That just left Pietro.

"Um, Lucy come one, I'm sorry," he stammered moving behind the couch.

I just snarled in reply.

"Come on I'm your cousin," Pietro pleaded.

I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pushed him up against the wall. A snarled ripped up my throat.

Just then the door flew open. The X-men walked into the room poised to attack. I sighed before flicking my hand in their general direction. The X-men found themselves stuck to the opposite wall.

I turned my attention make to my quivering cousin.

"I'm so, so, so, so sorry Lucy really,

"Sorry doesn't cut it," I half shouted,

"But…"

I cut him off, "should I give you a list. I was eight years old Pietro, eight. I was put through that stupid Weapon X process, and then for a second time when I was eleven. I was then put through the INU, when I was thirteen. To top that of you throw me off a cliff when I was ten.'

There was a silent but visible snarl that came from Wolverine. I picked up Pietro and throw him against the wall again. I walked towards the window, waving my hand so the X-men could move again. I turned to my cousin, "I'll be back; this is not over."

Stepping outside the wind picked up and carried me away.

I flew above Bayville, for who knows how long. Eventually I landed and sat down on a bench in the local park. I buried my head in my arms. I'm such an idiot, I thought, I knew that if I mentioned my past I would choke up and run away. And that would only lead to more terrifying question; questions that I would rather not answer.

I stayed frozen in that position silently crying for an hour or two. Finally I looked up. I hadn't even noticed tat it had started snowing again. The ground was covered with a thick layer of fluffy snow.

Wiping my eyes I stood up. I walked slowly out of the park and started down the busy streets.

I walked and walked down the alleyways, with no destination in mind. I just wanted to get away. Well I should have known it wouldn't be that easy.
