Shouting From The Rooftops
Disclaimer: I don't own X-Evo. You can tell I don't because there was no Jonda…Well, very little. I also don't own Pirates Of The Caribbean, but I'm trying.
Things to know:
-This is Part One of the To The Bitter End Trilogy
-Fic set three months after Ascension II
-Magneto, Mystique, Sabertooth, and Mastermind have gone missing, probably setting up a base in a new location…Although they are no longer enemies of the X-Men
-Remy has joined the X-Men, and Piotr has gone back to his family
-RogueWandaTabby friendship
-Even though this is will eventually be an AmaraxJohnxWanda love triangle, it will contain no Amara bashing
-For this fic, Amara is 17, John is 19, and Wanda is 18…I really, really doubt John is a pedophile
Other Couples:
-Tabitha/Pietro
-Rogue/Remy
This fic, despite the first few chapters, won't be all fun and games. Especially the next two fics in the trilogy. I have something big planned. The quotes are from Pirates Of The Caribbean, if you couldn't tell. The only difference is, I actually like the movie and I'm not obsessing over Jack Sparrow. Anyway, I think this gonna be the best thing I've ever written. Sorry if there's spelling mistakes, I have yet to find a beta.
Monster In Mystique's Room
"He'll be in your charge. Take care of him."
Rain.
Wanda loved the rain. She loved dark, dreary days. The only thing she didn't like was the humidity. But The Scarlet Witch loved the way the rain sounded, pounding against the pavement. It was so beautiful the way it looked against the night sky. It was one of those days that she felt strong, and brave. Wanda felt so powerful, like she could take on the world with one hand tied behind her back. And that was exactly what she could do.
And now, walking up to her home, the BoM boarding house, she felt happy. Maybe happy wasn't exactly the way to describe it. She felt powerful, and strong, like nothing could hold her down. She didn't get this feeling often, but she loved it when she did. Even now, when she was soaking wet and tired. Feelings like this made her just want to climb upon the roof and shout the way she felt.
Those feelings took her over as she moved her decorated hand to the doorknob. Before she could open the door, it swung open. She jumped back in surprise at seeing her brother. He had a glare spread across his face, that Wanda wanted to slap off.
"Where have you been?" Pietro demanded, his voice just above a whisper.
Wanda pushed him aside and walked into the dump of a house. "Out."
Pietro closed the door and followed her into the kitchen. "Do you realize it's two in the morning?"
"Oh." Wanda opened the fridge door, looking sideways at Pietro. "Is it that early?"
Pietro sighed and leaned against the counter. "Call if you're going to be late, ok?"
Wanda grabbed a diet coke and rolled her eyes. "Thanks for your concern, Pietro. But I can take care of myself. Besides, I've been out this late before. What's with the sudden rules?"
"There's a monster in the back room." Pietro whispered, jutting his thumb over his shoulder.
Wanda perked an eyebrow. "A monster?"
Pietro nodded. "We heard something moving around in there."
"It was probably just a cat or something, Pietro. Monsters don't exist."
Pietro watched as Wanda took a long drink from the soda. Monsters don't have a point of view! And you're just like him! You always were. Pietro shook his head softly.
"Yea, well, there's something up there."
"Why can't you men handle it?"
Pietro wrinkled his nose. "We think Mystique might be back."
Wanda finally understood the 'monster' remark, and nodded. "I'll check it out. You wouldn't wanna break a nail."
She scowled and tossed the half-full can of soda into the trash. Pietro watched her leave the room and walk slowly up the stairs. Her perked an eyebrow and held up his nails, looking down at them. He grinned with relief and followed her up the stairs.
When they reached the hallway, there was Todd standing by the door. He had a baseball bat in his hands, how he got it was unknown. And he was covered in clothing from head to toe, with a cooking pot on his head. He turned to look at the Maximoff twins, his eyes wide.
"Oh, good, Cuddlebumps! You've come to my rescue!" Todd smiled happily.
Wanda rolled her eyes. "And just when you were about to save the day."
"Exactly!"
"That was sarcasm, you insect. Get out of my way."
Todd backed up to let Wanda through. She calmly walked up to the door, and instead of using her powers, she brought her leg up and gave the door a sidekick. It flew open, and they were met by silence and darkness. Wanda moved her hand against the wall, and found the switch.
The room flooded with light, and they gasped at what they saw. The figure on the bed was dressed in black baggy pants, and an orange t-shirt. He was on his side with his legs bent on top of each other. His left arm draped over his side and the other was bent under his head. There was a large duffel bag beside him.
"Dude, that is not a monster." Todd spoke, his eyes wide as he stared at the figure in the bed. "It's a redheaded demon!"
Pietro let out a small laugh. "That's not a monster, or a demon, you dipshit. It's Pyro."
Short, I know. But I already have four chapters written...So review and I'll update!!
