That..that thing is a monster!", said Freddy, pointing to Ebony.
"A monster?", asked Todd, raising an eyebrow, "but he's just a little cat".
"That is not a cat", said Pietro shakily, "that is a minion of the anti- christ".
"I can't belive you'd say that about my little Ebony!", said Wanda, "fine, i'll just take him up to my room so he can have some peace and quiet".
As Wanda walked out, Lance could swear the cat gave him an evil glare.
"It WAS a monster, you gotta belive us!", said Freddy.
"Did you guys eat some of Kitty's muffins or somethin'?", asked Todd, shaking his head, "if not, you really need some serious counciling. Monster, yeah right!".
He shook his head and headed into the kitchen.
"We're gonna die, aren't we"?, asked Lance.
"Yes, yes we are", wailed Pietro, "i'm too young and beautifull to die!".
There you go, another chap done. I thought i could chance to bring a little comedy in now, as seen as i have dealt with a good deal of the weighty issues. BTW, even though i haven't read any of the comics, as by now you all know, i did research and Ebony was actually an interdimensional creature who could transform into a cat creature thing. I read it and i thought 'think of the fun i could have with that!'. I also found out that Ebony is a 'he' not a 'she' as i first thought, oh well..Please review, they keep this fic going. Until next time...
