The Uncanny R-Man: Yep just doing this until the next major AGU is coming. Thanks there wasn't much info on Lorna's mother so I'm making a lot of this up.

Jenscott: Yeah this won't be very long, and I know stupid people there don't read past issues I think. But I had already said she was his daughter and I'm sticking with it, I like the idea of Wanda having a sister so I'm taking what I like from the comics and doing the rest on my own.

Sean Malloy-1: Well she may mention that he's got an older brother but I think Lorna would have already mentioned that.

Slickboy444: Thanks, and yeah life at Xavier's is nothing but normal is it? Denise and Wanda will have their own private talk later on. Yeah Wanda has enough to deal with in her life so I wanted the Danes as nice people.

Jinxeh: Thanks, nice to hear from you and yeah I saw that and I gave you a review on another story about it. It's not the kind of thing I like to read about sorry.

She-elf: I just needed to take a break from it is all.

ViciousAssassin: Well I hope you liked what's coming up and a little background into the Danes lives as well.

Episodic: Yeah I'm kind of the same with my own family too. Yeah Lorna just wants to have a good relationship with her sister and is just worried about screwing it up.

Trecebo: Oh trust me I had this planned out for awhile I just didn't have the time to write this yet.

Multifan: Why did you put Vincent in there? He had nothing to do with this and he didn't even show up in this fic she didn't even think of asking him. I guess news would get around with all of that. Yeah I have plans for the Wagners to show up later on in the series. I don't know about the airport that's why I didn't name it, I let the readers decide for themselves. You'll see a deeper understanding in Miss Dane.

Wanda and Lorna

CHAPTER 2: THE DANES

Wanda looked around the room that she would be using during her stay here. It was pretty nice, large bed, nothing personal in it but then it was a spare room with what looked like a small bathroom. There was a large window with nice curtains. A closet that she noticed had a few things in it in plastic covers. Most likely dress clothes for special occasions where kept there to save space in their own. It didn't matter to her. She only had a few things that she would put in the empty dresser against one of the walls. It was a bit smaller then the one t the mansion but all in all it was still good.

"Are you sure that you don't want to stay in my room tonight?" Lorna asked her again. She kind of hoped that she would change her mind. She had this mental image in her head of the two of them staying up talking and stuff and other 'sisterly' things. Lorna knew that most of that little 'fantasy' wouldn't happen but it would still be nice.

Wanda looked at her, "Why would you want me too?"

Lorna bit her lip, "Well…it's just that…I don't know…we could do all the 'sister' things that I've always wanted to do. I know that you most likely got your own ideas and that."

Wanda considered this and sat down, "Well…truth is I got nothing I mean I've never had a sister or thought what it would be like to have one until you came along. Although you're a lot more into this then I am."

Lorna just blushed a bit at that, "Sorry, I know I'm trying too hard but I'm just really nervous inside. I mean I was afraid my mm would freak out or hate you or something but she really seems to like you. But then my mom is one of those people who are very open and likes mostly everyone she meets."

Wanda guessed that's Lorna got her personality from, "So…you're mom never married?"

Lorna leaned back against the "Well…she was married but he died. Dane isn't her maiden name but she still kept it, even if she isn't Mrs. anymore she still goes by Ms. Dane."

"The story she told me was that awhile after six months after his death she wasn't looking where she was going and this silver haired man pulled her out of the street as a car nearly ran her down. They got to talking apparently he lost his own wife not too long ago and then…one thing led to another. He left she never saw him again and then nine months later I came along."

Lorna sighed thinking about it, "My mom always says I was the best thing to come along since that day…She's loved and cherished me since I'm all she had in her life to fill that empty void in her. I was hard on her at times raising me alone. I mean not many men want to date a woman with a child let alone get into a serious relationship with them."

"How about now?" Wanda asked listening in. She was learning a lot about her sister's life and she really wanted to know a lot. Wanda may not be much of a talker but Xavier had told her that sometimes it's more important to be a listener.

"Well she's seeing this guy Robert in her firm…he's a nice guy I guess. I want her to be happy and all but for the longest time I had hoped that my father would one day come back…but…after learning who he is…"

"Yeah he's got that kind of effect," Wanda nodded with a little sour tone she reserved for her father usually.

"Yeah…I mean…finding out you got long lost family, an older sister whose twin brother is working for our father who is the number one mutant terrorist on the planet…It's not something you just get over. It took me a week just to tell my mom what I learned."

"You seemed okay at the mansion after the results."

Lorna smiled a little shyly, "Well…I was still in shock…plus there was Alex too so I was kind of torn between the two."

Wanda rolled her eyes at that, "What do you see in that guy?"

"Why? What's wrong with him?" Her sister said a little defensively.

Wanda thought about it, "Nothing I guess…He's not exactly like his big brother Scott…I guess I'm just used to dealing more with Scott then his little brother. But doesn't the whole suffer thing get annoying?"

