Pietro explained everything about his father's plan. To be honest, I have no idea what to do. "So you'll join the X-men and try to persuade your sister to join you and your father's side once again?" I asked. He sighed and shook his head, "No Alice, I have nothing to do with my father. After I help him take Wanda away from the X-Men, I'll make sure they never bother us again." He replied. "Why will he be bothering me?" I asked confused. "If I never accepted this mission, you'd be dead by now. He knows I'd do anything to keep you safe from harm. And I'll keep that promise." He answered holding my hands.
I sighed and looked into his bright blue eyes, "When will you join the X-Men?" I asked. "I'll join when I can find a good reason they'll believe. For now, I have to explain to the brotherhood about this." He replied standing up and preparing himself to leave. "Then why don't I join the X-Men with you?" I demanded. "No, it's too risky." He protested. "Me being there could be your reason Pietro. If I join the X-Men, there will be a good chance they'll accept me. What's even better I can get close to Wanda and help you out." I assured him
"No, I'm not letting you do this. It's too dangerous." He begged. I laughed at his concern. "Pietro, we are talking about the X-Men. Scott and Kurt are nice guys." He rolled his eyes after hearing their names, "Too nice actually." I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Please Pietro, you're doing something big for me and I want to help you in return. I won't take no for an answer." I said. "Fine, but talk to your parents about moving in with the X-Men as soon as possible. I'll have to deal with Lance and the others. For now," he kissed my forehead and smiled, "get some rest." I sat back down on my bed and waited for him to leave. "Good night Alice," he said as I smiled back at him, "Good night Pietro."
As soon as he left I went back to sleep. I may have met him yesterday, but Pietro risking his life for me gives me an exception to help him and be by his side.
