Author's Note: I'm just going to take this moment to complain; I can not get this site to do what I want it to. For example, when I put my reviewers' names in bold (down at the bottom) the site always seems to change it so that a few of them are in plain text. Or when I try to put stars between my scenes the site erases them leaving me to repeatedly type the phrase Scene Break (which is driving me nuts)! Okay, I'm done. We can all move on now.

The Damned, Episode 1
Chapter 18: Confusion
Marie didn't even look back at Cody's truck; she just hurried into the house. Once inside she slammed the door closed, leaned against it and tried to catch her breath. He was attracted to her? But how could that be? He was always so infatuated with Wanda.
"Marie? What's the matter?"
Erik was standing in front of her.
"Nothing Erik, Ah just, Ah was seein' how fast Ah could run."
"Uh huh."
Marie saw that he didn't believe her. "Ah gotta go." She ran up to her room and within seconds she was on the phone. "Come on Mica, pick up." She got nothing so she dialed another number.
"Hello?"
"Carly?"
"No sweetie, she's out with Pietro."
"Thanks."
"No problem."
Marie sat up; she had to tell somebody. Thinking about it would drive her crazy. Who would be home?Wanda. Nope, can't tell her. Dom. NO WAY! Definitely not him. Marie sighed and got on the floor. She carefully removed one of the floorboards and took out her diary. Replacing the floorboard carefully she crawled onto her bed with her favorite pen.
Okay diary I know I haven't written in you for like two months but nothing really interesting has happened. Today Cody told me he was attracted to me. Actually he only told me so because I asked but I had no choice, Wanda was mad at me and I had to know if she was justifiably angry or just being her regular bitchy self.
All right maybe I should back up. Long story made short, Wanda cheated on Cody with Mark and Cody caught her red handed. Of course they broke up, though never officially. They just severed all communication. Anyway, Wanda has been being incredibly testy with me for some time and I never knew why until I realized that she somehow blamed me for her problems with Cody. Mica told me not to be stupid, that Cody was never interested in me and I believed her. Why wouldn't I? She's his cousin and my best friend.
Turns out she was wrong. Cody gave me a ride home from school today (Mica was too busy playing Flirty Girl with St. John) and we got into this stupid game where we asked each other questions. You can figure out the rest.
The truth is, I'm flattered. I was freaked out by his answer, I was kind of hoping he would laugh in my face, tell me I wasn't his type, something, anything, just not tell me he was attracted. Now I'm all mixed up. I shouldn't be. I'm with Dom and there's nothing Cody can do to change that.
Besides my crush on Cody was always just a crush, some stupid little schoolgirl thing. I'm reasonable enough to know that and I always do the reasonable thing. Always.

Wanda got home later in the evening. She dragged herself up the stairs and led her tired body into her bedroom. Silently she reminded herself never to go paintballing with Mark ever again. Ever since he had decided to extend his stay in Caldecott beyond the time allotted to him by his school, he had been taking her paintballing, hiking, rock climbing, whatever they could possibly do together. Unfortunately, those were all things he was incredibly good at.
The girl pushed her bedroom door open and plopped down onto her bed immediately. She moaned as he muscles fought her every movement. She gazed at her nightstand lazily then shot up in alarm. Laying on her nightstand was a box of condoms. She quickly threw open the top drawer and peered in. Nope, the ones she kept there were gone.
I didn't put those there, Wanda realized frantically, and those are definitely the ones I bought. She threw them back in her nightstand drawer.
She heard knocking at the door, "Come in."
Erik entered the room, "Come downstairs. We need to talk."
Wanda gulped and managed to croak, "Okay."

