Chapter Text

It was an quit day in brotherhood house with was one of the rare moments.
Wanda was reading a book while Pietro and Toad where watching TV.
When all the sudden the doors open and Fred and Lance walk in the living room.
"Anything good on the tv?" Asked Lance as he sat down next to Pietro.
"Everything except the news." Said Todd while changing the chanel.
"I already know that on the news it only about that 'mutant are evil and the humanity should protect themselves against them'," Said Lance,"I swear i want to punch those reporters in the face so badly."
"Get in the line." Said Wanda not even looking up from her book.
"I'm in the line since day one." Said Lance.
"And i'm in the line since day zero." Said Pietro with an teasing voice.
When Todd looked up he saw that Fred was caring an box.
"Hey Fred what you having there?" Asked Todd as he jumped from the couch to have an closer look at the box.
"A box full with energy drinks." Said Fred as he opened the box to take out an energy drink.
"Where did you even get that?" Asked Wanda as she place down her book already expecting an stupid answer.
"Let just say it fell down the truck." Said Lance with an smile that said 'it didn't fall from the truck'.
"What did you do?" Asked Wanda as she stared at him knowing he had left few details out of the story.
"Let just say there was an earthquake." Said Lance with an smile that said 'yeah okay it was me.'
"So anyone want a drink?" Asked Fred while pulling out of the box drinks.
Pietro sat straight now, elbows on his knees hands under his chin and he looked like he was about to share some lore no one wanted to hear.
"When i was little my father never allowed me to drink caffein." Said Pietro while sounding like revealing some lore everyone wanted to hear.
"And here we go again with 'my father that' speech." Said lance as he got up to grab a drink."I'm probably going to need at least five drinks to survive whatever Pietro is doing now.
"Once he locked me in my room when i mixed coffee with water to drink it." Said Pietro looking all serious.
"I did not need or wanted to know that." Said Lance while questioning why he was still listening to him.
"Who in their right mind would mix coffee with water...?" Asked Todd while taking a sip from a drink.
"Pietro." Said Fred who was the only one that found this whole thing normal.
"I wouldn't say Pietro has a normal mind." Said Wanda already being tired of her brother stupid lore searing.
"Father would always say that caffein was bad for me while he was drinking coffee." Said Pietro.
"If I was stuck with you 24\7 I also would be running 100% on caffein." Said Lance who was one more dramatic dialog away from brining this house down.
"But you are stuck with him 24/7. Said Fred while looking at Lance like if Lance was stupid.
"That what makes this even more tragic." Said Lance questioning his life choices.
"Once when I drank one sip of coffee he tied me to the bed." Said Pietro.
"Okay.....I did not expect that one." Said Todd while he finished his energy drink.
"I knew father was strict but i didn't know he was that strict." Said Wanda not knowing if Pietro is serious or just dramatic.
"So you want a drink....?" Asked Fred while holding the drink for Pietro.
All the sudden Pietro dramaticly stands up and even more dramaticly stands on the table like he was about to lead an none existing revolution.
"All mine life i had to listen to my father telling me what to do with my life!" Yelled Pietro dramaticly like he was giving motivasion speeches before an war.
"Well he is your father after all...."Said Todd clearly trying to put some sense into Pietro.
"Now it is time! Time that i finally stand up and show the world that I won't let anyone boss me around!"Yelled Pietro as he quickly run off the table only to return two seconds later with an broom stick as he protented it was a flag.
"When he said his father tied him to the bed when he drank one sip coffee for a second I was with him, now he is loosing my support." Said Lance thinking like he is about to loose his mind.
"This is when i start my revolution where i become the boss of my life! This is where i show everyone that i can choose what good for myself without anyone to tell me what to do!" Yelled Pietro while waving the broom like it was a flag.
"What life choices did i make that ended with me being here....?" Asked Lance, regret clearly on his face.
"This is an amazing speech. Said Fred while giving an suport thumb to Pietro.
"My life is full of idiots...." Said Wanda who was questioning if Pietro was actually related to her.
"Fred give me the drink." Said Pietro as he jumped of the table and threw the broom almost hitting Todd.
"Dude look out!" Yelled Todd as he threw the broom back at Pietro but the broom completly avoided him.
"Now i will choose my own fate, my own everything." Said Pietro as he opened the drink.
"You sure it is a good idea?" asked Wanda while looking directly at Pietro," I admit father's parenting ideas can seen a little bit strict at first." Said Wanda.
"A little times infinity would be better discription." Said Fred while giving Todd an high five.
"But...."Continued Wanda while giving both boys death glare," tying you to bed seems a little to extreem. You sure there isn't a good reason why you weren't allowed to drink any caffein?"
"Nope," Said Pietro fast without a second thought," Even when i asked him he never bothered telling me."
"Don't you think it doesn't make sense that father would ban you from drinking caffein because he felt like it?" Asked Wanda.
"Don't know and don't care, always when I asked him he never told me anything so it probobly is one of his rules that exist to make my life worse." Said Pietro already opening the drink.
"Why is everyone making such a big deel about an energy drink?" Asked Lance not knowing why Pietro just didn't grab one drink without an random speech like he was leading an revolution.
"I donno." Said Fred.
"Beside." Said Pietro as he turned to Wanda."What could go wrong?" Asked Pietro with an teasing voice as he started drinking the drink.
"Always when a character in movies says 'what could go wrong' something always goes wrong." Said Todd.
When Pietro finished the drink he threw the empty can on the ground before he grabbed another drink and started to drink it.
"You sure it is a good idea yo?" Asked Todd while watching Pietro finishing a second drink in few seconds.
"I was robbed of that drink for years ain't no way i'm stopping at just one." Said Pietro as he grabbed third drink.
"Why do I have a feeling Pietro is doing something stupid?" Asked Lance as he stared at two empty cans of energy drinks.
"The day Pietro won't do something stupid is the day hes been replaced by an alien shapeshifter." Said Wanda as she sat back on the couch and picked up her book and continued reading it.
"Can't believe father never allowed me to drink this." Said Pietro as he run at super speed across the room." I feel great."
"Can you stop running around the house like an maniac it just a drink." Said Lance as he watched Pietro run around the room at supers speed.
