Disc-don't own, just Rita, Shawn, Marie, Lynx, Tyler, and Jason, wish I did own the rest though.
Pietro was sitting in the living room of Mystique's house as Wanda kicked open the door. "Wanda!" Pietro was up in a second and standing behind the kitchen table as Wanda slowly followed behind him.
"Pietro! You wont get to stand back and watch me get taken away this time." Wanda's eyes flashed with anger as all the knives and other sharp objects began shaking.
"Wanda, I swear I didn't do it, Magneto did, I tried to save you, I begged, but all he did was shove me in the car and drive away." Pietro began backing away as Toad came hopping down the stairs.
"Um Pietro, who's the cutie?" Toad grinned at Wanda as she turned around and kicked him in his ugly green face.
"Liar! You could have done something, you could have fought harder!" Wanda wouldn't believe that he tried to help her.
"Wanda, I was only 7! I swear I would have gotten you out if I could have, but Magneto wouldn't let me." Pietro backed in the corner and cowered before his twin sister. "Magneto is insane."
"Sure you would have Pietro." Wanda looked hard at Pietro as the front door was kicked open and all the silverware, which there wasn't much in the house, began circling Wanda. Wanda turned and came face to face with Magneto once again, and Mastermind behind him.
"Mastermind, hurry up before she kills my whole team." Mastermind nodded to Magneto and walked to Wanda as she tried lunging for him, but was unsuccessful as Magneto sent more metal towards her. Mastermind continued on as he got to Wanda, quickly changing her bad memories to good ones, making her love her family.
Wanda looked down then back up her father as the metal all fell around her feet. "Father? What happened?"
"Nothing Wanda, nothing at all my daughter, come, lets go home." Magneto put an arm around Wanda and walked with her out the front door and back to his base.

Lynx watched Magneto leave with mastermind then come back with his arm around Wanda and scowled. She waited until Wanda went to her room then found Magneto. "You really are a sick bastard you know that Erik? Your daughter is only out of her padded prison for a day before you go and brainwash her." Lynx scowled again and walked away.
"At least I don't hate my family for no reason." Lynx's eyes widened as she heard what Magneto said.
"Forget him Lynx, lets go to earth, anywhere you want." Piotr stepped out of the shadows behind Lynx.
Lynx was startled when she heard Piotr, she didn't think anyone was there. "Westchester."
"You sure Lynx?" Piotr gave Lynx an odd nod as she smiled at him, getting into the transport orbs and going off to Westchester.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Lynx sat in the big tree right on the edge of the woods and the school quad, Piotr next to her, watching the students play. There was a one on one basketball game going on in the back between Remy and Tyler. Most of the other students were watching the game and eating their lunches on the grass, Logan was busting two kids for necking and Scott was washing his car.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
As Logan finished lecturing the kids about necking in front of the younger students an oddly familiar scent came to his nose. He looked up and sniffed again before his claws came out, there was something evil about it. "Logan, what is it?" Rita walked to Logan's side as most of the kids who saw his claws ran inside.
"I smell someone, someone evil." Logan carefully followed his nose to the edge of the woods and looked around, the scent was stronger now.
"Logan, are you sure it's evil?" Rita followed Logan to the woods.
"Yes Logan, are you sure it's evil?" Lynx laughed and jumped out of the tree right in front of Logan, Piotr next to her.
"Lynx, you've made it clear already that were not your family anymore." Logan growled at Lynx.
"Logan! Do you mean that just because she went to Magneto she's not family? Remember, I went to Magneto as well." Rita glared at Logan. "Retract your claws now."
Logan growled as everyone heard a loud *SNAKT* of his claws retracting.
"Always take orders from her Logan?" Lynx turned when she heard Piotr talking and laughed softly.
"Shut up boy." Logan glared hard at Piotr.
"Why are you here Lynx? Please tell me you'll come back, Piotr can come as well if he wishes." Rita softly talked to Lynx, trying to get her back.
"Your so kind now Rita, why couldn't you be as kind 15 years ago when you were us?" Piotr grinned as Rita's soft face hardened.
"Look Lynx, God knows I'm not the best husband or father, but I always do my best to protect them and I tried to do the same with you." Logan stepped forward.
"Yeah, you tried alright, tried to use me as a really cheap babysitter for your daughter. Face it Logan, you never cared about me much." Lynx leaned back against the tree she had jumped out of and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Lynx, don't you dare talk to Logan like that, we tried as hard as we could to raise you so don't talk to Logan like that." Rita looked at Lynx as Lynx just yawned.
"As hard as you could? You use to have me fight Sabretooth in the danger room, were you somehow hoping that I'd end up killing him in the future? He's not all that bad mother, he may be a little slow sometimes, but he's not bad. Just because he knocked you up doesn't mean I become Cinderella." Lynx gave one last smile to Rita as she jumped into the tree.
"Lynx honey, please wait." Rita called to Lynx as she disappeared into the trees leaves with Piotr looking after her.
"Let her go Rita, she's not the little girl you used to love." Logan put a hand on Rita's shoulder.
"I still do love her Logan, and I always will, but maybe she is right, she did have to look after Marie a lot, just wish I figured it out sooner." Rita sighed and gave into Logan's arm around her waist, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Don't blame yourself darlin', you didn't do it."
"Yes I did Logan, we both did. Face it, we treated Lynx differently because of who her father is, we always have." Rita looked at Piotr as he continued to look for Lynx in the trees. "Maybe it's for the best though, she did find Piotr."
"I don't think so Rita, Brotherhood men aren't good for any girl, and she's only 14." Logan gave a snort of pure disgust when he saw that Piotr had found Lynx and walked toward the front door.
"Logan! Don't walk away." Logan stopped, half-way to the font door and turned to face Rita. "You don't understand Logan, it doesn't matter that she's only 14, she seems to actually love him and finding that person who brings you peace, brings you balance is rare for someone like her."
"Obviously not rare enough" with that said Logan walked away, leaving Rita in the front yard.
Rita glared at Logan and went to the garage, grabbing a spare key to Logan's bike from her pocket and getting on, driving away from the institute before Logan could stop her. "Damn woman." Logan muttered to himself before going back inside.

