The Uncanny R-Man: What can I say? I'm a hopeless romantic. You really can't have Logan not do that can you? It's just too fun to watch him make the boys squirm, I feel the same with Evan but he was in the episode so what can I do?

Ldypebsaby: Yep he's coming and Lance is up now.

Kane: Thanks, and those were nice ideas, I'll see how the Lance thing goes it's just this story is more focused on Wanda and Kurt. The reunion with Pietro won't be the heartfelt kind of thing you can be sure of that.

Red Witch: Yeah Wanda won't be pleased to see him, and I doubt he'll be please by who she's dating.

Slickboy444: I figured you'd love this chapter and I'm glad you liked all the Jean/Scott and Kurt/Wanda stuff. You know that when Magneto and Pietro get in the picture things won't go so well.

Lil Jean: Well I'm glad that you reviewed and liked it. You'll see more of the plan later on too.

WANDA'S LIFE

CHAPTER 8: REUNION

Wanda was getting ready for school, it had been a week since her first date with Kurt and she had to admit it was the best week of her life. So far they had already gone on two other dates after that, by themselves of course giving Scott and Jean time to think about things. Those two were getting close but no 'official' dates yet, but they had been hanging out a lot lately and seemed closer then ever.

She grinned to herself in the mirror. Kurt was just perfect, he was funny, kind, not to mention sweet and romantic. He even handed her this poem in English class when the teacher wasn't looking. She giggled at the memory and sighed. Sure it was old school but damn Kurt knew how to treat a lady. Plus she felt like melting in his arms when he spoke, she just loved that accent of his.

"Hey guys." She said happily sitting next to Kurt, as was now what they did at the able. Everyone was there except for Ororo and she was wondering what was going on. "Hey is Ororo sleeping in? I mean normally she's one of the first up."

"I'm afraid Ororo had to go to her sister's Wanda." Xavier said from the head of the breakfast table. "You see her nephew Evan apparently is a mutant and his powers have been manifesting lately. He kept it quiet but at a basketball game she saw his power activate by accident, luckily no one else saw it."

"Cool, like so what are his powers?" Kitty asked eating her vegetarian meal.

"It seems to be something to do with spikes coming out of his body, but we'll know more. His parents think it's best if he lives here and learns to control this power."

"So we got ourselves a new one eh? Man at this rate Chuck this hole mansion will be filled up soon." Logan said picking up more meat. It was a sharp contras seeing Logan who considered veal a vegetable next to Kitty. She kept making faces at all the meat he ate but said nothing.

"Great when does he get here?" Scott asked from his place next to Jean.

"They are moving him over today, after the game it was thought that he needs to know how to control his abilities as soon as possible." Xavier explained. The rest of breakfast was pretty much the same old thing and before she knew it Wanda was at school.

She walked in with Kurt arm in arm. She noticed Todd looking at her and glaring at Kurt, she figured that the little guy would be jealous but it's not like she made it clear about her intentions to him all the damn time. She also noticed lately how Principal Darkholm kept looking at them funny.

Later in her office Principal Darkholm or at least the name Mystique went by in this form sat down at her desk. She never had expected this, when Kurt had showed up those weeks ago she had actually been happy to see him, more then she had thought. He never realized how much she missed her son. She had given Kurt up all those years ago so he wasn't raised in her world, it wasn't a world to be raised in and when she tried to get out of it Magneto had come after her. When she saw how those…people…had taken him in even with how he looked, they accepted him and loved him like he was their own, and in a way he was. She had kept an eye on the Wangers throughout the years but always at a distance but she never expected this to happen, to meet her son to be so close yet so far away.

And now he was dating Magneto's own daughter of all things. She actually laughed at that once when the thought hit her of how he would take the news, she knew that when he found out Xavier had taken her in and had done what he couldn't do vexed him to no end. Then she noticed the paperclips starting to move and fly. She sighed to herself in her head, she hated how he was so overly dramatic all the time.

"I have a new recruit for you." His deep voice said in the shadows.

'God he's just a living cliché' She thought not looking at him. "Well we could use one, who is it?"

