Disclaimer: I own nothing from X-Men. I'm only borrowing the characters for a short time. I'm not making any money off of this story. I'm not getting anything. Don't sue me!

It starts with one scene from X2 changed. Everything else from X2 happens. The only difference is Pyro is taken unwilling by Magneto. After that one scene change, it will start right after X2.

Am I on the right side?

~The remade scene from X2~

John Allerdyce walked through the forest, heading towards the dam in front of him where some of his friends were fighting for their lives and futures. He was told to stay in the jet with his two best friends, Bobby Drake and Marie. He had always been very stubborn and had left the jet to go and help. John and his friends were mutants. They all had their own special powers. His friends Bobby could make ice and do whatever he could think of with it. His other friend Marie, if she touched your skin, she would absorb your strength and energy, or if you're a mutant, your power for a short time. John's power was to manipulate fire. He could control its size, shape, intensity, and make it do anything he could ever imagine. The only thing he was missing was the ability to create fire. He could make a tiny spark bigger, but couldn't actually create it. He had been told that one day his power might evolve and give him the power to create it as well. John couldn't wait for that day.

John had thought that maybe he could be of some help. Professor Xavier back at school had always made him practice control more often then everyone else, because he said that his power was to powerful and must have restraint. And of coarse, John used his powers whenever possible. He had always been extremely cocky and stubborn. He was often told he was very difficult to deal with, and he took pride in that. As he neared the dam, he heard a small noise to his left. He turned that way and peered through the bushes. He saw a helicopter with its blades just beginning to spin. He looked up and saw Magneto and Mystique getting ready to leave. Mystique looked up and saw him. She tapped Magneto and pointed John out. Magneto opened his door and floated to the ground. He then began to walk towards him.

"John, my boy, what are you doing here? I thought you were going to stay on the jet." Magneto asked him, with a smile playing on his face. "I was going to the Dam, to help. I heard something over here, so I just stopped to look around." He said keeping his eyes on Magneto's. Magneto's smile widened. "I see. It's nice of you to offer to help your friends. I've been wanting to talk to you about something. Now seems perfect. I want you to join our brotherhood against the dominance of the human race. I know that your aware of what we do. I think you would be a valuable member of the brotherhood. We could really use your help. What do you say? Give us a chance. Come with me and let me show you what you can do when you're not being leashed by Xavier. I can show you what your future and the future of all other mutants can be. Join me and I'll give you a better future." Magneto said. John stared, open-mouthed as what Magneto had said started to sink in. he argued with himself for a little while, while Magneto looked at him expectantly. After a few minutes, he looked back up at Magneto. "No Magneto. Your intentions sound so noble, but that makes me wonder, why everyone fears you. And why some you go about doing things the way you do; and why some people would go to such lengths the stop you. I don't think I can go with you. I don't want to go with you." He said while turning around and taking a step forward. Magneto laughed. "Alright. I gave you the option. You turned me down. Just because I gave you an option, doesn't mean you have a choice. You will come with me. Are you going willingly or not?" Magneto asked. "No, I won't go with you." John said as he walked away. He got about ten steps away when he heard another laugh behind him. "I'm sorry my boy. I will not take no as an answer." Magneto said with a laugh. John gasped as he felt something penetrate the skin on the back of his shin. His eyes began to close as the world got darker. He fell backwards into the snowy grass. The last thing he saw was Magneto leaning over him with a smile. He felt Magneto remove whatever was in his leg. Magneto smiled and said, "Welcome aboard." John's eyes closed and he fell into a deep sleep. Magneto picked him up and carried him to the helicopter. He put the boy in the back and sat down with a big smile from Mystique. The helicopter took off with Magneto, Mystique, and John all heading for brotherhood headquarters.

