“You are probably right about that. I do try not to dwell on it too much.” Though Wanda missed her mother and father every day still, most of the time she didn’t think about it this much. Still, it was hard to keep it out of her mind now that all these revelations kept coming about. She had to grapple with the fact that either her parents had been as ignorant as she had been or that they had been lying to her as a child and she was not sure which option was any better than the other.

A small smile found it’s way to Wanda’s lips the more Lorna talked. It sounded familiar enough to her that she could appreciate it, even if Wanda’s relationship with science was not always straightforward. “Are you a scientist, Lorna?” She asked curiously. “The way you approach that reminds me of how some friends of mine talk. Which, I suppose, means I can’t really argue with it too much.”

“Good, I’m glad.” Kind of awkward, but that seemed to be the running theme when talking to her maybe-half-sister. Which Lorna supposed made sense, considering the circumstances.

“Yeah, actually. I’m a geophysicist. Masters degree. Go Lobos!” She gave a little half-hearted fist pump with the old chant. It felt like so long ago since she and Alex-

Well, not that it mattered now. What had happened, had happened. New life, new lorna. No more New Mexico.

“Are these your Avenger friends? I know you have some really, science oriented members there.”

Rogue: Not so far as I know, but I’m hardly an expert.

Rogue: Several months ago now I guess. At least, that’s when we first noticed. Seems it’s been going on underground a lot longer.

Lorna: Maybe Erik would know? He’s been around for a while.

Lorna: Have we spoken to the Morlock’s? If it’s been going on underground then they might have some more leads. At least something we can link back to what this girl’s telling us.

Rogue: I’m not sure. All she told me was that they were using the mutant DNA to make it.

Rogue: Also…some of them were originally from Genosha. Before your father took it over…

Lorna: That’s, weird. Has mutant DNA ever been used like that before?

Lorna: Sadly that isn’t that surprising. Genosha wasn’t exactly the most mutant-friendly place in the world. But that means they’ve had them for a while. Around when did mutants start notably going missing?

“It’s alright. Believe me, we hear that sentiment a lot when the topic comes up.” Wanda gave a small shrug. “It’s been so long, honestly. It still hurts and we still miss them, but truthfully I have spent more years without them now than I had with them.” More years on the run, more years where she had been homeless in a war zone. Quite the difference from the life that she was living now. Thinking about that still seemed strange to her and Wanda was not certain she would ever see a day when that was not the case.

“I suppose that would set off some questions. I’m…not sure the similarities with us are quite so striking. I guess Pietro looks a but like him and he claims I look like his – my mother…And maybe my powers have some slight similarities, but it all still seems so unbelievable.” Wanda stopped, taking a breath as she realized how quickly she had been speaking. “Though I suppose maybe that’s just denial speaking.”

Lorna felt herself almost physically deflate at Wanda’s almost-dismissal of her clear tension. While it didn’t come from nearly the same place, she’d been on the other end of that stick more than once before and knew that it wasn’t exactly comfortable either way, but it was always better to move on than to escalate. She’d learned that the hard way. “Maybe it would be easier if you thought about it a different way? I know I’m no expert, but it might hurt a little less if you stop counting the years you’ve spent without them, and concentrate instead on the years you spent with them?”

It wasn’t difficult to pick up on her emotions. Even the way she was talking seemed to ooze anxiety. For a moment, Lorna considered trying to back off or change the subject, since her previous attempts at calming her hadn’t worked. But she would rather leave this aspect of the conversation on a high note, especially considering the context. “I don’t think it’s wrong. To be in denial I mean. It’s just like the experimental method, right? You have a hypothesis, and then you test it. You don’t think he’s your father, and that’s a totally reasonable conclusion. So we test it, and once we get the results you can worry about what that means. Because if it turns out that he isn’t, then it’s a lot of stress to put yourself through for ‘maybe’.”

Rogue: I’m inclined to believe we can, but I’m also not naive to completely rule out that someone could be using her to set us up.

Rogue: Some sort of drug it seems.

Lorna: That makes sense. A wary approach is generally better than a naive one.

Lorna: Drug? What kind of drug?

That wasn’t exactly the answer that Wanda had been hoping for. Though honest and understandable, it wasn’t exactly helpful in her situation. At least, not in the way that she wanted. Of course, how could she expect anyone to be struggling with the same battle between logic and intuition that she had? That would require knowing someone else with her abilities that might experience such a thing.

“Right, of course.” That was not a situation that Wanda wanted to try to explain herself, especially after it had already seemed to push Pietro away. It was highly doubtful that her friends would appreciate her possible-father’s presence around their tower, if she even got the chance to try and come up with an answer. Besides, Xavier’s would be more neutral ground. No need to have this intrude even more into her life than it already had. “That’s perfectly fine with me.”

“I – I did not, no.” Wanda sighed, pushing back a bit of her hair. “My parents died when Pietro and I were very young still. They never told us that we were adopted and I never had a reason to question it until he reached out to me.”

Lorna may have grown up an only child, but that didn’t mean that she was ignorant to social ques. She could see that her answer, while not upsetting, hadn’t particularly lifted Wanda’s spirits either. Where her lack-of-growing-up-with-a-sibling came into play was that she didn’t really know how to address it. Any way of comforting her would likely just come off as awkward, and she didn’t really want to push her boundries, not with how the encounter was already going. So, instead she just, chose to do nothing. As much as it pained her, it seemed to be the best alternative.

