"Hey, new girl." Pietro pointed out looking down the hallway at this Greek goddess like figure walking towards him; she might even be fitting for a Greek god like himself. He looked her up and down, long black leather coat, black hair.ooh, nice blue eyes. Pietro thought as he caught her reflection in another student's locker.

Scout growled stuffing her two textbooks from her last lesson in her locker; this had been one of the worst days in the world. Not only had she failed a one-on-one training session this morning but she had to go to school, get called on five times in Math and that annoying Kitty Pryde kept following her. A shiver ran down her back she looked around, she had the strangest feeling someone was watching her. She caught his reflection in another student's mirror their eyes met for a few long seconds before she looked away. She turned to face him, he was looking her up and down with no modesty at all, she allowed her eyes to take in his figure too. "Nice" she thought to herself. Their eyes met again jest as the bell rang and she walked off to her next lesson.

"Where, like, were you all lunch, I couldn't find you anywhere." Kitty asked her as Scout tried to concentrate on chemical formulas. Truth be told she had spent all lunch in town eating a burger and not being near this annoying girl. She knew she meant well, but the constant perkiness and the word "like" in every sentence had been getting in her nerves.

"Hey Scout, you skate?" Evan asked turning around, Scout was surprised he didn't have his skateboard with him he carried the damn thing everywhere. She honestly didn't mind the sport, it required skill and balance, all the things that made a sport worth doing, but she didn't want to spend any more time than necessary with these X-geeks. The only person that she was actually getting on with was Rouge, they had the same kind of attitudes to most things as well as the fact that they had both put their first boyfriends in a coma for several weeks, Rouge with her killer skin and Scout lost control of her electricity.

Scout looked back at Evan, he was so obviously flirting with her,

"No, I don't skate." She lied.

"Ah, that's cool. We could always do something you like." Evan continued undeterred, Scout sighed; this was going to be a long lesson.

Unknown to Scout behind her was the Speed Demon himself who was currently fuming. Daniels! Flirting with a girl that he, Pietro Maximoff, might consider dating! The nerve! He would definitely pay for this! A plan quickly formed in Pietro's already hyperactive mind, he looked down at his Bunsen burner, it would need to be done quickly and well timed. Pietro smiled evilly.

Scout just stared as Evan Daniels apparently spontaneously caught fire; he stared running around the room screaming with everyone following him trying to put him out. If Scout's reflexes hadn't have been as sharp as they were she might not have noticed the breeze go by her head or heard the quiet self-satisfied chuckle behind her, but she did. Scout turned around to see the silver-haired teenager sitting behind her looking at her with a smug expression on his face.

"I didn't know people could move that fast." Scout said looking at him, he shrugged absently. Suddenly the flaming Evan Daniels ran by her and she couldn't help but laugh, Scout felt her concentration slip slightly for a second. Pietro raised an eyebrow as a blue bolt of electricity jumped from her to a nearby power socket making all the lights in the room flicker.

"And I didn't know that people were human lightning rods." Pietro replied smoothly.

"Pietro Maximoff, AKA Quicksilver." He smiled.

"Scout Rodrigez, AKA Spark." She smiled back. Scout glanced across the room as she heard the hiss sound as Evan was put out.

"Do you know anyone named "Quicksilver"?" Scout asked Rouge.

"Yeah, ah do. How do you tho?" Rouge replied in her Southern accent.

"Just saw him in school; he set Evan on fire." Scout shrugged.

"Sounds like him, but how did you know he gets called Quicksilver?" Rouge asked trying not to imagine Evan on fire.

"He told me." Scout replied realising that her mistake would come up in the next question.

"He'd only tell another mutant so how did he know?" Rouge frowned getting suspicious.

"Well, seeing Evan on fire kinda jolted my concentration and I y'know, kinda. zapped the lights. He was the only one who saw though." She quickly added noting Rouge's expression.

"So super speed then?" Scout asked as she felt a breeze of wind and saw Pietro standing next to her out of the corner of her eye.

"So control over electricity then?" Pietro replied.

"I wouldn't say control, I can't control it. At all." Scout shrugged.

"Well your not all electric now." Pietro frowned; Scout turned to face him leaning on her locker.

"I can stop it but I can't control it. If I lose focus then I lose control." Scout sighed.

"So what would make you lose focus then?" Pietro asked smiling evilly. He looked at her and stepped close to her so their lips were mere centimetres apart.
