Chapter 1

"I don't know why I'm here, this place is an absolute dump," Amy thought as she walked into the boarding house. In truth she did know why she was there, Magneto had sent her and in her personal view of things there had been no reason why not, well no reason until she had seen what a dump the place was.

"Heeeelloooo, I'm the welcoming commity!" Pietro said as he sped towards her and grabbed her hand. Ami instantly reclaimed her hand and said, "Back off," in reply. She then walked past him in an attempt to escape, but as Pietro's mutant power is speed, she wasn't very successful.

"Hey, what was your power again? I haven't seen you in forever and I can't remember," he asked, trying to prolong the terrible excuse for a conversation. Ami's powers weren't a subject she took lightly, it had in the end taken away her family. If wanted to know so badly she'd show him, "He's asking for asking for it," she said trying to make herself feel better about what she was about to do, she never liked using her powers.

She looked down at her hand as if she had something written there, although in reality it was all the memories, fantasies, and thoughts within the confines of his mind, but she was looking for something in particular, his greatest fear. When she had found it she made her palm visible to him and he was consumed in the illusion that his greatest fear had become reality.

After this he started to back away from her in fear, this was the part she hated most; The look he gave her, it was the same look her parents had given her when her powers had gone out of control, the look that would forever haunt her memories. That was enough

"Where's the T.V.,?" she said without reason, she had no one now, besides her own brother but she couldn't go to him now, not now, "Well it's in the room we call the living room althought I doubt that's what it looks like," Pietro told her, and to his surprise she smiled, only slightly, but she smiled.

"So Pietro is that chic your girlfriend or something?" Todd asked while Pietro channel surfed. "No she's--," Todd quickly interrupted saying, "Another sister? You've got to be kidding me!" "She's my sister's best friend, well she was, Wanda doesn't remember her anymore because her memories were changed," Pietro told him.

Just then Ami pulled in in Lance's truck. When Ami found that there was nothing in the kitchen she immediatly started to look for a way to get a Supermarket, "Just 'cause you're dirt poor doesn't mean I am too," was the answer Pietro had recieved when he asked how she planned to buy anything.

When Ami walked in she was talking on a cell phone to some friend of hers, "Yeah, and Pietro, he thinks sooo much of himself! It's hilarious how irresistible he thinks he is," she laughed.

Todd looked over at Pietro, a little worried, how was he going to react? Pietro had grabbed the closest thing to him, the remote, and thrown it in her general direction, not to hit her but to let her know he'd heard her. This whole plan back fired when Ami used her powers and teleported the remote into his mouth. Todd laughed, Pietro glared at him and he stopped. He then got up from the couch, took the remote out of his mouth, glared at her, and stalked off.

When Todd was sure Pietro couldn't hear him he said, "That was great! No one's ever done anything like that to Pietro before." Ami simply shrugged and went into the kitchen, still talking to her friend. Todd was a bit confused, "Why didn't she brag or anything?" he thought.

"Lee how are you anyway? I miss you so much," she told the person on the other end. "Who's she talking to?" Todd thought to himself as he hopped past the kitchen. "Well I'll talk to you later then, ok? Bye," she said smiling.

"Who was that?" Todd asked her.

"That is none of your business," she told him.
