The metal spheres landed in front of the large metal dome, Adrian's landing slightly harder than Magneto's on the ground. Magneto's sphere opened, and he stepped out. Instantly, his sphere flew off, and he stared up at his dome with a small look of admiration. He lifted his hands with his palms facing the dome, and a hole peeled away in the metal.

Magneto turned, as if only just remembering Adrian, and flicked his hand at the sphere, opening it up.

Adrian gave a slight cringe as he felt the sphere he was in make contact with the ground. The corner of his eye twitched lightly in irritation, muttering about the lack of an 'open' button in the thing, when the metal at last began to part and he was met with the starlit sky.

He glanced about as he made his way out of the sphere, his eyebrow quirking slightly when he came face to face with a giant metal dome.

'Why am I not surprised?'he thought to himself with an internal snicker. With a light shake of his head he made his way over to Magneto, following him inside.

"So, just what exactly do you want me to do?" he asked, waiting until he was certain that there was no one else in the immediate area. "As you can see, I've already made my attempt at getting Shay to leave. What makes you think that you'll be able to make her leave without breaking our agreement?"

"Your attempt was foolish and reckless," Magneto said bluntly, as they walked. "As your appearance suggests, anyway. You attempted to force her, yet you want her to want to leave."

He paused as they reached a door with a keypad. He pressed the combination, and the door whooshed open to reveal a computer terminal. "You aren't the only one I can use, after all." He walked over to the terminal and pressed a few buttons. Miles away, in bayville, a communicator beeped to life inside the brotherhood boarding house.

"Your attempt at forcing her failed. But you'll have the chance to be the loving big brother you so desperately want to be, when I turn everyone against her. Starting with Pietro."

Magneto drew in a breath as he thought back on what Adrian had said, and ever since then he had been silently angry, devising a way to punish Pietro, and just now he had sent a signal to Pietro's communicator, signaling him to come to the dome.

Adrian stopped, a swarm of mixed emotions beginning to churn in his gut.

"What do you mean 'turn them against her'?" he asked, his voice sounding somewhere between angry and fearful. "I...I mean, they cause her so much trouble as it is...wouldn't they drive her away on their own?"

Though he could easily see the light at the end of the tunnel of Magneto's plan, he wasn't sure that he wanted his sister to have to go through that.

"Besides, turning them against her would no doubt hurt her," he added tartly. "Not physically, but there would still be harm..." He suddenly stopped, a sudden realization striking him of exactly what Magneto said. "...But I would be able to make it right for her. I would be able to be there and make sure that she didn't. That's what you're getting at, isn't it?"

"It should be clear by now that they are not going to drive her away," Magneto said, staring Adrian in the face.

Magneto listened to Adrian with a patient air, yet on the inside he was frustrated with Adrian. Choosing his words carefully, Magneto said, "I will be honest. Inevitably she will be hurt." and he added, "No, not physically." to prevent an angry outburst.

"You know Shayna, she without a doubt loves them. Turning them against her will hurt her, no one can stop that initial hurt. But yes, your goal for me- and as her brother, is to be there for her. To give her that comfort and love you want to give her. After all, what is a small hurt compared to the lifetime of happiness you and the Mercers will give her?" asked Magneto. "Is it not worth it?"

Adrian opened his mouth to speak, but shut it less than half a second after. The question was probably the easiest, yet hardest thing he'd ever been asked before.

Of course he knew what he wanted to say. He wanted to look Magneto dead in the eyes and scream that yes, of course it was worth it. Anything would be worth it, if only she could be guaranteed a lifetime of happiness. She would be happy with the Mercers, he knew. They had always asked Adrian about how she was the numerous times he'd called them since moving to Bayville. They've always expressed the urge to meet her, to formally welcome them into their home, to give her access to opportunities she would never otherwise have.

And yet...he knew also just how much the Brotherhood meant to her. The fight alone was proof enough of that. He knew she'd never willingly leave...he just couldn't for the life of him understand why. They really did just bring her nothing but trouble (as far as he was concerned), took advantage of her...and now it seemed that what he'd said to Pietro in the backyard hadn't been nearly as off as he'd thought. Apparently he really did keep in contact quite a bit with his father...enough that it could be dangerous to Shay if she stayed with him.

