Peter:

The Avengers' appearance in the great hall took me completely by surprise. I know everyone else is just as dumb as I am. Especially Wanda, Lilly and Charles. After all, Wanda has her dead brother back and the other two suddenly have a larger family.
"I think I owe you an explanation," I say quietly.
"If you don't mind me!" says Storm. I can tell from her tone that she is angry.
"Now where do I start?"
"It's best at the beginning!" says my son in a controlled manner.
"Liliana, Charles, I can understand your anger honestly. That's why I want to explain it to you. But for that I have to repeat something from the past."
"I have time." Erik says.
"Liliana, remember when I was after the fight against Apocalypse?"
"Yes why?"
"At the time I just left without explaining it to you. But I couldn't tell you the truth because I knew it would upset you. That's why...."
"Have you not even contacted me? Would it have been so difficult?" asks my hurt wife.
"...that's why I didn't want to burden you with it. And besides, I had to put my recent experiences in order for the first time. After all, it's not every day you find out that your father would rather fight the X Men than fight with them and that you still have family. After I found out, went to see Wanda. And somehow we were picked up by the Avengers," I say.
"Oh wow, the Avengers picked you and your sister up?" Scott asks sarcastically. And I understand his mood.
"Have you ever thought of telling me the truth? In case you haven't noticed, we're married now. Oh, and in the meantime we also had a son! Why the hell didn't you tell me the truth? Has it been that hard for you?" The last words no longer sound angry at all, but very sad. Before I can say or do anything, she turns on her heel and leaves the great hall. Without thinking twice, I hurry after her .

Steve:

None of us could have guessed that Pietro was still alive. I think it was the worst for Wanda and Pietro Frau. I really don't understand why he didn't tell her anything. Well no matter! Now everyone is sitting together in the cozy living room. Although some have sat down on the floor.
"Just so I get it right, you're the Avengers and you fight evil just like us?" asks one of the red-haired girls. She's standing in front of the fireplace.
"Exactly..." Morgan begins.
"I'm Liz. You already know Marry and Charles. And these are my siblings Caroline, Lucien and Chelsey. This is Marry's brother Max.", she introduces herself and her family.
"And what can we do for you now?" asks Pietro.
"We heard from Fury that this school exists," explains Wanda, looking intently at her brother.
"Is that all?" asks this wolf-like mutant. He sits next to the also red-haired mutant and seems to be his husband.
"Unfortunately it's not that," says a strange woman suddenly. She suddenly stands in the room and looks at all of us.
"What do you mean, Aunt?" Charles asks, confused.
"Well, I just went back to jail to visit our father. But he wasn't there anymore. Officials said he was fired," she says.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Wanda asks.
"Lorna, may I introduce you to Wanda? She is my twin, or our sister." Pietro comes to the rescue.
"Please what?!" Wanda and Lorna ask at the same time.
"Well, if this keeps up, the day can't get any better," says Tommy with a grin. But Billy nudges him in the ribs.
"What then?"
"That's not funny."
"Indeed.", Lila speaks up.
"What do we do now?" comes from Liz
"I have an idea!" Marry intervenes.
"Oh yes, and that would be?" asks her brother Max.
"You're saying, Lorna, that Erik was fired?"
"That's correct, why?"
"Well, because I don't think the officers let him go voluntarily."
"Wow, that's as far as we've come," says Lukas sarcastically.
"Let me finish, Lucien! What I actually wanted to say before I was so prudishly interrupted was that we should find out why Erik is free."
"How are you going to do that? If our parents show up there, it'll be over before you've even said the word," Chelsey objects.
"That's true, but if we show up there then not."
"The only problem that remains is the resemblance," says Charles.
"Not necessarily!" says Cassie.
"Quite simply, Lila, Cassie and I are going there," Morgan explains, grinning.
"You just don't know the way!" Caroline says.
"That's true, but if Marry goes with the three, it's different. But I would suggest that only one of you goes. For your own safety," says a woman.
"So who's leaving now?" Cooper asks.
"Morgan," Cassie and Lila reply at the same time.
"Why me?"
"Because you're good at discussing."
"Do you think that's a good idea, Ashley?" asks Marry's mother.
"Yes, I am."
"And why do you want to send our daughter in it?" Scott asks.
"Because her mutation allows her to control the officers better."
"There's no way I'm going to use my gift. If they notice, it's over and done with."
"Clara's right. Mom, Dad let me go with her and step in if there's an emergency," Charles offers.
"There's no way I'm going to endanger you again."
"Garden plants, leave that to me. Have you already forgotten what I promised you?"
"No of course not."
"There you are."
"So it's decided. Marianne, Charles and Morgan will visit the prison and then we'll see," says Charles Xavier.
