Normal POV
The Brotherhood members walked into their house frowning. None of them had seen Pietro since lunch and he hadn't shown up at the jeep after school. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal since plenty of times he'd run home or have a date or something after school. But now with everything that was going on with him they were worried.
"Pietro? PIETRO! Are you here?" Wanda yelled as she walked up the steps.
There was no answer.
"Well at least it'll be easier to search his room if he's not home right?" Freddy said trying to sound upbeat.
"Yeah, yo. We don't have to worry about keeping him busy just like keep a look out for if he comes home suddenly, yo."
Wanda didn't answer as she slowly turned the door knob and opened Pietro's door. She looked around to make sure he was really not home and not just ignoring them before stepping into the room.
First she looked around at everything trying to memorize where everything was so she could put it back perfectly. After a minute she started opening drawers and looking for any clue about what was wrong with her brother.
She found clothes perfectly folded and sorted by colors, tons of cloth and material and sewing stuff for making more clothes, books lined up alphabetical, more moisturizers and hair care things then even she had, school books and papers already done weeks ahead of when they were due, vitamins, weight gain powers and bars, candy, cleaning stuff for keeping his room practically hospitable sterile, condoms, lots and lot of condoms, lube, porn lots and lot of porn and was that a man?!, pretty much everything she'd expected to find in her brothers room except for something that would tell her what the hell was going on with him!
Wanda sat back on her heels from where she was looking though a trunk and frown when she noticed the time. She'd been in here for two hours and Pietro still hadn't shown up. She triple checked that she'd put everything back where she found it then left Pietro's room closing the door after her.
Three heads turned and stared at her hopefully as she walked into the living room. She shook her head sadly. "Sorry guys I got nothing. Other then finding out somethings about my brothers sex life that I'd rather not know I didn't find out anything that could tell us what's wrong."
"What? What do you mean finding out stuff about his sex life?!" Lance asked quickly.
"Uh well there was porn...and a some of it was guys. And I suddenly realize I probably shouldn't be telling you guys this so if Pietro finds out you know I'll kill you all slowly."
The guys sat back looking disappointed. "Oh we knew about that already. He's bi. Didn't you know? We found that out about 10 seconds after he moved in here."
Wanda blinked. "You guys knew something like that and you didn't bother to tell me?! I'm his fucking twin and I didn't know!"
"Well we figured you knew already, sweetums. I mean it's not like he hides it or anything, yo. Hell he's bought as many guys home as he has girls!"
Wanda stared open mouthed too shocked to hex him for calling her sweetums.
"You really had no idea? That's kinda hard to believe...." Lance said.
Wanda threw a hex bolt at him glaring.
Lance ducked then cleared his throat. "Ahem. Anyway back to Pietro so you couldn't find anything to tell us what's up with him?"
Wanda shook her head sighing and sitting down in a chair. "Not a thing. I even flipped though the pages of his books to see if he hid anything in them and I couldn't find a thing."
Just then the front door opened and Pietro trudged in.
All of them stared in shock. He was dripping with sweat and looked like he'd lost weight since they'd seen him a few hours ago at lunch.
Pietro completely ignored them as he walked to the kitchen and started eating anything and everything that he came across.
"Pietro? Where have you been? What happened?" Wanda demanded coming up behind him.
Pietro paused in his eating long enough to say, "Went running."
"Running?! That's all? Then why are you dripping with sweat and looking like you haven't eaten in a month?!"
Pietro sighed and stopped eating for the moment. "I over did it a little I guess. Too far, too fast. I just need to eat and grab a nap and I'll be fine." He went back to eating.
"I don't think so. This on top of everything else?! Man up is up with you?!"
"I don't have any idea what you're talking about." Pietro said around a mouth full of food.
"You know perfectly well what we're talking about! What we were talking about at lunch. What we were talking about last night. Now tell us what's wrong before I beat it out of you!" Wanda ordered.
Pietro froze like a deer in the headlights then grabbed as much food as he could carry and bolted to his room.
"I am going to KILL him once I get my hands on him!" Wanda screamed as things in the room started floating.
Pietro POV
Damn, damn damn! God she is not gonna let this go! God what am I supposed to tell them?! 'Gee guys you see I've been slitting my wrists cause I can't handle you all hating me but now I've found out you don't so everything is hunky dory again!'?! Arugh! I can not handle this right now!
I pace back a forth across my room all the while stuffing food in my mouth as fast as I can go to try to regain some of the weight I burned off with my run.
They care. I should be happy right? And I guess I am but I don't know what I'm going to say to them! They want answers and I don't have any to give! I can't tell them the truth. They'll freak even more then they are now or lock me up in some nut house like Father did to Wanda.
I couldn't handle that.
Even with my powers being on the fritz from the blood loss I still can't stand to be still for too long. I could never handle being in some small enclosed room with no way to get out. No where to run. And once I'm totally recovered it'd be even worse! I'd really go insane then!
Lie. I have to lie. Think! Think! I have to think up a lie they'll buy! Uhh drugs! No you idiot that's as bad as cutting! Uhh drinking? No same as drugs! Uhh bad break up causing depression and angst that I'll magically get over in the next few days? Hmm that could work. yes I'll go with that one. Ok. Ok next time they come to try to make me talk I'll act like I've been acting like I refuse to talk about it then they'll keep pushing and then I'll break down and start sobbing over a horrible break up with...uhh Suzy! Yeah a horrible break up with Suzy and I've been so miserable I haven't had the will to leave my room or do much of anything even use my powers then I can slowly 'recover' from it! Yeah! Yeah that should work!
