“I don’t like this…” Wanda sighs. She’s sitting next to her brother in the back of the transport vehicle.

“Just because Stark thinks he knows these people…” she trails off. Knowing she doesn’t need to finish her thought.

“Though I suppose we could run…” she fidgets with one of her bracelets.

“What do you think?”

Pietro sat leaned forward with his elbows on his knees. His mind raced only slowing down when Wanda spoke. He glanced back at his sister, "We could run but we have no place to run to." He said with a sad smile.

And it was true, they were orphans from a country that no longer existed. Sakovia had been destroyed by Ultron. He had thought that they had a home with the Avengers yet they had shipped them away as well.

They had told the twins that needed to get a proper education. They said they needed to be with others their age. As far as Pietro was concerned though the Avengers were just like everyone else in their lives. Used them for a purpose and then tossed them out when they no longer needed them.

Sitting up Pietro put an arm around Wanda and pulled her into his side. While he hated that they were being shipped out, he knew this was their only choice right now. "I say we try this place, and if worse comes worse I can find a job easy enough."

Charles chuckles. “That’s fair.”

“You certainly try. At least where I come from. Unfortunately the humans try harder.” Nina replies as she tucks into her Icecream.

Charles frowns. “What are you saying?”

“I’m saying the divisions between your line of thinking and my Papa’s is what ends mutantkind.”

Charles pales.

“I’m saying. You fail professor.” She sneers. “Because you think some of us are too dangerous. Because a house divided against itself cannot stand.” She tosses her spoon into her bowl.

“I need some air.”

She hops down off the chair and exits through the door Marcos entered through.

When she’s gone Charles turns to Erik.

“Something isn’t right here. I can feel it.” He warns.

“She’s right though.” Marcos says taking the spoonful of Icecream Lorna offered.

“I’ve seen shit like that in Mexico. It’s already starting.” He frowns.

“Okay…” Angel turns to Pietro. “So what do you think of the school so far?” He asks. It’s clearly forced small talk and it’s clear that Angel is worried about Elysiah.

The doors open and there’s a man screaming Ellie’s name.

“You don’t have to-“

“Yes I do… I did this to him…” Ellie signs and wheels out of the elevator towards the screaming.

Jean is there outside of the room the boy is being kept in.

“Are you sure you’re feeling up to this?”

“Get them the earbuds.”

Jean sighs and puts some in for herself before handing a pair to Angel and then Pietro.

“These nullify her powers. But you’ll still be able to hear her. It’s a precaution as the room is also heavily insulated. And her power doesn’t work through tech.” Jean points to the speaker on the wall.

As she says this she turns a dial and the screaming quiets down.

There’s some one way glass and inside the room the boy is strapped down to a hospital bed. Pulling with all his might.

“He’s getting worse.” Ellie signs. “The scans?”

“We’re doing all we can.” Jean replies gently.

“I know…” Ellie replies.

Angel puts a hand on her shoulder.

Wanda sighs. “We should at least chop their hands off or something… but they would probably build robotic limbs… I suppose we’ll have to agree to disagree here… I should go find… my siblings I suppose…” as she says this she spots Nina storming out of the house.

Erik turns when Nina snaps and he looks down at Charles. He had always secretly wanted to be wrong about his line of thinking of humans. He never wanted to right, but he was always right when it came down to it.

"Lorna, go after her." He nodded his head to the Dorr, "Marcos go with her." He wanted the room alone with Charles.

Lorna looked from Charles to Erik she wanted to say something, but thought better of it. She took Marcos by the hand and led him out.

Once alone Erik's eyes softened as he lowered the fire. "Tell me what's going on in that head of your Charles." He could see the worry and hurt written in his friend's face.

"You know it would be a wonderful world if Uncle Charles' ideas to become true" Lorna started as they slowly walked behind Nina to give her time, "but how many failed futures do we have to see before he comes to terms that Erik is right?"

