======= Chapter 10 =======
(Wednesday…Lunch)
Wanda and Rogue were going to go see John and Remy since they hadn't seen them since Friday…or in Rogue's case Saturday. For the past couple of days they had been doing MoE stuff, which stopped them from going to see them.
"What excuse are you going to make up to explain to Remy why you haven't come to see him?" Wanda asked.
"Just because I haven't seen him doesn't mean I haven't talked to him," Rogue answered.
"Really? When? Usually you've been going to sleep right after our fights the X-men."
"I call Remy before I go to sleep…anyway it seems he's been busy too…wonder why?" Rogue asked no on in particular.
"Maybe he's got another girl hidden somewhere," Wanda commented shrugging. Rogue rolled her eyes at the response…she didn't think that was it…or more liked hoped. But in a way it would be Ok…because after all she had kissed a guy she shouldn't have. They both walked in to find the boys with their elbows on the counter…they both seemed very deep in thought.
"Hey" Wanda said out loud making both boys look at them startled.
"Mon amor," Remy said getting up and walking towards Rogue.
"Hey," she whispered and soon both their lips were touching, this would usually annoy Wanda but she ignored them and walked over to John who stayed sitting down.
"Waz up Wendy?"
"Not much," she answered and sat down where Remy had been a couple minutes ago. Both looked at 'Anna' and Remy, the lovebirds went to their usual…the storage room. Probably to do their couple thing…anyway they left John and 'Wendy' alone.
"So why haven't you shelia's come by a lot this week?" he asked.
"We've been busy." He smirked.
"Actually it's a good thing you haven't been coming…this is the first day we've worked this week," he answered. Wanda looked at him in surprise.
"Really…well what have you been doing?" she asked.
"Nowhere special…we've also been busy," he answered throwing her answer back at her, she rolled her eyes and that's when she noticed it...something red on his neck around the collar bone area.
"I'm not surprised," she said and moved her hand up to his neck and touched the spot. She rubbed on it and noticed something was coming off…he was a hiding the hickey with make-up. She perked an eyebrow at him. "You and Amara been busy?" she asked. John didn't answer…he blushed and kept quiet. She took that as a yes. After that both got very quiet and stood in an awkward silence.
'Why the hell does it bug me?' Wanda asked herself. 'I mean they're going out so it shouldn't bug me that he got it from her…so if I know that why am I still bothered?'
'Maybe because you know you like him as more than a friend' a voice answered…it was her conscience.
Wanda looked up and stared into John's blue eyes…they were so captivating…she felt that she would always be able to recognize them…no matter what.
'Okay…so maybe I do like John as more than a friend…maybe I've always have, but I've made up my mind that I won't interfere with his relationship with Amara…and especially now after seeing that' she thought to herself looking at his hickey. 'Oh well maybe someday…if I can't have John at least I have Pyro…Pyro' she thought. She liked him…if she didn't she wouldn't have done what she did…but still…he wasn't john (lol won't she be surprised). She did have to admit that she enjoyed it and he was cute, even though she had no idea how he looked without the goggles. They had met every night after that night…to fight of course but they couldn't help but blush every time they were near each other. Thinking about that made Wanda give a small smile…then she also thought about the reaction given by her friends.
======= Flashback =======
The MoE walked into the house after leaving Apocalypse sphinx…inside Betts, Emma and Yuriko were waiting.
"How was the mission?" Emma asked.
"Great" answered Scarlet Witch and then hurried upstairs.
"Did apocalypse decide to join?" Deathstrike asked.
"Yeah" X-23 answered and Rogue and herself ran after Wanda.
"Why do I get the feeling something has happened?" Emma asked Yuriko. Betts looked at both adults then ran after her comrades.
"HOW DID IT HAPPEN?" Lexa's voice could be heard from outside of Wanda's room.
"Wanda what were you thinking?" Rogue added. Betts opened the door and looked at them.
"Hey guys…what happened?" she asked confused.
"Scarlet slept with Pyro," X-23 blurted out. Psylocke looked at her in shock.
"Well…at least this proves she admits she feels something towards him," she said trying to calm things down.
"Ahh whatever…this is giving me a headache…I'm going to my room," Lex said and walked out the room.
"You okay luv?" Betts asked not sure why she was asking.
"Yeah," Wanda answered and then ran after Lex.
"Are you going to scream at me too?" Wanda asked looking at Rogue who was the only one there.
"No…ah'm just confused on how yah let this happened," she said and sat on her (Wanda's) bed.
"I don't know…it just happened…as if I couldn't control myself. One minute I was trying to get my arms free the next my legs were wrapped around his waist," Wanda said looking lost.
"Was he any good?" Rogue asked after lots of minutes of silence. Wanda looked at her and slowly little smirks appeared on both their faces.
"Well?" Rogue asked again.
"I don't kiss and tell," she answered coping her words from earlier that day. After some talking Rogue left and Betts walked in.
"So did you figure out what's up Lex's ass?" she asked.
"Yeah…and it's not you but some one closely related."
"Quicksilver"
"Yup…it seems she hit on him today," Betts said and gave a small smile. "She's not mad at you…she's mad at herself and unfortunately she decided to take her anger out on you. She should be fine and ready to make fun of you in the morning."
"How did you find out…I'm sure she didn't tell you?"
"I waited till she was sleeping then dug through her head…she's to stubborn to admit she has a teeny crush on him…" Betts answered and then started walking out the door. "I'm dead tired so I'll talk to you in the morning."
"Bye" Wanda said and watched her leave she then got in bed and thought about what she had done seconds later she got up and headed to her bathroom.
"I need a cold shower," she mumbled closing the door behind her.
======= End Flash back =======
Wanda sighed and looked in front of her, John was deep in thought…'probably think about Amara' she thought.
John was thinking about Amara and the hickey on his neck.
'Bloody make-up doesn't hide the hickey for more than an hour' he cursed to himself. He looked up to look at Wendy who seemed to be in lala land. He wanted to tell her that the hickey wasn't given to him by Amara…but he couldn't really say 'No I cheated on my girlfriend with this hot mutant girl…anyway I'm wearing make up so Amara doesn't find out so lets keep hush-hush…by the way now that I've officially become unfaithful to my girlfriend would you like to go out on a date?'
Nope he would look like a total ass…and in a way he was. He had a beautiful girlfriend who cared a lot about him…yet he was thinking about asking the girl in front of him out. He had wanted to for a while but he decide he didn't want to break Amara's heart by dumping her, and to make things worse he HAD cheated on Amara…with the enemy no less. 'Scarlet witch' he thought. She was gone when he woke up, after quickly getting dressed he made his way to the Magneto's orb. When he had gotten to the x-mansion he hadn't told anyone…finally he had cracked and told Gambit who had given him props. He was confused…he had done something with Scarlet Witch that he hadn't even done with Amara…why was the only question about that on his mind. Yup Yup Yup…his life was full of complications…he didn't know what he wanted anymore. Did he want the good girl (Amara), the dangerous one (SW), or did he want someone he felt comfortable with (Wendy). He sighed and looked up at Wendy who was staring back at him, both were quiet and just looked at each other's eyes.
Words weren't needed at the moment.

Lexa finished singing the song as Pietro stopped Lance's jeep in front of a cliff's edge. She looked around wondering why they were there…usually they just went to a fast food restaurant and eat will cursing around the streets. Her questions were answered when he brought up a picnic basket out of the back seat.
"Wow a picnic…what's the occasion?" she asked.
"Nothing…I have a lot on my mind and I just thought ditching the rest of school and staying here for a while would clear my thoughts…you in or do you want me to drive you back to school?"
She gave him a small smile, "I can use a day off Math." She turned to look at the beautiful ocean in front of her, for some reason looking at it and being with Pietro made her feel save, peaceful, relaxed. She turned to look at him.
"So what's bugging you?" she asked looking at his thoughtful expression. He looked at her but didn't answer.
There were a lot of things going on in his mind. Crystal being one of them, cheerleading practice had been changed to after school again so she was free during lunch. Yet there he was, in front of a beautiful ocean view with someone who wasn't his girlfriend. He had been lying to Crystal for a week now…telling her he was going off campus with the guys, but no he had been going off campus with Lexa and he didn't want to stop. He finally admitted to himself that he liked her, she had a great body but that wasn't what he liked the most about her…it was her personality he guessed. She could be sweet and lovable one minute and then completely change to a darker side…being wild and careless. He also liked talking to her…it was easy, he felt like he could tell her anything…maybe soon he would tell her he was a mutant.
