Readers I got this idea out of left field. Like my pen name says Riddle and that is me and my mind. I was laying in bed awake (which I do a lot at night because I can't sleep until past midnight and it bothers me and I've tried everything but drugs) this idea came to me out of no where. Anyway this is a crossover of my favorite TV Show Criminal Minds and the great movie X-men. So if you don't like that idea feel free to exit. If you think it is intriguing and would like to see how it turns out I would love you to read and review! No flames or Mary Sues! Ideas are appreciated and constrictive criticism if it said in a nice way. Meaning put good with the bad.
Example: You need to work a little more on your grammar and description but great story anyway. Keep it up!
I do it all the time. Trust me I know how it feels when you want them to do something about their grammar or story and they think your being awful. My dad is a school teacher and I asked him about this a bit and this is his suggestion put a bad thing with a good thing which is what he does when talking to parents about their child. It's worked so far. I know I'm awful with grammar one of the worst. I need a beta but am worried they'll tear my story to shreds. Like a girl did in middle school to my Sorceress story I wrote in seventh grade. I wasn't a fan fiction though. I'm so afraid of criticism which is why I like this better then telling people other then my friends my stories because I have a severe case of social anxiety which makes me anti social in many ways.
Changes from X-men Three: Magneto and Rouge still have their powers. Jean and Scott are still alive.
Changes from Criminal Minds: Gideon never left the team.
Disclaimer: I own none of the things or characters from X-men or Criminal Minds besides my originals of course.
Prologue
I stood near the body of my father's latest victim who had been my best friend and the only friend I had that was a girl like me. The rest of my friends were all boys and there were only two of them. I didn't have a lot of friends because I didn't really trust people because of what I'd been through in my life. "Dad why? Why did you have to do this again and to my best friend of all people? I just can't understand why all these people must die if they aren't working in the SWS to kill us all. She wasn't trying to hurt us or kill us in any way that I could see and she didn't have any reason to try to do anything like that at all either." I flinched thinking of the Save The World Society or the SWS which is what we all called it for short. They were people who thought that mutants like me and others like me were just too dangerous and they couldn't let us live and set out to kill us for no reason except for what they thought we were trying to do which was take over the world and that was a total lie. That wasn't true at all of course because we had no intention of doing anything of the sort with our talents and abilities. We just were too different to them and we all had talents that were unusual to them so they couldn't let us live on because we were too different. What did they have against people that were different anyway? They had tried to kill me more then once all ready but somehow I had miraculously survived more times then I can count when I stood against them and usually I got away but usually with some kind of injure but none of them were fatal. I wasn't about to tempt fate though and let them see me and give them a chance to injure me again which had happened before I came out here into hiding fro my own good. Now I had to live in hiding among many other mutants like me for my own protection and it was the only way we knew how to stay alive against the SWS. We now had to stand together against the SWSand live together for strength in numbers can sometimes be the best defence you can have.
"Because she has betrayed us too many times, Child. I warned her to stop telling others about us. I gave her more then one chance to stop but she refused to. I had to do what I had to do for our own good, our own safety." He touched my shoulder in a comforting gesture like a father would and he was the only father I had ever really known. I felt a little bit better but if it was possible I also felt a little bit worse too because I still didn't see how this could be for our good. It was nothing more then another murder to me and see her murdered like others was not a good thing. This time though it was someone I knew and I cared about in many ways. The other times it was someone I hadn't known very well if at all but still their deaths were still not something I enjoyed witnessing.
"But she was my only friend that was another girl and she was my best friend and only friend beside the boys." I said quietly but still I was unsure why he had to do this of all things to her. What had she done to deserve to die at this time? How had she betrayed us because I couldn't remember her doing that? Others he had killed had actually been helping the police with the murder investigation which I knew about. They were only doing what they thought was right and I had to agree with their too confused me she hadn't ever been out of the forest as far as I knew and I was with her a lot but had she done something in the forest that I didn't know about. I thought she had told me everything but then everyone has secrets that no one else knows about.
"We mustn't let that stop us from protecting our Brotherhood, my Child, Singer. Whether they are our friends or not our Brotherhood is not to be destroyed or betrayed in any way." My father began to bring me from my thoughts and said something that angered me "It is all we …" I interrupted when I looked up him with venom in my violet eyes. I had tossed my black hair when I snapped my head up at his words.
I looked at Magneto with anger though it was he who had taken me in many days ago when he found me wandering the streets all alone like I had for most of my life. He knew I was a mutant when he saw me because he had heard about me. My parents and thrown me out into the streets when I started to show my gift, my talent. I could hypnotize and do other things with my voice when I started to sing. "Dad I told you over a hundreds of times. I don't want to be a member of the Brotherhood and fight against humans unless there is good reason. I told you that a million times all ready so get it in to your head." I crossed my arms over my chest. " For the last time the only reason I came here with you was because the SWS were trying to kill me and had nearly succeed more then once and had wounded me several times as well. It wasn't helping that they knew where I was hiding most of the time either. Someone must have told them where I was hiding at times though I thought no one knew where I was hiding."
"Singer, I don't think you understand entirely why I took you in here in the first place. If I am no longer here to lead the Brotherhood then you must do it in my place. They will all turn to you when I am gone and can't lead them in this war against the evil that threatens us. You are my daughter, my only child. Even if you are only adopted they all will want you to lead them and I will trust them into your care if I do die." He said it softly looking in my violet eyes with the care I felt when he saved my life though it wasn' t the same as it used to be. "You are all I've got. Is it not enough to know that no matter what happens to me I will always be there for you until I can't be anymore. If I'm not there then you must lead the Brotherhood until I return or until you hand it to someone you have cared for. I saved your life Singer and this is all I ask of you in return to be faithful I lead the Brotherhood when I no longer can for one reason or another."
I remembered him saving me only a little too well. I was attacked for the tenth time in the last hour by the SWS, who wanted the mutants killed so the mutants couldn't take over the world which was not what we were doing at all. I wished I knew where they got that idea so we could clear that up. They knew who was a mutant in the city and pretty much everything about them also. I was one of the ones that were on the hit list for the last several years and many kept trying to get me but I was really good at staying out of sight and being invisibility. Many skills I had learned from living on the streets for most of my life. This society of mutant killers saw me one day and started shooting at me. I ran as hard as I could. I wanted to use my gift for good not evil but it didn't matter to them what we used it for. I didn't get a chance to use it in time to stop them and they knew that. I was cornered in an alley and that was where Magneto found me, trapped with guns pointed at me inches from death. He attacked my attackers by using his powers and saved me. That was the day he took me to the Brotherhood and helped me learn to make my power stronger and control them better. I even discovered that I could do more then just hypnotize.
As he turned from the body of the girl I had known for as long as I had hidden with the Brotherhood but had grown so close to in that time. I couldn't just leave her like this I realized. I hurried to her still form.
"Singer what are you doing?" Magneto sounded a little angry but I had to do this. I didn't what to leave her like the way she was.
I closed her eyes and straightened her body and put her hands on her chest. Then I looked at him."I couldn't just leave her here like that because I cared for her. She may have done something to anger you but she still was my best friend and I feel as if she didn't deserve to die like this. I knew you did for the good of Brotherhood but I still wish she hadn't died."
He rolled his eyes, "Come on now little Singer, my Child. We must return now to the Brotherhood." We left but I didn't know we had started an adventure that would change my life. For sense I had been a friend to this victim I had done something different. I had made them come here and didn't know we would come to together in a way I though we never would. Connections may be invisible to an eye at first but can be felt in a heart. I would feel a connection to one of them unlike any I had ever felt before. If I had known that this would have been much easier for me.
