"It was Scarlet Witch" Professor Xavier announced. Gathered in his office were the X-Men and new recruits, as well as Wolverine and Beast.
"But how can that be possible?"
"I'm not sure Scott" Xavier answered.
"Maybe she got her memory back" Rogue suggested. Jean shook her head.
"But how could that happen?"
"What if someone told her what happened, and she got really mad?" Bobby said, making more of a joke than a real suggestion. He and some other laughed, but most rolled their eyes and groaned.
"I bet something happened with Mastermind" Wolverine said. There were a few nods.
"Maybe he fixed her mind" Kitty said.
"Why would he do that?"
"Could he be dead?"
"Maybe..." Soon the room was filled with opinions and scenarios as to what may have happened.
"Calm down everyone!" Xavier sent a mental order to the whole room. All turned to him.
"I'll try my best to find out what is going on. Until then, I suggest you don't trouble yourselves to much with finding an answer." Everyone filed out of the room, as that was the signal for dismissal. After everyone had left, Xavier went to his desk when there was a knock.
"Come in" he called. Storm entered.
"I found out a bit of interesting information, Charles" she said.
"What?"
"Pietro is in the hospital"
*****
"Shut up! I can't hear the TV!" Pietro shouted, even though he could hardly hear Lance and Todd's fighting anyway. He had been irritable since he had come back from the hospital a few days earlier. Pietro shifted his weight and felt a twinge of pain in his left arm *Damn thing!* he thought *Damn Wanda, damn her memories, damn Magneto!* Pietro ground his teeth in frustration. He should not be involved in this- Wanda's little feud with Magneto. It wasn't his fault- Pietro had been to young to object to the much older and much powerful man. And by the time he got older, well, first off he did not know where the asylum was, and one could say that he was to busy with the problems in his own life to rescue her.
Pietro switched off the TV angrily. He did everything angrily nowadays, since the moment he had woken up in the hospital. Wanda was out there, hunting Magneto, and when she found him, she would kill him. And then she would come back and torture Pietro- unless of course he threw himself at her feet, but even that might not work. And there was nothing that the speed-demon could do about it.

"There's something strange going on Chuck" Logan said.
"I know" was the reply "I used cerebro to locate Wanda"
"And?" Storm asked.
"She was at Magneto's castle- or what used to be it"
"And what about Pietro?"
"Ororo's right, that kid's ego is to inflated for him to let himself get hurt"
"I'm guessing that it was Wanda" Professor Xavier said "it would make sense, but-"
"But Wanda's memory was erased" Storm finished.
"Exactly. And I tried to find Magneto and Mastermind also. Magneto, I couldn't find, but I didn't expect to. Mastermind- he must be under Magneto's protection"
"Or dead"
"That may explain Wanda regaining her memory"
"But that's not necessarily the case"
"Well it's the *obvious* choice!"
"Please, Logan, we cannot afford to make assumptions, we need to know facts with something like this."
"Well Chuck, you better find out the facts quick, because someone's going to end up with a slit throat"
***
He had to be around there somewhere. Magneto was overly confident; it was unlikely that he had fled, if he had somehow found out that Wanda was coming. But he had not disappeared off the face of the Earth. Perhaps he had gone to the Brotherhood. It was even possible that Magneto was hiding out at the Xavier Institute, although that was highly unlikely.
But he was smarter than that. He would find another abandoned building, or castle or any secret or remote place. Why he had left his castle in the first place, Wanda could not figure out, but she would find him. Oh, she would find him and when she did...
And then, maybe Magneto was not smarter than that. Maybe he was a coward and was hiding out from his daughter.
*Maybe* Wanda thought *Maybe he's hiding with Pietro **************************************************************************** **** Silver17- Thank you, merci (It's French this time!)
