Well, I was going to put up a disclaimer, but you see…. Sabertooth got a hold of it. So any way here is the next chapter.

He knew how hard it was. Every year he would lock himself up in his office and refused to do anything. Here in his base, Magneto contemplated. Nothing was as hard as this. He knew that Anya had a hard time, but he had the hardest time. Magda was his wife. He had loved her with all of his heart. After the funeral, he stopped showing emotion around his children; and because he did that they rarely spoke to him now. Now a days, whenever he needed to tell them something, he would have one of the people who worked with him tell them.

After along time, he decided that it was time that he gotten in contact with Anya. He wanted her to do something for him, and he knew that she would do it. What was he going to do? For all that he knew she wasn't even in town anymore. He knew that she came, because Pietro told him; but she never stayed for more than a few days.

"Gambit," he yelled out into the hall.

"Yes," replied Gambit.

"I need you to find someone for me," he said while taking a picture out of his pocket. It was the most recent picture that he had of her.

"And who would this very pretty person be."

"Her name is Anya," he said handing over the picture. "If and when you find her, tell her that I need to speak to her."

"Do you mean that it is going to be hard to find her?"

"Yes, that is exactly what I mean."

"Alright, I'll be back."

After that Gambit left, and Magneto went back into his office. If anyone could find her it would be Gambit. He had a thing for finding women. But there was potential danger; Magneto knew that Anya had a tendency to get violent. He found that out after the funeral. She tended to set things on fire, and she refused to do anything anyone told her. Although, when Charles Xavier had asked her a question apparently she would answer him, but only telepathically. She refused to speak to anyone.

'Where are you Anya?' he asked himself.

Then he remembered. He remembered about one of her powers. She was able to hear anyone that was calling out for her. At least that is what he knew about that power. There was a lot more to it than that. She could hear anyone, even people that weren't even on this plane. When she was a child, she mentioned that she could hear someone asking for freedom.

Days, weeks, and possibly months could pass before Magneto would hear from Anya. She came when and if she wanted. It always had to be convenient for her. He knew that it would take awhile, but he would eventually teach her not to do that. Why it was taking so long for her to learn, he didn't know. At first he thought that it was because she was a teenager, but when the finally became and adult, the problem persisted.

'Why does she do this?" he asked himself.

Just then, as if on cue, the phone rang. He answered it hoping it was Anya, but it wasn't.

"Hello," he said.

"Hey dad," said Pietro on the other line.

"What do you want?"

Well… Wanda is trying to kill me again."

"What did you do, Pietro?"

"Nothing, I just said that she would look good if she grew out her hair. And then she went ballistic."

Suddenly Wanda came on the line, and she seemed pretty angry.

"Dad," she said. "Can you please tell my brother to leave me alone?" she asked.

Not wanting to hear any more of their squabbling, he thought up the only thing that he could.

"I have a job for the two of you." He said.

Then he told them what he wanted and abruptly hung up the phone. It wasn't how he wanted to find their sister, but gambit had already failed.

"Oh man," said Wanda. "Why doesn't he go and look for her himself?"

"It's not his fault," said Pietro.

"I know that, but it's not like we are going to find her anyway."

"True, but he obviously couldn't so he wants us to try."

"He does this every time, when he can't find her."

After that they both walked down the stairs, and out the door. The searched everywhere they this that she would go, but they couldn't find her. So, not wanting to be in trouble, they decided to wait a few weeks to see what would happen. Hopefully she would come into town.
