Anyway, this is Evo's timeline, but I'm a comic girl, andI can't go writing a fict without the character's comic personalities... and sometime the history. This fict is taking place in the future of Evo. Like... 7 or so years after the 5th season. Pietro and Wanda left the Brotherhood and joined the Avengers... where a lot of comic-related stuff happen. Also, X-23's is gonna have her comic-history... because I know nothing about her in Evo.

Freedom Force: Destiny
Chapter 1: She Wouldn't
MNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMN
A week later, Pietro and Crystal brought their daughter home, the couple couldn't be anyhappier, or at least Pietro couldn't. Three weeks before Luna was born, Pietro used the money he'd earn while fighting alongside the Avengers. He still have plenty of do money left to whatever, like spoil his Luna.
Pietro was carrying his baby girl, Crystal stare at him with intensity. All he'd done the last 7 days was visit Luna, he'd only visit Crystal 4 times, to show her Luna when the doctor allowed or gave those cards and gifts that her families and friends have given her. Oh, she despies Luna already.
Pietro place Luna in the crib and kissed her, her eyes open up to show a pair of blue sea. Pietro smiled. His daughter is beautiful, must of gotten it from me. His shook his head, his teen ego is returning.
Crystal walk up to them, he pulled her in his arm for the first in weeks. She smiled and cleared her head of jealousy. There's no need to be jealous. Pietro loves her, and he always will. He kissed her, that's when she know for sure. Luna will only be his second favorite.
How crazed up Crysal is. Pietro only said "I love you" to her once, right after she announched that she was pregnant. A child that she does not want. She want to be Pietro's one and only, forever. A child would take his attentions off of her, she knew. But she didn't know that he'd completely forget about her like he did now.
"She's beautiful," Pietro said, his eyes areonly on his daughter.
"I guess if you find a baby girl pretty..." Crystal said quietly, making no sense as her jealousy returned.
"I'm going back to work tomorrow." Pietro announched. "I've hired a nanny to help you care for Luna, if anything happens, please call me at my cell."
"What do you mean by work, when you're just raising funraisers for Wanda's cause?" Crystal asked for the tenth time since he's decided to help his sister. Which was five months ago.
"Because, Wanda's cause is a good cause. She's my sister and I'm the only one she can truely trust with big things. What else do you need to know, Crystal?" Pietro asked, but didn't let her talk. "I'll see you tonight, I have business to attend to."
He gave her another kiss and left the room with a rush. Crystal sigh and glare down at Luna, she want this child out of hers and Pietro's life, but doing that would only make Pietro hate her, as well as her father who she haven't seen since she left the Inhumans. Her father dreamed of the day she would give birth, why? Maybe because he wants to be a grandfather, and that she's his only living child, or she thought so. She sigh again and left the room, leaving the child without a care in the world.

Three months later. Pietro was sitting on a chair next to Gambit and Rogue hoping to raise some money for Wanda's cause. What is this cause you may ask? Let me tell you from the beginning.
Ever since the Avengers have ruin her dreams, and that she'd ruin them. Wanda left the Avengers after she regain her strength and control over her powers. Wanda still wants to be a superheroes, she still wants to protect the innocents. But she didn't wanted to go back to the Avengers. She've caused them too much pain. John gave her the idea of forming her own superhero fighting force, that she should start out with those who she could trust. Pietro, Rogue, Shadowcat, Gambit, and himself. They willfight side-by-side and protect the innocents.
She was overcomed with joy and told Pietro, Rogue, Kitty, and Remy about it. They loved the idea and was willing to help raise money or do whatever to form the team. That's when the funraisers begin, eight months ago.
Thinking of Luna, Pietro wonder how and where she'd gotten her bruices from. It's not big, but Pietro's worry. When he asked, Crystal only said that little Luna had fall when she was trying to walk or blamed the nanny for not properly watching Luna. As if on cube, the white streak hair mutant spoke up.
"So, how's Luna?" Rogue asked.
"She's been hurting herself, I see a few bumps on her body when I gave her a bath last night and the nights before. I fired the nanny and hired a new one." Pietro answered.
"How many nannies have yo' fired an' hired these last trois months, mon ami?" Remy asked at the corner of his eyes.
"Seven--what are you getting at, LeBeau?" Pietro ask quickly. Understanding what Gambit is trying to tell him.
"Luna have been gettin' hurt lately, what does Crystal have to say 'bout it, mon ami?" Remy ask. "Was she t'ere f'r any o' t'ese events?"
Pietro tense and stood up, "she wouldn't."
"Oh, but she would." Rogue begin, "Wanda has the right not ta trust her. It's not the nannies who'd been hurtin' Luna, it's Crystal. But the question is... why?"
Remy answered before he could even figure it out. "B'cause, Pietro, yo've seem t'b'spendin' t'much time with de petite Luna. Remy have observed when he visit yo' at yo'r house. Crystal is jealous, Pietro, I'm a empath, I know so. She's a girl who demands attentions twenty-four seven. Talk t'Crystal when yo' get home."
Pietro let out a quiet growl. So, the person who'd been abusing his daughter have been sleeping in the same bed as him. How he's been so stupid to not know what kind of person Crystal is? He barely know where she's comes from. He can't stall, Crystal could be doing anything to his little girl right now. "I'm going home, tell Wanda I left."
Rogue and Remy gave an understanding nod and he rush back home.

