CyberTech Worlds Clash

Chapter XXII

Lily's Missing Adventure

"Darn…!"

Lily in her Laguna witchy-goddess type get-up (she still wasn't sure what it was about), cried out in frustration as she flew from New York City to the small suburban town of Bayville as she had it on good authority that The Brotherhood had convinced her new charge Wanda to help them out with some ridiculous feud with these X-Men hero types or some such nonsense.

She sighed in frustration as she landed in a nicely trimmed garden of a huge and beautiful mansion. Flying was fun without a broom as she somehow felt safer as she hadn't ever been the most confident on a flying broomstick.

Laguna looked left and right, but realised Wanda was obviously not there bothering anybody, but maybe the owner of this place knew where she would be as Lily's heard he was physic. It was still a little unnerving when she got all this lowdown on so many people other than mage with powers.

Shaking her head, Lily had to blast several defence things that popped out of the ground before they could shoot her and was quick to note as she made her way towards the home no more defences were active. How she was so out of date with the world, and she had a muggle sister. She would have to find out what jail that bitch was rotting in and crush her.

'No,' she thought with a frown. Her bitch sisters' husband. Lily doubted Petunia would have hurt her son without Vernon. Then, Lily could admit she didn't know him very well. She would have to investigate it further. It could have all been Dumbledore's doing for all anyone knew, and right then she wouldn't be able to refute it.

Lily tried to clear her head as she reached the mansion when the front doors opened to reveal a bald-headed man in a wheelchair with two girls either side of him (in their late teens). One girl had light blonde hair tied back at her waist and incredibly pale skin wearing a pair of blue shorts in the heat with a white form hugging tee shirt, and her eyes, such a beautiful and gentle shade of amber.

The other girl was surprisingly identical to the first except her eyes were an electric blue colour with a hint of mischief as she smirked, and her hair was a deep black, but short framing her pretty face perfectly. She was wearing hipsters and a cropped top showing off her toned tummy, and some sleek running shoes on her feet whereas the other girl was wearing blue pumps of some kind. Though, one thing she noticed most about the girls was their chests, not too big, but not too small, perfect, before she shook away those thoughts, but she couldn't help but admire them.

Lily's eyes scanned over the two beautiful twin girls momentarily, and before she could speak, she got a start as two slender black sleeve covered arms wrapped around her pinning her arms to her sides with strength that Lily figured could rival THE Hulk.

"Ha…! I got her Professor!" the girl cried out triumphantly as she held Lily to her chest. Her voice was mocking and triumphant, yet soft and feminine at the same time.

"Diamantina!" the man in the wheelchair called in reprimand just as Lily was about to draw up some power to get the girl off, even though the firm lovelies pushing into her back felt nice; the girl was younger than her son and daughter and she could only internally sigh at how repressed she used to be and was making up for that a bit too much.

Though, Lily smirked as she did take note of the girl's slight wince that tightened her hold a little, making Lily feel uncomfortable as she realised that this girl could snap her like a twig.

"There is no need for that!" the man continued. "She is not here to fight with us!"

The girl sighed unhappily as she let Lily go. "Don't call me that," she whined as a pretty red-haired girl moved into her view pouting, showing Lily's thoughts were wrong. The girls were not twins. They were triplets. That made Lily's heartbeat a little faster as they were all so sexy and hot, and she needed Betsy to see to her as soon as they got home.

"Call me Tina…!" she said unhappy with her name.

Lily looked the girl over. Her deep red hair was both short and long, hanging to the bottom of her neck and over her ears with long tails hanging over her shoulders and over her chest. The new girl, Tina's eyes were a forest green, and her skin tone was darker, more tanned than her sisters, giving her skin a luxurious bronze/brown look.

Tina's wardrobe choice was also different to her triplets as she wore black female combats with heavy duty belt with thick silver buckle, and a black tee shirt that was actually baggy, and a long thin black coat that hung to her knees, and to top off her clothes were small black boots.

