Pietro and Francis had boarded a boat to head towards Genosha, it had taken them nearly a day and a half at this rate to get there. But he noticed right off the bat that Francis was getting nervous since day one after even mentioning it. "Francis is everything alright?" Pietro asked as he was dressed for cold weather. It had been rough traveling on the seas for the past few days as he nodded. Francis did seem worried, "Yeah just concerned is all. I'm a human and they, they're all mutants. Won't they hate me?" He asked Quicksilver seeing that he had brought a bag with him containing several items that they needed for the trip such as clothing and he had done the same. Except he had brought a bit more being that he needed some items for his arrows. They didn't grow on trees of course.
He had to make them himself if he wanted to survive these rough times. "They hated me at first. But I got through to them, even my father." Pietro said with a sigh as he looked back. It wasn't long before they saw the island coming into view as the mist seperated and disappeared. The boat soon came into the docks as they were alowed to leave the ship. As Francis thought about it, this would be his first time to be off the mainlands, as he had never left the country yet, but he had been independent his whole life. So he hadn't had much to worry about. "Well here it goes." Pietro added as Francis picked up his things onto his shoulder, and he still had his bow with him just in case.
It wouldn't be long as the two Avengers stepped off the boat after they were allowed to leave. Francis let Pietro take the lead seeing that he didn't know his way around here. All this place seemed new and foreign to him. He didn't know a single thing about this island and he was only best in New York. 'Stay calm, stay calm.' He said to himself as he did his best to control his nervous breathing, as hoping that Pietro wouldn't hear it.

Among the ones who where wating for the boat was Neila, though she was not just walking on.. Even though she had gotten a invite from Magneto himself she did not trust him one bit.. But now she wanted to see this Genosha for herself.. Neila hid and waited, when the ship was being borded she snuck on with the crowed, she was wearing a baseball cap and was useing it to hide her face. She even wore a coat though she did not really need one. "Ok the plan in to sneak on get a look around then leave without being spotted by Magneto.. I would hate to get caught in his home turf.." Neila muttered to herself as she stood next to the side of the boat looking out at the sea. Though being around all this water was not her idea of fun.. How she wished there was another way to get to that plasted island without havng to cross the sea... Neila then moved the cap over her eyes as she stood there not knowing that Francis was also on board.

Pietro and Francis also noticed the crowd starting to grow as he tried to keep up with the older Avenger. Even in his normal walking he found it a bit difficult to keep up with him. "Pietro, slow down." Francis called out but the crowd started to keep him from seeing where the speedster went. As he tried to walk some more he felt someone push him to the ground, almost like a shove. He fell to the ground as he saw his bow fall somewhere else into the crowd. "Watch it!" He called out annoyed now but he never new who exactly had pushed him in the first place. He knew from the start that he wasn't going to like it here.
It had taken a few minutes before Pietro realized that Francis had disappeared and he dashed back into the crowd, shoving people out of the way to get to the younger avenger. It wasn't long before he found him and held a hand up so he could get him back on his feet. "Are you alright, Francis?" He asked the young archer as he rubbed his side. "Yeah I'm fine. Just a bit bruised but that's all. But like I said go a little slower so I don't loose you like last time." Francis added as Pietro nodded understanding. Even Francis didn't seem to know that Neila was on board the ship, he had mostly been on the main deck or in his room trying to avoid attention. ANd it looked like he wasn't doing so well with it on land.

Neila followed after the crowed when they got off the ship. So this was Genosha. Metal as far as the eye could see.. Not a place she would want to stay in that was for sure.. Just then she heard a voice she knew all to well. Neila then looked around looking for its owner. But failed to see him, was she just hearing things? Great now she was starting to hear his voice in her head... Great just great.. Shaking her head she started to walk and with in a few minutes she felt her foot touch something. Neila blinked and looked down and her eyes grew in shock. It was Francis's bow!! Neila then picked it up and looked around but did not see him. Great he was here in a human hateing place without his bow... That was not good... She did not want to stand out but she had to give it back to him. Now Neila looked around the crowds looking for Francis and listening for him as well.

As Francis kept close to Pietro this time he realized something wasn't right. "Where's my bow Pietro? Did we leave it back on the ship? I thought I had it back in my arrow case with the arrows." Francis asked as he looked up at the older man as he started to quickly inspect everything that Francis had to make sure that it wasn't still on him. But he came up empty handed after searching through the bags, "I couldn't find it Francis."
"This isn't good. That bow was state of the art technology. If someone found it and it was put in the wrong hands that would be asking for serious trouble. Not to mention my father would yell at me for loosing it as I hardly loose anything." Francis said as Pietro took his hand. "Come on we'll go back into the crowd and search for it. Since you noticed right away that it had been dropped probably no one had picked it up by now. Or it couldn't have gone far. ANd stay close with me so we don't get lost again." Quicksilver said as he began to head through the crowd again as they were getting closer to where Neila was without even realizing it. But Pietro was starting to wonder more and more now if it had been a bad mistake bringing Francis onto the island.

Neila held Francis's bow close and gave death glares to anyone who looked at it. No way in hell was she going to let anyone take it. Just then she heard Francis's voice again and looked around. In no time seeing as they where getting closer she spotted them. Ok.. Now just to give it back without Francis knowing she is here... She did not think it would work but it was worth a shot.. Neila then moved around in the crowed and made her way behind Francis. She then matched his pace and walked right behind him. Then carefully she tried to put it back on his back. WHen she was sure it was ok Neila then tried to dash back into the crowed hoping not to be spotted by Francis.

