A/N: It's prom! It's graduation! It's… the Brotherhood's kids from the future? I hate time travel… Dedicated to my number one fan Persian85033. Here's to your health Precious!
It had been two weeks since last we saw our heroes, but it had been an incredible two weeks. Logan's speech to Wanda did much to calm her, although still knowing her love was gone, still made her weep at night. Pietro, on the other hand, spent a great deal of time with Anna, in fact he's spending time with her right now.
-Somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic-
Moving at speeds exceeding Mach 10, Pietro and Anna ran across the water, hand in hand. They moved at such extreme speeds that their environment appeared to remain motionless. A whale in mid leap quickly came into view. They ran under the gargantuan beast, and quickly left it behind.
It had been like this ever since Anna got her new powers. Pietro would take her for a run, a run that would result in them visiting far off lands like Paris France, Tokyo Japan, and even Caldecott County Mississippi.
The coastline came into view, then New York State, then Bayville, and finally the Brotherhood Mansion.
They didn't stop until they were securely inside Pietro's room.
When Pietro closed the door, Anna immediately threw him against the door and pinned him there using her own body. She closed the gap between their lips with one graceful motion.
Pietro broke this kiss, now panting, "How does it feel? How does it feel to be faster than the wind? On par with a bolt of lightning?" he asked staring into Anna's giant emerald orbs.
Anna let her lips slip into a small smile, "Ah had no ahdea…" she paused for a moment, jus long enough for her smile to shift into a frown, "Can ya ever forgive meh?" she asked resting her head into the crook of his neck.
"I told you…" he paused for a brief moment, "I told you the night they called me to come see you… that I loved you and if you needed me around, that I'd be there for you," he said in a whisper, "Follow me," he said opening the door and taking her into the bathroom.
-Several minutes later in the bathroom-
Various articles of clothing littered the floor, pants, boxers, shirts, panties, gloves, a bra, and socks. Pietro and Anna lay in the bathtub; Anna leaned back against Pietro's chest while he leaned against the wall of the tub. The water level was at just a safe enough distance from the top to keep from overflowing. Conveniently placed bubbles kept their naked bodies from being revealed.
"I told you all the risks about using powers like ours right?" he asked running his hand trough her hair.
Anna closed her eyes, "The amount of friction we build up is enough to leave burns, if we move to suddenly we can make a sonic-boom, and if we move too fast our hand will go through someone lahke butter," she said in an almost sleep like state.
Pietro kissed her cheek, "There's one thing you can never forget, it is the only thing that makes people like us vulnerable," he said in an all too serious tone.
Anna turned her body as much as she could so she could face him, "What is it?" she asked, her voice betraying her worried state.
"When we're asleep we're just as slow as everyone else," he said staring into her eyes.
"Is that such a problem?" she asked resting her head on his chest.
"It's the reason I don't sleep at night," he said wrapping his arms around her, "You'll understand soon."
-The very next day-
Todd looked at his suit as it hung motionless on his closet door. He began sweating and his foot began twitching involuntary. Todd shook his head and leapt to his door, he walked out of his room and down the hall. Then with one graceful leap he jumped over the banister and landed on the ground floor between Lance and Regan.
Lance peeked an eyebrow with interest, "Look at him Regan, he's all sweaty and out of breath. Looks like he's about to throw up... who's ready to ask someone to go to prom with him?" he asked putting Todd into a head lock and messing with his hair.
"He's going to turn out to be a real heartbreaker," Regan said with a wink.
Todd blushed, "I don't know about that," he said now finding the floor very interesting.
"When I think about all the hearts I've broken…" Regan said with a surreal smile.
"Yeah, me too!" Lance exclaimed high fiving Todd.
Regan peeked an eyebrow in confusion, "Wasn't I only the second girl you've ever dated?" she asked.
"Not in front of the boy!" Lance exclaimed gesturing to Todd, "He looks up to me!"
-Almost an hour later in the X-living room-
Todd sat in an arm chair, not five feet in front of a very disgruntled Logan. Todd's original plan had been to sneak into Rahne's room ask her to the prom, and then make a quick escape before any one noticed him. And it was all going smoothly. He had leapt onto her balcony, pushed her door open, and wrapped his arms around her waist. He whispered his request into her ear, the answer he got was far from any of the choices he thought possible, 'Ask Mr. Logan.' He had never in a million years would have guessed that she'd be so traditional.