"Wanda, I know I should have talked to you about sex earlier," Erik was pacing back and forth on the back porch, "but I always thought that somehow you would just figure it out on your own."
Wanda sat still on a chair, not daring to say a thing.
"First of all, you should know that sex is overrated." He looked his daughter in the eyes, "You haven't…What I mean to say is…You didn't….."
"No," Wanda whispered.
"Well at least you were just being prepared. But seriously, sex is overrated. Most people would tell you that given the option to redo what they'd done, they would. Sex causes several different emotions; insecurity, depression, and even stress." Erik sighed, "But it would be unfair and irresponsible of me to only teach you the negatives, no sense in giving you the wrong idea. Sex can also feel good. Given the right partner at the right time it can be blissful and fulfilling." Erik stopped, "Are you getting all this?" Wanda nodded, "Good." He sighed again, "Wanda, frankly you are too young to be having sex, or thinking about sex with anyone. You should wait until you are in love. I would recommend that you wait until you got married but I have to be realistic here."
"How did you find the condoms in my nightstand?" She asked suddenly. "Were you going through my stuff?"
Erik didn't know what to say. Yes he had been going through her stuff but it was because he was afraid she was doing drugs.
Her eyes narrowed, "You were weren't you?" She threw her arms up in the air, "God I knew it! First off, I only bought those condoms because everyone is always shoving it in our faces about how we should be prepared! I'm not sexually active, nor do I plan to be in the near future! But you went through my personal belongings! That's low Dad!" She got up angrily and stormed into the house, slamming the screen door behind her.
Erik rubbed his temples, "Well that went well don't you think so Erik?"

Marie was still in her room when Dominic knocked on her door.
"Come in Dom."
"How'd ya know it was me?" he asked.
She gave him a dazzling smile, "Who else would have enough common sense ta knock on mah door rather than barging right in?"
He walked over to her, "Marie, is something wrong?"
"Why would ya ask that?"
He sat on the edge of her bed, "You just seem a little upset."
"Ya have only been in mah room foh what? Three seconds. How could ya know if Ah was upset?"
"Well you didn't come talk to me at all after school, not even when you got home."
Marie looked him in the eyes, "Ah was just tired sweetie, nothing ta worry about."
He shook his head, "I know you better than that."
"Dom, Ah'm just kinda stressed right now. Ah don't want ta talk about it."
"Alright, I can buy that."
"Good."
"But if there's anything I can do to help you can tell me."
"Ah know," she kissed him, "and Ah appreciate it." She looked at the clock, "Now lets get down to dinner."
As they walked out of her room Dominic took a glance back at Marie's bed and did not miss the sight of her diary half hidden by her pillows. Forget it Dom, reading other people's diaries has already gotten you mixed up.

Rogue felt the pressure of what felt like a blade on the back of her neck. "Ah thought ah told ya Wolverine," she swung around and sunk a kick in his middle, "You're gonna have ta do bettah than that ta take meh down."
As Wolverine was knocked to the ground, Rogue observed the chaos around her. The Brotherhood had simple instructions, sneak into the Museum of Natural History and steal the largest diamond in the museum's collection. It was very routine until the X-Men showed up.
Wolverine got up quickly, "Kid, now you're makin' me mad!"
Then out of nowhere he felt himself being dragged backwards. Rogue smiled at the sight of Toad pulling the X-men with his tongue but her victory was short lived as Storm grabbed her from behind.
Acting purely on instinct, Rogue managed to flip the mutant over her shoulder and down an escalator. "Heads up Witch!"
Scene Break
Scarlet Witch heard Rogue's warning. She had her hands full with a younger mutant. One who's powers seemed to be to phase anything right through her; and the dragon that seemed to be her accomplice wasn't helping matters much. No matter what Scarlet Witch did, no matter what she threw out, nothing hurt the girl. When Rogue yelled the warning, Scarlet Witch took advantage, positioning her opponent right in front of the escalator. She knew the inexperienced mutant would not have the reflexes necessary to avoid being hit by Storm.
Scene Break
St. John was having a blast. His first encounter with the X-Men and he was being pitted against a mutant who's powers were the exact opposite of his.
"Come on Iceman, you can't possibly think you're going to win against me."
Iceman threw a ball of ice, "You have a big mouth."
As Pyro melted the ball of ice he replied, "I know, I'm also incredibly cocky."

Quicksilver sat on the Brotherhood jet, monitoring everything. "Pyro, you really do have a big mouth," he muttered.
"Come here you big icicle."
"Yeah Pyro make him angry, that's sure to work." Quicksilver said sarcastically although there was no way Pyro could hear him.
Quicksilver pressed a silver button on his communicator, "Avalanche, report."

