Wanda walked along the dark street. Her arms crossed in front of chest. She had left the brotherhood to get away from all of the mess. It hadn't been to crazy there for awhile. Pietro always being out with Tabitha, Toad was never home, Or Wanda never saw him; And she had no idea where Lance and Fred were.
Wanda turned around a corner and let her arms fall down to her side. She wasn't wearing her trench coat. She had lost it in the fight at the mall, and hadn't taken the time to buy a new one. It wasn't like she had any money to buy it with anyway.
She glanced around and into the park, But decided against going there. Way to many thing involving family had happened there lately and she didn't really feel like getting a migraine right now. She had fought off one before she left the house.
Wanda continued to walk for about twenty minute, lost in thought. then she turned around another corner and stopped. All of the shops were closed. It looked like they had been for a few years. The shops were covered in dirt, dust, and looked cracked in places.
"Well this is interesting." Wanda said to herself flatly and continued to walk down the street. She had never been here before, Maybe she'd find something interesting to do.

Ray hummed as he walked out of the music store, swining a bag of guitar swings around his finger as he did. He'd snapped a few and besides, the new ones were over due. They'd cost him around fifty bucks, they better live up to their warranty.
But as he was walking he bumped into someone; "Hey, watch..." he began, then he saw it was Wanda and he was silent.
"Hey..." he said; "...How's your arm?"

Wanda felt herself bump into someone while she was looking around and she turned her blue eyed gaze to rest upon the teen in front of her. She took a step back and noticed it was Ray. "Why the h**l do you care." She said flatly and crossed her arms in front of chest, watching him.
She still had burn marks on her back from the lava, And if you looked closely at her arm you could see Ray's hands, but they were faint. It was probably showing still because Wanda had such pale skin.

"Cuz I did it to you," Ray replied flatly, crossing his arms; "Besides, I didn't do it on purpose. Well, I did, but you were freaking out. Doesn't matter though."
"So... why are you out walking anyway?" he asked, looking around; "Trying to keep from blowing up again?"

"Yeah, I guess." Wanda said flatly and also looked around, thinking Ray might have seen something. She had figured she got away just to get away from the boarding house.. But whenever she was there she blew.. So Maybe Ray was right. "And you?" She asked and began to turn one of the rings on her thumb.

"Busted a G-string," Ray said, swinging the bag again. The he stopped, realizing how that must have sounded.

"Oh." Wanda said and looked down at the swinging bag. She wasn't exactly sure what the heck a 'G-String' was, But she didn't really care either.
"Do you have somewhere to be?" She asked him and dropped her arms down by her sides, a few of her rings clinging together as her hands hit her sides and her fingers bumped together. She figured she'd ask, Incase he forgot or something.

Ray snorted; "Nope," he said, bag stopping as he crossed his arms again; "I do what I want... then again, who doesn't?" he looked at her, but he wasn't counting on an answer. Questions were sometimes rhetorical with Wanda.

Wanda just simply nodded and looked around. She knew a lot of people who didn't do what they wanted, More what they were told to do. Ray was one of the few she had heard of who did do what they wanted, And he being an X-Men just raised the fact that this was a rare thing to be heard.
Wanda began to think back on all of the people she knew who didn't have free will, Or didn't want it.... Her thought's were brought back to Quicksilver, He was always doing that Magneto told him to do.. Like when she was brought to the Asylum...
At this thought the light pole next to Wanda lit up into a blue light and bent. She understood that Quicksilver was only six, But that didn't mean he couldn't have come back for her. She stayed at the sh**y place for almost eleven years, and She doubt he even thought about going to get her. Maybe he had forgotten about her all together, Magneto defiantly had. Until she got out that is.
Wanda felt a head ache coming on, tons of things came flooding into her head, thinking about any family member usually made this happen; It was why she never talked about them.. Or thought.
Wanda, this time, saw herself inside of the metal dome... Mastermind was brainwashing her. The acolytes were standing there as if it were nothing, and Magneto was watching..
Wanda held her head and a few windows smashed, poles bent, and rocks began to fly around.
((OOC: What what you say Ray!))

((AHHHH!))
Ray's eyes lit up as electricity built up in him, like his sudden nerves. He watched the pole, knew he'd said something wrong, and he stepped back to avoid getting hit with rocks.
"Wanda, chill," He said loudly and flatly, prefering to stay calm and deadpan.
He knew Wanda hadn't had a very good life; he hadn't either. He had issues but he didn't have the ability to express his hurt like she did. Callisto had taught him how to calm down, how to deal with it.
"Wanda," he said again; "Focus on my voice. CALM. DOWN. No one's around to hurt you now. No one."
But he was at a loss as to whether or not if that was good enough.

Wanda heard Ray's voice, But as the memory faded away she was as angry as ever. No one was going to hurt her? Like she hadn't heard that before... The worker's at the Asylum had told her that all of the time. 'Don't worry, Wanda, We're not going to hurt you' then next thing you know their yelling 'Tie her down!' or 'Get her hands!'.
At this thought she flung her hands out in front of her. Pulling down her middle finger and concentrating she sent a huge, blue blast out of her hands toward Ray. "Get away from me!" She yelled and kept her hands out infront of her.

Ray was sent flying, and as he hit a wall, he didn't know what happened. One minute they were getting along, the next he was up against a wall, quite literally.
"Wanda, honestly," Ray said, looking at her; "I won't hurt you. And if anyone tries, they'd have to answer to me."

Now that... Only reminded her of the many times Pietro had spoken with her about her being in the Asylum. As if he knew what it was like there.. Wanda looked over at Ray with all of her feature's narrowed, and anger burning in her eyes. "Sure they would." She said flatly.
Wanda held her head, attempting to relieve some of the pain of her headache and an illuminated crack began to forum on the side of the building next to her, And trail upwards. Causing cement and bricks to come toppling down; And begin to float like the rest of the loose items laying around her.

With her attention elsewhere, Ray fought and freed himself from the wall. Now frustrated, his eyes lit up, as did his hands, electricity trailing up and down hisr arms, but not yet shocking anything. It was just a manifestation of his emotions.
"Wanda, who the hell do you think I am?" he asked vehemently, Hands going to her shoulders; "Wanda, look at me. I'm not your lousy brother; I'm not your deadbeat dad. I'm not the one who hurt you just to hurt you. I'm just Ray, okay? Just a kid trying to understand. Don't say I won't, either. You don't know me, you don't know I wouldn't get it."
He wondered if he'd have to shock her to calm her down. But he didn't want to do that. He probably couldn't. It was obvious Wanda had probably gotten the shocking treatment in her childhood. And that left scars, he knew.

Wanda continued to hold her head. She began to see visions of having test's done on her again, In the lab at the Asylum. She heard Ray's voice, But with all of her confustion his voice mixed with the voice of the doctors.
She felt his hands on her shoulders, just as the doctors were strapping her down. She screamed, it was what she did in the Asylum to try and get them off the doctors there were much bigger then her, and flung her hands to each of her sides. Trying to get he 'doctors' away from her.
A few car's flew out of their parking spots and into the air. They exploded and Wanda was thrown off blance a little. Her concentration thrown Ray was dropped from the wall as she stumbled backwards.
