Lying on the metal table, Logan's eyes latched on to Jean Grey as she prepared him for and x-ray, "I'm sorry," he blurted out as if it was an impulse he could not have stopped. Jean paused what she was doing and looked puzzled, "For what?" she asked leaning over him as her head shook slightly. Logan took a deep breath and his arm lifted and pointed to her head, "If I hurt you," he admitted something that wasn't easy for him. The woman said nothing as a kind smile came to her face and she continued to remove the heart monitors off the man. Finishing up she remained silent and he looked away as she walked over to the computer behind him, his eyes followed and he did not like the awkward silence. Slightly lifting his head he glanced at his finely worked out abs and laying back down he was the first to break, "So, couldn't wait to get my shirt off again, huh?" he smugly remarked as he grinned ear to ear. Her jaw dropped at his confidence, not to mention how cocky he was, and she glanced at him like he was an idiot before she hit the start button on the computer sending him into the scanner.
The lights went off and the space was quiet before the machine was activated and the special lights activated too; as the machine recorded Logan's data jean was astonished, "The metal is an alloy called adamantium," she remarked continuing, "Supposedly indestructible. It's been surgically grafted to his entire skeleton," With his x-ray's on a lit screen she pointed out areas with this alloy as the Professor, Storm and Scott listen to what she had to say. An almost silent gasp escaped Storm's mouth, "How could he have survived a procedure like that?" she asked as her head shook side to side. With her arms crossed Jean listened to what her colleague had to say and noted, "His mutation," she began, "He has uncharted regenerative capability," she paused looking at his x-ray before continuing, "Which enables him to heal rapidly," sighing she continued to stare at the illuminated chart, "This also makes his age impossible to determine," Glancing over at the Professor she made an alarming remark, "He could very well be older than you, Professor."
The room went silent as the three listeners processed the information and stared at the chart, while Jean watched them. The first to speak up was Scott, "Who did this to him?" he questioned knowing the group was thinking the exact same thing. Jean glanced at her shaded friend and shook her head side to side, "He doesn't know," she replied, "Nor does he remember anything about his life before it happened," A grunt is heard and Scott glanced at the owner, the Professor, "Experimentation on mutants," he grumbled displeased leaning forward in his chair as he sighed, "It's not unheard of," he continued only to lean backwards into the contraption again, "But I've never seen anything like this before," his eyes focused on Logan's skeleton structure, puzzled. "What do you think Magneto wants with him?" Scott inquired just as puzzled as the professor. Wheeling forward toward the x-ray the professor continued, "I'm not entirely sure it's him Magneto wants," he spoke not liking the course of events that were bound to take place.
Tied to a chair in the cold room, the trio watched from all sides as senator Kelly looked for a way to escape; the blue morphing woman from before from before stood by a contraption while behind him a long haired man stood guarding the only doorway, and just to his left of him a yellow-green man was perched on a rock. The sound of a dove cooing reached his ears and he watched the strange man as he too heard and eyed the bird. A grin came across the man's face as his tongue lashed out toward the bird grabbing it and pulling it back into his mouth, all that remained was the feathers that hung out of the odd mans mouth. His head turned slightly as he formed a devilish grin swallowing the feathers, the senator gagged, "Yech!" he voiced loudly looking away from the repulsive thing. Light, almost nonexistent footsteps, could be heard from behind the Senator and a voice followed, "Toad has a wicked tongue, Senator," Magneto said continuing, "Just like you," finishing with that he came down the stairs and walked right in front of the kidnapped man.
