Chapter 6
After Pietro had left Ami standing in the hall with Todd he couldn't sleep, he kept thinking about Ami. She had seemed so normal and ok. Why did he care? She wasn't really a friend of his now was she? So why did he care? She was just a girl, a girl with a serious problem, but a girl all the same.
"Why did I say that I wouldn't tell Magneto?" he asked himself, knowing the answer. His father had told him specifically that if anything happened to her it would be his fault and that he wouldn't live to give any excuse. Also another answer was that he knew for a fact that she had not liked to be around Magneto, that was why she had pretened not to have control over her powers, so she could be away from Magneto. She had told him that when he had first met her.
When he finally was able to sleep he still saw Ami, alone in a corner, sitting on the ground with her knees up to her chin, just sitting there as though waited for something. Tears began to stream down her face, then she disappeared from his sight and a guy that looked about 20 years old took her place, "Who are you?" he asked without speaking.
"Her brother," the stranger said quietly.
"What?"
"Don't worry about her, she knows what to do now. She'll be fine, she's been told what she needs to do," he said calmly.

After Pietro had left Ami saw no reason to stay in the hall with Todd starring at her like she was some kind of freak, so she decided to try and teleport to the Institute so she could speak with Professor Xavier. It was going to be difficult since it was extremely unlikely that he was using his powers at this exact moment and that meant there would be very little of his signature to focus on. All the same she felt that the sooner her problem was fixed the better and Professor Xavier was the person she thought could help.
"Todd," she said, "I'm going to pay Professor Xavier a vist. If anyone asks just say I went out or something, whatever you do just don't tell them where I've gone,"
"Ok," Todd eyeing her uneasily.
Ami closed her eyes trying to feel the Professor's signature, his power. She could feel a weak reading,"He must be asleep," she thought. She cleared everything out of her mind, concentrating only on his power and where it was coming from. After about a minute she was sure could get to the Institute without any problem.
She opened her eyes and found herself on the front lawn of the Institute, "Great, the alarm will have gone off by now, everyone will know I'm here," she said. Then as if on cue the X-men came out of the front door all dressed and ready for a fight. Ami rolled her eyes, this is exactly the last thing she needed.
"I came to talk to the Professor, not for a fight," she said while walking towards the door.
"Like, you expect us to believe that?" Kitty asked incredulously.
"Yeah, I do," she said still walking towards them.
"It's ok, stand down," said the Professor, "I've been expecting you, Nadir."
"You don't need to call me that, only Magneto does. I've given him the idea that I like it," she said smiling as though greeting an old friend.

When Ami got back from the Institute the Brotherhood was starring at her and she had a weird feeling that they had been waiting for her since they found she was gone, "You can stop starring at me like that now," she said hoping they would take the hint. Even if they didn't they couldn't change how extremely at peace she was. Everything was so excruciatingly clear she wasn't sure what hurt more, ignorance or knowing, but she had peace of mind now and she wouldn't trade it for anything.
"Where have you been?" Pietro asked.
"That's--," she started.
"'None of our business' we know. Where were you?" Pietro continued unphased.
Ami simply smiled, "I think I'll be leaving, this is no place for me." She had decided last night while talking with the professor that she needed to have some time to come to grips with what was going on with her heart.
"What do mean?"
"I can't stay here, not anymore. Don't worry Pietro, your father wouldn't kill you for this, not for the reasons one would hope, but he won't. You quite indespensible at the moment." She smiled at him and waited for someone else to make an objection but it never came and she was gone.
