Todd has a crush on the new girl and needs Pietro's help to win her over. This takes place after the show ends and Pietro, Todd, and Lance live with the X-Men. Fred went back to Texas and Wanda is in Europe.


Todd watched from afar as Sage, a beautiful teenage girl with black hair and blue eyes, stood talking to her friends. She was the same age as Todd. She was a Sophomore and in the same auto class and computer class as Todd.

Todd fell for her the moment he met her. When Wanda left, he was depressed, but not long after Wanda left, Sage showed up and Todd completly forgot about the witch and wanted Sage to be his.

But Todd couldn't bring himself to talk to her.

'I must like her more then I thought I did,' thought Todd. 'I could talk to Wanda, but not to Sage.'

Sage waved good bye to her friends and started walking home.

'What am I going to do?'

Then, he saw Pietro with a girl on each arm. One was a blonde with brown eyes named Era, and the other was a brunet with blue eyes named Kimberly.

'Of course! Pietro can help me!'

He walked over.

"Enjoying yourselves, ladies?" asked Pietro with a sexy voice.

"Yes," they cooed.

"Good."

"I love it when you talk like that," said Era.

"I love it when you smile like that," said Kimberly.

"I love hearing that, girls," grinned Pietro.

"Tro," said Todd.

"Yes?"

"I need to talk to you. Alone."

"Give me a sec. Sorry, girls. I need to take care of something. But don't worry. I'll get back to you both when I'm done."

They kissed his cheeks and walked away.

"What is it, Todd?" asked Pietro.

"I need help winning over Sage."

"Sage? No way. She's too smart for you. And she's part of the popular crowd. I tried to make you part of that crowd before and it didn't work."

"I'm not asking to be popular. I just was Sage to love me! Please help me!"

"Nope. Not happening."

"If you don't help, I'll tell the Professor you hang out with super heroes instead of going to club meetings after school"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh no?"

Todd started listing.

"Peter Parker, Mary Watson, Harold Osborn, Elizabeth Allan, Gwendolyne Stacy, Eugene Thompson, Randolph Robertson, Kenneth McFarlane, Sally Avril, Gloria Grant. Aren't those your friends from Queens?"

Pietro said nothing.

"Reed Richards, Susan Storm, Jonathan Storm, Benjamin Grimm. They make up the Fantastic Four, right?"

Pietro inhaled, then exhaled.

"Steven Rogers, Anthony Stark, Natalia Romanova, Thor Odinson, Henry Pym, Janet Van Dyne, Bruce Banner, T'Challa, Simon Williams, Carol Danvers, Samuel Wilson, Barbara Morse, Clinton Barton. Aren't they the Avengers?"

Pietro bit his lips.

"Matthew Murdock, Mar-Vell, Jennifer Walters, Madison Jeffries, Thomas Jones, Amelia Voght, Victor Borkowski, James Rhodes, Stephen Strange, Jessica Drew, Virginia Potts, Vision, Crystalia Amaquelin, Medusalith Amaquelin, Blackagar Boltagon, Alicia Masters, Lyja, Namor McKenzie, Norrin Radd, Alexander Power, Julie Power, Jack Power, Katherine Power, Scott Lang, Cassandra Lang, Elektra Natchios, Brian Braddock, Warren Worthington III, Roxy Washington, Barbara Stacey, Tatiana Caban, Cecilia Reyes, Deborah Fields, James Bradley, DeMarr Davis, Joshua Foley, Evangeline Whedon, Bobby Soul, Val Ventura, Joanna Cargill, Nezhno Abidemi, Paras Gavaskar, Calvin Rankin, Heather Cameron."

Pietro was getting pissed off now.

"Moira Kinross, Obax Majid, Alani Ryan, Kevin Sydney, Meggan Puceanu, Cessily Kincaid, Scott Wright, Mikhail Rasputin, Craig Hoolis, Molly Hayes, Aquaria Neptunia, Namorita Prentiss, Peter Wisdom, Kara Killgrave, Jonathan Gallo, Santo Vaccarro, Ruth Bat-Seraph, Sally Blevins, Doreen Green, Guido Carosella, Noriko Ashida, Hope Abbott, Illyana Rasputina, Klara Prast, Laynia Petrovna, Anne Ghazikhanian, Carter Ghazikhanian, David Haller, Christopher Colchiss, Richard Jones, Thomas Raymond, Thomas Corsi, Jacques Duquesne, Dane Whitman, Julia Carpenter, Benjamin Reilly, Felicia Hardy, Debra Whitman, Carlie Cooper, Sophia Sanduval, Jonothon Starsmore, Mark Raxton."

He had enough.

"Regan Wyngarde, Edward Tancredi, Hisa-"

"FINE!" roared Pietro. "I'll help you! God! I can't believe you're blackmailing me!"

"Sorry, Tro, but I'd do anything for the woman I love!" said Todd.

'This better work out,' thought Pietro, bitterly.


Sage is from the comics. She's a mutant. Her powers are Cyberpathy, Kinetic Memory (Computer Brain), Multi-Tasking, Genetic Sight, Jumpstart, Telepathy, X-Factor Sense, and Firewall. She can interface and communicate with computers, computer mainframes, and any data processors at a speed that's equal to, if not greater than, that of the computer itself, 'see' a person's genetic code, reading complex DNA sequences for latent and manifested mutations, thereby allowing her to sense mutants and, in many cases, understand how their powers work more thoroughly than they themselves do, able to selectively evolve their existing genetic traits as well as catalyze the untapped genetic potential of latent mutants, sense the presence of the mutant gene in others who are in close proximity to herself, and can protect herself against telepathic attacks.

Era and Kimberly are girls I made up.

All the people Todd listed are from the comics.

This isn't the end. This will be a two, three, or maybe more shot story.