Avalanche responded, "This disturbance is drawing a lot of attention. I'm picking up signs of some Avengers closing in on the location, maybe even Spiderman." There was a moment of silence, "Well Quicksilver? You're acting leader on this mission. Do you want to stay in or pull out?"

"We kicked their asses!" Toad yelled.
"Good call Quicksilver," Mystique congratulated the boy, "Staying in the fight proved to be beneficial."
Quicksilver nodded, trying not to show just how much glee he was really feeling.
Rogue patted him on the back, "Thanks ta ya decision Ah was able ta have a little fun with those Avengers."
"Rogue, the point of the mission was not to play with the enemy," Magneto chastised.
"Ah know, but it was still fun."
Destiny frowned in the corner. Avalanche saw her frowning and knew why. He saw this scene in Destiny's diary. He knew exactly where this was going and he knew what he had to do to stop it.

Three weeks later:
"St. John!" Marie yelled, knocking on his door.
"What?" A groggy teenage boy answered the door.
"What's this Ah hear 'bout ya and mah friend Mica makin' out lahk crazy at some party?" She crossed her arms.
"Not jealous are you?"
A look of disgust passed over Marie's face, "Hardly. But Ah want ya ta know that whatevah ya have planned foh Mica aint gonna happen cuz Ah will be watchin' you."
"Marie you act like I'm planning on taking advantage of her."
"Ah know your type. Ya prey on innocent gals then drop them as soon as ya get what ya wanted."
"Marie, I'm sure I have no idea what you are talking about. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm getting back to my interrupted sleep, it is freakin' nine p.m." He slammed the door in her face and returned to his room.
"Was that Marie's unmistakable voice?"
St. John smiled at the girl sitting on his bed, "Yup."
"She's sweet, she really is. That's the only reason she's so worried about me," Mica told him.
St. John shrugged, "Wish the girl would stop accusing me of being a womanizer."
Mica pouted, "You mean you're not? Well then, what am I doing here? Maybe I should go find Pietro or something."
St. John laughed and crawled onto the bed with her. "You wouldn't dare."
She kissed him, "Maybe you're right."
He pushed her back gently against his pillows and began to kiss her lips, her eyelids, her neck….
"John," She said breathlessly.
"Hmmm?"
"Do you have a condom?"

"Carly there is no way Ah am going to buy some bright pink fluffy bunny." Marie was silent for a second, "No Ah don't think Ah need an ugly stuffed animal." She laughed, "Carly ya have tha weirdest sense of humor Ah have evah…" she fell over in a fit of laughter.
Dominic smiled from the hallway. Even though Marie's door was closed he could hear her conversation on the phone. He waited until he knew she had hung up the phone before knocking on the door.
"Come in Dom."
He walked in and gazed at Marie lying on her bed. He couldn't help but think that he had the most beautiful girlfriend in the world. The way her hair fell onto her shoulders, forming an almost angelic frame around her face; her pouty lips, curvy hips…he shook himself out of his thoughts.
"Marie, we need to talk."
She sat up, "Sure." She patted on the bed.
He walked over and sat next to her. "Marie I think we should break up."
She was stunned, "Break up?" she whispered, "Why?"
"Marie, I just don't feel anything between us anymore."
Marie couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Ah feel it."
"No Marie, you just feel the comfort of familiarity." He sighed, "We haven't had that usual spark between us for quiet some time now."
She felt tears spring to her eyes, "But Dom-"
"No, Marie I'm sorry, it's over." He got up and left her room, shutting the door and leaving her crying on her bed.

