A/N: Thanks for the reviews especially NachtcGleiskette for giving me the info on Talia. For anybody who wanted to know Talia doesn't have a tail.
Previously: Mesmero stood outside John's room knowing exactly what to do; he had sensed the previous tension between the Wagner's and John.
John was lying on his bed when suddenly he snapped up walking out the room.
Wanda was just pulling a jumper out of her drawer when she heard someone enter the room.
She turned around expecting it to be Kurt but it was John.
"John?" Wanda said a little concerned. John licked his lips.
"I don't think you should be here." Wanda said staying firmly where she stood.
She tried to use her powers but it seemed that she couldn't.
Mesmero stood outside playing his illusions.
John shut the door and walked over to Wanda backing her up in the corner.
"We have business to settle." John said smiling.
Wanda tried to push him away but he grabbed onto her arms. "Well Shelia shall we have a remembrance dance." John smelled her hair then nibbled on her ear. Wanda tried to scream but she couldn't. John kissed his way down her neck stopping just above her chest. "Do you remember when we spent the night together?" John asked
Wanda nodded her head. John slipped his hand on her thigh. "You wear naughty skirts." He said feeling his way up.
Wanda started to cry. "Please John." She begged she looked in his eyes something was wrong he was out of it or something. His eyes were looked cold and soulless.
"Don't worry you'll be begging for me after I'm done with ya."
John shoved her down on the bed. "John what's wrong you're not acting like yourself."
Wanda couldn't move she'd never been this afraid why was she so afraid it was only John she could kick his ass powers or no powers.
He started kissing her again and even ripped off her top. Wanda did no what to do but she was not the kind of woman to just let something like this happen. So she screamed.
"Get off of me you jackass!" Wanda shouted and started to punch him. John wasn't getting affected by it. "GET OFF ME!!!!" Wanda shouted again. Nobody would have heard her from upstairs most of the students were down stairs in one the rec rooms, either watching the film or listening to music.
Wanda screamed again, this time somebody heard. Piotr slammed the door open in his full metal form. "What is going on?" Piotr asked seeing John on top of a crying Wanda.
Piotr picked up John and through him against the wall. Kitty came running in after Piotr.
"Like what the hell just happened?" Kitty asked.
Wanda was in too much shock she was crying. Kitty sat next to her hugging her. "It's okay."
John woke up looking up to a very angry Colossus. "Why the hell are you looking at me like that?" John asked.
Piotr couldn't say anything he was too angry. John looked around him he didn't recognize the room.
"Petey?" John looked up. "What did I do?" he asked looking over to where Wanda sat clinging to Kitty.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
Kurt looked at the clock, Wanda had been longer than he thought. He looked over to Talia she was happily watching the film with some of the students, so he ported away.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
Kurt ported into his bedroom to see John on the floor with Piotr leaning over him. But more importantly Wanda was crying hugging Kitty.
"Vhat happened?" Kurt asked sitting next Wanda.
Wanda looked up. "Something's wrong with him." Wanda said through tears. "And I couldn't use my powers."
Kurt held onto her. "Shh I'm here. he won't hurt you."
"I'm like gonna get the professor or something." Kitty said standing up.
"I will take him to the Professor's office." Piotr said grabbing his lighter before lifting him up.
"Kurt, I don't think it was John." Wanda said looking up to him.
Kurt raised an eyebrow. "Vhat did he do?"
"Nothing, he didn't get a chance. I screamed and Piotr came in."
Kurt kissed the top of her head. "Maybe ve should get you cleaned up ja?"
Wanda nodded.

John sat in a chair in the middle of the Professor's room with Logan and Piotr glaring at him.
Both Erik and Charles walked in. "What happened?
"John attacked Wanda." Piotr said still staring at him.
A few metal objects from the room hit John.
"Hey." He screamed.
"But he says that he can not remember." Piotr said.
Logan sniffed at John a bit. "Mesmero."
"Are you sure?" Charles asked.
"Yep can't forget a smell like that."
Magneto glared at John. "I'm really sorry, I would never hurt Wanda."
Charles searched Johns mind. "He was under Mesmero's control."
Piotr relaxed a bit. "I knew you wouldn't hurt a woman like that John." Piotr said resting his hand on John's shoulder.
"Okay John it would be best if you went back to your room I will inform Kurt of what happened."