She shook her head, "Nope, I like it. I've always wanted to try it sometime and I hope he takes me one day to teach me."

"Well…that and there's the whole thing with him dating you and that other girl," Wanda crossed her arms.

Lorna winced at that, "Yeah well…I didn't want to get into a fight…I mean…I know with my work in X-Force I won't get to see him as much as I'd like to and it keeps me busy…It's not that fair for him to wait until who knows when…Besides I intend to win him over in the end anyway."

Wanda saw the determined look in her eyes and gave a small smile. Maybe there was a bit of her family blood in her after all. All of her family seemed to be stubborn and not the type to give up easily. Lorna then got a grin of her own as she looked at her sister, "So…what about you and Simon?" She teased.

Wanda blushed a bit at the name of her boyfriend, "What? What's there to tell?"

"Oh the fact he talks about you at the base and all the stuff he likes about you."

Wanda was silent a moment, "Really? What…what does he talk about?"

Lorna grinned and made like she was going to speak but then closed her mouth, "You know what…Never mind it's not important." She laughed and ran out of the room.

Wanda sat there in surprise and then got to her feet fast chasing after the green haired sixteen year old girl, "Lorna! You get back here and tell me what he says!" She really wanted to know is he only said nice things and if Simon told them anything embarrassing she would make sure he paid for it. After she found, caught and got any information out of her sister that is.

Downstairs Denise heard that and smiled. She heard her daughter's laughter and it was a good sign. Denise walked through her home to a small room that was an office where she could work at in peace and quiet. There was a desk, computer on it and a few filing cabinets filled with old case files. There was also her own personal collection of law books in a glass case. But she chose to look at the pictures she had on a wall. They were all of Lorna at various stages, one had her just as she had been born, her brother had taken that picture for her.

Three was one of her at her first play as a child, her tenth birthday party with all her friends and a few others. She went to her desk and there were two pictures in a double frame. One was of her late husband and her, she still missed him and wished that she had been Lorna's father and that they had been able to have each other. He had been a great and kind man that she had met in University. It was love as first sight and sadly even though she was dating again she felt she would never find love like that again.

In the next frame was her and Lorna a few years ago on a vacation together. She adored her daughter, for the longest time Lorna had been the only thing that had kept her going. She knew that the man she'd met as Eric had been the father she had been with no other man after her husband and she tried to find him when she found out but it was like he vanished.

She had been scared to raise a child up alone without a father but she found the strength to go on. She never regretted it but then when Lorna came to her with news that she knew who her father was and let alone she had siblings…Denise was shocked. She had listened to it all and didn't know what to think.

Denise pulled open a drawer with a file that read 'SHIELD: CLASSIFIED' on it. Lorna managed to get a copy of a file on her father and Denise and looked it over and over again. She opened it up and saw the image of the man who called himself Magneto. Even with the helmet she saw the eyes in a photo and knew it was him. But his eyes were so cold and hateful. It was like looking at another person, the man she had known had been someone who had been filled with as much pain and sadness as herself and he seemed like a good man.

But now seeing that face she wondered just what happened to that man she had known. What turned him into this? She closed the file and put it away she had made Lorna promise her that she would never let him know that she was her daughter. She didn't want this man Magneto to get his hands on her after all the stories and information she read. Lorna had told her how her father had thrown his own daughter away and the thought of a parent dong that angered and frightened her. She didn't want Lorna to be a part of anything that man would do and she was afraid what he might do to Lorna.

Thankfully her daughter had agreed to it. She had always wanted to know her father but after she found him even Denise could see that Lorna was some what afraid of him. She was just glad that Wanda, even though seemed a bit reclusive was a nice girl so far.

Meanwhile Wanda had finally caught Lorna and had her on her bed in Lorna's room in a firm but not too tight grip, "Okay spill it."

"Never, you'll never get me to talk!" Lorna said nearly laughing.

Wanda looked around the room, it had boy band posters, a few stuff animals, a desk with a computer and lamp, a shelf with lots of novels and a few photos and stuff, "Okay spill it or I zap one of the fluffy animals."

"You wouldn't?"

"Do I look like the kind of girl that likes cute fluffy things?"

Lorna thought about that one, "Okay okay, let me up okay?" Wanda got off her and Lorna took her prized stuffed bear off the bed and hugged it close, "All Simon says is how much he likes you and how great it is that you know him only as a person and not the old actor he used to be."

"Okay then…you know I was bluffing right?" Wanda told her seeing her clutch the bear.

"Yeah I figured, just didn't want to be wrong." Then she noticed how Wanda was looking at her, "What? I've had this since I could remember didn't you ever have something you cherished from your childhood?"

