-Wanda and Pietro's room-
"Pietro stop it!" Wanda yelled at her twin as he kept pummeling the body beneath the comforter.
Pietro turned to look at Wanda, "Who is he!"
Suddenly he felt himself being lifted several feet into the air and then flung out of the now open window. The body beneath the comforter slowly got up, "Wow your brother kicks hard." The comforter dropped to the floor exposing a beautiful shapely redhead.
Wanda smiled at the redhead, "Sorry he's kind of protective."
Jean walked over to Wanda's bed and sat down beside her, "What are the odds that he'd keep this quiet?" she flicked her wrist at the window and it closed.
Wanda chuckled, "I don't know. I'm sure if I asked him, he'd keep this between us."
Jean smiled and got up to put her clothes back on, "Thanks. If Scott found out he'd try to tear through your friends to get to you."
Wanda got off the bed and began to change, "I'd like to see him try. They may be a pack of idiots but they're… they're crafty."
Jean pulled her shirt over her head and peeked an eyebrow, "Crafty?"
Wanda zipped up her black pants and smirked, "I'm just saying for him not to underestimate them. They've had enough of that in life."
Jean smiled at the fact that no matter how much Wanda belittled her teammates she really cared about them, "Should we go see where Pietro landed?"
Wanda pulled her top on, "I'm sure my little brother will be fine, how about you and I get something to eat?"
Jean smiled and walked to the door, "After that little adventure I'm famished."
Wanda smiled and walked behind her out of the door, "I'm surprised no one heard all the noise."
Jean shook her head, "Most of the students are out and the ones still in the mansion are content with minding their own business."
Wanda nodded and smiled. She caught up to Jean and looped her arm through hers, "I think Pietro would accept us, if we choose this lifestyle, even if everyone else doesn't."
Jean looked at her new friend and blushed, "Even though I threw him out of the window?"
Wanda smiled, "I'm sure if he can forgive me for getting him arrested, he can forgive you for throwing him out of a second-story window."
Jean smiled, "Well I guess it would be better if I was upfront with Scott."
Wanda rested her head on Jean's shoulder, "I'm sure he'd understand."
Jean rested her head on Wanda's head, "I sure hope so."
-Meanwhile in the back yard of the mansion-
Pietro landed in a heap on the freshly cut lawn. He slowly straightened himself and rested on his back propped up by his arms. He stared at the window as it closed. After a few minutes he lied down on the grass with his hands behind his head but his eyes never left the window he had just flown out of.
"Wow never thought Wanda would be into women," he shook his head but kept his eyes trained on the window, "She seemed happy, and she really didn't like it when I kicked her. Maybe I should just accept it." Suddenly realization his Pietro, "She didn't even try to stop her," he tilted his head to the side, "She just let her throw me out of the window."
"Ya know Romeo, ya shouldn't talk to yourself. People might get the impression that you're crazy."
Pietro looked over to a balcony to see Anna leaning against the railing supporting her head with her left hand. He smiled and picked himself up off the ground to speed over to her, "Oh Roguiet, you heard everything didn't you?"
Anna nodded, "Sorry but it's hard not to listen when a guy gets thrown out of his bedroom window by his twin sister's lesbian lover."
Pietro smirked, "When you put it like that it sounds like those soaps that St. John always watches."
Anna smiled at his response, "St. John watches soaps?"
Pietro shrugged, "We all have our TV based vices."
Anna straightened up, "Really?"
Pietro genuinely smiled, "Sure, I watch cartoons, Todd watches the discover channel, Freddy is really into movies from the 80s' you know like the Blues Brothers, Lance likes reality TV, and Wanda… Wanda watches porn."
Anna laughed, "No way."
Pietro nodded, "More than the entire Brotherhood combined."
Anna nodded, "Hey, you have super strength right?"
Pietro peeked an eyebrow, "Yeah… Why?" She deftly leapt of the balcony. Pietro was so shocked he could only extend his arm and hope for the best. Anna landed on him with a sick thud.
Pietro was laying face down on the ground tapping his fingers, while Anna sat on his back, "Ah thought ya said ya had super strength."
