OOC: Testing...

*prods*

OOC: Ok cool. First of all, though I don’t personally read the Avengers, I feel I must include this little mini-comic, as it features comic book Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Here you go. And now, on to story!

Oh Val, I’m gonna take a small creative liberty with Wanda here, just enough for her to blow something up. Its in character, I figure you won’t mind wink

IC: For the next day the siblings sped toward the Canadian border, managing to stay off the police radar for most of the trip. Everyone assumed that Magneto’s lair was somewhere in the far north, near the Magnetic North Pole where his powers would be greatest. However, Pietro had remained oddly quiet about their exact destination until this point.

Roughly three miles from the border, his lips curled into a smile, and he pointed out an inconspicuous looking building to Wanda. “Bring it to the ground sis, I’ll explain in a minute.”

With a few gestures of her hands, Wanda replaced the inner support beams of the building with an odd mix of cheerios and oil of olay. The building wobbled back and forth as if acting out some manner of surreal Escher-esque painting before collapsing on top of itself.

“That was fun and all bro, but what was the point of that?” she asked.

“Well one, that building was actually a well-disguised relay antenna for father’s copy of Cerebro. Luckily for the both of us dad never knew that I knew about it. And two, while we could have just cut the power all around it, this way a certain b***h in white leather who liked to exploit my adolescent insecurities with her mind back in the day will get a little bit of payback.”

Deep within Magneto’s Cerebro chambers, both Emma and Tessa Frost were receiving enough telepathic feedback to liquefy a normal mind, strong enough even to break through Xavier’s telepathic shields. In their case, they would have to go about four weeks before either would be able to talk again.

Back in the realm of the living, Pietro cackled like a hyena, lifting Wanda and that book she was always clutching out of the car, suddenly racing at just below mach speeds westward. The car itself plunged into the border patrol, resulting in an explosion that would keep cops busy and Magneto confused.

“Where are we going??” snapped Wanda, looking at her brother menacingly.

“Oh we were just letting father think we were heading to his now-empty lair… but now that his telepathic probes are knocked out, I figure we’d do much better to just go to him directly…”

Next stop, Nevada. By Pietro’s calculations, they were due to reach the base about an hour before Magneto and his goons would. It was a lucky break that Wanda had mentioned her intentions just a day before this latest advance by his father. After all, this was the last operation Pietro was privy to before contact was lost with his dad, and storming the lair was suicide. This was their only chance to actually catch their father off guard… it wouldn’t happen a second time.

((Thank god gaia's finally back up. . . I'd post now, but I think I'll wait for Rose to post.))

Reese leaned over to Regina. "Same gender? That bites." he whispered to her.

John stared at Noko for a while, before he answered. "I've got 3 mill." He got out of the van and walked to Noko's door, opening it. "Come on," he said, "You've got to help me pick out this stuff"

"I got it from the bank," He said as if she'd asked a stupid question. But when he took another look at her face, he knew what she was thinking. "I already told you Neko, that I didn't still it. So you can stop worrying about it. All you need to know is that the money rightfully belongs to my family. And since I'm the only one left in the family, for some stange reason, it's my money."
