*Pyro’s POV*
There was constant chatter about the attack against the X-Men. I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned against the wall. My mind began to wander. The one thought that always came to my head was of the same person: (Y/N). There was something about (Y/N) that I couldn’t shake off. The way that (Y/N) made me feel after a hard day of school, and the way that she’d always be willing to wake up and talk to me when I couldn’t sleep. I hadn’t realised that I was being spoken to until I heard laughter.
“What?” I asked looking at the others. There were snickers and I flicked the lighter I kept in my pocket open. Using my powers, I raised my arms up so I could control the flames. “What?” I repeated. Most of the members of the brotherhood looked a little scared and took a step back.
“Pyro, we were only talking about you and that girl from the X-Men.” Magneto told me.
“What about her?” I asked.
“How you are going to be too weak to fight against her.” Magneto said simply before turning away.
“I won’t be too weak!” I snapped.
*Reader’s POV*
There was a nervous tension in the air around us. Many of knew that there was a small chance of… Survival. Today, we either won, or we lost. Looking around, I saw that the brotherhood were too far. Adrenaline was coursing through my body and I was ready to run home. I couldn’t be here. But yet I had to be.
I needed to see Pyro. I had to make sure that he was okay. There was a part of me that wanted to run ahead and find the Brotherhood just to see if he was okay. However, a bigger part of me told me to stay back with the others. The others saw Pyro as a traitor which he is. There was no point in denying it. After everything we went through at the school, he turned his back on us and went to the Brotherhood. We’re meant to working together, not fighting against one another.
“(Y/N)?” I turned around to see Bobby was looking at me. “You okay?”
“I’m fine. Honestly.” I added when he gave me a sceptical look.
The next thing I knew was that we were thrown into battle. It was mutant against mutant. All of us charged against the Brotherhood. I had the advantage with my mutation. I could turn invisible and sneak up against the others. It was going well for me, I managed to take down as many of the Brotherhood members as I could.
Then I saw Pyro. I froze and hadn’t realised I turned visible. Pyro saw me and there was a surprised look in his eyes. Before I could turn invisible again, he threw a ball of flames towards me. I managed to duck and roll before it could hit me. The only problem was that it singed me slightly.
“PYRO!” I screamed to him. He charged at me and I managed to dogde another flaming fist. I tripped over my feet and Pyro stood over me. His arms were covered in flames and he was about to attack.
“Don’t do this!” I begged. He froze and was ready to throw more fire at me. He lowered his arm.
“I can’t do this.” He told me. There was weariness in his eyes.
“You have to come back!” I told him.
“I can’t! Everyone thinks I’m a traitor!”
“John,” I knew it was risky using his real name as I took a step towards him. “You can come back. Please, just don’t do this.”
Pyro raised his arms and I closed waiting for the pain. Instead I felt his hand around my arm as he pulled me to my feet. “I might as well fight with you.” He told me. I couldn’t help but smile a little. With a nod, he threw more fire. This time it wasn’t against the X-Men. But rather at the Brotherhood.
