Mystique never realized how much she didn't know about the members of the Brotherhood. For instance she didn't know Lance could play the guitar, or that Todd could paint, that Freddy could cook or that Wanda really did care about her brother.
Strangely enough it was the speed demon himself that truly had her in the dark. He was constantly challenging her authority and twisting her words. Giving her absolutely no room to even get to know him. It made her wonder what had happened to make him so untrustworthy.
Sighing she stepped into the school's main office. "Hello Principal Darkholme. Welcome back." Raven plastered on a smile with a "Hello, Cindy." As she walked past the blonde haired bimbo that was the secretary.
The smile immediately faded as she walked into her now acclaimed office. She had to hand it to the boys. They scared that man shitless. Though she wasn't sure if Xavier had informed his students of her position or not. She was in no mood to get a new identity when she liked this one just fine.
Step one on her agenda. Enroll Wanda in school. 'She deserves a good education after all she's been through.' She thought, 'Better give her separate classes from Pietro. Now just how am I going to get him to open up to me?' She immediately cursed herself with a slam of her fist on her oak desk. Why was he nagging at her mind?
Suddenly her phone rand as she reached to answer it, "Yes?" she asked as neutrally as possible. Cindy's gum smacking could be heard as she said, "There's a cute young fella' out here to see ya Ms. Raven."
Raven bit back a scream at the air headedness of her secretary. Damn school boards. "I'm sorry Cindy, but I don't let "cute young fellas" in without a name."
There was hushed whispering and a "What's your name honey?" on Cindy's behalf. Then she said, "He says his name is Pietot-piert..." Raven sighed, why her? "Pietro?" she asked. "Yeah that's it!" her dimwitted worker realized. "Hold on." Raven informed her.
Striding across her office she opened the door only to see Cindy giggling like mad as Pietro leaned over the desk chatting her up. "Mr. Maximoff!" HE looked over at her and gave her a smug grin. "Give me a call, Kay?" he said winking at Cindy who blushed and nodded.
Irritated she took her finger and looped it through the neck of his shirt and literally dragged him into her office. Freeing himself from her he plopped into one of her chairs as his legs dangled carelessly off the side, "Hey I like your secretary she's cu-" he began but was cut off by Raven. "Don't even think about it she's too old for you."
He shrugged. "She's what thirty? Around your age right?" She glared at him as he gulped. "Hehe." he laughed nervously, "In less you're younger in which case I'm sorry!" He cried throwing his hands above his face as if to defend himself. She rolled her eyes.
"Why are you here, Mr. Maximoff?" she questioned. "Please Raven, call me Pietro he told her with a smirk. "And I'm here because Duncan's got a good view at the top of the flag pole right now as his idiot friends try to get him down as we speak." He informed her. She buried her face into her hands. "What this time?" She mumbled.
"Him and his jerk off friends were beating up Todd for no good reason." He protested. She raised and eyebrow. She had no idea that they were a close knit group. She sighed. "As much as I'd like to let this one slide Pietro I can't. You'll both have detention after school. You come to my office and he'll go help the tutor session. Okay?"
He shrugged, "Fine by me but I feel sorry for all those kids at tutoring." She snickered despite herself. "Go back to class Pietro and try to stay out of trouble."
Picking his slim form out of the chair he nodded, "See you after school. Raven." He muttered before walking out. "Well this will be interesting." She said to herself with a sigh.

DigitalAngel4U: So what will happen at detention? You'll have to review if you want more. J/K! You'll see. And no they won't instantly get all cuddly. The process will take time.
