Chapter Six: First Time It Hurt To Lie

Ada awoke to the roster's song as the sun rose in the sky. The damn bird always woke her up so early, but she was having trouble sleeping anyway. She put on a robe, and walked down the stairs and outside. She smiled at the familiar view; she had fond memories of this place. She had spent many summer, winter, and spring vacations in Germany with her family. If she was to walk around the town, one would think her a native until she spoke. Her American accent gave her away even with her perfect German.

She headed over to the barn, and began to feed some of the farm animals. She loved farms, but could only stand them for a certain amount of time. She was a city girl after all. As she scattered the seeds for the chickens on the ground she could hear the waking of her team members. It was rather cold out, and when she felt a gust of wind pass her and a chill flew up her spine. Fortunately it was a one time wind. Pierto.

"Guten Morgen." (Good morning.) She smiled at him.

Pietro leaned against the fence keeping the birds in, and smiled "What-you- said."

Ada couldn't help but blush, and Pietro smiled as he saw the blood rush to her cheeks. "Is it breakfast time already?" She tried to change the subject. "Everyone's up?"

The silver haired boy smirked lightly, he noticed her uneasiness. "What's- wrong? Think-I'm-going-to-bite-you?"

Ada smiled playfully. "Bite me?" she asked.

He quickly ran up next to her, their faces close. He had a half serious and half playful smile. He ran a hand down her cheek as he replied. "Only-if- you-ask-me-to."

Ada giggled nervously. "No thanks." She moved away rather slowly. "We should go inside."

He stopped her. "Why?"

"Because we have a job to do." She replied firmly, and with her reply she was swept off her feet and found herself back inside of the house in less than ten seconds. She was in his arms and she just stared at him. They gazed into the others eyes until they heard a firm ahem from Wolverine.

"Guten Morgen Logan." (Good morning Logan.) She smiled innocently, and hopped out of Pietro's arms. She saw Roderick smiling at her, and she glared at the younger boy as she began to set the table for breakfast. She opened a door to a shelf and pulled out some plates. She was surprised to see Pietro helping her. The speedster was running at hyper speed from one side of the room to the next. When she sent the silver ware on the table she noticed that everything else was set for eating.

Kurt teleported into the room, and smiled wishing Ada a good morning while taking a seat at the table. Thankfully, the professor had explained to her family what was going on, and they so far were very accepting of the mutants.

Ada sat down, and plopped the food onto her plate. She smiled as Rogue, Remy, Wanda, and Tabby entered the room. When Jean and Scott entered Ada ignored them, she still didn't like the red haired girl. But she showed the two where the food was.

"So what is this?" Scott looked at the food with a curios look.

Kurt and Ada smiled at each other. "Americans." Kurt sighed.

"Hey!" Ada glared at the boy. Kurt just gave her a playful smile.

"Ah second that question sugar." Rogue stated as she sat looking at the food.

"Just try it." Ada told them. "It's really good."

"Jah, just try it Rogue." Kurt mimicked.

Pietro took a spoonful of the meal in his mouth and chewed slowly. He gave a satisfied look when he swallowed. "It's-actually-good."

Ada smiled "See it's good. Yummmm." She took a bite.

Everyone else took a taste hesitantly, and all nodded in agreement with Pietro.

"Not ta bad." Rogue replied, and they continued to eat their breakfast.

The team had suited up, and was now on their way to enemy territory. When they reached the castle, the teams split up in opposite directions. Pietro and Sprite where on the west end of the castle searching for whatever was out there hurting normal people. Sprite couldn't help but think if Magneto had something up his sleeve.

She decided to contact him. Professor, is Mags up to something? I mean this is just weird. Doesn't he hate humans? Wouldn't he be on the bad side?

I think you might be on to something which is the reason everyone is teamed up with one of Magneto's men. If Magneto has anything that he is planning I am unable to find it in his mind.

So it's possible, and if so wouldn't Pietro be his right hand man? She knew the saying 'like father like son' and as much as the thought of Pietro betraying her hurt. She knew how possible it was. She had grown to like the speedster, and she cursed herself for her feelings toward him.

Just be on you guard. the professor told her. He could tell that the thoughts were distressing her, and his sympathy went out to her.

Quicksilver had noticed Sprites quick mood change and was trying to loosen her up. "Cheer-up-we'll-get-them,-or-should-I-say-I-will." He smirked.

She cocked an eyebrow. "You wish. I'll end up saving your ass."

"That-sounds-fun." He smiled.

Sprite rolled her eyes. "Grow up Pietro."

Quicksilver loved how easily she was to annoy. "No." He put his arm around her shoulder and sighed. "Ohh-how-fun-you-are."

"Find amusement elsewhere." She wasn't in the mood; she had gone into battle mode, and was keeping her eye on him.

"Why? When-you-are-so-much-fun?" He replied, and leaned into whisper into her ear. "You'll-never-get-laid-if-you-don't-stop-being-so-serious."

"Excuse me?" She could not believe what he had just said. "You have no business in that part of my life. And besides only people who will fuck you are stupid ditzy blondes!" She retorted.

He glared at her "What's-your-problem!" He was just playing around and she had to get so serious. "Why-do-you-have-to-be-so-god-damn-serious!?"

"And why do you have to be so annoying!?" She cried.

His eyes widened. "What's-your-fucking-problem?"

"YOU!" She yelled at him.

"That's-not-what-you-said-last-night." Even in anger Pietro had humor and sarcasm.

That was it; she ran at him and began to throw punches. He dodged them with ease; her emotions were clogging her fighting skills. "Will you stop with the stupid remarks?!"

She swung another punch and he caught her arm, she tried to pull it away but she was worn out from all the punches she had thrown. He was glaring at her, his eyes wide. He was a little irked by her sudden change, and if he would ever admit it he wanted to know why she was upset. Usually he wouldn't have given it a second thought but for her he would. His eyes became sympathetic as well as his expression. "What's wrong?" His fast speaking ways stopped.

She frowned. "Nothing." She again tried to escape his grasp. "Let go."

"Not until you tell me."

"Why do you care? Is this some sort of joke?"

"Am I not allowed to care all of a sudden?" He let her hand go, her comment hurt him. "God, I can be serious to you know!"

She was surprised by this, and decided it would only be polite to tell him, or ask him. "Is there some sort of plan? I mean why are you helping us with this?"

"I don't know." He lied, and surprisingly it hurt to lie, which was a first for him.
