Inferno Elf: I know there's a lot of errors and stuff, but I wrote this kinda quickly. I know the characters are, well, slightly out of character, but I'm working on it. Takes place in no particular time in X-evo. This chap dedicated to all who reviewed! (whoohoo! 5 peeps!) Enjoy!

Back at the Acolytes' place

Pyro leaned back in his chair, deep in thought while staring into a tiny ball of fire. Gambit was "secretly" called back to the Brotherhood house for updates on Pietro's new power. Of course, Pyro was left back behind. However, he knew it wasn't horribly bad to stay where he was; less trouble for him when Magneto finds out. Gambit was putting himself at risk in this case.

Suddenly, something hard struck Pyro. Actually, it was an idea. As long as the other acolytes were out, he would be questioned for being inside. Feeling quite confident, Pyro diminished the ball of fire and headed out.

At the Brotherhood's place

Wanda was slouched in a chair, Tabitha was blowing bubble-gum, and Gambit leaned against a wall. All were puzzled about this strange new power Pietro had just obtained.

"So can he only make metal appear?" Wanda asked. The last thing she wanted was for Pietro to grow into being like their father.

"I'm not sure, chere, pe'haps he can make anythin'," the Cajun said. "I just dunno if this'll be permanent. His power, that is."

Tabitha's bubble just burst over her face. "Would the power be forever? Ours are! Aren't they?" she spat.

"Calm down. We won't know unless we ask someone who can analyze anything about a power," Wanda said. "There is no way we can go to Magneto."

"Chere, don't say you want to tell Xavior," Gambit said, now facing her.

"I'd hate to also... but so far, it's all we can do. What if Pietro's power would mutate again to be life threatening?" she asked. There was a creak of floorboards and the three looked up to the stairs. There was a metal bucket full of BB's that fell down the stairs.

Pietro was standing at the top of the stairs, his powers still uncontrolled. His mouth was open and his eyes were filled with a new fear.
