Disc- only own Rita, Lynx, Tyler, Shawn, Marie, and Jason
"Wanda? Why do we really need to bring her into this mess?" Erik stood up and began pacing.
"Because Erik, she's far more powerful then you could ever even hope to be, so shut up and sit down." Erik sat down, running a hand through his hair.
"She's only powerful because she hates me and Pietro." Erik looked up at Lynx as Victor walked into the room, growling at Piotr who was sitting next to Lynx.
"I swear, if you do that one more time Victor, I'll kill you." Lynx told Victor, not even turning to look at him.
"Shouldn't you be calling me dad?"
Lynx stood up and walked to Victor, looking him in the eyes. "I don't think so Victor, not as long as you continue to growl every time you see me with a guy, you sound like a dam dog." She turned away from Victor and took her seat next to Piotr again. "Anyway Erik, it's not my fault that you have an extremely dysfunctional family now is it? You'll have to get over that, Wanda is the only person who can neutralize Charles's powers, now where is she being kept?"
"She's in an asylum not far from Westchester." Lynx looked up at Mystique.
"Thank you Raven, it seems that Erik does not wish for a family reunion, come Raven, Piotr, lets go find Wanda." Lynx stood and walked out of the room, followed closely by Piotr and Raven.

Jean sat in her room crying, as Scott came in with a glass of water and sat next to Jean. "Here Jean, drink this." Jean shakingly (A/N: that's not a real word, but you understand what I mean right?) took the water from Scott and managed a few small sips.
"Jean? Like what's wrong?" Kitty may have aged 13 years over the past, but she never lost that valley girl voice.
"Teresa…" Jean began to cry again, she couldn't even get the words out as Rita and Logan walked into the room.
"It's ok Jean, you don't have to say it." Rita sat on the other side of Jean.
"I feel so helpless against Magneto now, what happens if he goes after Jason next?" Jean wiped at the tears, but that didn't help much as Kitty handed her a tissue. "Thank you Kitty."
"Something tells me that this wasn't Magneto's plan." Logan looked at Rita when she said what he had been thinking.
"You believe it's Lynx?" Rita nodded to Logan as Kitty gasped.
"But like, Lynx and Teresa, used to be like, such good friends."
"That's not entirely true Kitty." The 5 adults turned to see Charles in the hallway as Logan moved, giving Charles space to enter the room. "Lynx was a complicated teenager, on the outside she was strong and had lots of friends, but on the inside, she was always alone. It was almost as if there was this evil inside her that had been growing there for a very long time." Rita looked down into her lap as Charles mentioned this.
"Rita? Is there like something you like know that like we don't?" Kitty looked at Rita, drawing Scott's attention to Rita as well.
"This is all my fault, I knew that Lynx would never stay here, Charles is right, there was an evil growing inside her, and because me and Logan ignored, Teresa is dead. From the second I held Lynx, I knew she was evil, I just thought that if she had a peaceful childhood that would go away, it never did." By now Rita was sobbing.
"Don't blame yourself darlin'. There was no way of knowing that Lynx would end up killing Teresa, and we don't even know if it was her idea to get rid of Teresa or if Magneto pushed her to do it." Logan tried to comfort Rita, though he wasn't doing a very good job.
"No Logan, I know my old friend and he would never kill another mutant just for the sake of doing it, there has to be a bigger reason to it, one that we don't see." Jean looked up at Charles as he spoke, she couldn't believe that this was happening to her. "I don't think he needed her powers, I never heard a cry for help, so Teresa had to willingly do whatever killed her."
"What are you saying Chuck?"
"I'm simply saying that I believe Lynx wasn't as innocent in this whole thing as you'd like her to be Logan. She knew just how to hurt us badly, and she acted on that knowledge." Charles sighed, Lynx would be a very hard girl to fight.
"So you think she planned this just to take out some of the X-Men?" Rita asked, standing up and hugging Logan, she didn't want to believe it.
"Yes, I believe that's what she did."
"Believe? Why don't you just find her and read her mind?" Logan wasn't a very patient and understanding man.
"Because Logan, Magneto has found a way to put a magnetic barrier around his base and even my mind can not penetrate it, he seems to have taken a great deal of care in making sure I cant reach it over the past 13 years." With that last thing said, Charles left the room, followed by Kitty, Rita, and Logan, they decided that Scott and Jean some time alone.