Crystal was the average blond cheerleader, perky and high-spirited. Always called him just to say hi and that kind of stuff. He liked her…well duh he was going out with her but he had to admit he wanted something darker…
X-23...she annoyed the hell out of him and she knew it…she also loved it, but that's the reason he liked doing it to her. It was like revenge. She confused him though…sometimes she'd be annoying the crap out of him and trying to kill him, then she'd change to a sexy seductress acting as if she wants him…but was she really acting. He had to admit that he found her attractive and for some reason especially when she was mad and determined to kick his ass. Every time that happened her face would become sharper and her eyebrows would perk up making her eyes sharper too. A smirk would appeared on her face…she just looked so confident and in a way it said to him 'Come and get me'. Pietro shook that though away and looked at Lexa who was looking at him with her eyebrows perked, he would have though she looked at lot like X-23 but of course she didn't have the midnight hair, blue eyes, or the confidant smirk on her face. Anyway she was looking at him waiting for an answer.
"It's nothing very important," he answered and got a 'yeah right look from her'.
"Fine…it's my sister."
"What about her?"
"We fight a lot."
"So…the girls I live with are like my sisters and we fight a lot. Believe it or not that's normal with siblings," Lexa answered rolling her eyes.
"No our fighting is more…intense"
"What you wrestle?"
"No dumbass…yeah it's physical but it's also emotional."
"Did you do something to upset her?"
"Yeah but that was a long time ago…before I could really do anything, Why can't she just get over it?"
"She's a girl…we're very emotional."
"So what can I do to make her stop hating me?"
"I don't think she hates you…you just need to let her cool down. Stop fighting with her…maybe apologize."
"You try doing that while she's trying to hex you," he mumbled to himself very lowly.
"Did you say something?"
"I said I'd give it a try."
"Is that all?"
Pietro hesitated in answering. "No…actually…I'm having girl trouble." Lexa started at him and waited for him to continue. After he didn't she got annoyed and asked the questions.
"What? Trouble in paradise with your girlfriend?"
"No"
"You don't like her anymore?"
"No that's not it."
"You…like someone else besides your girlfriend?" he stayed quiet and that was a good enough answer for her.
"I'm not sure what it is…the only thing I'm certain of is that I'm attracted to her."
"Attraction to the opposite sex is also normal," she said sounding like a shrink.
"But I don't want to be attracted to them."
"Wow there's more than one?" she asked smirking at him. To say she wasn't enjoying this would be a lie.
"Shut-up…are you going to try and help or what?"
"OK OK I'm all ears. Do they have anything in common with Crystal?"
"No…not really"
"Then what attracts you to them other then physical appearance…cause if that's all your interested you don't have anything to worry about except for me calling you shallow."
"I don't know…actually I don't know them very well at all. One acts like a total bitch most of the time and the other seems to be an Angel except for a couple times…but looks can be deceiving."
"You are so confused…how can you like to three girls that are the opposite of each other? That even confuses me," Lexa said looking confused.
"You're suppose to be helping," Pietro mumbled.
"Why don't you just talk to them and try to figure out why you like them, you especially have to talk to your girlfriend because what's the point of being in a relationship if you're not honest with yourselves. Just tell her you find other woman attractive…I mean it's not like she's being a saint, she probably looks at other guys too."
"I doubt that," he answered egotistically.
"Your so full of yourself…anyway are you going to listen to me or what?" she asked rolling her eyes at him.
"Yeah" he answered looking at her, "You know I never knew you could be so…"
"Cute, sexy, loving, adorable, sweet, kind, caring," she said trying to guess the word he was going to say.
"Clever"
"That's the word you picked…even after all those things I said. Oh well I'll take it especially since complements from you are rare," she said smirking. They stayed quiet for a long time and just looked out in the ocean.
'Why do I get the feeling something bad is going to happen' Lexa thought…or thought she thought (lol).
"What do you mean?" Pietro asked turning to look at her. Lexa blushed at the fact she had spoken out loud, that moment was definitely a bad time for her intuition to kick in.
"Nothing," she said nervously. He looked at her strangely and the started the car. Lexa turned up the volume and soon did what she always did when she was in a car with Pietro…she sang along with the song. She turned Pietro and started singing to him.
/Sunshine I can call you my baby boy
You can call me your baby girl
Maybe we can spend some time (some time)
I can be your sunshine!
I can call you my baby boy You can call me your baby girl
Maybe we can spend some time (some time)
I can be your sunshine!/
Pietro gave her one last look before driving off… 'One down two to go' he though thinking that he had found what he liked about Lexa.
======= ROMY =======
It was quiet…too quiet and that was unusual for them. They had stopped fooling around and now Rogue was just enjoying the feeling of being in Remy's arms.
"So petite you free Saturday? I was thinking we could go on a date," Remy whispered into her ear. 'Anna' giggled as his breath hit her ear.
"Sorry Rem…but we already have plans."
"Oh what you gonna do?"
"Um…where going to a museum," Rogue answered knowing how lame she sounded but it was true…ok so they weren't going to see the stupid ancient stuff there…they were going to steal something but at least she was being honest. Remy perked an eyebrow but then let the subject drop and started kissing her neck. Rogue gave a quick peek at her watch to make sure they had enough time for what he was feeling like doing (;D lol). Twenty minutes left…this should be fun.
======= Anlocke =======
Betts and Warren were eating at the little café they'd gotten used to going to. Betts looked at him as he ate, he was to busy eating to notice though. While she watched him she evaluated what she though about him.
"He's definitely different than any other guy I've ever met. He's sweet, kind, caring, and he a perfect gentleman. Not even once I have caught him trying to grope me or anything like that. I might actually want to keep this one' she though and smiled at the thought. Warren who had looked up at the time saw her smile and asked "What?'
"Nothing…it's just this feels so nice," she commented.
"What does? Eating here for the billionth time?"
"Yeah…that and us," she said shyly. 'Ok what's wrong with me…I don't get shy' Betts though to herself.
"Elisabeth…I've been meaning to ask you something."
"What?"
"Well…we've been going out on dates for a long time now…and well I was wondering if you wanted to…become official," he mumbled the last part.
Betts smiled at him and answered by giving him a gentle kiss on the lips.
======= X-ietro =======
Hours later (but school is going on)
Pietro and Lexa were just walking around the park sidewalk. Lexa rolled her eyes, 'Maybe I shouldn't have asked Pietro what was bugging him' she though as he was still talking…it seemed like he never shuts up. He was now talking about a friend who hardly took showers and how awful it was living with his stench…not to mention that he (toad not pietro lol) had developed a small crush on his sister. She looked up at his face and occasionally shook her head to make it look like she was listening when really she was thing about other stuff.
'Shit stupid Omega Red' she thought. Omega Red had heard that the MoE was very powerful and had asked Sinister to make them go on a mission to prove it. So now on Saturday they had to a museum and steal a well-guarded artifact, that's the reason they had been missing from school for couple of days…they were planning how to do it without getting caught or thinking of stuff to knock the security guards out. Anyway the night before they had come up with a good plan. They would go to the museum as civilians then hide out while the closed getting themselves locked inside after they were closed and only the night security guards would be there. The only thing they had to worry about now was that they X-men, BoM or that the Acolytes didn't ruin the party.
'Hmm…Quicksilver' the biggest reason she didn't want to feel anything towards him but hatred was Wanda, she had told them about what had happened and even though it was such a long time ago Wanda was still hurting. Funny how she would talk about how much she hated them but she had never said her brother's true name…oh well probably isn't that important. Then there was also Rogue…she hated Mystique more than she hated everyone else. She also had a great dislike towards the brotherhood members…they had know what she was up to and they hadn't done anything to stop her…they were just as guilty as she was. It's not a good idea to fall for someone two of you closest friends hate…but unfortunately she had figured out she liked Quicksilver more than she led on. 'There's nothing to do but wait to see what happens' were her last thought about him and their other enemies.
She tuned to look at Pietro who was still at it…she had to give a small smile though. 'Who knew he was such a chatterbox…I guess the trouble's gonna be shutting him up now'. She kept looking at him and then couldn't help it…she stared at him from head to toe. 'To bad he has a girlfriend…he's cute…he's friendly…he's social…never boring…everything I look for in a guy' They were now walking by a little building and Pietro kept talking, he was also starting to get on Lex's nerves…she couldn't take it anymore she did the one thing she thought could shut an guy up.
Pietro found himself pinned to the brick building they were passing by…Lex was less than an inch away, suddenly he felt soft lips on his. He licked her lips making hers part, they explored each others mouth but Lexa pulled away. She looked up at him in shock and then walked away towards the jeep.
'SHIT…okay maybe doing that was the wrong way to shut him up…at least it worked though. Damn it…STUPID STUPID STUPID' she scolded herself. After hearing him start walking behind her she couldn't help but think, 'He deepened the kiss…wonder what that could mean'
======= MoE =======
Saturday
The girls were split up inside the museum, two of them were in the upstairs portion and the other two were downstairs. It was 9:58...two minutes until closing time. Lexa was upstairs in the eating section finishing the food rogue had told her to buy to make pretend she was tourist. She was deep in thought thinking about Pietro…things had gotten really awkward between them after the kiss…but what could she do about it. A security officer interrupted her thoughts.
