Chapter 3
"I wonder where Lee is now? I wish we could be together," Ami thought as she laid in her bed, Lee was her older brother. A short while after Ami had been taken by Magneto her parents had died and her brother disappeared. Her brother was a mutant aswell, and at the time he was only 15.
When Ami had dilibratly got herself into the asylum, she used her teleporting power to get to her brother and he had helped her master her powers. Ami missed him terribly, he was the only family she had left. She had been a little careless the other day when Todd had heard part of her conversation. If he had heard more......., she didn't want to think about it.

"You can't keep coming to visit me so often, Magneto will notice your absence and then what will happen to me?" Lee had said as a reason to limit visitations and to start using cell phones and other means of communication.
"Are you sure that this will be any safer?"
"Well I don't know, but at the moment it is,"
"Why don't you just go to Professor Xavier?"
"Why? Because he couldn't take me. I'm still a minor and unless he's got permission from my 'legal guardian' he can't and won't,"

Ami was suddenly pulled out of memory and into reality, when she was asked what x equaled. She quickly scanned the problem, trying to act as though she had been paying attention, "5," she said knowing she was wrong but at least he might not have noticed that she was guessing since she hadn't said, "5?" or "uhhh...5?".
"No, anyone else?"
"Focus on the here and now, that's what's important," she thought to herself.
Ami had this same inability of concentrating during her last three periods aswell, although they were subjects that either didn't require that much attention or the teachers were so clueless she could get away with it, "What is going on with me?" she thought while looking for Lance, he was her ride home, not that she considered the boarding house her home.
"Hey, Ams, what happened during algebra? You didn't know the answer when you were asked," Todd asked her while she tried to read a book in the back of Lance's truck.
"I don't know, lost myself somehow," she said after looking up from her book and asking Todd to repeat the question.
"Now that's real specific," Pietro said sarcasticly.
"Well that's the best I can do. This has never happened to me before, so that's the only thing I think could be the cause,"
"What did you get 'lost' in?" Pietro asked with the same sarcasim as the latter comment.
"Hey! Since when have you two been speaking to each other?" Todd asked suddenly.
"Since we both decided that you should brush your teeth," Ami said quickly. Pietro laughed.
"You're pretty good at hiding information, aren't you? Like that mystery person you were talking to the other day," Todd said to take the attention away from him.
"That's none of your business," she said shortly.
"Yeah, who were you talking to? Your boyfriend?" Pietro added smiling.
"I don't have a boyfriend and even I had one to talk to I wouldn't tell you guys about him. Know why? It doesn't concern you," she said defensively, hoping that that would be the end of it.
"Come on, we're you're team, we're supposed to trust each other," Pietro said coaxingly.
"Keyword there is 'supposed' and besides it's not matter of trust,"
"Then what is it a matter of?"
"It's a family matter,"
"But my father told me that you had no family," Pietro said, a bit confused.
"Your father doesn't know a thing," she thought to herself.