"Yeahyeahwhateveryousay."Said Pietro super fast, almost no one understood him.
"Dude why are you talking that fast?" Asked Todd noticing that his teammate was speaking faster than usual.
"Pietro quit running like crazy around the house!" Yelled Lance while Pietro was now running threw entire house now instead of just living room.
"IsaidIwill!"Yelled Pietro back now even faster.
When Pietro did try to stop running he couldn't do it. His legs couldn't stop running like if they where possessed. He started to run faster and faster every second.
"GuyshowdoIstopit?!" Asked Pietro as panic started to hit him.
"You asking us how your powers work.....?" Asked Lance as he tried staring at Pietro like he was dumb but couldn't since Pietro was running around the house like a cheetah.
"ICAN'TSTOPITHOWDOISTOPIT!!!" Yelled Pietro as he felt like he was loosing control over his own body.
"Then run against the wall!" Yelled Lance clearly getting irritated by this thing.
"IDON'TWANTTORUINMYLOOKS!!"Yelled Pietro back from upstairs.
"Dude running like a cheetah on caffein...."Said Todd softly to himself.
"If you don't run into a wall to stop running I will hex you to another dimension!" Yelled Wanda as she got up trying to find Pietro around the house.
"Well i don't think hexing him is possible since he is running everywhere at once." Said Lance clearly being more than irritated with this day.
"MAKEITSTOPIWANTITTOSTOP!!!!"Yelled Pietro from bathroom, living room and kitchen.
"Then run against the wall!"Yelled Lance," Maybe the impact will stop you."
"MAYBE!?!?!?!" Yelled Pietro from the living room.
"It wouldn't kill you to try." Said Todd as he jumped on the couch.
"ITWILLKILLMYLOOKS!!!"Yelled Pietro from upstairs.
"In order to kill something it has to exist in the first place." Said Fred as he high five Todd who sat next to him.
"Run against the wall or I will destroy your closet including everything inside it!" Treaded Wanda him as she was not understanding why her brother was so obsessed with his looks.
"FINEBUTIFTHISDOESN'TWORKIWILLGETMYREVENGE!!!"Yelled Pietro while hoping it would work.
When Pietro tried running against the wall instead of compleatly stoping he just hit it and run another side of the room. The team stared for a seconds not understanding what just happened since it happened super fast.
"You sure he hit it....?" Asked Todd as he was noticing Pietro running still with uncontrollable speed upstairs.
"Well the wall did crack a little so i think he did." Said Wanda noticing the wall is a little bit cracked.
"You sure it wasn't like this before?" Asked Lance.
"YOUSAIDITWOULDWORK!!!!" Yelled Pietro irritated and disipointed that the wall idea didn't work.
"Not our fault you lost control of your powers all the sudden!" Yelled Lance as he tried in anger hitting Pietro with a pillow but missed completly since Pietro was already in another room before the pillow even was close to him.
"Guys....What if Pietro's powers are out of control because of the energy drinks." Suggested Wanda," He did start to run crazy fast after finishing his third one."
"That would explain why Magneto was against with Pietro drinking any, he probably thought or knew it would cause his powers to go so insane." Said Lance supporting Wanda theory.
"THENWHYDIDNTHESAYTHAT!!?!?!?!" Yelled Pietro as he run into the living room, kitchen, bathroom and in the living room again in under three seconds.
"He said you couldn't drink caffein!" Yelled Lance realizing they where in this mess because Pietro wanted to try three energy drinks.
"HEDIDN'TSAYTHATTHISWOULDHAPPENED!!!"Yelled Pietro as he run around the house even faster.
"And it would explain why Magneto tied Pietro up when he had caffein, he knew Pietro's powers where about to go insane." Said Todd completly convinced that this is because of energy drinks.
"Wait if father was scared that Pietro's powers would go insane after just one sip of caffein than how insane are they now?" Asked Wanda realizing this whole situasion was worse than she originly thought.
"HELPMEGUYSIWANTTOSTOP!!!!" Yelled Pietro from every room of the house.
"How are we supposed to do that?!" Yelled Lance as he was clearly completly enoyed by this situasion.
"Maybe we wait until Pietro stops running....?" Suggested Fred like if that was a good idea.
"How long can that take?" Asked Todd clearly thinking this was a good plan.
Lance quickly grabbed an energy drink from the box and started looking for a label, when he found it his face went from 'give me hope' to 'we doomed'.
"I know this face I know it so good. This face means this whole thing got way worse." Said Todd.
"You guys want bad news, terrible news or 'we defently cursed' news first?" Asked Lance as he read the label again making sure he was seeing it tight.
"IWANTTOKNOWWHENITWILLEND!!!!!"Yelled Pietro as he run twice threw the entire house before he finished his santance.
"Here is written that this drink is made of 150 mg of caffeine." Said Lance while making sure he read it correct.
"It isn't that much right?" Asked Todd not understanding why his friend was so worried.
"It is bad it is so bad." Said Wanda to herself as she realized that waiting for Pietro to stop running isn't an option anymore, not like it was an real option to begin with.
"An adult can have maximal 400 mg of caffeine a day." Said Lance to Todd like if Todd was supposed to understand it.
"But this drink is only made of 150 mg of caffeine and that less than 400.....I think" Said Fred not understanding why everyone is freaking out.
"Yes one drink is made of 150 mg." Said Wanda in an calming voice before switching it to more annoyed voice," But Pietro had three of those drinks because universe forbids anyone reading the label before giving the energy drink to an speedster."
"I don't get it..." Admitted Fred as he looked at Todd like if he knew.
"It means Pietro drank 450 mg of caffeine." Said Todd
"How? The drink was only made of 150 mg caffeine." Said Fred his voice sounding with smartness and stupidity.
"Well he is technicly wrong but also corect but also super wrong." Said Todd somehow understanding logic of his friend.
"GUYSIWANTTOSTOPDOSOMETHING!!!!"Yelled Pietro from litterly entire house at this point.
"We can wait until he stops running." Suggested Fred again like if this time anyone would agree to this plan.
"And here comes terrible news," Said Lance while looking at the label on the energy drink hoping it would magicly change," It written here that the energy can last over 10 hours."