Diary, you know what? Dom broke up with me today. It hurt, more than I ever thought it could. It felt like he'd grabbed my heart and squeezed it until it stopped. What's funny is that even though I was freaking out earlier about what to do about Cody I had already decided to stay with Dom; not because it would be the right thing to do or because Dom was familiar, no, I realized that I really, truly love Dominic.
Scene Break Scene Break Scene Break
One thing Marie had to come to terms with was that news traveled fast in a small community like Caldecott, especially in high school. All day she had been hearing the whispers about her break up with Dominic. Of course the versions she had been hearing around the halls were greatly exaggerated.
"Marie, there you are." Mica fell into step with Marie.
Marie didn't even look up at Mica, she just kept walking.
"Marie are you even going to talk about it?"
When Marie looked at Mica, it was obvious to Mica that Marie had been crying.
"How was school today?" Marie asked in an even tone.
"Marie don't do this to yourself."
"Don't do what?"
"Try to forget about the pain that you're feeling." Mica speed up her pace to keep up with Marie, "It's not healthy."
Marie stopped suddenly, "Ah am sick and tired of people tellin' meh what's healthy and what isn't!" Her eyes were ablaze, "Mah psychologist, mah family, all mah friends, ya'll couldn't possibly know what's really healthy foh meh!" She started walking again, "And if Ah wanna forget about bein' miserable foh one God damn day then why won't any of ya'll let meh?"
Mica didn't know what to tell her.
Marie sighed and kept walking, "Mica do yourself a favor, stop worrying about mah mistakes and take care of your own." She didn't have to look back to know that Mica wasn't following her.

Marie sat on her bed, studying, or at least trying to study. She couldn't get herself to concentrate on anything, let alone geometry.
"Marie!" came a yell from somewhere else in the house.
She rolled her eyes, "What do ya want!?" she yelled back.
"Pick up your phone!"
She did as she was told, "Hello?"
"Hi, Marie."
"Cody?"
"Yeah."
She nervously twirled the cord of the phone around her finger, "How are ya doin'?"
"Not so bad," he told her, "Ah was actually just callin' ta ask if ya had plans anytime this weekend."
Her breath caught in her throat. He wasn't asking her out was he? "Um, no."
"Well Ah was wondering if ya wanted to come out with me to Scandia foh a round of miniature golf."
"Oh, Ah stink at golf."
"Good, so then Ah won't look lahk a complete doofus out there!"
Marie laughed, "Sheesh you're pushy. Ah don't suppose ya heard about mah break up with Dom."
"What? You broke up with him?" Cody feigned shock.
"Alright, alright, Ah'll go with ya. What day?"

"You did what!" Mica exclaimed.
"All Ah did was ask her if she wanted to go out on Saturday." Cody said defensively.
Mica slapped him over the head, "You boys are so lame."
They were watching television at Cody's house. Mica had invited herself over because her mom was out on a date and didn't want Mica home alone.
"What? Why am Ah lame?"
"Do I really need to explain this?"
Cody nodded.
"She just got out of a relationship with a guy she loved and you're praying on her vulnerability."
"Ah am not praying on her vulnerability. That girl is not vulnerable in any way."
Mica frowned, "Is this a way to get back at Wanda?"
"No!" Cody exclaimed.
"It better not be."
Scene Break Scene Break Scene Break
"You did what!?"
"Wanda he just asked if Ah wanted ta go out Saturday and Ah said yes."
Wanda had found out about Marie and Cody from Carly and as all good high school gossip goes, she had found out about it from a long chain of other people. Of course, now Marie had to face Wanda's wrath in the hallway, next to Marie's own locker.
"And you said yes why!"
"Wanda, shush, someone might hear you."
"I don't care!" Wanda exclaimed, "How could you not see this one blowing up in your face? You're going out with your roommate's ex and your own ex hates this guy." Wanda stopped, "That's it isn't it?"
"What's it?"
"Dominic hates him. You just want to hurt Dominic."
"Wanda that is ridiculous. Ah would nevah want ta hurt Dom, no matter how much pain he caused meh. Ah love him."
"Then I don't get it. Why go out with Cody?"
"What else Ahm Ah gonna do with my Saturday?" She asked, "Besides he's a nice enough guy and he seems lahk he would be fun."
"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you this would blow up in your face."

