All things considered, he was insane. Not just out of control like his sister no, just blatantly crazy. It almost made sense in a way. It seemed his entire family was out of their minds. Of course it wasn't his twin's, mother's, or his. It could probably be traced to Magneto, his father. God, he hated the man with a passion. The guy had left them shortly after the Asteroid M incident to fend for themselves, only showing up when he needed them. That's real fatherly love for ya, he though bitterly. He had faced many hardships in his young life, which was why he now felt sanity slipping. He needed something to distract him. Not just from his obvious thoughts of going nuts, but also from the situation with Rogue and of course what he had started with Scott. He was glad that Allana had stopped it when she did. He didn't know if he could have controlled himself. Sometimes he wondered if he was just as bad as Magneto when it came to control issues. Now he was positive that it was time for a distraction. But what? Running all over town didn't seem appealing. T.V. was in all actuality busted. He had told Scott the truth there. There was nothing to eat whether it be their total lack of money or Fred's appetite he didn't know, he wasn't hungry anyway. He could always play a few rounds of "Make Dante Talk" which was always fun. But is just didn't feel right.
"Pietro." He looked up to find the fish-boy in question standing in the doorway of their shared bedroom.
"What?" Any kind of distraction was welcome at the minute.
"You have a phone call." The gothic boy replied.
Phone? Who ever called him? He looked at his watch. It read 11:03. Who called at 11 at night? "Who?"
"Allana." Dante answered almost bitterly.
"Allana?" Huh? Why would she call? Wasn't she still on duty at The Bat Cave?
"Yeah, you know about 5'5", slightly tan skin, short spiky purple hair, green eyes, kind of gothy... ringing any bells here?"
Oh, you mean the Allana that you're hopelessly in love with? He wanted to ask, but held back, he could always antagonize Dante later. "Thanks." Pietro muttered and willed himself to rise from his bed and walk into the hallway. He wasn't quite sure when he actually reached the phone, "Hello?" He asked slowly.
"Maximoff? Bout time you slow-poke!" Allana laughed.
"Allana, are you aware that it's 11 o'clock at night? Aren't you still at work?" Not that he was overly concerned with either, but with the things he had been concerning himself with lately, it was a nice relief.
"Oh sorry, I didn't realize I was talking to Scott."
"That's not funny."
"I know, that's why I don't like hearing you act like him. You do realize that you could have gotten kicked out tonight, right?"
No I didn't Allana, I'm stupid, he thought. "Yes, I don't know what came over me."
Allana sighed, "Whatever it is, I hope it doesn't happen again."
"Me too."
"But that's not the only reason I called." She started.
"What's the other?" He practically demanded impatiently.
"How would you like to actually kiss Rogue and not go into a coma-like state which by the way I've had the luxery of feeling."
She said it so fast that Pietro barely caught it, "What?"
"You heard me! I can't say for sure just yet, but I may have found something." He gripped the phone and silently prayed that this wasn't a joke or even worse, a dream.
"Look, it's a secret until I run a few tests."
"I have no worries about me, you live with two mind readers, it won't stay secret for long."
"I have my ways." With that the line was dead.