"We can still wait." Said Fred somehow still thinking his 'waiting plan' somehow is useful.
"No we can't!" Yelled Lance realizing that not only he has to deal with an speedster now that completly lost control of his powers because he drank an energy drink but also an idiot who doesn't understand how time works.
"But why?" Asked Fred somehow still convinced his idea was a good plan.
"because it 3 pm, by the time he stops running it be 1 am." Explained Wanda to him already loosing the last bit of patient she had left.
"And?" Asked Fred still not understanding.
"IDON'TWANTTORUNUNTIL1AM!!!!"Yelled Pietro.
"Maybe we should tie him down like magneto did when he drank caffeine." Suggested Todd.
"Finally an clever idea." Said Lance relived that not everyone is an idiot.
"Only one problem with that," Said Wanda while crossing her arms," We have to catch him first."
The team looked how Pietro was uncontrollable running around the house, they realized that catching him is almost impossible, except for Lance he already lost his hope.
"Yeah....that a problem....." Admitted Todd as he was watching Pietro running around the house at super speed.
"So we wait until he stops running?" Suggested Fred yet again somehow still thinking waiting is a good idea.
"NO!" Yelled everyone right after those words left Fred mouth.
"Maybe we should lock Pietro somewhere?" Suggested Lance realizing they didn't have many options.
"IREFUSETOBELOCKEDASANANIMALDOYOUHEARMEIREFUSE!!!!!!" Yelled Pietro now even faster.
"Did you understand what he just said?" Asked Fred not having an idea what Pietro just said.
"Probably something stupid or annoying."Said Lance while mentelly planning where they should lock Pietro until his powers calm down.
"Guys I don't think locking Pietro up is a good idea." Said Wanda.
"ATLEASTSOMEONEUNDERSTANDSME!!!!"Yelled Pietro.
"I think it would be cleveler if we just knocked him out, before we even get a chance to lock him somewhere he already be out of there." Explained Wanda.
"Why do you always find flaws in our plans?" Asked Lance starting to get annoyed how every time they had a plan Wanda would ruin it.
"I'm just saving you struggle. You're welcome," Said Wanda," Now whose ready to knock out Pietro?"
"EXCUSEME?!?!?!" Yelled Pietro from upstairs and downstairs.
"I always wanted to day that." Admitted Wanda with an grin.
"And I always wanted to do it." Admitted Lance.
"WHYDOESEVERYONEHATEME?!?!" Wondered Pietro.
"Because now because of you we have to deal with an speedster that lost control of his powers!" Yelled Lance.
"After him!" Yelled Todd as he jumped to the door and spitted out some slim hoping Pietro would fall over that.
The slim made Pietro slip and hit the wall hard before running again difrent direction.
"I lead him to kitchen you block the way out!" Ordered Lance to Fred as he run to try lure Pietro to run into the kitchen.
Meanwhile in the hallway Wanda was trying and failling to hex Pietro. Every time she tried he outrunned it before it even got close to him.
"Pietro to the kitchen now!" Ordered Lance as he run to the hallway.
"I'MNOTRUNNINGAGAINSTTHEWALLAGAINDOYOUHEARME!!!" Yelled Pietro as he was running across the hallway uncontrolebly.
"I would argue with you but I don't know what you just said." Said Lance with an deafeted voice.
"I got this!" Yelled Todd from the ciling as he was trying to hit Pietro with his slime but failed as Pietro dodged it before it even was midway to the floor.
"If you want to stop this you need to stop moving!" Yelled Todd already getting tired of always missing his target.
"IWOULDIFICOULD!!!" Yelled Pietro back getting mad that his teammates didn't understand he couldn't stop running.
"Pietro run to the bathroom and close the door!" Yelled Lance when the idea hitted his head.
"ICAN'TSTANDINTHESAMESPOTFORLONGERTHANANMINISECONDANDYOUWANTMETOCLOSETHEDOOR!?!?!" Asked Pietro confused with the dumb idea of his teamate.
"Was it an yes?" Asked Lance as he picked up a chair trying to trow it at Pietro," Because it didn't sound like one."
"We trying to stop him from running not get him to the hospital!" Said Wanda when she noticed Lance with the chair.
"I thought we were nocking him out." Said Lance as he lowered the chair he was holding.
"I doubt a chair would hit him let alone stop him from running." Said Wanda clearly wanting this day to end.
"I hate this...." Said Lance as he put the chair to the ground.
"He is upstairs! Pietro is upstairs!" Yelled Todd as he jumped on the stairs to get upstairs.
"Maybe he will lock himself in the bathroom?" Asked Lance hopeful as he run upstairs.
"You still think that was yes?" asked Wanda As she fallowed him to the stairs.
"A part of me still hopes it will end as soon as posible!" Yelled Lance as he was running upstairs.
Fred was standing downstairs eating chips.
Meanwhile hallway upstairs was already covered in 50% in slime. Todd stud in front of Pietro's room sliming the door shut.
"Did he lock himself in the bathroom?" Asked Lance as he ran upstairs.
"No but he is in his room now," Explained Todd as he continued slimming the room.
"And I see you sliming the door shut." Said Lance as he stared at the slimed door.
"Finally an good plan, unlike the wait it out idea." Said Wanda as she run to the boys.
"See Babycakes I told you i'm the smart one." Said Todd while giving Wanda an romatic smile.
"Call me that one more time and i'm hexing you into the next friday." Threated Wanda as she crossed her arms and gave Todd an look.
While everyone was arguing the door started to shake like if someone was hitting on it to get out.
"ICAN'TSTOPRUNNING!!!"Yelled Pietro from his room.
"Did someone undrstand what he said?" Asked Lance looking at Wanda and Todd.
"Is it just me or is he starting to talk even faster?" Asked Todd as he looked at Wanda and Todd.
"He said can't and running so i assume he can't stop running." Said Wanda as she looked at Lance," and yes he is talking faster each minute with probobly means he be running faster every minute with means....."
Before Wanda could finish her santance door flew away and Pietro run out of the room.
Wanda and Lance run after him meanwhile Todd was still sitting on the ground half shocked of what just happened.
