It was a late afternoon as the newly appointed SHEILD agent had went to visit the Xavier School for the Gifted Youngsters. While she was caught up on her new job she barely had time to visit her long lost husband. Since Charles Xavier was known for helping mutant kind, she did not worry one bit.

As soon as she arrived at the mansion he welcomed her in with open arms, and led her inside. While walking she looked at all the graffiti on the walls. It said, "Down with mutants, mutants go home or even death to all mutants."

"Do not worry about that I teach my students to overcome public opinion. I understand your concern Maya, ever since Gabriel's arrival here; he has been doing quite well. He's learning to control his mutant powers flawlessly." Xavier had assured.

"So there wasn't any trouble on his part?" Crimson Viper inquired.

Xavier shook his head. "No. Not at all. He's even making friends with the other mutants here."

"I've been meaning to ask, but what are his mutant powers?"

"After much research, it looks like his mutant powers include energy manipulation. Meaning that, he can channel energy of powers or magic and use it against his foes."

"I knew A.I.M had experimented on him, but not this much."

"Yes, right now he is on Jean's level, but slightly. Beast, how is Gabriel doing so far in the Danger Room?"

"Ah yes, quite well professor, he is quite a fast thinker on his feet. He handled his targets with ease." Beast replied.

Gabriel took a deep breath after coming out of the Danger Room. He felt at ease, now that he was able to control his new powers. Cyclops patted his back congratulating him on a job well done. Wolverine even gave him a congratulatory grin.

As soon as Viper greeted him everyone had left she was excited to see Gabriel in the flesh. Even if it's been months it felt like forever to her. Gabriel held onto a ball of energy in the palm of his hands showing Viper he was in control of his mutant powers.


"You will be great for my cause. Together we can overthrow those who fear us." A familiar voice whispered.

Metal flew all over the place as it ensnared Gabriel in snake like grip. Crimson Viper launched for an attack against him. But she found herself unable to move from the magnetic hold he placed her on.

"Impressive tech you got there, but it is still metal nonetheless." Magneto said. He titled his arms as he slammed Crimson Viper to the wall constantly.

Spider-man delivered a fast kick to Magneto, while on his patrol. "Hey Magneto, are you still on your conquest on mutant rights. I thought you would have learned your lesson after Jean kicked your tail."

"Foolish insect this does not concern you." Magneto swung his arm making Crimson Viper crash into each other.

"Leave it up to Magneto to make an exit." Spider-man joked.

"This isn't a joke web-head. That mutant's got my husband, and there is no telling what he's going to do to him or make him do."

Spider-man brushed off his shoulders. "Yeah Magneto has always been very persistent with recruiting mutants whether they like it or not. Good luck with getting him back, by the way."

"It looks like I'm going to need your help once again kid. Or should I say Peter Parker." She insisted.

Spider-man was stunned.

"That' right kid. While being as SHEILD agent it allows me access many profiles including yours. However, we are sworn to secrecy. "

Spider-man shrugged his shoulders. "Given the circumstances, I guess I have no choice."

"Attention everyone, all mutants should be locked up and crawled back to the cages that they came out of. They are nothing but monsters posing as humans. Am I right? Down with mutants, down with mutants?" Graydon Creed, (mutant activists) lead a crowd of protesters with a F.O.H badge on their left shoulders.

"Down with mutants!" the crowd exclaimed with sigh.

"And look at that two people helping mutant kind, no doubt to conquer us all. That means they must be one of them. Get them!"

"I'm flattered guys, but I don't swing that way." Spider-man climbed back up the wall as Crimson Viper followed as the protesters started throwing rocks and stones at the two.

"Man and here I thought I always had it rough." Spidey sighed.

"They had a label on their shoulders of F.O.H. I read the profile; it stands for Friends of Humanity. They are the number one mutant hating group in the world. They thrive on public hatred of mutants. And to make matters worse Senator Kelly was one of their supporters." She explained.

"Yeah, what Magneto has in store that will serve as more ammo to them on getting rid of mutants and Senator Kelly would love that?" Spider-man figured.

Crimson Viper nodded her head. "Right, we have to save Gabriel."

"We'll help you along the way Maya." Rogue cried catching up to her along with Gambit and Jean.

"Aw Cher, it was supposed to be our day out together." Gambit moaned.

Rogue winked at Gambit. "Don't worry Gambit, I promise I'll make it up to you on our next date."

Spider-man sat down and inquired. "Well you're the SHEILD agent, so what's the plan?"