The woman rested her hand on Magneto's shoulder as he stood before the not so powerful senator, "Who are you people?" the Senator questioned as panic started to sink in, "Where's Henry?" Interrupting the man, "Mr. Guyrich has been dead for some time, Senator," Magneto explained with an evil grin, "But I've had Mystique here keep you company," he commented as he reached up and held one of her hands that lay on his shoulder, "She takes so many shapes," he added humorously. The senator couldn't help but sadly grin with a realization setting in, "Whatever you do to me, you'll make me right," he started to explain, "Every word I've spoken will be confirmed," gasping for the frigid air that refused to cooperate the Senator watched as Mystique looked at Magneto and removed her hands from him then walked right passed toward the door. "Are you a God-fearing man, Senator?" Magneto questioned only to pause long enough to get his attention, "That's such a strange phrase," looking down at the man Magneto shook his head continuing on, "I've always thought of God as a teacher," he remarked, "as a bringer of light, wisdom and understanding," As he lectured the Senator he talked as if he looked down upon him and his powerful status, "You see, I think what you really are afraid of is me," he commented grinning and nodding, "Me and my kind. The Brotherhood of Mutants," he maintained looking at his followers that stood by the doorway.
Chuckling Magneto turned from the captive man and kept on, "Though it's not so surprising, really," the agreed his feet started toward the contraption Mystique was standing by earlier. To the Senator's surprise his metallic chair, which he did not register what he was sitting in till now, was moving along the metallic sidewalk along with the mutant. All while Magneto continued on with his lecture, "Mankind has always feared what it doesn't understand," His hand raised and the chair stopped in the center of the room and Magneto continued to walk and talk, "Well, don't fear God, Senator, and certainly don't fear me," he noted stopping where he was and with his back to the man he grinned, "Not anymore," he whispered devilishly. Magneto turned to face the man as the platform he was on started to elevate, "What do you intend to do with me?" The Senator questioned nervously seeing the man's grin. Disappearing for a second he reappeared at the top of the machine, "Let's just say God works to slow," he commented briefly as the devise came to a stop. Magneto's eyes glared at the Senator's and his hands locked with the metallic towers that stood next to him and the machine began to work. He stood in the middle of a hollowed out metallic circle that began to spin rapidly and Magneto's face cringed in pain as a white light seemed to ooze from the top. The Senator's jaw dropped and his eyes grew large as the white light started to fill the room and headed towards him. The captured man screamed as his breath was taken away and as quickly as it began the light reversed and got sucked back into the machine. Gasping for air the Senator was in shock as the room grew quiet.
Flipping on a light Jean turned to face the newcomer in the doorway, "I think you'll be comfortable here," she noted glancing at him for a moment and moving on toward the lamp on the other side of the room. Logan stood with his hands behind his back at the doorway slowly following her in, "Where is your room?" he questioned watching her every move. She inhaled and new this question was bound to be asked, "With Scott down the hall," she replied starting to walk back to the door when she noticed he was checking out the closet. "Is that your gift?" He questioned turning to look at her, "Putting up with that guy," Jean stopped by the foot of the bed and looked at the floor to her left before replying, "Actually, I'm telekinetic. I can move things with my mind," she voiced hesitantly walking again toward the door. Interested Logan turned from his scavenger hunt in the closet and faced her, "Really?" What kinds of things?" he asked very interested as his eyes remained on her. Then he heard the closet doors slam behind him and his head turned in question before she answered, "All kinds of things," she stated clearly seeing his eyes move back to her she added, "I also have some telepathic ability," she looked to her right that time and let out a little sigh.
The information seeped into Logan's mind and he continued the conversation, "What, like your Professor?" he questioned interested in this ability too. He watched as she shook her head, "Nowhere near that powerful," she commented seeing him take a step forward, "But he's teaching me to develop it," she watched as he strolled closer. "I'm sure he is," Logan replied his eyes never leaving hers, "So read my mind," he challenged a smirk on his face. Taking a breath Jean was not liking where this was going, "I'd rather not," she declined shaking her head. Watching her with those intense eyes he didn't give up that easily, "Come on. You afraid you might like it?" he questioned encouraging her. An amused smile came across her face, "I doubt it," she said and he remained quiet with that challenging look. Taking a breath Jean's hands rose from her sides, she'd accepted the offer, and put each to one of the temples on Logan's head before her eyes closed. The man watched interested as she worked her powers and flashes of his past filled her head. Her eyes then shot open and it was his hands that pulled hers from his head, "What do you see?" he asked shocked.
