VvV Revelations VvV

School, Friday, end of Homeroom; 8:40am

Jogging lightly along the corridor, Betsy bumped into several people along her path but ignored them and bounded the last couple of feet to link her arm into Warren's. Amusedly smirking, Wanda watched this and shook her head catching Lexa's eye as she did who opened her mouth and pretended to puke. Unable to resist smiling at her ex-friend's reaction, Wanda clutched at her stomach and pretended to double over in pain. Lexa laughed and turned away, unsure of what to do next.

'Should I have talked to her?' thought Wanda as the girl eyed her former friend's back whilst Lexa strolled thoughtfully away, both girls unaware they were sharing exactly the same thoughts. But then, as a boy stepped from the Principal's office, his bright hair caught Wanda's eyes and the Goth ran happily to her best friend.

"JOHNNY!" she yelled, jumping on his back for a piggyback ride. But instead of reacting as he usually would – twirling Wanda in a circle and walking off with her to class – Wanda found her feet deposited on the ground as John lightly brushed the girl off of himself. "Oh come on," Wanda laughed, "you're not still upset about what happened in PE are you?"

"…" No reply.

Deciding he probably was, Wanda changed the topic and pretended to be serious, although her amused smirk gave everything away, "besides, I should be upset with you. Sending prank calls to Betsy," Wanda imitated her mother's voice when the woman was ashamed at her stepdaughter. "You should be ashamed of yourself Mr Allerdyce, prank calls at that time of night!"

"Oh for gods sake!" shocked at John's tone of voice, Wanda took a step back, "it was a joke and it ain't none of yo' (your) business, just leave me ALONE!" he yelled.

Ignoring the curious yet amused faces of the people around, John barged through the crowds and soon Wanda lost sight of him; her eyes already unfocussed due to the welling tears in her eyes. Tears weren't forming in someone else's eyes however, and instead rage was filming over the observer's sparkling orbs. No one ever upset Wanda.

Lexa followed him.

VvVvVvV

Corridor, end of first period; 9:30am

Guiltily, John strolled to his second period, knowing he'd have to face Wanda – their timetables were practically identical…John could never avoid his best friend. Or so he thought, before a hand tugged him away from the classroom door and out of sight just as John's teacher closed the door.

"What the…"

Lexa didn't reply and instead dragged John away from the classroom and down through the corridors, pulling the boy behind a door when Mrs Darkholme appeared from her office. "Yes, I know Judith. Alright," she turned back and spoke through the door, "well I'll be leaving my office half an hour before the end of school so if you need to leave early that'll be fine."

Listening in on the conversation Lexa didn't realise until later on that this information would be useful, but her biggest concern was avoiding their Principal and so, without any hesitation she dragged the protesting John into the girl's loos. A hand clamped firmly over his mouth. As he protested, Lexa Howlett just gave the boy a glare – one that was infamous in her family. One that certainly made John shut up; "do you want to get caught?" hissed Lexa in reply to John's – now hushed – muffled protests.

And with a single glimpse outside checking that the coast was clear, Lexa bolted.

John found himself unable to answer as he was rushed out of the toilets and through the same escape Wanda and he had been trying to get through…this Lexa girl was good.

Five Minutes Later

"How much longer are ya gonna drag me for, Sheila?" Lexa had now been pulling John along with her for several minutes through the woods surrounding one end of Bayville High, and he decided to speak up but spoke too soon.

Stopping in her tracks, Lexa twirled on the spot and raised an eyebrow, "about an inch." And with this the girl pulled John a tiny bit further and then released him, smirking amusedly although the smirk failed when John claimed he'd been pulled further than an inch. "Look, boy, I'm fed up with you right now and you've put me in a bad temper so don't mess with me."

Shivers raced down John's spine at the glare he received again, "you're Wolverine's daughter royght?"

"They don't call me X-23 for nothing."

Confusedly John frowned, "you what now?"

Lexa stepped up to the teenager and gazed up at him; John Allerdyce must have been at least a foot taller than the short girl – she did take after her father after all – but then again, that was possibly why John was so scared. Even though he towered above Lexa. "You take the X from my name," slowly explained the girl as though John was thick, "and then add on the number of bruises I gave Crystal in our first fight. When I was twelve." She smirked proudly, "and you have my nickname. It's infamous around the school just like my father's," the latter comment was added as an afterthought and Lexa seemed to be proud of herself.