Pietro shrugged his shoulders, "All I have seen is the Cafeteria, my sister pushed Erik through a wall, so I haven't got to see much more. It's ok, though."

He shifted a bit knowing enough about social situations to know that the tension in the small space was thick. When the elevator opened he almost ran but hearing the scream made him grip the handles of Ellie's chair.

He had heard screams like that, he had heard it at the Hydra facility. His heart beat hard in his chest and ears but he pushed Ellie towards Jean. He took the ear plugs and quickly put them in.

Pietro didn't look into the room, there was no need to. He knew what men who screamed like that looked like.

Vision let go of a sigh, "very well Wanda." He looked up to see Nina leave but he also saw Clint, "I believe our time is up anyhow."

“I don’t think either of them are right. I think there needs to be a medium.” Marcos replies softly. He rubs the back of her hand with his thumb.

Charles frowns deeply.

“There’s something in her head. Like a drum beat…” he mutters. His eyes look far away.

“I’d like to speak with Jean about it. See if she sees what I do. And perhaps Wanda…” he drums his fingers against the arm of his chair.

“Do you still have your helmet old friend?”

Angel helps Ellie up and takes her to the door. The second the door slides open the man stops screaming. He stares at Ellie. Before glaring at Angel.

“Who is he?” There’s a tinge of darkness in his voice.

“Nobody…” Ellie replies heading in and closing the door leaning against the wall to make her way towards the bed.

“You’re hurt. Did they hurt you?” The boy asks.

“No- it’s fine. The people who hurt me are…”

“Dead?” He asks hopefully. “Anyone who harms you should-“

“Charon.” Ellie chides.

“Ellie~” he smiles.

“Are you okay?” She asks.

“Of course I am you’re here.” He purrs.

Ellie nods. “I’m sorry.”

“You have to go again.” He frowns.

“You need to sleep.” She replies. Brushing some hair off his face.

“No- you aren’t leaving me.” He growls.

“Charon.” She tries to pull away.

“His amygdala is lighting up.” Jean mutters.

“So drug him.” Raven replies emerging from the shadows.

“Again?” Jean frowns.

“Do you have a more permanent solution?” Raven sasses.

“Not one that would keep him alive.” Jean sighs.

Ellie cries out as his grip tightens.

“He’s hurting her. Sedate him now. Her mother is already in the way and I’d rather not explain a broken arm.”

Jean sighs and presses a button.

A gas floods the room and Charon starts to visibly panic. Ellie starts singing and he calms down as the gas puts both of them to sleep.

She’s laying across Charon’s chest asleep.

“I’ll take her back to her room.” Angel says.

“No. You have class. I’ve got it.” Raven replies.

Wanda sighs. “It’s never long enough…” with that though she gives him a quick peck on the cheek.

“I should go make sure all is well… I’ll well id say I’d text you. But neither of us has a phone… perhaps I can have my sister send a pigeon.” She teases.

Lorna shakes her head, "There can't be a middle Marcos. You give the humans an inch and they try and take a mile. We need our own land with our own laws, separated from the humans." She runs her free hand through her hair, "We have tried to live with them, but they have never and I mean never truly tried to live with us."

Erik's hands came to rest on the counter. He had hoped in his heart that this was all true, that something positive for him and his family was actually happening. He took a few breaths before he continued to cook. "Of course, it's in my room."

He looked back at Charles, "but I ask for just one meal with my family before we blow a hole in my happiness."

Pietro watched the interaction unsure of what was really happening. The only thing he did know is this was too much like what Hydra did to those who went crazy after their exposure to the Mind Stone.

He looked from Jean to Angel before his eyes went to Ellie and the man in the room. How could any of them be ok with this? How could they keep this man down here, and if he was dangerous how could they let Ellie go in there?

When Raven appeared he jumped, but what she said set something off in Pietro. At the Hydra facility they had gassed him when he first got his powers, when he couldn't control them. Afterwards, they did it just because they could. He would wake up with bruises and broken bones.

