Synopsis for 1st story

Eastern Europe: Pietro and Wanda Maximoff are part of a wandering Roma group. Life is tough as Wanda is having continuous nightmares and Pietro is concealing his white hair underneath a hat. One day they accept an offer from a farmer’s couple which is offering them meals in exchange for chores.

A few weeks pass and Pietro still has no trust in their employer. And he may be right, as the husband likes to watch Wanda when she is undressed.  When Pietro visits a market, a fire brings him back to the farm. The husband blames Wanda for the fire and calls her a witch who wanted to seduce him. Wanda uses an unknown power to free herself and Pietro rushes to her quicker than humanly possible. Suddenly, Magneto appears to rescue the twins and brings them to a safehouse among the Alps. There, Magneto explains to them that they are mutants like him and that fate brought them together to wage war.

Months later, Republic of Santo Marco: Pietro and Wanda are part of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants who helped Magneto subdue Santo Marco. While Wanda calls Magneto a good man, Pietro thinks he is trying to drive them apart. Also, he does his best to keep both Mastermind and Toad away from his sister. Then he barges in as Magneto just told Wanda about his wife Magda and his dead child Anya. Pietro demands from Magneto to take off his helmet which Eric reluctantly does. Magneto has the same white hair as Pietro which only fuels his conspiracy theories. Magneto immediately puts the helmet back on after recognizing that his friend “Charles” is lurking around in his head. Not much later, the Brotherhood is confronted and defeated by the X-Men because Pietro refused to kill one of his opponents. Wanda is defending her brother in front of Magneto. She states that she does not intend to kill anyone either. Because Magneto is unwilling to accept that, the twins decide to leave Magneto despite him swearing revenge.

Pietro and Wanda travel to America and become superheroes as they join the Avengers …

Solicit Synopsis

He is X-Factor's hot-headed speedster, and she is arguably the most dangerous mutant alive. But there was once a time when these two were children, twins on the run from those who feared and hated them, belonging with no one save for one another...until they joined the Avengers! For the first time ever in one titanic tale, see the path that took Wanda and Pietro Maximoff from vagrants to mutant terrorists under Magneto to Earth's mightiest heroes!
