Chapter Two: Almost Perfect
John sighed as he stared up at the church or theatre, whatever he didn't care, it was just one of many places Magneto was taking him. He had to admit the travelling from place to place to place got tiring especially if all you wanted to do was sit and relax but travelling had its perks, new things to destroy, new people, new girls. Man the girls, Brunettes, Redheads hell he'd take them all, except blondes they tended to remind him of Riley, not that he missed her because he didn't. Honestly. 'Jesus I can't even convince myself'. Okay so he didn't pick blondes because he was perhaps a little bit afraid that he would call out the wrong name and somehow he figured that might ruin the moment.
"Pyro"
His name being spoken pulled him out of his musings, he nodded towards Magneto and followed him closely behind. He could tell what old Mags was feeling by the different tones of his voice, right now he's calm, collected, confident which is what he is most of the time usually a little bit cocky at times but John respected that I mean how many people can bend metal with just there mind. More importantly who could make fire to do anything they wished, okay so John was a little cocky. 'Sue me.'
Walking into the church/theatre both stood at the back as not to get noticed by any of them mutant occupying the building, which was in actual fact quite a few.
The guy on stage continued talking, "This cure is voluntary. Nobody's is talking about extermination."
Listening to the mutant on stage go on and on about being prepared, laying low John was about ready to shoot himself thankfully Magneto interrupted causing all heads to snap towards them as they made their way towards the stage.
"No one ever talks about it. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then one day, when the air is still and the night is fallen, they come for you"
The stage man looked absolutely troubled with being interrupted, "Excuse me..."
He was ignored as Magneto looked over the mutants standing before him, "Only then do you realize that while you're talking about organizing and committees, the extermination has already begun. Make no mistake, my brothers, they will draw first blood. They will force their cure upon us. There is only one question you must answer: Who will you stand with?"
With that said Magneto practically floated off stage, John following closely behind near pouting, 'I didn't even get to set anything on fire.'
The both however turned back when two mutants followed them, one female who was giving them glance over and one male who sneered at them.
"You talk pretty tough for a guy in a cape"
John smiled inwardly, his turn, flicking up his wrist a fireball appeared in his palm, "Back off".
"If you're so proud of being a mutant, where's your mark?" The female inquired.
"I have been marked once, my dear and let me assure you, no needle shall ever touch my skin again", Magneto appeared amused but John could hear the bitterness in his voice.
Feeling he should say something he decided to give his boss a somewhat ego boost, "Do you know who you're talking to?"
It apparently worked as Magneto let a small smile slip onto his face before his eyes were drawn to the boy who now had spikes poking out of his head as he sneered once again at them.
"Do you?"
John smirked at the kid beside him, he had guts that's for sure. A flash of blonde caught his eye and he turned his head sharply, his heart pounding before he sighed dejected realising it wasn't her. Not that he cared. At all.
"And what can you do?" John was startled by Magneto's question realising he hadn't been paying attention to the conversation happening.
He watched interested as the girl moved at almost a blur in front of them before returning to her original position.
"So you do have some talents my dear"
The girl smirked, "That and more"
John couldn't help but smirk along with her, this was almost perfect. Almost.
So there's Johns chapter. Review Please.
Okay do Magneto and John find Mystique next? God I need to watch X3 again. Help me! Lol.