"Ms. I'm afraid we're closing"
"Oh I'm terribly sorry…I'll just get out of your way" she answered and got up throwing the trash away. She then followed the crowd leaving and when she made sure no one was watching she hid behind a pillar. Unlike the rest of her teammates she wouldn't have to find a hiding spot because she would be able to sniff the guards coming around and easily escape them with out being noticed. She quickly took a peek and looked over to the restroom are to see a brunette walk inside…she smirked. "Rogue"
Rogue walked into the ladies room…she couldn't think of anywhere to go so she slowly flew to the ceiling and waited for a guard to come and make sure no one was in a stall. After he would leave they would strike.
Downstairs a guard was escorting people out of the Egyptian exhibit. Wanda quickly snuck way from the crowd and found herself looking at an empty opened mummy case. She made sure no one was looking and carefully got in.
'Sinister is gonna owe me big…and he's just lucky there's no dead person in here' she thought and then felt something slowly crawl up her arm. Her eyes widened 'I'm not gonna have a goodnights rest tonight' she though and started shaking her hand slowly trying to get whatever it was off.
Betts was also downstairs but unlike the others she was dressed in a security guard uniform. She watched as people left the building and a man locked the door up then put up the closed sign. He walked over to her and looked her from head to toe.
"You new around here?"
"Yes sir"
"What are you suppose to be working on?"
"Security cameras sir"
"Then what are you doing here?" he asked curiously.
"Making sure the door were locked…I'll be going now," she said walked away reading his mind to make sure he had bought it. She then walked towards the main security room when she walked in the real people in charged were going to ask who she was but before they could Betts hit them with mind bolts and they quickly fell to the ground (I have no idea what the mind bolts do…lol anyone care to explain?)
After locking them up in a nearby room she went to the computer screens and turned all the cameras off along with any alarms that could be triggered. She then got up and closed the door locking it so no one would e able to get in.
'Time to play' she called out to the others. Reluctantly they all got out of their hiding spots and went towards their destination.
======= X-men =======
"The MoE is at the Bayville Museum as we speak" Prof X told all the young mutants in the rec room.
"Shouldn't we go stop them?" Teachers pet Scott Summers asked.
"No…I want all the X-men to stay and train for a war that is approaching…according to Destiny," Xavier answered and then looked at Magneto.
"You however…"Magneto started and looked at the BoM and his Acolyte members. "Will go and stop them…now," as soon as he finished they all started moving to leave.
"Aren't you two going?" Prof. X asked Mystique and Magneto, the both shook their head 'NO'.
"I think that trying to get Wolverine here is more important," Eric said and Xavier nodded.
======= MoE =======
The girls were in front of a case surrounded with velvet ropes.
'Guess this thing really is special' Lexa thought but didn't really understand why…it looked like a normal gold bracelet…ok so it was thicker than normal but whatever. The others soon got there too.
"Betts did yah turn the alarms off?" Rogue asked the raven-haired girl (just in case you don't know…they're not in uniform).
"Yup" Rogue nodded and she walked over to the case, she tried lifting it up but found that it was actually pretty heavy, before she ask for help Lexa face shot up and looked around.
"What?" Wanda asked.
"Security guards"
Wanda rolled her eyes, "Why don't you get that, I'll handle the guards," she said.
Telling the others to handle the case.
"Nuh-uh…take a buddy luv," Betts said and nodded her head towards Lexa.
"Betts I don't need anyone to come with me…I am capable of handling myself and your forgetting I can kick major ass…including yours," Wanda ended with a smirk.
"Just take her with yah Wanda," Rogue said and turned to look at the case.
"Fine…come on you big baby."
"I am NOT a baby," Lexa told her.
"You're the youngest of us which makes you the baby," Wanda answered knowing she was getting of the young girls nerves.
"Whatever" Lexa countered.
Rogue and Betts rolled their eyes as the other two walked away and their voices became whispers. They soon got back to work and Betts helped Rogue with the case.
Lexa and Wanda walked around looking for the security guards that Lexa had caught scent of.
"So where are they?" Wanda asked annoyed.
"Wait" was the annoyed reply. 'Weird…I can't catch the scent of anything…I've noticed this has happened a lot…especially when I'm at school. I wonder if there's something wrong with me?' Lexa asked her self as Wanda walked ahead of her and turned a corner. Soon Lexa did to but regretted it, the BoM and Acolytes were in front of them. Lexa stood on Wanda's right and stood still…not knowing if they were going to find out whom they really were.
"YOU!" Quicksilver said to Wanda…and gave a surprised look at seeing Lexa there.
'Shit he recognizes Wanda' Lexa thought…that was shocking but nothing could have prepared her for what happened next.
"Pietro" Wanda spit his name out like poison. After a minute of silence from everyone in the room Lexa spoke.
"Pie…Pietro?" she stuttered. Quicksilver looked at her then looked down at the floor.
"Uh…hey Lexa," he said softly…Lexa looked at him in shock…he didn't know…he had recognized Wanda because she was his sister but he didn't know…what she now knew…she had kissed the enemy. Wanda was in shock too, 'Pietro knows Lexa? Well of course he knows her but he knows her as X-23...how does he know the real her?' she questioned herself. Then it hit her…that guy Lexa talked a lot about…the one she went to lunch with…it was…No it couldn't be.
"Oh Lex…I'm sorry" Wanda said and looked at her young friend who seemed to still be in shock. Pietro looked confused…okay he was already confused. His sister was in front of him looking different than her usual appearance…and she knew Lexa…this was weird. He was also confused that Wanda had apologized for something. He looked at Lexa.
"What?" he asked. "Do you have something against mutants? He asked thinking that was the reason for her silence.
"This is nothing to do with you being a mutant," Lexa snapped.
"Actually it sorta does," Wanda commented. Before Lexa could respond she was pinned to the wall she was next to by an unknown person. She looked up into his eyes and her scent senses suddenly came back. Her eyes narrowed…Weapon X. Wanda watched as her friend struggled against a man she had never seen before.
Lexa tried getting out of his grasp but couldn't…that's when she noticed that his grip was on her watch…if he takes it off her cover would be blown.
"He has my watch," she called out to Wanda. Wanda eyes widened in realization and started walking towards them…she was so close she could probably touch the man but something caught her attention…someone had called out to her.
"Wendy stay away from him…he's dangerous." Wanda looked up at the voice…Pyro just called her Wendy. She started at him confused…but then with narrowed eyes turned t the man that had Lex pinned.
"Wendy don't get closer."
"Why the hell are you calling her Wendy?" Pietro asked looking at Pyro, Pyro gave him a confused look but then turned to look at 'Wendy'.
'Wendy's' hand started to glow blue and soon the man was glowing as well. She then threw her hand at the opposite wall and the man went flying crashing into it. Wanda heard a 'click' and slowly turned to look at Lexa before looking at her friend something on the floor caught her eye…Lexa's watch. She looked up at Lexa…she was staring down at her watch…with blue eyes and her hair was a midnight blue. She then slowly looked up and met sapphire eyes…Wanda's.
Soon her gaze turned to similar eyes. Pietro was starting back at her, no longer confused…but shocked. They girl he had become closed to…someone he considered a best friend…the girl he had shared a kiss with three day's before…she was…X-23.
/And I know I never knew you/
Everything was quiet.
Lexa slowly bended down and grabbed the watch that was near her feet…her eyes never left his. She then put it on and pressed the blue button once, she was back to the way he (Pietro) knew her. She then pressed it again; her midnight hair was back…along with her X-23 outfit. Pietro looked at her…she was no longer Lexa…now she really was X-23.
Wanda started at both not knowing what was happing between them but then she moved to look at Pyro.
He had called her Wendy.
With a small flick of her wrist the straps on Pyro's goggles snapped and fell to the ground. Wanda eyes widened…thoughts she had earlier in the week come back to her.
'She felt that she would always be able to recognize them…no matter what'
/Your mind your pain I will melt your winter tears/
'John'
"GUYS we have the loot!" Betts said walking into the room and stopped when she saw what was going on. Rogue was close behind an also stopped at the sight of them.
'What the hell is going on?' Betts asked telepathically seeing as Lexa was in full X-23 uniform. She got no answer so went digging into their minds. She turned to look at Rogue with a worried look.
'What?' Rogue asked.
'Um…Wanda just found out that John is Pyro and Lexa just found out that the guy she's been going to lunch with is Pietro Maximoff aka Quicksilver' was the response she got…making her jaw open.
Rogue looked at all the people in the room, from her ex members on the BoM, to the acolytes, to her friends who hadn't moved, and then she turned to look at Pyro again. Pyro was John…she didn't even want to think about what was going through Wanda's head at the moment. Then a thought hit her…
John…was always with Remy…
Everything started to piece together in her head…she didn't have to turn to the demon eyed Cajun to know…she just did. It explained why she had seen him when she had waken up after they made love…why Gambit's kiss was so familiar…why she liked both…because they were…one in the same.
