That would make two of them (or three, if they counted Quicksilver). Magneto seemed to enjoy keeping most people out of the loop, including his own children. No one was as important or as smart as he was, after all...
Even though that was--more or less--her own opinion on how the Master of Magnetism viewed himself, just the thought that she might've been right in thinking that made her blood boil. However, she wasn't the only one thought this; her beloved brother, Quicksilver, thought the same exact thing. Though, he seemed to enjoy adding a more colorful flourishes to his own descriptions of Magneto's apparent self-importance.
Scarlet Witch, may I have a moment or two of your time?
Wanda had been curled up on an armchair within her dorm room, reading a book when Mystique came calling. Now, this was something she hadn't anticipated. Instead of answering back in a timely manner, the Witch took her time closing (and carefully placing a bookmark within the volume's pages) the novel she had been immersed in just moments before the unexpected interruption.
What on earth could the blue she-devil want, anyhow?
Wanda hadn't the foggiest, but her interest was instantly piqued - even if it had been masked underneath the guise of cool reserve.
"Of course," she replied, once the shapeshifter would take a step into the room; Mystique had already taken the liberty of inviting herself in, so she hadn't bothered to stand up to greet her. Instead, she had just readjusted herself in her set and was now sitting with her legs crossed underneath the lovely skirt Pietro had pilfered for her birthday present.
"To what do I own the pleasure, Mystique?" Wanda put careful emphasis on the lady shapeshifter's moniker. She had always found it rather amusing that they all (the Brotherhood) still addressed each other by their codenames, even when they were alone.
