Magneto shot up in bed and was panting.
'What a horrible nightmare,' he thought.
Thou he knew it wasn't nightmares. They were memories.
'Anya.'
There was a knock at the door and Pietro walked in.
"Knock knock."
"Pietro."
"Hey, Dad. How do you feel?"
"I'm fine. What happened?"
"Me and Wanda told you about our new teacher and you passed out."
"Oh yes. Anya Lehnsherr. Anya."
Magneto was going to pass out again, but Pietro shook him to keep him awake.
"Oh no you don't. You owe me some answers."
"You owe both of us answers," said Wanda, walking into the room, glaring at her father.
"Anya's our sister, isn't she," said Pietro.
"I don't-"
"Don't deny it, Father. Why else would you faint?"
Magneto sighed.
"Yes, she is."
"Why didn't you tell us we had another sibling?" asked Wanda.
"Because I thought she was dead," said Magneto.
"What happened?" asked Pietro.
"My boss was cheating of my pay and I lost my temper. I throw a crowbar at him with my powers. Then later that day, he and a few other people set my house on fire with Anya still inside. I tried to save her, but some of the villagers held me back. They didn't let me save her. She jumped out of the window."
Magneto buried his face in his hands. Pietro rubbed his back up and down to help him relax. Even thou Wanda still hated her father for locking her away when she was little, she felt a little sorry for him.
"I thought she had died. After her death, Magda and I had moved to America and her became pregnant with you two. She died at childbirth. I raised you both and tried to forget about Anya, but she's not dead. She was alive all this time."
Magneto got out of bed. "Where is she now? I need to see her. Where-?"
"Oh no you don't!" said Wanda.
"Father, she thought you were dead," said Pietro. "You can't just show up alive. Who knows what that could do to her."
"But I-"
"Let's go slow. The three of us, me, Wanda, and Anya, will get to know each other better and then eventually we'll tell her how she's our sister and you're still alive."
"But-"
"Trust him, Father," said Wanda. "Pietro's plans never failed before."
Magneto was silent until he sighed. "Alright."
"Good," said Pietro.
He and Wanda were about to leave when he turned around to face Magneto again.
"Oh, and before I forget. What kind of shopping was John supposed to do?"
"Grocery shopping. . . . Why? What did he get instead?"
"Oh, you know," said Wanda. "Matches, lighters, flame-throwers, anything that has to do with fire really."
Then they heard some screaming and yelling from the Acolytes.
"My paintings!" screamed Peter.
"Remy's trench coat!" screamed Remy.
"You little son of a bitch!" yelled Victor. "I'm gonna set YOU on fire!"
Then they heard John's high-pitched screams.
"Yeah, me and Wanda are gonna go back to the boarding house now," said Pietro. "Later, Dad."
"Do you really plan on telling Anya?" asked Wanda.
"No," said Pietro. "I don't want her to be one of father's pawns."
"Then what are going to do?"
"Nothing. We're just going to pretent that we don't know she's our older sister and hope she and Father never meet."
"That's easier said then done."
"I know."
Well? Like?