Kitty sat on her bed with the phone in her hand, calling Lance. "Um, like Lance, like how are you like doing lately?" After 13 years Kitty still had her valley girl accent.
"Hi Kitty, I'm doing fine, haven't heard from you in years." Kitty smiled at the wall, though she still liked Kurt, she still had her old crush on Lance.
"Yeah I know, wanna come over for a bit and talk like old times?" Kitty was hopeful that he would say yes.
"Sure, why not?" Lance hung up the phone and turned to Pietro, Todd, and Fred.
"Going to see the Kit-Kat? She's with the fuzzy guy you know." Pietro quickly put an arm around Lance's shoulders as Lance pushed him away.
"Stay out of my business understand?" Lance grabbed the keys to his old jeep from the counter and walked outside, only to be followed by Todd, Fred, and Pietro. "Get away you three."
Lance got in the jeep and drove off toward the institute, still followed by the other three Brotherhood members.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Lance pulled into the driveway of the institute and jumped out of his jeep, watching Kitty phase through the wall and run towards him, hugging him. "Lance, its been like forever." Kitty screamed, hugging him some more.
"It's only been 11 years since we last saw each other, when you graduated." Lance hugged her back and went inside with her as Logan walked outside, growling at Lance before take Scott's sports car to go looking for Rita.
"Don't you mean since we graduated? You redid your senior year like 4 times remember?" Kitty giggled to herself as Lance's face turned red with anger.
"Drop it Kitty." After 3 minutes Kitty finally stopped giggling and sat on the couch with Lance, mostly alone in the big house. Ororo and Charles were out looking for a new mutant they believe is in Atlantic City, New Jersey and Scott and Jean were out having lunch, asking Kitty to baby-sit Jason.
Rogue and Kurt were out having lunch as well, a brother-sister kind of thing. And Shawn and Marie were out at the mall, leaving Kitty, Jason, Tyler, Remy and Evan in the house. "Lookie here boys, Lancey and Kit-Kat sitting on the couch, where's your man Kit-Kat?" Pietro, Fred, and Todd were standing in the doorway, Fred more outside because of his size.
"I told you three to stay out of my business, now get before I rock your world." Kitty moaned as Lance stood up, he was still using his stupid puns from high school.
"You wouldn't hurt your friends would you Lance?" Fred shoved Pietro and Todd in the house before going in himself, just barely fitting in.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Lynx sat in the tress again, watching the Brotherhood members go into the institute, silently cussing them out under her breath. "What is your son doing here Erik?" Lynx turned to face Erik, Mystique, Piotr, Sabretooth, Scarlet Witch, and Pyro.
"I don't know, I didn't tell them to come here, they did it on their own." Erik stood up, frustrated that they were messing up the whole plan.
"Then we'll just have to go on with the plan, I'm sure Pietro can find a way out of this whole thing, he's pretty fast you know." Lynx turned back to watching the institute. "Logan was supposed to be here, damn him."
"Hello my friends." The Brotherhood members turned to face Mesmero.(A/N: Very sorry if I spelled it wrong, just tell me if I did in a review)
"Just in time Mesmero, just in time." Lynx smiled and jumped out of the tree, walking to Mesmero. "It's Tyler and Remy I want, no one else, understand?" Mesmero nodded. "Good, then get to work."
Mesmero stood in front of the Brotherhood members, concentrating hard on Remy and Tyler as the two walked to the front of the institute, fully under Mesmero's control. "Now Mesmero, now." Lynx silently said to Mesmero as Remy held up a hand full of charged cards and Tyler held up a hand full of charged baseball cards. Tyler threw the whole hand of cards at once towards the institute as Remy threw his hand, then the rest of the deck, exploding on the institute the second contact was made.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
When the explosion started, Kitty was thrown against the wall, unconscious, while Fred was knocked off-balance, hitting his head hard, unconscious as well. Pietro looked up the second he saw and heard the walls collapsing around them. "Got to go everyone." Pietro smiled to the other mutants and ran out of the house, just before the whole thing came down on everyone, crushing them all.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Lynx watched as the huge mansion fell, Pietro escaping it all on the front lawn near Remy and Tyler. "Hey Cajun, what was that for?" Pietro ran circles around Remy, finally realizing that Remy had no idea where he was, or what he was doing.
"Aw my son, once again you have managed to get away from danger." All the Brotherhood members walked out of the woods, Lynx jumping from her tree and landing in front of everyone, including Magneto.
Pietro looked oddly at his father until Mesmero followed slowly behind, taking a large stack of money from Magneto and leaving them all behind. "You guys did this?"
"Yes we did Pietro, though you and the rest of the Brotherhood members were not part of the plan, but sometimes you have do with what you have. Logan was meant to be in the 'accident' as well, but oh well." Lynx laughed silently to herself as she walked away from the ruble, followed by the Brotherhood members, all except Pietro.
Pietro looked hard at mountain of ruble that used to the Professor Charles Xavier's school for Gifted Youngsters. His friends were in there, dead, as a smirk grew on Pietro's face. "Then there was one."

A/N: Many apologies once again for the long wait, but I got bored and got hooked on video games again, but I'm back to writing, yay! Sorry if anyone here doesn't like me getting rid of so many people, but there were too many people to write about in this story, and people like Evan and Kitty don't show up much anymore so I had to do it, please don't kill me for it.