In the middle of inhaling Jean glanced to the doorway, "Scott," she voiced shocked. The new man in the doorway's face tightened at the sight of his girlfriend alone with the newcomer. He watched as she turned from Wolverine, "Good night Logan," she said looking away from him and walking out the door sliding past her boyfriend. The two remained silent until she was gone when Logan spoke first with his eyebrows raised, "You gonna tell me to stay away from your girl?" he questioned with a grin. Scott grinned also and cleverly replied, "If I had to do that, she wouldn't be my girl," Shocked by the remark Logan continued with his grin and mocked, "Hmm. Well, then, I guess you've got nothing to worry about," he stated his hands went behind his back and he passed over towards the man, "Do you, Cyclops?" Eger for a challenge Scott wasted no time bringing it up, "Yeah, it must just burn you up that a boy like me saved your life, huh?" he chuckled continuing, "You ought to be careful. I might not be there next time," he warned with that clever grin turning to go down the hall he paused to add something else, "Oh, and, Logan," he started his hand stopping the door that was already starting to close, "stay away from my girl," he said watching the man's silent temper as he grabbed the door knob and closed it on his way out.
Later that night it seemed Mark had been able to bunk with a few of the other students, but he couldn't sleep. It had been a few hours but nothing he did would make him the least bit drowsy, 'I wonder if Logan is having trouble sleeping?' the brown haired boy questioned silently hopping out of bed and out the door without a sound and down the hall. A creak is heard as he opens the man's bedroom door, once inside he could hear grunts and mumbling as if he was having a bad dream. A concerned look came over his face when his friend started gasping for breaths, "Logan," Mark whispered coming to the side of his bed. His hand reached out to touch his bare shoulder when he remembered he wasn't wearing his gloves and slightly pulled away. "Logan. Logan, wake up," Mark repeated quietly again as the man's dream seemed to intensify. The boy didn't know what was going on and refused to touch him and waited nervously just as the man's eyes shoot open and he yelled and Mark screamed, and Logan's instinctive reflex his claws came out and stabbed Mark in the chest. His face cringed in pain and he could hardly breathe when he felt the claws retract, Logan's horrified face didn't help ether as he choked trying to get air. He watched the boy not knowing what to do and said, "Help me," with no response as Mark started to kneel to the ground Logan screamed, "Somebody help!"
'I don't have a choice,' Mark thought as the pain coursed through his body, 'I'm going to die,' his hand slowly reached out to Logan's cheek as his other grasped the floor keeping him from falling over. His fingers brushed across the man's skin and his powers were awakened, the veins in the man's face popped to the surface and his jaw dropped as Mark "borrowed" Logan's power to heal. Logan gasped as Marks wound started to heal automatically and he watched helplessly as the pain started to numb. He could tell by the shadow on the wall in front of him that the hallway light was on and he could hear footsteps behind him and the eyes of people watching. His eyes clenched closed as the remainder of his injury healed and his hand finally pulled away, his hand pushed from the floor and he jumped back as Logan fell to the floor. A figure went pasted him and kneeled down to help his friend, "Scott, get a pillow," the woman advised lifting Logan's head off the ground as he convulsed. Mark's eyes reopened and he watched but couldn't take it and turned toward the door seeing Storm there watching in shock, "It was an accident," he voiced uneasy and her expression to him read that he was a monster. The younger mutants crowded in around the door and Mark couldn't take the looks any longer and headed for that same door, where the crowd might as well have jumped backwards to get out of his way. Among the crowd was the boy from earlier, Bobby, but he didn't notice him his eyes were glued to the floor in shame.
That night he didn't return to the room he was staying in, he instead hid in the classroom he was in earlier where he met Bobby. He sat in the darkened room with his back pressed to the wall as the plants giant leaves fell over his figure. It was then thoughts of what happened the first time his power showed up, and his stomach clenched as he felt tears exit his eyes. He wasn't just any old everyday mutant, he was a monster.