I flop down on my bed still eating. My plan has to work. They can't find out what's really wrong with me. I can't risk being locked up. I can't!
I finish the food I'd grabbed on my way up here and reach for the weight gain bars I keep in my room. I eat a couple and figure I can try to drink a couple shakes later and hope it's enough to get some weight back on me.
I lay across my bed trying to relax and forget about the others. I try to ignore the little voice in my head saying, 'Just pull out your razor. You know you want to. Just slide that blade across your arm and feel all your troubles melt away.' NO! I can not afford anymore blood loss right now! Even with my mutation speeding up my recovery It's still too noticeable what the blood loss does to me.
I pull the blade from my pocket and drop it in the chest I keep my sewing stuff in and lock it to try to keep the temptation away.
I gotta wait till I don't nearly pass out when I use my powers without a sugar and caffeine high. At least until then. Which should be another day or so.
I can wait.
I can!
Normal POV
Wanda was not going to her her bother get away with running from her. She was going to find out what was wrong with him Andean fix it. She was going to get her happy, speedy, annoying brother back if she had to kill him to do it.
The others watched as Wanda paced back and forth in the kitchen. "OK we need a new plan! Any one got any ideas?"
"Uh why don't we just go up there and refuse to leave till he talks, to? Stick Freddy in front of the door and he'll have no choice, yo." Toad suggested.
"You know that actually is a good idea Toad. Well?! What are you guys waiting for?! Let's go!" Wanda started stalking for the stairs and after a moment the others followed her.
"PIETRO MAXIMOFF! You open this door right now or it's coming off!" Wanda bellowed banging on it.
Pietro POV
"PIETRO MAXIMOFF! You open this door right now or it's coming off!" I jump when Wanda screams and bangs on my door.
They're here! God that was faster then I expected them!
I quickly jump up and look around for anything that could tip them off then open my door.
It flies out of my hand and slams into the wall as they storm into my room like a SWAT team raiding a crack house.
I fall back startled and sit on the floor blinking up at my roommates in shock.
Things are not going as I had planed.
"Ok this is it Pietro. You are not running away from us again. You will sit here and tell us what's wrong with you and we're not leaving till you do. Blob is in front of that door. You are not getting out of this room till we know what the hell has been going on with you lately!" Wanda said standing over me with her arms crossed over her chest. God she is even more scary from this angle!
Plan! Remember the plan! What the hell is the plan?!? "I-I-I uh I don't have to tell you guys anything!" Yes! That's it pretend I'm not going to tell them anything then when they keep pushing I fake a breakdown and sob out a story about a girl!
Wanda's hands start to glow with purple energy and things start to float. "That is not the answer we were looking for! NOW TALK!"
"I-I-I Oh god Sara!" Sara?!? Fuck! No that wasn't the name! Ugh it is now I guess! "Oh Sara why did you have to leave me!" I sob thanking god I'm as good at acting as I am at everything else. Perfect.
"Uh Sara, yo?"
"M-M-My giiiiirl friiiiend! And she leffffft meeee! Oh God why?!? WHY?!? Why are you so cruel?! Why'd you have to take her away from me?!" I wail loudly as I throw my self off the floor and over my bed.
I peek out of the corner of my eye and see my room mates staring at me open mouthed. I wail louder then sob hysterically. "SARA! Oh my sweet, beautiful, wonderful, perfect Sara!"
"Uh maybe we should you know leave?" Freddy asked sounding hopeful.
"No." Wanda said shortly staring at me hardly.
"Sweetums we found out what's wrong with him. Some chick. Maybe we should leave him alone now, yo." Toad said avoiding looking at me.
"Pietro. Pietro! Calm down! We want details. Who's Sara and what happened with her?" Wanda asked stepping closer to my bed.
Crap! I didn't make up a story! Ok ok I can do this. Just keep sobbing and Super speed brain don't fail me now! I sit up and wipe my face off with my sleeve then start top make up a story. "She- She was the most wonderful, perfect, graceful, talented, beautiful woman I ever met. She was the light of my life. She- She was in collage. And I thought I love would last forever. But she broke up with me! Oh God! She broke up with me and now my world is nothing more then darkness and pain!" I wail loudly and throw my self back down on the bed burying my face in my pillow.
I feel a hand gently stroking my shoulder comfortingly then suddenly it grips tightly and flips me over ruffly. "You're lying. You maybe have fooled the others but you can't fool me. I know you. And every word coming out of your mouth right now is a lie." She said softly staring me in the eye.
I freeze and push down my rising panic. I hadn't figured in Wanda being able to tell I'm lying. Damn twin connection that only comes out at the worst times!
"W-Wanda what do you mean? I'm just telling you want happened with me and Suzy." I say putting every drop of acting skills I have into my hurt and confused look.
A smirk slowly forms on Wanda's face and she raises an eyebrow. "Suzy? I thought her name was Sammy?"
"Uh I meant Sammy! Suzy was a different girl and my head's not on right right now!"
Wanda full out laughed now. "I caught you brother dear. The name you said before was Sara. Then suddenly it's Suzy then Sammy? Bro you are caught. Now fess up. What's really going on?"
Now the panic comes out fully. "I-I-I uh. Well Oh God!" I bolt out of my bed and taking one look at Fred in front of my door jump for the window.
With my speed they don't have even a chance of catching me. I'm out the window and running straight down the side of the house before they can realize I'm gone.