This girl was strange; there was a lot about her that you couldn't tell by her friends.

"You're freaky…"

"And you're a bastard; I wasn't complaining."

"Where the hell did that-"

"Come from?" raising an eyebrow as she finished the question, Lexa looked at John in disbelief, "where do you think. You reduced Wanda to tears."

Denial.

"You did."

John still gave more denial.

"Ok, so maybe not directly to tears, but they were welling in her eyes!" Lexa nodded at John's protest, "yup."

"But…"

"You yelled at her."

Frowning confusedly, John recalled the incident and then why it had happened, which caused the boy to get angry, "why is it any of your business anyway," he turned on Lexa. In reply to her shrug, John just frowned, "well then why've you brought me out here."

"Because you upset Wanda and I want to know why."

"Trouble at home." After gaining a questioning look at this, John simply shrugged himself, "oy don' wanna talk about it. Just having a bit of trouble with the place oy live…" he gave in after a truly inquisitive look. "Oy might get kicked out; not enough room and all…but um…look, oy gotta get back to school…"

Curiously, Lexa stared after him as John attempted to find his way back and – after vowing to find out some more information later from her own sources – the Prep grabbed hold of John's arm and pulled him back out of the wooded area and smirked. It was break. They'd missed the whole period: what a relief. Turning back to her companion, Lexa frowned, "well. I'll be leaving you now. I'm gonna guess you can find your way back from here."

Smirking, John linked his arm in Lexa's, "nope, looks loyke yo' gonna have to lead me back."

"Nice try Pyro." Shrugging the boy off of herself, Lexa took some spray out of her bag and poured the stuff over herself before turning on John, ignoring his protests and then popped some gum in her mouth that she chewed before blowing a massive bubble. "You didn't have to have that fag. And besides, I can't be seen with you: people will talk." She made to walk away but Lexa found her arm in a tight grip, "do you, like, mind!" exclaimed the girl, returning to her preppy ways.

"What was with the bruises?"

"What now?" frustratedly, Lexa turned back to her normal self knowing what he was talking about, but she was reluctant to talk.

John frowned, "Crystal's bruises? X-23?"

Aware of the fact John had opened up to her, Lexa felt she should return the favour but did so hesitantly. "I know…I know," she shook her head, "lets just say that you're not the only guy I've been there with…" Lexa nodded to the area the two had just come from. "Pie and me…we used to skive in year 7." Sighing, Lexa leant against a tree, "Crystal knew: we were best friends and I told her all about it. But then she started getting jealous, realised me and her crush were getting a bit too close for the girl's liking," talk of the devil, Lexa scowled at the girl mentioned as she waltzed up to Lexa's once hopeful boyfriend.

John turned, eyeing Crystal and Pietro, "oy'm gonna guess there was a rough and tumble…and she won?"

"Whatever!" Lexa snorted, "na. There was a fight in the end but I started it…and thanks to me beating the crap outta her Pietro took pity on the girl and that's how they started. But no…knew she couldn't handle me," a scowl presented the fury in Lexa's next words, "went to Darkholme about my 'disappearances in lessons'. I had an assistant watching me after that 24/7 but Pietro's name was never put forward with mine on the skiving list and I wasn't gonna do it. So darling Crystal took advantage; Pietro had lost his skive buddy and there was another one willing to replace me."

"Didn' just talk in the woods then?"

Laughing at this, Lexa shook her head, "na. Always went in lesson time so no one would ever find us. We were actually gonna go out cuz of it: we'd got close, or so I thought. That was until…I managed to lose the assistant. Managed to get a card to the toilet with the woman and slipped out whilst she was busy talking to dad just outside the door."

"Ms Monroe," John recalled remembering the event, "yo' dad got her off of it, royght?"