In another part of the school Kitty was walking alone in the halls. She had been thinking about Kurt and her attitude towards him and she felt bad at how she had been treating him. In fact seeing him and Wanda together helped her get over his appearance and seeing how Wanda talked about him and how she gushed over him as times made her realize that Kurt was a good person. 'I should make it up to him.' She thought. After all he had been nothing but nice to her and he deserved not to be treated harshly.

"Hey pretty Kitty." She turned as she saw Lance there. Lance the boy that she had gone to when her powers were manifesting. He tried to use her to get into the office and steal the test answers and not only did he cause the school to collapse but nearly killed her parents. He had arrived not long after she did and was with Toad in that Brotherhood house.

Every since he arrived he had been coming up to her. She knew he was bad news but there was just something about him, maybe it was the whole bad boy image or something. "Hi." She simply said to him.

Lance sighed. "Look…I know I've said this before…but I am sorry for what happened. I didn't mean to collapse the school like that it was an accident."

"But what about that test thing huh?" Kitty asked him bluntly. "You weren't just using me to help yourself?" She said harshly.

"Yes-no, I mean. Damn it, yes I used you to get those test but not the way you think. You were the only other one I knew that was different like me and I wanted us to get close and…well…I needed your help and wasn't sure if you would willingly help me pass."

Kitty stared at him. "There are other ways to pass a test you know like say studying."

"Please." Lance said under his breath. "I'm not exactly the brainy type Kitty, not like you. I mean you're smart you don't have to struggle like I do it's just…never mind." He said and turned to leave but he felt her tug his arm.

"I could like help if you want it?" Kitty asked him. "You know…study. I mean we could…like…you know…" She said blushing from this.

Lance smiled at her. "You'd really help a guy like me huh?" He thought about it. "Sure I mean I could use all the help I could get."

-The Institute-

Everyone was back and they saw Ororo's car in the driveway. "Cool looks like Ororo is back, I guess that means that Evan guy is like here." Kitty said pointing out her car.

"Great, let's meet the guy already." Wanda said. They all walked in and saw Xavier and Logan waiting for them and Xavier smiled at them.

"We'll I take it you all would like to meet Evan?" He said and there were various yeses to that. "He's up in his room, it's next to Scott's and I think he's unpacking." They all rushed up the stairs to great the new guy and Xavier chuckled at their excitement, he had to admit having more children here did seem to make the place was more lively.

Evan was packing the last of this clothing up from home. He wasn't sure if this was a good idea, he didn't want to move, he could handle his powers, most of all he didn't want to leave his home and he had to get back at that Pietro jerk from school. Before he left he showed that he was a mutant too and that jerk put all this stuff he stole from lockers into his as school. He had a damn record now thanks to him and the next time he saw him he was going to nail his hide to the wall. He heard a knock on his door and guessed the other students must be back. "Come in."

He saw them walk in, he was able to guess who was who from his aunt's descriptions. Scott was the tall brown haired one with the red shades, the redhead with long hair was Jean, the other one had to be Wanda and from what she heard her hair was dyed.

The brunette had to be Kitty and the blue guy, who was still a little shock to get used to seeing even with Ororo's description, had to be Kurt. "So you're Evan, nice to meet you." Scott said shaking the young man's hand.

"Thanks, so…what exactly will I be doing here? I mean my aunt said that I'll get training here but she never said what kind?"

Scott smiled. "Oh you'll see the Danger Room soon enough trust me on that."

"Danger Room?" Evan asked a little worried at the name of that.

"Oh yeah it's this big huge room with lasers, giant buzz saws, and lots of other nasty things." Wanda said taking a littler perverse pleasure in seeing him pale a bit.

"You're kidding right…Right?" Evan asked.

"Don't worry it's not as bad as you think." Jean said trying to hide a smile. They all got to talking and Evan felt better, they all seemed nice and everything.

"So Evan is must be nice to meet others like yourself, I mean I know it's like help me cope." Kitty said sitting on his bed.

"Yeah I guess, although Pietro wasn't that nice if you ask me." He muttered.

"Who?" Jean asked.

"Huh? Oh…well…you see…this guy I know got me into trouble and I'm pretty sure he's a mutant since how fast he moved." Evan started to explain.