Crimson Viper checked his waist com. "I was able to track their location from my SHEILD com within my glove. So if we check those lists of hideouts we find Magneto. I transfer some of the coordinates to your web tracker."

"Who are you, and what do you want from me?" Gabriel grunted trying escape Magneto's metal grasp.

"I am called Magneto, and you are going to help me on my cause to overthrow the humans."

"You out of your mind, if you think I'll help you. I remember you and your constant attacks on oil plants and even the United Nations. You claim to be a leader, but all you are is just a dictator." Gabriel continued to grunt.

Magneto slammed his fist on the television. "If you value what happens to the humans or your family, then you will do exactly as I say. It will be our retribution for mutant liberation. Greyton Creed will have an unfortunate accident. Senator Kelly has been supporting the Friends of Humanity since day one, so if we take him out they will be next. "

Gabriel turned his head the opposite direction in resentment, but then again he thought about his wife and daughter.

Greyton Creed held a press conference speaking out to his followers and new followers. "Everyone mutants have become nothing more but a disease that is spreading all over. And since Senator Robert Kelly refuses to support our campaign it is up to me to assure peaceful humanity. By this time we will make sure all mutants are registered."

Spider-man yawned in boredom from the rants. "Man. Just imagine if he and JJ teamed up."

"Senator Kelly supported F.O.H before on their mutant hunting crusade, but after a few rescues from the X-men he remained in the down low and even defended them at one point. Greyton Creed is trying to be the new Senator Kelly. He'll stop at nothing to assure their elimination."

Spider-man's spider sense ringed like a house alarm as he spotted danger. "Heads up C. Viper we got some company. Magneto is making his move."

Gabriel lifted both arms and aimed at Greyton Creed while continuing his speech on mutants. He created a large ball of energy over his head. In an attempt to aim at Greyton Creed, he redirected his attack at Magneto. "You will pay for this double cross." Magneto exclaimed.

Using his power of magnetism Magneto flung parts of the building at Gabriel. He held up his magnetic shield to protect him from Rogue's incoming attack. That didn't stop Gambit or Spider-man from attacking.

Magneto levitated in the air with metallic objects surrounding his entire body. "You think you have what it takes to beat the master of magnetism?"

"There you go everyone mutants true nature. No doubt they are attempting my life, because they can't stand us humans speaking the truth about mutants." Greyton spotted the fight as he activated a Sentinel robot to attack the X-men. The crowd was at an uproar. They turned into an angry mob.

With a touch Gambit triggered the objects around Magneto to explode with Kinetic energy. Spider-man grabbed Magneto's helmet. Jean used the opportunity to strike Magneto through his mind. In the process, Crimson Viper struck Magneto multiple times with her electric iron knuckles and even flame boots.

Knowing that he was getting beaten, Magneto used his last stich effort and created an electromagnetic shockwave against them to assure his escape. No way was he going back to the plastic prison again so he thought.

In the meantime, parts of the building started to fall down on the people. Right now, their top priority was getting them to safety. Spider-man, Jean, and Rogue stopped the ruble from falling on the mutant protesters. Plus they still had the Sentinel to deal with luckily it was only one.

As Sentinel shot his rocket punch Spider-man parried the move by launched the rocket punches back at the robot. And Rogue flew in for the final attack striking it in the heart.

"You mutants can continue your heroics, but I still know the truth." Greyton shouted to gain more supporters.

"And so do I Greyton Creed, and that's why I took some extra precautions on your actions." Crimson Viper shot back.

Before Greyton Creed and his followers could escape the police surrounded every last one of them.

Chun Li had done the honors with the police officers. "Greyton Creed, you're under arrest for multiple counts of hate crime, terrorism and reactivating the Sentinel project which was considered band from Senator Kelly himself."

"You'll see. You'll all see. Mutants are the scum of humanity. They will rule this world and you will see that I'm right." Greyton continued to speak out despite being taken by the police.

"The Friends of Humanity are being rounded up as we speak form their headquarters." Chun Li reported.

"Even through Gabriel wasn't born a mutant; he still had the desire to help them. Why is that?" he wondered.

"I know Spider-man, but still I imagined myself in the X-men's shoes while being at the institute. People fear what they don't understand. They deal with prejudice every time from those we seek to destroy or hate them. And besides I hear worst things about you on what the Daily Bugle says."

"Thanks again for your help kid." Viper held her hand out.

Spider-man accepted Crimson Viper's handshake. "No problem, anytime."

"We'll be here, if you need us again Spider-man."
