Pietro was in the forest. He knew who called him here and he knew why.

'I really screwed up,' thought Pietro.

He looked around.

"Father? I'm here."

"I can see that, Quicksilver."

Pietro quickly turned around and saw his father. Magneto, the Master of Magnetism. And behind Magneto were his Acolytes: Sabretooth, Colossus, Gambit, and Pyro.

"Sir," said Pietro. "Is there something wrong?"

"I know what happened, Quicksilver."

"What happened, Sir?"

"Don't play dumb. I know you took the bullet for Rogue. An X-Man! The enemy!"

"No, I took the bullet for my girlfriend."

Magneto narrowed his eyes. "It seems all the time you've spent with the Brotherhood has made you weak and forget to whom your loyalties lie to."

"I'm afraid I must disagree with that statement."

"You're pushing your luck, Little Mousy," said Sabretooth.

"Says you, fluffy," smirked Pietro.

Sabretooth growled.

"Pietro," said Magneto. "You're coming with us."

"No, I'm not, Father.

"Yes, you are. Do not disobey me."

"I'm not going. I'm staying. I'm not going to leave my friends and sister."

"Alright, Pietro, I was hoping it didn't have to come to this. You have two options. Either come with me willingly. Or come by force and watch the Brotherhood die."

Pietro's fists tightened. There was no way out of this.

Pietro sighed.

"Okay, let's make a deal."

"What kind of deal?"

Pietro entered the boarding house.

"Everyone come here quickly!" he ordered.

Everyone come over fast.

"What's up?" asked Lance.

Wanda saw her father and his team enter. Her eyes narrowed.

"What are they doing here?"

Pietro didn't answer.

"Tro?" said Todd. "Somethin' wrong, yo?"

". . .Magneto knows about me getting shot in the arm last night. And you all know that if there was one more screw up, I'd be out."

They all stared with wide eyes. It was the moment they all knew would come and didn't want to happen.

"But, but, but, but, but, but, but. . . . . No," said Freddy.

"You. . . You can't leave us, Tro," said Todd, teary eyed. "You can't leave."

"You're apart of the Brotherhood," said Lance. "You're not an Acolyte."

"It'll be okay," said Pietro. "I made a deal with Magneto. He'll pay to have the house fixed and he'll pay all the bills and make sure you all get food. In exchange that I become his most loyal servant."

Wanda and the boys stared at Pietro with horror. Hoping, praying, that this was all a horrible nightmare.

"We don't want him to pay our bills!" yelled Lance. "We want him to let you stay here! You're one of us! You're not one of them! You're a member of the Brotherhood! Each one of us makes up the Brotherhood! Without you, we're incomplete! The five of us are a family, Tro! You can't leave the family!"

"I don't want to go, but I have to. It'll be okay. You guys will be fine without me."

"No," whispered Wanda. "NO!"

Her hands started to glow, glass broke, and everything went crazy.

"Wanda, stop-" Magneto began to order.

"No!" yelled Lance. "You can't stop her! Only Pietro can! Twins find support and comfort in each other! If you were a real father and a good one you'd know that!"

Magneto glared at him, but said and did nothing.

Pietro put his hands on Wanda's shoulders.

"Wanda, please calm down and look at me."

Wanda looked at him and she relaxed a little. The chaos stopped and she took in deep breaths.

"I know this seems unfair, but trust me," said Pietro. "This will work out."

"You're not going alone," said Wanda. "I'm going with you."

"Wanda."

"I'm coming."

"Wanda, listen to me. I don't want you to come. You'll be unhappy. You belong here. With your new brothers."

"I don't want new brothers. I want my twin. I want you to stay."

"I do too, but I can't. Don't be sad. Everything will be fine."

Wanda shook her head. Tears streamed down her face.

"If this is about my happiness and freedom, then take it! Just take it! I don't want it! Not without you!"

"Please understand. This is for the best. Everything will be okay. You'll be fine. I'll be fine."

Wanda sniffed. "No."

"I have to go."

"Please. . . Don't. . ." She shook her head. "Don't go."

Pietro kissed Wanda's forehead.

"I love you, Wanda."

"Pea."

"Goodbye."

Pietro looked at his brothers.

"Bye guys. I know we'll meet again."

Pietro went to Magneto.

"I'm ready," said Pietro. "I'm ready to be an Acolyte."

The end!

Poor Pietro. He's off the Brotherhood and is going to be an Acolyte now.

This story maybe over, but keep an eye open for the sequel. Pietro The Acolyte.
