Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters-
TJ Wagner and Paige Guthrie were walking through one of the mansion's lower levels. They were about to walk past the Danger Room when the door swished open and X-23 walked out carrying a barely conscious Logan along with her.
'So, Twen.' TJ said. 'How did your training session go?'
'A little too well.' X-23 sheepishly replied. 'I kinda punched him in the throat...'
'Ooh, that musta hurt.' Paige winced. 'Are ya alright Mister Logan?'
'Never felt better, Hayseed.' Logan wheezed. 'My healin' factor's already kicked in.'
Then TJ remembered why she and Paige were walking though the lower levels.
'Twen, me, Paige and the guys're gonna hang out in the rec room for a bit, you can come join us if you want.'
X-23 looked up at Logan for confirmation.
'You run along now, kid.' He said. 'I've gotta run a few errands anyway.'
'I'll meet you guys later.' X-23 said to TJ and Paige.' But I'm gonna hit the showers first.'
Logan leaned against the wall to regain his breath as X-23 walked off in the direction of the showers.
'Are ya sure you're alright, Mister Logan?' Paige asked.
'I think she crushed my windpipe...' Logan wheezed.
'Remind me never to piss her off.' TJ winced.
Later-
TJ and Paige were hanging out in the rec room with Wanda and Kurt when X-23 walked in.
'Hey guys.' She said. 'What fun stuff've you got planned?'
'Ve're just hanging out, vatching ze TV.' Kurt replied. 'You're just in time, 'Teen Titans' is just about to start.'
'What are the 'Teen Titans'?' X-23 asked.
'Oh just you sit down and watch, kiddo.' TJ replied. 'You'll soon learn.'
X-23 sat down with the others and prepared to watch the second best cartoon show on TV when... a news broadcast interrupted the scheduled programming.
'What the Hell?' Wanda groaned. 'Where's the 'Teen Titans'?'
'Ah didn't know yah were a fan.' Paige grinned.
'I like Raven, is all.' Wanda muttered.
'Be quiet guys.' Kurt said. 'Zis might be important.'
Everybody stayed quiet as they watched the news broadcast. Right at that moment, it was showing amateur footage only shot a few moments ago of an unusually familiar figure trashing downtown Bayville.
'Zat can't be who I zink it is.' Kurt said.
'Who else do you know that wears a bucket over their head?' TJ asked.
'I've never met the guy.' X-23 added. 'But that's Magneto, isn't it?'
'Magneto as in, Wanda's Dad?' Paige asked.
'Oh ja.' Kurt replied. 'It looks like we've got biiig trouble!'
Everybody turned to Wanda, who had been awfully quiet since the news broadcast had popped up, and looked at her concernedly.
'Wanda, liebe.' Kurt said. 'Are you alright?'
'Never better.' Wanda replied through clenched teeth. 'I just have to go outside for a second.'
The others stood back as Wanda slowly walked out of the door and into the garden. They then winced as Wanda's anger caused Scott's car to explode.
'Let me guess.' X-23 said. 'She's got daddy issues.'
'I'm going to see if I can get a hold of Quicksilver.' Kurt added. 'He might want to know zis.'
Later-
Kurt, Wanda, TJ, X-23 and Paige were sitting in the Velocity, along with Pietro, as they flew over to downtown Bayville. TJ was chosen to be pilot and leader of the group as she was the oldest and actually knew how to fly. She was initially freaked at the thought of ordering her parents about but she stopped when the severity of the situation finally sank in. Pietro however, wanted to be elsewhere.
'I don't know why I have to be here with you X-Geeks.' He moaned. 'Let me out of here!'
'Magneto's your father too, Pietro.' Wanda replied, being unusually calm, seeing the circumstances. 'So you're in this with us.'
Pietro knew better than to argue with his sister so he shut up and sat back in his seat.
TJ peered out of the cockpit and saw the chaos below them.
'Get ready to party guys.' She said. 'We're almost there.'
