They X-Men and Brotherhood came back to the mansion.
"Pietro, Wanda, there's something you need to know," said Ororo.
"We know," said Wanda. "That woman wasn't our mom."
Ororo nodded sadly.
"She didn't make it, did she?" asked Pietro.
"I'm sorry."
"I lost my mom again. I almost died. Why do bad things always happen to me?"
"You have bad luck?" said John.
"Not helping, Johnny," said Remy.
"Today was a rough day," said Pietro. "I need to be alone for awhile."
He walked into another room. Laura followed him.
"Pietro? Are you going to be okay?" asked Laura.
"I'm not okay now." He looked Laura in the eye and gave her a small smile. "But I will be eventually. As long as you'll always be by my side."
"You know I will. And not just me. You have a sister and lots of friends there for you."
"Thanks, Laura."
Pietro pressed his lips against hers. Laura kissed back.
They continued to kiss until they heard someone clear their throat.
"I'm going to let this go just this one time because you had a hell of a day," said Logan. "But next time you better watch your ass, kid."
"Right," said Pietro. "Whatever you say, Logan."
Logan exited the room.
"So much for him never finding out," said Laura.
"Oh well," said Pietro.
They smiled at each other.
The Brotherhood was spending the night at the mansion. Everyone was asleep but Pietro.
He kept tossing and turning in bed.
'I can't stop thinking about the clones. Are they okay?'
He got out of bed and got dressed. Pietro opened the window and jumped out. He spun around as super speed and landed on his feet.
'I need to find Q1, Q0, Wietro, and Quickneto and make sure they're okay.'
He thought about where they'd be.
Pietro stood out the Brotherhood house. He turned the knob and went inside.
The clones were in the living room.
"You found us," said Q0.
"Yeah," said Pietro. "I thought since you guys are my clones, you'd think like me. I thought after everything, you'd all wanna go home. And this house is my and the others' home."
"How is Ioannis?" asked Wietro.
"He's alright. He's going to start school at Bayville High. Lance is going to tell everyone he's his cousin."
"That's good. He'll have a normal life."
"And you guys?"
"I plan on moving to Canada," said Quickneto. "Live in a small village. Start a new life."
"Me and Q0 are going to continue to stick together," said Q1. "We'll travel 'till we find a place to settle."
"What about you?" Pietro asked Wietro.
He shrugged. "Dunno. Haven't decided yet."
"You could always stay here. You can be my cousin."
"Thanks, but no. I caused you enough trouble."
"But I want you to stay. I want all of you to stay."
"It's better if we went our separate way," said Quickneto.
"I'm going to miss you all."
Wietro hugged Pietro. Quickneto did too. Pietro lifted Q0 up and hugged him.
Pietro looked at Q1. His head was turned, looking away from Pietro. He lifted his hand up. A small gesture saying goodbye.
Pietro smiled and did the same.
'Everything will be okay,' he thought.
The End.
