A few minutes later Erik and Julian were in a large room. It was a giant circle. It had black walls, unlike everywhere else Julian had seen of this place. Sitting around in the room were several people. One who had short blond hair and blue eyes was sitting on a wood box playing with fire. Julian recognized him as the one who had knocked her out. She glared at him for a moment then looked around the room at the other people. There was a man in the corner playing cards alone. He had short dark hair that fell in his face and black eyes with red irises. There was another man with metal skin moving large boxes. Also in the room was a man carving something in the floor with large claws. He freaked Julian out so she went back to looking at the others. Specifically the blond. She tugged on her uncle's arm "Who's he?" she asked, pointing at the blond. Erik lead her over to him "Pyro." the guy looked up at him. "Yea mate?" The man asked in an Australian accent. Erik indicated to Julian with his hand "This is my niece Julian. Julian this is Pyro." Pyro smiled at the young girl "Good ta meet ya mate." Julian laughed then slapped him. Both Erik and Pyro looked at her in shock. "What was that's for?" Pyro asked, shocked of what just happened. Julian giggled "That's for knocking me out and kidnapping me." Erik smiled slightly and said "Julian you can't blame him. He was under orders to knock out anyone who went down there." Julian scoffed "So what? He still did it." Erik chuckled and asked "Well now that you've met him would you like to meet the rest of my men?" Julian nodded and said "Okay." She looked around the room, her eyes landing on the guy playing cards. She walked over to him, pulling Erik along with her. The stopped in front of the man who looked up at them. "Can I help you?" he asked in a French accent. Before Erik could say anything Julian asked "What's your name?" The man shifted his gaze to the girl. "Gambit, and you are?" She smiled "I'm Julian! Your eyes are really cool!" she said excitedly. Gambit smiled slightly "Well my ami it's a pleasure to meet you." Julian smiled again and looked around then pulled her uncle over to the man with metal skin. He had his back turned so Erik had to call his name "Pitor." The man turned around and said "Sir." in a thick Russian accent. Erik did a nod in greeting then said "This is my niece Julian. Julian this is Pitor." Julian smiled and waved at him. He looked down at her and smiled. "It's good to meet you." he said. Julian asked "Why are you made of metal?" Pitor shook his head "I am not made of metal. I can just create metal armor over my skin." Julian nodded "That's cool." Pitor shrugged and went back to his work. Julian sighed and looked around the room. The only person they hadn't talked to was the guy who freaked her out. She looked up at her uncle "What's his name?" she asked pointing at him. Erik looked down at her "That's Sabertooth. I understand if you don't want to go talk to him." Julian nodded and looked around. She stood there a moment thinking about what to do next when her uncle said "I'm afraid I've got some things I need to do. You can stay here and talk or go back to your room and play there." Julian nodded as Erik walked off, calling for Sabertooth to go with him.
