Wanda looked up at St. John with a smile. He had told her he was taking her somewhere different this time, a place from her past. St. John noticed Wanda smiling at him and smiled back squeezing her hand gently. So far she trusted him, accepted it when he told her Magneto was lying to her about a lot of things.
"Pyro, what exactly did he lie about?" she asked tilting her slightly making it look as if he lied she'd know.
"He lied about most stuff, Wanda, including your past. What all do you remember?'
"He used to take us to the park, and bring picnics and we rode on a merry-go-round, and he loved us, me and Pietro," she said calling all the false images to mind.
"Does he act like that kind of guy?" Wanda blinked in confusion thinking about all she knew about her father and then shook her head slightly.
"Not really, no, but he must've been different before, people can change?"
"Yeah, people can change, but Wanda, your father hasn't, he was never like you remember." Pyro parked the car he'd stolen in front of the mental asylum Wanda had lived at for most of her life. "Does this place look familar?" he asked soflty still holding Wanda's hand. Wanda looked out the window of the car and felt her breath catch in her chest. This was the place in her nightmares, it was real, but how could it be, and how could she even know it existed. Had she been here before?
"It's the building from my nightmares," Wanda answered slowly as if not quite believing what she was seeing.
"It's more than that Wanda, it's where you lived for several years. Your father had you brainwashed after Mystique helped you escape. You don't remember any of that do you?"
"No, I don't, how do I know you're not lying to me right now?" Wanda said turning around and glaring at St. John, her blue eyes glittering dangerously as the car started to shake slighlty.
"Wanda, please, I'm not lying, you're father's the one that's lying. He had Mastermind brainwash you, in the mountains, and then Todd saved you, and then he hired me to date you and make sure you're memory hadn't come back." Pyro was about to add that he no longer cared what Magneto wanted, that he had fallen in love with Wanda, but she didn't give him a chance.
"You mean, this date, was nothing but a job for you, that everything you said about loving me was a lie!" she screamed as Pyro's lighter seemed to come alive and start making firey shapes around him.
"Wanda, no, please, I meant everything I said, honest!"
"Why should I believe you?" Wanda screamed getting out of the car and using her powers to flip it upside down trapping Pyro inside as she walked off hiding the tears she was crying.
