Three months had passed since Sabertooth tried to kill Trent. It was around ten at night. Ice and Trent were out on a date at a new club that opened. They were dancing when Ice noticed a man dressed up weirdly, staring at her. Though when she put her full attention on him, he suddenly wasn't there. Ice just ignored it and kept on dancing.

Everyone was sleeping in the mansion. When Storm woke up, she put on her robe and went downstairs to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and got out a pint of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. She closed the door to see Victor coming into the kitchen.

"Hey." Storm said.

"Hi." He replied as he pulled out a beer.

"You know that's Logan's beer." Storm told him.

"Well, that just makes this even better." He stated as he took the top off and sat down.

"Why does Allison hate me? I honestly thought I was doing what was best for her." Storm asked him.

"Simple, she feels betrayed. No one ever explained to her when she was a kid, why she had to leave. So being with that so called family, she was forced to grow up sooner than she should've." Victor told her.

Storm put her spoon down. "If I knew that they would be like that to her, I wouldn't have given her to them."

"Why did you give her up in the first place?"

"She didn't show any signs of being a mutant, so I didn't want her to get hurt."

"That's no reason to give up your daughter 'Ro. She didn't even know those people. From what Ice has told me, she thought that you hated her."

"I never hated her! There hasn't been a day that has gone by that I haven't thought of her."

"You had a funny way of showing it!" Ice said from the doorway, with Trent.

"Ice I'll talk to you tomorrow." Trent said as he went upstairs.

Ororo stood up. "Allison please just hear me out." Ororo pleaded.

Ice looked at her in disbelief. "You're jokin right? Do you really think that you can just explain to me, why you gave me up at six years old, and then everything will just go back to normal? That's not going to happen!"

"Allison, please jus-" Storm started to say.

"No! When I was little I cried for months because I wanted my mother. The first few weeks I was there, I rarely ate anything. Hell, a year went by, which seemed like an eternity to me. I didn't ask for any Christmas presents that year, because the only thing I wanted was you. That didn't come true. On my seventh birthday, I wished with all my heart that you'd come and bring me home. That didn't come true either. You didn't send me a card, you didn't send me anything. By my eighth birthday I finally got it. You weren't coming back to get me. I finally realized that you lied to me, when you said that I would be stay there for a little while. That night, I learned people always leave. When I came to terms with that, the sweet little girl, Allison, died. All the love she had for you vanished into thin air. I used to think that you owed me a childhood, a family an a mother, but now Storm I don't want anything to do with you." Ice told her. Ice closed her eyes as she walked out of the kitchen.

Storm sat back down, she let her tears fall freely. "Well, there's my answer. My only daughter hates me." Storm said as she started to cry. Ice cried herself to sleep.

Ice woke up around noon the next day. She got up, took a shower, brushed her teeth, got dressed, then went downstairs. To see everyone looking really quiet, well Rin mad as hell.

"Hey, what's up?" Ice asked them.

"Nothin." S.M said.

"Where's Trent?" Ice asked. Rin just got up and left the room. Trent came out of a room. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Ice. "What's wrong Trent?" Ice asked him.

Trent sighed. "Ice, I need to talk to you." Trent led her into another room. Ice saw a woman around her age and about four months pregnant. She had black hair to her shoulders and brown eyes.

"Trent?" Ice asked when she saw the woman.

"Ice please just listen to me. It was about a week after you and Rin left. Ivy, S.M and I all went to this party. I got really trashed that night, the next morning I woke up and…" Trent explained to her, until he trailed off. Ice let go of his hand.

Ice backed away from him. "You slept with her didn't you?" Ice asked him. She looked Trent in the eyes and got her answer. "And you got her pregnant." A tear fell from Ice's eye. Trent moved to whip it away, but Ice moved out of the way. "Don't touch me."

"Ice." Trent whispered.

"If she hadn't gotten pregnant would you have ever told me?" Ice asked him. Trent couldn't answer her.

"Trent we really should be leaving." The woman, Mary said.

"Ice, please just hear me out. I still love-" He tried to say.

"Don't you dare finish that sentence! I hope your baby is healthy, but Trent…just go." Ice told him. She walked out of the room. Trent walked after her. Ice turned the corner to run into Victor, he saw the tears in her eyes.