A sudden gasp for air and Logan's eyes opened wide he was laying down in a foreign room, "Logan?" Xavier stated seeing the man was now conscious. He looked around and it was as if he had a hangover, "What happened?" Logan breathed looking at the man confused when another thought hit him, "Is he all right?" he breathed again as the events that occurred the previous night came back to him. The man known as Xavier, also called the Professor, nodded and calmly replied, "He'll be alright," the professor watched as Logan's eyes clenched closed and he fought to form a sentence, "What did he do to me?" he questioned fighting to get the words out. Xavier took a breath and started his explanation, "Whenever Rogue touches someone he takes their energy, their life force," the man took a breath before continuing, "In the case of mutants, he absorbs their gifts for a short while," Nodding Xavier added, "In your case, your ability to heal," Xavier watched as Logan fought through the mild pain, "I feel like he almost killed me," he commented his eyes remained closed. "If he'd held out any longer, he could have," Xavier noted getting the exhausted mans attention as his head turned in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Senator Kelly clung to the iron bars of the only window that just so happened to overlook the ocean and the enormous drop down. His head was rested against the metallic bars when he heard the sound of someone coming as the door they came through squeaked. The Senator looked horrified at the thought of what these mutants would do to him next and he turned back to the barred window and once again rested his head between the bars praying for a way out. It was then that his head started to compact to the gap in between the bars and his head slid through. Pulling his head back his eyes grew wide and his jaw dropped in disbelief as he looked at the size of the small gap he just squeezed through. Another door was heard unlocking and the Senator looked back knowing they were drawing closer, and then he turned his gaze back to the bared window. He proceeded to squeeze his head through again and succeeded, his prayers were answered but not in the way he would have hoped as he felt his body compact to fit through the small space for his escape. All while Magneto walked across a metal bridge that appeared as he walked, from the metal tiles that lined the lower walls. His hand waved and the metal bars that kept the Senator captive bowed away allowing an entrance to be made, "How are we feeling, Senator?" Magneto questioned mockingly as he stepped into the cell, "Advanced I hope," he glanced to his left then to his right but the Senator was nowhere to be seen. He then looked on the ceiling and then down to the floor and interestingly enough he saw the man's shoes by the bared window.
Coyly Magneto grinned and raised his hand only to pull it backwards and the bared window broke away from the wall and flew to the other side of the room before it fell to the ground. The magnetic mutant then walked up to the opened window and folding his arms he looked down and there was the Senator clinging to the rocks just below, "What the hell have you done to me?" the Senator yelled over the whistling wind that whipped by them. Magneto laughed, "Senator, this is pointless," he started a smile on his face, "Where would you go?" he questioned amused, "Who would take you in now that you're one of us?" he continued that devilish smile of his seeing the Senator start to break down. Magneto then started to laugh amused and pulled away from the window signally for the other mutant follower with longer hair and a growl to get the Senator back inside. He beast wasted no time stepping up to the window and with a glance at the Senator his hand reached out and pulled the Senator's dragging him up. Screaming the Senator felt his arm stretch and saw it too as his hand slipped through the other mutant's hand, though he quickly reached out again grabbing the Senators jacket and heard it rip and the man screamed as he fell down the cliff. The mutant watched shocked with the cloth still in his hand as he saw the Senator hit the water before he sheepishly pulled back in the window showing Magneto the only thing he got was the man's jacket. Magneto looked at his follower in disgust and shook his head turning and walking out of the room and before the other could follow him his arm rose and the metal bars that were once bowed went back to their erect stance locking the man inside. The long haired blond hit the bars unexpectedly and growled angrily as he watched his boss walk away.