Kurt however saw how Wanda froze when Evan said that name. "Vanda? Vhat's wrong?" He asked concerned.

Wanda ignored him and looked right at Evan. "What did he look like? This Pietro." She asked evenly and the others that knew her were looking at her in concern now too. Evan said how he was slim, white hair and blue eyes. After that Wanda rushed out of the room and soon Kurt went after her. He found her in her room sitting on her bed holding her knees up to her chest.

"Vanda, Vhat is it?" Kurt asked sitting next to her putting an arm over her shoulder.

"It can't be him, it just can't be him." She said quietly.

"Who?"

"My…my brother." Kurt was stunned silent at that. He knew her father had placed her in that terrible place but she never mentioned a brother. "My twin to be exact…see…my father kept him while I was sent to…" She closed her eyes pushing away the memories of that place. She tried so hard to get over it and push those memories away. She still had nightmares of that place but not as bad as when she first got here.

"Kurt…hold me." She said silently and she leaned her head against his chest as he held her close.

Downstairs Xavier was listening in to what Scott had told him of Pietro and how it affected Wanda. He had hoped that Xavier might know why one of his longest and closest friends had seemed so upset. Charles sighed. "I was afraid this day may come, from Evan's description and what Wanda told me years ago and from certain data I have…I think that Pietro is Wanda's twin brother."

"What!?" Scott nearly shouted. "Why didn't she ever tell us she had a brother?"

"I'm afraid she didn't want to think of her family Scott, remember who were the ones that placed her in that place and she felt betrayed not only by her father…But also her own twin brother who as she told me was closer to her then anyone."

Scott sat down in a chair. "Man…I…I just can't believe that she never told us…but I guess I can see why. I remember how she was when she first got here."

"Yes she might need all our help with dealing with this." Xavier told him.

"Yeah, Kurt when after her." Scott told him and Xavier smiled at him. When Kurt and Wanda had started dating he was pleased and happy for them. They seemed to be good for each other; Wanda needed someone who would be there for her and someone who would treat her with kindness and respect. For Kurt he needed someone to accept his appearance and make him see that it was how he looked on the inside that mattered.

-The Next Day-

Evan was in the Danger Room in a uniform with the others. He had on a helmet and his skateboard. Logan had said that a skateboard wasn't something that you use in a fight but Evan said he was better on it then walking. So here he was going through the training, mainly him dodging the others. He saw Jean over by these spheres in her green and black uniform, Scott in his with that visor and X-shaped breastplate, and finally Wanda at the end in an all red uniform with a black X on her chest and a jacket with black gloves, combat boots and another black X on the back of her jacket that continued on to the front.

"Alright porcupine, GO!" Logan shouted out. Even thought Evan hated that nickname he started out and dodged the spheres 'thrown' by Jean with he abilities and jumped over a beam from Scott and dodged and weaved through Wanda's hex bolts.

He finished his tenth run through without getting hit once this time. "Yes!"

"Nice job Evan." Scott said. "That's it for today so why don't you get showered off and rest up. Tomorrow will be the first day at Bayville High.

"Can't we go a few more times?" He asked.

"Hey don't wear yourself out, we got plenty of time." Scott assured him.

"Hey Evan." Kitty said from the control room. "Apparently there's a game tonight and the coach wants you there ASAP."

"That's odd. Coach didn't say anything about that." Evan said to himself. An hour later he and the others were at the high school and they saw a bus with the other team unloading. Evan saw his old team but he also saw someone else he wanted to see, but in a totally different way. "Pietro!" Evan yelled out and the silver haired boy grinned at him.

He walked over to the group. "Well if it isn't Daniels. They let you out on good behavior?" He mocked at him.

"Is this the guy?" Scott asked him.

"Yeah, but I can take him." Evan said evenly.

"Ha! That's a laugh." Pietro said smirking then he noticed a girl with red hair who was staring at him. "Do I know you?"

"Yeah…Pie-Pie." Wanda said using her old nicknamed for him. Pietro looked like he had seen a ghost as he stared at her wide eyed.

