Pietro sighed as he stood near the front gates of the school, he had heard of what had happened to this place. While he had fits of anger and rage and was trying to settle down in New York, he just couldn’t stay in one place for long, and he packed up what he had and moved again. He found himself somehow lured to the place. He did feel bad for the children on how they had been so innocent in these times, in fact it made him think of his own daughter Luna, he still cared for her, but knew it would have been better if he wasn't around. Luna was something of a half breed of a mutant and an inhuman but her mutant powers were canceled out and there was no chance of that happening, but he still wanted her to have powers at some point, and eventually she did. He had found it hard to believe now that it had been almost a year since he had seen her.
He still had many questions in his mind now such as wondering what would have happened if he attempted to join the school. He thought instantly that they would make him an outcast because of who he was related too, many wouldn’t have trusted him. But the other side of him had hope he had left his evil intentions and the Brotherhood long ago, denouncing his father as his actual father and that was all the proof he needed.
But he felt like the only thing holding him back was fear; he had no courage to walk through these steps. So he felt like the best thing to do now was to wait. Maybe he might join their ranks, but it would certainly be awhile. So he decided it was best if he just left before anyone spotted him. But he got one last glance of what was left of the mansion front, it was empty as far as he could tell.
“I guess I better go before someone spots me.” Quicksilver thought to himself as he glanced back once more at the school gates, and began to leave to he had done so with the double take, to make sure if no one was following him. He had no idea really if anyone had been following him or not. He was clueless and lost in his thoughts.

Jason had been using one of the outer training grounds around the mansion for fitness training to make sure that the students were in proper physical condition. After this was done he decided to take a walk around the grounds to relax after all it was a nice day out so he figured it couldn't hurt. As he made his way to the front of the building he noticed a figure near the front gates of the grounds and decided it would be better to check it out and it be nothing. Then to let it be and walk away later to find out that it was something very very bad he quickly closed the distance from his location and the front gate. As he got closer he noticed who the person was Pietro Maximoff Magneto's son and this put Jason slightly on guard.
He reached the gate and summoned a slight grin as he spoke to the young speedster."Well now Mr Maximoff I must admit it is a pleasant surprise to see you here.I trust your here for a social call"? Jason said this with a slight grin on his face as he gave Pietro a quick once over to see if he was here for a fight or just to visit hell maybe he was here to join them but Jason held such thoughts till he heard the mans answer.

“I had heard the recent troubles that your team has been put through. I don’t really know what lured me here, but it wasn’t hostile tensions, that I promise.” Pietro said as he looked up at the person who had spotted him. He guessed he was probably a member of the X-Men being that he had just left the front gates. But what kind of help could he offer the team? He just stormed off from the Inhumans several months ago and anger was really the only thing that was keeping him in his silence. He sighed as he took in a breath of air to speak his truthful words to this member.
“I want to join but I doubt I have much to offer. I feel like I’ll be an outcast if I do.” Pietro said with a bit of fear in his words as he tried to hide it the best he could, he knew an empathic would easily pick it up at this point. He didn’t know how well this person would take it, so he braced himself for the worst, if he wanted him to run to get away from here, he would do just that. He wouldn’t think twice of looking back, it would probably be the last time he set foot on the mansion grounds. But if he said yes…what would become of that? He wasn’t entirely sure of it. But he had recalled one other thing that he had wanted to persue the good guys now, to at least show them that he had changed. There was a chance, he at least hoped, that they would see this in him.

Jason allowed himself to relax slightly when Pietro answered his question as to why he was at the mansion. He couldn't help but grin as the man said that he had hoped to join the X-men but was plagued by the one thing that could stop even the most battle hardened warriors doubt. He doubted that he had anything to offer the team if he joined them and that he would be treated as an outcast due to his past. Jason couldn't help but feel for the guy worried about how people would judge you because of something you did in the past even thought you tired to make up for it. Jason then closed his eyes for a second to think on what Pietro had said carefully. He had detected fear in his voice and some sincerity in the words that he had spoken.
He sighed as he thought over what he could do in this situation he could run Pietro off and by the way he braced himself that's probably what he figured was going to happen. Jason opened his eyes and a lone thought went through his head 'Oh I'm probably gonna get my ass chewed out for this but Charles always said that everyone deserves a chance at redemption and who is this old dragon to disagree'. With that Jason locked eyes with Pietro and spoke. "Pietro no matter what you may think their is always something you could provide to the team. After all their is something that only you can do that could help others".
With that Jason took a few steps forward until he was standing with in arms reach of him before continuing to speak to the young man. "What you did I'm sure some of it you regret but you did it out of love of you family and when your father went to far you parted ways from him. Everyone deserves a second chance and if I turned my back on you now and left you on this path alone I would be kind of a hypocrite. With that Jason extended his raised his right hand and offered it to Pietro and smiled. "So I'll do the one thing I can i'm not offering you charity i'm offering you a new path to take towards tomorrow".

