Authors note: I'm really sorry about not writing for so long, like many other authors in this site, I'm afraid I had too much home work. But here is the chapter I promised.
This had to be the weirdest day in Pietro's life; the professor had a son? Now that was too strange, even for a mutant.
Erik seemed to agree with Pietro on this one!
"A SON! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME? I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE TWINS! FOR GODS SAKE IT BETTER HAD NOT SLIPPED YOUR MIND!"
Charles winced at the outburst Erik was giving him.
"Erik for the last time I didn't know about it until a few months ago, Gabrielle never told me until David was kidnapped, or pretended to be.
Erik stared at his friend for a moment before sighing and fell into a chair. This had to be the most weirdest and complicated day in his life.
"This is all my fault." Charles whispered. Erik's head jerked up. "Your fault? How can this be your fault? Your not the one who decided to go and try to kidnap Pietro."
It's my fault because I should have stopped him before, then none of this madness would me happening."
Erik closed his eyes, and a smile appeared, then laughter. "Why are you laughing? This is no time to laugh." Charles snarled. "It is a pretty good time to laugh, since I'm laughing at you." Erik choked between giggles.
Charles turned bright red, Erik noticed this and laughed harder, "I'm not going to blame you on what's happening to my son, but all you ever thought about was your dream." The White haired man finally stopped his laughing fit, but Charles was still blushing. "I mean. I think Gabrielle has every right to tell you or not to tell you about David, because you were so busy trying to make your dream come true, you wouldn't even had spend time with the boy."
"Your probably right Erik, I'm just as bad as you." Erik just glared.
"Pietro calm down it's not the end of the world!"
"Yes it is! it's the end of my world! If this Legion guy gets me were all in trouble, I got to learn to control these powers!"
Everyone watched Pietro in the Danger room trying to get past level 4 in the 'Danger Games' as the X-me dubbed them. Level 4 was the hardest level anyone who can get to. To Pietro it was easy as pie considering his powers, the trouble was, and he couldn't control them very well.
Quicksilver dodged another blast of lasers and he struggled to get to the finish line, juggling his super speed and these new powers were very hard.
"ARRGH!" he got caught in a blaze of flames, the flames were coming from a robot version of Pyro who was trying to stop him. "Your just a loser Pietro!"
"NO, NO, NO!" he yelled as he struggled, but a robot Colossus caught him. "Weak, and pathetic Pietro" "Stop it! Stop it!"
"Pietro what's the matter with you?" before he could say anything, a large robot grabbed Pietro by the waste and threw him at the other wall, knocking him out.
Everything was hazy; the only thing that Pietro could see was something shinning up at the wall.
He squinted his eyes so he could make out the image he was trying to see, which was Sarah.
"Hey, how are you feeling?"
"Like someone hit me one the head with a hammer." What happened?"
Sarah giggled, "one of the robots hit you on the head with a hammer." Pietro stared. "Just kidding, the robot threw you against the wall, knocking you out. It kind of took a while to get you out of their because of the mess you made."
Pietro sighed and leaned against his bed. " I really need a vacation."
"You sure do!"
Pietro looked at the door to see his father standing with a sorrowful expression on his face.
"Sarah could you please excuse us for a minute? I need to talk to my son."
She shrugged and left
Erik walked up and sat down on the bed.
"Pietro, listen please I know your felling frustrated with your new gifts, but that doesn't mean you have to push yourself over your limits."
The young mutant didn't answer, he suddenly felt ashamed.
"Pietro please look at me." No response.
Erik fingers curved around his son's chin and gently raised his head up.
"I'm sorry that I made you feel like a failure, I never meant too, it was Magneto talking to you, not your father, and right now I think it's time that I should let that out more."
Erik smiled, but Pietro pushed away and curled into a ball, the smile faded.
"Talk to me, please!" Pietro head snapped up
"Why? So everyone can risk their lives for me? I'm sick of it! Mother wouldn't have let this happen to me, you had no power over what happened to me, Wanda always was on my case, I'm sick of everyone think I'm weak and pathetic!"
"Pietro, Magda would-"
"I'm not talking about that cow! She's not my mother!"
They stared at each other, none of them daring to move, what was Pietro talking about?
Finally Erik sighed, "Alright Pietro, when did you find out?"
Pietro shifted uncomfortably, "I kind of always knew, Magda and me never looked alike, and she always hated me, called me a freak, I know that Wanda isn't my sister because she never gave her a hard time."
"Your right, Magda and I married shortly after I left Poland. Her husband Djano had died from illness, leaving her with Wanda, I felt sorry for her and took her in, but I realized later what a witch she was, and divorced."
Pietro couldn't take it anymore, he burst into tears. Erik looked shocked, but calmed down and wrapped his arms around his son.
"Shh don't cry baby, none of this is your fault, this was mine."
It seemed like a eternity, but finally Pietro's sobs ceased. He looked up with sober eyes.
"Could you tell me who my mother was?"
Erik smiled, "your mother's name was Raven of Azurath."
Can you figure out who he's talking about? If you know review me and I'll let out a hint on the next chapter 'parental bonding'. Just to let you know, the next chapter might take a while, but if at least five of my honorable reviewers answer correctly, I'll put it in as an authors note, so good luck!
