Pietro explained what was going on, Lorna’s lips parting in surprise and annoyance as he stated Alex needed to prove himself before marrying her, stating that she was blinded but romance, which only increased her annoyance ten fold. She wasn’t used to being treated like this and judged in such a way. “Blinded?” She repeated, but whatever else was going to say was interrupted by Guido, as he gave a parting shot, before walking away, soon followed by Jet and Legard. It was heartening to see how X-Factor remained loyal to Alex, despite everything but at the same time, she could see how it could cut her brother and sister off from the team. She was conscious of the conversation she and Pietro had only a few days previously, of how dissatisfied he felt. Surely this would only cause to exacerbate the situation. What had the twins expected though? What had they wanted to happen? Everyone to turn on Alex or to side with Pietro? Perhaps it hadn’t started as an aggressive thing, really Lorna wasn’t sure how it had started, but clearly all that had happened before Wanda bought her in had annoyed most of the team members. Wanda pronounced Alex worthy and the courtroom swirled away, leaving only Pietro, Lorna and Alex on the rooftop. Her brother began to spit angry words at Alex and Lorna looked away, feeling the slight sting of tears at the edges of her vision. This was not how it was supposed to be, any of it. Marrying Alex was not supposed to cause so much strife, and yet it seemed to have bought so many horrible issues to the surface, causing more anger and dislike between two men who had once been best friends. She blinked away the excess moisture clouding her vision as Alex kissed her forehead and spoke to her, feeling detached from what he was saying as she gave a small nod and began to walk towards where Pietro was trying to get through the door to Wanda. “Piet...” Lorna said softly, resting a hand on his shoulder. She couldn’t decided whether to be angry at him or upset or simply disappointed, conflicting emotions leaving her voice simply quiet and sad. “Let me try. I think you need to go and work off some steam.” As her brother zipped off, the sudden acceleration ruffling her hair, Lorna stepped up to the door, lifting her fist to rap against the wood. “Wanda, let me in, please.” She laid her hand flat against the door, feeling the notches and grain of it beneath her palm and fingertips. “Please Wanda, I just want to talk to you.” Half an hour ticked past before Lorna stopped with a soft, frustrated sigh, leaning her back against the door and sliding down in a sitting position. There was no doubt that Wanda would know she was there, waiting until her sister decided that she wanted to talk. Folding her arms loosely across her torso and resting the back of her head against the door, Lorna wondered how everything got so messed up. |
