So yeah, sorry.
Anyway I took this down earlier so I could rewrite it.
Originally I had the idea of Mystique running into Naruto, at about the Shippuden timeframe, while she was being chased by a hunter sentinel.
Also i'm trying to write my own Peter Parker x Carol Danvers fanfic, but there is one small problem...no idea how to write either of them.
Well anyway ON WITH THE SHOW
Kakashi Hatake, former student to the Yondaime Hokage Minato Namikaze, was one of six Anbu guards on-duty standing on top of the roof of the Hokage tower, awaiting some foreign diginatry the Hokage was supposed to be meeting. It was October the tenth, so you can imagine it was already cold enough outside, the wind that blew occasionally was not helping anything.
"He's late," Kakashi stated, leaning against the cold railing.
"Give him time," Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage and the current acting Hokage, replied puffing on his pipe with one hand and holding his hat with his other, waiting as if he expected the man they should be meeting right now to be late all along.
"My apologies Hokage-sama, just wondering why politicians are late all the time," Kakashi said, scanning the surrondings. Sarutobi just chuckled at Kakashi's complaint, taking another puff on his pipe.
"So what if he is a few minutes late," Sarutobi asked amused, "he is probably being held up by the weather."
Just as Kakashi was about to respond to the statement he heard something that did not mesh with the sounds he had come to expect from Konoha, this sound was like a metallic hum. Not even thirty seconds later the source of the humming descended from the clouds over head, it was a man in his late 40's to early 50's with piercing blue eyes and, from what he could see underneath the man's red helmet, white hair that spoke of old age, as if his numerous wrinkles didn't do that already, in a red violet body suit, and red violet cape with purple trim.
"Ah Magneto," Sarutobi greeted with a smile, like he and the newcomer were old friends, "I trust your trip was uneventful."
"Come now Hiruzen," the man admonished playfully as he wrapped the Hokage in a hug, "there shall be no formalities between friends to you it is either Erik or Magnus."
"Naturally," the Hokage said, returning the embrace, "I trust you and Charles have settled your differences?"
"Yes," Magneto answered with a grin, "and these have been the best years of mutantkind."
"Wanda and Pietro how are they doing," Sarutobi asked, "I trust they are good health."
"Well Wanda got pregnant five years ago," Magneto answered with a conspiratoral grin, "and I had a very interesting talk with the X-men's local preacher. Pietro is currently with the Avengers and his expecting his first child by the end of the year."
"Well I dare hope the young man survived your little talk," Sarutobi said, putting his friend at arms length and smiling.
"A little longer and he would have gone to meet his god a lot sooner than he expected," Magneto joked, "but back to the matter for which I am here."
"Yes," Sarutobi replied, his smile vanishing, "have you and Charles come to a conclusion about the boy? When last we spoke you said there was a strong possibility he might be a mutant due to his tenant."
"We have," Magneto answered, his eyes becoming as hard as the metal he manipulated as his poker face fell into place, "Charles used Cerebro to scan the continent for mutants or people with the potential to become mutants, most of these signals came from the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, as a by product of their bloodline limits. However he also found several people whose mental signatures suggest latent mutant potential, amongst which is the boys."
"I see," Sarutobi replied, taking a puff on his pipe. While his outward appearance was the definition of calm, inwardly he was damning the village to the deepest, darkest, hottest pit of hell. You see over the past few years he had been doing his best to care for the boy, on more than one occasion he had even tried to find him a loving family, only for the Civilian portion of the Council to repeatedly stonewall him. He had also tried to honor the wishes of his deceased successor/predecessor and Naruto's father, Minato Namikaze, and to get the people to revere Naruto as the hero he was, instead the Civilian Council had basically pissed on the Fourth's last wish and saw Naruto only as the monster he unknowingly kept prisoner, which had resulted in what was happening tonight, which could either work marvelously and bring in the always needed extra source of income for the Village along with a alliance with two powerful groups of super humans or would see him executed as a traitor for making a backroom deal and make Naruto's life even worse.
"It's your village," Magneto stated, breaking Sarutobi from his musings.
"Yes," Sarutobi replied, a fire appearing in his eyes that hadn't been there since he retook the position of Hokage, "and it's time the Civilian Council remembers who really holds the power in this village."
With a silent hand motion a masked ANBU with a cat mask walked forward with a folder stuffed with papers.
