Mutating Dreams
Wolverine slashed and slashed with his claws of adamantium. Professor X clapped and waved the X-Flag above his chair. Yes, the men were coming along quite nicely. At this rate, Magneto would be mere child's play for his boys and girls. He pointed a finger at Beast and posed a wicked question:
"Just how loyal are you, pets?" he asked his class. The men and women of the Xavier School for Gifted Mutants (XSGM) stared at their bald master. "Would you be willing to…kill for me?" Cyclops smirked and used his beam directly on Beast's torso.

Make the choice of life, or the pay the cost of Hell." He waved his wand and opened the portal. The men stepped inside and the portal closed behind them.