Fear overtook him, and he was gone. He dashed down the hall slamming into walls as he tried to turn too fast. Finding a stairwell he raced up the stairs and he slammed into the wall as he exited it onto the main floor.

He needed to find Wanda, but he couldn't calm down enough to stop his mind from racing, he couldn't focus. He continued to run slamming into things.

Vision chuckled a bit, "A messenger pigeon would be nice. But may take a long time to get from here to there." He pulled away from her slowly, "put I think emails will work just fine. From my understanding there are computers in the library here that you will be able to use."

“Well nobody’s ever really tried. Either we do nothing or we do too much.” Marcos argues.

Nina meanwhile vanishes into the thicket near the trees.

Charles reaches for his hand. “I’m sorry old friend. If I could I’d give you the world. But it’s not in my power. If I can’t control my own son. I certainly can’t help your children… perhaps Nina is right. Perhaps I am destined to fail…”

Clint passes Wanda and gives her a one armed hug. Before waving at the others.

“Come on sport. We gotta head home.” Clint says.

“Couldn’t find your brother so punch him in the arm for me alright?” He tells Wanda.

“Alright… I should go find him anyways… goodbye. Take care of eachother.” She waves.

“Will do.” Clint replies.

Clint leads the way to his car and starts it. And as they’re headed down the road. He arches a brow as white horse and its rider as they drive past.

He shakes his head.

“Course a place like this would have horses.” He mutters to Vision. “But when I ask Tony for one. That’s “not practical Barton.””

Wanda meanwhile opens her mind to her brother. And immediately regrets that decision as she’s hit with an anxiety attack.

She stands there a moment getting her grip. Before sending towards him a wave of calming energy.

The hell happened? She asks as she senses him nearing her and starts to head inside.

She notices a few butterflies flitting about as she opens the front door.

Back in the kitchen. Charles’ phone rings.

He answers it.

And after a pause of him listening he pales and drops the phone. It cracks.

“Erik get everyone inside… NOW!” He exclaims. Unusually rattled.

“JEAN!” Charles shouts.

Jean is already racing up the stairs and heading out the door.

Raven follows quickly with Ellie and looks concerned.

“Who?” She starts.

“Shadow King!” Charles barks back.

Raven turns to her son who is approaching.

“Kurt get the others to the bunker. Angel. Take her.” She hands Ellie over to Angel who is touched in the shoulder by Kurt who bamfs them away.

“Erik get Wanda. He’d want her power most… and she doesn’t have the training yet.” Raven orders.

“Get her your helmet.” She and Charles say together.

Back outside Nina resurfaces from the forest and is smiling widely. There’s a bird perched on her shoulder.

“He’s alright…” she looks almost blissful.

Marcos frowns. “Who is?”

“My David…”

Pietro felt the wave hit him but while it slowed him down it did not calm his mind. He was hyperventilating as he came to a stop, he tried to calm his breathing. When he saw the panic of the students running down the stairs he looked around.

Where are you?

He tried reaching out to her and he felt her but then it was like she was suddenly gone.

WANDA!

Logan had hopped the banister and landed on the first floor and he immediately started directing students as they rushed by him. When he saw Pietro he went over to him.

He tried to redirect him, "come on kid we have to get you down," was all he got out before Pietro was gone. Logan sent a mental out...

Pietro is a blur and looks like he is scared to death whoever is listening.

Pulling the food from the stove, Erik cursed under his breath. The anger that had rocked through him earlier had returned. He left out the back door as his helmet, and two others flew out of a top-story window. One he directed at Lorna, and the other two followed him as he lifted himself to get a view of the ground.

He spotted Wanda and descended on her. Before she entered the mansion he pushed the helmet on her head, before he resized it with his powers so it couldn't be knocked off. "Do everything as I say when I say Wanda."

Erik's voice was stern, leaving no room for argument. He pulled his helmet on, "how's your flying?"

