Your P.O.V.
It was finally Thanksgiving break and you could finally go home. Your family missed you a lot. They had a big welcome home party in your honor. They invited Natalie's and even Peter's family to it. It was really great to be home even though there was one thing missing. You made your way over to Wanda who was standing by the stairs.
"Hey, how are you and your family doing with the whole Peter thing?"
"Not as bad as I thought, but it sucks that we can't visit him though.."
"What do you mean?"
"Well they said he was transferred to a juvenile facility where they don't allow visitation."
"Really? Damn I was hoping I could visit him during this vacation.."
"I'm sorry.."
She gave you a quick hug as her mom walked over to you.
"What are you two talking about over here?"
You broke away from the hug and faced her.
"Just, Peter..."
She slightly smiled at you.
"Yeah I miss him a lot too..."
You gave her a hug in comfort.
"They won't even let us talk to him?"
She broke the hug and placed her hands on your shoulders.
"No, the guy who runs the facility is really strict. "
"But c'mon let's go enjoy this party."
Then she walked away to the crowd of the party. Wanda turned away too but I pulled her back for another question.
"Wait, how did Peter end up in the facility?"
"I don't know some guy offered him that instead of prison."
"Just some random guy?"
"Yeah?"
"That doesn't sound suspicious to you at all?"
She took a moment to think.
"I never realized that till now."
"Yeah exactly, what was the guy's name anyway?"
"I don't know I'll go ask my mom."
She walked towards her mom to ask her the question. You examined the crowd of the room. Your mother was happily socializing with Natalie's parents. Natalie was playing with your little brother Travis. Clare and Lorna were not so subtly testing out Lorna's powers. You laughed as you saw Wanda walk back over to her.
"Hey did she say?"
Your happiness faded as you saw her expression. She looked like she just saw a ghost or something. You placed your hand on her shoulder to break her out of her trance.
"Wanda?"
"Y/n, we have to get him out of there."
"W..why?'
"He's with Stryker.."
Your eyes grew wide in shock.
"What?! What is he doing with him?"
"He has probably been experimenting on Peter this whole time!"
"Wanda, we have to get him out of there now!"
"How?! My mom doesn't know where it is?"
"We need someone who is good at tracking or finding out where things are."
"Where the hell are we going to find someone who could do that?"
"I've got an idea."
You immediately ran out the door to your house to the Maximoff house. Wanda followed you out close behind.
"Y/n, where are you going?"
You ran into the house towards the basement.
"There was the guy."
You both walked down into Peter's room as you started going through his things.
"What guy?'
"This guy called me saying he had a school for mutants and wanted to know if I was interested in attending."
You moved over to his nightstand and started rummaging around.
"And?"
"He said he had the ability to communicate with other people like us and Peter has his card somewhere."
"Why would he help us?"
Then you found his wallet and pulled out the card.
"Yes! And maybe he's a nice person and he owes him a favor for breaking Magneto out of the pentagon."
You started walking back up the stairs into their garage.
"Wait, my brother broke our dad out of the pentagon?"
"Yes."
Your eyes glanced over to Wanda's mom's car.
"Are you gonna steal my mom's car or something?"
"Well my mother isn't going to let me take hers."
"Y/n, you can't just leave your welcome home party! I'll go."
Wanda grabbed the keys to her mom's van and walked over to the car door.
"No, Peter could be in trouble I can't just sit here and do nothing!"
Wanda sighed as she unlocked the car. You both went through the side doors.
"Okay but tell our moms we are doing something else, I don't want them to worry..."
"Okay I can come up with something let me out at my house and I'll tell them, don't leave without me."
"Yeah okay."
She backed out of her garage then stopped in front of your house. You hopped out of the car and ran inside. Your mother immediately ran up to you.
"Where did you go honey?"
"Wanda and I have to go help her friend Ruthie with something, we will probably be back today or tomorrow.."
"What? You just got back! Why can't Wanda just go?"
"I'm sorry mom, but she needs me too..."
Your mom sighed as she looked down at her feet.
"I'll be back for Thanksgiving okay?"
"Okay... just be careful."
"I will. mom."
She pulled you into a hug.
"I love you."
"Love you too."
You pulled away from the hug and waved goodbye to your siblings. As you walked out of the house Wanda signaled you to hurry up. You got into the car and she turned the key.
"So your mom just lets you take her van?"
"Nope."
Then her mom ran out of your house.
"Wanda!"
Wanda hit the gas and you were off. You watched her mom on the car side mirror as you drove away.
*Later that day*
Wanda pulled up to a school with big gates at the entrance.
"Is this the right place?"
You read the sign which said Xavier's school for the Gifted.
"Looks like it."
She parked the car in front of the school as you both got out. You walked through the gates and saw what looked like a mansion.
"This place is huge!"
"Yeah doesn't seem like a bad place to go to school."
You both opened the doors of the mansion as you watched students scurry down the hall. You had never seen so many mutants in one place.
"Excuse me, can I help you two?"
A tall man with brown hair walked over to the two of you.
"We are looking for Charles Xavier, is he here?"
"Oh yes, I can show you to his office."
You and Wanda followed the man down the halls of the school.
"What are your names?"
"I'm Wanda and this is y/n"
"Nice to meet you two, I'm Hank."
"Thank you for showing us his office."
"It's no problem, what do you need to talk to him about?"
"We need his help."
"With what?"
"My brother is in danger but we don't know where he is."
He stopped in front of a door which you assumed was Charles office.
"What kind of danger?"
"We don't know exactly."
"Well I'm sure Charles will be happy to help."
He opened the door to the office to peak in before closing it.
"It looks like he's meeting with a student, are you guys okay with waiting for a bit?"
You both nodded before taking a seat on the chairs by the door to his office.
