Chapter 4 – Wait what?
The other X-men were searching the mansion and Hank was trying every track system they had. But they couldn't find their friends. Jean and Kitty both felt near tears thinking that someone maybe had hurt them. Suddenly they heard car engines and looked out the window. They saw their friends and three more leave them.
"Professor", Hank said as they entered the living room. "What happened?"
"Magneto and the Acolytes came here and kidnapped us…"
"It was all just a plan to get Pietro", Logan huffed angrily.
"What", Scott asked.
The professor explained what happened and Lance stormed off slamming his bedroom door shut.
"I'll go talk to him", Kitty offered.
"No", Logan said. "Let him be alone for the moment. I think Lance took it hardest when Pietro couldn't remember him."
"It's the same thing again yo", Todd sighed.
"What", Jean asked.
"When Pietro eh… betrayed us to Mag-"
"Stop it right there", Piotr said. "I have to interfere here Todd. Pietro had no choice than work for Magneto. He threatened to hurt Wanda and you if he didn't."
"We know Pietro told us… anyway when he left Lance went livid. He almost tore the whole house down in anger yo."
"Maybe we should talk to him", Ororo said.
"No", Logan said again. "He's not angry like that. He's upset. Don't worry he'll be fine."
"Will he", Todd asked. "Because I won't yo. Our brother doesn't remember us yo."
Some weeks later Pietro was standing at the window of his father's base ship flying around over earth. He sighed as he saw green fields pass by. He wanted to take the stupid helmet off. But his father would kill him 'cause that meant the professor could track him. He sighed again.
"Trying to clean the window mate", Pyro said and walked up to him. During the weeks that had past the pyromaniac had barley been able or allowed to come near Pietro.
"No Pyro."
"Why the heavy sighs mate? One will think you don't like it here."
"I don't and you know that John."
Pyro laughed. "Yeah I could... wait what?"
"Huh?"
"What did you call me?"
"Pyro."
"Huh I thought you said John."
"Why would I do that?"
"That's my name."
"It is?"
"Y-you don't know me then?"
"All I know that you are one of my father's Acolytes and that you're called Pyro and that your power is controlling fire."
"But how come you can't remember the friendship we had?"
"We've never had a friendship John! Stop pestering me about it!" With that Pietro stormed off angrily.
"Professor", Logan called. "Magneto is prepared to strike towards a lab in Oklahoma."
"How do you know?" Scott asked. Over the couple of weeks that had past Logan had always gotten word on where Magneto was heading and why.
"Fury", Logan explained. "He got his men and spies everywhere."
"Scott take a team and head out there. Take Lance with you", the professor ordered.
"This is impossible", Magneto yelled as he saw the X-jet. "How can they get here before us?!"
"They got two telepaths daddy", Wanda said. "Maybe the caught something when one of our men was out."
"Maybe… Pietro!"
"Yes father", Pietro hurried up.
"Keep them occupied, Wanda follow me."
"Yes daddy", she said.
Pietro smirked and took off.
"Where are they", Nightcrawler asked and suddenly felt a gust of wind run by. "Huh?"
Suddenly papers and loose objects started to twirl around them in the hallway.
"What the heck", Cyclops asked.
Avalanche narrowed his eyes and the ground started shaking and something fell behind them.
"That's not fair", Quicksilver said as he rose. "Now that's low! Logan you shouldn't have informed him about what he can do!"
"Well you little... wait what", Wolverine asked confused.
"I-said-it's-not-fair! It's-not-fair-to-lift-me-of-the-ground-with-telepathy-or-make-the-ground-shake. Now-how-would-you-like-it-if-I-had-a-huge-magnet?! Wait I have… but not here."
Everyone was confused now.
"We don't have time for this", Wolverine growled.
"Ah but time I have so much of! Living as fast as I do there isn't enough time to occupy my time I have to entertain myself. And you guys think you can stop me" he ran around and all fell to the ground as he pushed them. "Too slow what a surprise!" (Guess where these lines comes from)
"Why you little", Berserker said and fired at Pietro.
"Come on Berrie you can't hit me! I'm too fast!"
"We gotta get past him", Wolverine growled. "Jean!"
"On it!"
"Hey I said that's no fair", Pietro said dangling from the roof and the Bobby iced him in place.
"Let's go X-men", Scott yelled and everyone run. Except Avalanche, he stayed looking up at Pietro who glared back.
"What are you glaring at Rockhead?" he asked annoyed.
"You really don't remember me do you Tro?"
"How many times these past weeks do I have to tell you Lance Alvers… I don't remember you!"
"Come on Tro try it for... wait what?"
"What is it with you people and those words?"
"Pietro what did you call me?"
"Rockhead idiot."
"No after that?"
"I haven't said anything after that."
Lance stared at him. "You got some kind of second personality!"
"Now you're being ridiculous." Pietro laughed tauntingly.
"No! Before you remembered my name!"
"Yeah right I-"
"Quicksilver let's go", Magneto said as he and Wanda came towards them "Out of the way Avalanche!"
"Uh dad some help", Pietro asked and Wanda used a hex to get him loose. "Thank you sis. By Avalanche."
"So I guess you stopped them", the professor asked.
"Yes", Scott said. "And Lance has a theory."
"Really?"
"Yes", Lance said. "Pietro's mind is healing itself."
"Why do you think that?"
"Today he said my full name and Logan's name and he remembered Logan telling me that my power makes it hard for Pietro to run!"
"Really?"
"Yes", Kurt said. "Do… do you think he's getting out of it?"
"Maybe", the professor said. "Give it some more time."
Logan snorted and left the room. He went into his bedroom and took out a small paper from his drawer. It read:
"Now you got your spy Logan, I'll call-The not brainwashed Quicksilver."
"Smart kid", Logan muttered.
Above in the base Pietro was smirking to himself. Logan knew he was not brainwashed and Lance thought that he had two personalities. If now only Pyro could get a clue.
TBC Well is this ASAP enough?
