The Uncanny R-Man: Glad you like them, and I hope you like it. You know I think I'm the only writer to have Wanda paired up with Wonder Man.

Pyro Lady: Simon William AKA Wonder Man who is part of X-Force, which was introduced in my Adjustments story. This all takes place in my AGU series of stories, and some of the things you've read about are from some of my past stories too.

TheLegendaryManHimself: Thanks for saying that, I try my best to get into the heads of the characters. Plus I'm trying to make her grow as a person like the others a little. I like doing this cause it lets me explore the workings of a person's mind. Thanks for that review keep it up if you want this fic to live on.

Xmenfan: I'm glad you think she deserves to be happy so do I, and that's exactly how she sees Jean at the moment but remember that this is the first time they meet not as enemies so it will take some time, remember something like what they went through isn't easy to talk about so be patient it will come out in time, I want to take my time with certain parts of my story. And how come you didn't review for Exiles like I asked? READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTES!

slickboy444: It will be awhile when Wanda does confront Magneto but it will be one heck of a scene to write when I get to it. Although I'm sad you weren't one of the ones that tried to help out and review Exiles like I asked everyone last chapter in the author's notes.

Ldypebsaby: Maybe the girls will or won't, depends on if they find out about her seeing him. Plus why didn't you review for Exiles liked I asked everyone? You do realize I said if I didn't get enough reviews for that story I wouldn't update this one right?

Ruby631: Yes she does, but you got to admit having a life that has sucked so much I think she's entitled to it. Not like she could get it out before being locked up for most of her life.

Thanks to: Damn-my-name-was-taken

READ THIS: First off DON'T skip this, this time! Now last chapter I said I wouldn't update this story if no one reviewed for Exiles and I was kind of disappointed that only 3 of you did. (Two of which always do review) Now this still holds, if you really do like this and want it to continue on, then please review the Exiles fic, Me and R-Man work really hard on it. If you don't like it then tell us why? We would like feed back so please review it.

WANDA'S THOUGHTS

Well today was yet another interesting day here...I'll say this about living here at the Institute, it's never boring.

Well Rogue and I had another argument two days ago, at least they're not as hostile as they used to be. It was just that I moved her nail polish to make room for mine and she couldn't find her own. So we started to argue about who gets to put what where. I mean okay sure it was her room first but it's our room now. I just wanted space for my stuff too.

Besides red is a better color then that purple stuff she puts on her nails anyway I mean she didn't used to put that on since she wore gloves all the time but I guess now that she stopped wearing them she's got some time to make up for.

Plus the fact she borrowed by Anne Rice novel without asking, luckily I had just finished it but still. At least we got nearly the same tastes in music so we're not bothered by it too much when one of us has got a CD playing.

Although last night was kind of hard on her, I woke up to her talking in her sleep but it didn't look like a good dream. She woke up nearly screaming. After a few seconds of calming herself down she went to the personal bathroom connected to our room like all the ones have. She closed the door but I could hear she was slightly upset about something.

When she got back I couldn't take not knowing what was happening and I asked her. She was surprised I was awake. She told me it was just a nightmare but then I knew that, I asked if she wanted to talk about it, but she told me she didn't feel right about it since it wasn't one of her nightmares.

That confused me until she told me that besides having the memories of everyone stuck inside her head she has their nightmares at times too.

I never knew her powers did that...having nightmares is bad enough...but to have other people's nightmares from time to time too...well that just sucks. I asked her if she was all right but she said she was fine.

Apparently it's a rare thing that happens to her and it had started to fade away. I'm not sure if she was telling the truth or not but I let it go. Besides it was getting late and we both needed sleep for tomorrow. But I will say this...I never knew Rogue had to put up with so much with her powers until tonight. She's a strong person to be able to live with all of that stuff in her head.

I may never say this to her face or admit it to anyone...but I think I have some new respect for her for all that she must go through.

Oh and did I mention the 'fun' we had the yesterday? Well first it was Vince's birthday, I just got him a card since I don't know him that well but he didn't seem to mind. I figured since he's been nice to me it was the least I could do, plus he seemed to like the thought of it too so that was good. The party wasn't too bad actually.

I was actually starting to have a good time, the food was good, and so was the music. Everyone was happy and enjoying themselves plus I've haven't really been to a birthday in years, not to mention had one myself, so it was good to be a part of something like this. It's just one more thing that I'm getting back that was taken from me.