Francis had remained close to Pietro the entire time like he had said to do. But he stiffened a bit as something didn't seem to right. He looked back seeing that his bow ended up back into his backpack. It didn't just appeare out of magic, even Quicksilver had checked everything to make sure that it hadn't been there. "Uh?" He asked but he saw a figure move through the crowd at a fast pace. He could make out some features, it was definitely a human or a mutant for that case. "Well it looks like someone found your bow for you." Pietro said.
"Yeah and I think I know who did it." Francis said as he took off in the opposite direction leaving Pietro a bit surprised. He could barely see the figure now as he tried to keep up with her. Neila was good with running and he could certainly tell from being on the streets all her life. He might not be able to keep up with her. And the last thing he wanted to try was to use one of his arrows on her, since he knew she would likely burn them to a crisp with her fire powers.
"Well so much for sticking together." Pietro said crossing his arms for a bit as he watched Francis leave. Of course with his super human speed, he could easily catch up with the two when he chose to leave.

Neila ran for bit but when she was certen she was far away from Francis she slowed down to a walk. Now that she knew Francis had his weapon he would be fine. Though she hoped he had not come alone and that he was at least with someone. Whatever mission he was on was not her consurn. Though little did she know that Francis had spotted her and was chaseng her down. Neila then got out of the crowed and started to head deeper into Genosha. As in the first place she just wanted to look around but now she had to make sure she did not get noticed by Francis.. " Alright... Where to first..." Neila thought out loud to herself as she walked.

Francis continued to race after Neila but saw behind him Quicksilver was keeping up easily after stopping to let him get ahead. "Don't you believe me Pietro it had to be Neila?" He asked him as Pietro looked back at Francis. "I do. Otherwise how else would it end up in your backpack." Quicksilver added. Finally they got out of the crowd to head to where Neila was going but he stopped as he couldn't find her any more.
"Where did she go?" Francis asked as Pietro came over to his side. "Knowing her she would have gone deeper into Genosha. Down thtere is my father's citadel. She could have gone there or nearby areas since there's a lot of attractions. Come on I'll lead the way" Quicksilver said as he began to lead the way for Francis so he could keep up easily. The last thing he wanted to have was an introduction with Quicksilver's father. It'd be bad news if they found out there was a human on Genosha. But he was an Avenger, surely he would be fine with this...

Neila had no real idea where she wa going, so she just walked around. Though the more she saw of this place the more she hated it. It felt so cold.. All this matel and people who just as cold as the matel that was around them. Yeah a nice place to visit but not a place she would want to stay.. After walking around a while Neila sat down on a matel bench and sighed. Ok she was started not to see any point in coming here.. And nore did she want to go any deeper in risk of meeting up with Magneto. he may have just let her walk away when he first gave the invite but here on his island that would be a diffrent story... Though she would look around though. Standing back up Neila started to go deeper again trying not to stand out.

"Neila Neila, please wait up!" A voice called out coming from Francis once more. They headed down the same alley way that Neila had gone down as Pietro ran a bit faster with Francis knowing he would be able to catch her easily compared to Francis. He held onto Francis with his hand as he sped through the ally way. Francis wondered how Pietro managed to handle this type of speed, it was nothing that he had ever experienced before, the rush of wind and blinding speed was phenomenal. But he figured at this rate Pietro had been used to it since he was older and had control over his powers.
"Neila!" He called out one more time as Pietro finaly came to slow down a bit. Just ahead Francis could see her just up ahead. She was going further into the city. He was tired of this constant chasing of her. He wanted to know why she was here and what she was doing. Not to be a snooper or anything, he was curious and that was it. Francis didn't realy seem to stand this place much more than she did. It was cold here, he could feel it each time people stared at him, the mutants. They knew he wasn't one of them.

When Neila heard her name being called out by Francis, she stopped and flitched like a child being caught by a parent doing something wrong. She then turned to see Francis coming her way and frowned when she saw that he was not alone. Pietro was with him, so that ruined any chances of her getting away now. With a sigh Neila folded her arms and looked at Francis and Pietro. " Do you have to let all of Genosha know I'm here?? I really don't want a certen someone to know I'm here... What do you want Francis?" Neila asked calmly not showing any sign of being angry. Slightly annoyed but not angry yet..

"I just wanted to say thanks. I knew right away that it was you who found my bow. It's clear you don't want me arround.... You're annoyed....That's all I had to say..." Francis said as he explained his quick point of how he came about chasing after her. He started to turn around as Pietro remained further back watching the two in case anything bad would happen. But it seemed Francis was trying to avoid a fight from coming from the two of them. If anything Neila would have been likely to burn his hands so he couldn't use his bow for a long time in a fight as he had to wait for a long process of healing. Humans didn't have a healing factor of course.

Neila sighed when Francis said thanks and started to walk away. "Ugh Wait... Sorry just a bit on edge... Your welcome just thought you would like it back. So why are you here? This is not the best place for a human even if you have a body gard." Neila said as she placed a hand Francis's shoulder to stop him. She had no intent to fight Francis. She was growing to see him as a friend and owed him way to much to do anything to him.

"It was mostly from Ironman but Pietro offered to go as well. Ironman wanted us to get some answers from Magneto. He would have gone himself but he knew a fight would break out if he went. He and Magneto don't exactly serve on great terms." Francis said as he looked back at Neila and he saw out of the corner of his eye that Pietro nodded in agreement. The last thing either one would expect was an ally between the both of them. Even with Pietro sent there was a lower risk of a fight breaking out, as he was after all Magneto's son. "That's mostly it though." Francis explained.