Pietro return home to find Crystal yelling at their crying baby. "Shut up! Stop crying," Crystal raised her hand, about to hit the Luna, who cried even louder as she lay on the ground.
Pietro ran over and grabbed her hand before she could do such thing. He released her hand and push her to the couch. He pick up the crying Luna and hushed her with quiet and gental whisper. "What do you think you're doing to this innocent girl?"
"She's not innocent!" Crystal shout, "She's the devil's child, she'd stolen you from me, she'd crying all day without shutting up--"
She was about to continue on with her lame excuses, but Pietro spoke up. "Luna is just a baby, baby cries when they feel hurt, in danger, or hungry. Don't you know that, Crystal? If she's the devil's child, then you must be the devil birther. It's not right to hit your child, or anyone's child."
She glared at him, "I have the right to, she's my daughter!"
"Yes she is, but you're no mother to Luna." Pietro stated as Luna fell to silence with his embrace. "You've changed since you told me your were pregnant, why can't you be that Crystal I knew before? That Crystal loves kids."
"But those kids pay heed to my words, they don't cry like that wicked Luna. What Crystal are you talking about? Tell me Pietro Maximoff, did you ever once loved me?"
Pietro stayed quiet, the whole room was quiet save Luna's soft sniffing, which irrirated Crystal. Does he love her? Does he love Crystal? That never occured to him. He wasn't even sure why he had told Crystal he loved her. Was his mind overwhelmed with being a father and starting a future for himself? Whatever the reason is, he must be thinking of someone else...
He snapped back to reality when he heard his name being called in a very snappy tone.
"Well," She said impatiencely.
"No," Pietro said with no sign of sympathy.
"What do you mean by no?" Crystal turn furious. "After all I've done for you? Giving you that infested child. Giving my body to you in bed. Loving you!"
"Tell me, Crystal, did you ever love me? Really love me, not just for my body nor my money?" Pietro asked back.
"Yes!" She answered too quickly, making Luna cry again, "Would you shut that damned child up!"
"You've never loved me," Pietro said, "all you wanted from me was gifts! I've bought you everything you wanted, but you use most of them only once and threw them away, like a spoiled princess. Did you ever once said "thank you" or give anything in return? No." Pietro answered for her. "Not even on Valentine's Day or Christmas... do you even know when my birthday is?"
Crystal didn't answer, how she hate Luna. The cursed child. It's all her fault, she made this happen, if it wasn't for her, Crystal would be living a happily ever after life with Pietro Maximoff. "No, but-"
"No buts, Crystal, I want you out of this house-" Pietro begin.
She growl and rushed away from him, he followed behind her in a quick pace that made it seem as if he's running.
Crystal went up to their room and packed up everything that belong to her. "Good, I don't want to be at this house any longer with those loud and obnious shrieking," Crystal pointed to Luna.
As soon as Crystal left the house, Pietro let out a sight of relief and sadness.
Luna doesn't have a mother, but at least no one would ever hurt her again. For those who dare snap at her, he'll kill that person himself.

A/N: Hmm, that's about it, sorry for the Crystal trying to hurt Luna thing. But I had to make them spilt up one way or another...
Facts and Fictions: Matthew, the Wannabees place, Jade, and Geech all exsist! You can find them in Uncanny X-Men #450-451. X-23 goes to Matthew for free food. She repay Matthew by protecting Jade from these anti-mutants. Matthew and Jade are humans. Pietro and Crystal had difficulties in their relationship (She keeps falling for other guys... like me. lol) even after Luna was born (Pietro had hope that with Luna, their marriage would be better). I don't think Crystal ever hurted Luna. I just made that up to make Crystal disappear. Umm, the Freedom Force wasn't found by Wanda, she was never on the team. I think Mystique was the founder and that Pyro was apart of the team. Everything for the Freedom Force from now on will be made up by me, including their enemies.