Mark didn't even notice when he managed to fall asleep but his eyes slowly opened to the sound of chirping birds and looking around he noticed the classroom was still empty. Stiffly he stood up and looked around again and still no one, he then sighed and knew what he had to do, find a quiet spot to think. Walking over to the door he looked out and when he noticed the cost was clear he made a dash down the hall and outside. There were a few more students outside, but they paid him no mind and kept their distance, he tried to do the same while looking around the large estate for somewhere to sit. Through the trees he found it, a bench not occupied by anyone between two trees and that is where he went. From the spot he watched the students laugh and talk as he contemplated what he should do when a voice called out to him from behind, "Rogue," the familiar voice said shocked. Mark's head turned and found the voice belonged to Bobby, "Bobby," Rogue replied watching him come around the bench and sit next to him, "Rogue, what did you do?" he questioned watching him, "They say that you're stealing other mutants' powers." The pit in his stomach grew, "No, no," Rogue started his head shook, "I borrowed his powers," he clarified his eyes watched Bobby's reaction. Shaking his head in disapproval, "You never use your power against another mutant," Bobby stated firmly and harshly. Rogue's gut clenched again, 'a monster,' he thought as his face reflected the hurt, "I had no choice," he replied trying to make him understand. Bobby's head shook again and he looked away from him, "No, you have to understand me," Rogue continued pleading to him. Bobby looked back and with ice cold eyes he started, "If I were you I'd get myself out of here,"
Rogue's voice disappeared and he watched confused, "What do you mean?" he asked his head was so turned around he didn't know which answer was the right one. Bobby's confident voice spoke up again, "Listen, the students are freaked," he noted seeing his expression and adding, "Professor Xavier's furious," his head shook once more trying to get the point across, "I don't know what he'll do with you," he watched as the new boy swallowed and his eyes found the ground. Rogue was at a loss for words when Bobby continued, "I think it'll be easier on your own," he remarked and suddenly it seemed his choice was made for him. Rogue's eyes closed, he didn't want to listen to Bobby but what else was he to do, it seemed he was telling him the truth. Taking another breath Bobby stated, "You should go," and with that Rogue couldn't take anymore, he got up and walked away from the boy he thought he would be friends with without even looking back. Bobby on the other hand, grinned as his eye color shifted to yellow, was not Bobby at all.
Back in the lab Xavier studied the x-ray from earlier, "What are you looking for, Eric?" he questioned wheeling backwards in his wheelchair as Scott stood off to the side his arms crossed, "It's strange. There are more powerful mutants out there," his brain thought of numinous possibilities but nothing seemed to make sense, "Why should this one be so important to him?" he questioned out loud. Scott now eyed the x-ray himself and spoke, "Maybe it's his way with people," he threw in, his dislike for the man showing. Xavier paused before replying, "You don't like him," he stated almost sarcastically. Scott grinned, "How did you know?" he joked already knowing the answer. Xavier merely smiled, "Well, I am psychic you know," Just then the main door opened to the lab and Logan along with Storm walk in at a quickened pace, "Where is he?" Logan asked his fists clenched. Scott turned his head confused, "Who?" he questioned however Xavier already knew and his eyes went wide, "Rogue," he stated as he used his powers, "He's gone,"
Furious, "What do you mean gone?" Logan growled his fists were still clenched as Xavier's wheelchair began to move. "Calm down," he stated heading out the very door they had come through and down the hall, "I have a way to find him," Logan, Scott, and Storm follow the man down the hall where they meet up with Jean, and are stopped by an iron door. The Professor's eye is scanned and a computer generated voice said, "Welcome, Professor," and the door opened to a circular room with only a narrow platform to walk on. "Welcome to Cerebro," Xavier commented to Logan as he wheeled his chair down to the end where the devise was. He stopped as Logan followed him in looking around, "This certainly is a big, round room," he commented looking at the ceiling. Xavier smiled and started to push buttons, "The brain waves of mutants are different from average human beings," he noted getting the man's attention, "This device amplifies my power allowing me to locate mutants across great distances," he looked over his shoulder to look at Logan but it didn't go as planned as he continued, "That is how I intend to find Rogue," he finally finished. Looking at him as if he had a bright idea, "Why don't you just use it to find Magneto?" Logan questioned thinking someone with powers such as Xavier would have thought of that. The older man shook his head, "I've been trying," he commented filling in the new comer, "But he seems to have found some way to shield himself from it," his eyes rest on the metallic helmet in front of him and his hands reached out for it as Logan replied to the newly acquired information. "How would he know how to do that?" he questioned still new to all of the information around him. Xavier spoke up with a sad but obvious remark, "Because he helped me build it," and with that Logan had nothing left to say, "Now, if you'll excuse me," Xavier remarked pulling the helmet up over his head. That was his queue to exit and let the man do his work and that he did.
