Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Like I always say, I really appreciate it. :) Please read and review this next chapter and the next one will be coming soon.

Instead of hearing another instruction from Logan, and without a warning from any of the other students who had been waiting for something quietly, the edges of the square Pietro and Kitty were standing on glowed white-hot causing Pietro's eyes to widen as he marveled at this sudden change. Before he could even open his mouth to ask Kitty what was going on the entire square lit up and he felt strangely weightless for a moment as they were transported to a corresponding square by an opening in the wall of the giant maze. Pietro looked around the area around where they now stood so quickly, his head became a blur because he was turning it so fast. He and Kitty were very much alone, and the steel walls loomed over the menacingly, and it seemed as if they were silently trying to entice them into the darkness contained within them.

"What the fuck was that?" Pietro asked, forgetting that he shouldn't be talking to Kitty after what she had said to him.

"Come on, we're wasting time," Kitty insisted skipping an explanation altogether, and beckoning Pietro to follow her into the maze. Pietro followed her reluctantly, muttering darkly under his breath. The corridor of the maze was eerily quiet and dark, and a gray mist was swirling around their ankles. Pietro frowned as he walked side-by-side with Kitty who seemed to be concentrating very hard, and acted as if Pietro wasn't there at all. They approached a point in their path where the corridor split into two separate directions. Pietro was just about to ask Kitty which way she thought they should go when he heard someone scream, and yelling coming from the left path.

"There's somebody down there!" Kitty said, trying to make out who it was in the distant fog.

"No shit Pryde," Pietro snapped sarcastically, before racing down the hall where the noise had come from. He skidded to a halt when he saw Rahne and Amara lying unconscious on the ground with Tabitha and Lance standing over them with looks of utmost satisfaction on their faces.

"They never knew what hit 'em," Lance said, looking over at Tabitha happily.

"Yeah, well, they don't call me 'Boom-Boom' for nothin'," she answered, crossing her arms triumphantly. Lance was the first to notice Pietro.

"Hey!" he shouted, but it was too late. Pietro had already raced back to Kitty who had only been by herself for a little over 30 seconds.

"Whoa," she gasped, taken aback by Pietro's speedy return, "Wha-…"

"Time to go," Pietro said as he heard the sound of Lance and Tabitha barreling towards them as fast as their legs could manage. Pietro scooped Kitty into his arms and raced down the hall to the right. As soon as he was sure they were well out of range of the two destructive teens, Pietro carefully put Kitty down. There was a bit of an awkward pause and Pietro could've sworn he had seen Kitty's face flush, although she seemed determined not to let him see. This puzzled Pietro. Less than an hour ago, hadn't she been the one who had screamed at him for being a self-centered ego-maniac? Pietro decided he must have been seeing things, and began to start walking again. When he didn't hear Kitty following him, he turned around and stared at her, his eyebrows raised with curiosity.

"Coming Pryde?" he asked rudely.

"Huh? Oh, of course I'm coming," Kitty replied, her eyebrows furrowing angrily and the flicker of a smile fading as quickly as the flame of an extinguished candle. They proceeded to walk down the empty corridor, and the only sound was the echoing of their footsteps. They reached another crossroads and Pietro waited for Kitty to tell him which way they should go.

"…Well?" he asked when she didn't.

"I don't know which way we should go!" she said suddenly, growing even more frustrated by the second.

"…Fine, let's got this way," he grumbled going to the path that led to the left. Kitty looked hesitant, but followed him just the same. As they walked it became apparent to Pietro that they were not alone. He had almost noticed too late, ducking as a spike aimed directly at his head cut through the air like a knife, and hitting the wall behind him with a loud clanging sound. Although it had missed Pietro's head it had managed to cut through the material of his uniform on his right shoulder.

"Kitty!" Pietro yelled, alerting her to Scott and Evan who were standing only a few feet away from them. He ran over to Kitty and picked her up yet again, running as fast as he could down the hall.

"No…" he said quietly as he came to a stop. It was a dead end and there was nowhere for them to go.

"Try running away now Maximoff!" Evan yelled as he finally caught up to them, with Scott only a few steps behind him. Pietro put Kitty down and felt his breath catch in his throat. This was it. There was no getting out of it this time.

"This ends now!" Scott said darkly as he took aim. Evan grew spikes all along his arm and all over his back. He looked the happiest he ever had in his entire life. Pietro gulped looking at Kitty for help. They had the only exit blocked off, and unless Kitty was going to use her powers to help him out of this, he didn't have much hope. Kitty looked back at him and nodded, pulling him close to the wall so they could phase through. Scott was two steps ahead of her and fired an optic blast straight at Kitty. Right before it hit her Pietro pushed her out of the way a little too hard and she slammed into the wall. She was knocked unconscious instantly and Pietro took the blast straight in the chest, propelling him into the wall behind him. It wasn't enough to knock him out, unfortunately, and Evan took the opportunity as Pietro was pushing himself to his feet to send five spikes his way. Pietro fell flat to the floor avoiding them completely. He wasn't so lucky with Scott.

"Lights out Maximoff," he said with an evil grin, shooting him again with a lot more force than the one he had shot at Kitty and Pietro slammed into the wall once again, and his head went back forcefully. The last thing he remembered before passing out was Evan's face, shining in triumph, and hearing Logan's voice yelling angrily over the intercom.