Saturday night:
Marie smiled as her golf ball managed to find its way through the windmill without being stopped by the annoyingly large fan. She turned to Cody. "Ah win!"
He smiled, "Good goin' but ya know Ah let ya win."
"Sure, whatevah. Ah kicked your butt an' ya know it!"
He laughed, "Looks lahk Ah gotta keep mah end of tha bargain and buy ya nachos."
Marie brushed her long curly hair behind her ear. "Follow meh, Ah know mah way to tha nachos."
"Hmmm," Cody said thoughtfully, "that would explain a few things."
He laughed as she playfully punched his arm. He had to admit, the night had gone well; a round of golf without anyone from school interrupting to ask what they were doing together. Curse small towns.
Later as they were polishing off the nachos Cody asked, "So why did yoah mother give meh such a cold look when Ah picked ya up?"
Marie licked the cheese hanging on to the corner of her mouth, "Honestly, she just doesn't lahk ya."
"Well that's reassuring."
"Don't worry, she'll learn ta lahk ya."
Cody looked hopeful, "Does that mean you're plannin' on keepin' meh around awhile?"
"Maybe," Marie said with a teasing smile.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SCANDIA WILL BE CLOSING IN FIVE MINUTES!"
"That's what we get foh living in a small town," Cody commented.
Marie nodded, "Some day ah plan on going somewhere big."
They got up and began their way to the parking lot.
"Where would you lahk ta go?" Cody asked, "The 'somewhere big' Ah mean."
"Maybe San Francisco. We went there on vacation once, it's beautiful."
Cody looked at Marie's hand so close to his own. "Ah've always wanted ta live in New York."
"Really? Everyone always wants ta go ta New York and L.A. Personally ah think both of those cities are slightly run down."
Cody slipped his hand into Marie's, "Well that just adds to your originality."
Marie blushed, "Maybe."
They reached the car. Cody walked over to Marie's side, opened the door and helped her in before letting himself in. Cody looked over at Marie, yup, defiantly good first date.

Dominic sat in his bedroom bored, not a thing to do. Pietro had asked him about a million times if he wanted to 'hang with the guys.' Dominic had rejected the offers on the grounds that Pietro's friends were complete morons. Of course Pietro had just shrugged this fact off and told him there was a great issue of Playboy under his bed if Dominic got bored.
Now Dominic was staring at the even paintjob of his ceiling. He wondered if there was anything left to eat in the refrigerator. Getting off his bed he crept into the hallway, he wasn't sure why he was being so quiet; Marie was out, Wanda was out with some friends, Pietro was out with Carly and his friends, he didn't care what Fred, Marty, or St. John were doing, and the adults were off taking care of their various tasks.
When he reached the bottom of the stairs he heard the front door open and close.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"Marie."
His heart skipped a beat. "Home already?" he asked when she stepped into view.
"Yup."
"What's the matter, didn't like Mr. Down Home Country?"
Marie frowned, "No, we had a good time."
"So did he slip you tongue?" He asked in a truly nasty tone.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Marie asked. "And not that it's any of your business but he didn't kiss me."
Dominic shrugged.
"What?" Marie asked suspiciously.
"Nothing, just can't help but wonder if Cody would really want to touch you if he saw those scars all over your body."
Marie gasped and felt the tears sting her eyes. She didn't say anything to Dominic, just ran up the stairs and slammed the door behind her.
"God you are pathetic."
Dominic had been so busy watching Marie run from him that he hadn't noticed Pietro enter the house.
"What would you know Pietro?"
Pietro frowned, his eyebrows forming a tight V on his forehead, "I know better than to break up with the best thing that ever happened to me."
Dominic's smiled sadistically, "I was trying to get a good fuck out of her. I never had feelings for the little brat. And when she wouldn't give me what I needed I dropped her."
Pietro looked at the teenager in front of him in disgust, "Go to Hell Dom."

