Another New Friend
The next day the Misfits returned to the Mansion and learned that there was a new mutant to meet. "Let me see if I get this straight," Pietro said. "This girl used her powers to put herself in stasis for two years and then reached out to Kitty through her dreams?"
"Yup," Rogue said. "Kitty's visiting her in the infirmary. She's gonna spend some time with her grandfather before she comes to the Institute. If she comes."
"Well let's go meet her!" Pietro ran up. In the bed was a Native American Girl with long hair and braids. "Hi there gorgeous! They call me Quicksilver! Otherwise known as Pietro Maximoff, the Love God!"
"Huh?" Danielle blinked.
"More like Captain Ego," Kitty said.
"Hey!" Lance waved as the rest of the Misfits walked in.
"Danielle these are the Misfits," Kitty introduced. "That's Althea, Toad, Blob, Wanda, Lance, Xi and you've seen Pietro for yourself."
"Do they go here too?" Danielle asked.
"No they just hang out here whenever they feel like it," Kitty sighed. "They're kind of like our rivals who used to be our enemies. It's a long story."
"But an interesting one," Althea grinned. "Welcome to Mutant Manor. And yes, it's always this crazy around here."
"So what do you do?" Pietro asked.
"I scare people," Danielle sighed.
"Oh what a lovely power," Pietro groaned. "How?"
"Trust me you don't want to find out," Kitty groaned.
"I'm kind of telepathic," Danielle told them. "But usually all I can do is pick out people's fears and make people see them."
"Well it's a good thing I'm fearless then," Pietro sniffed.
Danielle looked at Kitty and at the others. "Do it," Wanda grinned.
Then Pietro got a horrified look on his face. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! THE HORROR! THE HORROR!" He ran screaming out of the room.
"What did you see?" Kitty asked.
"All I saw was him with a few zits on his face," Danielle was puzzled.
"I know that nightmare," Fred said. "Pietro talks about that every time he runs out of moisturizer!"
"Oh this is gonna be a barrel of laughs if she joins up with them!" Lance groaned.
"But on the plus side she can terrify my brother," Wanda grinned. "I think you and I are gonna get along just fine Danielle."