Pietro tucked Talia into bed. "Uncle Pie Pie why can't Mummy or Daddy put me to bed?"
"Well they're busy, your mums just a little under the weather, don't worry."
"Okay, night." Talia said snuggling into her bed.
"Night sweetie." Pietro kissed her on top of the head and walked out.
Pietro was walking down the hall when he bumped into Jubilee.
"Hey." Jubilee said stopping in front of him. "How's Wanda?"
Pietro shrugged. "Haven't seen her yet, she's in bed."
"So you know John was controlled by Mesmero right?"
"That's the only reason John ain't dead right now."
"The Professor can't find Mesmero anywhere it's really creepy."
"Yeah I know, we have to be really careful. Logan's increased the sense's on the security."
There was somewhat an awkward silence.
"So what you doing now?" Pietro asked breaking the silence.
Jubilee smiled. "Nothing."
"Wanna go for a walk, I need to clear my head."
"Sure." Jubilee said walking side by side.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
Wanda lay in the bed cuddled up to Kurt not able to sleep.
"Kurt." She whispered.
"Ja?" Kurt answered looking down at her a bit.
"What happened I mean I couldn't use my powers and I was scared."
"I suppose Mesmero made you feel like zhat." Kurt answered.
"What's gonna happen to John?"
"Nozhing, he wasn't under his own control."
"It was horrible, I've never seen somebody that soulless since the asylum."
"Try not to zhink about it." Kurt said kissing the top of her head.
"What do I say when I see him, it's not his fault."
"Don't vorry, just get some zleep and you'll be fine."
"What about TJ?"
"I'll check on her every few hours." Kurt said snuggling tighter to her.

"So what's it like working for the government?" Jubilee asked as they walked through the garden.
"Why thinking of joining?"
"No way I'm in no condition, I mean I can just about do the training sessions. I'm nowhere near fit enough."
"I dunno, you looked fine to me in the danger room." Pietro said smiling.
"Yeah? I'm the one who normally screws up."
Pietro laughed he stopped by the fountain leaning on it. "So what you been up to since I left."
"You make it sound like you haven't been back in years." Jubilee said sitting next to him.
"It feels like it, being a mutant and working for humans ain't easy."
Jubilee raised an eyebrow. "Are they that bad?"
"Well some of them are, I get on with a lot of people I work with, but there is the odd one who's judgmental."
"I supposed it isn't easy with your father being who he is."
"Yep, make that a lot harder." Pietro looked up at the stars. "Would you believe I missed Bayville."
"Really?" Jubilee said shocked.
"Only place that felt like home."
Pietro looked at Jubilee. "I know what you mean."
They leaned into and kissed passionately not pulling back till they ran out of breath. Jubilee stared at Pietro she was frozen she felt a burning in her stomach and her head was spinning.
"So what you doin tomorrow?" Pietro finally ended the silence.
"Depends what was you thinking."
"Dinner, movie?"
Jubilee looked at him and stood up. "Yeah okay." She started to walk back towards the mansion.
"Hey, I'm not letting you walk back alone, Mesmero's still out there." Pietro said taking her hand.
"Men." Jubilee said smiling.

Lance sat in the corner of John's room watching him. If Mesmero wanted to mess up their lives, he'll have to go through Lance first. Which wouldn't be a problem but Lance wasn't taking any chances."
John sat up in bed. "You know Mesmero right? Well he can make anyone do anything?"
"Yeah." Lance said sighing.
"It's just I would never hurt anyone especially Wanda you know that."
"I think Wanda knows that too." Lance said straightening in the chair.
"Yeah, I hope so." John said considering it. "How about Kurt he can throw a punch hate to wake up to a homicidal Nightcrawler."
"Wanna no the truth?" Lance said looking at John.
"Kurt's the nicest person I know, I mean hurt his friends and you're in trouble but something like this he'll understand."
"Ya think."
"Defiantly, I mean he's sort of chilled Wanda out ain't he." Lance said looking towards the window.
"I suppose, he deserves Wanda then?"
"Yep."
"She has changed a lot."
"Just a bit, I mean she's married and had a kid." Lance said sarcastically.
"Still a bit crazy though."
"Well I think the park incident that happened today proved that."
"Stupid humans." John said laughing.
"I know."

Scott and Jean sat opposite the Professor with most of the X-men sitting around the table or at least most of the most senior X-men.
"What do we do?" Rogue asked. "I mean if he can get in and out of the mansion undetected we're doomed."
Magneto sighed. "She's right we have to created something that's going to detect him."
"I can try and design some sort of device." Hank said thinking.
"Get Pietro to help you, he is quite the genius when he wants to be." Magneto said almost ordering.
"Do you think we should send the students home?" Jean asked.
"Maybe, but not all of them have homes to go to."
"If we decrease the number of people around here, Mesmero won't be able to take advantage of them." Scott said.
"Yes, we'll announce it tomorrow, but don't scare them make an excuse."
"Do you really think we should be lying to them Charles?" Storm asked.
"I don't like the idea of it, but if it keeps them safe then yes." Charles answered standing up. "I've got a few phone calls to make. I'll leave it your care."
Charles slipped out of the room followed by Erik.
"Charles, do you want me to call in my men?" Erik asked.
"You have men?"
"Of course I do." Erik said shocked.
"As long as they don't cause any trouble." Charles answered walking off.
--------- ---------------- --------------- ------------ ---------------- -------------- -------------- ---------- ----------------
"Great, I'll see you in a few hours then," Charles said over the phone. "I'll keep Theresa here then, and I'll expect you in by tomorrow?"
Charles put the phone down and looked out of his window.
"Why now? Where have you been?" He asked nobody in particular but was talking about Apocalypse.