Wanda tried hitting Pietro who was running next to the stairs but missed every time.
When Pietro run downstairs both Wanda and Lance fallowed him right away.
"Don't let him get away!" Yelled Lance as he was skipping every few steps.
"I know." Said Wanda annoyed by her teammate .
When Lance ranned downstairs he used his powers to create earthquike to stop Pietro from running.
"HEYITWORKINGKINDA!!!"Yelled Pietro thinking the earthquicke might be slowing him down.
"Wanda now!" Yelled Lance when he noticed Pietro slowed down.
Wanda was about to hex Pietro when all the sudden Todd run downstairs and jumped accidently jumping on her causing her to instead if hexing Pietro she hexed the doors open.
"TOAD!!!!" Yelled Wanda In fury as she hit the ground with Todd in her back.
"Sorry Babycakes." Said Todd with this cute romantic tone.
Lance quickly run to them when he heard them falling to the ground.
"What happened?" Asked Lance when he looked at them.
"Todd." Anwsered Wanda looking mentally tired if her teamate and pushed him of her.
"Make sense."
"GUYSIDON'TWANTTORUINTHEMOMENTSACTALLYIDOBECAUSEIHATETHISBUTITHINKISTARTTOLOSECONTROLOFWHEREI'MGOING!!!!!" Yelled Pietro as he started to realize he stoped having control over where he was running.
"SPEAK SLOWER!!!" Ordered Lance loosing his mind whenever he tried and failed to understand what Pietro was trying to say.
Pietro started to run yet again uncontrolebly feeling he was loosing every bit of control he had left over his powers. Lance, Wanda and Todd stared at him not knowing what was now happening.
"What going on with him?" Asked Todd as he was looking at Pietro who was running back to wall to wall.
"We all been asking the same question since he drank the cursed energy drinks," Said Lance still questioning how did energy drink cause so much trouble, then he realized it might be because it was three energy drinks with each having 150 mg caffeine and avrege adult can have maximal 400 mg caffeine," Curse you energy drinks....."
"Maybe less cursing energy drinks and more stopping him." Said Wanda as she got up and looked at Pietro who clearly didn't have any control of his powers left.
During the chaos Lance finally noticed the front doors being wide open after Wanda accidently hexed them.
"Fred block the doors before Pietro accidently runs off, we at the point where even he can't control it!" Yelled Lance realizing if Pietro got out of the building chasing him would be imposible.
"Got it!" Yelled Fred from the leaving room.
He runned out of the living room but instead of blocking the front door he blocked the doors to the kitchen.
For a moment Lance, Wanda and Todd stared at him like he was dumest person alive.
And if Fred being an idiot wasn't bad enough Pietro against his will run out of the house.
"NONONONONONONONO!!!!"Yelled Pietro as he tried to hold onto the door but failed because he had zero control left over his powers.
Silance.
Lance stared at Fred like he was the reason everything that bad happened.
Wanda stared at Fred like he was the reason their porblems exist.
Todd stared at Fred because everyone else stared at him.
Fred stared at the empty chips bag he was holding in one hand.
"Why did you do this!?" Asked Lance while trowing his hands in the air in frustasion.
"You told me too." Explained Fred with an confusinfg voice.
"I SAID BLOCK THE FRONT DOOR NOT THE KITCHEN DOOR!!!!" Yelled Lance finally loosing his mind because if this day.
"But you said before that I have to block the kitchen door when you gave me the signel." Said Fred looking at Lance like he was the dumb one.
"YOU WHERE SUPPOSED TO BLOCK THE KITCHEN WHEN PIETRO WAS INSIDE OF IT SO THAT HE COULDN'T GET OUT!!!!" Yelled Lance loosing hope in his friend braincells.
"Ohhh...." Said Fred after realizing what he was supposed to do," Instractions weren't that clear anyway."
"Why? Why am I even trying to explain anything to you at this point?" Asked Lance himself realizing even a rock was smarter than his friend.
"So what now....?" Asked Todd still looking at the opened doors.
"I think we going after him." Said Wanda still mad at Fred.
"How? We weren't able to catch him in our own house. How do you espect us to capture him now? You saw how he got faster every minute! Before we know it he be running around the globe like it a marathon!" Yelled Lance finding this entire situasion imposible.
"I doubt he is close to the running on water phase, even if he was running around the globe phase might be far ahead of us. If we act now maybe we be able to catch him before he be running to Canada and back." Said Wanda starting to get worried about her brother.
"Even if we were go after him how do we know where he is?" Asked Lance while already imagining Pietro being in New Jersay.
Everyone was silance again trying to come up with an idea.
Then finally the silance was broken by TV.
"We welcome you all back to chanel 7 after the break." Said the news reporter on the tv," We start with the breaking news, people in Bayville had saw some silver thing showing up fast around the place, some say it a mutant, other say it a weapon, one person said it was and i quote 'my hopes for better life'. To insure saftly of everyone we will give regulare reports of where the mystyrios silver appears back to the weather...."
After the annoucment everyone stared at Lance like me magicly blassed them with sarcarms.
"I..I din't not expect that." Admited Lance staring at the TV.
"We going after him." Said Wanda as she headed to the exit.
"Even if we know where he is via the news catching up to him is imposible maybe x geeks can...." Before Lance finished his santance Wanda cut him off.
"If your not going than i'm going alone, Pietro is still my brother. Even if we get in fight and we hate each other I won't do nothing while he is hurt. If you want you can go if you don't then don't but i'm going." Said Wanda as she looked at her team before heading out of the house.
Boys look at each other for a moment before quickly fallowing Wanda outside.
"Look Wanda we get your worried and all we all would want to help, but how are we supposed to chase him? Look as soon as there is a way we would be able to catch him or even come close to his speed then i'm going, we all will. But until there it imposible for us to do anything." Said Lance clearly not wanting do not do anything but not knowing what do to instead.
There was a moment of silace between the group. For a moment it looked like none of them had an idea. As Wanda turned around to leave Todd spoke up."Maybe if Wanda could use her hex powers on an car to make it ride faster." Suggested Todd.Remember what she did on the train? You all remember what she did on that train."
