It was a month after the Apocalypse incident; every one had gone back to
their usual (mutated) life, well not everyone.
The brotherhood had decided to split up, Lance Alvers (Avalanche) decided to stay in Bayville because he and Kitty Pride (ShadowCat) were now officially a couple. Fred Dukes (Blob) and Todd Tolensky (Toad) went off somewhere in New Jersey. Finally Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) went off somewhere saying that she needed a vacation (after what happened, who could blame her?). But what happened to Pietro?
To everyone's total surprise, he had decided to live at the mansion with his Father, Erik Lensherr (Magneto). Erik had become one of the teachers; it was a bit of a tough time for the X-men to trust him and Pietro after they had tried to wipe out the humans. But after a while they got over it.
Right now Pietro was out back in the garden, it was now dark it was a clear out, making it easier to see the stars.
Pietro wasn't in the mood for star gazing though; in fact he didn't want to do anything. He had been very quiet and a bit moody for the past week. Nobody knew what was wrong, not even himself.
His dad had braved himself and tried taking to him, but that didn't work either, although Pietro gave him an A for effort.
Pietro shook his head, he felt dizzy for some odd reason, ' what is wrong with me?' he wondered to himself. Just then he heard a rustling of the bushes.
Was it the wind? He thought but there hasn't been a single breeze. The bushes rustled again, he slowly got up as his curiosity got the better of him. He slowly crept up to the bushes, ' maybe it was a Squirrel' but they didn't make such a racket.
Finally he was at the bushes and he slowly reached for the bushes, slowly he place his hand in the bushes, and felt another hand suddenly grip his own. He cried out in surprise and leaped away but the thing still griped onto him. He had landed on his backside and shot up to his feet.
The thing was a girl.
That took him by surprise, she had long dark hair, light tanned skin, and when she looked up to him, she had dark green eyes. But her clothing was very strange; she wore leather jeans, and a leather jacket that was open to reveal a green shirt. She wore combat boots and glove that had 2 silver like cones on each glove. Her stare was what creeped him out. Then she lunged forward and popped out claws from her knuckles.
Pietro let out another cry of surprise. He managed to dodge her attack and landed on his feet again. "Hey what's your problem?" he yelled at her, but the girl just growled at him and lunged again. Pietro was getting annoyed, what the hell was with her? Then he felt something click in his head.
"Wait a minute, how can you have the same powers as Wolverine has?" the girl just snorted.
"Because I am a part of him!" she whispered so low that he could barely hear her. ' What did she mean by that?' but before he could figure that out she lunged again.
This time he wasn't so lucky!
He tried to dodge again, but she had managed to slash his arm. Screaming in pain he landed on his side.
(Meanwhile in the Mansion)
Erik was pacing in his bedroom, he felt frustrated with Pietro, he was trying to be a father to him but he just kept pushing away from him. But he knew he couldn't blame his son. After what he had done to him and his sister, he knew it would be hard for Pietro to forgive him.
"What in hell was I thinking? Trying to eliminate the humans" Erik wondered out loud to himself.
"Pondering of your choices old friend?"
Erik whirled around to face the door. He was surprised by the telepathic communication.
He waved his hand sending magnetic waves to the door. The door opened and there was Charles Xavier.
"I wish you not go into my mind Charles, I do have my own privacy or do you not trust me?" Charles just smiled. "Oh Erik I do trust you, it is your thoughts have not been kept secret, hear your mind all the way to my office." Erik blushed, "I am sorry, I am just-""worried about Pietro, yes I am too worried about him."
It didn't take a telepath to figure out what was wrong.
Just then a large scream was heard through the open window. Erik ran to the balcony to see what was going on.
"All X-men hurry outside, Pietro in being attacked!" Charles had mentally called out through the mansion.
"Pietro!" Erik whispered, going deadly white.
In about 30 seconds everyone was charging out the door in his or her uniforms.
Cyclops came running in the front and started looking around. "I don't see Pietro or the attacker any where Professor." Jean Grey floated up wards and used her mind reading powers. "He's in the back garden!" she called out. Magneto came out in his uniform along side with Wolverine, he floated up and flew to the back of the mansion. Cyclops, Jean, went after him while Nightcrawler teleported with ShadowCat and Spyke. The new recruits, Storm and Beast ran after them.
Wolverine sniffed the air. "You came back!" he whispered and ran after the others.
Pietro groaned, clutching his wounded left arm. The girl advanced on him ready to kill, "why are you doing this?" he asked, still clutching his arm. The girl stopped and looked at him with a hard expression then her mask fell. She now looked like a helpless child. "I don't know!" she whispered then she fell to her knees and began to cry. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you" she choked between sobs.
Pietro stared at her for a moment before crawling to her and wrapped his good arm around her waist. He winced at the pain and blood that was slowly streaming out of his arm. "Its alright, I forgive you don't cry." He said soothingly. Her cries lessened as she layed her head on his shoulder.
"What's your name?" He asked. Before she could answer a jet of red light came and blasted her away. She screamed in rage and leaped to her feet.
Pietro looked behind him in surprise. There were the X-men and his father, ready to defend him. Erik floated down and wrapped his arms around him. " Your safe now Pietro." But Pietro shook his head "Dad wait, she's confused, she needs help."
Wolverine leaped forward and popped his claws out. The girl shrieked and lunged forward as well.
"NO WAIT!" Pietro screamed, then he began to glow. Erik watched in awe as his aura began to pulse. Everything seemed to slow down. Then in a blinding flash of white light everything went blank, when everything cleared the girl was in wolverine's arms. She was fast asleep, her head resting on his shoulder.
Everyone was staring at Pietro who was trying to get his bearings. Erik picked his son up, cradling him with tenderness; he was still in shock from what his son had done. Pietro eyes began to droop; he was weak from blood loss.
He was ready to pass out before the girl opened her eyes and looked right at him.
"My name is X-23!" she said before the both fell unconscious.