"How…how did you…Wanda?" Pietro said in sock at seeing his sister. He didn't recognize her with her hair color changed and how much older she looked. In a blur he was right up to her. "Wanda! How are you! How are you doing?" She was silent a moment then she grew angry and slapped him.

"How are you?" She yelled at him. "You ask me that after all this TIME and that's IT? You left me to rot in that hellhole!"

"I was just a kid!" He said in his defense.

"But did you ever try to find me, to see me or to get me out of there when you were older? Did you ever bother to try and find out what happened to me?" Wanda shouted at him tears were starting to descend from her face.

"I…I'm sorry…" Pietro said seeing her like that.

Wanda glared at him. "Too little too late…Pietro." She said coldly.

"Anyway you need to come with us." Scott said sternly. "If you were responsible for getting Evan in jail for stealing all that stuff like he told us you need to admit it."

"Please like I would. So what if I took all that stuff and blamed him for it? Why should I?" Pietro said and when Scott made a grab for him he moved out of the way quickly. "Oh you are so slow. You want to finish this Daniels come and get me." He blurred behind Evan and slapped him on the back of his head. "Tag, you're it!" Then he ran off.

Evan made a move to go after him but Scott held him back. "First you got a game, and then we go after him."

"I said I can handle him." Evan told him.

"You're one of us now and you're not alone in this." Scott said.

Much later the X-men in uniform were on the streets looking for him. "Scott…I think he's coming." Jean said she could sense him coming but it was hard to get a read since he was moving so fast but he was coming towards them. He ran by them sending debris over all over the place and windows shattered.

He stopped in front of Evan in a white and light blue uniform with something that looked like padding on his upper torso and shoulders. "Boy you really must be a glutton for punishment."

"You're going down for faming me like you did Pietro. You should be the one who went to jail for stealing all that stuff!"

"Yeah I know but placing it all in your lock was a good move you got to admit that. I got to have fun by taking all that stuff and framing you." Pietro gloated. Evan fired his spikes at him but Quicksilver easily dodged them. "Man you are just too slow." He sped around him hitting him a few times and leaned against a wall. "This is getting boring beating you all the time, I need a challenge."

Scott helped Evan up. "I thought this training was supposed to help?" He snapped at Cyclops.

"It does, but you forgot about team worked. Jean!" Scott shouted and she levitated Pietro off the ground. He started to protest but then Wanda fired a hex bolt and Jean let him drop as he slammed into a wall and Evan fired his spikes at him as he was too dazed to move.

Pietro was stuck there on the wall. "Let me go!"

"You are so busted." Evan said smiling.

"You got nothing on me!"

"Oh really?" Evan smiled and pulled out a tape recorder, he played it and he heard him confessing what he had done. "You may be faster then me, but I'm smarter." They left him hanging there fuming, Wanda taking one last look at her brother then turned her back on him and walked off. Kurt noticed how she looked and took her hand and squeezed it. She smiled and squeezed it back.

-Brotherhood House-

Toad and Lance were in the living room. "Yo where do you think Mystique is yo?" He asked Lance who was laying on the couch watching the TV

"Don't know, don't really care." Then they heard the door open. "Speak of the devil."

Mystique walked in. "I think you boys should get up and meet your new teammate." She said to them in her real form.

"Really? Cool whose the new guy?" Toad asked hoping off the couch.

A blur entered the room and sat down in Toad's chair. "That would be me, name's Pietro Maximoff."

"Maximoff? You any relation to-" Toad started to ask but Pietro cut him off.

"Yeah I am…she's my sister." He said with a hint of sadness in him. He had time to think on things while he was in that jail cell before father had gotten him out. Seeing his sister again was bitter sweet, he always wondered what had happened to her and if she ever got out of that place. Now he knew and they were on opposite sides…and she hated him and he couldn't blame her.

But sister or not he had a duty to his father and he would follow through with that, besides he owed his father for getting him out of that cell and he had a score to settle with Daniels and his friends…her sister's friends.


NEXT UP CHAPTER 9: THE ROGUE

Before anyone says anything yeah this is out of order but I wanted to bring in Quicksilver faster then in the series. And lets just say things will be different this time around for Rogue.
