"Todd," Pietro said, arms crossed, eyes narrowed. "What are you doing with my laptop?"

"I, I, uh, see, I was, um, I was just, heh, yo see, Tro, I-"

"Stop stuttering and answer the freaken question!"

"I'm sorry! I took it and looked at your data base!"

"YOU WHAT?" roared Pietro. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?"

"I'm sorry, dawg! I was curious! I wanted to see if you had any dirt on Magneto or anyone else we hate! I know I shouldn't've done it! I tried not to! I'm really sorry, Pietro!"

"You should be sorry! How could you go snooping through my stuff! And what if someone knew you had that laptop? Do you know what could happen if that information in that data base ever fell into the wrong hands? Like Magneto! Or HYDRA! Or any other evil force! I can't believe you, Todd! How can I ever trust you!"

Todd's eyes started to get teary. Pietro's face soften a bit.

"I'm sorry," Todd said in a small voice. "I just wanted to know. You're my hero, Tro. You the only one who cares about me. Even when you weren't here, you looked out for me, making should I got something to eat and stuff. I wanna be just like you."

Pietro started at Todd, no longer angry at him.

"I didn't know you felt that way."

"No one gives a shit about me. No one but you. I'm weak, but you're strong. And smart. And fast. The girls love you. You're perfect."

"I'm not perfect."

"You're pretty damn close, yo."

"I'm flattered you think so highly of me. But don't think so low of yourself. You're not weak, Todd. You're one of the strongest people I know. I'm not just saying that. I love ya, Todd. You're my little brother."

Todd smiled. He hugged Pietro and Pietro gave him a hug back.

"Hey, I'd like to know," said Todd. "That stuff you got in your data base. How do you know all that stuff? You probably know that mutant stuff because of Magneto, but what about the SHIELD stuff and the aliens?"

"I wanna be an Avenger someday," answered Pietro. "And the Avengers are allies with both SHIELD and the Fantastic Four. I'm really good friends with both Spider-Man and the Human Torch."

"The the future and alternate reality stuff?"

"Forge."

"Ah. I see, yo."

"So, what do you know?"

"Lots of stuff. Ask me anything and I'll know."

"Alright. What is Genosha?"

"An island nation where mutants live in peace. It's not a real country yet, but Magneto will make it one. He'll be the king of Genosha. He wants to isolate mutants from the rest of the world."

"Where is it located?"

"The island is located off the east coast of Africa, to the north of Madagascar."

"What is Wakanda?"

"Wakanda is an African country, like Genosha. But unlike Genosha and Madagascar, Wakanda isn't an island. And it's an a mutants only kinda place like Magneto is making Genosha. Wakanda is located in Northeastern Africa, although its exact location has varied throughout the nation's publication history."

"What is Vibranium?"

"Vibranium is a rare, naturally occurring meteoric ore, theorized to be extraterrestrial origin, that has been found in two distinct varieties. Vibranium is not as hard or dense as Adamantium, but it is still very durable. It is also easier to make objects out of, such as the mesh costume the Black Panther wears.

Wakandan Vibranium is found almost exclusively in the tiny African nation of Wakanda. Wakandan Vibranium, through as yet unknown means, absorbs vibratory energy in its vicinity, such as sound waves, within itself. The apparent observable vibratory rate of the molecules of the Vibranium itself does not noticeably increase when the Vibranium absorbs mechanical energy. The outside vibratory energy is stored within the bonds between the molecules making up the Vibranium. As a result, a chunk of Vibranium which had absorbed a considerable amount of vibratory energy would be exceedingly hard to demolish. If enough force were were applied to this chunk to smash it, the Vibranium would explode, releasing much of the absorbed energy. There are limits to the capacity of Vibranium to absorb vibratory energy, although the exact extent of these limits has not yet been determined."

"What is Adamantium?"

"Adamantium is a very dense, artificial, iron-based alloy that is virtually indestructible. A sufficient amount is capable of surviving multiple nuclear explosions with no damage. A pure blade of Adamantium is capable of cutting almost any known substance, with the known exceptions of Adamantium itself and Captain America's shield. The ability to slice completely through a substance with an Adamantium blade depends upon the amount of force being exerted and the density of the material in question.

Creating even a small amount of Adamantium is astronomically expensive, and only a few people know the complete formula. Adamantium is created by mixing certain chemical resins together. The exact composition of these resins is a closely guarded secret of the United States government. When these resins are mixed and kept at a temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit, the resulting liquid can be cast or worked into a particular shape. After eight minutes, the mixture sets and becomes solid. Its molecular structure is extremely stable, and its shape can only be altered by precise molecular rearrangement. However, due to the sheer density of Adamantium, there are few known forces capable of altering it's molecular structure."

"Is X-23 a clone?"

"Not a clone; a genetically-enhanced copy halitosis. There's a difference."

"How did Spider-Man get his powers?"

"He was bitten by a genetically enhanced spider. Which would make him a Mutate, not a Mutant."

"What's the difference between Mutants and Mutates?"

"Mutants and Mutates are different because Mutants get their powers by nature. Mutates are people who were mutated. Then there are Simples like Summers's friend Paul and Nightcreeper's girlfriend Amanda who have no powers."

"Which doctor is a member of my family in the universe Earth-616?"

"Doctor Henry "Hank" Jonathan Pym AKA Ant-Man, Giant-Man, Goliath, Yellowjacket, and when his wife dies years from now Wasp, then back to Giant-Man."

"Looks like you know a lot."

"Yeah. I do. And I promise not to tell anyone."

"I know you won't. You're not a blabber mouth. I trust you."

Knock-knock. Lance opened the door.

"Hey, Tro. Could you help me now get ready for my date?"

Pietro smiled. "Of course. It's a leader's job to look after his team. Right, Todd."

"Right, yo," said Todd, smiling.

That's the end. The reason I wrote this story is to inform readers. See, I tend to use comic stuff in my stories, so I'm introducing people who aren't that familiar with the comics.

If you want more info. about the X-Men and other Marvel stuff, then go to this website. (marvel .wikia .com) (No need to the spaces in between.) This website has everything about Marvel Comics and all the characters.

If you read any other stories of mine and I for get to say if a character is a comic one or an OC, then go to (marvel .wikia .com) to find out.

Thanks for reading.
