"So, this fur ball's your brother?"Ivy handed the three teens their tea,"Weird. You look nothing alike."

"You'd be suprised."Vega muttered,"Yeah. It's strange but we're twins."

"It's still hard to believe."Wanda shrugged,"Those two couldn't be more different."

"Zat's for sure."Kurt gulped down his tea,"HOT!"

"You honestly thought it wouldn't be?"Wanada gave an annoyed snort,"Where's Agatha?"

"Right here."Said waitch sat down at the table with the teens"Who is this?"

"This is my brother, Kurt Wagner."Vega explained,"Now, what information did you have for us?"

"Yes, I do."Agatha smiled,"May I see your pendant?"

"I'd rather not take it off,"Vega brushed a strand of hair out of her pale face,"I get the disturbing feeling that if I take it off someone may get hurt."

Agatha nodded,"You have good instincts, child. If I'm right your pendant is made from a rare stone that actually inhibits a mutants powers. Should you take that pendant off, your powers may destory us all. Are there any noticable limits to the rest of your powers?"

"My teleportation limit is just over two miles, while Kurt can manage nearly five now and my ability to sense mutants only goes about ten miles."Vega explained,'Should I mention my ablility to transform?'

'No, you've said enough.'Kurt gave her brotherly smile.

"I was righ then, the pendant inhibits your powers. And the form you are in now, it is not your natural form. Am I correct?"

The twins exchanged suprised glances,"Yes."

"As I thought."Agatha smirked,"I can tell because of the softness of your skin. A girl who has been through you life you have at leats a few scars to show for it. Your skin is smoothe and pale, as if you've had a perfect life, one free of pain and suffering."

"You pay more attention zan Logan."Kurt looked well over suprised.

"I've just learned over the years how to recognize things like that."Agatha rolled her eyes,"Vega, what can you remember from when you were younger?"

"Not much,"Vega confessed,"just playing with Kitty and finding out about my powers mostly. That and finding out I'm a blue hair ball."

BZZT ZAP ZZZZ!!!!!! Kurt's image inducer exploded,"Uh oh."

"I didn't do it!"Vega yelped,"Sorry, reflex."

"Ugh."Kurt slapped his forehead,"Not again."

"Let me see it."Kurt handed the still sparking image inducer to Vega. "Hmm, no wonder it's out of wack."

"We're listening."Wanda eyed her curiously.

"The mechanism that produces the hologram overheats too easily."Vega said simply,"It needs something to cool it down."

"In Engilsh please."Ivy groaned.

"It's the like the engine of a car,"Vega explained,"you work it too hard, it overheats. Xavier overlooked that little detail."

"It's there something you can do about it?"Wanda asked.

"Unfortunately, unless you want to double, maybe even triple, the size of this already clunky piece of junk, no, there's nothing we can do about it. Kurt's got three choices."

"And I'm not going to like any of zem."Kurt moaned.

Vega took a deep breath,"Shut up, elf. One, he could deal with this piece of junk for the rest of his life. Two, he could just forget the thing and go to school as the blue hair ball he is. Or three, we beat out his shape shifting power."

"Shape shifting power?"Ivy asked.

"We both inherited our mother's shape shifting power,"Vega explained,"I can sense it in him. Unlike Kurt, though, I've been able to use it from birth. I've probably had a LOT more stress than hte elf."

"And you've needed your power,"Agatha pointed out,"Kurt has not. You each had the gifts you needed to survive till your full power was needed. And, as Mystique told me, it's periods of high stress that release your powers."

Vega nodded,"My teleporting ability emerged right after I leveled Chicago."

"You what?!"the remainder of the room, with the exception of Wanda, yelped.

"Long story."Vega said quickly,"Anyway, like I said, Kurt's got three choices."

Agatha nodded,"No matter what choice you make, it will be hard, probably even painful."

"Oh, ja, make me feel even worse."Kurt muttered,"Can I think about it later?"

"Fine by me elf."Kaily shurggied, using one of her long nails to pry the cluky watch open,"Got any more info for us, Agatha?"

"Not much, but I do believe I know who turned your team in."All ears in the room perked. "My sources inform me that Magneto or one of his henchmen is the one that turned you in."

"Why does that NOT suprise me?"Wanda rolled her eyes,"Only my father would turn us in."

"But what about Pietro?"Kurt asked,"I thought he left."

Wanda shrugged,"So did we."

"You don't think he defected and came back?"Ivy asked lightly.

Wanda clenched a fist and the lights outside flickered,"He'd better not have."

"If he wants to live he'd better not come back."Vega mused, watching the light show outside,"We'd better get back to the institue before Lance starts to wonder where I went."

"Or Logan me."Kurt added.
Lance let out an annoyed groan an rolled over,"Where is that stupid hair ball. I doubt he's even allowed to sleep in."

At that moment Scott stormed into the room,"WHERE IS HE?!"

"Who?"Lance growled, burying his head in a pillow.

"KURT!"Scott snapped,"He never misses breakfast!!"

"Probably went somewhere with Vega,"Lance grumbled,"I heard them talking last night."

"Vega was in here?"Scott snarled.

"Yeah, they must have been out on the balcony for at least two hours."Lance buried his face deeper in the pillow,"Now go away."

"Lance!!!!! Lance!!"Vega and Wanda burst into the room,"Problem! Big problem!!"

Lance let out another muffled groan,"What now!?"

"We figued out who turned us in!"Vega said breathlessly.

"And that's problem?"Scott growled.

"Put a cork in it, Summers."Wanda snarled,"The problem is my father is not only alive but he's out to get us. Not to mention my brainless brother is around here somewhere too."

"Oh, cute."Lance sat up and glared at the girls in the doorway,"Got any more suprises for me?"

"Not that I know of."Vega shrugged,"Ugh, damn arm."

"You're gonna be sore for the next week."Lance rolled his eyes,"Now, where's Kurt? Summers is ready to kill."

"He's downstairs."Wanda let out an annoyed grunt,"Probably calling Amanda and filling her in on everything that just happened to us."

Vega shook her head,"Kurt's got a big mouth, but he only uses it for eating."

"Yeah right."Lance muttered,"Now go away and let me sleep."

"I think not."Scott snapped,"You stay with the X-Men you train with the X-Men."

Vega rolled her eyes and grabbed Scott and Wanda,"If you're not up by noon I'll come up and dump ice on you." BAMF

"Brat."Lance rolled over and went back to sleep.