"And it ended with the train crushing, look it an idea but also risky. We will crash. Even tho i'm a good driver i'm not that good to be able to drive at 200 miles an hour or whatever speed we be stuck with after Wanda uses her hex powers." Said Lance clrearly not liking the idea.
"Then i guess I be on my way." Said Wanda as she started to walk away.
"Well there is someone..." Said Todd.
"Are you talking about who I think your talking about?" Asked Fred as he looked at his smaller friend.
"After what you did i don't think you can think." Said Lance looking at Fred.
"Bro think about this." Started Todd as he looked at Fred
"He hadn't shown ability to think today at all." Said Lance crossing his arms.
"She is like an anti crash mode. She can drive threw a building and nothing." Said Todd.
"Wait do you mean...." Said Lance as his face got paler after realizing who Todd was talking about," No."
"But you like her bro, it be like an date." Said Todd whit an smile that said it all.
"She is an psychopath on the road!" Yelled Lance knowing what kind of driving skills she has.
"You mean her?" Asked Wanda as she turned around to look at the boys.
"Yup the one and only." Said Todd exitedly.
"It an terible idea." Protested Lance trying to reason with this team knowing well that some people aren't ment to be drivers.
"It great idea. Wanda will hex the car so it goes faster and your dream girl will drive it so it won't crush. What can go wrong?" Said Todd.
" She is terible driver, Wolverine's life flashed before his eyes when she was driving, Wolverine's life. She made that guy regret every life choice that led to that car.
"Sounds like a plan." Said Wanda clearly all abored with the plan.
"You supposed to be the reasonble one." Said Lance realizing he was his only ally left.
"Operation catch a speedster across the America edition!" Yelled Todd exitetly.
"I'm coming too..." Said Lance with an deafeted voice," But only because if I don't i get on a bad side of Magneto."
"But we have to steal a bus and get some snacks and get an radio." Said Todd while mentally making an list.
"WHY?!" Asked Lance just wanting this day to end.
"Do you want use Wanda hexing powers on your jeep?" Asked Todd while looking at Lance.
"Point taken." Said Lance.
"Operation catch speedster accross America edition can beging!" Yelled Todd exitetly," After we finish preparing for it."
"Why do i get a feeling 'operation catch speedster across america edition' will be something I be hearing a lot?" Asked Lance with even more deafeted voice.
"Because this is your life." Said Wanda.

Chapter Text

The brotherhood jeep pulled few blocks away from bayviele high. Todd and Wanda where the first to get out of the jeep, quickly fallowed by Lance and Fred.
"I thought we were going to a random gas station in middle of forest." Said Fred while looking at the high school.
"Why would we ride to a random gas station?" Asked Lance not understanding Fred logic.
"For snacks." Responded Fred like it made sense.
"We don't have time for snacks,"Said Wanda looking at both of them," We need to find Pietro before the breaks the sound barrier."
"And before Magneto finds out what happened." Added Todd while thanking universe for not having Magneto find out about that yet.
"Exactly. That being said," Said Lance as he turned around to look directly at Fred,"We do not have time for snacks."
"Can we argue about snacks later?" Asked Wanda inpaciently as she looked at the boys," I'm starting to regret not going after him alone."
"Wanda's right we don't have time for this right now." Said Lance ready to give out tasks and hopefully get this done before diner.
"So why are we here again?" Asked Todd looking at the high school.
"Because chasing Pietro with our jeep is almost imposible we need a way to go faster." Said Lance looking directly at Wanda," Wanda is going to hex one of the school busses so that it will ride faster."
"Why not hex our jeep?" Asked Todd. Lance got red a rose.
"I am not risking crushing my jeep because of Pietro's stupidity." Answerd Lance.
"So we steal a school bus and then we go get snacks?" Asked Fred.
"We are not getting snacks!" Yelled Wanda and Lance in union.
"Bummer...."
"So this is the plan," Said Lance glad they finally came to that part,"Todd is going to cause an disraction at the school."
"Why should I make a disraction?" Asked Todd.
"Because it will make for me easier to find Kitty and get her here." Explained Lance to Todd.
"I still think her being an dirver is a dead wish decision." Said Todd under his breath.
"But she might be the only one making sure we don't crash the car, with her phasing powers we be able to phase through objects in case we would loose control of the bus." Explained Lance again.
"You sure it isn't because you don't want to spend more time with your Kitty-Cat?" Asked Todd jokenly.
Wanda rolled her eyes before hexing Todd making him fall over few feet away.
"Back to the plan," Said Lance just wanting to get this done with," Todd is going to cause an disraction and i grab Kitty and get her here."
"What kind of disraction do you want?" Asked Todd as he jumped back to the group after being hexed by Wanda.
"Anything that might make for me easier to grab Kitty without anyone noticing, especilly x-men, we can't have them involved in this."
"But we getting Kitty involved...?" Asked Fred confused.
"Do you WANT to be part of a crash!?" Asked Lance who is just done with them all.
"I wouldn't mind crushing the bus." Said Fred happily.
"He meant like the bus going into an wall and crushing while we inside of it." Explained Todd to his bigger friend.
"So back to the plan before I get inturapted again by any of these two," Said Lance while looking directly at Fred and Todd," While Todd causes a disraction and I go and find Kitty Fred and Wanda are going to find an school bus and make it ready because as soon as we back with Kitty we going.
"What about the radio?" Asked Todd.
"There is an radio build in the bus." Said Lance loosing every patient he had left.
"But then how will we listen to music while driving?" Asked Todd.
"Do you want to be hexed again?" Asked Wanda looking at Todd directly.
"Anytime you want, babycakes." Said Todd giving Wanda a love glare.
Wanda then hexed him causing him to fly few feet away from them again.
"We don't have time for this," Said Lance while directly looking at Todd," 15 minutes and i want everything to be taken care of."
"Preparation for operation catch a speedster: across America edition has begon!" Yelled Todd as he jumped to the school.
"I will so hex him." Said Wanda looking at him.
"Then do it when we get this done," Said Lance looking at her before turning to Fred," 15 minutes and I want a bus."
Then Lance quickly run to school getting ready to find Kitty.
"And I want snacks!" Yelled Fred as Lance run off.