"Said it was his fault. And it was; he knew what Pietro and Crystal were up to, admitted following them one time after I was caught skiving. He knew I'd go to the XIETRO spot – as me and Pietro claimed it (HAHA!) – at the first opportunity, so he gave the chance to me. He knew it would hurt me," closing her eyes Lexa sighed, "but dad just wanted to prove to me what he'd been saying all along: 'Crystal will do anything for Pietro and when given the option, that scum won't refuse her offer.'" John laughed at the imitation but shut up on seeing Lexa's face. "I was stuck in class with Ms Monroe and Crystal gave Pietro the option…that scum didn't refuse."

"Went to the spot and caught them in the act right?"

"Yeh…"

"Wanda filled me in…after the fight."

"Hated that bitch Crystal forever after but I couldn't blame Pietro; he wasn't ever interested in me…he's just a player. Wish I'd listened to Wanda when she told me that when Pie and me first met. I was just too intrigued by his flirtations." Lexa frowned, "that whole group is just full of lying shit-faces. Players and the whores who'll provide entertainment." At John's question of why she hung round with them, Lexa gave an answer like it was the most obvious thing in the world before walking away. "Because I was that entertainment."

VvVvVvV

Lunchtime; 12:20pm

"Hey!"

"Hello."

Cold. That was the only word to describe the response and Wanda's present attitude. But John didn't give in; "noyce…morning?" he searched for the right word but it was in vain – Wanda just turned. "Look…Sheila…"

"Don't you Sheila me!" Anger was building.

"Luv…?"

Wanda used her warning tone, feeling herself weakening in John's desperation, "John."

Hurriedly, John explained himself without giving Wanda time to interrupt, "look, oy had a bad toyme at home yesterday and some really tough issues…oy know it don't make up for moy attitude but this mornin' oy was just trying to forget about it all and then oy was reminded. Oy just got in such a piss and oy need to apologise to Lance and Mr McCoy-"

"Mr McCoy?"

John froze, his mouth hanging open. "Oy…oy, uh…snapped at him too earlier…"

Suspicions arose, "you haven't had him today in lessons; I know your timetable back to back."

"Uh…yeh…" 'damn! Damn! DAMN!' thoughts reverberated around John's mind and then – the perfect cover-up, "oy saw him in the car park an' snapped!" John realised he hadn't quite got away with it by Wanda's scowl.

"Rogue said she saw you storming through the car park the moment you got out of your car and that you just went straight to the Principal's office."

Smirking, John knew Wanda thought she had him until he made his final point, "look Sheila, Mr McCoy told me before oy got into the car park that Darkholme wanted me to see her– he was outside doing duty." 'OH YES! BINGO!'

Finally, Wanda was caught and everything fitted. "Ok." Was all the girl said, but mentally, suspicions were firing around and she resolved that she'd find out.

Rogue's Homeroom, 12:30pm

Wanda wasn't the only one getting suspicious. Needing a break away from the house for a while – claiming the amount of kids in there was just nerve-racking, although everyone really knew it was because of the state they left it in – Raven decided to take a holiday. A short weekend one, but long enough to get Pietro excited, and Rogue thoroughly worried. Because not only would Raven be leaving, but also Rogue's adopted-step dad would – Eric decided the best way to calm his wife down was to join her and make sure the woman got no end of relaxation.

The house would be consisting of:

a geek

four Goths

and a Jock

Kurt would be fine, his social life was limited as it was and that weekend he was sleeping round Piotr's on Saturday and then staying around Amanda's on Sunday, to sleep at Fred's overnight – seeming as Fred was closest to school. That boy was certainly clever; he'd made plans and got away for the whole weekend, because even Kurt knew what was going to happen when his parents were gone.

Scowling was all Rogue could be bothered to do from her distance and she did, situated in her normal hangout by Betsy, watching her stepbrother Pietro as he chatted animatedly to his fellow jocks. Sure, there were four Goths living with him now, but Pietro knew – from occasional chats to the girls – that Betsy loved partying and Lorna often joined her, sitting in a corner quietly by herself, not particularly bothered. And that his twin sister couldn't care less by past experience as long as she was allowed friends.

It was only Rogue who was the issue, and she knew it. So when the word "PAR-TAY!" reached the Goth's ears from where she was sitting, accompanied by a little dance from Crystal, Belladonna and Jean, anger coursed through Rogue.

