Ok, I'm really really sorry. This chapter is really short. Writers block…aurg……well, here it is. Hope this helps for a bit. Between writers block and limited ascess to a computer, it was the best I could do. I welcome suggestions.


X-Men:

"What do ya mean Kataria"
Wolverine asked slowly.

"I...I couldn't let anyone else find out. They'd of killed me"
The voice was completely serious.
She motioned toward the crest emblazoned sword that Wolverine still held. It flew towards her and landed firmly in her hand. She looked puzzled when she felt Wolverine coming closer to her, then halted her pull. The X-Men stared at her.
"What, what did I do something wrong"
There was fear in her voice.
Logan shook his head and gingerly touched her arm. She jumped.
"Calm down kid"
He said in the same gentle, commanding voice. Then he turned to Charles.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Charles raised his eyebrow.
"It is highly unusual, but so are the circumstances."


Brotherhood:

Magneto grinned, practically able to taste the metal surrounding them. The swords, the axes, and yes, the armor. He realized his power was practically limitless. Had he thought there was an absence of metal earlier? Oh, how wrong he had been.

Sabretooth grinned as he realized what they were talking about.
"Hmm…..wonder if the X-Men have figured this out yet?"

Meanwhile, Toad, Blob, Pyro, and Avalanche were concerned more about the state of their clothing than Magneto's quest for power.

Blob was dressed in velvet. And he was hungry, very hungry. His clothes were stained with mud. Toad and Pyro had gotten into a mud slinging fight earlier that day and were currently both covered in mud, as was everyone except Magneto, Mystique, and Sabretooth. After Toads near escape from death at Sabretooth's hands, he tended to leave him alone for a bit.