*Before Wolverine got onto the jet, he found the spot where the helicopter was and where John was taken. He couldn't see and signs of a struggle so he told the others John went willingly. Then they get on the jet, Jean "dies". you know, all that stuff.*

John woke up that night in a small dark cell. It was a big blank metal room with a metal bed, much like an operating table, and a small barred window that looked out over nothing but water as far as the eye could see. There were bars separating him from the rest on the building. That whole wall, including the door, was nothing but solid metal bars. He walked up to them and pushed and pulled against them. They didn't budge. He shook them in frustration. Someone came around the corner in front of him. It was Magneto. "Your awake, good. It's about time you came to." Magneto said, offering a friendly smile. He got a scowl in return. "What am I doing here?" he yelled at Magneto. Magneto just laughed. "Relax, dear boy. I brought you here, don't you remember?" he smiled again. John only pulled against the bars once more. "We need to talk." Magneto stated plainly. "I don't wanna talk to you. You let me go home!" John yelled. "You are home. You will talk to me before you eat. Call when you wish to talk. He made a gesture with his hand and a thick sheet of metal slid down over the bars so John couldn't see out. He couldn't see anything. The small window was the only source of light. A small bit of moonlight shown in, but John was completely blind. He searched his pockets for his lighter, and wasn't surprised to find it gone. He had hoped to light a small fire as to allow him to see. With his hands out in front of him, he began to feel around for his bed. When he found it he sat down. He then laid down on the poor excuse for a bed. He closed his eyes, hoping that he would wake up at school and have this all have been a dream. But John wouldn't wake in the Mansion; he'd still be here when he next awoke.

Back at Xavier's mansion - Marie (Rogue)/Bobby

Marie and Bobby walked to the room Bobby used to share with John Allerdyce, before he left the X-Men as they all thought, the week before. Marie sat on John's old bed. She looked around at all of his things, books, clothes, and other items lying around. She was still having trouble excepting that John had left them for the Brotherhood. Bobby was getting a new roommate tomorrow. She looked at Bobby who was gazing at a book John had been reading. "Bobby do you wanna watch T.V downstairs or something?" Marie asked. He shook his head no. "What do you wanna do then?" she asked trying to be patient. "I don't know." When he heard her sigh, he continued. "I'm sorry Marie. I've been thinking about John so much that I've forgotten about you." He said, while his hand griped her gloved one. "We've all been thinking about him a lot, you haven't forgotten me. I know that we'll all move on eventually. I'm not trying to push you." She said. "I know, your not pushing me. But what if we go on a mission with the X-Men and he's there? He's the one causing trouble? What would we have to do to him? And would we be able to?" he asked, gazing into her eyes. Marie just stared at the floor. "We would do what we had to do. But you don't need to worry about that. Soon he'll be out of our minds and just another member of the brotherhood." She said, sounding more confident than she really was. Bobby nodded. "Lets go get some ice cream downstairs and watch TV." Bobby said. Marie nodded and taking his hand they walked downstairs. "Why is it that the brotherhood is made of all mutants with strong, destructive powers? Except Toad that is." Rogue asked trying to lighten the conversation. "Because they are the ones that can cause the most problems and damage." Bobby said seriously.

John awoke to the sound of the metal sheet in front of the metal bars of his cells lifting. Mystique was lifting it up and gazing in on him. "Rise and shine little boy. Your destiny calls." Mystique said smiling. John just sat up rubbing his eyes. Mystique called to him, "Hello boy, I said your destiny calls. In other words, Magneto is offering you the chance to speak with him again." she said staring at him. "I'm not gonna tell him anything." John said stretching. "Oh, are we not hungry yet? You will be. You'll not get any food until you talk to him." Mystique said. "I still won't tell him anything." John said staring back. "Who ever said he wanted you to tell him anything anyway? Perhaps you're assuming to much." Mystique said, holding the keys to unlock the door. Just then Toad walked by with a tray of blueberry pancakes and some orange juice. "Oh, we aren't cooperating? Not hungry? Oh well, Sabretooth will eat them no doubt." Toad said turning away. John just stared at the food longingly. He was starting to give in. "What exactly does Magneto want to talk about?" John asked, still staring as the food got further from him. Mystique smiled. "About your potential perhaps? Or what exactly you're doing here?" Mystique said. John stared at the food and could feel his feet shaking from the hunger. "Well maybe I'll just um have a word, with." John was interrupted by Mystique. She called Toad back and handed him his food. "Eat up. I'll tell Magneto your coming." She said turning away. Toad watched her go then turned the other way. John began eating his food quickly, as if afraid they would take it from him again. When him finished, Mystique was there to lead him to Magneto. When they got to his room Mystique pushed him in side and shut the door. Magneto was there and smiled at him. He raised a hand a flicked a finger and John heard the door lock behind him. "Now that you're finally ready, it's time for a talk."