"What's that about a party?" questioned Betsy, looking up, but as an answer she only received Rogue's back as the Goth headed towards her dear brother, who – on spotting her – tried his best to look innocent.

Stopping with her hand on one hip and the other dangling by her side, clenched into a fist, showing a clear threatening manner, Rogue scowled when she got dogged up by Crystal who simply turned her head and laughed confidently with Belle. Being the eldest in the group, Belle decided to be the most mature, after controlling her giggles at Remy's flirtatious comments. "Can we 'elp y' Chere?"

"We can't help," replied Rogue. Her face was contorted from the effort of trying not to scream at Remy's flirtatious smirk behind Belle's back and attempting not to get too sarcastic with Belle – knowing Remy would think he got a reaction out of the Goth. "But ma brothah cahn." And with this Rogue found herself catching hold of Pietro's collar in a manner fiercer than usual whilst she dragged him away from the crowd and away from that boy who was still smirking. Now Remy was just triumphant and it was really pissing Rogue off. "Rahght. What was that about a Party, Pietro?"

A chance; Rogue gave him one to come out and admit it, but the boy was fugitive. "Party? What party?" but as the word party reached Pietro's ears, including a lot of whooping from his friends, he muttered one word in defeat. "Shit…"

"So what was that 'bout a party?" questioningly, Rogue shot him a look and knew that her dear stepbrother would have to answer. "Well?" no reply was given, "Pietro!"

"Ok! Ok…" nervously, Pietro shot a look at his crowd who were still celebrating the idea. "Look Rogue, mum's out with dad and they're hardly ever out…"

"They went out last Thursday ahn y'all had a mini-party with Remy…" Rogue ticked off the names with her fingers, "Belle…Crystal…Warren-"

Knowing that Rogue was not intending to stop any time soon meant that Pietro had to stop her, "alright! Ok so maybe I had a little-"

"Li'l!"

"Ok…a mini-party – and that's what you called it! But after this holiday mum will have used up most of her holiday and won't leave for ages. This year's been odd with her – normally she doesn't take holidays off being head-teacher, the only reason is because she trusts Wolverine now that he's deputy head." Pleadingly, Pietro played with Rogue's emotions and gave her puppy dog eyes, "please! You can invite anyone you want, including all of…them lot," nodding in the direction of Wanda and John as the two sat down in the Goth's hangout, Pietro smiled at Rogue desperately, playing on the younger brother image.

Immediately his face fell as Rogue's mouth formed the dreaded two-letter word, but a saviour came in the nick of time just before a verdict was given. "Go on luv! I haven't had a party in ages and Lorna doesn't mind them, she just sits in a corner and does shit all, so she'd be ok with it. And Wanda said yesterday she was looking for some relaxing fun and suggested an idea of a party soon!"

"…"

Rogue knew she had lost and that if everyone else was in on the plan she'd be forced into it anyway – Pietro would get the preps to come over anyway and the Jocks would force their way in.

"Fahne." It was the only answer the poor girl could give, although secretly she was growing on the idea at Betsy and Pietro's reaction – they high-fived and Betsy even hugged Rogue. "But we get our music put in ahn our friends."

"Done deal."

And to prove the seal Pietro raised his hand and, even though she was hesitant, Rogue took it. The shake finalised it all.

The party was on!

VvVvVvV

End of school, 3:00pm

Listening in relief as the bell rang out was immediately followed by a leisurely stroll to the door. Wisely, Lexa had worked out that she'd need to wait a little while yet until they put their plan into action, so taking her time was necessary and Lexa did so, following the last classmate with at least ten seconds between them.

It was five minutes past 3 when she made her way to the principal's office and, leaning against the wall, the feisty girl recalled her five-minute argument with Crystal, purely started for the purpose to waist time, which it did successfully.

It looked like Lexa wasn't the only one though when Wanda came round the corner a few minutes later. She was fuming, having started an argument with Remy for him to leave Rogue alone only for it to have swung round back in her face with an inappropriate comment on her and John. Although the argument was worth it, if not a bit frustrating, because it had wasted ten minutes.