"Do you wish to look over them Erik," Sarutobi asked, holding the folder out to Magneto, "to make sure everything is satisfactory?"
With a nod Magneto grabbed the folder and spent thirty minutes looking over the papers contained inside, then with a nod Magneto closed the folder and handed it back.
"According to this treaty, now made official by the acting Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato, Konoha cedes the training, upbringing, and custody of the Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki, to the sovreign government of Geonoshia. He is to be adopted by a trustworthy member of Geonoshia and trained to be a ninja of Konohagakure no Sato, thus making his guardian and those accompanying him or her, political "hostages" to ensure a stable future between our two nations. While within the village, these hostages will have diplomatic immunity, and complete autonomy in their actions, even if they decide to join the ranks of our fellow shinobi. They shall be given their own lands, clan compound, and status as a sovereign clan with a seat on the Council. If the boy does indeed develop any mutant abilities, it is the responsibility of his guardians to guide him in mastering this newfound power if need be, as well as any abilities that may result as a byproduct of his union with the Bijuu, Kyubi-no-Kitsune," Sarutobi announced, in a matter of fact tone, putting the seal of the Office of the Hokage on various pages before handing the folder to Magneto, " So say I Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sandaime Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato."
" And," Magnus said stoically, taking the folder, "as the sovereign ruler of Geonoshia and the House of M, I cede seven warriors as the child's guardians and caregivers. They shall be more than the child's nurses or teachers, they shall be his family. They shall share a bond of unity, family, and brotherhood. They shall be our representatives in your country and will answer only to the reigning Hokage of Konohagakure. So declares Erik Magnus Lensherr, the Master of Magnetism. May this treaty help your village prosper."
With that Magneto signed his name to the same pages as the seal of the Hokage.
"And more importantly may it give Naruto the family he more than deserves," Sarutobi stated, just before he took the folder with the newly signed treaty from Magneto, "come Erik, let us go inside. It's cold out here and I would prefer we be someplace warm when we make preparations to bring Naruto's new family here."
"It's already done old friend," Magneto stated, a smirk appearing on his face from seeing Sarutobi's confused expression, "I could imagine no better birthday gift for a orphan than a family, so I brought them with me."
With that he raised a hand to the sky, with the palm facing the clouds and his fingers splayed, and then moved it so his palm was pointing to the roof and with that seven pods descended from the heavens. After making a slashing motion through the air with his hand the tops of the pods opened revealing Naruto's new family. Out of the first pod stepped a woman with a lean and lithe build which to Kakashi suggested a acrobatic fighting style, a belt with a great number of assorted pouches, some containing tiny balls he had once heard were called grenades, and pouches containing black rectangles with a short bronze pods inside, he thought he had heard them called bullets, resting in pouches on her hips were two L-shaped pieces of metal, if he remembered they were called pistols, and she was wearing skin tight leather pants, a equally tight leather top that was cut to revealed her midriff, black combat boots, and black fingerless gloves. All in all she looked like the perfect mixture of combat prowress and exoctic beauty, topped off with a body many kunochi would sell their souls or kill for. However any male ANBU present were put off by the woman as she looked like human they had ever seen. She had dark blue skin, pupil-less amber eyes, a blood red bob cut with a skull ornament at the base of her hair line, and her skin looked like it had some kind of ridging to it.
The second person to step out of their pod looked like someone had taken a rabid animal and made it human. The person was male with black hair, blue eyes, and he was decidedly short, standing at only 5'3". He was wearing a white undershirt with a red and black plaid shirt over it, blue jeans held up with a black leather belt with a dull gold buckle, and brown leather boots with a rounded point, and he was puffing on cigar, that let off such a noxious smell Kakashi almost took off his mask to hold his nose.
'Doesn't look like much,' Kakashi thought, just as the roof shook from the third person getting out of their pod. The person who stepped out of the third pod was a man who towered over everyone present, standing at a easy 9'5", he wore what looked like a black spandex full body suit under a blood-red chestplate, greaves, gauntlets, and a blood red armband on each arm, and a blood red dome shaped helmet rounded off the outfit, and he had a look of bloodlust in his eyes and a aura that made it seem like he was just itching for a fight.