"We going." Said Wanda with a tone that didn't leave any room for discusion.
"Going where?" Asked Fred.
"To steal a school bus." Anwsered Wanda without looking back at him.

Few minutes after the plan discusion Todd was in school's gymclass trying to think of an way to cause an disraction
"Lance said it need to be something that can make is easier for him to grab Kitty without anyone knowing, so it has to be something that might make it hard to think straight or something that might make people panic a lot."
As Todd was thinking about the best way his eyes landed on an fire alarm located next to the emergancy exit.
"Disraction, causes panic, easiely to loose someone and is easy to make," Said Todd as he left the room and headed up the stairs," Boy am I smart.
Todd headed to second floor, to the libary. There he went straight to the computer section all the way accross the room while trying to avoid anyone seeing him.
While hiding behind an bookshelve the school bell ringed and all the studends in the libary went to the classes.
"Lucky me," Said Todd as he jumped to the computers. Then he realized his plan had an flaw, he didn't know how to start an fire.
"Ohh boy..." Said Todd trying to look for anything to start the fire. Then his eyes landed on an backbag left by one of the studends, he quickly jumped to it hoping to find anything that would help him start the fire. After opening and trowing all the items on the ground he found what he was looking for....a bottle of water.
"It just like universe want me to send start an fire." Said Todd as he jumped back to the computers. He opened the bottle an splashed the water onto few computers.
He looked at them waiting for fire but nothing happened.
"Wait isn't fire supposed to start right away."
When he jumped to them to look why they weren't on fire yet the first sparks started to appear right as he was looking at them, he quickly got away when he realized the fire was starting to appear.
Before he knew it one compute was on fire. Then the next one. And so on.
Right then the fire alarm got activated. And Screams of students floded the halway.
"The Chemistry class room is on FIRE!!!" Yelled an female student as she run throught the halway.
"Wait what?" Asked Todd as he jumped out of libery to see smoke from Chemistry class.
"You can thank me later for getting us out of the test." Said an female voice that Todd reconized.
He turned around to see Tabitha going to her locker and picking an bag before turning to Amara who was standing next to her who clearly did not like what was going on.
"Come on we both know that Ms. Anerson is an...." Tabitha stopped midway through her sente as her eyes landed at Todd, Amara quickly fallowed her gaze. Todd looked at them, they looked at Todd while a kid was screaming for some reson.
"Lance needed to pick up Kitty." Said Todd looking at them.
"We didn't want to take a chemistry test." Said Tabitha while looking at Todd.
"You didn't want to take the chemistry test." Corrected her Amara while looking directly at her.
"She would fail us anyway because we mutants." Said Tabitha.
"So Pietro drank few energy drinks and his powers are out of control. Do you guys want to go with us and try to stop him from breaking the sound barrier?" Asked Todd. While a random kid was running around for some reason.
"Sure, I doubt we have any school for today." Said Tabitha as she started walking downstaires with Amara and Todd going with her. While another random kid was screaming that history class was on fire.
"I never thought there will be a day where the chemistry class will be on fire and we see one of the bad guys in our high school for some reason and somehow we will be chill about it like it was normal." Admited Amara as she was heading downstair with the rest.
"You supposed to be calm during the fire, so we basicly fallowing the rules." Said Tabitha.
A boy pushed pass the group who was going downstairs.
"Run for your life!" Yelled the boy as he was running downstairs."It gonna explode!"
"Explode?" Asked Tabitha while having an questionble face.
When they reached the second floor they heard an loud explosion sound and it looked like there was more fire.
"Looks like dude wasn't making up stuff." Said Tabitha like she was talking about the weather and then was still causyly walking downstairs.
"WE ALL GONNA DIE!!!" Yelled Todd as he went from causyly walking to running down stairs like his life dependet on it.
"We getting out of here now!" Yelled Amara while grabbing Tabitha's arm and dragging her down the stairs faster.

Downstairs Lance didn't have any more luck. His search for Kitty was consently being broken by running students and fire alarm.
"We all gonna die!" Yelled a boy while pushing past Lance to the exit.
"Why is the fire alarm so laud!" Yelled a dramatic girl while covering her ears even more dramaticly.
"They better just be overreacting, because if Todd actually burned down this school he is so dead." Said Lance to himselve trying the find Kitty and leave this circus that people call high school.
"CHEMISTRY LAB EXPLODED!!!" Yelled a boy while running like he was a runner on olympic games.
"Either it was Todd or Tabitha and I hope it was Tabitha because I don't want a lecture about us being reclase by x-geeks." Said Lance while still trying to find Kitty.
"LANCE!!!" Yelled an angrily female voice.
When Lance turned he saw Kitty looking like this was his fault.
"Kitty listen before you get..."
"Did you really burned down school just to rescue me in hero style so that I would've go out with you!?" Yelled Kitty at him.
"I swear it wasn't me." Said Lance hating this day even more.
"Then why are you here?" Asked Kitty who wanted to belive him but at the same time she couldn't.
"We need your help," Said Lance as he grabbed Kitty arm," I explain rest outside."
"WE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!" Yelled Todd as he jumped from the stairs and started running and jumping to the exit.
"You have a lot to explain outside." Said Kitty while looking at Lance.
"And so will Todd." Said Lance as he headed to the exit while holding Kitty's arm.
From stairs run Amara while dragging Tabitha with her.
Amara was running to the exit still holding Tabitha's arm.
"It was just an explosion!" Yelled Tabitha protesting like she was not understanding while everyone was panicing.
"Maybe kids yelling about explosion wheren't being dramatic." Admitted Lance to himselfe. Kitty then phased through the arm he was holding her with and grabbed his other arm and dragged him to the exit.
When they were outside they could see smoke comming out of left side of the school. While most of the students where still panicking outside and screaming.
Lance's eyes landed on Todd, standing next to Amara and Tabitha.
"TODD!!" Yelled Lance as he yanked himselfe free from Kitty's grip and walk to where Todd was standing looking angry as ever.
"Job done, just like you said." Said Todd sounding proud of himselve.
"What does he mean with job done? Did you tell him to set school on fire?" Asked Kitty angry and confused while looking at at both Todd and Lance.