The plan had started up earlier on, in French. With several people out of class due to illness, Wanda had been forced by Lexa to work in a pair. They both knew Ororo Monroe had done it on purpose, unlike her husband, Ororo was more observant of Lexa and knew all about the little fall out – Wanda had been upset and needed someone to talk to. Being the caring woman she was, Ororo was just there and had the situation in her hands without even having to prompt; everyone in school knew of her sweet nature.

But Wanda and Lexa both also knew about Ororo's habit of trying to solve situations in the way she thought was best. That was why everytime she got a chance, Miss Monroe would put the girls together and if Rogue was in the class, she would have received the same treatment too, a point Rogue was constantly reminded of when Wanda retorted to her teasing.

So the girls had been sat side by side and then the plan was started off when Lexa had commented on John…

VvV Flashback VvV

"So I see you and John made up huh?"

"Yup. We have, stalker."

Ignoring the insult, Lexa shook her hair over her shoulder and stared pompously at the Miss Monroe, "saw you earlier when Rogue and Pietro were talking about the party."

"Good to know. Eavesdropper."

"Don't see why, he was a bastard to you."

Wanda glanced out of the corner of her eye at Lexa, mistaking the comment as a hint that Lexa cared – although the prep did actually care – and then looked back to their teacher. "He had reason."

"I know."

"What?" Frowning, Wanda didn't turn from Ororo, both girls making it appear as though they were listening, even though every word went in one ear and out the other. "No you don't."

Lexa smirked, "do too. Told me about it."

"When?"

"Second period took him out and down to XIETRO point." This time Wanda did look at her, "no worries, nothing happened. It's just a good place to chat and he told me all about why he was angry…although there were some things he left out that I wanna know. Out of curiosity of course," covering her tracks to make it seem as though she didn't care about Wanda, Lexa made that too obvious with the hurried way she said her last words.

Wanda turned back to Miss Monroe as she felt eyes on her and waited until the teacher continued before talking again. "Sure."

"What?"

"It's really out of curiosity, huh?"

"Yes."

"Liar." Wanda smirked as Lexa questioned what she said, but the Goth knew that Lexa had really heard and simply shrugged, "nothing…So why are you telling me this then?"

Perking an eyebrow as though is was obvious, she replied; "thought you might like to know…but maybe I'll just have to sneak into your mum's office by myself."

"She'll catch you."

"She's leaving school half an hour early…"

Frowning at this news Wanda then remembered, "oh yeh…she's going on holiday! I forgot…"

"So ya gonna join me then," Lexa leant towards Wanda and whispered to her, "cuz I think that Johnny boy's holding out on something and I wanna know what it is…don't you?"

Aware that Wanda did want to know – Lexa moved away and smirked…that was why at 3:15pm, she was watching Wanda walking into the secretary's office.

VvV End of Flashback VvV

"Hey Judith, my mum said she left some stuff behind and asked me to get it for her, do you mind?" Gesturing to the door behind which lay the answers to her questions; Wanda smiled at Judith who nodded – if you worked near Raven Darkholme, you'd know who her children were. Raven's attitude was that if they were her responsibility she'd treat them that way in or out of school and so when her kids were – as they often were – sent to her office, Raven never left them have it easy. "Oh," peering back around the she had just walked through, Wanda smiled, "mum told me to tell you to leave early…says you'd forget but that I should remind you cuz you deserve to."

With these words Wanda disappeared and in not time heard the reassuring sounds of a door closing, upon which she walked to the mentioned door and opened it, whistling into the empty corridors. Before she'd even finished, Lexa appeared frowning sulkily.

"Took your time, I thought you'd forgot me," complained the Prep as she followed Wanda back into the Principal's office.

Immediately upon entering the room again, Wanda began rifling through drawers, "had to wait for Judith to leave didn't I." Lexa just nodded impatiently and got to work, joining Wanda in the search.

Stopping to admire her companion's handy-work was a wise decision from Wanda and – with a shake of her head – Wanda followed Lexa around, clearing up after the girl, closing drawers and such to make sure their presence went unnoticed. "Damn woman moved everything around…" was Wanda's conformation that something wasn't right. Lexa Howlett had a knack with finding things and knew Darkholme's room back to front, the number of times she'd been in there. Curiosity was the way with Lexa and she had a habit of sifting through things that weren't hers.