"So is your brother a mutant?"
"Yeah."
"What are his powers?"
"He can run really fast."
"Wait, Peter Maximoff?"
"Yes! Do you know him?"
"Yeah I met him once, I didn't know he had a sister."
"We are twins."
"That's cool and how do you know Peter?"
He turned towards you.
"He's my... best friend.."
Wanda scoffed at your comment.
"They have a thing."
Hank laughed a little bit at her statement. You looked down and blushed a little. Then a red-haired girl sat next to you on the extra chair. She smiled at you before looking down at her hands.
"Hey! What's your name?"
"Jean."
"Nice to meet you Jean, I'm y/n."
You reached your hand over to shake hers. But when she reached over her hand she winced in pain before putting it back down.
"Are you okay?"
Hank walked over and knelt in front of her. She started crying as she held her arm.
"Jean, can I see your arm?"
Jean extended her arm towards Hank. He rolled up her sleeve to reveal a big gash in her arm. You gasped as Hank examined the cut.
"Who did this to you, Jean?"
"I can't say."
"Jean, if someone is bullying you, you can tell me."
"No, I don't want them to get in trouble."
"Jean.."
She stayed silent as more tears ran down her face. You watched as Hank looked at her gash with a worried look on his face.
"Hank, I can help."
"What do you mean?"
"Jean, can I see your arm?"
She hesitantly moved her arm towards you. You grabbed her hand in comfort before focusing on her arm. Her gash slowly healed as Hank's eyes got wide in fascination. Jean stopped crying and smiled at you.
"Did you do that?"
"Yeah, that's my ability I can heal people."
Hank grabbed Jean's perfectly healed arm and looked at yours.
"That's incredible!"
"Yeah but the side effect is the pain comes along with it. But don't worry it doesn't stay."
You touched your arm and winced in pain.
"What's going on here?"
A guy in a wheelchair came towards Jean and Hank.
"Jean is getting bullied again but it went farther than before.."
The man wheeled himself closer to Jean.
"What happened Jean?"
"My.. my roommate injured me using her powers.."
"What? Where's your injury?"
"I healed it."
You chimed in as the man looked over to you in confusion.
"And who are you?"
"Sorry, I'm y/n y/l/n."
"Are you new here?"
"No, I'm here to talk to Charles Xavier actually."
He reached his hand out to shake yours.
"It's nice to meet you y/n, what would you like to talk to me about?"
Your eyes grew wide as you shook his hand. You let out a slight smile as did he.
"Um, I was hoping you could help Wanda and I with something."
"Okay, why don't we talk in my office, Hank can you help Jean."
Hank nodded before helping Jean up.
"Wait."
You exclaimed before you guided Jean towards you. You bent down in front of her as you placed your hands on her arms.
"Jean, I can tell you're a strong little girl and I don't know why you're being bullied..."
"I can't control my powers.."
"So? You will eventually besides your powers are part of you and you can't change that. It's who you are, embrace that and they won't be able to get to you."
She pulled you into an embrace as you squeezed her tight. As she broke away she gave you a smile before walking off with Hank. You got up and walked back over to Charles and Wanda. Charles smiled widely at you.
"So Wanda just explained everything to me and I'd be happy to help."
"Can you figure out where he is?"
"Yes, I will just need to go down to Cerebro."
"Cerebro?"
*A little while later*
You and Wanda followed Charles down to a blue lit corridor. He wheeled down to a circular door at the end of the hall. He scanned his face in an x shape. The circular door opened into a bright blue room. A bridge lead to a platform with what looked like a control panel. Charles wheeled up to the panel and picked up a helmet looking thing. As he placed it on his head the whole room lit up. You and Wanda bent down in shock. Then you examined the room and there bright lights everywhere.
"What.."
You sputtered out as they moved throughout the room.
"These are the humans of the world and these..."
All the white lights in the room turned dark red.
"are the mutants."
"And you can do this all with your mind?"
"Yes and if I carefully concentrate I should be able to locate Peter."
You watched as Charles looked through all the mutants. Then it stopped as Charles hesitated to speak.
"Charles? What's going on?"
"He's still alive..."
You knelt besides Charles to examine his expression.
"But?"
"He's in some sort of contraption..."
"Contraption?"
"It's hurting him. I can feel his pain."
You and Wanda exchanged worried looks.
"Where is he?"
"I can't seem to get an exact location."
You ran your hands through your hair in worry as you turned away from Charles.
"Peter?"
You turned around as Charles said his name. He gave you a comforting look as he touched your arm in comfort.
"I can communicate with him."
You bent down next to Charles again as Wanda came to the back of you. You both listened intently to the one sided conversation.
"Peter?"
"It's Charles"
"I'm trying to help you."
"Yes you do."
"Yes, y/n is here."
You grabbed Charles's arm in shock.
"What's he saying?"
His finger formed in a one second sign.
"I can't stop her from doing anything, that's her decision."
"Yes, technically I can but that doesn't mean I will."
"Peter, where are you?"
He paused for a moment before speaking again.
"I think I know where that is, we will be there soon Peter."
"Don't worry she will be fine."
"They are both strong girls they can probably take care of themselves."
You and Wanda gave each other an annoyed look.
"Tell Peter we will be fine."
Charles laughed before repeating what you both said. Then he slowly took the helmet off of his head. All the light shut off as the whole room lit up again.
"Where is he?"
"He's actually not that far."
"Okay let's go."
"Let me go get Hank and we can all go."
You and Wanda looked at each other in confusion.
"You don't have to come with us."
"Mutants need to stick together and the facility we are going to is heavily guarded. You're going to need all the help you can get."
Charles looked over to you and smiled. You gave him a faint smile back. Something about him was familiar to you and you couldn't figure out what.