Lynx was thrilled with the knowledge of standing right in front of the asylum that held the powerful Scarlet Witch. "Come on Raven, we'll get Wanda, Piotr, stand guard for us." Piotr nodded as Lynx and Mystique stood up, Mystique taking the form of a guard, and taking hold of Lynx's arm as if she was new to the asylum.
Mystique dragged Lynx through the halls and ended up near Wanda's cell, there were at least 10 guards armed and ready for an escape. "These are solitary cells, you should know that." one of the armed guards told Mystique as Lynx lunged at the guard, freeing herself of Mystique's grip and literally tearing the guard's face off with her nails before being grabbed by Mystique again.
"I know, this mutant" Mystique scowled at the word mutant as if she weren't worthy "desperately needs a solitary cell, as you can see, she has a bit of a temper." The other guards nodded and opened a cell right next to Wanda's, inside the walls were bare, and they were thick too, no way to see the other mutants.
Mystique waited until the cell was closed and locked to give the whole room of guards knock out gas as she put a mask on. Lynx watched the guards slowly fall one by one through the thick piece of plexi glass that allowed the guards to watch what the mutants were doing.
Mystique took on her regular blue form and opened the cell that Lynx was just locked into before finding the key to Wanda's cell. Lynx unlocked the cell as Wanda lunged for her, hitting only air as Lynx stepped out of the way. "We've come to free you Wanda, after spending 23 years here you must want to get out." Lynx leaned against the door as Wanda looked at all the guards knocked out on the floor.
"What's in it for you?" Wanda blew a stray piece of hair from her face.
"We ask for your help, we need the X-Men dead, and you're the only one who can neutralize mutant's powers, besides, if you do this, you get to spend quality time with your lovely father, and maybe even your brother." Lynx smiled as Wanda's face reddened with anger.
"My father, Pietro? They're still alive? Take me to them now." Wanda's voice was loud as Lynx took the heavy metal shackles off her hands and feet, then the collar off her neck, giving her powers again.
"That's the only problem, you have to work with your father, but after that, he's all yours."
"You work for him don't you? You think that you can come here and free me, then tell me that I have to work with my father?" Wanda glared at Lynx as Mystique took her by the arm, guiding her safely outside, without any guards seeing them.
"Yes we do, but he wasn't too thrilled when I proposed, or rather told him that we could free you." Lynx told Wanda as they left the building.
"Impossible, my father doesn't take orders from anyone." Wanda threw Mystique off her once they were outside.
"That was a long time ago, now he does, and he takes from me. Your father doesn't know it yet but he's just a child's puppet, and I'm the one holding the strings." Lynx grinned.
"If your powerful enough to control my father, why do you need my help?"
"Because, Charles Xavier is the world's most powerful telepath and I need to make sure that he can not use his powers during this one last fight, what do you say Scarlet Witch? Do you help us and kill your family later, or do we send you right back into that cell?" Lynx stood, waiting for an answer.
Wanda looked deep in thought until she finally turned to face Lynx for the first time. "I'll help you, but you have to promise that when I'm done, Magneto and Pietro are mine."
"Deal." Lynx and Wanda shook hands on it, a rare thing for Wanda to ever do.

Pyro was looking out the window as he saw Lynx, Piotr, Mystique, and some other girl coming towards the base. Pyro stood up and ran to the parlor, stopping when he caught site of them. "Magneto, the Sheila's and Piotr are back, and they brought a friend back with them, cute Sheila too." Pyro told Magneto as Magneto quickly got up from his chair, dreading what would come when he met his daughter.
"Magneto!" Wanda's voice rang throughout the halls as Lynx and Mystique, took her directly to the parlor, Piotr just following the girls.
"Hello Wanda." Magneto kept his distance between him and Wanda as she scowled, barely able to keep form killing him right there.
"Wanda has agreed to help us Erik, but after the job is done, your on your own with her, understand?" Lynx glared at Magneto for no real reason, he would never contradict her, she was the only reason that they were beating Xavier.
Magneto nodded silently to Lynx as he sat down again, trying to ignore his daughter. "Don't worry Magneto, my stay here will be quit enjoyable…for everyone." Wanda smiled as she walked off, wandering around until she found an empty room.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Lynx almost laughed when she saw all color drain from Magneto's face, his face was almost as pale as his hair. "Would you enjoy seeing my death Lynx?"
"You seem mad Erik, maybe we should leave you alone." Lynx and Piotr stood up, going to Piotr's room for a bit while Mystique just went to do anything.
"I don't know how you do it, but Magneto does everything you say, and he even tolerates you getting his daughter." Piotr leaned forward on his bed and kissed Lynx.
"Why was she there anyway?" Lynx laid back on his bed, looking up at him.
"Because, 23 years ago when Wanda was 7, her father put her in that asylum when he couldn't control her powers anymore. Pietro is Wanda's twin brother and he stood back and watched as his sister was put in the asylum, it was sad really. She's never forgiven him since." Piotr laid down next to Lynx and watched her.
"Well duh, I wouldn't either, he locked her away for 23 years. Though I'm very surprised that she could actually control her temper back there, out of everything I ever heard about her, she seemed like the span of Satan." Piotr laughed at Lynx's comment.
"If you ask Pietro, she is, I still don't understand what he did to piss her off, but Pietro must have done something." Piotr and Lynx stayed up almost all night talking, not really about anything special.
After a while Lynx was asleep with Piotr's arm around her. She's so peaceful when she sleeps, if only she's peaceful all the time was Piotr's last thought before he too fell asleep.