"Ice, what's the matter?" He asked her. Trent then came after Ice.

"Ice please just listen to me." He pleaded.

"Leave me alone!" She said again. Victor growled at him as he picked Trent up by throat and slammed him into the wall.

"I told you that I'd hunt you down and kill you. But lets get straight to the killing part." Victor said as he tightened his grip on Trent's throat.

"Let him go." Ice told Victor. He looked at her shocked. "Please just put him down." Victor dropped him, but still glared down at him. Ice turned around and looked at Trent. "That's the last thing I'm doing out of love for you." Ice said as she took out her wallet and gave Trent his apartment key. She then turned around and walked away.

"Ice-" Trent called after her. Victor picked Trent up to his eye level.

"You will not speak, look, or talk to her with your mind do you understand me?" He demanded. Trent nodded as Victor let him go again. Trent turned around and went to pack his stuff.

All day Ice tried to keep herself busy. Though soon the whole day passed. Ice walked into her room and flew out the window onto the roof. She sat on the roof for a few minutes before hearing someone behind her. Lucas sat down next to her.

"So what's the matter wit yea?" He asked her.

Ice looked at him weirdly, before remembering his powers. "Nothing." She told him.

"That's not what yer mind says." He told her.

"Fine, I'm PMSing." She replied. Lucas looked at her discussed and shocked. "Trent's leaving." She admitted.

"Why? Yea two were so happy tagether."

"Rin and I were the first two to come to Magneto's team. S.M, Ivy and Trent were left behind. One night they went to this party, Trent got trashed slept with a girl and now found out that she's pregnant." Ice said as she tried not to cry.

"It is alright, ta cry yea know." Lucas told her. Ice looked at him with her eyes full of tears.

"I haven't cried since the night I realized my mom wasn't coming to get me." Ice told him as a tear went down her face.

"It's ok. Crying it's a sign of weakness lass."

"No, it just makes me feel weak and vulnerable." Another tear went down her face.

"That's were ye're wrong. Yea aren't weak, ye're one of the strongest people I know." Ice brought her knees up to her chest and started to cry. Lucas put his arm around her, so she cried onto his shoulder.

"Nothing makes sence to me any more." Ice cried on his shoulder.

"Ah, know, but Ay promise it's gonna be alright." Lucas promised her.

Rin barged into Trent and Sabertooth's room. "Rin, knock before you-" He started to tell her.

"Shut up Trent! How the fucking hell could you do this to Ice? I thought you loved her. She thought you loved her." Rin demanded.

"Rin, I didn't mean for it to happen. It just did baby sis." He replied.

"Trent I'm only your friend and your step-sister. You may think of me being closer then a step-sister, but I can barely look at you right now." Rin took a deep breath and exhaled. She calmed down a little bit, but not much. "I hope the baby is alright, Trent." Rin then left the room.

Trent closed his suitcase and picked it up. He headed to the door when he saw Ivy and S.M. "So are you two going to rip my head off as well?" He asked.

"No, just saying bye and hope the kid is healthy." Ivy said then left along with S.M.

Trent walked out of the door to see Mary waiting inside a taxi. Trent put his suitcase in the trunk, when he looked up and saw Ice crying on Lucas's shoulder. It suddenly started to pour down raining. He got into the taxi and shut the door. The car left the grounds.

"It's alright, he's gone." Lucas told her.

"I'm not crying about him Lucas. Ever know the truth about someone, but just refused to realize it? Well, I knew one day he'd get so drunk he'd sleep with someone. It just kinda hurts cause I hoped I'd be wrong." Ice said as she dried her eyes with her sleeve.

"Then who were yea crying over?" He asked.

"I want my mama back. God, I want to hate her for what she did to me, but I can't. All these years I wanted to hate her, but I can't. Though I don't know how to forgive her." Ice said.

"Well, one person told me that anyone can hate. But it takes a strong person ta forgive." Lucas said. Ice looked up at him.

"Who said that?" She asked.

"Ay don't remember." He told her.

"Then why don't you listen to the advice?" Ice asked.

"Cause Ay'm not that kinda guy." Lucas said. Ice looked at him weirdly. "Yeah, Ay know that Ay'm weird."

"If you don't listen to your own advice, why should I listen to it?" She asked.

"Do as Ay say, not as Ay do." Lucas replied. Ice smiled at him.