Anger burned inside him at the thought; of Pietro being selfish enough to let his desire for his sister put her in the heart of trouble. He hated him for it. 'But he'll pay for hurting her one day, he bitterly assured himself. 'That day when she's no longer there to take care of him, or the others.

And so it was that with all of those thoughts running through his head, Adrian was finally able to look Magneto in the eyes and say, "...Yes. Yes it is." and mean it.

"Good," Magneto said. He turned his back on Adrian and walked over to the computer terminal again. He stared at the screen as a mark on it bleeped, showing the current location of Pietro. Magneto didn't want to tell Adrian that Pietro was coming, in case it cause unnecessary drama, but the fact it was taking Pietro so long made Magneto angry.

He turned back toward Adrian. "Your sister has quite the leadership skills," Magneto said, almost grudgingly. Never before had he seen someone so young have so many loyal followers. "I have to say, she's singlehandedly united those kids like they've never been before. It's impressive."

Adrian gave a light scoff, crossing his arms lightly over his chest as he leaned up against a wall and glared into the distance.

"I don't understand why she cares about them all so much," he said, not really speaking to Magneto as much as to himself. "I mean, that's all it really is. She hasn't done anything more than put the weight of running that place on her shoulders...practically by herself, since I haven't seen anyone else in that place bringing in paychecks for them all to live off of." He shook his head lightly, his eyes going darker in displeasure. "Though I suppose that's exactly why they're all so loyal, isn't it? Who wouldn't be when she's keeping them all--Pietro!?"

In the second it took the speed demon to skid to a halt beside his father, Adrian had pushed himself off of the wall and was halfway across the way. "What the hell are you doing here!?"

[back at the Boarding house]

Pietro scrunched up his face as he carefully removed the last pickle from his sub. Pinching it between his thumb and index finger, he held it away from himself, carried it over to the garbage and released it.

"Goddammit, Shane. I said no pickles!" He yelled, hoping the blonde would hear him upstairs. Pietro did one last search of the sub's contents, then folded it closed and took a bite. He made another disgusted face as he found he could still taste the pickle juice that had soaked into the bread. "I hate pickles."

Heading up to his room with the sub, he opened the door to his room, and walked in. He was about to sit down on the bed when he heard a barely audible beeping noise.

"Oh." Pietro rummaged around his room, finding that the beeping was coming from his laundry hamper. He dug through the clothes, throwing them about the room in his frantic search. "Crap... where are you..."

Finally, Pietro pulled out the small beeping device and pressed a button on it.

"Base? He wants me at the base? I gave a report barely a week ago. Why would he..." Pietro racked his mind for anything that his father had mentioned last week. Maybe it was an emergency then? In a blur, Pietro was suddenly in full uniform and out the door with a yelled "I'm going out!"

----------------------

Pietro entered the passcode and entered the base, taking off at full blast again, still worried that it might be an emergency.

...suppose that's exactly why they're all so loyal, isn't it? Who wouldn't be when she's keeping them all--Pietro!?"

He skidded to a halt, his eyes landing on Adrian. Before Pietro had the chance to figure out what was going on, Adrian had already stormed halfway across the room, yelling at him.

"What the hell are you doing here!?"

"Excuse me? Shouldn't I be asking you that question?" Pietro raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at his father, giving a look that said he would appreciate an explanation.

He didn't see why it should be surprising that he was there with his father, but Adrian? Why on earth was he at the base? It was the last place Pietro would ever expect to find him. And on top of that, it appeared that he had been having a civil conversation with Pietro's father. Was this a new development, or was there a lot that his father wasn't telling him? Pietro wished his father would trust him more, since it sometimes seemed that he only told Pietro as much as he needed him to know, and nothing more.

"I don't need to explain myself. Though I would like to know why you called me here," he said, turning to Magneto as he spoke.