Lorna felt the helmet before it reached her. She turned and caught it very confused. She didn't hesitate to pull it on though. She turned to look at Nina, "Who's David?"

wanda-chaos-witch

Wanda glares at Erik attempting to pull the helmet off. It doesn’t work.

“Where is Pietro? Is he safe. What’s going on?” She practically snarls.

Then she blinks.

“Why is everything so quiet?!” There’s a tinge of panic in her voice.

“I can’t feel him!” Her eyes widen with panic. “Erik where is he? Is he still?” She puts her hand in her chest.

“What is this?” She points at the helmet.

“It’s okay. A bit shakey… why?” She asks.

Your sister is safe with your father. He has a protection for her against mind readers. I’m in the kitchen Pietro. Come see me I’ll explain everything.

Charles waits for the disturbance in the air.

“Not every mind reader is a good one. We’re protecting Wanda because of all of us. She has had the least training keeping the bad ones out.” He raises his hand to his temples.

“Take me outside. Your father is on the balcony with your sister. I can tell because Nina can see them.”

Nina sighs. “I already told you. He’s a friend of mine. He helped me protected me from Sentinel services. And division one.”

“But he’s more than just your friend isn’t he?” Marcos asks.

“It’s not how it seems.” Nina replies.

Clouds roll over the horizon. And more butterflies fly out of the flower field towards Nina.

Orange monarch Butterflies.

And the man riding on horseback he seems confused.

The horse stops a bit away from the group.

“Hi…” he says suspiciously.

“David…” Nina smiles.

“You know me? Did you bring me here?” David asks.

Nina walks over to him. Infuriatingly silent.

So David looks. His head tilting to the side.

The sky turns red. And David falls to the ground holding his head.

“No. No no no no no…!” The trees near them bend and shake. And then suddenly like being in the eye of a tornado. Everything stops.

David’s eyes snap to Nina. He looks at her through his eyebrows. Looking fully demented. And then his face softens.

“Hello maly ptak.” He says in an accent that’s somewhat unfamiliar.

“David!” She runs into his arms for a hug and he kisses the top of her head.

“Yeah I’m here too…” he replies in an American accent, looking her over very intensely. “You’re okay? Where did you end up?”

“Here… with my father.” Nina replies.

“Your…? Where is he?” David straightens up. Trying to fix his hair.

“On the balcony. But this is my sister.” Nina replies, taking his arm.

“Oh! Oh Hi!” He extends his hand towards Lorna. “I’m David. David Haller.”

When Pietro heard Charles he he quickly turned and ran to the kitchen. He slammed intonthe counter and looked around. He listened to Charles nodding his head as he tried to calm down.

He didn't understand why he couldn't feel her any longer but if she was with Erik he knew Wanda was safe for now.

Slowly he took hold of Charles' chair and he pushed him outside till he could see the group at the edge of the woods.

Erik gave simple and short answers. "Pietro is fine he is with Charles. That helmet will protect you from telepaths, keep it on until told."

He raised his hands and created a magnetic field around them. With a simple gesture, he lifted them off the ground and onto one of the balconies. He made sure he could see each of his children except for Pietro.

Erik felt a ping as he looked over knowing that his place right now would be protecting Wanda. But he hated that Lorna and Nina were left exposed. He cursed not giving Nina something magnetic to wear. In the back of his mind, he prayed that if he had to pull Lorna out that she would grab Nina.

When the man on the white horse appeared Erik leaned on the railing watching carefully ready to attack if needed.

Lorna was confused beyond measure because wasn't David in another universe? Didn't he send Nina here? How was he here? How exactly did jumping universes work?

When the trees started to bend she moved protectively to Nina and threw up a shield. It wasn't as strong or big as their father's but it would be enough.

When Nina moved away from her she dropped the field and watched with a watchful eye. There was a reason why Erik had given her the helmet and she had a feeling that reason was standing right in front of her.

When David held out his hand she took it and gave him a smile, "Lorna Dane, and this hunk of man" she pointed to Marcos "Is Marcos."
