"All I did was tear his bed apart and throw it out the window," answered Wanda to Noko. "The idiot was more concerned with his bed than the mirror shards that I threw at him!"
She sounded vaguely insulted but people could clearly see on her face that she thought that was pathetic. Looking at the mirror shards planted on the wall, she stood up and looked more closely at them. No blood. Pietro must have fainted before the shards were close enough to hit him. In a way, the bed might have saved his life.
"This thing can't be related to me," she finally concluded out loud.

"Actually, we tend to call that playing possom," Pietro whispered. In an instant, his seemingly unconscious body sprang to life, sneaking behind Wanda and holding her hands behind her, so she couldn't use her powers against him. A number of his things had already suffered horrible deaths, he wasn't about to let more bad things happen to good style.
"Now, before you try sounding all high-and-mighty," Pietro began. "Why don't you tell everyone just what you were doing peeking into my room in the first place? Sounds like you're more interested in what I do than you let on."

Noko sighed. " Thats not a way to go about a family reuinion pietro. " she said using wanda's powers to levitate him and yank him off her. " Let her cool down. Besides ..we need to get ready to pack. " she said with a smirk and held up the letter showing the trip she had won. " I assume your coming right wanda?" she said with a grin on her face and before wanda could even answer a yes or no or even possibly a "thank you for getting my ferret like brother off me" noko accepted. " Great i knew youd want to come! "

"Hey, I had a legitimate point!" snapped Pietro. "If I was caught snooping on Wanda, people would call me a pervert!"
"And this would differ from what we call you now how?" asked Noko.
"REGARDLESS! And besides, that was a nice ******** bed. And it's hard to steal beds, even with super speed. They're heavy as hell..."

"You were all upset over a STOLEN bed?! Why you--"
She grabbed his collard and threw him back into his closet. Using her powers to lock him there, she pulled a chair and sat in front of the closet door.
"For your information, brother," Wanda started with a chilly voice, "I went upstairs to know why you were screaming like a GIRL. And from what I've understood, it was for stupid reasons. As always."

"I went upstairs to know why you were screaming like a GIRL. And from what I've understood, it was for stupid reasons. As always."
" point conceded. He does scream like a girl. " she added hearing Pietro's muffled protests from the closet. " Though he screams like a four year old after falling down if you hit him in the arm hard enough. " she said with a smirk remembering the time she actually managed to punch him when she was upset." How long you leaving him in there?"

"Oh come on Wanda, look if it'll make you feel any better I'll steal you a bed too. Something nice and black and goth and dreary. I mean, Victorian! You'd love it!" he shouted, before bringing his fist to the closet door. He heard Noko ask how long Wanda would keep him trapped in there, but he didn't really feel like waiting for her to let him out. He wrapped against the door about 300 times in a second, not only cracking the door, but sending a violent and very annoying noise ringing through Wanda's ears.
Pietro poked his head out of the hole in the door. "Heeeeeere's Johnny!" he said with a smirk before hopping out. By now, most of the new members were watching the spectacle, which always seemed to make Pietro feel like he had to play to the crowd. There was that new Russian guy, the sand girl Jezebel, and the relatively quiet new girl. It dawned on him that he hadn't bothered fo find out the names of any of them. It also occurred to him that he didn't really care at the moment, as Wanda had gotten up, a look of death in her eyes.

"I will never accept a gift from you, Pietro. Never."
She walked out of the room and took the stairs. She was mid-way in it when Toad jumped in front of her.
"Come, sweety. Don't let that idiot disturb you," he told her with his cheesy smile.
A disgust look appeared on Wanda's face. The odor was so horrible she pinched her nose immediatly. "Don't you ever take a shower?"
"Me? Of course! Since I met you, I take it once a month now!"
"Toad, normal people usually take a shower every day."
"But I'm not like normal people. I'm classy."
Wanda groaned. She pushed him out of his way and walked outside to get some fresh air.

Groaning outloud she headed down the stairs as well. " Hes trying. Not sure what hes trying but you have to admit hes trying. " she said as she caught up to wanda. "its going to be an interesting time at the brotherhood house. " she mused for a moment. " Two mutants who think their princess's or goddesses, a new boy that seems really quiet." she said thinking about it all. " And pietro egging every bit of em on. Makes me almost consider going back to Xaviers. "

Pietro left soon after Wanda did. He was off searching for mattresses for his room, even though he had a whole hell of a lot more to do before his previously perfect room was returned to its original greatness. Drapes, a vanity, the proper covers and comforters to accent the carpet... it was going to be a few days before he'd get it all back into order.
However, despite Pietro's pride, Wanda would soon notice that a box fell at her feet during one of the silver streak's many runs to and from the mansion. Inside was an assortment of chocolate, including Wanda's favorite from childhood: strawberries coated in Bavarian chocolate. He was fairly sure that not even she would be able to give up a gift like that.

