Preparations

Wanda eventually got out of the bed. The rest of the night wasn't as bad as the first part of the night. She wore her red top and black pants and she looked at the mirror seeing her hair grown to pixie style. Of the first person who greeted her was…

"Good morning sweetgums. How was your night?" Toad jumped immediately as she closed her room's door.

Fred was eating crisps and Lance was eating cornflakes. "Come, sit" Lance urged her. "Here," he offered another bowl with cornflakes. She took a full spoon of it.

"Where is Pietro?"

"Uh, he had a job to do."

"What kind?"

"He is shopping sweetie-pie, Lance doesn't pay attention to anything because of his break up with Kitty- cat." Toad said almost as fast as Pietro. Wanda looked at both of them. "All right," she said taking another spoon. Lance and Toad both looked relieved. Lance finally looked other and let the cat out of the bag.

"Pietro says we should gather our stuff because we might move out soon."

"To where?" Wanda had a fine guess about where this was going. Lance lifted his eyebrow. "Where do you think?" It was Fred's turn to talk. "You don't say…"

"To Institude, yes."

"No way!"

"Yo-yo no!

The idea wasn't that bad. She could spend more time with her father this way and considering FOH agents could come into this wrecked place any moment, the idea was logical. Completely. But this was one of the moments which she felt angry towards her father and she couldn't find the resource of this anger. Maybe it was because he didn't tell her about leaving or maybe it was because he didn't talk to her after she told him about her dreams. He had constantly ignored her. She inhaled and exhaled. For a moment she thought she would break something but she didn't.

After a few seconds Lance spoke up.

"Well I don't know about you but I am not leaving."

"Hey you were the one who ditched us for that Valley girl before."

"You have joined X-men before," Wanda asked, quite surprised by this new info. She couldn't imagine Lance following every rule of the X-men."

"It was…just… one time… anyway it won't happen again."

"Suuuureeeeee" Fred said.

Thinking all the breakups Lance had with Kitty, this one may not be last long. A crow perched itself on the tree near the boarding house watching with curious eyes.

…

Pietro passed all the students. He ran upstairs to his father's office. Yes, he had an office at Xavier Institute now.

How did that happen?

"Come in, Pietro." His father's cool voice was heard before Pietro even knocked the door. Pietro opened the and eyed the room. The office was big. Not as big as Xavier's of course. But considering Magneto was their old rival, they have given him a pretty big room.

"Nice office," Pietro said.

"It was not an easy task. But we can finally settle here. How are you and your sister doing Pietro

"I haven't told Wanda and the boys we are leaving yet. I don't think Wanda will go up against it though. Since…" Pietro searched for the right words, one part of him wanted to snap his father about this, the right word was brainwashing but he could only say "…Mastermind happened she is much adaptable to you."

Even though Pietro didn't sad the word Erik Lensherr understood what he meant. When he had been released from Apocalypse's control, the first thing he had seen was his children's faces. Wanda and Pietro were looking him in a way that they have never looked for a long time. But later Pietro had given him a meaningful look.

This isn't over.

You know what you did.

You are not off the hook yet.

"I just want to make sure Wanda is safe. Don't get wrong ideas. I am not your errand boy anymore."

"I know."

"Have you told the Professor about Hellfire and Wanda?"

"I informed him about Wanda's situation and Mastermind. But Hellfire and Shaw are my business alone."

"That guy experimented on Wanda. Their group or whatever that is might be still after her and you are not telling or asking help from anyone because of your pride" Pietro winced at every word.

"Pietro, I have a score to settle with Shaw before you and Wanda even born. If X-men and Charles knows about this, they will try to stop me and they won't be able to harsh enough to deal with Shaw and Hellfire. I will have them in my grasp Pietro, I will crush Shaw and make him regret daring to hurt my family."

That is it, thought Pietro. You haven't changed at all dad. Although Pietro wasn't upset at his father for trying to make the man who hurt Wanda pay, he knew his grudge also because of his guilt. He was also such a coward that he couldn't face the truth.

