Lost

Wanda looked around the taxi stand hoping to find someone who could tell them where the motels were. They could have asked a cab driver but they really did not need to take a cab as Pietro could get them there in about a second or two. Besides Wanda was afraid that they would use up all their money too fast and them what were they going to do if they didn't even get a job. Her eyes wandered over the old couple sitting on a bench. They wouldn't do. They were dressed too nicely to know the kind of places that Pietro and Wanda were looking for. There was that lady with the two kids but before Wanda moved from her place to go ask her the two children started fighting and Wanda didn't feel like going and bothering her while she was trying to break up the fight. She then spotted a young man leaning against the wall. He looked about a few years older than her. Wanda stood there for a while trying to decide whether or not she should walk up to him and ask him for directions while he removed an expensive looking cigarette holder and a lighter. He put the cigarette in his mouth and was just about to light it when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

Wanda jumped and tuned around immediately. She tried to think of something to do if she had to defend herself. But when she turned around she realized that it was just Pietro who had snuck up behind her. She felt a slight blush creeping up her face as she realized that she had been staring at the guy for about ten whole minutes now. But thankfully Pietro didn't even notice, as he was too busy carrying both their suitcases. Pietro slumped down on the seat. Wanda sat down beside him. After a minute or two of complete silence both of them just sat there and stared at the hustle bustle of people who were waiting to get a taxi. They were completely lost. All their lives they had lived in that orphanage and had never really gotten a look at the outside world except o the rare occasions when they had gone out to run a few chores or something.

Finally Pietro got up and went to the guy in the trench coat. He paused for a moment just before he reached him reminding himself to talk slowly like a normal human being. Pietro then strode up to him and Wanda couldn't make out what he was saying but after a while Pietro came back grinning ear to ear closely followed by the guy in the trench coat.

Pietro said "ThisisRemy.Heisamutanttoojustlikeme.isntthatsocool.anywayhesaysthatheknowsaplacethatwecanliveinforaverylowpricetemporarilyuntilwecanfindajobandgetaplaceofourownthatis."

Wanda however did not quite share her brother's enthusiasm. She did not any more than he did about the world but she found it very hard to believe that this guy just wanted to help them out for no reason at all. But seeing as they had no choice, she shook Remy's hand and followed her brother to the cab that was to take them to their hotel.

That's all for now. More to come soon so please continue reading and of course reviewing