/If you say you will
If you could say you will/
'How coulda ah have been so stupid…it was right in mah face…and ah never saw it' Rogue though and her fake brown eyes turned to meet red on black. The expression on his face showed the realization had hit him too.
Everything was quiet…Betts couldn't take it anymore she slowly moved her hand to her watch and pressed the button…seconds later appearing as Psylocke. Even that didn't seem to make anyone move…there was no longer anything to be surprised about.
'Guys…I'm sure your going through a lot and I'd hate to interrupt but…we have to get this to sinister and omega' Betts told them.
Lexa looked at Pietro with a sad look in her eyes, she blinked and then they appeared narrowed she then turned to look at the man who had pinned her earlier.
"Weapon X" she snarled and the others turned to look at her and then at him. Without warning and before anyone could do anything she charged at him. When she was about to make contact, Lexa felt someone's hand on her wrist and then she was thrown a couple feet away. She landed on her feet and looked up to glare at the intruder, it was…Deathstrike.
Weapon X and death strike started at each other than he spoke.
"Yuriko" he said in surprise.
"Logan" she answered carelessly. X-23 watched confused, Deathstrike KNEW Weapon X.
"Well Well Well…if it isn't the brotherhood of evil mutants and the Acolytes," a voice interrupted all their thoughts. Betts turned to find the white Queen walking towards them, as did the others. The white queen reached Psylocke and grabbed the bracelet out of her hands. After that happened a portal opened a couple feet behind them.
"We'd love to stay and kick your asses but we unfortunately have better things to do," she said turned around to walk through the gateway. Before she walked in though she called back to her team and commanded, "Lets go!"
Deathstrike glared at wolverine and her adamantium nails slowly came out. "Will will meet again soon Logan." She slowly backed away from him and passed X-23 who looked determined to get a piece of him right there. Noticing she was about to strike Deathstrike grabbed her wrist once again.
"Another time Lex," and she slowly pulled the girl away from wolverine. She then let go of her a walked into the vortex. Psylocke looked around at them, she sighed and walked through after her mentors thinking, 'Bloody hell…how were we so fucken careless we should have put or costumes on'.
Lexa, Rogue and Wanda were the ones that were reluctant to go…slowly X-23 walked backwards to the vortex not wanting to turn her back on the enemy. She walked through her face facing them all as she disappeared.
Wanda also walked backwards, as she walked she pressed her button and soon was wearing all red, her hair was to her shoulders. She stopped walking when she reached Rogue and both just stared at the boys. Rogue looked at gambit and couldn't help it she spoke…
"The world's smaller than we both first thought…huh?" (Remember in chap 4 when they met at the club she said "it's a small world"? Well she's referring to that) All he did was raise both eyebrows at the comment. Rogue then gave Wanda a side-glance, "Guess you're not the only one that fucked with the enemy," she mumbled so only scarlet could hear. Before Scarlet Witch could comment X-23 walked out of the portal looking annoyed.
"White Queen wants to know what part of 'Lets Go' didn't you understand."
The other two Goths didn't even turn to look at her but they did slowly started walking backwards towards the portal. They soon reached her; Lexa was on the left, Rogue in the middle and Scarlet Witch on the right. Rogue was the last to press the button on her watch, as she did her emerald eyes appeared and two white strips caressed her cheeks.
/Convalescing bruised I set my mind awake
Dare to take another look/
They walked into the portal at the same time, as they did the portal closed and the last thing the Brotherhood and Acolyte saw were their eyes.
Ice Blue: Emerald: Sapphire
/If you say you will
If you could say you will/
======= MoE =======
The MoE got out of the portal and found themselves in their living room…without saying anything…Rogue, Wanda, and Lexa went their separate way leaving the adults and Betts in the living room.
"What happened? I don't think the BoM and Acolytes finding out your true identities is what's really bugging them?" Emma said and looked at Betts for an explanation. Betts shrugged.
"I think it's be best if we left them alone for a while…they have things to figure out…and they have to do it alone." Betts commented and looked up at the stairs were two of her friends had gone up towards.
"So I guess this means we'll be taking this to Sinister personally," Deathstrike commented and picked up the golden bracelet.
"Guess so. Anyway Elisabeth the reason we went to the museum was because I was getting an eerie feeling that something bad was going to happen and it did. So how did they catch you…didn't X-23 catch their scent?"
"I don't know. Rogue and me where getting the bracelet, Wanda and Lex decided to go after security guards. When we found them Lexa was already in X-23 gear," Betts answered and then files on the coffee table caught her attention. "What are these?"
"Well the X-men will now know our true identities but we will too…we finally found all the missing info on the members of their teams that we didn't have…for example the true identity of Gambit," Emma said proudly.
'To late for that' Betts though thinking about the fact Rogue already knew who Gambit truly was.
"Anyway why don't you check them out while we go deliver this to Mr. Sinister," Emma said and a purple vortex appeared.
"Whatever you say luv," Betts commented and watched them leave. After they were gone she looked at the new files. She found Gambits, Pyro's, Quicksilver, Magma's and many more updated profiles and yes it looked like the girls were going to have to do a lot of thinking. She was going to close it when a picture of Angel slipped out of the file. She picked it up and looked at it.
/King of moon gloomy afternoon/
"Hmm…I haven't read anything on angel so this should be entertaining," she said to her self and looked for his profile…that probably wasn't the greatest idea in the world. She finally found it and read it…when she finished the file fell out of her hands and onto the ground.
/Losing track of word and metre/
'Guess…they aren't the only ones that have some thinking to do' Betts thought to herself and walked up the stairs. Minutes later she found herself on the rooftop.
/Still shaking in this tear room Like a sick child/
Most of that week she had been giddy…she had her first boyfriend in Bayville. He was sweet, caring and charming. She thought nothing could ruin that…she was wrong.
/Still shaking nothing reconciled
Like a sick child/
Her boyfriend was her enemy…
======= X-23 =======
X-23 was outside in the backyard sitting down under a tree her back leaning on it. It was dark and cold…but at the moment she didn't give a damn.
/Melancholia colliding out of mind/
'How could I have been so stupid…he was under my nose this whole time and I never noticed. Why the FUCK didn't I pick his scent up' she questioned herself angrily. She had done the one thing she didn't want to…she had gotten to close to him…and now she didn't know if she could back away.
/In a silver swirl I take a lungful in/
She took a deep breath and both her hands went up to her head and went through her midnight hair. She had so many feelings bubbling around inside of her and she didn't know what some were or how she was going to deal with them all. She was confused…
/Blow a fistful out if you could say you will/
She sighed…there was nothing she could do now…what was done was done…but she couldn't help but feel like going back in time and stopping herself from ever getting close to Pietro Maximoff.
She looked up at the moon…
…Her mixed feeling would just have to run their course.
======= Scarlet Witch =======
/King of moon gloomy afternoon/
Wanda was in her room, her body in the middle of the bed and she was looking up at the ceiling. Her eyes, which would usually be cold and full of anger after battles were surprisingly, empty looking.
/Losing track of word and metre/
She didn't know what to think…she had had sex with Pyro exactly one week ago…and she had finally admitted to herself that she had feelings for John less than a week ago. The same thing was going through her head over and over again like a broken record player…
…Pyro was John…
/Make your final touch people talk too much/
Memories of their lovemaking came to her as she though about it…remembering all his gentle touches made her get Goosebumps. She had promised herself she wouldn't interfere in John's relationship with Amara…yet she had done it without knowing.
/Madman screams an unknown language/
She didn't want to feel all that she was feeling…confusion…anger…love. Why did she have to have sex with the guy she had promised she'd leave alone…the guy she was falling for…the guy she HAD fallen for…
She felt like screaming…like bashing her head against the wall a thousand times…like jumping off a building…she felt sick…like throwing up…
Wanda bolted straight up on her bed…she really was feeling sick and she did feel like throwing. She ran to her bathroom and the door shut behind her…
======= Rogue =======
/Still shaking in the tear room
Like a sick child/
Rogue was sitting on the floor with her back leaning on her bed; in her arms was an acoustic guitar. She only played when there was something really bugging her…playing helped clear her mind.
'I knew' she thought. 'A part of me knew the whole time that Remy was Gambit…and I blinded myself to it'.
She kept playing the guitar…trying to get lost in the music…wanting to forget everything…wanting to forget Remy…wanting to stop the feelings she had for him…wanting to become the coldhearted bitch she knew she was…
/Still shaking nothing reconciled Like a sick child/
She was interrupted by a cell phone ringing. Rogue turned to look at the hunter green phone…Remy had given it to her…it was their private line. He was the only one that had the number…they had decided to do it like that so no one would ever interrupt them by wanting to use the phone. She reluctantly picked it up…
/Still shaking nothing reconciled/
A solitary tear fell down her cheek as the cell phone hit the wall across her…breaking in half and leaving a dent in the wall.
