I'm back for another chapter today. I think just two today. Well, here goes.
Again and again I put this disclaimers note that I do not own anybody but Madison.
"She is sincere," came the professors voice from-somewhere. I sat up and ran to a wall. "Hey! Can I come out now!? Please? I want to come back!" I heard some inaudible voices from the other side of the wall and strained to listen. Then, the wall whooshed open and I fell down in front of the professor and Logan. I quickly composed myself and stood up. "I'm so sorry for what I did! Please can I come back!?" The professor nodded and Logan crossed him arms. "We understand what you went through when you arrived and we hope that you can bond with some of the students and really come to like it here."
"Yeah, I guess we have to give ya a second chance," Logan growled under his breath. I tried a small smile and crossed my eyes and looked up. "What's this thing on my head?"
"Oh, that measures your brainwaves. Something I came up with to help us with some of the sincerity problems here at the Institute," the professor chucked.
After Logan had helped me remove the million pound helmet, I ported back to the Brotherhood house to again, pack my things and take them back to the house. When I got there, only the Brotherhood was there. I smiled at Pietro as I an up the stairs. I heard Lance call out, and I figured Pietro decided to follow me. I started packing my things as fast as I could, so I could get out of there. "Hey are you going back?"
"Yeah, I don't belong anywhere. But I think I'll try it there again. To find my place." He didn't reply, so I turned and looked at him. He looked-sad. Why would he be sad? Of all people. The supposed Mr. Tough Guy. Magneto's son! I grinned at him, hoping that he would smile back. He didn't, so I continued to pack my things.
"Why won't you stay here? You're better off here than there. They wont accept your destructive force. You're too much of a rebel for them."
"I know. But they are offering help. I think I'll take it." I let my eyes fall to the ground (figuratively speaking of course) and my head droop. "I'm sorry. I'm lost and I said I would do anything to get away from people that hate mutants so I did and the professor wants to help. I think I should really take it. He seems nice."
"He is a nice guy. Everybody knows that. But for the rest of your life, time there, whenever, you'll be against us and the Acolytes. And we're trying to fix the mutant haters problem. He's not. He's teaching the students to put up with them." He had a point.
"I know. I guess. God, this is only my third day away from home and all of this has happened. I don't know what to do. I just don't. Good or bad? Do you wanna help?"
He looked at me with the same sad eyes as Kitty and Logan looked at me with and sighed. What's with all of these sad eyes? Does everybody have them? I don't…I don't think I do at least…but I hate those sad eyes. They go right through you. Pierce you with coldness.
"If you go, I cant help you. If you stay, I really could help you find a place." I stood there pondering as the house creaked every now and then. I heard Lance yelling at Toad and thought 'Is this where I want to live? Like this? With people like this?' Again, Lance raged at Toad and I heard a cluck. They could use me around here. But Magneto obviously didn't. No then, I will go back to the professor. I have to.
"Pietro, I have to go back. I'm sorry. I just don't think I would really adapt to anything. Or benefit. I'm so sorry Pietro…" Why was I apologizing? To him no less?
I shook my head and folded my last box. I had to go. I stacked them all and smiled again at Pietro. He came forward and hugged me. Hugged me? I haven't had a hug since I was 12...I smiled and pulled away. Then I quickly kissed him and said "Thanks anyway Pietro."
Ah, all done. Well that was an okay Madison-Pietro talk. I like it. Hope you do too. Please review if you read it! Thanks people!!! Byez.
