"Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love, or just because no matter how pathetic the reason, it's enough to start a war. War will never cease to exist... reasons can be thought up after the fact. Human nature pursues strife."

"And another point," I shouted in happiness as I saw the ball going inside the basket.

"That's cheating Pietro. Your super speed is a cheat in sports. We can't even see you coming. I think you should stop using your power while we play basketball." Warren Worthington, aka, Angel said in annoyance as he panted.

"Na-ah, that's your problem, my friend. I didn't complain when you made the first point by flying with those huge wings of yours. Also, you are the one who said that powers are allowed in the game, remember?" I gave a cocky smile towards Warren.

Xavier's school had completely changed into a more peaceful version of itself. There hadn't been any attack for the last eight months. No protests against metahumans had taken place in front of the gates, and no child was kidnapped. Even the few spies sent by the organizations had quickly been identified and subdued with Zoya's help and Hank's upgraded state-of-the-art security technology.

On the contrary, the intake of metahuman students and staff had only increased and with Rudeus' huge funding, the school was quickly growing with new residential complexes being built inside the school for more students. The amount of funding the school was receiving could easily be compared to the biggest and most prestigious institutions in the country.

Xavier's school for the gifted had not only become one of the most reputed and famous schools in the US but also one of the most peaceful havens for young metahumans, second only to the country of Genosha.

Although Miss Ororo was saying that they wanted to change the school name to signify its recent growth and evolution. Maybe they could even name it something like Silver Heights or maybe Quick Academy. Yep, those would be the most appropriate names.

"Oh man, I can't believe we lost to Pietro of all people," Bobby said as he powered down from his crystal ice form.

Bobby was in a depression at first after being heartbroken due to Rudeus' rejection but recently he had come out of his depression. He has accepted the fact that he couldn't get everything he wanted in life and has moved on. In fact, according to some rumors going around the school, the man of ice is supposedly dating some rich hot-shot guy from the Frost family. Well, good for him, I guess.

"Yeah, it's almost the same as when we tried to play dodgeball against Wanda." Lorna smiled sadly as she remembered her utter defeat in the game at the hands of the Scarlet Witch. Wanda had hit her with so many dodgeballs at such impossible angles that she had almost lost count. She had aches all over her body for about a week after that day.

Me, Lorna, and Wanda had gotten quite close recently after we found out that all three of us were the spawns of the same magnetic dictator. We three had really similar tastes and likings and got really well with each other. Turns out that it's really fun when you have two siblings. I mean sometimes we do fight but it's mostly really fun having two sisters to watch your back.

And she was right. Wanda recently was getting really good at using her powers, especially her telekinesis part. Recently, she was even able to stop me from running when we had a mock battle in the danger room.

"By the way Pietro, you wouldn't know what type of flower your sister likes right? I mean I wanted to thank her for helping me with my fiery nightmares, so I was thinking of asking her out by buying her some flowers..." John, aka, Pyro started as he ran up to us, fire boosting his speed like some cheap low-budget jetpack.
