Rainy Nights

X-Men Evolution 'verse

Dad pulled a trick on us. Wanda had been having problems with her powers, again. Ever since the fire where our parents, the D'Jangos (not our real dad), died, she had been having problems keeping them together. Every day it was getting worse, and it scared her.

So Dad told us we were going to go to a movie. Some crappy girly movie that Wanda wanted to watch and he figured it would be nice. But he told us that we needed to stop at one of his friend's house before we got there. So we got lollipops to suck on while we waited in the back seat.

Dad came out with his friends and they wanted to talk to Wanda. I remember that it started to rain, and she didn't want to get out of the car, but I told her that she was a wimp for being afraid of getting wet. So she got out and started to talk to the two men. I ignored them, kicking the back of the seat in front of me, wanting to just get going to the movies already because it was already dark and if I was lucky there would be those dancing video game machines I could play on. I was really good at those.

Then I heard Wanda scream. I got out of the car faster than I had ever moved before. My sister was my life, and I didn't know why she was screaming, but she was and I needed to help her.

But then I felt my body just stop. I looked up and saw Dad looking at me, and I looked down and saw that I had worn my steel tipped boots, and a pair of dog tags that I had gotten from a vending machine. That was enough for Dad to use his powers to keep me from moving.

He came over and put his hand on my shoulder. "This is for the best, Pietro." He told me softly, and I couldn't watch anymore as Wanda, wrapped in a white jacket was dragged into the building, her hair wild from her powers and the rain, and I couldn't do ANYTHING to help her.

That's why I don't like rainy nights. Because now, years later when it's dark and raining, all I hear is her screams and I can't save her.

I think...sometimes...I wish...I was your sister. You love her.

OOC: I will admit to being not the biggest fan of Evo, but this is awful sad. ((hugs)) Pietro and xslapsx Magneto.

Wanda... you can be my sister if you want to be. It's always nice to have family, and I do care about you like I would my own sister...

ooc:Evo is my secondary canon for him... I know the whole thing by heart. Though Avalanche and Nightcrawler are my favs there with Pie.

Mr. Maximoff, as kind as that is, it doesn't work that way. One cannot alter reality simply by wishing it to be so. Irony!

However, I extend to you an invitation (the same I extended to Crystal, perhaps she mentioned it). I would enjoy having you, Crystal and young Luna over for dinner. I understand you come to the area at times anyway, so next time you all meet, please come to my home. I have a lovely doll collection Luna can play with while the adults discuss matters.

Please let me know when you can come, I shall look forward to it.

OOC: Yes, I've read your bio. I don't actively dislike Evo but honestly I think I've seen maybe 2 episodes that feature Wanda. I do like Kurt and Pietro. And Scott/Rogue.

ooc: sorry took so long. Pietro is one of those muses who comes and goes on me...

You'd be surprised what one could do if they truely wished. But I understand.

No, she hasn't told me that. We don't talk as often as we should. I would love to come and bring Luna, but with Crystal's health, I'm not sure if her condition would allow her.

You just name a day and time, and I will be there for sure.

You are always welcome. I am certain your schedule is more difficult than mine so you choose the time and I will be here.

OOC: I understand :)

How about sometime this weekend? It might be short notice, but I could ask Crystal... and if she can't, I can at least see if I can get Luna for the day to visit.

Is that too much short notice?

Before Wanda answers - are you looking for a real time answer?

ooc: doesn't have to be, or she can suggest another time... I know you've got something going on with Cap, Tony and Jean...

OOC: yes...it'd probably be best if Pietro were to visit before they got to her. I was just wondering 'cause I'm normally not on at night (tonight is an exception) or the weekends (though it might change)

I'll have her answer that it's fine and then one of us can post a "Pietro appears at Wanda's door" post :)

No, it's not too short notice. We're pretty low key here...I'll look out for you...

You tell me when, and I'll be there. I'm not too far from Wundergore anyway.

Well, tomorrow morning is the open market so I could get fresh foods. If that is too soon any Thursday evening will do. I enjoy cooking and I'd like to serve the best the village has to offer.

Tomorrow is perfect. Why don't you e-mail me when you want me to come over, and I'll be there?

[You've got mail]

ooc: nice name change :)
