Chapter Three: Peter Maximoff
"Can you legally drive?" Lucy asked "Because it really doesn't seem like it"
"I can drive, thank you very much" Charles said as he looked at the teenager in the rear view mirror who, until Charles took a turn to sharply, had been sleeping since pulling out of the school's driveway.
"By the way you needed to turn down the road you just passed"
"You couldn't have said that earlier?" Charles said as he turned the car around
"I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't wake me up"
"Fine" Charles groaned "Hank navigate properly"
"Sorry Professor" Hank said as he attempted to read the map in a cramped seat with a terrifying man sat right next to him and with the Professors erratic driving. "Take a left here"
"Here, here, here" Logan said when he recognised the house
"Where?" Charles asked
"Just up here"
"Alright, alright"
"Next time I'm driving don't get used to it"
"Please do" Lucy sighed as Hank helped her out of the backseat before following the boy up to the front door as Logan knocked on it
"Cindi"
"I'm not staying in the car again Logan"
"It's safer"
"If you are just going to leave me in the car why bother asking for my help in the first place, it doesn't make any sense"
"What's he done now? I'll just write you a cheque for whatever he took" the woman who opened the door asked, interrupted the discussion that was slowly escalating, especially since several of the rocks on the garden were shaking.
"We just need to talk to him" Logan said, as they were let inside and headed to the basement
"Peter! The cops are here, again!" Mrs Maximoff called
"Do I look like a cop?" Lucy whispered to Hank as they walked down the stairs to the basement
"Probably as much as I do" the genius chuckled "So you know this guy?"
"No, Logan isn't very big on sharing why I'm here"
"He wants to protect you"
"Why?"
"You and he are close in the future I guess" was all Hank said before seeing a blur of silver running playing table tennis with himself
"What do you guys want? I didn't do anything" was all the guy said before disappearing and appearing on the couch "I've been here all day"
"Just relax Peter, we're not cops" Logan spoke to the teenager
"Of course you're not cops, if you were cops you wouldn't drive a rental car"
"How did you know we got a rental car?" Charles asked
"I checked your registration when you were walking through the door. I also had some time to kill so I went through your rental agreements. Saw you were from out of town, are you FBI?" Peter spoke before a silver blur zipped past the Englishman and took his wallet and took out a card "Hey, what's up with this gifted youngsters place?"
"That's an old card" Charles responded before picking up the wallet that the silver haired boy dropped
"Well he's fascinating" Hank said in awe
"He's a pain in the ass"
"I think it is very impressive" Lucy smiled as she looked at the wall of stolen goods "I've never met any who could do this before"
"What, a teleporter?" Hank asked Logan
"No, he's just fast. But when I knew him, he wasn't so young." Logan responded
"Young? You're just old" Peter said having gone back to the couch and eating a popsicle while Charles noticed that the only female in the room was a lot more fidgety than she had been previously
'I'm fine Charles, it's just I've never seen anyone so open about their powers' Lucy said in his mind 'or have such control over them'
"Powers? What powers? What are you talking about? Did you see something strange here? Nothing anybody would believe you if you told them." Peter smirked before zooming over to play on the Pong game "So who are you and what do you want?"
"We need your help Peter" Logan said
"With what?"
"Break into a highly secured facility and to get someone out."
"Prison break? That's illegal, you know."
"You don't seem to have a problem breaking the law" Lucy spoke up, gesturing to the stolen items along the wall and around the basement
"And only if you get caught" Logan threw in as Peter continued to play the game as no one
"So what's in it for me?"
"You, you kleptomaniac, get to break into the Pentagon" Charles said rubbing his forehead, as Peter turned around
"How do I know I can trust you?"
"Because we're just like you." Logan said
"Show him" Charles said as Logan raised his hand and extended his claws
"It's cool, but it's disgusting." Peter deadpanned, causing Lucy to giggle slightly as the five of them headed out and to the car, with Peter quickly giving his family a reason why he was running out with a group of strangers
"Logan's driving" Lucy said as she climbed into the backseat only to have a silver blur go past her and see Peter already sitting in the backseat "Hi"
"Hi"
"You two better not make goo-goo eyes at each other the entire ride home" Charles said as he slunk down the seat
"Not going to be a problem" Lucy sighed leaning back into the chair as Peter started to fiddle with things in the car. The drive was pretty uneventful apart from Logan and Charles snapping at Peter due to his inability to sit still, Lucy mainly stared out the window while Peter was listening to music when he wasn't annoying the others. When Logan parked the car and everyone got out staring at the building where they were going to pull a jail break
"Welcome to the Pentagon boys" Lucy smirked