“...I’m sorry.” Words once again seemed to be lost on the tip of her tongue, but this time she knew that silence wasn’t an option. “I know I said I lost my parents, but I was barely a toddler. I can’t even remember them, so I can’t imagine...” Taking a deep breath, she steeled herself. She may not be able to offer words of comfort for that particular scar, but maybe she could soothe another. “If it makes you feel any better, the only reason I suspected anything was because we - me and Erik - have the exact same powers. Otherwise it wouldn’t have crossed my mind either.”

Rogue: Possibly useful information and possibly a trap. Rogue: Telepathic contact from a girl being held by people collecting mutant DNA is the short answer.

Lorna: Possibly a trap? So we don’t know if we can trust her or not?

Lorna: Mutant DNA? Why would people want to collect mutant DNA?

“I can recommend real African coffee to you. That’s one of the good parts of this city. You have all the world at your doorstep and you don’t take enough notice of it.” She shook her head, amused. “Yes, it was nice to meet you too.”

“I’ll hold you to that.” She replied. Turning to face the counter, she saw an irritated barrista holding out her coffee towards her. With a wink, she extended her hand and the styrofoam mug flew into it, before turning to leave. But not without sending one final wave backwards towards the princess.

“I’m going to make a wall of American headlines. Your press is very amusing, but I suspect they do not intend to be.” She nodded. “Go, order your coffee. Not that this has a true resemblance to coffee. Yes, Shuri. I’m sorry, remind me of your name?”

“I’d like to see that,” Lorna grinned. “Some of them do, but the funniest ones are dead serious.” Briefly, she wondered what the Wakandan press was like in comparison. But now didn’t seem like the time to ask. “I still take offense to that, just so you know,” she teased. “Lorna. It was nice to meet you, Shuri. We’ll have to talk again some time. Maybe over your ‘superior’ coffee?”

Although any logical person likely would have questioned absolutely everything about this situation, Wanda still found she could not help but believe it to be true. Something in her – whether instinct or magic or telepathy – kept telling her that it was real, as much as she was not sure that she wanted to believe it. “Did you believe him when he first told you?” She asked with a sigh, contemplating the offer. Though she felt like she knew what the answers would be in the end, she still couldn’t help but feel like she should at least look for more concrete confirmation than just her own feelings on the situation. “It couldn’t hurt to just make sure…”

It wasn’t fair of her to be like this. To direct her discomfort on someone else only looking for answers, like her. and honestly? She couldn’t blame Lorna for what she was saying. Now that the doubts had been planted, Wanda did want to know the truth. “Did you know before he found you? That you did not belong to the people that raised you?” She realized as soon as she said it that that was probably a very personal question. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked that. It’s just….this has all been a lot to try and take it. You – you’re welcome to stay though.”

“He didn’t tell me until I’d already done the tests, so I didn’t exactly have a reason not to.” Again, Lorna doubted this was the answer Wanda wanted to hear. “I’d had my suspicions for a while, though. So if he had told me I probably would have believed him,” a small chuckle escaped from her throat. “One time there was this whole fiasco with some robot- Sorry. Probably not the best time for anecdotes.”

The green haired girl perked up a bit as the Avenger accepted her offer. Family was weird and convoluted and confusing, she didn’t feel like she’d ever really gotten the hang of it. Between her aunt and uncle, the death of her actual parents, and Erik, she’d never really gotten the chance to. But science? That she understood. “Great! It’s a date, then. Well, not a date, but you know what I mean,” her chuckle was more nervous this time. “Probably best to do it at Xavier’s, though. If you’re okay with that. I just don’t think it would look great for the Avengers if Erik showed up at their tower.”

Her next question jolted her somewhat. There were a vareity of ways she could answer, with a varying amount of detail, and she wondered exactly how much she should be willing to share. Sister or not, they were still practically strangers, and this was pretty personal information. But they had to start somewhere, and it wasn’t like they wouldn’t have to broach the topic eventually. “No, no, it’s fine. I actually did know, but not in the way that you might think. My parents died when I was pretty young, so my aunt and uncle raised me. But they didn’t tell me that I wasn’t actually theirs until I was well into my teens. It was only after that that I looked into how my real parents had died, and then I met the X-Men and Erik and things, just began falling into place.”

“What about you? Did you know?”

Wanda consciously tried to remind herself not to feel too harshly towards this woman. After all, it was hardly her fault that they were in this position. It was likely that she was in just as much of a strange position with all of this as Wanda herself was.

Regardless of knowing that, it was hard for Wanda not to be a little bit standoffish. The very idea that it might be possible that everything she had though she had known about her family was wrong was something that she was still struggling to process.

“Right – of course.” She had said that she wanted to meet this girl. That was still true. After years of Pietro, Wanda still thought it might be nice to have another sibling. But for all that desire, she still wasn’t sure what to say.

“I – He said that you had DNA tests done. Did you? Are – Are you absolutely sure that we’re all…”

Some part of her still had not decided if she believed this was real. She still felt as if she needed some validation.

“I know that I’m definitely his daughter. The checks that I did on you and your - our - brother were more like back-logs, since I didn’t exactly have your DNA on hand. I could do them again if you really want, but even those are usually fairly accurate.” Probably not the words of comfort that her sister wanted - a definite yes or no would have been much better. But her relationship with their father had started off with lies, and look where that had gotten them. No, she was going to get it right this time. No more secrets.

However, she couldn’t help but notice how uncomfortable the Avenger seemed with the entire situation. “Look, I know this is strange. If you want me to leave now and never talk to you again I will. I’m just sick of not knowing who I am, and I’m sure you are too. Besides, I’ve always wanted a sister.”