'That helmet has got to limit his vision,' Kakashi thought, already catching himself planning moves and counter moves for each of the people that had stepped out so far. However all his thoughts thus far had come to a grinding halt. If he hadn't seen the body he would have sworn the woman was Kushina Uzumaki brought back to life. The woman stood at 5'6" with fiery red hair, emerald green eyes, with a petite figure that was covered by a dark green shirt, tan cargo pants, and black and white shoes that looked like they were designed for running. However the thing that seemed to mar her beautiful features was that she seemed to have a near permanent frown on her face.
'And I got nothing...though she'd be prettier if she smiled,' Kakashi thought, and as if it was some kind of sign the redheaded girl let a small smile cross her features. The next person to step out of their pod was a man with sandy blonde hair that was spiked, he was wearing a orange body suit with a red chestplate, red metal boots, and red gauntlents with two clear houses coming from them that hugged his arms and went to somekind of pack on his back, his eyes were covered with a clear-orange visor, and he had a mischivious grin on his face. However Kakashi found himself internally thanking him as the man released a fireball and held it in place with a wave of his hand, bringing much needed warmth to the people on the roof.
'Ok close eye on him,' Kakashi thought. Out of the sixth pod stepped a rather odd pair. The female of the two exemplified asian beauty with her black hair in a bun with two chopsticks going through the bun, a regal face like she was descended from royalty, doe-brown eyes, and she was wearing a leather cat-suit that was unzipped to reveal a little bit of her clevage, a black belt around her waist, and black high heeled boots, and the other one was also a woman, though the similarities stopped there, this other woman had pink colored skin, green pupil-less eyes, magenta colored hair that did nothing to hid the pink diamond on her forehead or the purple tattoo on her left eye, and she was wearing a black trench coat, black pants that fit her snuggly, and black combat boots.
"Allow me to introduce Naruto's new family," Magneto said as float above the seven new comers, "from Charles's X-men he sent the Feral Mutant, Logan Howlett aka the Wolverine, the Omega-level psychic Jean Grey, and the teleporter Clarice Ferguson aka Blink. I have sent from my own personal guard, Raven Darkholme, better known as the Mutant Shapeshifter Mystique, Cain Marko aka the Juggernaut, mutant fire-starter St. John Allerdyce aka Pyro, and Yuriko Oyama, though she prefers the name Lady Deathstrike."
With introductions complete Sarutobi took the time to look over each of them, his learned habit of examining people and assessing their strengths and weaknesses kicking.
"Which of them shall take of Naruto," Sarutobi asked, looking up at Magneto from beneath the brim of his hat.
"After much deliberation and debate between my family and Charles we have come to the perfect conclusion," Magneto said just before setting down and turning to look at Mystique, "Raven Charles and I have decided that it shall be you that adopts Naruto."
"What," Mystique questioned in shock, as all the memories of her numerous failures with her children assaulted her, "Erik no...that is I mean-"
"Raven," Magneto said, in a stern voice, not wanting to hear any of it, " trust me, you were always beating yourself up over your failures with Kurt and Marie but it was actually a blessing in disguise. Take it from a father who knows, it's not easy to watch your own children reject you. You may have lost Kurt but you found him again and he forgave you and he holds no hatred towards you and he found a home with Charles Xavier, Marie may show disdain towards you but she'll see that you helped her come to terms with who she was. Raven this boy needs someone like you, someone who knows rejection, so think of this as an opportunity for both of you to find happiness."
Eventually Mystique's tears of pain and sadness turned to tears of joy and happiness, Mystique nodded dumbly for a moment letting it sink in, "I'll do it."
Magneto smiled, for the first time since he and Charles had stopped their fighting, "You'll make a fine mother."
"I think so too," Sarutobi interjected honestly, knowing how it felt to try your hardest with a child only to have it be blown back in your face, Kami knows he tried to do right by his son Asuma, so he felt obligated to give this woman Mystique some words of encouragement , " You show compassion for your children, loving them when they are hostile to you for things that happened in the past, , you are a fine example of a mother Darkholme-san, just the kind of person Naruto needs in his life."
"Thank you sir I want let you down," Mystique said, then she quickly added as she stood up and wiped the tears from her eyes, "and please call me Raven."
"Of course Raven," Sarutobi chuckled, before taking one more puff on his pipe, "Now let's get inside its almost dark and there's a certain birthday boy we need to visit."
