In the Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House, Sidney found herself, once again, moving her stuff into Wanda's room, while Wanda grugingly filled her in on all the mutant happenings so far
"Wow, between Rogue's powers going haywire and that whole spider Apocalypse thing, i bet you guys have been busy", she said, putting her guitar by her bed.
"Not really", admited Wanda, she looked at her feet for a second, "are you okay?...with me and Todd i mean. It's not going to make you uncomfortable..is it?".
Sidney flicked back an ear before sighing.
"No", she finally said, "i'll admit, it may take some getting used to, but i'll be fine. Glad you finally plucked up the guts to tell him".
"Yeah", said Wanda with a happy sigh, "so..how's Avalon been?".
Both girls knew this question was only asked in the name of politeness and that Wanda didn't really care.
"It was..okay, boring", said Sidney, "i'm glad to be back. Plus, i have a bigger family now...i really should have realised it sooner, but i didn't".
"Mm", said Wanda as a reply, before standing up, "errr...i gotta go out now with Todd..on a date".
"Have fun", said Sidney, carrying on sorting out her things.
Wanda nodded, heading out, leaving Sidney to sort out her half of the room.
"That bad, huh?".
Sidney span around to see Pietro leaning on the doorway.
"What are you talking about Pie?", asked Sidney, putting her books on her shelf.
"This whole...neat and tidy thing", said Pietro, gesturing to the clean room, "you only ever makes things neat when you're stressed out. Please tell me you're bothered by Wanda and Todd, 'cause i am, big time!".
Sidney arched an eyebrow.
"Really?", she teased, "you actually found some protective brother genes in there? I'm impressed".
"I'm serious, Sid", said Pietro, crossing his arms, "i just..don't like it. He's not good enough for her".
"May i remind you that, One: You are talking to his ex, Two: it's up to Wanda, and Three: do you think anyone will be good enough for her in your eyes?".
Pietro thought this over.
"Okay, i know", he said, "it's just...weird. She's my sister. To see her in a relationship with one of my friends just freaks me out".
"And once again i find myself the houses' agony aunt", said Sidney, rolling her eyes, "okay Pie, you and me are gonna eat some ice cream and be miserable, okay?".
"Ahhh, so you admit you're having issues with them?", said Pietro, the usuall glint back in his eye.
"You are too sneaky for your own good", said Sidney, "i'm not admiting anything, not yet anyway".

In the Institute, Rogue was sitting on her bed, trying not to think about how Forge was doing on the dampener machine. She kept telling herself that two hours was not long enough to call yet, no matter how fast his mind worked. She hummed to herself as she tried to get her mind off the machine. It was then that Kitty walked in, looking very shifty with something behind her back.
"What's that?", asked Rogue, sitting up and pointing to the protuding object.
Kitty glanced around nervously before pulling out the object from behind her back. It was Forge's 'Matter Intensifier Thingie'.
"Oh ma'h God, how did you get that?!", said Rogue, wide-eyed, "does Forge know you have it?".
"No", admited Kitty, "but i'm gonna give it back. I'm just...testing it.Wanna have a go?".
"No way", said Rogue, crossing her arms and shaking her head, "whenever i touch anything Forge creates...bad things happen".
"Your loss", said Kitty with a shrug, she pointed the machine at a small ornament of a dancer. She pressed a button. Nothing happened.
"Awww, stupid thing", she muttered, giving it a smack.
The machine started to make whirry beeping noises, she gave a shout of surprise and dropped it. It shook violently before shooting a beam, hitting something on Kitty's bed before making a 'phhffft' sound and crumbling into pieces.
"Ohhhhhh Forge is gonna kill you", said Rogue, pointing to what used to be his machine.
Kitty didn't listen, running over to her bed.
"Oh no!", she said with a sniffle, "Lockheed".
She poked a charred object on her bed.
"What, it got that stuffed toy of yours?", said Rogue, "what do you know, there is justice".
Kitty gave another sniffle.
"I've had that since i was a baby", she said, "now it's gone".
She suddenly gasped as the charred object moved. Suddenly, purple wings sprouted from it, followed by a purple tail and legs. The object shook the rest of the black dust from itself before blinking up at Kitty. A small purple dragon stood in her toy's place. It gave a little yip.
"Lockheed?", said Kitty, blinking, "whoah".
'Lockheed' gave another yip before nuzzling Kitty's arm, turning around in a circle and settling down on the bed with a purr.
"Oh boy".
Rogue looked at the dragon.
"You are so dead", she said with a grin.

Yeah baby! It's LOCKHEED!. *Laughs manically* Hey, i can't help it, i'm Welsh, it's in my blood to like Dragons. Do review. Until next time....