"What about Wanda's memories? Will the professor restore them?"

"No! Not instantly. According to Charles with what has been done to Wanda, it will be better for her to remember things slowly. It might be too much for her if all those memories come at one moment?"

What has been done to Wanda thought Pietro You mean what you did to her.

"What we must do is to make sure Wanda is safe and not leaving her alone while she recovers."

"I can convince her to come. But I am not making promises for the others. What makes you think X-Geeks will welcome us with open arms?"

Magneto raised his finger when Pietro said the word "X-Geeks"

"You won't call them that when you come here. I have taken insurance from Charles that you will be welcome here. I also told him about Wanda's nightmares. It is better if she gets treated by Charles."

Pietro got out of the office. For Wanda's health and safety, he could put up with the X-Gee… Men.

Now it was time to put the plan into action.

…..

Kurt was proud of himself, in each exercise he had been able to teleport more and sword exercises with Logan was giving its fruits. Once he mastered at using his swords with two hands, he was going to try using it with his tail.

"You are getting better, elf."

"Wish I could say the same Herr Logan but you are getting slower every time."

Logan smirked he was proud of his student talking back to him but he wasn't going to let him show off too much. So he prepared for a fast attack to take him down with single blow. As they almost attacked each other a scream was heard.

"Jean!"

Logan and Kurt immediately got out of the GYM and went to Danger Room.

"What is going on, Chuck?" Logan turned his face to Xavier. Professor X's eyes were on Jean and he answered "I am not sure."

Kurt was studying Professor's face. His grim expression was like he knew what was going on but he wasn't going to tell them. What could cause the secret panic in his eyes?

He whispered Tabitha who was near him. "Tabitha, what happened?"

"We were exercising, Rogue launched at her but she didn't go hard on her then she tried to lift Rogue telepathically, she lost conscious."

"You hit her too hard," Scott accused Rogue. Rogue was stupefied by this accusation.

"Ah- Ah didn't mean to…"

"It wasn't her fault," Bobby cut her off. "This was something else, before she fainted her eyes were black."

He looked at Kurt. None of the student's questions were answered. As Hank came, Jean got carried to Medical Bay. Ororo, Hank, Professor, Logan even Magneto went there and none of them made an eye contact with the students.

"There is something going on here, something bad" whispered Bobby.

"They didn't even say what was wrong with her" Rogue whispered back.

"I am sure Professor will keep everything under control."

"Dude" said Bobby "Everything is getting out of control. Jean is sick, Scott is about to lose his mind over it, Magneto literally became our teacher and Brotherhood is gonna come live with us."

On the other Kurt was thinking that Magneto being their teacher and Brotherhood might be the least of their problems.

"Brotherhood is not that bad," said Kurt. He remembered how Wanda helped him when her mother was a statue. Wanda had come across his mind several times after that. Despite the fact that Agatha's help didn't work because Rogue had pushed Mystique off the cliff, he had thought about thanking her. But he was busy with being angry with Rogue. Then Apocalypse happened. And after the defeat of Apocalypse, at the party he could have done it. But seeing her with her father whom she had tried to kill before and who sort of kidnapped her and restrained her was shocking and he didn't want to interrupt.

He wondered how she forgave her father so easily.

"No, they are just messy and they smell bad" said Tabitha then she touched her chin "well except of Wanda."

"Wanda isn't an angel either, I heard how she wiped the floor with you at the mall" said Bobby turning towards Kurt. Kurt remembered the day they were actually thinking they would beat Brotherhood without breaking a sweat. Funny.

"She isn't that bad, she just has anger issues. She is like Rogue actually," said Tabitha.

Kurt knew of anger issues. Mostly from her mother. It was a question repeating at his mind constantly. Why was her mother so full of anger? Suddenly he wondered with Magneto and Brotherhood being at Institute what would her next game be? Would she give up all that? If she did, could he forgive his mother like Wanda did?
