CHAPTER 1 : THE POTION

"What do you need?" Rogue asked incredulously into the telephone. "Can't you ask Kitty? ah don't really understand science."

The voice on the other end of the phone said something else and Rogue sighed. "OK, OK. ah'll see if McCoy's got any. Phone ya back."She put down the phone and went into McCoys lab. In the cupboard, rows and rows of bottles greeted her, all labelled neatly. There were so many of them, it might be ages before she could find. . .Wait! There!

Rogue snatched the bottle and quickly exited the lab, hoping that she could replace the liquid before it could be missed.

"Thanks!" Wanda grabbed the bottle from Rogue. "You know, couldn't find this stuff anywhere."

"Yeah, because they've sold out of sulphuric acid in Wal-mart." Rogue followed Wanda into the house. "What do you need it for anyway?"

"I'm casting a spell!"

"Right, sure you are."

"It's true! I'm not just called the Scarlet Witch because of my bad temper, y'know."

Rogues curiousity got the better of her. "What's the spell for? Can I
watch?"

"Yeah, if you want."

The two girls went up to Wandas room as the girl told Rogue all about her idea. "I read in one of Agathas books that if I mix this potion, I can use it as a repellant. If I put several drops of it around my door, it keeps away all reptiles and anphibians."

"Like Toad?"

"Exactly. One more drop of slime in my underwear drawer and I'll go insane."

"So, is this stuff dangerous?" Rogue glanced doubtfully at the mixture.

Wanda had used Lances helmet to mix it in. Avalanche would not be happy when he found out.

"Only if you drink it, inhale it or get it on your skin." Wanda dumped the contents of the bottle into the concoction. "There, should be perfect now. .

"."

"Sweetums!"

"GAAH!" Wanda leapt up and hexed Toad, who had suddenly appeared in her window. Toad was thrown backwards with a scream. Wandas sudden movement dislodged the helmet, its content beginning to slop over the sides.

Realising this couldn't be good, Wanda hexed the bowl, hoping to change the probablity of it being harmful to them. Rogue dived out of the way as the mess tipped onto the floor. . .

Pietro heard the yelling and explosions from up the stairs and groaned. It was a common occurance in the Brotherhood house, but today Wanda had a visitor, an X-Man visitor no less. The last thing he needed was a pissed off Logan turning up at the door because Rogue had been injured.

An instant later, he was outside Wandas room, hammering at the door. "What's going on in there?"

"Nothing!"

Pietro frowned. That was defiinatly his sisters voice, but she sounded - odd, different somehow. He pushed open the door, deciding that it was his job as leader of the Brotherhood to check. Normally he'd have just left her to it, but any excuse to look important in front of Rogue was a welcome one. Not that she ever seemed to notice. . .

The scene that greeted him inside was one of chaos. There was some kind of brown liquid all over the floor - looked like she'd been using Lances helmet to mix potions again, did she enjoy him shaking the house down or something? The window was broken, no doubt from a stray hex-bolt and Toad could be heard outside, groaning quietly. Bu it was the rooms occupants that really alarmed him.

A little girl with long black hair about 3 years old and a petulant expression ran over to him and tried to push him out of the room. "I TOLD you never to come in my room Pie! Never-never-never! I'm telling Daddy!"

He remembered this kid. It was his twin sister as she had looked many years ago, when they were little more than toddlers.

On the bed sat another little 3 year old girl, watching him with wide green eyes. Her knee long hair clearly bore white streaks at the front.

"Wan? You got any candy-canes?"

"Me want choc-choc! Pie, get me choc-choc!"

"NO! Candy canes!"

"NO! Choc-choc!"

Pietro backed out of the room while the girls argued and closed the door quietly behind him. Suddenly he really wished Lance was back in charge. . .

" Pietro whats going on in there " lance asked wondering who the voice belonged too." and who are they " lance said again looking at the two girls coming down.

" wan? who are they ?" said rogue

"I know thats my brother but he's to old strange isn't it" said wanda

"who are you people " demanded rogue.

" I just told you thats my brother" said wanda

" no them" rogue said pointing to the others.

" i'm lance and your our little sister " said lance

" mama raven ,she blue and can change into anything , she gave meh clothes but this isn't mah dress can me and wanda get some clothes pwease ?" said rogue

" sure what colors do you want i'll go to the mall and get them " said pietro

Wanda and rogue looked at each other and said" blue" at the same time. and pietro came back with underwear and the blue dresses with black flower designs on them.

"thanks" said wanda and rogue pietro gave them the dresses and ushered them to the restroom and they changed and came out and they looked cute .

"Roguey you ready to go home " said lance

" sure are you all coming to bring meh home " said rogue

"of course lets buckle you two up and lets go"lance said as they got into the car and took off and 10 minutes later they arrived at the institute and rang the door bell and evan came to the door .

"maximoff what are you doing here................... rogue oh my god " evan said as he saw a little girl with striped hair in lances arms .

Evan let them pass and then lead them into the living room, and evan said.

"Professor weve got a problem"everyone turned to evan and saw to little girls in the arms of lance and pietro.