/like a sick child/

======= Chapter 10 =======
(Wednesday…Lunch)
Wanda and Rogue were going to go see John and Remy since they hadn't seen them since Friday…or in Rogue's case Saturday. For the past couple of days they had been doing MoE stuff, which stopped them from going to see them.
"What excuse are you going to make up to explain to Remy why you haven't come to see him?" Wanda asked.
"Just because I haven't seen him doesn't mean I haven't talked to him," Rogue answered.
"Really? When? Usually you've been going to sleep right after our fights the X-men."
"I call Remy before I go to sleep…anyway it seems he's been busy too…wonder why?" Rogue asked no on in particular.
"Maybe he's got another girl hidden somewhere," Wanda commented shrugging. Rogue rolled her eyes at the response…she didn't think that was it…or more liked hoped. But in a way it would be Ok…because after all she had kissed a guy she shouldn't have. They both walked in to find the boys with their elbows on the counter…they both seemed very deep in thought.
"Hey" Wanda said out loud making both boys look at them startled.
"Mon amor," Remy said getting up and walking towards Rogue.
"Hey," she whispered and soon both their lips were touching, this would usually annoy Wanda but she ignored them and walked over to John who stayed sitting down.
"Waz up Wendy?"
"Not much," she answered and sat down where Remy had been a couple minutes ago. Both looked at 'Anna' and Remy, the lovebirds went to their usual…the storage room. Probably to do their couple thing…anyway they left John and 'Wendy' alone.
"So why haven't you shelia's come by a lot this week?" he asked.
"We've been busy." He smirked.
"Actually it's a good thing you haven't been coming…this is the first day we've worked this week," he answered. Wanda looked at him in surprise.
"Really…well what have you been doing?" she asked.
"Nowhere special…we've also been busy," he answered throwing her answer back at her, she rolled her eyes and that's when she noticed it...something red on his neck around the collar bone area.
"I'm not surprised," she said and moved her hand up to his neck and touched the spot. She rubbed on it and noticed something was coming off…he was a hiding the hickey with make-up. She perked an eyebrow at him. "You and Amara been busy?" she asked. John didn't answer…he blushed and kept quiet. She took that as a yes. After that both got very quiet and stood in an awkward silence.
'Why the hell does it bug me?' Wanda asked herself. 'I mean they're going out so it shouldn't bug me that he got it from her…so if I know that why am I still bothered?'
'Maybe because you know you like him as more than a friend' a voice answered…it was her conscience.
Wanda looked up and stared into John's blue eyes…they were so captivating…she felt that she would always be able to recognize them…no matter what.
'Okay…so maybe I do like John as more than a friend…maybe I've always have, but I've made up my mind that I won't interfere with his relationship with Amara…and especially now after seeing that' she thought to herself looking at his hickey. 'Oh well maybe someday…if I can't have John at least I have Pyro…Pyro' she thought. She liked him…if she didn't she wouldn't have done what she did…but still…he wasn't john (lol won't she be surprised). She did have to admit that she enjoyed it and he was cute, even though she had no idea how he looked without the goggles. They had met every night after that night…to fight of course but they couldn't help but blush every time they were near each other. Thinking about that made Wanda give a small smile…then she also thought about the reaction given by her friends.
======= Flashback =======
The MoE walked into the house after leaving Apocalypse sphinx…inside Betts, Emma and Yuriko were waiting.
"How was the mission?" Emma asked.
"Great" answered Scarlet Witch and then hurried upstairs.
"Did apocalypse decide to join?" Deathstrike asked.
"Yeah" X-23 answered and Rogue and herself ran after Wanda.
"Why do I get the feeling something has happened?" Emma asked Yuriko. Betts looked at both adults then ran after her comrades.
"HOW DID IT HAPPEN?" Lexa's voice could be heard from outside of Wanda's room.
"Wanda what were you thinking?" Rogue added. Betts opened the door and looked at them.
"Hey guys…what happened?" she asked confused.
"Scarlet slept with Pyro," X-23 blurted out. Psylocke looked at her in shock.
"Well…at least this proves she admits she feels something towards him," she said trying to calm things down.
"Ahh whatever…this is giving me a headache…I'm going to my room," Lex said and walked out the room.
"You okay luv?" Betts asked not sure why she was asking.
"Yeah," Wanda answered and then ran after Lex.
"Are you going to scream at me too?" Wanda asked looking at Rogue who was the only one there.
"No…ah'm just confused on how yah let this happened," she said and sat on her (Wanda's) bed.
"I don't know…it just happened…as if I couldn't control myself. One minute I was trying to get my arms free the next my legs were wrapped around his waist," Wanda said looking lost.
"Was he any good?" Rogue asked after lots of minutes of silence. Wanda looked at her and slowly little smirks appeared on both their faces.
"Well?" Rogue asked again.
"I don't kiss and tell," she answered coping her words from earlier that day. After some talking Rogue left and Betts walked in.
"So did you figure out what's up Lex's ass?" she asked.
"Yeah…and it's not you but some one closely related."
"Quicksilver"
"Yup…it seems she hit on him today," Betts said and gave a small smile. "She's not mad at you…she's mad at herself and unfortunately she decided to take her anger out on you. She should be fine and ready to make fun of you in the morning."
"How did you find out…I'm sure she didn't tell you?"
"I waited till she was sleeping then dug through her head…she's to stubborn to admit she has a teeny crush on him…" Betts answered and then started walking out the door. "I'm dead tired so I'll talk to you in the morning."
"Bye" Wanda said and watched her leave she then got in bed and thought about what she had done seconds later she got up and headed to her bathroom.
"I need a cold shower," she mumbled closing the door behind her.
======= End Flash back =======
Wanda sighed and looked in front of her, John was deep in thought…'probably think about Amara' she thought.
John was thinking about Amara and the hickey on his neck.
'Bloody make-up doesn't hide the hickey for more than an hour' he cursed to himself. He looked up to look at Wendy who seemed to be in lala land. He wanted to tell her that the hickey wasn't given to him by Amara…but he couldn't really say 'No I cheated on my girlfriend with this hot mutant girl…anyway I'm wearing make up so Amara doesn't find out so lets keep hush-hush…by the way now that I've officially become unfaithful to my girlfriend would you like to go out on a date?'
Nope he would look like a total ass…and in a way he was. He had a beautiful girlfriend who cared a lot about him…yet he was thinking about asking the girl in front of him out. He had wanted to for a while but he decide he didn't want to break Amara's heart by dumping her, and to make things worse he HAD cheated on Amara…with the enemy no less. 'Scarlet witch' he thought. She was gone when he woke up, after quickly getting dressed he made his way to the Magneto's orb. When he had gotten to the x-mansion he hadn't told anyone…finally he had cracked and told Gambit who had given him props. He was confused…he had done something with Scarlet Witch that he hadn't even done with Amara…why was the only question about that on his mind. Yup Yup Yup…his life was full of complications…he didn't know what he wanted anymore. Did he want the good girl (Amara), the dangerous one (SW), or did he want someone he felt comfortable with (Wendy). He sighed and looked up at Wendy who was staring back at him, both were quiet and just looked at each other's eyes.
Words weren't needed at the moment.

Lexa finished singing the song as Pietro stopped Lance's jeep in front of a cliff's edge. She looked around wondering why they were there…usually they just went to a fast food restaurant and eat will cursing around the streets. Her questions were answered when he brought up a picnic basket out of the back seat.
"Wow a picnic…what's the occasion?" she asked.
"Nothing…I have a lot on my mind and I just thought ditching the rest of school and staying here for a while would clear my thoughts…you in or do you want me to drive you back to school?"
She gave him a small smile, "I can use a day off Math." She turned to look at the beautiful ocean in front of her, for some reason looking at it and being with Pietro made her feel save, peaceful, relaxed. She turned to look at him.
"So what's bugging you?" she asked looking at his thoughtful expression. He looked at her but didn't answer.
There were a lot of things going on in his mind. Crystal being one of them, cheerleading practice had been changed to after school again so she was free during lunch. Yet there he was, in front of a beautiful ocean view with someone who wasn't his girlfriend. He had been lying to Crystal for a week now…telling her he was going off campus with the guys, but no he had been going off campus with Lexa and he didn't want to stop. He finally admitted to himself that he liked her, she had a great body but that wasn't what he liked the most about her…it was her personality he guessed. She could be sweet and lovable one minute and then completely change to a darker side…being wild and careless. He also liked talking to her…it was easy, he felt like he could tell her anything…maybe soon he would tell her he was a mutant.
