A/N: MrCJ rewrote the first part of this chapter up to when the guard leaves the room, but he only modified what i wrote myself. ALL MY IDEA PEOPLE!
"Hey, wake up." He said, tapping the glass. The huge form inside shifted groggily as his charge awoke.
"What's goin' on?"
The guard grinned. "You're in luck. Your brother filed a request: you can now be conscious!"
"I can?"
"For once a week." The guard added, without losing the grin. The figure grunted. He'd expected as much.
"He thinks he can change you into a better man." The guard continued.
If sarcasm was water, we'd be in the North Atlantic the figure thought wryly.
The door opened with a hiss, and in rolled a man in a wheelchair, followed by a boy with ruby sunglasses. The chair was self propelled however: clearly, the boy was no chauffeur.
"You have one hour." The guard said with a mock bow as he left the room.
"Hello Juggernaut, how are we feeling today." Said the man in the wheelchair as the doors closed behind the guard.
"Charles." Was the only reply he would get from him, after all it was he, who put him in here to start with.
The man in the wheelchair smiled and stood up, much to juggernauts shock. Seeing that the man smiled even more. "I think we can drop the act now Mastermind, don't you?"
The boy nodded, and with that the air around them shimmered. Where Charles Xavier and his student stood a second ago, was a tall man, not as big as he was though, dressed in a cloak with a helmet under his arm, and a second man was shorter, hunched over with scraggily brown hair. The first placed the helmet on, over his silver hair. "Hello Juggernaut," the man said again. "My name is Magneto, and I have an offer for you."
Magneto looked at the giant man in front of him. He slightly shocked at the sight that had unravelled before him. "Is there anything wrong?" he asked Juggernaut.
"Who's the before act for the cover of Vogue?" Juggernaut asked. The shorter man narrowed his eyes and Juggernaut paled.
"Mastermind stop it." Magneto ordered, his smile vanishing in an instant. Mastermind looked at him, but complied. Juggernaut looked visibly relieved.
"What's the offer?" Juggernaut asked. Magneto smiled again and walked over to the wall. He opened a compartment and removed Juggernauts helmet.
"The offer is simply this," Magneto said as he walked back to Juggernauts containment tank. "I break you out of here and make it look like your brother did it," Juggernaut grinned, "and you join my Acolytes."
"What makes you think that I will still decide to join you after you break me out though?"
Magneto nodded. "I thought you might ask me that, but I have a way of hurting you."
"Impossible, no-one can hurt the Juggernaut!" Juggernaut said, his voice rising threateningly.
"Not physically." Magneto said back, with the same amount of force behind his voice. He levitated the helmet in his hand. "I can manipulate the metal in this; this means if you ever cross me once I break you out, I can tear this off your head and," he nodded at Mastermind, "you already know what my henchman can do when you have no helmet. So do we have a deal?" Juggernaut gulped, and nodded. "Good. Now mastermind will set you free, and I will get to work on the ceiling."
"Why?" Juggernaut asked, as the fluid which paralysed his muscles was drained.
"We want to make a quiet escape to make it seem like it was your brothers doing." Magneto explained whilst the metal ceiling parted. He turned towards the wheelchair he had come in on and it melted into a thin metal disk big enough for the three of them to stand on. "I shall levitate us all up through the ceiling and fix it as we rise, Mastermind will cast an illusion surrounding us which will render us invisible to anybody who does not have any defence against psychic powers. Can you move yet?"
Juggernaut stepped forwards, picked up his helmet and clipped it on. "I'm ready." Magneto smiled and gestured towards the metal disk on the floor. Juggernaut stepped on it followed by Mastermind. Magneto stepped on last, and the disk started rising towards the sky. Juggernaut smiled as he headed towards his freedom.