All three girls were wearing some degree of makeup, but Lily internally sighed as she recognised the black eye-shadow Tina wore with deep red lipstick, although not overly done, did remind her a little of Wanda's Goth look. Luckily the girl didn't seem to be all Goth.

The wheelchair bound man smiled a little obviously amused as Tina had most likely had this discussion before. Lily could tell that Tina's two sisters were silently laughing as the red-haired girl finally joined them.

"Good afternoon Mrs…" The man began but trailed off for a moment in thought before continuing with a smile. "Miss. Evans… my apologies for Diamantina's," he ignored the glare she sent. "Rude behaviour; my name is Professor Charles Xavier, and you've already met Tina," he greeted smirking at said girl as if to say he did it on purpose. "And these are her sisters, Starla," he said gesturing to the blonde girl. "And Excel," he finished as he gestured the black-haired girl. "What business do you have here?"

"I'm," she sighed. "I've not even had her for a freaking week and already her no-good brother has snuck her off to do…?" she trailed off sighing in frustration, a look of worry on her face. "I'm here because I understand that Pietro's silly little group, 'The Brotherhood' are often getting into fights with your students, so I figured you might know where Wanda has gotten too?"

"I see," he replied nodding in understanding. "Well, most of my students are out right now as school is still in session, maybe I could call one of my, older students, it's his last year at High School this year before he'll be attending college; we're all quite proud-."

"I'm not," Tina interrupted.

"Yeah, me neither," Starla agreed. "We've gotten into collage too… did you make a huge fuss then? Nope. Just because we're not smart enough-."

Lily smiled and nodded her appreciation as she tried to ignore the girls. "Thank you so much," she interrupted, "that would be great. I think I'll have to get Wanda one of those portable phone things to keep in touch. I've been so worried."

"It's no big deal…"

"Professor…!" Excel interrupted in annoyance. "Umm… isn't she like… well the bad guy if she's Wanda's guardian?"

"Now, now, Excel, there is no need to be mean," he answered. "Unlike most people Magneto has left Wanda with, Lily here actually cares, so I'll call Scott to see if the Brotherhood has been bothering them."

Then the Professor was on his mobile phone and it was answered moments later. "Scott… I see… so… is Wanda with them…? Okay, where are you…"

Lily had already moved on conformation that Wanda was with them and took the phone. "Scott, right?" she demanded.

"Err, yes, who is this, where's Professor Xavier?"

"Never mind, he's fine," she replied. "Just do me a favour and give the phone to Wanda?" she demanded as she ignored the commotion coming from the other end.

"A-are you crazy…?" he asked. "While we're fighting them?" he shot back in annoyance.

"Yes…!" she demanded in reply.

Lily heard him sigh before he shouted. "WANDA! IT'S FOR YOU!"

The noise in the background seemed to cut-off for a moment when a girl's voice nervously answered the phone.

"H-hello…?"

"Wanda…!"

"Y-yes?" came the nervous reply and Lily could hear her gulp.

"You are so grounded!" she yelled angrily. "And if you are not here, at Professor Xavier's in the next ten minutes I don't care how old you are I'll put you over my lap and give you a spanking…! Do you understand me…!"

"W-what…?!" she ask-demanded in fright. "Y-you can't do that…!"

"Well why don't you take longer than ten minutes and see whether I can't?" she asked before hanging up the phone and handing it back to the Professor.

"Oh; can I watch if she's late?" asked Tina laughingly.

"Us too," Starla and Excel piped in laughing with their sister.

Lily sighed and rolled her eyes while the Professor chuckled. "Miss. Evans - would you like to come in and have a cup of tea or coffee with me while you wait? We can talk in private, as there are some things that I would love to talk to a sorceress about."

"Of course, Professor, I'll be only too happy too," she agreed as he turned to lead her in, she followed. She had never seen such a wheelchair before, one that moved by itself.

He looked to her, smiling. "This is nothing to some of the wheelchairs that your son's company has manufactured; just a custom-made job. I have pre-ordered this more… hovery wheelchair from CyberTech. It will be here within a couple of months when its finally on the market."

