Here's the next exciting chapter! Will Pietro save Kitty?! Will Kitty forgive Pyro?! MAYBE!!

Chapter Eleven: To be Left Behind

Everyone arrived at the gate of Magneto's base. Pietro waited impatiently for Wanda to get the gates open. He couldn't wait any longer.
"Wanda! Will you hurry up! We don't have all the time in the world!!"
Finally, the gate flew open. Wanda glared evilly at Pietro and walked in as the others followed.

Inside, everything was made of metal. (Oh gee, I wonder why) Pietro looked around for a moment, trying to remember how the format was for the base.
"You should know where to go right Pietro?" asked Lance concernly.
Pietro looked back for a moment then started walking ahead.
"Not really. I'm not sure where they would be right now or where they put Kitty." Everyone started to follow him. "So we'll have to look the old- fashioned way."

For some reason, Pietro knew he had to be quiet. For some reason, he felt like he was being expected. He began walked a little faster as everyone tried to stay behind or beside him. Suddenly, a group of lasers shot out ahead of them. They sat there for a moment until they started to move towards them. Todd panicked and jumped up onto the side of the wall.
"Ahh!! Those things are gonna make us into ashes yo!"
Wanda raised her hands on blasted on set of lasers away. Pietro dashed over them and started looking for an off switch. Lance raised his hands towards the lasers as a large tremor shook them. The lasers blasted off until another set came to them. Wanda and Lance were holding them off while Todd crawled around on the wall. Suddenly he found a switch.
"Yo Pietro! Is this the whatchamacallit?"
Pietro turned. "Yeah! Pull it down!"
Todd hopped onto the bottom of the switch and began pulling on it. Pietro grew impatient as Lance was getting a headache. Wanda was also getting tired of Todd's weak pulling.
"Damn it! Hurry up! We can't hold them off all day frog-boy!"
Finally, Pietro rushed up and pulled it, turning off the lasers. Lance sighed, holding his forehead. Wanda looked to him for a moment.
"You alright?"
Lance nodded. "I'm fine. Let's just hurry up and find her."
They continued on a steady pace, hoping that they wouldn't run into any more lasers. They came to a large metal door that didn't have a switch to open with. Pietro examined it for a moment.
"I think we better be more cautious yo. I don't wanna get caught." Said Todd as he looked around.
Wanda crossed her arms impatiently. "Pietro, you see anything? We can always find another way in."
Pietro ignored his sister and continued look. Finally, he saw a strange cubic like object floating above a small platform. He poked at it then back away as a static shock protected it.
"Guess Magz got new tools." He mumbled.
Todd tapped Wanda on the shoulder with a shaking finger. "W-Wanda."
She slapped his hand away and examined the cubic block. "Not now!"
Todd tapped her on the shoulder again. "Wanda! I think we better move!"
Pietro and Wanda turned then glared at Todd. "NOT NOW!"
Todd looked at them then pointed behind him. There was large metal scorpion ahead of them, walking slowly towards them. Wanda gritted her teeth angrily. (So, he has been expecting us.) she thought. Lance turned to Todd.
"Todd, you look and try to figure out a way to open the door!"
Todd gave him a dumb look. "You expect me to look for a way to open the door?! Fine."
Lance stood in place, creating an earthquake to get the scorpion's balance off. Pietro sped around to confuse it as Wanda helped Todd. He searched around and found a control panel underneath it.
"Hey, look at what I found cuddle-bumps!"
Wanda glared at him. "I don't care! Just hurry up and figure out a way to open the door!!"
Todd began putting in all sorts of words that immediately pop into his head. Wanda watched him carefully, seeing that he got it wrong each time. Finally, she had quite enough. Wanda shoved Todd to the side and began typing in numbers.
"Todd! You screwed the thing up!!"
He looked at Wanda innocently. "Well, I'm sure you know how to work it."
"I'll just hack into the system!" she replied angrily.
Todd smiled. "She even knows how to hack. **sigh** another reason to love you sugar plum."
Wanda shoved Todd and looked at the computer with a worried look. Todd glimpsed at her then to the computer.
"Please enter password code." Said the computer.
Wanda grew frantic. She doesn't know anything about her father really. So how in the world would she know the password!? Todd started guessing again as Pietro and Lance still tried to hold the scorpion off.
"Try Gambit!"
Wanda shot him a dirty look. "Gambit?!"
"Yeah!"
She typed in "Gambit" quickly, trying to hurry.
"Incorrect. Please enter password code." It responded.
Wanda slammed her fist on the panel and looked to Todd. "Todd! That wasn't right!!"
Todd shrugged. "Try Acolytes."
Wanda picked up the control panel and threw it off behind Todd. He slumped down as Wanda turned to the metal scorpion. She raced over to it and raised her hands. Pietro stopped running around it and turned to her.
"I thought you were helping Todd!"
Wanda's hands glowed a strange blue color. "Not now!" A ray of blue shot out to the scorpion making it paralyzed for now. Lance stopped his earthquake and stumbled a bit.
"Okay, now that I have it down, someone bash the door down!"
Pietro grew irritated. "HOW!?"
Lance walked over to the door and placed his hand on it. A large tremor began to shake the door. Todd frantically moved out of the way as the door slammed down to the other side. Quickly, Pietro, Wanda, Todd, and Lance rushed inside. Suddenly, the scorpion got up and rushed over to the doorway. Even though it was too big, it could still fit its tail inside. Wanda was getting tired running while everyone else was ahead of her. Suddenly, the scorpion's tail slashed Wanda on the arm. Todd quickly turned to her.
"Cuddle-bumps!"
Todd ran back to get Wanda as Pietro and Lance stopped. Lance began to panic as the tail grew closer to Wanda.
"No! Come back!"
Wanda raised a hand in the air and signaled them to leave without them. Pietro was shocked. Who would've known that his own sister, Wanda Maximoff, the one that hated him almost as much as her father, would stay behind to let him go. Wanda turned and shot a glare at the shocked silver haired boy. Then she smiled.
"Pietro, Kitty needs you as much as she needs you now."
Her smile quickly faded to an angry state when Todd tried to leap for her. She ducked then started to hex the scorpion to stop it.
"Wanda, I.."
Lance pulled Pietro a bit. "Let's go!!"

Well, not all of them passed the first floor. But hopefully, Wanda and Todd will still be alive! Reviews please!! And thank you for all the ones you all have given me!