"I told him to make an disraction so that i could get you. I never said anything about making chemistry class explode!" yelled Lance angry at Todd while defending himselve at the same time.
"Hey Yo, I'm not guilty of making the explosion, that one is on Tabitha. I only burned the computers.
"TABITHA!!!" Yelled Kitty while looking at her.
"In my defense I just showed a teacher why you don't mess with mutants." Said Tabitha defending herselve.
"You just got her another reason to hate us!" Yelled Kitty at her.
"I tried talking her out of it but she wouldn't listen." Said Amara.
Kitty looked at Amara for two seconds while she visibly became more angry.
"You knew about her plan?!" Asked Kitty looking now at both of them.
"She told me to sit next to doors to get our more quickly," Said Amara while trying to defende herselve," She didn't tell me what why but I tried telling her to not do anything stupid."
"Tabitha's whole thing is being stupid." Said Lance who just wanted to move on and go back to the plan.
"Excuse me?!" Asked Tabitha not liking the disrespect she was getting from her former teammate.
"We lived togheter for few month and you blew up half of the house." Said Lance like he was presenting a case to court.
"My powers is making stuff blow up what did you expect?" Asked Tabitha not liking how everyone was attacking her.
"You know what, you blowing up chemistry class is not my problem at all,"Said Lance and then he turned and looked at Todd,"But you setting computers of fire is something we gonna talk about after..." But before Lance could finish Todd finished the sentence for him.
"Catch speedster: across America edition!"
"Okay what is going on? Because I'm not helping you kidnap anyone." Said Kitty while making it clear she doesn't want to be invloved with evil plans.
"It has something to do with Pietro drinking energy drinks and loosing control of his powers." Explained quickly Tabitha.
"TODD," Yelled Lance while looking at his teammate,"You weren't supposed to tell anyone about what happened!"
"It just happened," Said Todd trying to defende himselve," I just burned computers and when I left chemistry lab was on fire and people where screaming and then I saw Tabitha and Amara and they saw me and we were looking at each other."
"And now me and Amara are part of your mission." Said Tabitha exited.
"Fine, whatever I don't care. I just want this day to be over as soon as posible and pretent for the rest of my life like it never happened." Said Lance who realized that this was taking way to long than it should.
"I still don't get why you needed me for the plan," Said Kitty with questionble face expresion," Like wouldn't be totally smarter to get like Rouge or Bobby since their powers might help stopping Pietro?"
"This is brotherhood thing and it be done by brotherhood. We only needed you to make sure we don't crash the bus." Said Lance who really just wanted to pretend this day never happened.
"What bus?" Asked Kitty looking at him not remembering brotherhood owned a bus.
Just before Lance could start explaining that he send Wanda and Fred to steal a random school bus, a school bus pulled over next to them and Fred was driving it.
"Finally! Someone has done their task right!" Said Lance happily and then giving Todd a look.
"So you admit your job at finding Kitty didn't go acording to the plan." Said Todd while smiling at Lance.
"Technicly I found him and then I started yelling at him." Said Kitty admitivly.
"You getting inside or what?" Asked Wanda who is standing in the bus next to open doors.
Lance started to walk inside the bus glad that at least one thing didn't turn into a disaster.
"I admit I had some doubt when I assinged Fred to stealing a bus,"started Lance as he was getting into the bus," But I'm glad I did because..."Before Lance finished his sentence he was inside the bus and his face went pale as he saw how the bus looked from inside.
"I take back everything I said about getting that job done without chaos." Said Lance with a defeated voice.
"I was not expecting that." Said Kitty as she went to the bus and took a look inside of it.
"I missed that brotherhood chaos." Said Tabitha as she got inside inside the bus and took a seat at the back.
"Why are there half seats missing? Asked Amara when she got a look," And why are here vending machines?"
And sure enough on the left side of the bus instead of seats where two vending machines standing there.
"You said we be getting snacks after the job so after me and Wanda did our job I went to the school and grabbed them." Said Fred like it made sense.
"I respect that." Said Todd as he jumped to the vending machines.
"I don't think an opinion of the guy that burned down computers matters." Said Lance as he walked to an seat and sat there.
"HE DID WHAT?!" Asked Wanda while looking at Todd.
"Lance told me too!" Yelled Todd while defending himselve.
"I told you to cause a disraction not to burn down computers!" Yelled Lance back at him.
"I regret this day already." Said Amara as she sat next to Tabitha in the back.
"And I regret not staying in the burning school." Said Lance with a defeated voice.
"Lance!" Yelled Kitty as she hitted him on the head,"Don't joke about stuff like that!"
"Fine,"Said Lance,"But only because I know better than to annoy the driver."
"So like can you explain that plan of yours now?" Asked Kitty.
"Simple really," Said Lance while looking at her,"Wanda is going to hex the bus so that it will ride faster and you going to be the driver and just to be clear," Said Lance while looking directly at Fred and Todd,"If something would go wrong with the bus your phasing powers might be the only thing keeping ot from crushing."
"Nah bro I still think letting her drive is a bad idea." Said Todd while trying to open one of the vending machines.
"Would you rather be in a car crash?" Asked Lance while looking at Todd.
"Yes." Responded Todd without even a second passing.
"Well too bad I don't want to." Said Lance putting the seatbelt on.
Fred got up from the driver seat and then he walked to the back where vending machines where and ripped of the metal/glass cover that was on them and picked up a pack of chips. As Todd grabbed an bag of gummies and sat down next to an window seat.
Kitty sat down on the driver seat as she started to adjust the mirrors.
"Still can't belive you where okay with Fred grabbing those wending machines." Said Lance while looking at Wanda who was still standing next to the now closed door.
"He just went without saying a word and I was not about to waste time getting him back," explained Wanda while looking at Lance,"The only reason on why i have't just left without rest of you is because I can't drive."
"Everyone seat down and put on your seatbelt." Said Kitty calming as she looked at them via a mirrior.
"Now Kitty remmeber one thing," Said Lance as he looked at her," We want and need you to go over 80 miles an hour, make is 100 if you at it."
"Say what now?" Said Todd as he looked over at them.
"But there is an chance the bus will be going over 120 miles an hour after Wanda hexed it." Said Lance causully.
