John walked quickly back up to his room all the while saying, " Stupid, stupid, I was so stupid." Repeatedly in his head, they had all walked back together up to the mansion, and somehow he ended up walking right next to Kitty. However, that was not what John was beating himself up about. He only said two words to her the entire time. "Uhuh" and "I don't know." That was a stimulating conversation that Kitty must have had with him. Which explains why John was in the foul mood he was in now.

" What'd you do?" A voice from ahead asked John when he hit the first step of the stairs.

" Huh?" John said looking up at Pietro who was five or six stairs up.

" What idiotic thing did you do this time?" Pietro asked leaning arrogantly against the wall as he looked down at the burnt out Pyro.

" Just the usual mate." Pyro commented lightly as he continued to walk up the stairs.

" What's you burn this time?" Pietro teased lightly a smirk on his face, him and Pyro were actually good friends.

" My pride." Pyro tried to say lightly. " Look Road-Runner, I need some me time." Pyro told him.

" Wanna talk about it?" Pietro asked his manner changing.

" I want you to leave cause I'm on a short fuse right now." Pyro bit out.

" Fine be rude to me, I can take a hint." Pietro said rudely though he did not really mean it the way it came out.

" Pietro-" But before John could get out his name Pietro was gone down the stairs and most likely out the door. " Whatever." John muttered under his breath as he sprinted up the next seven or eight steps.

John sighed as he walked briskly down the long hall and with out a second thought opened his door and walked in. It wasn't until he lied down on his bed that something struck him as odd when he reached for his lighter. " AHHH!" John screamed out.

Logan sat at the kitchen table reading his paper, though this late in the day it wasn't news it was history.

He took a sip of his hot coffee and smiled when he heard the Fire Ant scream out. " Guess he noticed." Logan said quietly as he set his coffee cup down and turned the page his paper.

Ororo was busy cooking dinner on the other side of the room, but she stopped and raised an eyebrow at Logan. " What'd you do?" She asked as if she were interrogating him.

Logan smiled over at her and deeply inhaled the aroma of her cooking. " Something smells good." He commented. " What's for dinner?" He asked.

Ororo eyed him and smiled. " I'm watching you Logan." She warned him as she turned back to her cooking. " We're having spaghetti." She told him.

" Good save me some." Logan told her as he stood up from the table.

" And where are you going?" Storm asked walking over to cut up some tomatoes.

" Home Dept. closes in an hour." Logan told her.

" So?" Ororo asked, she turned and crossed her arms over her chest.

" Gotta buy a new door." Logan said simply, putting his cup in the sink.

" Didn't you buy one a couple hours ago?" Ororo asked frowning as she failed to get the point.

" Yup." Logan said as he walked out the door and into the hallway.

" So why- oh never mind." Storm said as she dropped the subject and continued to cook dinner.

* * *

" Who did it?" John yelled out, storming out of his room. Slamming the door shut behind him, it was then that he noticed that a few feet away was a second door, only with that one there was giant hole in it and if he bent over he could actually fit through it easily.

No one seemed to answer his demand so he yelled out again, " Who stole all my candles?" John demanded.

" Shut up." A female voice yelled out from across the hall behind a closed door.

" Wanda?" John yelled marching up to the door.

" Go away." She yelled out.

" You're the one who blasted a hole into my door and caused someone to steel my bloody candles aren't ya?" John yelled at the door, stomping his foot. He figured it out, Wanda put a hole through his door, and then who ever replaced it found the candles he had rummaged about the mansion. He was just borrowing them that was the way he figured it.

" I didn't take your stupid candles." She told him as she lay on her bed trying to figure things out.

" But you busted up my door." John challenged.

" I was aiming for Tabby." Wanda told him, still shouting.

" Your aim needs work." He yelled out right outside her door.

" Shut up."

" No."

" Then leave." Wanda ordered her tone bitter.

" No." John answered stubbornly like a little kid; he then heard food steps stomp up to the door and before he knew it Wanda had flung the door wide open a scowl on her face.

" Why not?" She asked bitterly, John looked at her. She didn't look like her normal self, she looked dare he say it pretty cute. She had on a pair of worn red sweats that looked three sizes to big and white crew neck sweatshirt that was three sizes to big as well. It gave her this semi innocent look.

" I want an apology." John snapped back.

" Good luck." Wanda said looking up at him. John looked down at her, thinking, finally someone that I'm taller then.

" Well?" John asked tapping his foot impatiently.

" Well what?" Wanda growled out.

" I want to here it. You cost me my candles." John told her; it was then that something accrued to John. Wanda could kill him if she wanted to, using his powers too if she saw fit. But he was as good as dead now, and he was not backing down. He was angry with a lot of things and this just cracked the dam.

" Oh my God, there just candles." Wanda roared out stressing the just part, she was failing to see what the big deal was. " You stole them from all around the house. I saw you so don't deny it." Wanda exploded throwing her hands up in the air.

" I borrowed them." He corrected her, stressing the borrowed part.

" Then how are they yours?" Wanda raged out, John paused but only for a brief moment.

" Don't play mind games with me Sheila." John ordered her getting right in her face.

" Don't call me Sheila." She barked out getting right up in his face as well, both to stubborn to back down.