"Smartass."

"Ay try lass. Ay try." Lucas said. Just then both Lucas and Ice heard a beep coming from their communicator. "Damn, these X-people have a lot of problems."

"Not X-Men, Acolyte. Magneto must want a meeting that he doesn't want the X-Men to know about." Ice said as she got up. The both of them jumped off the roof, but thanks to Ice's powers landed safely. They went into the mansion and down to the control room. They saw everyone else there.

"Hey." Rin, Ivy and S.M said. Ice just smiled at them. "So what are we doing here?"

"I'm finally going to explain why we're with the X-Men." Magneto said.

"Thank God, cause if I had to put up with Jean for another hour, I'll kill her." Rin said as her hands were covered in red flames.

Magneto just ignored her comment. "We are here because I wanted to try to change Xavier's ideas on mutants and human. Sadly, it's not working as I hoped. We won't be staying here that much longer. But there is also something else that I wanted, Ivy." Magneto said.

Ivy looked at him, now paying attention. "What?" She asked.

"You are to help my son Pietro run the Brotherhood." Magneto said. Right after Magneto was finished talking Gambit and Pyro cracked up laughing. Even Sabertooth tried to hold in a laugh, which only Ice noticed.

"Pietro?" Ivy asked.

"Yes, he is my son. He is the leader of the Brotherhood, but lets just say he needs help." Magneto said.

"He needs a lot of help." Gambit said. Magneto glared at him. "Sorry boss, but Gambit's jus statin de truth. Oh hell Gambit went by jus ta check up on t'ings Toad slimmed him ta de wall. Ya daughter was throwin hexs at him and Rocky uh Lance was throwin stuff at de boy. If Gambit didn't feel so sorry for him, he'd throw stuff as well." Ivy, Rin, Ice and S.M's eyes shot at Gambit.

"Lance?" They all said. Gambit nodded.

"Last name?" Ivy asked.

"Alvers." Magneto replied. Ivy's eyes turned green as she stood up.

"When do I leave?" She asked.

"As soon as you pack your things." Magneto said. Ivy nodded and left the room.

"What's the deal about Lance?" Pyro asked.

"When Ivy was a kid, she mostly grew up in foster homes and orphanages." Rin said.

"She also had a twin brother named Lance." Ice added on to Rin.

"So what? Dere has ta be a lot of guys named Lance." Remy said.

"Ivy's real name is Tiffany Marie Alvers. Her brother Lance left her alone in an orphanage, after he promised not to. If this guy is named Lance Alvers, there's a still a good chance that he's her twin brother." Rin said.

Ivy had gotten all of her stuff packed with the help of Ice and Rin. When Kitty and a few of the X-Girls came in. "Ivy, like where are you going?" Kitty asked.

"To the Brotherhood." She replied.

"Well now that you mention the Brotherhood…You do look a lot like this guy Lance Alvers." Tabby said. The ground shook for about five seconds. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You might've just proven something for me." Ivy said as she zipped her backpack. She left the room leaving Ice and Rin behind.

"Should we follow?" Ice asked.

"Uh, duh!" Rin replied.

Ivy walked down to the garage to see Gambit. "Ready?" He asked. Ivy nodded as took off his only helmet and put it on.

"If you crash, I'm sure as hell not dying." Ivy said. Gambit just gave her an amused smirk.

"Who'd said we'd crash?" He asked her. Ivy just got on in back of him and held on. Gambit speeded out of the garage. As soon as she left, she heard Magneto's voice in the helmet.

"Gambit." Magneto said.

"Sorry boss, but the Cajun is busy at the moment." Ivy told him.

"Alright, Ivy. You were the one this message was about anyway. You are not to try to kill Lance, if he turns out to be your twin brother. He is the most powerful of the Brotherhood, besides Wanda. She'd kill all of them in an instant." Magneto ordered. Ivy smirked.

"Fine, I won't try to kill Lance." Ivy sighed.

"Good and oh the two want to be angels are tagging along with S.M and Lucas, just to make sure you go through with that promise." Magneto told her. Ivy smirked.

"Alright, I already told you that I wouldn't try." Ivy said ending the conversation. Gambit soon parked in front of the Brotherhood's house. Ivy got off and then Gambit got off. Ivy looked to her right to see a jeep that had someone under it. All she could see where ripped jeans. Before Ivy could go over to the jeep, a silver haired blue eyed teenager was in front of her.