Logan exited and as the doors closed he turned to face Jean, "Have you ever," he started as Jean read his mind and finished the sentence for him, "Used Cerebro?" she questioned shaking her head as he watched, "No. It takes a degree of control and, uh, for someone like me, it's," she paused to think of the possibilities of what could happen. Scott was the one that finished her sentence that time, "Dangerous," he noted nodding. The machine activated and Xavier's eyes closed as he sifted through images of millions of different human beings looking for Rogue, and found him. The doors opened and Xavier nearly blurted out, "He's at the train station," he stated looking at Scott and Jean. Logan didn't waste time on the small talk, "Where is it?" he questioned reading to dash after him, this was his fault after all. Xavier turned to answer his question, "A few miles west of here. Logan you can't leave the mansion," he warned his head shaking, "It's just the opportunity Magneto needs," Logan shook it off as his temper rose, "Listen I'm the reason he took off," Xavier was not going to let him go that easy, "We had a deal," he started. Storm cut in between the two looking at both of them, "He's all right," she said looking at Xavier, "He's just upset," she continued her glance turning to Logan. Xavier spoke up again looking at both Storm and Scott, "Storm, Cyclops, find him," he asked adding, "See if you can talk to him," Jean and Wolverine watched Xavier at the two walked off in search for Rogue. The duo made their way through the mansion to the garage that had many different types of vehicles, and Cyclops stopped looking at an empty spot on the floor. Storm, who was ahead of him turned to see the reason why, "What?" she asked coming to a complete stop then looked in the direction he was looking in. He looked at her then back at the floor, "Where's my motorcycle?" he asked shocked a horrified look covered his face.
Meanwhile on the road Wolverine was on a mission to get to the station as fast as he could on the two wheeled vehicle. He eyed all the fancy buttons and one in particular caught his attention, a silver button with arrows on it and like the curious person he was, he pushed it. The motorcycle sped up extremely and it was all Wolverine could do to keep from flying off it as he zoomed down the deserted road. He followed Xavier's directions and found the station without trouble, how could you not find a train station? He parked the vehicle and from there he asked one of the tellers and found him in no time. He boarded the train Rogue was on and walked down the ail reaching his seat, "Hey, kid," he spoke standing there getting his attention. He sat down and sighed and he looked away awkwardly so Wolverine said it first, it was his fault after all, "I'm sorry about last night," he looked away and noticed a mother with her child in the booth over, "Me too," Rogue agreed in a low voice. The older man turned back to look at the boy, who was now looking ahead of him, "You running again?" he questioned trying to calm him down. Rogue took a breath and sighed, "I heard the professor was mad at me," he almost quoted wondering if Wolverine had got the memo. The man was lost, "Well, who told you that?" Wolverine asked knowing whoever told him had to have been lying. The boy sighed again and looked directly at Wolverine, "A boy at school," he answered.
Just then at the mansion Bobby was walking down the hall disappointed and confused as his two friends followed close behind, "When's the last time you saw him?" one questioned trying to understand the situation. Taking a breath the ice man replied clueless, "He was supposed to meet me for lunch," the trio headed down the hallway to the room he was staying in, "Maybe he forgot," the third friend spoke up. As they passed a paneled wall it slid open to reveal a second Bobby that grinned as he looked to see if the cost was clear. He headed down to the lower level and to the area where the Professor used the Cerebro to locate Rogue, he then kneeled to the ground and his eyes went yellow and changed color and shape. The scanner detected nothing wrong and had a positive match, "Welcome Professor," it said in that computerized voice and the doors opened. Standing back up Bobby's flesh seemed to melt and disappear and was replaced by blue skin and black scales, it was Mystique. She walked down the dock to the end and on the right side she kneeled down again and opened a panel that had wires and tubes that connected to the main machine itself. From there she unhooked one of the tubes that led to a mixing chamber of white fluid and inserted a vile in between the two, turning the once white fluid green.