"Now is not the time for your arguing," Magneto said, speaking in a loud, commanding tone. "You certainly do need to explain yourself," he said, looking at Pietro with an expression of harsh disapproval. "As for why he is here, it is between myself and Adrian. For now, at least."

Magneto turned to Adrian, "If you could excuse yourself, I would like to speak to Pietro. Alone."

Adrian's gaze flicked to Magneto briefly, giving him a grudging nod of agreement. "As you wish...Magneto."

He turned to leave, but before he moved another muscle his eyes moved back to Pietro. A hundred different emotions were there, swirled and mashed into so many forms that there wasn't a single word that could be used to describe the feeling. There was one in particular, however, that didn't quite fit the norm. One little emotion that was so distinct for reasons beyond the fact that it stood out from the anger and warning: regret.

Without saying a word to the speed demon, he broke the gaze and made his way down the hall and out of sight.

Pietro waited until he heard the loud metallic clang of one of the steel doors slamming shut behind Adrian.

"As you wish?!" He repeated Adrian's words incredulously. "Since when does he practically bow down before your every command?"

Pietro looked at his father with an angry and at the same time curious. Had his father been keeping more secrets from him, or was it possible that Adrian had been working for him for some time now? Pietro doubted it. This must've had something to do with Shay... and apparently Pietro himself as well. Pietro recalled the incident on the front lawn of the Boarding House. Of course his father would have found out. He had already known he would be punished to a certain extent or at least severely reprimanded. Could Adrian have possible gone to find Magneto to tell him on purpose? It seemed so unlike Shay's brother, and Pietro shook his head. It couldn't have been.

"What do I need to explain myself about?" Pietro smoothed his features, though his shoulders tensed. He already knew the answer to his question.

Magneto ignored Pietro's first question as he stared Pietro up and down with a look of simmering anger. "You recall," Magneto began, keeping his voice calm yet coated with malice, "All the times you've reported to me, and yet dodged a certain...subject."

"it just so happens that there was someone more willing to discuss the matter than you," Magneto said."And so tonight I seized the chance to learn more, and it turns out he had something to share that I had not foreseen, yet in hindsight makes much more sense than I would like to admit."

Magneto narrowed his eyes as he said, "Is it true that you are dating Shayna Delacroix?"

"You recall," Magneto began, keeping his voice calm yet coated with malice, "All the times you've reported to me, and yet dodged a certain...subject."

Pietro could taste the thick fear on his tongue as he swallowed. He bowed his head in admission, not daring to interrupt. He had known Magneto wouldn't be happy. It wasn't like he hadn't expected him to find out eventually, but now that Pietro was in the actual situation, all he wanted to do was run... far, far away from the terror that was his father.

"It just so happens that there was someone more willing to discuss the matter than you," Magneto said."And so tonight I seized the chance to learn more, and it turns out he had something to share that I had not foreseen, yet in hindsight makes much more sense than I would like to admit."

Pietro felt anger flood his senses. So Adrian had told him. Pietro made a silent promise to cause the other boy considerably more pain than the last time... or simply unleash Marina and do nothing to stop her.

"Is it true that you are dating Shayna Delacroix?"

"Yes," Pietro tried to answer simply, as if he had never been trying to hide that scrap of information from his father. "Is there a problem with that? You know I date girls all the time. You've never had a problem with any of my other relationships, and you know I've had..." Pietro stopped as if making an effort to count. "... Many."

"Yes, there is multiple problems with that," Magneto stated, folding his arms. "Problem number one: As many times as we have discussed the things going on at the boarding house, not once did you mention her, or the fact she was another one of your play things." Magneto did nothing to hide the anger in his voice, nor did he care that his blunt words would possibly anger Pietro.

"Problem number two..." Magneto narrowed his eyes, "Did I not leave you in charge of the brotherhood? Yet why have you stepped down, leaving everyone to follow that...child," he spat the word, "in charge? Your goal was to lead them, yet it is you who is being lead. Shayna's level of control is dangerous."

Magneto drew in a breath, revelling in the fear he was causing Pietro. "She needs to be removed."