But, here he was in front of the man who had taught him everything he knows about fighting, stealth, and infiltration. As if that wasn't enough Ororo, Hank, Charles, and Rahne stood behind him.
Todd cleared his throat and he fingered the collar of his shirt, "Well you see Mr.… Wolverine. I was uh… wondering if it would be okay to take your… student, to the prom?" he asked with a lopsided nervous smile.
Rahne smiled as she clasped her hands together in anticipation.
Logan crossed his arms, "No," he said without hesitation.
Rahne gestured for Todd to try and convince him.
Todd rubbed the back of his head, "Well you see… we've been dating for a while… and the prom would be a great place to…"
Logan cut him off, "No," he said with a growl.
Rahne began pleading with her eyes, urging Todd to keep going.
Todd furrowed his brow in determination, thoroughly surprising everyone in the room. He got to his feet and opened his mouth to speak but before the words could come out he was interrupted.
"You can take her," Logan said with a nod, "Just wanted to make sure you could take care of her, standing up to me? Shows you got guts," he paused for a moment, "Guts I'll happily remove from your body if you make her cry."
Todd nodded as Rahne hugged him, "I'll be wearing a green dress," she gave him a peck on the cheek, "See ye tonight!"
-Several hours later in the school gym-
The prom was starting to pick up, couple danced together, the jocks and their dates stood in the corner talking, and even the less popular people were having a great time. All in all, it was shaping up to be the greatest prom in Bayville High history. That is… until the Brotherhood showed up.
They burst through the double doors gathering the attention of nearly everyone in the building. Each of the boys wore a black suit with black shoes, and if the occupants of the dance didn't know any better, they'd have sworn that the Brotherhood Boys were dressed to kill.
Lance walked next to Regan her hand resting on his elbow. She wore a tight black and red dress, Lance's cummerbund and tie matching flawlessly.
St. John walked in next, his arm hung around Amara's neck. His cummerbund and ties matched Amara's backless orange dress.
Next in was Freddy, and for some unknown reason, well to the other boys, Tabby was hanging off his arm. She wore a flashy pinch dress, and Freddy was dressed to match.
Pietro waked in, his arm around Anna's waste. She wore a dark purple dress which matched Pietro's attire quite nicely.
Then Todd walked in Rahne on his arm. They walked with a sense of pride, not because they matched but because Todd stood up to the famed Wolverine and left with his intestines intact.
Last but certainly not least Wanda walked in side by side with Karima. Naturally Wanda wore a scarlet dress, and her 'date's' dress was white, and if at all possible it subtly complemented her light blue metallic arm.
They stood there for a moment, letting their eyes roam over the crowd. The Brotherhood Boys of Bayville cleaned up nice… real nice.
-An hour or so later-
It had only taken an hour before Lance had spiked the punch, before Todd had incorporated his agility into his dancing, before Pietro was making out with Anna, before St. John had to rest his legs, and before Wanda asked how Freddy had ended up asking Tabby to the dance.
Freddy shrugged, "She was the first person I really loved," he smiled, "And Kurt's not even a thing any more, so I asked her out. Excuse me," he said getting to his feet and walking towards the bathroom.
Wanda waved him off, and then she glared at Tabby, "Listen, he may have forgiven you, but there's no way in hell I or any of the other boys ever will," she said in a low threatening voice.
St. John nodded in agreement, "Tell her Sheila. Freddy's our mate and no one hurts him loihke you did," he said slightly out of breath.
Tabby could only nod in understanding.
Yes the dance was going great for the Brotherhood, and they couldn't have asked for a better night, than to be with friends and loved ones… but true to Brotherhood Luck all good things must end.
There was an intense bright light, as wind began to pick up, wiping tables and chairs across the room. Random people were lifted and flung into the air. After several seconds of chaos the light died down and the wind stopped.
Everyone got to their feet and looked to where the chaos had come from. Five young women were now standing in the center of the gym. They wore form fitting black Kevlar uniforms with the SHIELD insignia on their chests.
Freddy walked forward fully prepared to fight, but the smallest woman stepped forward, she looked up at the taller man. Freddy looked down at the tiny blonde he was easily two feet taller than her, he opened his mouth to speak but she said the one word that could take down the Immovable Blob.
"Daddy?" she asked with a small smile.
And with a mighty tremor Freddy hit the ground in unconsciousness.