" I'll call ya Sheila if I want to." John told her.

" Oh no you won't." Wanda told him planting her hands firmly on her hips.

" Oh yes I will." John shot back childishly.

" Says who?" Wanda asked a smirk on her lips.

" Says me." John said pointing his thumb at his chest.

" Like I care." Wanda told him rolling her eyes.

" You asked." John reminded her.

" So." Wanda stated.

" So?" John questioned, a confused look on his face.

" Yeah, so?" Wanda repeated.

" So what?" John questioned again.

" What?" Wanda asked with a raised eyebrow.

" Huh?" John asked.

" Forget it." Wanda gave up.

" Fine." John told her.

" Fine." Wanda snapped out.

" Fine." John added for good measures.

" Oh my God." Wanda cried out in disbelief, throwing her hands up into the air. " I sound like I'm five years old." She laughed out

" Huh?" John asked now really lost. " What were we fighting about again?" He asked, completely lost.

" You wouldn't leave." Wanda told him after a moment.

" I can leave Sheila." John told her.

" Then leave." Wanda cried out, pointing to the closed door of his room.

" Fine. I will." John said marching over to his room.

" Fine."

" Fine." John said as he slammed the door to his room across the hall shut. He grabbed his lighter from his pocket and went to light a candle when he remembered why he was arguing with Wanda.

" No Sheila. Not fine." John cried out as he stormed out of his room the door slamming behind him, Wanda was just about to close her door when she heard him.

Wanda sighed. " Go away." Wanda told him as she tried to close her door.

" I want an apology." John demanded stomping his foot down.

" Do you understand the words: Go away?" Wanda asked rubbing her head; she felt a major headache coming on. And she was not the best person to be around when she wasn't in a good mood.

" Not when they are coming form someone who owes me an apology." John told her as he ran a hand through his orange hair.

" I didn't take your candles." Wanda reminded him, she was beginning to snarl and show her teeth, which wasn't a good sign.

" But you're the reason they're gone." John told her pointing an accusing finger in her direction.

" Don't point at me." She told him slapping his finger out of her face. Wanda was like a time bomb now; the wrong thing would push her off the edge.

" I'll do what I like Sheila." John told her as he pointed at her again.

" That does it." Wanda screamed out as she fired a Hex bolt right at John. The Pyromaniac barely had time to blink before he saw it come at him then the next thing John knew he was ten feet away from where she had aimed. John turned around and saw Pietro standing there.

" Pietro?" Both Wanda and John called out in amassment.

" What is wrong with you two?" Pietro asked, he had been watching them the whole time and he saw no real point to this fight.

" She started it." John yelled out pointing at Wanda, though at the same time Wanda yelled out that he had started it.

" I did not." They both yelled out again in unison. Both of them glared at each other like five-year-olds.

" Look you two why don't you to just-"

" Stay out this!" They both turned and glared at Pietro; Pietro immediately put his hand up in defense.

" Okay, okay, I'm gone. Again with the yelling." Pietro snapped out as he took off around the corner.

" Apologize." John demanded roughly as he pulled out his lighter.

" No. Leave me alone." Wanda ordered preparing a second hex bolt.

" No." John yelled out. " Here's for trying to take off my head." John yelled out as he flipped his lighter and shot a ball of fire at her.

Wanda smiled and sent the ball of fire sailing back at him; only difference was she enhanced it. Making it bigger, stronger and faster. John's eyes grew wide as he jumped out of the way. " Holy Crap." He cried out as he ducked for cover. The house shook a bit but the only thing that was damaged was the new door Logan had put in to replace the other damaged one, only this one was burnt to a crisp, same with the edges of the walls around it.

John turned his head around and looked at the damage, his body lightly shaking. " Bloody Hell Sheila. You could have killed me." John stated as he slowly stood up, dusting off his pants. John deeply took in a breath to relax himself but the smell of ash and burnt wood in the air making him let out a faint cough.

" At least I would have been left alone." Wanda told him coldly as she slammed her bedroom door shut, leaving him out there with the mess. John looked at the damage, and for a moment forgot about how he could have been killed or that she was still pissed off. The fact that she tired to, was what sent him off, they were on the same team.

" What the hell is your problem Sheila?" John demanded as he pounded on the door, all common sense leaving him.

" You are." She yelled out quite angry that he still woundn't leave her alone. Couldn't the guy take a hint Wanda thought?

" You could have killed me." John repeated.

" No I couldn't have." She told him, she was laying on the edge of her bed slightly panting. She came close though a voice told her.

" How do you know?" John yelled out, he glanced back to the wreckage then back at her door.

" I don't kill." Was her simply reply. John was a bit fazed by the answer but it made him feel a bit relaxed nonetheless. A mentally unstable girl with morals. That was weird but it was okay in his book. After all he was still alive.

" Well, that's good." Was all John could think to reply with.

" Sorry about the door." She yelled out. John smiled.

" I wanted you to apologize for the candles who gives a kangaroos ass about the door any who." John told her lightly, he could tell if she was smiling but it sounded like it when she replied.

" You're not getting one. The door that's it." Wanda told yelled out to him, John shook his head.

" Fine." John told her.

" Fine." Wanda answered him back.

" Fine."
