MindStrike (X-men)

I let out a sigh as Peter helped me carry things to the basement and I saw a bunch of stuff.

"Was any of this bought?" I asked as I put the box down.

"I say no will you call the cops?"

"I didn't see anything." I said as I plopped down on the couch.

"Good." He said as he nodded his head.

He plopped down beside me and we started the project.

"So.... can you control it?" He asked calmly.

"Don't know what you are talking about."

"Your powers.... come on I know you are like me."

"Like you?" I asked as I looked up at him.

He sent me a smile and then held up a glass. I looked at him confused and he smiled as the glass disappeared.

"Where did it go?" I asked shocked.

"Kitchen..... hungry?" He asked calmly.

"Sure." I said softly.

He smiled as he held up a bag from McDonald's.

"How? I didn't see you leave."

"Super speed." He said happily.

"Wow.... that's awesome! How do you do it?" I asked shocked.

"It's easy I just run.... now about your powers.... how do they work? Can you control them?"

"No..... I try to but.... if I get mad or scared... things break... I have control of my telepath but not my telekinesis." I said softly.

"Well luckily for you..... I know a place where we can practice and you won't break anything of value." He said with a smile.

He put his hand behind my neck and I looked at him confused.

"Don't want you to get whiplash." He explained.

Before I knew it we were in the middle of a garbage dump.

"Why are we here?"

"You can break whatever you want here." He said with a smile.

A month later I had nearly gotten full control of my powers. I spent most of my time going to Peter's house so we could practice.

"Hey Peter.... you can go anywhere right?" I asked as I bit my lip.

"Yea, why?" He asked as he leaned back on his couch.

"Could you take me somewhere?" I asked softly.

"Depends on the place."

"It isn't to far.... it's a school." I said softly.

"Why do you want to go to a school?"

"I have a friend there."

"You have friends?"

I smacked his shoulder and he let out a laugh.

"Okay tell me where to go." He said with a smile.

It wasn't long before we where in front of the school and I saw people walking around. I bit my lip as I looked around.

"There is a room bottom floor.... has Raven on the front... take me there." I said softly.

He nodded his head and sped through the house. We made it to the front of the door and I held my breath as I opened the door and walked in. I saw that the room was the same. There was a queen size bed and there was a desk in the corner beside the dresser. I walked up to it and smiled as I picked up a picture frame.

"Who is She?" Peter asked as he shut the door.

"My aunt...... she was my best friend before she left."

I heard the door handle move and Peter sped us out of the room. I let out a sigh as we made it to a empty room and I froze.

"What?" He asked in a whisper.

"This... this was.... this was my old room." I said as I looked around.

"It's empty."

"Yea.... lets go." I said softly.

"Cassandra-"

"Let's go.... please."

We walked out of the room and he went to speed away but a voice stopped us.

"Can I help you?"

I turned to see a man wheel up to us and I held my breath. Beside him was a man covered in blue fur.

"Got loss." Peter said softly.

"Are you new?" He asked calmly.

"We just came to look around... heard about it and was curious."

"Well welcome. My name is Charles Xavier and this is Hank McCoy.... and who are you?"

"Peter... and this is-"

"No one important... we where just leaving. Thanks for the time." I said as I grabbed Peter's hand and walked away.

I dragged him out he front door and held back the tears as we snuck and hid behind a tree. I saw Charles roll out and look around. He had a frown on his face but it soon disappeared when a student walked up to him.

"Guess he didn't miss me." I whispered through tears.

"He is your father.... isn't he?"

"No..... my father doesn't exists.... can you take me back?"

He nodded his head and sped to his house. I felt tears stream down my face and he let out a sigh.

"I know you hate when I steal.... but you looked like you needed this." He said as he handed me a picture frame.

The picture was of Raven, my father, and me when I had just turned four.

"Thank you." I said as I hugged him.

He patted my back and then pulled away and sent me a smile.

"Don't worry about him.... it's his loss." He said with a smile.

"Thank you..... for being suck a good friend."

"So I'm your friend now?"

"Don't make me regret saying it." I said as I shook my head.

"Now that we are friends my master plan has been set in motion.... I swear by the age of twenty-six I'll be your second husband."

"What happen to my first husband?"

"Nothing anyone can prove."

He wiggles his eyebrows and I let out a laugh as I shook my head.

"Idiot." I said as I sent him a smile.

"Cassandra! Your father is here!" Peter's mom yelled.

"Looks like Daniel is here." I said as I stood up.

"Good luck." Peter said as he sent me a smile.

"So.... what will you do if you are my first husband?" I asked with a smile.

"Divorce you and then remarry you."

I laughed as I shook my head and walked up the stairs.
