Lucid (Amy Xavier)

3.

I like my version of Crystal...

A month later, Charles was in cerebro, looking for Peter, again. "It's hard, he's hardly using his powers."

"I wish this never happened." Hank said.

"Yeah. Wait! I think I've found him!"

"Really?!"

"Yes, he's in some place called. The Baxter building."

"I think I know that."

"Okay, we have to find him again."

"I'll make the jet ready."

Peter and Crystal were just hanging in the garden, again, like they did everyday.

"Come, I wanna show you something." Peter said, and took Crystal to a beach.

"What is this place?" Crystal asked.

"I used to come here... when the world closed in and got so small I couldn't breathe. I'd look out at the ocean, and I'd think... "Yo, douchebag, high school counts for jack shit." I was so happy when I went to Xavier's school, and that's where I met Amy."

"Do you still love her?"

"Don't ask questions you already know the answer to. You're smarter than that."

They laid down in the sand, under the warm sun. "It's beautiful." Crystal said, and then they heard something. "What's that?" Crystal asked.

"I thought this could happen." The jet landed and the X-Men came out. Peter stood up.

"Pietro, Who are they?"

"Just stay here, okay?"

"No way, I'm coming with you."

"Fine."

Peter walked to the X-Men. "You know, I thought you would've found me earlier." He said.

"We aren't here to hurt you, Peter." Said Raven.

"Peter?" Crystal looked at him.

"Who's that?" Raven asked.

"She stays with me."

"Is she your girlfriend? I thought you were mad she died." Bobby said.

"If you don't shut up right now-"

"What are you gonna do, Peter?" Pyro asked, he was holding a fireball in his hand.

"You obviously don't know me, then."

"I don't, Crystalia?" Jean took a step forward.

"How do you know my name?"

"She's a psychic, fucks up your brain. Yes, I know about the mind tricks Xavier's been doing." Peter said.

"Just come with us, Peter."

"Just leave me alone."

"You know we can't."

"Just leave me alone!" Peter took Crystal back to the garden, with superspeed.

"Wow! That was- fast."

"I know."

"Who were they? And why did they call you Peter?"

"They're the X-Men. And Peter is my name."

"Then why did you say it was Pietro?"

"I didn't want to be found."

"I see."

"Don't leave me now."

"I'm not gonna leave you, you know I won't."