"Did you know about it?" Asked Todd looking at Fred.
"No." Said Fred.
"Knowing my hex powers it will probobly be 150 miles an hour." Said Wanda casually.
"I changed my mind yo, I want out of here!" Said Todd as he removed his seat belt and was leaving his seat to head to the door.
"Should have thought about that before you started calling this "operation catch a speedster: across America edition." Said Lance clearly enjoying this.
"Dude please let me get off." Said Todd practicly begging everyone to let him leave.
"150 km isn't that much." Said Amara while thinking what chips should she take from stolen vending machine.
"Miles ain't the same as km," Said Tabitha while starting making match in her head," I think it equal to something between 240 or 250 km."
Amara face went pale after hearing it but before she got time to react the bus started moving.
"Wanda now." ordered Lance as he looked directly at Wanda.
Before anyone else got an chance to panic or regret life choices Wanda hexed the bus and then sat on a seat.
For a moment bus wasn't going that fast but then all the sudden the bus started moving faster and faster and Lance started slowly realizing this was the worse idea they ever had.
"NOPE!" Yelled Todd as he jumped on an seat trying to put on as many seatbelt as posible.
"Maybe this was bad idea." Admitted Lance as bus started going faster and faster.
Before they knew it the bus was going all the way up to 130 miles an hour.
" I MISSED BROTHERHOOD CHAOS!!!" Yelled Tabitha while trowing her hands in the air.
"I MISS WHEN OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM WHERE X-GEEKS!!!!" Yelled Todd while trying to put on second seatbelt.

Right behind the bus some appeared with Kurt, Bobby and Rouge with it.
"They got away!" Yelled Bobby as he kicked a rock.
"I told you dis wouldn't work," Said Kurt trying to calm down his friend," De bus vas moving to vast."
"First they burn the school," Started Rouge as she looked at the way the bus diseapered to,"The they steal a bus and now they kidnapped Tabitha, Amara and Kitty!"
"Vait we sure it was the brotherhood that burned the school?" Asked Kurt while looking at them.
"Who else could would burn libary, chemistry class and history class?" Asked Bobby already knowing the anwser.,"Beside I saw in the hallway during fire that Lance was holding Kitty by the arm.
"And you did nothing because?" Asked Rouge looking at him.
"Because I was mentally debeting if I should stop Lance from kidnapping Kitty or stop Fred before he steals vandin machines."Explained Bobby trying to defend himself.
"De real question is iv Tabitha is back with Brotherhood or not." Said Kurt while trying to calm down rest of his friend.
"She is." Said Bobby without a second thought.
"I swear I heard her screaming about 'missing brotherhood chaos'" Said Rouge already planning revenge on her posible former teammate.
"And I'm almost 100% sure I heard Tabitha screaming that it was 'just an explosion." Said Bobby who was planning to freeze hid 'former' teammate's room.
"You fink it was her?" Asked Kurt not knowing if he should trust his instincs that Tabitha is not a traitor or his teammate claiming other wise.
"Maybe," said Bobby already planning his revenge," I mean her powers are making things blow up, who alse do you think could cause an explosion in MS. Anarson class. The class that Tabitha hate the most."
"To be fair you have to be nuts to like her." admitted Rouge,"but i'm not supporting her and her questionble and explosive life decisions."
"Can ve please call profesor and assemble an resue?" Asked Kurt who was worried about rest of his teammates.
"Profesor is in a meeting in another city he might not get here in time." Protested Bobby slowly realizing it was their's job to stop brotherhood.
"We don't have time to wait." Said Rouge who was taking Bobby's side.
"But what about Scott and Jean?" Asked Kurt not wanting to fight brotherhood only with three of them.
"They went with Profesor." Reminded him Bobby.
"Is there any reseanble adult left?" Asked Kurt really not wanting to do it on his own.
"Nah." Responded Bobby actally enjoying the fact they can have their own mission without any adults.
"We going now." Said Rouge with a tone that didn't leave any room for word no as she dragged both Bobby and Kurt to the x mension.
"Vine....."Said Kurt as he teleported himself, Rouge and Bobby to the x mansion

Meanwhile.......
"Where is everyone?" asked Ray while looking around himself not being able to find rest of his friends.
"I told you we should have gone with the rest." Said Samual while looking angry at Roberto.
"Hey I'm not about to leave school while my new gameboy is left there." Said Roberto defending himself.
"Did we just get abandoned?" Asked Ray noticing that most of the kids left school already.
"We did bro, we did." Said Roberto as he placed his hand on Ray's shoulder to comfort his friend.
"And it is because someone had to go back for their gameboy." Reminded them Samual, still angry at Roberto.
At that moment they saw firefighters trucks pull in and firefighters bolted out of there and run into the school to deal with the fire.
"Better late than never." Said Roberto sarcastic as he saw firefighters run into the school.
"At this point why even bother," Said Ray as the last firefighter run inside,"Half of the second floor is already burned down."
Since we left our books and our homework there, they most likely burned down already," Started Roberto looking at both of his friends now,"Maybe we should just go back to the mansion." Suggested Roberto seeing no point about why they should still be there.
"First we go to the new restaurant that opened few blocks away,"Said Samual looking directly at Roberto,"Of course out if your pocket since you the reason we were left behind."
"And then we go back to the mansion, watch some tv and celebrate that our homework is no longer readable." Said Ray while putting his hands behind his head.
"And not a word about what happened during P.E." Reminded them Roberto looking like he means busnieses.
"As long as you pay for the restaurant all is forgotten." Said Samual putting arm around his friend.
"What P.E lesson?" asked Ray while joking and messing with others."I don't remember anything anusaul happening during a P.E lesson."
"Exactly that a plan,"Said Roberto with an smirk,"First we go out to eat, then back to the mansion and then we act like my little 'accident' during P.E lesson never happened."
"Wait so we allowed to still talk about P.E lesson now?" Asked Samual whit a smirk.
"Hey don't push your luck, it was an accident remember,"Reminded him Roberto,"Beside nothing bad had happened because of that."
"Yet." Said Samual teasing with his friend.
"I said don't push your luck." Said Roberto giving a friendly slap on Samual's head.