It was going great then that damn Selene woman had to show up. She just appeared in flames wearing something that made her look like some kind of dominatrix from a porno or something. She kidnapped a few of the others, not to mention the way she knocked down Xavier. Now I know I'm not exactly the typical 'good guy' since I was on Magneto's side and all, but what she did to Xavier a man who has done nothing but help me and care for me...I was furious, I wanted nothing more then to hurt that woman at the moment but I wasn't sure what would have happened to the others if I did. Apparently she kidnapped them in order to force us to fight and of course we had to go and fight and I said we I mean I went too.

I was surprised when Xavier wanted me and Piotr to go with them. It was a little weird fighting on their side, sure I did it during the Apocalypse thing...but now I was one of them this time and not just some ally. It was strange...but also felt good too. I mean here I was part of a team again fighting to save their own...or...should I say our own. It's still feels odd me being fighting with them like this.

We landed in a gravel pit and saw these Hellions of hers. With the exception of this blond in white the others were dressed in these red uniforms that all matched. During the battle I fought this French blond girl called Roulette. Talk about slutty, I mean she had her top zipped down showing her cleavage to the entire world to see on purpose. Her powers apparently are basically like mine only she uses these energy disks instead of the hex bolts that I use.

Another thing I learned the hard way that day? Her powers and mine don't mix well. When her disk and my hex bolt collided they merged then exploded. From now on I got to remember not to do that again, that had hurt. But at least that Selene woman lost her concentration and the others got freed and then they were outnumbered.

Boy did they take off fast after that, I think I actually smiled when I saw them take off like that.

On the way back Logan took Piotr and me aside and told us he was proud of our first time out. I don't know why but it felt...nice. I mean I can't remember the last time someone gave me any kind of actual praise like that...well...at least for doing something good. Instead of the praise I got at my time with the Brotherhood, they only seemed to praise me when I did something for their enjoyment. Like when I messed with the X-Men's powers at the zoo...I guess I should apologize for that...one day.

Anyway Logan said that he'd talk to Xavier and see if we both would be assigned to the X-Men. Now I'm not sure how to feel about that. Sure I think I'm powerful enough to be in the main group...but it feels weird. I mean I've thought of the X-Men as enemies for so long...now I'm about to be one of them.

But then I think of how that would make Magneto feel and it puts a smile on my face so maybe it's a good thing after all. I wonder if they'll make me change my uniform, personally I like the way it is. If I have to I guess I could place some kind of black X on it somewhere...but only if I have to, I like it too much as it is to change it too much.

Unfortunately the party pretty much died after that. Amara went to her room to 'shower and get clean' whatever that meant. I get the feeling some other then seeing her worse nightmare (Selene) again. I tried to ask Tabitha and she told what the creep Empath did to her and said that what he wanted to do to her. If I ever see that guy again he better run. I had to live with that kind of terror since I was fifteen when I was locked up. Thankfully none of the guards got the guts to try anything like that with me.

Even though I still get nightmares of being in that place...and of some of the things that had happened...but I don't want to talk about any of that but I'm sure Xavier will want me too...why can't he just let it go...I do.

But I swear if that little jerk tried anything he'll have me to face, Amara may be a little uptight or slightly stuck-up sometimes...but she's nice and she's easy to get along with, plus she doesn't deserve anything like that Empath jerk wanted to do.

I swear that guy just made the top of my 'who to hex' list...well...maybe number three. Magneto and Pietro are still in numbers one and two of that list.

I still wonder if we'll see Selene again? I mean she did look pretty pissed but I must say when I saw Logan clock her. That was great, she really deserved that big time. Although I guess we will be seeing more of those guys soon...I mean if that place that's being built over the old Brotherhood place is where they'll be putting up shop then I guess we will.

You know it kind of funny. Here I am once a member of the 'other team' and not long after I switch sides and the old team is gone, the old Brotherhood is replaced. Now I guess I will know how the X-Men had felt with us living in Bayville. It's like some cosmic scale that had to be balanced out. One team leaves and another takes it place.

Only this seems to be filled up with stuck-up, jerks. Man if the Brotherhood thought that the 'x-geeks' were bad these guys are worse! But now that I am an 'x-geek' now I guess there are a few things I got to get used to. Plus this place isn't as bad as the others had made out...wish I had known that before or else I would have switched sides long ago, but at least I'm here now...and I don't regret it.

Well I knew things would be different for me when I accepted coming here, I just wonder what else could possibly happen, although I wouldn't mind it if I didn't see those Hellions or Selene anytime soon.

Although I can't wait until Simon gets his day off...I know how that sounds but I'm actually looking forward to it...I wonder what I should wear? Great...I'm starting to sound like Kitty...I'm doomed...damn what now?

There's something going on out back...I think a few of the younger guys are getting rowdy or something...I guess I better put the fear of death into them to make them cut out that racket. It's already been a day since the attack and everyone is tense enough as it is, well this shouldn't take long to straighten them out.
