Chapter 156

"Stop them! Don't let them escape!" HYDRA soldiers shouted as they entered the cafeteria with guns in their hands, ready to kill the hostages if they couldn't prevent them from escaping.

"In your dreams!" I said as I released a wave of lightning at them, careful to limit the power of the lightning so they are not burnt alive by it.

My control over lightning was a little erratic at this moment because of the rage I was feeling at the HYDRA for keeping my parents hostage for so many years.

"Calm down! Don't rush." Kurt shouted as he teleported yet another overeager hostage who had almost run into another hostage, preventing the crowd from turning into a stampede.

"Please move to the portal slowly. There is no need to rush. The soldiers can't hurt you as long as we are here." I shouted to the crowd of hostages to assure them that they were not in danger.

It was at this moment that I barely saw a blur enter the cafeteria. Before I could do anything, it slammed into Mr. Logan, causing him to crash into a nearby wall.

"What the hell was that?" Mr. Logan cursed as he stood up, a little disoriented but unharmed otherwise.

"It was me!" A silver haired man declared as he seemed to suddenly materialise from thin air, even though I knew that he had merely stopped.

"Pietro, the son of Magneto! You are finally here." I said to Pietro, completely unfazed by his seemingly sudden materialisation.

"So, you already know of me. But you should not call me Pietro. After all, we are not that close. You can call me 'Quicksilver'." Pietro said, revealing his codename proudly.

"It doesn't matter to me what you call yourself, kiddo. White matters to me is whether you stand in our way or not?" Mr. Logan said as he pointed his claws at Pietro.

"Well, I always wanted to fight the famed Albion who defeated and captured my near invincible father." Pietro replied with a smirk.

"Let's see if you can match my speed!" With these words, Pietro turned into a blur, this time moving towards me.

His speed was indeed great but what Pietro didn't know was that I could track his location with my Dragon Sense and actually react to it even if I couldn't actually match speed without transforming into my draconic form.

As Pietro rushed towards me with full confidence in his super speed, I merely released a discharge of red lightning from my body once he got close to me.

Pietro actually managed to sense the sudden lightning discharge and tried to dodge at the last moment but even he was not fast enough to dodge the lightning. In fact, the sudden movement actually made him lose his balance as he was struck by my lightning.

This led to him flying away as he was hit by the lightning discharge and hit a wall.

"What the hell was that?" Pietro muttered as he slumped against the wall, unable to believe that he had been defeated so suddenly.

"How many times I have told you that you shouldn't rush— What happened to you, Pietro?" A reddish brown haired girl shouted as reached the scene and looked at Pietro's condition.

"Are you alright?" She immediately rushed towards Pietro and checked his condition.

Looks like she was Wanda, Pietro's sister even though they didn't look much alike. After all, Pietro had silver hair and her hair was reddish brown. Now that I think about it, Magneto had brown hair, meaning that they didn't even share his hair colour.

However, I could see similarities between her and the son of my alternate self, Magnus Parker. From hair colour to facial features, Magnus had inherited a lot from his mother.

"Just a little dizzy, Wanda." Pietro replied in a rather slurred tone.

"Take some rest, Pietro. I will handle everything here." Wanda said in a tone which promised pain for us as she stood up, a red aura slowly forming around her.

"All of you will pay!" Wanda said furiously as her body was shrouded in the red aura of Chaos Magic, turning her hair and eyes red.

"I don't think so—"

"Silence!"

As Mr. Logan tried to speak, Wanda pointed her hand towards him and he was suddenly wrapped in the red aura which slammed him into a wall.

"This girl sure is a little difficult to deal with." Mr. Logan muttered as he stood up, the slam clearly not affecting him much.

"Let me take care of everything, Wolverine. I know how to deal with her." I said, asking Mr. Logan to leave her to me.

"Really! You think that you can defeat me easily, Albion. Then, show me how you will do it!" Wanda said as she pointed her hand covered in Chaos Magic towards me.

A red aura suddenly shrouded my body yet I felt nothing. Just as Spider Supreme had told me, I was immune to Chaos Magic.

However, I could see that Wanda's Chaos Magic was too immature. See could only use it for telekinesis and perhaps a little more.

It was much different from Magnus' usage of Chaos Magic who could manipulate matter and magic as if they were mere toys. Perhaps that was the reason Ancient One had not been able to track Chaos Magic even after scanning the entire Earth. Wanda's Chaos Magic was simply too immature to be tracked.

"How? Why does my power not work on you?" Wanda said in a shocked tone upon seeing that her power was not working on me.

"You can say that I am just built different." I replied as I closed the difference between us in but a second.

Since Wanda was a girl and her Chaos Magic was quite volatile, I just couldn't punch her and roughen her up. So, I just slapped her on the face a little hard.

Wham!

It seems that the slap was already enough since the red aura surrounding Wanda disappeared and she seemed a little disoriented from the slap.

Still, I think that the slap was a little too much since her cheek had turned quite red.

"Did you just slap my sister?" Pietro shouted as he slowly stood up, his body still numb from the shock.

"Well, I couldn't punch her." I replied with a shrug.

"By the way, why did you join HYDRA? Did you not know how vile they are? They would create mutant clones only to put them through inexplicable horror and then brainwash them so that they could be used as mere tools. Have you not seen how they treated Laura? How can you still work for them after learning all these things?" I asked the siblings in a furious tone because it angered me that they would willingly work for such a vile organisation.

"Even Erik hated HYDRA and only reluctantly worked with them. Did you not know that it was because of HYDRA that he became his current self? Your father would surely but disappointed in you if he ever learnt what you did."

"Shut up! We only joined HYDRA because there was no other place for us. The Brotherhood disbanded after Father was captured. Being his children, you know how we would be treated anywhere. That was why we had to join HYDRA.

However, we didn't know that HYDRA was much viler than we had ever thought it to be. Trust me, we were going to leave HYDRA soon. We were only looking for an opportunity."

Pietro revealed their situation, trying to defend himself and his sister. At this moment, it was clear to them that they had no chance of victory against us. That was why he was explaining their past.

"If you only joined HYDRA because you had no other choice, then surrender. You have no criminal record. We will make so that you, at the very least, don't have to go to the jail." I said, offering them a chance to start their life anew.

"Wanda, I think we should take this offer." Pietro said to his sister who looked quite angry at this moment because of my slap.

"Fine!" Wanda said with gritted teeth, accepting the offer despite her anger.

"Albion! The extraction of hostages is finished." Kurt notified as he sent the last of the hostages through the portal.

"Since extraction is finished, it's time for us to start our onslaught." I said as I looked at the Wolverine clones entering the cafeteria, the only ones in the base who could still pose a challenge to us.

"Now, you are talking my language, bub!" Mr. Logan replied with a gun which seemed rather unsettling given that he was facing the clones who had the same face as him.

"Then, let's finish our job!" I said as I rushed ahead, planning to capture the base as possible so that I could return to meet my parents quickly.

Despite their unique powers, the Maximoff siblings have been easily defeated by Peter. Unfortunately, Peter's reunion with his parents would be after a few chapters.
