Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men, but I *do* own Pietro's incident with the
cupboard and all (just read it)
As you may have noticed, the rating went up in the chapter. Specifically for language (in some places) and violence. Very much thanks to my REVIEWERS!!! *hint hint, nudge nudge* **************************************************************************** ***
Pietro sat at the kitchen table, leniently nibbling on a muffin that might have been Fred's. Todd was hopping around, screaming about the stupid coffee maker, and in the process, quite a few things were spilled and broken. Unfortunately for Todd, no one really cared about his problem, as long as they did not have to clean it up. Lance was proudly eating the waffles that he had made (meaning that he bought a pack of Eggos and had heated them up successfully). Fred was in the living room, watching cartoons with his first course of breakfast.
*Wanda's sleeping in* Pietro noted. His sister had promised that she would "talk about it tomorrow", and the speedster was eager.
But his thoughts and everything else in the Brotherhood were interrupted as they all heard a series of crashed, thumps and thuds. And then an infuriated Wanda Maximoff appeared.
"Um, Wanda...sweetums?" Todd said timidly.
"Out of my way frog!" she snapped and threw him across the room via her powers. Fred, who had come to see what all the noise was about, sank back into the living room, followed by Lance who did not want to be there when the sparks flew.
The only left was Pietro, wide-eyed with fear and confusion. He was frozen like a deer in headlights, but that did not matter, because Wanda had stopped him from moving.
"So Wanda" Pietro said fretfully "did you think about last night or-"
"Don't play games with me Pietro! You thought you were clever, didn't you?"
"Games, wha-? Wanda-ahh!" Wanda picked the speedster up and pulled him close to her.
"Listen brother dear" she said quietly "I remember what you did to me. Be ready when I come back." Wanda flung him into a cabinet above the counter and stormed out of the house, destroying most things that were in a small radius of her. The door slammed heavily, and for a second it seemed as if the house would collapse.
"What the hell was that?" Todd asked, still shaken.
"I dunno, she just went crazy!" Fred exclaimed.
"Guys!" Lance called and pointed. Pietro had been thrown into the same cabinet where the plated and glassware were kept. The impact had broken the wooden door and sent the teen all the way into the cabinet. Wood and glass fragments had cut him all over his body, and many of them were still implanted in his skin. Pietro had then fallen to the hard floor, but not before bumping his head on the sharp counter edge.
"Oh shit"
"Is he alive?"
"Should we take him to a hospital?" Lance checked his pulse.
"He's alive, but unconscious. We've got to get him to a hospital. You two, get him into the jeep, but *be careful*! I don't want him to get hurt any more than he is!" Lance hurried outside and started up his jeep. While he waited for the others, he thought of what to do when he got to the hospital. They would ask how it happened, what would he tell them? "He got thrown into a cupboard by his crazy, blood-thirsty twin sister" No. And what about when they asked about all the personal stuff- who are his parents, where does he live, how are you related to him? What would he say to that? "Pietro and the rest of us are the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and we live at a house with our crazy terrorist boss, and Pietro's father is also a crazy mutant terrorist fighting for mutant superiority and world domination" Definitely no.
By now Fred and Todd had laid Pietro in the back seat.
"Fred, you stay here" Lance ordered "Todd, come with me." the toad- like boy jumped into the passenger seat and Lance sped off.

For a while, Wanda had just walked, her initial anger keeping her from thinking clearly. Bu now she was faced with a problem: where was Magneto? Wanda thought. She had tried finding him through Caliban once- but that failed. She knew of Cerebro, the machine the X-Men had. But she was not sure if it was powerful enough to find Magneto. Besides, only a telepath could operate and she did not think breaking into the Xavier mansion and forcing Jean or the Professor to find Magneto for her would work to well.
But she had been in his lair once- when Mastermind erased her memories. She had followed Pyro to a ski resort. She remembered where it was. So she headed that way. **************************************************************************** *** Beaubier- You are quite right, Pietro and Magneto are totally screwed. And, if you thought what happened to Pietro was bad, you have *no* idea what I've got planned for his loving father...
DemonRogue13- Thanks a lot! Hope to hear from you in the future!
