The mall was filled with people. Pietro and Evan were in it, standing by the giant fountain.

"Okay," said Pietro. "We'll stay for about three hours. Meet me back here after the three hours. Got it?"

"Got it," said Evan.

They went their separate ways.


Evan was in the arcade, playing a race-car game.

"Hey," said a boy with blond hair and blue eyes. He looked to be eighteen. "Mind if I versed you?"

"Go ahead," said Evan. "But I'll win."

They played about ten time. Evan won four time, the other boy won six.

"Good game."

"Yeah," said Evan. "My name's Evan Daniels. Who are you?"

"I'm Bobby Drake."

"There you are, Bobby.

A girl with brown hair and hazel eyes came there way.

"Hey, Kitty," said Bobby. "Evan, this is my girlfriend Kitty Pryde."

"S'up," said Evan.

"Hi," said Kitty.

"Hey, Evan, wanna hang with us?" asked Bobby.

"Sure."


Pietro was sitting in the food court. He was drinking coffee.

He smirked when he noticed a familiar brunet man with sunglasses and a woman with red hair.

Summers and Grey,' thought Pietro.

Jean was sitting at a table and Scott went to get their food.

"Hello, Jean," said Pietro, sitting next to her.

"Pietro," said Jean. "Didn't think you'd stick around. I thought since Magneto was no longer king, you'd stay in Genosha with your sister."

"Thought I'd stay in New York for awhile. What are you doing with someone like Summers? You should be with a real man."

Jean smiled. "Know any real men?"

Pietro smirked. "I like girl who play how to get like you do."

The sound of someone clearing their throat reached Pietro's ears.

He turned around to see Scott. Behind his shades, Scott was glaring hard at Pietro.

"Stay away from my girl, Maximoff."

"Or what?" challenged Pietro. "What are you going to do about it, Summers?"

Scott reached for his shades to blast Pietro out of the food court, but Jean stopped him.

"Scott, no. Not with so many people here."

Scott lowered his hand.

"Let's go, Jean," said Scott.

Pietro smirked.
