Whatever it takes (x-men/avengers crossover)

"We have nothing to talk about." Magda snapped at him. She looked at the youngest of their children and grabbed her by the chin. "What happened to you, baby? Your face is all red." Lillian waved her off. "Just ran from the danger room." Magda let go of her. "How many times have I told you not to race with Peter? " She looked at the oldest one. "Peter, did you have to tempt her? You know she's always up to a challenge, especially if it's with you." He shook his head. "I didn't do anything." Lillian just stuck her tongue out at her brother. The privilege of the youngest.

"I'm sorry to break up this little fight but I think we have something to talk about. Our kids for example." She gave them the 'you told him' look. "Guys, I think we should take this somewhere private." Wanda pointed at some kids who were looking out of the windows. "I know where. Follow me." Erik took them to some room in the mansion, far from everyone. They sat on the armchairs.

"Are you sure that the professor wouldn't mind?" Lillian asked quietly.
"Yeah, I'm sure." An awkward silence spread throughout the room. "I think you should start from the beginning."

"Uhm, after world War 2, me and your mom meet, and after many years we got married. Not long after we got married, I started hunting nazis so I left." Rose immediately interjected. "You left mom? You left her?" She looked at her mom. "That time I was already pregnant with Wanda and Peter. In a year, he came back. You two were with your aunt Anya. We spent some time together and then, he told me what he did. Who he really is." Magda continued. "Yes, but then you left me," Erik said betrayed. "Can you blame me? I was married to a killer. I know what those men did to you, I was there too but that doesn't mean you can kill them." She yelled at him.

"I think you both should calm down and continue." Wanda stood up between the two of them. "After that, I took you guys and we left for Washington. I didn't know I was pregnant with you two." She looked at Lillian and Rose. "That's it. Nothing more."

"You said you 'were married' but you two are not divorced. So, practically, you're still married to a killer." Lillian slapped her brother's head after he said that. "I think we should introduce ourselves, explain our mutation, tell something about ourselves. Peter, you want to go first?" Wanda suggested. Peter nodded and stood up. "I'm Pietro but everybody calls me Peter because I like it more. I'm the oldest of us all. I have superhuman speed, enhanced reflexes. But you already know since I helped Charles to break you out of Pentagon. And I think this looks like we are at the addition confession." Magda looked at him. "You did what?!"

"So that's why you left that time and couldn't tell us where you were going," Rose said. "When did that happen?" Lillian looked at them, confused. "Three years ago. You were sick at that time." It suddenly clicked. "I remember. You tried to annoy the hell out of me." The other girls laughed. "That sounds a lot like our Peter." Wanda stood up next. "I'm Wanda, I'm the younger of us two. The older middle sibling. I have powers of telekinesis and telepathy and I can create illusions. I think that's it." She sat back down.

The next one was Rose. "My name is Rosemarie but everybody calls me Rose. I'm the older one of Liz and me. I can read minds and manipulate the gravitation of people. And this really looks like a group session."
She clapped hands with Peter. Wanda patted Lillian's back when she stood up.

"My name is Lillian, I'm the youngest of us all. And well I got your powers. I can manipulate electromagnetic fields and I can heal others. Most of the kids in our school thought I was crazy. I'm the logic smart, Rose is book smart, Wanda is intelligent smart and Peter is... well Peter and we love him. And this is us." She sat down with an exhale. 'I did it.' She thought." Well, I can tell who got who's temper and character. It's weird that you're two pairs of twins." Erik said. "Well, you both must have very good genetics." Rose chimed in. "Which is disgusting to talk about." Lillian rolled her eyes. Another wave of awkward silence came.

"And now what?" Rose asked. "Now, I think I should go back home." Magda stood up. "I have some of your clothes in the car, so you might want to take those." They all went outside again and took some bags filled with clothes and other personal stuff. Magda hugged each one of them. "I love you, my babies." She said kind of emotionally. "We love you too." She got in the car, waved at them, and drove away.

"Well, it was nice to meet you."  Erik said and Lillian approached him. "You're leaving? I have some questions." He put his hand on her shoulder. "I promise I'll answer every single one of them. But now, I need to take care of some things. I'll be back as soon as I can." He looked at them. "Bye for now." He got in his car and drove away too. "Well, that went better than I expected." Peter joked.

"Guys, you should get back." Lillian looked at them. "Where are you going?" Rose asked her twin sister. "Library, probably." Lillian muttered. Rose nodded and jumped onto Peter's back along with Wanda.
Lillian gave them a little wave before they disappeared.

Everybody was sitting in a circle and talking when they arrived. "You're finally here. We were waiting for you." Raven said as the girls got off of Peter. "Sorry, it took so long. We just needed a little chat." She nodded. "Let's start."

Lillian sat on the window bench and put her head into her hands. 'What have I done?' "What you thought was best." Professor's voice came through to her. "Can you maybe not go through my mind? I'd be very happy, thank you." She looked at him deadly. "Oh God, what if they're going to hate me?" She made an exasperated gesture with her hands. "No one is going to hate you. Not your siblings, nor parents." He wheels to her. "How did you know?" She asked.

"There are some similarities and honestly, you thought you'd keep that from me? I don't need to get inside your mind and yet I still hear you. Especially you. It's like you're screaming at me." She sighed. "I'm sorry. I'm normally peaceful with my thoughts it's just... new place, new people, I got to meet my father..." She smiled a little. "It was nice to meet him." She remembered that she wanted to talk to him about something.

"Professor, when we were in Cairo and I was healing you I... I felt something. I think I can heal your spine." He gave her not a very surprised look. "Your healing power comes from your energy. This is huge and I can't let you take the risk." He said. "But I feel I can..." He cut her off. "Lillian no! End of discussion!" And with that, he wheeled away. "I just wanted to help." She whispered with a vulnerable voice, her eyes filling with tears. Who doesn't cry when they get yelled at? She quickly got into her room where she could cry.

The door opened and the older girls came in laughing. Wanda saw her youngest sister crying immediately. "What's wrong Lizzy?" She came to her. "I was just watching some cute videos. You know how emotional I get because of those." She lied and Wanda seems to believe it. "How was training?" She asked. "Amazing, you should've been there." Rose started talking about their training and everything that happened. They heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Jean came into the room. "I thought it was Peter for a second. But then, did he ever knock?" The girls laughed. "I came to tell you that it's dinner time." Jean leaned on the doorframe. "Thank God, I'm starving." Rose got up and passed by Jean.  "You guys go. I'm not hungry. And I have some work to do. " Lillian said, looking at the desk in their room. "That's not true. The school just started, again. You don't have anything to do." Jean said. Truth is that she doesn't want to face the professor after their... chat.

"Oh come on, if you're not that hungry, you'll just have something small. Let's just hang out and talk. You can talk to Alex. I'm sure he'll be there." Jean teased her and Lillian threw a pillow at her. "Are you all insane? I just saved him. Why do you all think I like him?" She kind of yelled. "Because we have eyes." Rose stormed back into the room. "Are you coming or what?!"