Wanda sat down on the computer chair across from her and thought about that. She didn't really think that far back that much. There wasn't much she could remember anymore but there were a few memories and with Lorna asking her that brought up one she had forgotten all about. "Yeah…I…I think so…I used to have a doll. It had long brown hair and a yellow dress…I used to play with it all the time…I remember Pietro took it from me once and I started crying until…until Magneto told him to give it back to me."

Wanda had forgotten all about that doll, when they had taken her in the car for 'a ride' as her father had said she had tried to take it with her but he said she wouldn't need it. She wondered whatever happened to it? Most likely thrown out with any of her stuff, she was sure her father wouldn't want any reminders around.

"Hey you okay?" Lorna asked seeing her sister kind of space out a bit. She saw Wanda shake off a memory as she came back, "You kind of spaced for a minute."

"I'm fine."

"You…want to talk about it?" Lorna asked a little uncertain.

Wanda thought about it for a moment, "Maybe…maybe later not just yet okay?" She said in a soft tone and Lorna nodded. She knew that Wanda had a pretty rough time in her life and didn't want to push too much. Wanda decided to change subjects, "So…how did you get chosen for Fury's little team?"

Lorna smiled a bit at that, "Well…when my powers started to flare up it was hard. I mean do you know how freaky it is to walk into a room an all the lose metal objects start to fly at you?"

Wanda snorted at that, "You're kidding?"

"I wish," Lorna grumbled, "At one point my mom called me in sick for school cause I couldn't get any metal objects off my body, no matter how hard we tried to pry them off." That got Wanda to let out one of her rare laughs. "Hey! It's not that funny! I mean okay maybe a little…except when the damn knives and forts came at me. That scared me to death and I was nearly impaled."

That stopped Wanda's laughter as her eyes widened, "God were you hurt?"

Her sister shook her head, "No, I did scream and held up my hands and then they all just suddenly stopped and then just dropped to the floor." Lorna sighed she had never been so scared in her life at that moment. "Of course with my hair I just said I colored it green when it changed I mean by then mutants were all over the place and well…I didn't want any more trouble then I was having."

Wanda nodded she could relate to that then Lorna went on to explain how at school in the cafeteria a pop can moved and stuck to her arm. Only her friends noticed it but thankfully they were good friends and kept their mouths shut, "Man you're lucky to have that. So far the only humans we have in Bayville that I know about that don't hate mutants are Amy and Joseph McKnight and that Pam Cranston. And they're dating a few of us…well…Pam is dating Ray and Joseph is seeing Rahne. Amy used to be seeing Gale but they broke up cause Amy wasn't ready to be 'outed' or something I think. There's a little confusion on that last bit."

"Well I'm sure things will get better but yeah these have been girls I've known my whole life. They were a little freaked out at first but they still accepted me as still the girl they knew. They even helped me to cover my powers now and then," Lorna filled in a few times that had happened. "In fact tomorrow do you mind if I call them over? I mean I know this is our time but I haven't seen then in so long and I want them all to meet my bid sister."

Wanda thought about it, but if they were okay then she guessed it wouldn't be too bad. She just shrugged and said okay.

"Cool so where was I? Oh yeah, well we were on the bus riding back on an overpass when a tire blew out. The Bus hit the rail from going out of control and we were toppling over the side. I didn't want anyone to get hurt so I used my powers and 'dragged' the bus back. Now I've never tried lifting something that big before and it put a major strain on me. Next thing I know I wake up from blacking out with medics checking me out and a reporters there trying to get my picture."

"I take it the secret was out after that." Wanda stated.

"Oh yeah in a big way," Lorna sighed clutching her bear tighter. "It was hard you know? Everyone looked at me differently except for my friends. If it wasn't for them I think I couldn't have handled it. Then a few weeks after it Fury himself shows up. He gives this whole super team he's forming and all this stuff about patriotism and crap. Personally I just wanted to do something worthwhile with my powers and he also offered me training in how to use them."

"It took me a week to decide on what to do…But I think you get an idea of what I chose."

"So…what was the final reason for doing it?"

Lorna shrugged, "There wasn't just one reason but just many that kind of piled up. The looks and words people called me, the feeling that I didn't belong, wanted more control. Stuff like that. It was the hardest thing I've ever choose…but…I think I did the right thing."

Then he smiled and looked up at Wanda, "But I'm really glad I did. If I hadn't then I would never have found you." Even Wanda had to smile a little at that. They continued on talking for over an hour just about their own lives and the little things in them until Lorna's mother called up from downstairs.

"Girls! Dinner!" She called up to them.

"Thanks mom!" Lorna called back, "Come on I hope you like my mom's cooking." Wanda hoped so, but then again she had gotten used to Ororo's cooking and she made the best food Wanda tasted. But then again before that it was the crappy food of the asylum with medication hidden in it and the Brotherhood wasn't much better. After eating that stuff for years a lot of stuff tasted great. So she guessed she was interested to see how Loran's mother could cook as she followed her half-sister downstairs to the kitchen.