Crystal was the average blond cheerleader, perky and high-spirited. Always called him just to say hi and that kind of stuff. He liked her…well duh he was going out with her but he had to admit he wanted something darker…
X-23...she annoyed the hell out of him and she knew it…she also loved it, but that's the reason he liked doing it to her. It was like revenge. She confused him though…sometimes she'd be annoying the crap out of him and trying to kill him, then she'd change to a sexy seductress acting as if she wants him…but was she really acting. He had to admit that he found her attractive and for some reason especially when she was mad and determined to kick his ass. Every time that happened her face would become sharper and her eyebrows would perk up making her eyes sharper too. A smirk would appeared on her face…she just looked so confident and in a way it said to him 'Come and get me'. Pietro shook that though away and looked at Lexa who was looking at him with her eyebrows perked, he would have though she looked at lot like X-23 but of course she didn't have the midnight hair, blue eyes, or the confidant smirk on her face. Anyway she was looking at him waiting for an answer.
"It's nothing very important," he answered and got a 'yeah right look from her'.
"Fine…it's my sister."
"What about her?"
"We fight a lot."
"So…the girls I live with are like my sisters and we fight a lot. Believe it or not that's normal with siblings," Lexa answered rolling her eyes.
"No our fighting is more…intense"
"What you wrestle?"
"No dumbass…yeah it's physical but it's also emotional."
"Did you do something to upset her?"
"Yeah but that was a long time ago…before I could really do anything, Why can't she just get over it?"
"She's a girl…we're very emotional."
"So what can I do to make her stop hating me?"
"I don't think she hates you…you just need to let her cool down. Stop fighting with her…maybe apologize."
"You try doing that while she's trying to hex you," he mumbled to himself very lowly.
"Did you say something?"
"I said I'd give it a try."
"Is that all?"
Pietro hesitated in answering. "No…actually…I'm having girl trouble." Lexa started at him and waited for him to continue. After he didn't she got annoyed and asked the questions.
"What? Trouble in paradise with your girlfriend?"
"No"
"You don't like her anymore?"
"No that's not it."
"You…like someone else besides your girlfriend?" he stayed quiet and that was a good enough answer for her.
"I'm not sure what it is…the only thing I'm certain of is that I'm attracted to her."
"Attraction to the opposite sex is also normal," she said sounding like a shrink.
"But I don't want to be attracted to them."
"Wow there's more than one?" she asked smirking at him. To say she wasn't enjoying this would be a lie.
"Shut-up…are you going to try and help or what?"
"OK OK I'm all ears. Do they have anything in common with Crystal?"
"No…not really"
"Then what attracts you to them other then physical appearance…cause if that's all your interested you don't have anything to worry about except for me calling you shallow."
"I don't know…actually I don't know them very well at all. One acts like a total bitch most of the time and the other seems to be an Angel except for a couple times…but looks can be deceiving."
"You are so confused…how can you like to three girls that are the opposite of each other? That even confuses me," Lexa said looking confused.
"You're suppose to be helping," Pietro mumbled.
"Why don't you just talk to them and try to figure out why you like them, you especially have to talk to your girlfriend because what's the point of being in a relationship if you're not honest with yourselves. Just tell her you find other woman attractive…I mean it's not like she's being a saint, she probably looks at other guys too."
"I doubt that," he answered egotistically.
"Your so full of yourself…anyway are you going to listen to me or what?" she asked rolling her eyes at him.
"Yeah" he answered looking at her, "You know I never knew you could be so…"
"Cute, sexy, loving, adorable, sweet, kind, caring," she said trying to guess the word he was going to say.
"Clever"
"That's the word you picked…even after all those things I said. Oh well I'll take it especially since complements from you are rare," she said smirking. They stayed quiet for a long time and just looked out in the ocean.
'Why do I get the feeling something bad is going to happen' Lexa thought…or thought she thought (lol).
"What do you mean?" Pietro asked turning to look at her. Lexa blushed at the fact she had spoken out loud, that moment was definitely a bad time for her intuition to kick in.
"Nothing," she said nervously. He looked at her strangely and the started the car. Lexa turned up the volume and soon did what she always did when she was in a car with Pietro…she sang along with the song. She turned Pietro and started singing to him.
/Sunshine I can call you my baby boy
You can call me your baby girl
Maybe we can spend some time (some time)
I can be your sunshine!
I can call you my baby boy You can call me your baby girl
Maybe we can spend some time (some time)
I can be your sunshine!/
Pietro gave her one last look before driving off… 'One down two to go' he though thinking that he had found what he liked about Lexa.
======= ROMY =======
It was quiet…too quiet and that was unusual for them. They had stopped fooling around and now Rogue was just enjoying the feeling of being in Remy's arms.
"So petite you free Saturday? I was thinking we could go on a date," Remy whispered into her ear. 'Anna' giggled as his breath hit her ear.
"Sorry Rem…but we already have plans."
"Oh what you gonna do?"
"Um…where going to a museum," Rogue answered knowing how lame she sounded but it was true…ok so they weren't going to see the stupid ancient stuff there…they were going to steal something but at least she was being honest. Remy perked an eyebrow but then let the subject drop and started kissing her neck. Rogue gave a quick peek at her watch to make sure they had enough time for what he was feeling like doing (;D lol). Twenty minutes left…this should be fun.
======= Anlocke =======
Betts and Warren were eating at the little café they'd gotten used to going to. Betts looked at him as he ate, he was to busy eating to notice though. While she watched him she evaluated what she though about him.
"He's definitely different than any other guy I've ever met. He's sweet, kind, caring, and he a perfect gentleman. Not even once I have caught him trying to grope me or anything like that. I might actually want to keep this one' she though and smiled at the thought. Warren who had looked up at the time saw her smile and asked "What?'
"Nothing…it's just this feels so nice," she commented.
"What does? Eating here for the billionth time?"
"Yeah…that and us," she said shyly. 'Ok what's wrong with me…I don't get shy' Betts though to herself.
"Elisabeth…I've been meaning to ask you something."
"What?"
"Well…we've been going out on dates for a long time now…and well I was wondering if you wanted to…become official," he mumbled the last part.
Betts smiled at him and answered by giving him a gentle kiss on the lips.
======= X-ietro =======
Hours later (but school is going on)
Pietro and Lexa were just walking around the park sidewalk. Lexa rolled her eyes, 'Maybe I shouldn't have asked Pietro what was bugging him' she though as he was still talking…it seemed like he never shuts up. He was now talking about a friend who hardly took showers and how awful it was living with his stench…not to mention that he (toad not pietro lol) had developed a small crush on his sister. She looked up at his face and occasionally shook her head to make it look like she was listening when really she was thing about other stuff.
'Shit stupid Omega Red' she thought. Omega Red had heard that the MoE was very powerful and had asked Sinister to make them go on a mission to prove it. So now on Saturday they had to a museum and steal a well-guarded artifact, that's the reason they had been missing from school for couple of days…they were planning how to do it without getting caught or thinking of stuff to knock the security guards out. Anyway the night before they had come up with a good plan. They would go to the museum as civilians then hide out while the closed getting themselves locked inside after they were closed and only the night security guards would be there. The only thing they had to worry about now was that they X-men, BoM or that the Acolytes didn't ruin the party.
'Hmm…Quicksilver' the biggest reason she didn't want to feel anything towards him but hatred was Wanda, she had told them about what had happened and even though it was such a long time ago Wanda was still hurting. Funny how she would talk about how much she hated them but she had never said her brother's true name…oh well probably isn't that important. Then there was also Rogue…she hated Mystique more than she hated everyone else. She also had a great dislike towards the brotherhood members…they had know what she was up to and they hadn't done anything to stop her…they were just as guilty as she was. It's not a good idea to fall for someone two of you closest friends hate…but unfortunately she had figured out she liked Quicksilver more than she led on. 'There's nothing to do but wait to see what happens' were her last thought about him and their other enemies.
She tuned to look at Pietro who was still at it…she had to give a small smile though. 'Who knew he was such a chatterbox…I guess the trouble's gonna be shutting him up now'. She kept looking at him and then couldn't help it…she stared at him from head to toe. 'To bad he has a girlfriend…he's cute…he's friendly…he's social…never boring…everything I look for in a guy' They were now walking by a little building and Pietro kept talking, he was also starting to get on Lex's nerves…she couldn't take it anymore she did the one thing she thought could shut an guy up.
Pietro found himself pinned to the brick building they were passing by…Lex was less than an inch away, suddenly he felt soft lips on his. He licked her lips making hers part, they explored each others mouth but Lexa pulled away. She looked up at him in shock and then walked away towards the jeep.
'SHIT…okay maybe doing that was the wrong way to shut him up…at least it worked though. Damn it…STUPID STUPID STUPID' she scolded herself. After hearing him start walking behind her she couldn't help but think, 'He deepened the kiss…wonder what that could mean'
======= MoE =======
Saturday
The girls were split up inside the museum, two of them were in the upstairs portion and the other two were downstairs. It was 9:58...two minutes until closing time. Lexa was upstairs in the eating section finishing the food rogue had told her to buy to make pretend she was tourist. She was deep in thought thinking about Pietro…things had gotten really awkward between them after the kiss…but what could she do about it. A security officer interrupted her thoughts.