A week later:
Marie looked down at her dull uniform in silent agony. She knew, logically, that working at a grocery store would not be glamorous or fun but why did they make her wear the dulled grays and reds?
"Marie please go get them carts."
Marie nodded before rushing out of the building to collect all the carts on the lot. As she pushed the carts, six at a time (the company's set limit), she couldn't help but wonder what her friends were doing. It was just very late, only a few hours after school and she was sure they were all at the river. She closed her eyes, imagining the fun she could be having versus the hard labor she was being put through.
"Hey watch it!"
She opened her eyes quickly. She dodged just in time to keep from scratching the blood red paint off of an expensive vehicle. Of course, saving the car's precious paint meant allowing her carts to scatter in several directions.
"Fuck."
"Need help?"
She turned around, "Cody?"
He smiled, "When's your break?"
"Not for another two hours." She replied warily.
Cody shrugged, "Then Ah guess Ah'll just have ta bothah ya while ya bring in tha carts."
"Whatever tickles ya fancy sugah." She silently began to work again. Systematically she gathered six carts and began to push them to the entrance of the store. "Hey!' she exclaimed when she felt a cart nudge her. She turned around and saw Cody smiling.
"Couldn't help it."
She rolled her eyes but smiled. "Whatevah." She rolled her carts into the building then waited for Cody to do the same. "Ya know you're gonna get meh fired this way."
"How? Ah'm just helping ya do you're job faster."
"Mah boss ain't gonna think about it that way Cody."
"Then Ah'll just have ta explain ta him that his employees are just too cute ta ignore."
"Cody," Marie said in a warning tone.
"What?" he asked innocently.
"Go home, Ah'll call ya latah."
Cody shook his head, "Nope, tha last time ya claimed ya would call ya left meh hangin' and Ah didn't wanna disturb ya by calling your house. If Ah didn't know any bettah Ah'd say ya were playing hard ta get."
"Cody Ah promise ya Ah'll call ya latah. If Ah don't then ya can call mah house repeatedly, until Erik and Hillary want to tear mah head off."
"That sounds good," he smiled again, "Well then Ah guess Ah'll let ya get back ta working. Adios."
Marie watched him walk back to his car. She was bewildered; she couldn't figure that boy out. She smiled gently as he drove off, as stubborn as she was she had to admit she was, well, flattered.

"Marie!"
Wanda could hear Raven's voice reach unnaturally high pitches as she yelled for her daughter to pick up the phone.
"It's that boy!"
Wanda giggled at the way Raven stressed the word boy. As if Cody was some insect-like creation.
The scarlet haired mutant relaxed, resting her head against her pillows. All the changes around the house as of late had been slightly unnerving. Dominic had reverted to what Wanda liked to call an asshole-ish state, taking jabs at Marie whenever he would see an opening. Pietro was increasingly becoming enthralled with Carly, so much so that he had actually began to talk about his relationship with her in terms of years rather than weeks. Mica, well, Wanda wasn't exactly sure what was happening between her and St. John but Wanda did know that Mica was sneaking into the guest house almost every night. She wasn't sure if the two knew it but Wanda's room overlooked the guesthouse. As for Wanda, her relationship was on an upward spiral. She smiled. Her boy had relocated to Caldecott as an exchange student.
Of course the biggest change wasn't in the higher levels of agitation, love, or lust. Wanda picked up her remote and tuned her television to CNN.
"…The Brotherhood should be considered armed and extremely dangerous. The discovery that mutants are in fact real has most of the public ill at ease and this dangerous terrorist group can only mean trouble for the rest of humanity. According to the FBI's newly readjusted information, the Brotherhood are Public Enemy Number 1. The federal government promises not to be as relaxed with the Brotherhood as they have been in the past. The next time they should come face to face with these criminal the FBI promises to shoot to kill."
Wanda rolled her eyes. Terrorists? Where were they getting this nonsense? The thought that the federal government though they could take them down was down right ridiculous. How could they possibly succeed where the X-Men, Avengers, and even Spiderman had failed?
The girl began to grind her teeth. This was the outright stupidity her father had warned her about. He'd warned them all that the flatscans would try to wipe out the mutant population one freedom-fighting group at a time. It made her sick to think that other mutants, mainly the X-Men, were fighting on the side of the enemy.
End Chapter
Ye ha ye ha! Alrighty then. Originally this was the end of my first episode but it made almost no sense as far as continuity so I decided to add a few more chapters.
