The sins of father
N/A: I have this idea for how to introduce Wanda here, yes, I forget the name of the deity that possessed Wanda, but, I really don´t care and MEH.
Wanda Maximoff was taught early on that magic has a price. Her twin, Pietro, don´t understand why his own twin is so linked with magic, especially seeing how their mother ended up.
Lately, the Avengers, who Pietro thought were great heroes, are now turning blind eyes for real issues in order to provoke fights with the X-men, regardless of who starts, Pietro can say there´s something more urgent than prove Scott Summers is wrong. So, in a bizarre fashion, Pietro decides to join X-men.
Once he and Wanda arrive in the mansion, something is odd, well, maybe is his paranoia talking but Pietro could swear something is different. Rogue goes to answer them.
"We want to stay with the X-men, the Avengers" Wanda speaks in a more diplomatic tone as much she can as everyone know the Avengers and X-men are water and oil. "Are more concerned with war than being heroes, can we stay with the X-men?"
Rogue is about to answer with the answer on the tip of her tongue " we the X-men don´t refuse any help" when Rogue notices Wanda looking straight to the red couch to one Kitty Pryde who is staring without blinking at Wanda.
Rogue´s eyes widen at this. Gulping loudly, Rogue takes Wanda and Pietro out of the room, sadly, Wanda continues to stare at Kitty without blinking ignoring Pietro and Rogue´s words.
___________________
Scott and Pietro aren´t best friends and certainly won´t be friends now, but, the fair is fair and Cyclops welcome them in the team, once of course, each side proved to be true. Pietro asked if the X-men are hiding Jean Grey, Logan and Professor X and Scott asked if his alliance with the X-men are genuine, once those questions were answered in a positive way Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are ready to be with the X-men again.
Wanda looks at the wall. They are on the third floor and the woman is gazing so intensely at the wall that is not unnoticed by the two-man and Psylocke who shares a concerned look. "Where is she?" Wanda asked with fear in her voice.
Betsy is taking a deep breath and ignores Pietro´s question. "She´s whatever she wants to be...Do you want to talk to her now?"
Wanda pales as her eyes get slightly red. "NO!" and only calms down when Pietro is there with her speaking in Romanian with his sister.
"What the hell?" Pietro asked and Scott answers the best he can.
"Do you know about faes? Then don´t make too many questions"
Only Wanda laugh at this response, of course, it is not Wanda´s voice anymore, see, magic has a price and Wanda´s power come with a big problem, Chutlu´s son is here with her and won´t ever leave her alone;
"A fae? You, humans, are so dumb" the deity speaks but his arrogance is overshadowed by fear "I need to leave"
"Why?" Kitty asks and time literally stops. "You just got here, will be a damn shame to leave just like that" Kitty speaks with a grin on her face showing the cracks on her mask along with her azzure eyes.
"I...have nothing to do with what happened with you, nothing" the deity speaks with fear "it was my father´s idea, not mine"
"So?" Kitty speaks slowly approaching the small deity as the place morphed to her realm "you are guilty as you carry a tiny fraction of your dear father. I consider this an insult to me and I´ll respond" Tentacles spread from the ground or sky, is hard to make out the rules on a place that follow the whins of Life itself.
"Please, NO" the deity speaks using one last trump "This vessel is mine, if you kill me, it will kill this human and you love humans"
"Shut up" And the tentacles enter Wanda´s mouth to retrieve the small deity, a small ball of small energy compared to the giant that is Kitty, the endless, the Eternity, Zaorva. And she devoured the small deity slowly knowing full well he still can scream until he could no longer scream.
Now, times flow back normally and Wanda almost drops on the floor, but, Kitty holds her. Wanda looks in awe at Kitty. "You...you defeat that creature? A being of pure darkness?"
"Yes, I did" Kitty has enough mind to know that humans don´t like to know when non-humans eat. Wanda is impressed and only remember she is in the room with other people when everyone makes their presence know.
"For all my life a deity of darkness was inside of me...and I never thought it would be possible to defeat him, Dr Stranger said the best I could do is control it, but, Kitty you defeat him. I´m free...thank you" and hugs Kitty again surprising Betsy and Scott.
Kitty blinks. "Oh, you welcome, but, in truth, that thing is not powerful...it only wanted to make you think it is" Kitty explained and Wanda nods and introduces herself properly this time.
"My name is Wanda Maximoff, I´m Scarlet Witch." Wanda greets with a nice smile one that she rarely used.
"My name is Kitty Pryde, I´m Shadowcat, welcome to the X-men"
Pietro rolls his eyes as seeing his sister flirt is not his priority, meanwhile, Scott and Betsy have questions but...are they ready to get the answers?
Later on, the Avengers compensate their losses with a new member. A man called Kurt Wagner.
"Nice, welcome to the Avengers, Kurt" Tony congratulates Kurt who smiles
"No, I thank you, Stark" and his smile, in Stark´s already delusional mind, is from someone grateful when in reality is far from that.
