A/N: I don't own X-men blahblahblah. My friends characters are in here too. Um. Yeah….
Trees went by in a blur of green and brown as the silver car sped down the road. The car vibrated with the bass from the stereo. Then suddenly it came to a screeching halt. Its passenger flew out the window and was stopped in midair by an invisible force before landing in a heap, covered in glass, on the ground.
"You really should wear a seatbelt, dear." A voice called out as the girl looked up from the ground. The speaker was an older man with a maroon helmet on his head. Beside him was a women covered head to toe in blue scales. The pulse of the music could still be heard from the car. The girl got to her feet with a bit of effort and stared blankly at the two before her. The man noted that the shattered glass had made no mark on her skin. While he reflected on the fact that he had found the right girl she gathered her thoughts together and realized the man had serious mutant abilities. If she were to run he would no doubt catch her in a matter of seconds.
"My
name is Magneto." His voice was relaxed and welcoming.
"Good
for you." She said darkly, looking back to her car which was
damaged, to say the least.
"I will make this brief because it seems we are about to have guests…you have an incredible ability. But you're not able to use it to its full potential. The humans will be starting a war soon. They want to exterminate our kind. Help me fight them and we can rebuild the world where mutants will no longer live in--" his speech was cut short by the roar on an engine from above. Nora looked behind her just as the large ship landed. The stairs lowered and a group of people ran out.
"Hello, Old Friend." said a man in a wheel chair as he came out of the ship. Nora looked at the man with disdain. Her aunt and uncle had attempted to get her to go to his "School for the Gifted". At least that's what he called it. In her mind it was just a place for her to be kept out of trouble and under control.
"You're a bit late Charles," Magneto
noted Nora's expression with a triumphant grin, "I see you two
have met before?" She looked back to him and nodded. "They
want to control and contain your power. Come with me, Nora, and you
will be unstoppable."
"Eric, stop it." Charles's voice contained a hint of anger.
Nora, I don't know what he's told you, but give me, and my school a chance. It took a moment for Nora to realize she wasn't going insane but that once again Charles Xavier was in her head.
Get out! She thought angrily.
Magneto is a dangerous man. He'll stop at nothing to reach his goal and if someone has to die along the way, so be it.
Listen, quite frankly, I don't want to go
with either of you. Why can't you all just leave me alone? At
this point Magneto realized an unheard conversation was
occurring.
"Charles, I must insist you get out of her head. Dear, as much as I
would like for you to be able to take your time to make a decision.
You must pick a side. You are either with us or against us." Xavier
gave her one last pleading look before she took her place beside a
triumphant looking Magneto.
"Allow me," she asked as the
metal from her body formed into two metal balls in her hands. He gave
a nod of approval. Suddenly, the metal fell to the ground and she
bolted toward the other group. Once safely in among their numbers she
gave a nonchalant shrug to Magneto. "That's one hell of a sales
pitch you have there, but world domination really isn't my thing."
"Sorry to hear that. You had such potential…" Magneto gave a resigned sigh as a sad smile crossed his lips. A horrible pain ripped through Nora's body. She fell to the ground with a scream. "It was a nice attempt but you don't have the power to get all the metal out of your body. And even with the amount you did manage to expel you still have an abnormal amount in your blood." Scott acted quickly attacking Magneto and the woman. They swiftly moved out of the blasts way. "That is just a taste of the power you could have," Magneto said before they vanished. Nora glared at where he had been as Storm helped her stand.
