Awakening
Chapter VII
By Witch-uk
A/N: Wow I'm updating. I nearly didn't, it's taken me three days to find this story. Sorry I haven't updated but I was in Germany for a month and have only been back a few days.
Thanks to:
Ham- I'll try and update the others as well but I'm finding it hard to write more with them so it may be a while yet.
Lazerwolf/Phoenix- thanks for the review it's good to see I'm getting new readers.
Enfant-terrible- I'm glad you like, although the next chapter won't be as the chapters I've recently wrote I hope you like it.
Nessie6- I'm not quite sure just yet about Crystal but Luna will be soon I promise.
Evanescence kicks ass- I'm not sure about John yet I do love him but I haven't thought of anywhere to put him other than six feet under as Amara's fiancé but that isn't for certain just yet. So you might see John.
Shadow-Spider- we all have our opinions, I like Wandurt's because their daughter is out of the Exiles so we know they reproduce well. I think Wanda deserves to be with someone like Kurt. Although I'm not against any other kind of coupling. (Well maybe Kurtty's a little.)
Caliente- I know how original Wanda wants to kill her father. I love it. Wanda's probably one of the only people who can scare him. I felt bad about Wanda shouting at Kurt too, but he always bounces back and he knows how to deal with her anger better than anyone else.
Ayu- I'm trying to write all the others in somewhere but there's so many of them. So I stick to who I know best.
Scrawler- I try to fit as many Wandurt moments in as poss. I love them too but I have a habit of starting a story based around everyone then turning out to be based around Wanda and Kurt. So I'm trying to fit more of the other characters in too. Thanks for the review I'll keep the eating dirt in mind it could become a great scene.
I enjoyed reviewing a lot today I haven't updating in ages or wrote for a while so I hope I'm not too rusty. Don't forget to review I wanna see if I'm getting better or worse at the writing thing.
HAT?" Wanda almost screamed. "You can't let that monster here!"
"Wanda Pietro is his son."
"Yeah and I'm his daughter big whoop." She continued. "I don't want him near my children and today of all days."
"Yes well." Charles sighed. "He won't cause any trouble."
"Tell me when he gets here." Wanda said walking out.
Wanda finished the last of TJ's plaits.
"There you go." Wanda said standing up. "It looks good."
Talia poked at her hair. "Yeah? Cool." noticed it had been used.
Magneto stood in the Professor's office. Charles was wearing a tux.
They had been there for the last 10 minutes talking about Pietro.
"I noticed the decorations."
"Yes, we're having a reunion." Charles said.
"Oh and is Wanda here?"
"Yes." Charles answered simply. "She'll be here soon to talk to you."
Erik almost went pale. "Talk. Wanda and I don't talk. She yells."
Charles smiled. "Yes well, she asked to be contacted when you arrived."
"Good I haven't seen her in a few years."
Wanda stood in her bedroom brushing her hair. Kurt ported behind her.
She was wearing a long red dress with a long spilt in it. The top half of it was
see-through apart from a strip of glitter covering her breasts.
Kurt froze. "You look beautiful." He said wrapping his arms around her.
Wanda turned around to face him. "Good." She said wrapping her arms loosely around his neck.
"Even after 16 years you get my attention." Kurt smiled kissing her.
~Wanda your father has arrived and is waiting. ~ Charles telepathically spoke.
Wanda broke the kiss. "My father's here."
"VHAT?" Kurt almost shouted.
"They contacted him about Pietro." Wanda paused. "I asked them to tell me when he got here."
"Why?"
"I have to speak to him." Wanda sighed.
"I vill come vith you." Kurt asked almost ordering.
"No. You have to make sure the kids get down to the party." Wanda said kissing him one last time.
"Okay." Kurt sighed hugging her.
Erik sat patiently.
Wanda walked down the hall stopping in front of the office doors. The Professor rolled out.
"I'll be out here if you need me." He said reassuring.
Wanda stepped in immediately seeing her father in full uniform.
He stood up to look at her. He was speechless not only had he seen her in 16 years but he had never seen her look so beautiful. So beautiful and so much like her mother.
"Wanda…" He smiled. "You look beautiful."
Wanda raised an eyebrow walking in. she leant against the desk in front of him.
"Lets cut the crap. You're only here because Pietro's here."
"Well yes he has been hurt."
"Since when have you cared about anybody's safety but yours?"
"Wanda I have always cared about you and your brother." He paused lowering his head. "I have hated not being able to see you grow into a beautiful woman."
Wanda glared him.
"I will stay out of your way." Erik said not wanting to cause any havoc. "I'm here for Pietro."
"And what a convenient time as well."
"Wanda I know you're annoyed at me. But can't we put our differences aside for your brother."
"Fine." Wanda snapped. "But I'm keeping an eye on you."
"Good."
Wanda went to walk out stopping by the door. "I don't want you stirring any trouble not now. I'm happy here this is my life. Don't ruin it……. again."
