Pietro sat in a chair. Paige was messaging his neck and upper back.

"You need to calm down," said Paige. "You're stressing yourself out."

"That kid just frustrates me," growled Pietro. "He can't do anything right. I'm done being his mentor."

"Don't say that. You can't quit. If you don't help him, who will? I know it hasn't been easy, but I know you can help Evan. And I thought you never backed down from a challenge."

Pietro sighed. "Alright. The kid maybe a pain the the ass and a pathetic excuse of a mutant, but I guess I can give it one more shot. If I can't teach him, who will? Who could?"

"There you go."

Someone knocked on the door. Paige went to get it.

When she came back, she had a surprised look on her face.

"Something wrong?" asked Pietro.

"Someone's here to see you," said Paige.

Pietro went to see who it was. His eyes went wide.

"Father?"

Erik Lehnsherr, AKA Magneto, stood before him wearing normal clothing.

"Hello, Son."

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see you. May I came in?"

Pietro let him inside. The two went into the living room.

"Why are you here? Why did you left?"

"I left because I thought it was for the best. I used you your whole life and I thought you'd be better off without me."

"I choice you over my twin. I could've stayed, but I went with you."

"I know. I'm sorry. And I know saying sorry doesn't do anything, but I am sorry."

Pietro was silent for awhile.

"It doesn't matter now," said Pietro. "I'm not mad. And I was fine. I made some friends here."

"And I see you have a girlfriend as well."

Pietro smiled. "Yeah. Paige is great. She's nice and adept at the programming and operation of computers."

"Sound like an intelligent young woman."

"She is."

Erik folded his hands. "There's something else."

"What's wrong?"

"It's about a boy you know. Evan is his name, right?"

"What about Evan?"

"The M.R.D. has him."

"What!"

Pietro shot up.

"Those creeps have him!"

"Easy, Pietro."

"Dang it! The kid may be a slacker, but he doesn't deserve to rot there!"

"So what do you intend to do?"

"I'm going to save him."
