* Thanks to my reviewers! I really appreciate it!!! Here is Chapter Four!*
Chapter Four: From the Eyes of Pietro
*Flashback*
''Dad, are we going to America?'' asked a seven year old Pietro Maximoff. His father, a very powerful mutant by the name of Magneto, master of magnetism. ''Yes son. We are, but don't be fooled by what you have heard. America is no land of the free. Mutants like your sister, you and myself are met with hatred and fear.'' Pietro's face dropped, why were they going to a country where they weren't going to be accepted?
*End of Flashback*
Pietro Maximoff, now eighteen, looked out the window of his current residence, the Brotherhood of Mutants. 'Father was right. This is no better.' he thought to himself as he sat in the chair watching humans walk by eyeing the house with glares of fear.
Pietro and his sister, Wanda, live at the Brotherhood under a metamorph's orders. Mystique, a dangerous metamorph, worked for Magneto and sought one thing..human annihilation. Also at the Brotherhood were Lance Alvers, codename Avalanche, whose mutation was geological manipulation. Todd Talansky also known as Toad lived with them. He had a frog like appearance, and was disgusting as one also. Fred Dukes, the Blob has an expandable epidermis. The last member to join the Brotherhood was Tabitha Smith, known as Boom Boom. A former X-Man with the ability of pyrokinesis which allows her to create orbs which cause explosions.
Pietro was the fastest mutant, the most narcissistic, and the loneliest of all the mutants at the Brotherhood.
Dear Journal,
Today we got a new student at school. Another X-Geek. He has a pretty cool power, light manipulation. I have to say he is the most gorgeous boy in school. His ocean blue eyes, sand blonde hair, excellent build. I can't believe I am gay. I tried so hard to ignore it, but it keeps coming back. This boy is everything I am searching for in a guy. The only thing is 1.) He's probably a heterosexual, and 2.) He is my enemy. I am so pathetic...
~ Pietro
Every time, Pietro see's Darren, his heart races and he cant move. Even for a mutant with superspeed.
There was a loud crash from downstairs, most likely Wanda getting pissed at Todd. Todd has had a crush on Wanda since the first time they met, and Wanda has hated him from the first time they met. Wanda, also known as the Scarlet Witch, had the ability to create hexes. Hexes that affect a mutants powers by making them backfire. A pretty useful ability when battling the X- Men.
"Pietro, you have a phone call. Some chick.'' said Tabitha (Tabby) as she poked her head in his room. "Thanks.'' said Pietro as he picked up the phone. 'How come these girls can't figure out I am gay? Like I do wear tight ass shirts in maroon. If that isn't a dead give away.' thought Pietro as he put the phone up to his ear. "Hello?''
"Pietro? HI like its Kristina, you know me because I am in your art class. You know Kitty Pryde's friend.''
"Uh, yea. What can I do for ya?"
"I was wondering if you maybe wanna go out on like a date or something."
"I can't. Sorry.'' said Pietro in his mile a minute voice and flung the phone back onto the charger.
"People these days.'' muttered Pietro as he signed online. Pietro had just signed on, when he received an instant message.
Shadowcat: hey, like y did you turn Kristina down? She really liked you.
Pietro rolled his eyes at the message and typed away.
FastAsLightning: I dunno
Shadowcat: well, I think you should reconsider. She is a great person.
FastAsLightning: I don't want to. Why can't you leave it at that?
Shadowcat: Don't you DARE get attitude with me
FastAsLightning: I am not getting attitude. I made my decision. And I am sticking to it!
A three or so minute pause...
Shadowcat: you know you are a heartless person just like that ex of mine, lance!
FastAsLightning: was that supposed to be mean?
Shadowcat: screw off!
FastAsLightning: Uhm...lemme think about that...NO!
Shadowcat: I think you need some serious therapy!
Shadowcat: therapy*
FastAsLightning: I tried that, doesn't work to great...
Shadowcat: You are so fuckin complicated.
Shadowcat signed off at 5:52 PM.
Pietro just rolled his eyes and X'd out the window. 'What a bitch' he thought to himself. "Pietro? I am going to go to the movies want to come?'' asked Tabby. "No, I think I am going to stay home, and probably rest." said Pietro as he finished typing his Comparative Lit essay. "Pie? What's the matter? You seem kind of down." said Tabby as she entered the room and shut the door behind her. "Nothing." he lied. Tabby knew it was a lie. "Don't lie to me. I know a lie when I see one.'' she said as she took a seat on his green bedcovers. "Nothing." he said again without looking up from his essay. "Pietro, are you gay?'' she asked bluntly. "Ex-Ex-Excuse me?'' he said stuttering. "Are you or are you not gay?'' she asked again, her blue eyes meeting his gray ones. "What would make you ask such a thing?'' he said trying to avoid the truth. ''Pietro, if you are I don't care. The boys and your sister might, but I won't. I ask because I kinda saw your journal.'' said Tabby. "You read my journal?'' he asked with a tear coming to an eye. ''Yeah, not on purpose. It was just there and Todd was eyeing it, so I took it from him, and on the way upstairs I tripped, you know us blondes. Then the book fell and opened up and I read what you wrote about the new kid.'' she said gesticulating at certain points of the conversation.
"Yes Tabby, I am. But please don't tell anyone?'' he said as he got up and sat next to her. "I won't but I am glad you told me. Like I want to be your friend. You can use one.'' she said looking at him. They hugged, and now Pietro was finally at some peace, knowing that Tabby was his friend. "One thing Pietro." she said in the middle of the hug. "What?'' "The minute you start snapping your fingers and saying, 'Don't go there girlfriend.' is when this friendship ends.'' she smiled. ''I wont, trust me." he laughed.
*I know it is short. It is short because this is mainly a fic about Darren and not Pietro, even though Pietro is a main character, a lot the chapters revolve around Darren, and Darren and Pietro as a couple later on, and also Darren and Rogue (later on though). Review Please!! Wow, two chapters in one day...yay! Thanks to my reviewers!*
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters. All I own in Darren Baker and the plot.