Pietro felt a pause between the two as he was trying to figure out what to do, his eyes carefully watched Jason before he could decide on anything really. But as he thought about it was a second chance was all he really needed? He was grateful if it was the answer, but felt like it had been a bit more than just that. He brought his own right hand forward as he reached out for Jason’s, it seemed like he had ignored the hesitation and the fear in his voice, it perhaps had disappeared.
However as Pietro put his own hand against Jason’s he felt it was still very tense, was he still afraid that they might treat him like dirt for things that he had no control over. ‘Relax, if those days come, I will find a way to deal with them.’ He said to himself in an attempt to calm his body down. He understood he was trying something new and there were often pathways that he might not understand or anything to offer but he had to at least try. He took another breath but let this one out slowly this time, eventually his tense hand finally relaxed more comfortably.
He felt his own eyes fall onto Jason as he spoke up again, “Thank you, I promise I will try my hardest here… and you gained yourself a mutant that is probably the fastest when it comes to running. Of course you may have already known that.” He said well aware that his name along with his code name had become infamous to certain parts of the world. In fact he had wanted to go back to his country that he had grown up in but being that he hadn’t seen Scarlet Witch in awhile he decided not to do it. He wanted to go back with her but seeing there was no chance of it happening now. He also wondered what had gone on there since his last visit. Who knew what could had happen?

Jason smiled as Pietro shook his hand and agreed to Jason's offer to join the team he couldn't help but smile. He began to lead the way towards the manor and he assumed that Pietro followed him. He lead the way so that people would know that Pietro was a guest and wouldn't get attacked by the Students or the teachers. Jason couldn't help but chuckle at Pietro's running comment it was well know that Pietro was fast or Quicksliver as he was codenamed. Jason kept his pace as he walked while he ran over thoughts in his mind.'I'm probaly gonna get chewed out for this one'. With this thought in mind Jason glance over at Pietro while and then spoke."Don't worry about the others Pietro i'll talk to them and well get this sorted out.
With that Jason gave the young mutant a smile to try and calm him down as they reached the entrance to the main hall to the manor.He gave Pietro a quick smile then spoke once more."Now normaly were suppose to give you a welcome speach but I already gave one so I'll just say. Welcome to Xavier Institute For Gifted Youngsters.

Pietro was also aware that some of the students or staff members might have a grudge on him due to what he had done in the past. But when he had served Magneto it was mostly out of fear, if anything he would have gone back to living alone and a quiet life with his sister, but seeing that she wasn’t around much he had no choice but to live out as a loner and by himself. The last thing he wanted to do was to go back to his father. But he wondered in the back of his mind, was there a chance that he would perhaps leave this team? He had already done it twice now. However he shook the thought away, knowing that it was way too far to tell, if he was going to leave. He had followed Jason wondering where he was leading him, but he was sure he would find out soon enough. However he stopped and that prompted Pietro to do the same, “Thank you.” He said feeling relief in his voice, the last thing he had worried about was being attacked by a group of students that he was completely unprepared for.
He looked up seeing that he and Jason had entered the main room of the mansion that was usually crowded with young kids roaming around, but it seemed rather silent, it was odd and a bit eerie to him. He turned after looking around the room knowing that he could probably explore every room this mansion had to offer probably in about twenty minutes and it might take longer if he walked normally. Though in his opinion, of course, that was boring.
“I suppose so,” Pietro said knowing that he had just thanked Jason a few minutes ago. Oddly he felt his body still tense as he tried to relax it, why was he doing this? Was he expecting some of the students or staff members to treat him as an enemy? Why was he not calm?
