Chapter 154
"You really managed to convince her, Peter. I had honestly thought that it was a lost cause." Kurt whispered to me once we all gathered after Laura was convinced.
"You saying something, blue boy!" Laura asked in a rough tone as she heard Kurt's whisper.
"No, nothing!" Kurt answered, rather fearful of Laura's wild personality.
"Anyways, tell me what I have to do. I can't stay here for long as I have to report back." Laura said, asking what was our plan.
"You just have to lead the way. I will follow behind you in my invisible form. Once you take me to where your 'Mom' and 'Dad' along with the rest of the hostages are, I will be able to extract them from the base." I revealed our plan.
"Then, what are we waiting for? Follow me!" Laura said anxiously as she slung a wolf's corpse on her back, clearly wanting to free her 'Mom' and 'Dad' as soon as possible.
"Calm down, girl! No need to hurry so much." Mr. Logan said, stopping Laura.
"First, tell us what is the base's strength. Are there any other mutants inside aside from the clones? Any weapons we need to be aware of." Mr. Logan asked.
Since Laura was his blood, he was dealing very carefully with her even though he had never met her before this day. This behaviour was completely unlike his actual personality.
"I don't know anything about weapons but a side from the clones, there are Pietro and Wanda who are mutants. Pietro has super speed and Wanda has telekinesis." Laura answered.
"And you didn't deem this information important enough for us to know.". Scott said sarcastically.
"I was going to tell this information on the way." Laura said with a blush, defending herself.
"Pietro and Wanda, to think that Magneto's children were here." Ms. Ororo said after learning who these two mutants were, shocking all of us.
"Magneto's children! Why did you hide such an important fact from all of us?" Jean asked, hurt that the teachers had hidden the fact that Magneto had children who were even mutants.
"It was not our intention to hide this information. It just never came up." Ms. Ororo defended herself.
"According to Mystique, the relation between Magneto and his children has never been good. As such, vi var searching for them to see if there was a chance that we could get them to join the X-Men. To think that they joined the HYDRA." She said with a sigh.
"Do you think that you would be handle them if you ever needed to engage them, Peter? Even though you are quite strong, Pietro's super speed is something we have never seen before." Kitty asked worriedly since I had to infiltrate the base.
"Don't worry, Kitty. No matter how fast Pietro is, he can't be faster than my lightning. Besides, my reflexes are more than strong enough to react to his super speed." I assured Kitty.
As I talked about Pietro's super speed, my mind inevitably went to his sister, Wanda. Where had I heard this name before? Then, the answer suddenly crossed my mind like lightning.
(My name is Magnus Parker, the son of Peter Parker and Wanda Maximoff.)
"Does this Wanda uses a red energy for her telekinesis?" I hurriedly asked as soon as I remembered who were Magnus' parents.
"How did you know?" Laura asked with an expression of surprise, thus confirming my words.
"Fuck!" I cursed as I confirmed Wanda's identity.
"Is something wrong with this Wanda, Peter?" Mr. Logan asked worried upon seeing my expression.
"Remember Magnus Parker. He inherited Chaos Magic from his mother, Wanda Maximoff." I explained.
"Is she really the same Wanda?" Ms. Ororo asked with a grave expression, realising how serious Wanda's identity was.
"I can't say for sure since Magneto didn't exist in that world. What I know for sure is that Chaos Magic manifests as a red coloured energy which this Wanda uses." I answered.
"So, what to do with this Wanda?" Ms. Ororo asked me since I was the one who knew the danger of Chaos Magic the best.
"We should capture the base first. Once the mission is over, I will bring Wanda to Ancient One and she will decide what to do with her." I answered after some thought.
"Are you coming or not? It's getting late. The soldiers could get sceptical." Laura said to me since our discussion had wasted quite some time. However, she didn't seem to be interested in our discussion regarding Wanda even the slightest bit perhaps because she was anxious to free her 'Mom' and 'Dad'.
"Alright, guys! I am going." I said to everyone as I casted an invisibility spell on myself.
"Good luck, Peter! Hope everything goes as planned." Ms. Ororo said, bidding me goodbye.

"We are almost there!" Laura whispered to me with her smile which she immediately hid so that no one in the base felt that anything was afoot.
However I would say that her smile was rather unnerving since the blood from the wolf's corpse was still on her clothes and some drops were even left on her face. This bloody look added to her wild personality made her look so ferocious that must of the soldiers in the base naturally stayed away from her which was only beneficial to us.
Still, even if she tried to hide her happiness, I could feel it all too easily. It must be because she was finally going to be free from this prison along with her adopted parents.
My infiltration was going smoothly till now and we were already near the laboratory area. Now, all I had to do as to meet Laura's 'Mom' and 'Dad' and confirm if they were actually hostages or rather HYDRA's agents.
If they were in fact HYDRA agents, I would unfortunately have to betray Laura and make all of them unconscious since I couldn't afford any risks.
I still had no idea how many hostage scientists there were in the base and I had to find them as soon as possible. Because the attack on the base could only begin after I sent all of the hostages away through a portal. Since it was an important mission, I had a little leeway in the public use of magic.
We were almost at the lab when my Dragon Sense suddenly rang. The warning was so strong and sudden that all I could do was follow my reflexes and dodge to my right before a silhouette passed through where I was.
"Well, if it isn't little Laura." A voice sounded as a silver haired young man a few years older than me suddenly appeared before us.
No, not appeared, but rather slowed down! The earlier warning was because this man had almost hit me because he couldn't see me in my invisible state. Looking at his speed, he must be Pietro, Magneto's son.
"What do you want, Pietro?" Laura asked with a growl, clearly not wanting to interact with him when she was so close to freedom.
"Just wanted to check on your since I saw you. Perhaps you should take a bath." Pietro said as he rubbed his nose, disgusted by the blood on Laura.
"See ya later!" Pietro said as he left with his super speed.
"Can you defeat him?" Laura whispered to me after a minute.
"No problem!" I replied confidently. Even with the element of surprise on Pietro's side, I was able to react with the help of my Dragon Sense. In an actual fight, there is no way Pietro was going to withstand my red lightning.
"Then, follow me!" Laura said as she took me to the lab.
As we entered the lab where Laura's 'parents' were, I was surprised to see that the monitor in the lab was actually showing the footage of the news of 'ParCon' with Dr. Connors' picture along with my own. Were they ordered to research on 'ParCon'?
"Laura, how many times I have told you to try not to make such a huge mess?" Laura's 'Mom' scolded her as she turned around and saw Laura's condition.
"Well, she won't be our Laura if she actually cleaned herself properly." Laura's 'Dad' said with a laugh as he looked at Laura's condition.
Mom! Dad! It can't be!
The moment Laura's 'Mom' and 'Dad' turned around, my mind went into shock. Any doubts about them disappeared from my mind.
Because standing in front of me were none other than Richard and Mary Parker. My own parents who I had thought to be long dead.
