Chapter 2

"Magneto, could you please take our daughter and teach her to control her powers?"

"Not to worry, I have a daughter with the same troubles with her powers, I'll just do the same thing with her," little did they know that the daughter that he spoke of was in an insane asylum.

"Ami, come here please," Magneto said in a voice people use on small children when they are in trouble.

A 11 year old Ami slowly moved forward then stopped and turned back to give her mother a hug, "I love you mom," she said before letting go and following Magneto into the shadows of the night.

After they had gotten out of earshot of her parents Ami said, "You're going to put in an insane asylum if you can't help me control my powers, just like your daughter, aren't you?" Magneto turned to her very surprised, "Yes, how--," "I may only be able to bring your fears to life but your mind is an open book," she said while looking into the palm of her hand.

"I don't care if you put me in an asylum, there's nowhere else for me to be," she added quietly. "My codename will be 'Nadir', ok? It means "the worst time in someone's life."

"The Brotherhood has a new member?" Jean asked.

"Yes, her name is Ami Ciel Jackson. I expect that she will be going to Bayville Highschool. Her powers are animating one's greatest fear and teleporting inanimate objects and herself. I don't think she will join us but it's a possibility so please don't give her any incentive to stay with the Brotherhood," Professor Xavier advised.

"What makes you think she'd join us?" Rogue asked.

"The only reason she seems to be with Magneto is because she has no other place to go, her parents are dead, and her brother went missing years ago, " Professor Xavier explained.

"Is her brother a mutant aswell?" Ororo asked.

"Yes, but he doesn't use his powers at all it seems because he never shows up on Cerebro,"

A week after the remote incident Pietro still was angry and wouldn't have anything to do with Ami. Ami just ignored him ingoring her and went on with her life, "I've got more important things to worry about than him, he'll come around and if he doesn't it's his problem not mine," was all she would tell anyone.

Ami, like Professor Xavier had predicted, began going to Bayville Hich School the day after she arrived. In truth the main reason she went to school was she needed something to bury herself in, something to consume her time, and an excuse not to get out. She wasn't a very socialable person, so she spent most of her time at school, the library, and at the boarding house, so you can imagine how hard it was for her to have life, but she didn't seem to care.

That night Ami had been at the library and had just teleported back, while once again Pietro was channel surfing. "Why can't you just choose something?!" she questioned him, annoyed at the amazing speed he was choosing that he didn't want to watch every single program. Pietro simply acted as though he hadn't heard her, "Is holding a grudge fun for you or something? Just forget it already! It wasn't anything personal, you made it personal," she told him. She was really getting annoyed.

"What is that supposed to mean? 'I made it personal', how did I make it personal? How?" Pietro said while getting up from the couch, what was the point of continuing this argument?

Ami didn't know what to say to this but it wasn't over and she wanted it finished tonight, "Wait."

"Why?"

"This isn't over, this, whatever it is, and I want it resolved tonight. It's getting extremely annoying," she had never been one for words.

Pietro kept walking, "I'm sorry, ok?" she said quickly, "Really, I am."

"Fine. 'Night," he said before closing the door to his room.