"Ms. I'm afraid we're closing"
"Oh I'm terribly sorry…I'll just get out of your way" she answered and got up throwing the trash away. She then followed the crowd leaving and when she made sure no one was watching she hid behind a pillar. Unlike the rest of her teammates she wouldn't have to find a hiding spot because she would be able to sniff the guards coming around and easily escape them with out being noticed. She quickly took a peek and looked over to the restroom are to see a brunette walk inside…she smirked. "Rogue"
Rogue walked into the ladies room…she couldn't think of anywhere to go so she slowly flew to the ceiling and waited for a guard to come and make sure no one was in a stall. After he would leave they would strike.
Downstairs a guard was escorting people out of the Egyptian exhibit. Wanda quickly snuck way from the crowd and found herself looking at an empty opened mummy case. She made sure no one was looking and carefully got in.
'Sinister is gonna owe me big…and he's just lucky there's no dead person in here' she thought and then felt something slowly crawl up her arm. Her eyes widened 'I'm not gonna have a goodnights rest tonight' she though and started shaking her hand slowly trying to get whatever it was off.
Betts was also downstairs but unlike the others she was dressed in a security guard uniform. She watched as people left the building and a man locked the door up then put up the closed sign. He walked over to her and looked her from head to toe.
"You new around here?"
"Yes sir"
"What are you suppose to be working on?"
"Security cameras sir"
"Then what are you doing here?" he asked curiously.
"Making sure the door were locked…I'll be going now," she said walked away reading his mind to make sure he had bought it. She then walked towards the main security room when she walked in the real people in charged were going to ask who she was but before they could Betts hit them with mind bolts and they quickly fell to the ground (I have no idea what the mind bolts do…lol anyone care to explain?)
After locking them up in a nearby room she went to the computer screens and turned all the cameras off along with any alarms that could be triggered. She then got up and closed the door locking it so no one would e able to get in.
'Time to play' she called out to the others. Reluctantly they all got out of their hiding spots and went towards their destination.
======= X-men =======
"The MoE is at the Bayville Museum as we speak" Prof X told all the young mutants in the rec room.
"Shouldn't we go stop them?" Teachers pet Scott Summers asked.
"No…I want all the X-men to stay and train for a war that is approaching…according to Destiny," Xavier answered and then looked at Magneto.
"You however…"Magneto started and looked at the BoM and his Acolyte members. "Will go and stop them…now," as soon as he finished they all started moving to leave.
"Aren't you two going?" Prof. X asked Mystique and Magneto, the both shook their head 'NO'.
"I think that trying to get Wolverine here is more important," Eric said and Xavier nodded.
======= MoE =======
The girls were in front of a case surrounded with velvet ropes.
'Guess this thing really is special' Lexa thought but didn't really understand why…it looked like a normal gold bracelet…ok so it was thicker than normal but whatever. The others soon got there too.
"Betts did yah turn the alarms off?" Rogue asked the raven-haired girl (just in case you don't know…they're not in uniform).
"Yup" Rogue nodded and she walked over to the case, she tried lifting it up but found that it was actually pretty heavy, before she ask for help Lexa face shot up and looked around.
"What?" Wanda asked.
"Security guards"
Wanda rolled her eyes, "Why don't you get that, I'll handle the guards," she said.
Telling the others to handle the case.
"Nuh-uh…take a buddy luv," Betts said and nodded her head towards Lexa.
"Betts I don't need anyone to come with me…I am capable of handling myself and your forgetting I can kick major ass…including yours," Wanda ended with a smirk.
"Just take her with yah Wanda," Rogue said and turned to look at the case.
"Fine…come on you big baby."
"I am NOT a baby," Lexa told her.
"You're the youngest of us which makes you the baby," Wanda answered knowing she was getting of the young girls nerves.
"Whatever" Lexa countered.
Rogue and Betts rolled their eyes as the other two walked away and their voices became whispers. They soon got back to work and Betts helped Rogue with the case.
Lexa and Wanda walked around looking for the security guards that Lexa had caught scent of.
"So where are they?" Wanda asked annoyed.
"Wait" was the annoyed reply. 'Weird…I can't catch the scent of anything…I've noticed this has happened a lot…especially when I'm at school. I wonder if there's something wrong with me?' Lexa asked her self as Wanda walked ahead of her and turned a corner. Soon Lexa did to but regretted it, the BoM and Acolytes were in front of them. Lexa stood on Wanda's right and stood still…not knowing if they were going to find out whom they really were.
"YOU!" Quicksilver said to Wanda…and gave a surprised look at seeing Lexa there.
'Shit he recognizes Wanda' Lexa thought…that was shocking but nothing could have prepared her for what happened next.
"Pietro" Wanda spit his name out like poison. After a minute of silence from everyone in the room Lexa spoke.
"Pie…Pietro?" she stuttered. Quicksilver looked at her then looked down at the floor.
"Uh…hey Lexa," he said softly…Lexa looked at him in shock…he didn't know…he had recognized Wanda because she was his sister but he didn't know…what she now knew…she had kissed the enemy. Wanda was in shock too, 'Pietro knows Lexa? Well of course he knows her but he knows her as X-23...how does he know the real her?' she questioned herself. Then it hit her…that guy Lexa talked a lot about…the one she went to lunch with…it was…No it couldn't be.
"Oh Lex…I'm sorry" Wanda said and looked at her young friend who seemed to still be in shock. Pietro looked confused…okay he was already confused. His sister was in front of him looking different than her usual appearance…and she knew Lexa…this was weird. He was also confused that Wanda had apologized for something. He looked at Lexa.
"What?" he asked. "Do you have something against mutants? He asked thinking that was the reason for her silence.
"This is nothing to do with you being a mutant," Lexa snapped.
"Actually it sorta does," Wanda commented. Before Lexa could respond she was pinned to the wall she was next to by an unknown person. She looked up into his eyes and her scent senses suddenly came back. Her eyes narrowed…Weapon X. Wanda watched as her friend struggled against a man she had never seen before.
Lexa tried getting out of his grasp but couldn't…that's when she noticed that his grip was on her watch…if he takes it off her cover would be blown.
"He has my watch," she called out to Wanda. Wanda eyes widened in realization and started walking towards them…she was so close she could probably touch the man but something caught her attention…someone had called out to her.
"Wendy stay away from him…he's dangerous." Wanda looked up at the voice…Pyro just called her Wendy. She started at him confused…but then with narrowed eyes turned t the man that had Lex pinned.
"Wendy don't get closer."
"Why the hell are you calling her Wendy?" Pietro asked looking at Pyro, Pyro gave him a confused look but then turned to look at 'Wendy'.
'Wendy's' hand started to glow blue and soon the man was glowing as well. She then threw her hand at the opposite wall and the man went flying crashing into it. Wanda heard a 'click' and slowly turned to look at Lexa before looking at her friend something on the floor caught her eye…Lexa's watch. She looked up at Lexa…she was staring down at her watch…with blue eyes and her hair was a midnight blue. She then slowly looked up and met sapphire eyes…Wanda's.
Soon her gaze turned to similar eyes. Pietro was starting back at her, no longer confused…but shocked. They girl he had become closed to…someone he considered a best friend…the girl he had shared a kiss with three day's before…she was…X-23.
/And I know I never knew you/
Everything was quiet.
Lexa slowly bended down and grabbed the watch that was near her feet…her eyes never left his. She then put it on and pressed the blue button once, she was back to the way he (Pietro) knew her. She then pressed it again; her midnight hair was back…along with her X-23 outfit. Pietro looked at her…she was no longer Lexa…now she really was X-23.
Wanda started at both not knowing what was happing between them but then she moved to look at Pyro.
He had called her Wendy.
With a small flick of her wrist the straps on Pyro's goggles snapped and fell to the ground. Wanda eyes widened…thoughts she had earlier in the week come back to her.
'She felt that she would always be able to recognize them…no matter what'
/Your mind your pain I will melt your winter tears/
'John'
"GUYS we have the loot!" Betts said walking into the room and stopped when she saw what was going on. Rogue was close behind an also stopped at the sight of them.
'What the hell is going on?' Betts asked telepathically seeing as Lexa was in full X-23 uniform. She got no answer so went digging into their minds. She turned to look at Rogue with a worried look.
'What?' Rogue asked.
'Um…Wanda just found out that John is Pyro and Lexa just found out that the guy she's been going to lunch with is Pietro Maximoff aka Quicksilver' was the response she got…making her jaw open.
Rogue looked at all the people in the room, from her ex members on the BoM, to the acolytes, to her friends who hadn't moved, and then she turned to look at Pyro again. Pyro was John…she didn't even want to think about what was going through Wanda's head at the moment. Then a thought hit her…
John…was always with Remy…
Everything started to piece together in her head…she didn't have to turn to the demon eyed Cajun to know…she just did. It explained why she had seen him when she had waken up after they made love…why Gambit's kiss was so familiar…why she liked both…because they were…one in the same.
