"Hey, hey, wake up!"
There is a tugging at my shoulder and my eyes snap open. Pietro is standing above me, practically shoving me off the bed. My vision took a second to adjust, and when it did I saw him wearing a tux. Talk about weird. They live in such a dump and yet he feels like dressing like a gentleman. He looked pissed – however – so maybe it wasn't his decision. I sit up and rub my eyes.
"What's with the fancy attire?"
He looks down at his own outfit. "I figured you should see the better side of this place. Can't have you leaving for the X-Men. They live in a Mansion, you know"
"Well, don't tell me that. Now I want to go there!" I say, jokingly. He doesn't laugh, however. I guess his humor is limited. "Whatever, the others aren't really dressing up and you don't really have anything. It's fine"
"You don't seem like the type to spontaneously dress up. Don't you dare say you're full of surprises."
"Alright, I don't need to explain myself to you. Do you want me to throw you off a cliff?"
"If I fall then I'm taking you with me"
"Is that a threat?" He asks, smiling.
"You threaten me first, I just presented the facts. I'm not that easy to kill"
"So… you're like a cockroach?" Now we're both smiling – I can't help it. His humor is back! Finally.
"Well, I am living off of you"
"Yeah but you certainly don't look like one. Hurry up and come downstairs."
He leaves. He's such a flirt. Wait – am I a flirt? Oh god, I sure hope not. Maybe I'll have to hold off the leaving. I actually like it here… even if it is a dump.
I make my way downstairs until I reach the opened door, leading to their green car. Was it going to fit all of us?
"You coming or what?"
I turn to see Lance walking towards me. "Yeah, I guess. I haven't really eaten anything good in ages"
"Yeah, the café food really sucks. I hope this place is good. Mystique said it was to welcome our new recruit. It's weird; she hasn't done this for any of us"
"Wow, she sounds like she has an angle… do you think they have chocolate?"
"You don't really seem like the type to eat a lot of junk food. You're so… skinny" Lance compliments me. Well, it was more of an observation. I never understood those girls that starved themselves or threw up on purpose. People are starving all the time, who would kill for food. I certainly would have before coming here.
"My past homes have… not provided the right things for me. I miss junk food. I demand for chocolate" We reach the car.
"Your wish is our command. Now hop in. Big day tomorrow. We're going to try to attack the X-Men. We'll tell you more later, at the restaurant" He opens the car door for me and I step in. He gets in the driver's seat and we begin to leave.
I honestly don't know who she should get with in the end - Pietro or John? Quicksilver or Pryo? The arrogant or the crazy? Seriously, I need help here, or my brain is going to overload. x_x