Lily blushed in embarrassment a little as she followed, remembering that he could read minds, and according to Magneto could pick up surface thoughts without even meaning too.

"I wonder whether she has magical spanking powers!" asked Tina laughingly to her sisters while they just rolled their eyes.

The sports field of the school was exceptionally quiet as Wanda dressed as usual hung up Scott Summers's cell phone looking pale and uncertain, she threw the phone back to him before she rushed the blue demon-like boy, grabbing at the top of his X-men uniform with a glare.

"Teleport me to Xavier's mansion now!" she demanded both in anger and… desperation. She wasn't completely sure, but something about the threat made gave her pause to believe it was no threat but real, and she would never live it down if anyone found out she was… well… she couldn't even think it.

"NO!" he replied as he disappeared in a wisp of blue smoke to reappear a few meters away looking baffled.

Wanda turned and glared at her silver haired brother in anger. "Y-you jerk…! You said Laguna wouldn't find out, and now she's at the freaking X-men's place looking for me!" she yelled before she just ran, running as fast as she could to get there in time.

"Oww…! Wanda's in trouble…!" laughed the blue boy. "I'm glad I didn't take her now; maybe she'll get grounded," he laughed more with some other younger mutants.

"Damn…!" hissed out Quicksilver in annoyance. "That's one down, and we've barely began yet…"

"And it's over NOW!" hissed an angry voice as they looked over to the nearby car park where Psylocke climbed off her motorcycle wearing a tight black form-hugging 'leotard' with rippled skirt, black coat, and had a sword on her back and high boots and a pocket belt slanted around her waist attached to the skirt.

"How dare you just come by and take Wanda out to cause trouble!" she hissed angrily as she pulled off her helmet and placed it on her black sports-bike seat as she moved closer. "You are pathetic Pietro!" she declared. "The next time you think taking Wanda out to bother people you best have Magneto's express written permission, and even then. It will be unlikely that we'll let Wanda out for such mindless bull-shit that serves only one purpose, and that is to be an arsehole!

"Plus… you idiots always loose so why bother over and over, it has no purpose, so I suggest you leave, NOW and go find something productive to do, understand!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever!" he replied while rolling his eye before he disappeared in a streak of speed – there was that new game he wanted to play anyway.

The remaining Brotherhood looked around nervously as the X-Men looked much more confident now than they had before. They all turned tail and ran before they ended up in a Super Prison – maybe even the Crater, and after their first and only breakout – security would be tenfold and they might even have super beings on staff.

Wanda was breathing heavily as she rushed into Xavier's mansion wheezing for breath as she collapsed to her knees in the entrance hall; her face red and flush as she held her painful ribs cursing the blue teleporter for being a jerk, and conveniently forgetting she was the 'baddie', and he was the 'goodie'.

"Damn, by my count she has twenty seconds to spare," said Tina laughing as she stood leaned up against a wall.

"You owe me ten bucks' sis," said Starla smugly as she hovered in front of the red head with her right hand held out as Tina sighed, handing the note over no longer looking very happy.

"Ah, but you both own ME ten bucks," said Excel as she appeared out of nowhere next to her sisters holding her hand out. "I bet you both she would make it before the ten minutes were up," she said smugly as Starla sadly gave up her 'won' ten dollars plus an extra ten from her own purse.

Wanda stood breathing heavily she glared at the three sisters angrily. "Where is she…?" she demanded while they laughed at her.

"She's in the lounge with the Professor!" said Starla smiling at the younger girl. "Follow me, Wanda, I'll lead the way," she said being the… 'Nicest?' of the triplets felt obliged to be kind to the poor girl.

"Wanda!"

Wanda was startled as she was wrapped in a warm hug by one of her guardians, Lily, and pulled up tightly into her embrace as she had entered the lounge. It surprisingly felt quite – nice? That was somehow a rather pleasant thought; like she had an actual parent? Not just an annoying father who got her into doing criminal crap that she – she would rather not do.

