After landing in Bayville, Julie met Magneto, who gave her instructions for getting settled in at the Brotherhood Boarding House and school the next day. Around seven, Julie found herself in front of a large, two story Victorian house that was in serious need of repair. She knocked and voices inside argued about who would get the door.
Finally a girl her age with cropped black hair and a goth feel to her opened the door. She frowned, looking Julie over.
"Hi," Julie said. "I'm Julie Summer. Um, I'm supposed to live here?"
A blur of white appeared behind the goth girl. It solidified into a tall, lanky boy with white hair and pale complexion. He smirked while looking Julie over in a piggish manner. "Well, hello. We've been expecting you. Come right in."
Julie stepped into the foyer and was immediately horrified at the state of the inside. Wallpaper was peeling; carpeting coming up; lighting fixtures hanging by the wiring; a few holes in the stairs.
"Yeah, it's a bit of a dump, but you'll get used to it." The nearly albino kid pointed to the girl, who just stared at Julie. "This is my sister, Wanda. And I'm Pietro. The rest of the gang is in the living room. I'll show you to your room."
Pietro opened a door at the end of the hall and ushered her in. "This is your room."
Julie walked in, fearful of its state, and was surprised to see that the room was completely in tact. A full bed, a set of drawers, two bedside tables, and a closet. Perfect.
"We've never used this room before. If you want anything you'll have to buy it yourself." Pietro noticed she only carried a single suitcase. "Where's all your stuff?"
"Oh, it's in a cab outside," Julie said. "Would you mind-"
Pietro was gone in a blur and returned three seconds later with her bags.
"Thank you!" Julie said. "Well, I suppose I'll start unpacking."
And Pietro left in a blur.
A speed demon...and a cocky one at that.
Julie closed the door to her room and began unloading her things.