The others unbuckled their seatbelts and got ready to disembark. Before they could steady themselves however, the Velocity was rocked by a magnetic wave.
'Hold on everybody.' TJ said. 'I'm gonna attempt an emergency landing!'
The others grabbed onto the closest steady thing and braced for impact. Fortunately, the crash never came as TJ landed the Velocity safely. After the magnetic wave had subsided, everybody cautiously exits the Velocity.
'Not that ah'm ungrateful for going on a mission or anything.' Paige says. 'But shouldn't we have an adult here with us?'
'Everybody's busy.' TJ replied. 'Logan's running errands, Storm's visiting her sister and hank and the Professor are attending a seminar in Scotland.'
'So we're screwed then.' Pietro sighed.
'What's the matter Quicksilver?' X-23 asked. 'Don't ell me you're scared of your daddy.'
'So says the chick with the metal skeleton.' Pietro muttered.
'Keep your eyes out guys.' TJ said. 'Magneto is one of the most powerful mutants in the world and we don't want him sneaking up on us.'
'I think I know how to work around my father.' Pietro snorted.
Then everybody's attention was caught by a car flying towards them. Fortunately, Wanda was on cue to hex it back to whence it came. TJ turned to Pietro with a serious look on her face.
'Don't get cocky, Pietro.' She said. 'You may be my uncle but I'm still the leader of this team. Wanda, is he gets out of line, hex him.'
Wanda nodded in agreement while Pietro juts silently cursed his luck.
The team cautiously walked towards the direction the car came form and sure enough, Magneto was floating there right in front of them.
'Keep steady guys.' TJ said. 'We don't know what Mags is up to.'
Without so much as a word of warning, Magneto used his powers to rip some iron railings from the sidewalk and bind the team together.
'Great start so far.' X-23 muttered. 'Is this usual for you guys, getting caught by the bad guy straight away?'
'I don't get it.' Kurt said. 'Magneto's usually 'Bwahahaa! Your puny powers are no match for ze Master of Magnetism!' he hasn't said anyzhing yet.
'Uh father...' Pietro says. 'What're you doing?'
Magneto just stayed silent as he enveloped Pietro and Wanda in a magnetic bubble and spirited them away.
'We have to get after them!' Paige said. 'We don't know what that monster's gonna do with them!'
'If you've got a way to get us out of here.' TJ said. 'I'd like to hear it.'
As if in answer, there was a 'Snikt!' and X-23 freed herself from her bonds.
'Now let's go catch us a bad guy!' She grins.
Elsewhere-
Wanda and Pietro found themselves still bound by wrought iron cuffs but this time they were in an abandoned warehouse.
'I've got to say' Father.' Wanda spat. 'Your taste in secret hideouts sure has dropped in recent months.'
'Wanda!' Pietro scolded. 'Don't taunt him, you don't know what he'll do!'
'Oh shut up you wuss.' Wanda replied. 'Grow yourself a back bone!'
'What makes you think that I'm your father?' Magneto replied.
Wanda noticed something different in 'Magneto's' voice and narrowed her us suspiciously.
'You're not even our father, are you?' She asked.
'W-what're you talking about Wanda?' Pietro asked. 'Of course he's out father, look at him!'
'Magneto' then removed his helmet and revealed the face of a green-haired young woman, not all that older than themselves.
'I'm afraid that the real Magneto is still missing.' The green-haired girl said. 'I'm Lorna, Lorna Dane.'
'Well that tells us who you are.' Wanda said. 'But why did you kidnap us?'
'Yo cut a long story short.' Lorna replied. 'Wanda, Pietro, I am... your sister!'
Outside-
Thanks to X-23's heightened sense, TJ and the others were able to find the warehouse where Wanda and Pietro were hidden in without too much trouble.
'So how are ve going to go about zis?' Kurt asked. 'Just knock on ze door and ask politely to be let in?'