/If you say you will
If you could say you will/
'How coulda ah have been so stupid…it was right in mah face…and ah never saw it' Rogue though and her fake brown eyes turned to meet red on black. The expression on his face showed the realization had hit him too.
Everything was quiet…Betts couldn't take it anymore she slowly moved her hand to her watch and pressed the button…seconds later appearing as Psylocke. Even that didn't seem to make anyone move…there was no longer anything to be surprised about.
'Guys…I'm sure your going through a lot and I'd hate to interrupt but…we have to get this to sinister and omega' Betts told them.
Lexa looked at Pietro with a sad look in her eyes, she blinked and then they appeared narrowed she then turned to look at the man who had pinned her earlier.
"Weapon X" she snarled and the others turned to look at her and then at him. Without warning and before anyone could do anything she charged at him. When she was about to make contact, Lexa felt someone's hand on her wrist and then she was thrown a couple feet away. She landed on her feet and looked up to glare at the intruder, it was…Deathstrike.
Weapon X and death strike started at each other than he spoke.
"Yuriko" he said in surprise.
"Logan" she answered carelessly. X-23 watched confused, Deathstrike KNEW Weapon X.
"Well Well Well…if it isn't the brotherhood of evil mutants and the Acolytes," a voice interrupted all their thoughts. Betts turned to find the white Queen walking towards them, as did the others. The white queen reached Psylocke and grabbed the bracelet out of her hands. After that happened a portal opened a couple feet behind them.
"We'd love to stay and kick your asses but we unfortunately have better things to do," she said turned around to walk through the gateway. Before she walked in though she called back to her team and commanded, "Lets go!"
Deathstrike glared at wolverine and her adamantium nails slowly came out. "Will will meet again soon Logan." She slowly backed away from him and passed X-23 who looked determined to get a piece of him right there. Noticing she was about to strike Deathstrike grabbed her wrist once again.
"Another time Lex," and she slowly pulled the girl away from wolverine. She then let go of her a walked into the vortex. Psylocke looked around at them, she sighed and walked through after her mentors thinking, 'Bloody hell…how were we so fucken careless we should have put or costumes on'.
Lexa, Rogue and Wanda were the ones that were reluctant to go…slowly X-23 walked backwards to the vortex not wanting to turn her back on the enemy. She walked through her face facing them all as she disappeared.
Wanda also walked backwards, as she walked she pressed her button and soon was wearing all red, her hair was to her shoulders. She stopped walking when she reached Rogue and both just stared at the boys. Rogue looked at gambit and couldn't help it she spoke…
"The world's smaller than we both first thought…huh?" (Remember in chap 4 when they met at the club she said "it's a small world"? Well she's referring to that) All he did was raise both eyebrows at the comment. Rogue then gave Wanda a side-glance, "Guess you're not the only one that fucked with the enemy," she mumbled so only scarlet could hear. Before Scarlet Witch could comment X-23 walked out of the portal looking annoyed.
"White Queen wants to know what part of 'Lets Go' didn't you understand."
The other two Goths didn't even turn to look at her but they did slowly started walking backwards towards the portal. They soon reached her; Lexa was on the left, Rogue in the middle and Scarlet Witch on the right. Rogue was the last to press the button on her watch, as she did her emerald eyes appeared and two white strips caressed her cheeks.
/Convalescing bruised I set my mind awake
Dare to take another look/
They walked into the portal at the same time, as they did the portal closed and the last thing the Brotherhood and Acolyte saw were their eyes.
Ice Blue: Emerald: Sapphire
/If you say you will
If you could say you will/
======= MoE =======
The MoE got out of the portal and found themselves in their living room…without saying anything…Rogue, Wanda, and Lexa went their separate way leaving the adults and Betts in the living room.
"What happened? I don't think the BoM and Acolytes finding out your true identities is what's really bugging them?" Emma said and looked at Betts for an explanation. Betts shrugged.
"I think it's be best if we left them alone for a while…they have things to figure out…and they have to do it alone." Betts commented and looked up at the stairs were two of her friends had gone up towards.
"So I guess this means we'll be taking this to Sinister personally," Deathstrike commented and picked up the golden bracelet.
"Guess so. Anyway Elisabeth the reason we went to the museum was because I was getting an eerie feeling that something bad was going to happen and it did. So how did they catch you…didn't X-23 catch their scent?"
"I don't know. Rogue and me where getting the bracelet, Wanda and Lex decided to go after security guards. When we found them Lexa was already in X-23 gear," Betts answered and then files on the coffee table caught her attention. "What are these?"
"Well the X-men will now know our true identities but we will too…we finally found all the missing info on the members of their teams that we didn't have…for example the true identity of Gambit," Emma said proudly.
'To late for that' Betts though thinking about the fact Rogue already knew who Gambit truly was.
"Anyway why don't you check them out while we go deliver this to Mr. Sinister," Emma said and a purple vortex appeared.
"Whatever you say luv," Betts commented and watched them leave. After they were gone she looked at the new files. She found Gambits, Pyro's, Quicksilver, Magma's and many more updated profiles and yes it looked like the girls were going to have to do a lot of thinking. She was going to close it when a picture of Angel slipped out of the file. She picked it up and looked at it.
/King of moon gloomy afternoon/
"Hmm…I haven't read anything on angel so this should be entertaining," she said to her self and looked for his profile…that probably wasn't the greatest idea in the world. She finally found it and read it…when she finished the file fell out of her hands and onto the ground.
/Losing track of word and metre/
'Guess…they aren't the only ones that have some thinking to do' Betts thought to herself and walked up the stairs. Minutes later she found herself on the rooftop.
/Still shaking in this tear room Like a sick child/
Most of that week she had been giddy…she had her first boyfriend in Bayville. He was sweet, caring and charming. She thought nothing could ruin that…she was wrong.
/Still shaking nothing reconciled
Like a sick child/
Her boyfriend was her enemy…
======= X-23 =======
X-23 was outside in the backyard sitting down under a tree her back leaning on it. It was dark and cold…but at the moment she didn't give a damn.
/Melancholia colliding out of mind/
'How could I have been so stupid…he was under my nose this whole time and I never noticed. Why the FUCK didn't I pick his scent up' she questioned herself angrily. She had done the one thing she didn't want to…she had gotten to close to him…and now she didn't know if she could back away.
/In a silver swirl I take a lungful in/
She took a deep breath and both her hands went up to her head and went through her midnight hair. She had so many feelings bubbling around inside of her and she didn't know what some were or how she was going to deal with them all. She was confused…
/Blow a fistful out if you could say you will/
She sighed…there was nothing she could do now…what was done was done…but she couldn't help but feel like going back in time and stopping herself from ever getting close to Pietro Maximoff.
She looked up at the moon…
…Her mixed feeling would just have to run their course.
======= Scarlet Witch =======
/King of moon gloomy afternoon/
Wanda was in her room, her body in the middle of the bed and she was looking up at the ceiling. Her eyes, which would usually be cold and full of anger after battles were surprisingly, empty looking.
/Losing track of word and metre/
She didn't know what to think…she had had sex with Pyro exactly one week ago…and she had finally admitted to herself that she had feelings for John less than a week ago. The same thing was going through her head over and over again like a broken record player…
…Pyro was John…
/Make your final touch people talk too much/
Memories of their lovemaking came to her as she though about it…remembering all his gentle touches made her get Goosebumps. She had promised herself she wouldn't interfere in John's relationship with Amara…yet she had done it without knowing.
/Madman screams an unknown language/
She didn't want to feel all that she was feeling…confusion…anger…love. Why did she have to have sex with the guy she had promised she'd leave alone…the guy she was falling for…the guy she HAD fallen for…
She felt like screaming…like bashing her head against the wall a thousand times…like jumping off a building…she felt sick…like throwing up…
Wanda bolted straight up on her bed…she really was feeling sick and she did feel like throwing. She ran to her bathroom and the door shut behind her…
======= Rogue =======
/Still shaking in the tear room
Like a sick child/
Rogue was sitting on the floor with her back leaning on her bed; in her arms was an acoustic guitar. She only played when there was something really bugging her…playing helped clear her mind.
'I knew' she thought. 'A part of me knew the whole time that Remy was Gambit…and I blinded myself to it'.
She kept playing the guitar…trying to get lost in the music…wanting to forget everything…wanting to forget Remy…wanting to stop the feelings she had for him…wanting to become the coldhearted bitch she knew she was…
/Still shaking nothing reconciled Like a sick child/
She was interrupted by a cell phone ringing. Rogue turned to look at the hunter green phone…Remy had given it to her…it was their private line. He was the only one that had the number…they had decided to do it like that so no one would ever interrupt them by wanting to use the phone. She reluctantly picked it up…
/Still shaking nothing reconciled/
A solitary tear fell down her cheek as the cell phone hit the wall across her…breaking in half and leaving a dent in the wall.
/like a sick child/