"Oh… damn, Wanda, Betsy and I have been so worried," Lily cried out hugging the shock girl tighter. "Don't you ever go out and not tell either me or Betsy where you're going again, and especially not with that bunch of morons.

"You are so grounded young lady!" she finished as she pulled back with a watery smile. Wanda was nearly floored that Lily was actually worried; someone actually cared about her for her and not her powers. "You are grounded for the next two weeks! And I am forbidding you from bothering Charles's students any longer, or so help you… I will carry through with that spanking! Understand?!"

Wanda gulped and nodded readily while pretending the triplets weren't behind her suppressing their snickering.

"Y-yes mum… err, I mean, ma'am!" she quickly said in a fluster and her cheeks burnt brightly and the snickering only got louder.

However, Lily smiled and leaned in and gave the girl a kiss on the cheek. "Good," Lily said unable to think much; she was afraid Amy would never call her mum again, so it was nice hearing it even if it was just nervousness from a fifteen-year-old girl getting reprimanded.

"WANDA!" called Betsy as she charged in and hugged the girl with a lingering kiss to her forehead before pulling back while Wanda's pale cheeks could no longer get hotter, and she gulped as she had to keep her watering eyes from tearing up further; she knew she would be doomed if she cried in front of anybody. "Don't you ever worry us like that again?"

It was a few minutes later Wanda thanked whatever goddess was watching out for her that she didn't cry that they were all sat in the kitchen. Lily had made Wanda a large and delicious hot chocolate drink with marshmallows in, and sat down to talk that a pretty brown haired girl walked through the wall, (Excel, Starla, and Tina already sitting at the table with their own hot chocolate and marshmallows thanks to Lily).

"Damn! Don't those idiots ever give up!" she complained as she dropped lazily into the seat next to Wanda without a thought before starting and staring with wide eyes. "W-what the heck…!" she complained in shock. "T-the supervillainess gets hot chocolate with marshmallows but I don't!"

However, she was surprised as another hot drink floated down and landed in front of her. "It's OK sweetie, I made enough for everyone," Lily said smiling at the young brown-haired girl as she looked to be around Wanda's age (fourteen/fifteen?) and Wanda could use a friend who wasn't a bad influence.

"Oh… well, thanks… oh, and by the way, I'm Kitty," she said as she took a sip of her drink. "Wow, thanks, this is really nice hot chocolate."

It was three hours later after a nice meal Lily had made for everyone that Kitty and Wanda pulled the short straws and had to wash the dishes while everyone else left for the lounge making fun of them, but to Wanda's relief it wasn't mean, which was both surprising and confusing.

Wanda couldn't help but be surprised with how much nicer the X-men were when compared to The Brotherhood. Though, some of them glared at her quite a bit, it felt more comfortable than with her usual crowd.

"So… are you joining the X-men or something?" Kitty suddenly asked looking at her curiously. "Because if you are, I hope you bring Lily with you, she's a brilliant cook!"

Wanda just rolled her eyes. "If Lily were to… join the X-men; then Betsy would too, and I would have no choice in the matter as I think that they would defy my dad without much thought… though… I guess it… it wouldn't be too bad joining you…"

Kitty smirked. "I see… well if I had a bone head brother like Pietro I would too," she said laughingly. "Though… Rogue has Kurt and she hasn't up and left yet, so who knows how these things work?!" she said shrugging and laughing as she poked Wanda's nose with her bubbly pointer finger, and laughed as Wanda sneezed.

Wanda looked at Kitty with a slightly upturned quirk of her lips, and an eyeroll, which caused them both to laugh, and for once in so long, Wanda realised she felf happy.

Wanda was laughing.

'Did I just make a friend?' Wanda asked herself as she calmed with that possible revelation. 'Did I just make friends with an X-Men?' she asked herself in wonder and worry before she shrugged as the pair got on with washing and rinsing the dishes before placing them in the dishwasher.