'Have you got any better ideas, Fuzzy?' Paige asked.
'All this talking' making me antsy.' X-23 sighed. 'You guys can stay here but I'm going in after them.'
Before TJ or anyone could say a word of warning, X-23 sliced through the locked door and charged right in.
'She's Logan's clone alright.' TJ muttered.
Inside-
Lorna was partway through telling Wanda and Pietro how she found out that she was related to them.
'My adopted father worked for the US government and the day my powers manifested, I realised how alike I was to Magneto. So, one night I snuck into my father's lab and ran a blood test on myself, to see whether I was related to Magneto. I compared my blood to a sample of Magneto's and sure enough, I was right, Magneto was my father!'
'But that doesn't explain a thing.' Pietro said. 'I thought your birth mother died in a plane crash shortly after you were born.'
'Ah this is where it gets interesting.' Lorna replied. 'I looked into my birth mother's crash and found out that there was an anomaly in the wreckage, every scrap of metal was highly magnetised!'
'If you are our sister.' Wanda said. 'Then why didn't you call us instead of going on a rampage in Bayville?'
'I guess I take after my our father in that respect.' Lorna replied. 'He always did have a flair fro the dramatic.'
'So you're going to let us go now, right?' Pietro asked. 'Cuz we're cool now, aren't we?'
'I have no quarrel with you.' Lorna replied. 'You are free to go.'
'I'll bet they are!' A voice yelled behind them. 'And I'm gonna make sure that they do!'
Lorna spun around to see X-23 standing with her claws unsheathed.
'Ah, the little girl with the adamantium claws' Lorna snorted in derision. 'Do you seriously think that they will be any use against Polaris, the Mistress of Magnetism?'
'Geez.' Pietro muttered. 'And I thought Dad was arrogant.'
'He's not the only one.' Wanda replied. 'At least he wasn't the one that took four girls to the Sadie Hawkins Dance.'
'Let them go.' X-23 said to Polaris. 'Or I'll make you let them go!'
'I have no argument with you.' Polaris replied. 'Now leave before I have to do something that you may regret.'
'Oh I'm banking on it.' X-23 grinned.
'Twen, no!' Wanda yelled. 'Don't, she's our sister!'
Wanda's pleas came to late as X-23 leapt at Polaris with a fierce battle cry. Polaris managed to deflect X-23's blows with magnetic field.
'If you were here earlier.' Polaris said. 'Then you would have found out that I had already released them.'
X-23 just growled deep in her throat and leapt at Polaris once more and once again, Polaris defended herself against her attacks, this time she threw X-23 across the room with a magnetic wave. Unfortunately, that is just the precise moment when TJ and the others made their appearance.
'You, with the green hair!' TJ yelled. 'Let those people go!'
'I already have, you imbecile.' Polaris groaned. 'What does it take for you people to believe me?'
'You could give yahself up.' Paige replied.
'And rot in one of your homo-sapiens cells? I think not!' Polaris snorted.
Before TJ or the others could mount an attack, Polaris levitated off the floor in a magnetic bubble and flew away.
'I've finished with Bayville.' She said to the others. 'You people are just too distrustful!'
And without another word, she departed.
'Vell zat vas eventful.' Kurt said. 'I take it zat magneto vasn't all we expected.'
'Oh yeah.' Wanda replied. 'She was impersonating him.'
'Seems kinda much, don'cha think?' Paige asked.
'I suppose.' Wanda shrugged. 'Oh yeah, she's also my and Pietro's sister!'
'Zat vould explain ze magnetic powers zhen.' Kurt replied.
'Um guys.' Paige said. 'I think that we'd better get back to the mansion before anybody misses us. Don'cha think that Mister Logan would be pissed if he found out that we took 'Twen out on a mission without his permission?'
'I suppose he would.' TJ replied. 'You guys get back to the Velocity, I'll carry her along.'
With that, everybody leaved the abandoned warehouse wondering where and when Polaris would turn up next.