Erik sighed as she walked out. He never meant to hurt Wanda he loved her. She was his daughter how could he not.
Wanda entered the ballroom immediately seeing Skye run up to her.
"You look much better." Wanda said picking her youngest daughter up. "Like a Princess."
Skye smiled and kissed her mums cheek.
"Where's your dad?" She asked looking around.
Talia pointed to a particular crowd where Kurt stood talking to Piotr and Kitty.
Wanda walked over.
"Hi." Wanda smiled.
Kitty was wearing a blue strappy dress and looked very classy in it.
"I love the dress." Kitty eyed it up.
"Your is nice too." Wanda said politely.
Erik settled in a seat next to his son's bedside.
Rested his head in his hands. "This is such a mess."
"I agree." Charles said rolling in.
Erik sat up quickly turning to his friend. "I didn't see you their Charles."
"I know." Charles was quick to say then looked at the sleeping speedster.
"Do you even talk with Pietro?"
Erik raised an eyebrow. "I don't wish to discuss it."
Talia dance with Nate watching her mother carefully.
Wanda was slowly dancing with her husband her head resting against his shoulder.
"She looks sad." Talia said to Nate.
"She's probably just tired." Nate reassured. "I mean it's not everyday you see your estranged father."
"What?"
"Estranged father." Nate repeated.
"Magneto's here?"
"I thought you knew." Nate said. "He came to see Quicksilver.
"No." Talia said silently. "Will you cover for me?"
"Why?"
"I need to do something." She paused looking at him then walking off.
"She has changed so much." Erik said in an almost whisper. "I've seen Pietro grow but not Wanda."
"Wanda is happy." Charles assured him then noticed another person's presence.
"Talia you're missing the party." Charles said turning to the blue skinned girl.
She had her hair braided and was wearing a simple black dress.
"I know." She said.
Erik only gave the teenager a quick glance not making any connections.
"I was hoping to speak to Magneto." She said bravely.
This made Erik raise an eyebrow.
Charles knew what Talia wanted to do and wouldn't stop her.
"I'll leave you in peace."
Erik wasn't sure why his friend was leaving. He just assumed the teenager was curious about his country.
"You probably think I want to ask about Genosha but your wrong." Talia said bitterly. "I just came down here to say I don't think you should stay."
Erik looked at the girl with curiosity and respect. Not many people could speak to him in that manner and get away with it.
"Really?"
"Yes." Talia moved from the doorway stepping into the room. "You're upsetting a lot of people being here."
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Talia." She answered still not softening to him.
"And you thought you were the one to tell me to leave?"
"Yes."
Erik's eyebrows shot up slightly.
"Tell me child are you aware who I am?" He asked.
"I'm fully aware who you are." She snapped. "Today is meant top be a special day for my Mum she's spent months setting this party up. And now you turn up"
Erik looked at her closely. It wasn't possible wouldn't he have known if his grandchild stood before him.
"And who would you mother be?" He asked. "I mean it's quite obvious who you're father is."
"I think it's obvious who my mother is too." Talia retorted.
Erik shook his head. "I didn't even know."
Talia was slightly surprised at him being calm.
"Well now you do."
"Which I was something I didn't want him finding out." A feminine voice said from behind Talia.
TJ spun on her heel seeing her mother.
"Upstairs now!" Wanda ordered.
TJ bowed he head slightly as she walked out the room.
"So you just forgot that minor detail?" Erik asked.
"No I didn't forget. I chose not to tell you."
"Why?"
"Why?" Wanda snapped. "Why would I tell you? I hate you. I would never let you near my children."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Erik said silently.
"I'm not." Wanda retorted. "You were a pathetic excuse of a father did you seriously think I'd let you near my children after what you did to me? Your own daughter."
Erik lowered his head. "That's in the past."
"Really?" Wanda asked coldly. "It's very much the present for me. Still waking up after the nightmares from that place. Never quite sure which memory to trust."
"I'm sorry." Erik said in an almost whisper.
"Sorry?" Wanda screamed. "It's too late for that!"
Erik didn't respond he stood looking down on his angry daughter. They didn't even notice the speed demon wake.
"Just like old times." Pietro coughed.
"Pietro?" Wanda asked rushing to the side of his bed.
"Nice to see ya." He paused coughing again. "Been a while."
Erik stood feeling slightly uncomfortable.
"It's good to see you awake." Erik said.
"Yeah." He paused to look at Wanda. "What are you doing in Genosha?"
Wanda looked at her father then at her twin. "You're not in Genosha."
"I'm not?"
"No you're at the mansion."
"The mansion?" Pietro still confused of his surroundings.
"The Xavier institute." Erik answered.
"Oh. How did that happen?"
"Magma."
"What were you arguing about?" Pietro asked looking at his sister. He had missed her dearly. She had changed a lot since he had last since her.
"Nothing." Wanda was quick to say. "I'll get Hank."
She rushed out of the room to find the blue beast.
Hoped you enjoyed.