But in no time Wanda's confidence had been restored in Lexa as the girl held something high above her head with a happy cheer, "FOUND IT!" disappointment however was Wanda's reaction to the file.

'Lexa Howlett' read the label on one of the fattest files Wanda had ever laid eyes on.

The Goth frowned, "what are you doing?"

"Need to check this week's file," and with that Lexa opened the file and flipped through several chunks of pages before reaching the area she was looking for. Looked like this was a regular event with Lexa because she knew exactly how the file worked and in no time had found the page she was looking for. "Haha!" triumphantly, she crowed, "McCoy did the account! What a Beast! He always lets me off lightly and doesn't make me seem like the bad guy! 'Five minute nose bleed…' blah, blah, blah… 'By an ACCIDENTAL ball in the face!' SHE PUNCHED IT INTO MY NOSE!" Lexa scoffed. 'A small fight followed although was quickly interrupted, no harm done…'"

Closing the book, Lexa replaced it and sighed turning to Wanda, "usual account from Beast…didn't do too much, no punishment required, blah-blah-BLAH! Bo-ring!"

"Finished now?"

Scowling was Lexa's only answer but she continued her search and in a couple of seconds…the drawer was found. "Housing accounts! Here we go!" as she probed through the accounts, Lexa gave a basic description. "Contains information accounting the housing of all the individual pupils. Basic description – normally just address, telephone number, housing arrangements, who they live with. And each section has a list containing the pupil living in that desired format."

"What?"

"Example," stated Lexa, rolling her eyes, "Maximoff…Maximoff…" she scrolled down a certain list. "You're in a file of people living with families, then another file for pupils living with guardian's, like Rogue – so they don't ring up and say "is 'blah-blah's' mum there" – and then you have people living in housing facilities – i.e. pupils without anywhere to live. And then pupil's living by himself or herself because they can afford to or have moved out. But those two files are small. Haha!" she exclaimed again and passed the list over. "Senior; Maximoff…this page," and Lexa picked up the 'senior's family' file, flipping it to the necessary page.

"Wanda Maximoff…" the girl in question read out loud, skipping her brother for herself. "Mother…father…address…number…basic description."

"The description's are namely for the other files, you know, with the Guardian's it will give reasons and connections and such, including extra people you live with. Your's and Pietro's have been updated due to Betsy and Lorna moving in, Darkholme is working on Rogue's and Kurt's, that's why their files are there."

After admiring her stepbrother's/sister's files Wanda then picked up the Guardian's list and searched through it for Allerdyce – deciding they'd wasted enough time. It was time for the truth.

Lexa meanwhile picked up the file for self-housing (pupil's who live by themselves in places that they own.)

Both were blank of the name 'Allerdyce' and Wanda knew that John didn't live with parent's…he always skipped over discussing them. Yet it was Lexa who picked up the 'housing facilities' list. Described basically, as pupil's who had no family and not enough money to afford their own place so they lived off of the charity of others.

"They're refugee shelters really. These are the people who basically would live on the streets otherwise. Under 18's live there for free…when they're over 18 yet under 21 they have to pay a minor rent and could be kicked out if they can't pay…and when they reach 21…they're kicked out anyway so other's can live there. Classed as adults so they can fend for themselves."

It took a single glance at the list to confirm suspicions…the first name on the list… 'Allerdyce; John.' Wanda took one look and frowned, "so that's why Raven is always so bitchy when she talks about his home…."

"Looks like we found the reason she hates Lance…not to mention why she gives Remy grief whenever Pietro isn't around – she's so false when Pietro's near him though."

"She likes to get in our good books being our step-mum. Although with John he just bugs her because of the way he is…and she only pretends to like Remy because he's always charming her." Wanda sighed, allowing her eyes to skim over the familiar senior names on the list – the only other two there.

'Alvers and Lebeau' were both up there with 'Allerdyce.'

"But why didn't Lance tell me? And why did John never tell me…"

"Because Lance probably doesn't like to talk about things like that and John…well he thinks that you'll do a Darkholme on him and won't think he's good enough for you."

Frowning, Lexa's eyes stuck to Lebeau and she sighed, "tells you a lot about some people…especially why they never mention their pasts."