Ahab awoke in a daze, and came to the sobering realization that his last few memories had not been a dream. Still wrapped in the same cables binding his body, and to his horror, a few more appeared to be struck directly inside his body.
"What the hell are you doing to me you animals??" shouted the man to the mutants who held him captive.
"Heh... imagine how hard the humans would laugh if they heard a monkey say that," chucked one of them, dressed like everyone else in a dark purple uniform, along with the "M" logo that signified him as one of Magneto's Acolytes. There were at least a dozen men, women, and beings whose sex was indeterminate by casual observation. All of them were obviously scientists, though Ahab couldn't be sure which of them were there because of their gifts, and which of them were simply naturally gifted in what they were doing.
He broke out into a cold sweat as doors opened, and Magneto himself entered the room, floating a few inches above the ground. By his stance and poise, one might think he found himself too good for simple laws such as gravity.
"I must thank you, Mister Ahab, for the information you have given us," Magneto began.
"I will NEVER give you beasts ANYTHING!" shouted the indignant scientist.
"You misunderstand. My statement was in the past tense, you never had any say in the matter. You see, we have made some impressive advancements of our own. The machine you're strapped to, for instance, is meant to do for the telepath what the computer did for the human brain. Granted, it's no Charles Xavier... not yet, at least, but it still has the added benefits of combing through and sorting the necessary memories lurking in that primitive little brain of yours, and downloading them into a simple disk format. Your memories... correction... the only thing that made you useful to me, is now collected in approximately 2.7 terrabytes on our hard drive."
Ahab looked at Magneto in shock. He wasn't sure which was more terrifying. The fact that all his knowledge was now in the hands of this madman, or that he no longer had anything new to give him.
"Granted, I have mutants under my wing who could have duplicated your technology within the next two years, easily without your help, but I have never been one to delay progress when it is staring us right in the face."
"Wh...what are you going to do to me?" asked Ahab, his fear so thick it could almost be felt.
"Oh come now... despite my initial outbursts, I am no murderer. You're nothing to me, less than a gnat, and I'm hardly going to waste any more of my time on something so insignificant."
With that, a sphere descended from the ceiling, and caught Ahab as he was painfully released from his bindings and cables. The ball rolled into a nearby crevace, almost like a large drain, and deposited its contents into the wilderness just outside Magneto's compound.
"Sir?" asked one of the mutants. "This base is located right smack on Magnetic North... and it almost sounded like you were going to spare him. No man could survive for more than a few minutes out there unprotected."
Magneto smiled. "As I said before... insignificant..."

Jamie stood still for a moment. He had a new found energy. Maybe it was the adrenaline coming back. He rushed back to where the others were fighting Frost. "Do you guys need some help?" Jamie asked, looking their opponent over.
Jamie set his feet, and a full, regular size image joined their group. It was a girl, who stood at the middle of the group, before walking out to Gen. Jamie struggled to remember more, but his mind was blanking. The girl's name was Alana, and he had the look. . . but was there anything else?

Frost attempted to dodge the attacks but it was useless. She was never good at hand to hand combat and soon she found herself in a sphere of purple light from Freya's attacks.
"What is this?!" she screamed, struggling to free herself.
Regina quickly transported the pair through the shadows and to the Institute. Luckily it wasn't far and she was relatively at full strength having done nothing in the current fights.
"Hank! Ororo!!! someone!!" she cried out, collapsing under the weight of two almost fully grown people. "HELP!"

Jacen said little to Evie as they both sat in the woods. His main concern was keeping her awake until they got the proper treatment they needed. Every minute or so, he'd say something or nudge her to make sure she was still with him. Soon enough though, they had their way out; Regina, the shadowalker.
And it was only a matter of time before all three of them were back at the Institute. As they fell out of the shadows, Jacen lurched forward again onto one knee, careful not to drop his wounded friend on the ground.
"Hank! Ororo! Someone!! HELP!!!," he heard Regina yell to no one in particular. There was no one around it seemed. Odd, Jacen thought. Everytime he'd been here, the place was literally swarming with mutants.
Jacen was about to say something somewhat sarcastic, when he felt a tap on his shoulder.
"What did you do, kid? She looks like she's been fighting a bear," the man known as Wolverine said.
".....The bear was myself," Jacen said, huge overtones of guilt were highly evident in his voice, "But...there's no time for that. I know she's got a healing factor not unlike yours...and she's not healing. She needs medical attention pronto."
Wolverine looked Jacen over for a second. "She's not the only one, bub."
"CAN IT AND GET YOUR a** MOVING!!!," Jacen yelled, his anger brewing forth. Carefully, with both of the strong-willed mutants working in co-operation, Penance was handed over and was on her way to the medical facility. When Jacen felt like he could relax, he sat down against the wall, and stared at a spot on the floor. He was completely wiped out physically, and the loss of blood so far was really killing his drive to even move.
"You do need a doctor, Jacen," Regina said calmly as she walked up next to him.
"...I'll....be fine," he replied, "And....and if I'm not fine......the price I will pay...will....hopefully be enough...to atone....for....." And he passed out cold, head cradled by his knees which were crunched up to his chest.

Small box...
A smell that revives old childhood memories...
A taste that can never be forgotten...
Wanda was hidding behind a bush, eating the small chocolates she found at her feet. She was in paradise. These brought her back to good memories, memories she almost forgot because her last ten years in an asylum. She remembered the good days. When she was just a girl and her brother and father were sincere. Before everything went beyond the control of her father.
That thought didn't bring anger but sadness. She still wanted revenge but the eternal question was still there: why?
She sadly stared at the tree in front of her, lost in her thoughts. She was almost crying.
"Bwhahahaha! This, my dear, is a force field you cannot escape. And I'm about to give you a therapy," explained Freya. "A very very quick therapy."
The look on Freya's face changed. She wasn't really herself but no one in the x-men knew her well enough to notice the change. The cat agility gave her faint fangs and cat eyes. She cracked her knuckles and her whole hand glew purple.
"However, it won't be painless. Sorry."
She dug her hand through the purple bubble and grabbed Frost's forehead before sending her some kind of psychic wave that ran through her brain.
OOC: Now it is up to Ginko to decide wether or not the wave as some effect on her character and what kind of effect it has also. As far as I'm concerned, Freya did her part. smile
