Around the same time that night…
Magneto's evil lair (the kitchen)
"I can't believe you let Toad order the pizza!" Screamed Lance at Pietro, "What are we suppose to do with fifty fricking bucks worth of anchovy and bleu cheese pizza!"
"Eat it yo…this stuff is TaaaaaSTY!" Toad took a huge bite of the smelly pizza.
"Meh, its food…" Blob joined in Toad's feast.
"Look Alvers, well just break into my dad's office and get some more money…No problem…" Pietro really didn't care about not eating, he had a hoard of junk food in his room anyway, he just wanted to shut Alvers up…
What Pietro didn't know was that Lance wanted to break into Magneto's office, he just needed an excuse. He had to find out what Magneto and the rest of his cronies were up to…He was tired of being in the dark…
"Shouldn't we get rid of Mystique first before we try anything?" Ask a nervous Alvers…
"She left already…the smell was to much for her…She mumbled something about a shooting range…" Said Fred with a mouth half full of pizza…
"Great, then you two pigs can stand guard while Lance and I search the Bucket Heads office for more cash…I am tired of being handed allowance by that Russian tin can…"
Minutes later the four of them were standing in front of the steel door, starching their heads trying to figure out how to open it…there wasn't a doorknob…
"Fred, will you put that pizza away, the smell is ruining my concentration…"
The Blob looked at the box and threw it in the nearest available room, Mystique's to be exact…
"Hey, what's that yo?" Toad pushed a greasy finger on a loose piece of brick on the wall. A buzzing sound was heard as the brick popped out of the wall, a panel of letters was revealed, and a soothing melodic female voice asked for the code.
"Ummm…whats the code Pietro?" Lance looked over at his partner in crime…
"How should I know…"
"Well he is your father…"
"Please enter the code…" Sounded the voice again.
"Try 'Bucket Head' yo…" Laughed Todd, Fred gave him a high five and laughed along with him…
"Shut up Tolansky, this is serious…" Lance punched him in the shoulder, sending him to the floor…
"Ouch, yo" Toad got up and rubbed his shoulder…
"Just try it Alvers, we don't have anything better to go on…" Pietro backed up Toad for the first, and most likely last time in his life…
"Fine…."
He punched in the buttons forcefully, whispering under his breath the proceeding letters…
"INCORRECT CODE…SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INTITIATED…"
"WHAT THE HELL!"
"PIETRO…GIVE US ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF!!" Screamed Lance over the now blaring alarms…
The Speed demon racked his brain for anything…something that his father would use, and no one would possible know…
"MAGDA! USE MAGDA!" Screamed Pietro.
"WHAT? ARE YOU SURE?"
"JUST DO IT!"
Lance punched in the letters as Pietro dictated them…
"CODE CORRECT…you may now enter. Have a pleasant day."
All four boys cried a collective sigh, as Lance and Pietro then walked through the now open door as Todd and Fred kept watch.
"So where do you think…" Lance was about to ask Pietro where they should start in the massive room, when he saw something that made him stop.
Behind a gigantic pewter desk stood a massive cabinet, standing nearly twice the size of Lance, and wider then two Blobs.
"You'd think he'd keep all his files on a computer like every other evil genius…" mumbled Pietro.
"Common…Let's take a look…" Lance grabbed Pietro's arm and dragged him over to the files.
As they got closer they saw each drawer was labeled with a name, in alphabetical order.
"Alvers, Lance…" Mumbled Lance as he looked over the didn't names…
The drawer didn't have a handle on it, and no place for a lock…
"Hey Pietro, how do you think he opens these things?" Called Lance over to his teammate, who like he was trying to open his own file…
"I dunno…maybe he uses his powers open the metal or something…HEY GET OVER HERE!" Yelled Pietro.
Lance ran over and saw what Quicksilver had, and open cabinet…
"Whose is it?" Ask Lance…
"Its Rogues…" Both looked at each other…
Lance reached over and began shifting through the files…all sealed with metallic binding. But there was one thing in that back of the drawer that caught his eye.
He reached back and held the plastic box in his hand, bringing it forth to the dimly lit room.
"Brother Hood Boarding House Surveillance" Lance read off the label…
"Do you know what this might be?" Asked and enthusiastic Lance to Pietro…
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING IN HERE!!" Screamed Mystique from the door of the office…
"Ummm…Mystique we were just…we were just…" Mumbled Lance. He wouldn't have been so scared had she not been wielding at 35mm in her hand, and he didn't want to use his power for fear of leaving evidence of his and Pietro's visit.
"WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING?" Once again screamed the red faced blue girl.
"I think its time we bail…" Whispered Pietro as he grabbed Lance's arm and speed off past Mystique.
Mystique saw them flash by, and an evil smile creep upon her now elegantly calm face.
She brought her wrist to her face and with the other hand pressed a button on the side.
"Mystique here. Phase three is complete."
"Good work Mystique. Contact Sabertooth and the Acolytes. It is time for another meeting." Magneto's rich, deep voice could be heard through a speaker.
Just then a flash of lightening struck, and the silhouette of the Metal Manipulator could be seen in the window. His eyes glaring back through to Mystique.
Back in Pietro's Room.
The four boys sat in Pietro's large room. Pietro taking his place on the large recliner he had in the corner, Toad and Blob were sharing the bed and Lance was pacing back and forth.
"What the hell were you two doing!! You were suppose to be on the look out for us! Mystique could have killed us!" Ranted Lance, the same he had been doing for the last ten minutes after they got Fred and Todd inside.
"Just chill yo!, We were doing our jobs. Infact Freddy and I here were investigating a suspicious noise…" Toad said with full confidence…
"Yeah," interjected Fred, "My stomach…"
Toad punched him across his fatty arm, having no effect what so ever on Blob, but successfully breaking a bone in his hand..
"Damnit, yo…and I just got the other cast of to!"
"Damit you to! Will you ever follow orders! Were suppose to be a Brotherhood…" Lance began his rant again…
"Lance, cool it. Kay?" Pietro was going tired of this game.
"Fine. But I am not done with you to…"
"LANCE!"
"Fine…Pietro, get the TV ready…Its time we see what is exactly on this videotape, and what it has to do with Rogue…"
