Reason

1. Death - One of you died- or that was the general consensus, anyway. Whether you've been brought back or you were never really dead in the first place, who can say? All we know for sure is you're alive and kicking- more or less.

2. Argument - The two of you had a falling out, a fatal difference in opinion that resulted in the more or less permanent parting of ways. Now, time has passed. Maybe you see things a little differently?

3. Torn Apart - Neither of you wanted to be split up, but circumstances beyond your control have forced you apart. Parents, demons from hell, a job change, whatever it was, there was absolutely no stopping it. Just when it seemed like you'd never see them again- there they are.

4. Lost - You've been wandering on your own for so long, displaced and confused, with no real memory of how you got there. Somehow, through sheer dumb luck or the assistance of a stranger, you've been put back on the right path.

5. Life - Who can really tell when it happened? People just grow differently. At some point, you fell out of touch, missed a few phone calls, whatever it was, life got in the way, and they drifted out of your life almost without your noticing it.

[ Pietro never knew his real father. He always imagined him a coward, a weak man who abandoned their mother to die and never cared, never gave him and his sister a second thought. He didn't want to meet him, content to be the Maximoff children instead, in their mobile home community on soviet ground.

Being forced from their home by being special was no reason to want to see a man he never cared for. Staring up at him with a blank stare and a frown, Pietro is unimpressed. ]

Honestly until a few short weeks ago, Erik hadn't known anything about them. Though even if he had, he couldn't claim that the results would have been much different.

"I'm not in the habit of taking in children." He said by way of greeting, children had always been Charles' forte and not his own, "But you are welcome here, as long as you care to stay. I'm not going to make you stay here, that isn't how we operate."

No, one of the reasons the Brotherhood thrived was because every last member wanted to be there. Everyone pulled their weight, and those who didn't answered to the Brotherhood as a whole, not just to Magneto.

Not in the habit of taking in children, not even his own. It was everything Pietro expected from his absent parent, now that he was getting to know him, slowly. He frowns and stares, his face contorting with thought.

"I could live off of picking pockets just fine, you know."

Just because he wasn't in the habit didn't mean it didn't happen, there were actually a few teenagers, and even a handful under the age of ten in the compound.

He just nodded at the statement, "I'm sure you could, many do." He had, for a while, "But do you really want to? What sort of security does that provide for you? For your sister?" As far as manipulation went it wasn't particularly subtle, but right at the moment he didn't particularly care if it was or not because one thing he knew about children was that most of them called out subtleties before they called out someone being straightforward.
