Chapter 2
“What is it? What can I do?”
Kurt pleaded, almost desperately. He had to know how to get his friend back. Peter thought slowly, uncharacteristically slow for him, really. Kurt was waiting for what felt like an eternity.
“Well.. There’s a place. It’s called Genosha. There’s a witch there. My sister, Wanda. She would know how to make me real again.”
Kurt frowned. Again? But that would mean that Peter…
“You-- were you alive?”
Peter only nods. So he had been alive at one point, he had been a living, breathing person. Kurt, for a second, blanks out. And then he remembers Peter’s stories-- the story of Wren and Zel, and the Russian speedster Pietro. The story of Professor X and Magneto, all of the stories must have been real.
“You died. The stories, you were trying to tell me something? You knew my parents, and Uncle Charles and Uncle Erik?”
Peter nodded. Well, that explained something, at least.
“How do I get to this… Genosha? Where is it?”
Kurt waited patiently for directions. While he was waiting, Peter told him a story, one based off of Genosha. He told Kurt about a paradise for mutants, a place where everyone, no matter what they could do, was accepted.
“...And that’s what Genosha is. It’s a safe haven. And my sister makes sure everything is running good, and stuff.”
Kurt nodded, hoping that the story was over. He wanted to go already.
“How do i get there, Peter?”
“Uh… Ask my dad. He’d know.”
“Who is your father, Peter?”
Kurt frowned. Of course Peter had a father, but.. Who?
“You know, Magneto.”
Oh. Magneto. Erik. Well… Talking to him was going to be difficult. Kurt may-or-may-not be very afraid of him. He wasn’t very good with.. People. Or Magnetos.
“Peter, your father is scary. Do I have to talk to him?”
“Well, yeah, if you wanna get to Genosha.”
Kurt sighed and willed himself to just do it. He could do it, yes. It wouldn’t be so hard..
“Mister Magneto? I want to know how to get to Genosha..”