"Gambit, what are you doin here?" He asked.

"Gambit's jus here ta bring ya y'r new helper for de Brotherhood." Gambit said motioning to Ivy.

"Hi, name's Pietro and you, look like a female version of Lance." Pietro said. Ivy glared at him. "Sorry, and you are?" He asked.

"Name's Ivy. I take it that that's Lance over there under the Jeep?" Ivy asked, Pietro nodded. Ivy walked over to the jeep. She made a weed wrap around his leg.

The ground began to shake. "Toad, if you touch me with that discussing tong again I'll kill you." Lance said. Ivy made the ground stop shaking. "The hell, Wanda would you stop canceling out my powers!" Lance yelled.

Yeah, it's him. Ivy thought. "My name isn't Wanda or Toad, Lance." She said in a deadly low voice. Lance came from under the jeep. His eyes widened when he saw her.

"Tiffany?" He whispered. Ivy smirked down at him when the weed around his leg tightened. She made it hold Lance upside down. "Tiffany what are you doing? Put me down." Lance said.

"Hello big brother." Ivy said as her eyes turned completely green. Just then Ivy and Ice were next to her.

"Come on Ivy, put him down. You already told Magneto that you wouldn't try to kill him." Ice said.

"Exactly, I said that I wouldn't try. Never said that I wouldn't kill him." Ivy said as another large weed wrapped around Lance's neck.

"Come on Ivy. Why not make his life miserable inside of killing him and going to jail." Rin said as she tried to reason with her friend. Ivy didn't listen to a word they had said.

"Tiffany I'm your brother." Lance said.

"You left me alone in that damn orphanage!" Ivy yelled at him.

"I'm sorry that I didn't take you with me." He said. "I was scared. Tiffany I didn't even know how to take care of myself."

"I don't care. Damn it Lance, I loved you, I trusted you.

Rin looked at Ice. "Now where have I heard this before?" Rin asked Ice. Ice only glared at her.

"Shut up Rin." Ice said. They turned their attention to S.M whom was in front of Ivy.

"Come on amiga, you don't want to do this!" S.M told her. "You're better then this."

Ivy looked at him and shook her head. "At times, I honestly thought I was, but now I just want him dead." Ivy said. The vine tied around Lance's throat.

"Ivy, sleep." Lucas said as he went into her mind. Ivy eyes closed and she fell backwards and S.M caught her.

"And here I thought, I was the killer in the group." Ice said. Rin just hit her upside the head. "Hey, what the hell was that for?" Ice asked as she rubbed her head.

"For thinking you're the only killer in the group." Rin grinned. Ice just glared at her and hit her back. Rin then hit Ice. Ice hit her back. They started to fight until Lucas and Gambit got in-between the two of them.

"Damn it Gambit put me down!" Ice yelled at him. He picked her up around the waist. Lucas did the same with Rin only he used his mind.

Pietro led S.M into the house. He put Ivy down on her bed in her new room. "Well, this should be fun." Pietro said. S.M walked out of the room. All of them rode back to the mansion to see Magneto.

"What's up?" Rin asked.

"I told Ivy not to try to kill Lance." He said darkly.

"Well, she was trying to." Ice said.

"Loop hole boss." Rin replied with a smirk. "Loop holes make the world of rules fun." Magneto glared at her.

"Rin, go before I do something to you!" Magneto almost yelled.

Touch me and I'll kill you. Rin thought. Lucas had to hold in his laugh, but failed.

"What's the matter with you Lucas?" Magneto asked with a glare.

"Nothin, Nightcrawler was just thinkin' too loud again. It was just somethin' about shaving Wolverine's head." He lied. The teenagers in the room just started laughing. Magneto glared at all of them before leaving.

Young people. Magneto thought.

Lucas looked at Rin. "Please stop thinking like that around him. Yea will kill me one day, lass."

"Dude, one day I'll kill the world and cloak everything in darkness." Rin told him. Lucas looked at her like she was crazy.

"No, yea won't. That is what Ay'm destined ta do!" He replied.

"Then why must we fight? We shall destroy the world together!" Rin said. Lucas nodded at her. They walked off talking about their plans
