Peter Maximoff's Memories

The Prison Break

Prologue

Peter had no idea what would happen when he agreed to go on the prison break with these three random mutants who turned up in his basement, he was going along for the illegal thrill. But afterwards he was set with an important task, but would he see it through?

*************************

Somewhere in Washington - 1973 

Peter was still buzzing from the prison break, he had never done anything so daring in all of his life. He had gotten himself into a few scraps in his time, but he had never broken into somewhere so governmental before. It had been easy for him to gain access to the lower parts of the Pentagon because he was fast, he was surprised that the plan had worked even though they nearly did get caught on the way out. Peter had saved the day, he actually enjoyed causing trouble in the Pentagon's kitchen. Rearranging bullets in mid air, throwing a plate like a frisbee and removing the guard's guns to stop them causing harm to others. The guards had ended up failing in their attempts to stop them escaping, it was amusing to see the surprised expressions on his fellow mutants faces. His Mom would kill him if she knew what he had done, he seriously needed to keep this secret to himself.

Charles had asked Peter to accompany them for the rest of their journey, he had a favour to ask of him before they left Washington. Peter couldn't refused the Professor's offer, he was having way too much fun with these random strangers. They all managed to squeeze into the rental car, it wasn't that comfy though. Peter was sitting in the back of the car between Charles and Erik, he thought it was for the best since Charles had punched Erik in the face. He had no idea what had happened between them in the past, but he thought it had been entertaining at the time. Peter couldn't keep his legs still in the back of the car, his feet were drumming on the car's floor and his legs kept jerking. He couldn't help it, he always found it hard trying to keep still when he was sitting down. Logan had told Peter to stop it more than once while Hank was driving the Chevrolet Nova, apparently it was distracting and annoying. 

" Sorry, I can't keep still sometimes." Peter said.

" Yeah, I've noticed." Logan said.

" Just try and keep still, we're almost there." Charles said. 

The atmosphere in the car was tense and awkward, it was too quiet for Peter's liking. He leaned forward and switched the radio on, he wanted to break the silence in the car before he lost his mind. The news immediately came on the radio, but Logan switched the radio off while he told Peter to sit back down and keep still. He sighed to himself and leaned back against the seat, he glance at Erik before he nervously licked his lips. He was curious about this guy, he found it weird how he could control metal. His Mom use to know a guy who could do that, it made his wonder if mutants could have the same ability has other mutants. He asked Erik a few questions, he wanted to know how long he had been kept prisoner at the Pentagon and if it was really true that he had killed the President. Erik had told Peter to mind his own business in a polite way, he accepted his answer. Peter looked at Charles next and shrugged his shoulders at him while he told him that he was just trying to be sociable. Charles advised Peter to remain silent for the rest of the journey for his own safety, he told him that Erik was temperamental at the best of times. Peter used his fingers to mimic a zip, he then pretended to zip his mouth shut. He sat in silence for a few minutes, but he soon began to get fidgety and he couldn't help himself but break the silence once again in the car.

" Where are we going anyway?" Peter asked.

" You're a curious one, aren't you?" Charles asked.

" Yep." Peter replied with a smile. " My Mom says that all the time, I basically know everyone's business in my neighbourhood."