Rogue watched Wolverine and wondered why he was here, he was more of a father figure to the boy than anything else and he was positive the man felt nothing for him. Then a thought hit him, "You think I should go back," he voiced watching the man struggle for words. Wolverine's eyes watched the seat in front of him, "No, I think you should follow your instincts," They were both silent then and Rogue looked broken, "The first boy I ever kissed ended up in a coma for three weeks," there was no taking back what he said and he continued, "I can still feel him inside my head," he paused reading the expression on Wolverine's face. Was it the shock that he said boy or maybe it was that he had hospitalized a non-mutant that long unintentionally, Rogue didn't know but continued to voice what his instincts told him, "And it's the same with you," It wasn't fair that he of all people had this unwanted undesired ability and his eyes slowly released silent tears that rolled down his pale cheek. It was then that the train jerked to a start and the bells on the contraction started to sound. Back at the train station Storm and Cyclops finally arrived and it was Storm who dished out the orders, "You look around," she said walking past him, "I'll check with the ticket agent," and that is just what Cyclops did he found a boarding chart and went down the list of the different places while Storm tried to describe Rogues features to the ticket agent. "He's about 17, my height, has brown hair," she paused as a growl is heard right behind her and as she turned her throat was caught by the beast man from earlier. He picked her clear off the ground and growled louder whispering in her ear, "Scream for me," he instigated as she gasped and slammed her against the ticket counter glass wall.
Cyclops turned to see what all the commotion was and saw beast and headed for him to save his friend, however toad, who was perched on the ceiling of the train station wasn't going to let that happen. His green tongue lashed out and grabbed Cyclops sunglasses clear off his face and the man's eyes sent a red beam of light through the roof of the building. Cyclops eyes closed immediately and the rubble that remained fell to the ground showering the bystanders that remained onsite. Although this was an opportunity for Storm to work her powers, and her eyes went white. Static started to make the beasts hair stand on end and looking up through the whole in the roof he roared as lightning started to clash and struck him sending him across the room and through the wall to the other room. Toad followed the creature leaping from the ceiling to the ground and through the whole that was created and landed with his feet in between the others head, "Quit playing around," he warned getting a growl out of the weird mutant.
The train that had started to take off rumbled and was jerked to a stop, people screamed and looked around confused as the lights flickered. Wolverine stood up and looked around to where all this could be coming from and it was then that all the metal objects started to act crazy as someone approached the back entrance to the cabin. The walls in the cabin shook and then broke as did the ceiling and more people screamed as they tried to get away. Wolverine did the opposite as he took a step forward the electrical sparks and the clouds of dust started to subside he could make out a figure flouting in the air. Magneto slowly landed on the train only to be met by Wolverine who's claws came out aggressively, "You must be Wolverine," Magneto commented as his arm rose and the other froze, "That remarkable metal doesn't run through your entire body, does it?" he questioned intrigued. Wolverine's eyes spoke loud and clear although he didn't want them too. His arm clenched then released and it was as though Wolverine was now a puppet, his arms were straight out to his sides and his back was straight as he started to bend the man's claws in opposite directions lifting him farther off the ground as he did so.
Unable to take much more of this Rogue screamed, "Stop! Stop it!" he rose from his chair in his booth and shook. Struggling to breathe the puppet spit, "What the hell do you want with me," Wolverine grunted wanting to know the answer. Amused by that question Magneto couldn't help but answer him truthfully, "You? My dear boy, whoever said I wanted you?" he grinned and the realization hit him. The cabin ducked as Magneto sent Wolverine flying over all their heads sending him straight into the wall. Rogue stood up still shaking he eyed this powerful man, if he was looking for him he knew all about his powers which meant he could help him. "What do you want with me?" Rogue spoke up as he stepped from his booth into the ail facing the metal man. Magneto watched his hands now at his sides, "In due time boy," he replied turning to walk away. This was his chance, "Wait," Rogue yelled after him as he glanced at the injured Wolverine he was doing what his instincts told him, "I'm coming with you," he said running after the man with the metal powers.