Pietro picked his head up, "I'm not Freddy I have my limits…" He smirked at as she turned her head to look in his eyes, "And besides you've put on a few pounds."
She smiled at him in shock and drove his head back into the ground, "Jerk."
He picked his head back up and chuckled, "Hey I'm the one that flew out of a window and had a girl leap off a balcony only to break her fall with my back."
Anna smirked at him then turned her head, "Ah thought you'd like me to be on top."
He chuckled, "Yeah but I'd like to be in a position to take advantage of your position."
She shook her head, "Are all ya Brotherhood members perverts?"
Pietro rested his head on his hand, "You should know you used to be one of us."
Still sitting on his back she rested her head in her hand, "So… what do you wanna do?"
Pietro smirked, "Get the feeling back in my legs." He paused and then looked into her eye while she playfully glared at him, "Then maybe we could go up to your room and finish your idea."
Anna finally got off his back and dusted herself off, "Did ya honestly think that would work?"
Pietro got to his feet and dusted himself off as well, "Hmm… How about I take you to a nice little restaurant I know about?"
Anna peeked an eyebrow, "Ah don't know. Will ya have to talk into a clown's head?"
Pietro smirked, "You can talk to your brother anytime, I'm taking you to dinner." He picked her up bridal style, "Hold on," and sped off into the mansion.
-The kitchen a few minutes later-
Pietro and Anna sat at the table with a bowl of raviolis from a can sitting in front of them.
Anna peeked an eyebrow, "The kitchen is the nice restaurant ya were talkin' about?"
Pietro smirked, "Mansion life's changed you. I remember in the Brotherhood house when this was the most anticipated meal of the week."
Anna speared a single ravioli and ate it, "Well yeah, no one in that house knew how to cook. It was either eat from a can or let Todd catch your dinner for ya."
Pietro chuckled, "I'm glad St. John landed on our door step, the man maybe be crazy but he knows his way around the kitchen."
Anna cocked her head to the side, "How did ya end up with Pyro for a roommate?"
Pietro looked at his bowl, "It was after Remy died. I'm sure you know when Magneto brought his Acolytes here, they were really uncomfortable."
Anna snorted, "To say the least."
Pietro began moving his ravioli around, "Well St. John was always opposed to living here. When Remy fought that twisted behemoth…" he paused thinking back to what St. John had told him.
Anna's eyes began to water, "If it wasn't for that stupid swamp rat me, Piotr, and the Aussie wouldn't be here."
Pietro laughed sarcastically, "It never sat right with St. John."
Anna looked at Pietro, "What didn't?"
Pietro looked up into her eyes, "The way he held Piotr and St. John back, if he'd have let them run after you two when they wanted then he might still be around picking locks, hitting on anything in a skirt, and blowing things up."
Anna smiled, "He said he just wanted to talk to me under the stars. He never got to say a word, until that murderer showed up. Beat Remy and me good until those two showed up. Piotr said Mags sent them cause the others were gone on some damned mission."
Pietro held her hand rubbing his thumb over her knuckles, "In the end he saved us all. After that St. John just showed up and never left."
Anna wiped away a few tears with her free hand, "Pietro?"
Pietro looked into her eyes, "Yeah?"
Anna grabbed his free hand with hers, "Ah'm tired of playin' it safe. Ah'm tired of worryin' about my powers. Let's go out tonight and cause a little trouble."
Pietro smiled, "Sure. We'll go anywhere you want to go."
Suddenly a certain speedster's fraternal twin interrupted the mood.
Wanda and Jean burst through the door. Wanda stared at the situation, "Awe I think we just interrupted these two finally hooking up."
Pietro rolled his eyes, "Shut up Wanda."
Jean put a hand on his shoulder, "No hard feelings about the window incident right?"
Pietro smiled and shook his head, "No it lead to this." He lifted his and Anna's hand.
Wanda smiled, "That's great little brother."
Pietro shook his head, "So what does one-eye have to say about you stealing his girlfriend."
Wanda looked at Jean, "We may not know where we stand in this relationship but we think we should be straight with him."
Pietro chuckled, "Nice choice of words sis."
Unbeknownst to the occupants of the kitchen a certain blue elf and sunglass clad team leader were standing at the door.
