"Yo Lance, why are we out here, and you know, our fearless leader is in there?" Todd motioned to the Brotherhood house while he leaned against his rake.
"Because, Pietro" Lance practically spat the name "Wants us to clean the yard and rake the house, but naturally the fastest guy on the team doesn't do any work."
"I like how Wanda's not out here either" Fred said as he moved all the Hood's trash to the end of the driveway.
"Well, hey, if my sweet ums doesn't want to work…" Todd began only to have Lance cut him off.
"More like lil Pietro is still scared spit less of his sister" At this all three boys laughed until a streak of silver came by.
"Hey hey hey, this doesn't look like work. What's going on with you guys, this paint job is horrible; there are leaves everywhere, oh, hey Freddy, good job with the trash." Freddy smiled at this compliment. "Now I'm the leader and I just can't stand filth so I want" at this Lance shoved his paint roller into Pietro's hands.
"If you want it cleaned so badly then do it yourself." Lance glared at Pietro but Pietro just gave his classic smirk.
"Well, hey, guess what? I'm in charge and I say you clean it—"
"Hey, isn't that Principal Kelly?" Wanda said as she stepped out of the house.
"Hiya sweet 'ums" Todd hopped up to her, Wanda shoved him aside into the freshly raked pile of leaves causing them to go everywhere and many ended up sticking to the newly painted house.
"This is why you don't paint a house in fall" Lance glared at Pietro as he started picking leaves of his newly painted house.
"Hey Kelly, what brings you here?" Pietro smiled as Kelly frowned.
"I'm here to tell you you're going back to school starting tomorrow."
"What!?! Are you insane, why the hell would we go back there when you kicked us out last time?" Lance yelled (ignoring the leaves still stuck on the house) as he rammed his finger into Kelly's chest.
"Why would we want to go back there anyways?" Pietro asked as he studied his fingernails nonchalantly "the place is boorrring." The other Brotherhood members nodded their heads in agreement.
"Listen, I don't want you kids there either, but someone pulled a whole lot of strings with the school board to get you reinstated. Either show up to school tomorrow or I'm siccing the truant officer on you." With that Principal Kelly headed down the walk away from the Brotherhood house.
"Can you believe him, it'll take Pietro all of what, two seconds to get rid of any wussy truant officer" Lance said with a sneer directed at Kelly's back.
"Hey shouldn't there be a point in front of that two?" Pietro had zipped right up into Lance's face. Lance stepped back and frowned at Pietro.
"For once Pietro" Lance grinned as he placed his hand on Pietro's shoulder "I agree with you." Pietro let a cocky grin appear on his face and then Lance shoved with all his might pushing Pietro into a mud puddle.
"Hey! Oh yuck!" Pietro screamed in indignation. Lance was so busy laughing that he didn't see the large mud ball flying towards him until to late; it hit him right in the mouth.
"Mud fight!!" Todd yelled as the Brotherhood of Mutants started viciously attacking each other with mud, completely ruining the house's new paint job.
Pietro flopped down on the sofa and sighed. Here he was, the Brotherhood's fearless leader, and he was getting groceries. Of course it was only because he was the one fast enough to get caught (Magneto wasn't funding the boys in any way) but he still had to act halfway indignant.
"Hey Pietro" Wanda sat next to him and started channel suffering. There was a moment of silent, which was quite remarkable around Pietro but then again he tried not to annoy Wanda too much, before she spoke again. "I've been thinking about what the suit said" she had never met Principal Kelly before "and I was thinking he's right." Pietro sat up and gave Wanda a 'are you crazy (again)' look. "I mean, it had to take some string-pulling to get the school board to allow us back in the system and who do we know cares about us that much?" Pietro just shrugged as he zipped into the kitchen and back, this time carrying some food. "Our father Pietro, do you think he's the one who got us back in school?"
"Our father Wanda!" Pietro let out a laugh "Our father doesn't care about—" Pietro stopped as he noticed Wanda's questioning look. 'Crap' Pietro thought as he realized he almost forgot about Wanda's 'reprogramming'. "I mean, if he really cared about our education he wouldn't be sending us to public schools!" Pietro gave a nervous laugh as his sister slowly nodded her head in agreement. "Well I'm going to go to bed now, bye!" With that Pietro sped out of sight.
"But it's only 7" Wanda called after him. But he was already gone so she just shrugged and turned back to the television.
