"I want her." A shadow-like figure said from his chair, looking at a picture of a teenage girl. "Young, beautiful, full of energy, full of life…" He glances over the photo again. Taking time to look over every curve, every detail it holds. A small smile creeps upon his lips. "She must be pure in every sense of the word. Oh what fun she will be to break. Tell me Magneto, when are we going to take her?" The shadow looks away from his picture up to the man standing by the doorway.
"Your awareness for your surrounding never seizes to amaze me, Mr. Landrake." Magneto stated as he walked from the doorway to the man in the chair. The man in the chair looked to be about late 20's with medium length blond hair tied back in a low pony tail. He had icy blue eyes that held no human emotion. Mr. Landrake was a fairly attractive built man.
"Flattery will get you everywhere Magneto, but please we have discussed this many times before, call me Jericho. And you have yet to answer my question. When are we going to take her?" Jericho smoothly persisted.
"Although I find your obsession with the underage girl quite disturbing, I would like to know if I have your full cooperation with the upcoming mission." Magneto turned Jericho's metal chair with a slight twist of his wrist.
"The world is full of disturbing people. Why do you think there are so many missing people in the world? Do you think that they get up and decide leave their lives without telling anyone? No. They are usually murdered or taken, only to be sold into slavery, usually used for sex. Am I one of those disturbing people? I am most certainly am. But I rather be thought of as collector of fine and rare items. And let me tell you Magneto, this girl, despite her power, is what I like to think of as an extremely rare and fine item." Jericho stood up and straightened out the suit and tie he was wearing. He lifts up his hand and red electricity in the shape of a ball started to form. "If I am promised the girl, then I will be more than happy to help you out with your mission. My power will short out any mutant power for at least two solid hours. Just point to whom you would like to be powerless, and I will gladly make it happen."
"Well then it looks like we have a deal." Magneto said as he turned to walk away. Upon reaching the door, he paused and turned around. "One question Mr. Lan… Jericho. You have the power to short out mutant powers. Why do you need someone else to do your bidding when it comes to … acquiring your merchandise?"
Jericho walks over to the counter and pours himself a drink. "I would like the girl to be disoriented and confused. I do not want her to know who is after her until it is too late. The confusion and fear of being in a strange area, the panic of not knowing what is going to happen next, the false hope they feel when they think they will able to escape, and the fight they all put up when they realize they have nowhere else to go. This is what I feed on Magneto. But the best feeling I get is when they break at the end, and they always break. Oh the sense of accomplishment I feel when that happens. And after that, I have the pleasure of seeing that fear whenever I want." Jericho takes a swig of his drink while setting down the photograph of the teenage girl with the medium length brown hair which is tied up in a high pony tail. She had the purest blue eyes and an equally amazing smile. She was wearing a skin-tight black uniform with a blue stripe. At the bottom of the photo read the caption 'Katherine Pryde. Codename: Shadowcat' A sick smile appears on his face. "Oh Miss Pryde, the fun we are going to have."
