Chapter 84
.
Note: Carrie is from the Stephen King novel of the same name. This version of Magneto is from the Xmen movies, Erik Killmonger is from the movie version of "Black Panther." Dr Doom is from no particular version.
.
Over the summer of 2023 a number of "concerned parents groups" ran ads featuring Carrie White. In her word Carrie was a telekenetic, which developed after years of physical and emotional abuse from her mother and other classmates. It all erupted at her prom, all the rage unleashed at once. This resulted in the deaths of several of Carrie White's classmates and tenagers. Carrie then committed suicide. In other worlds, Carrie was recruited by the Xmen, or went to Hogwarts with Harry Potter. These three versions of Carrie, possibly other versions, were all in Antarctica. How these groups even knew remained a mystery, but now they used it in their fear campaigns, saying how their children wouldn't be safe if Alien Refugees were allowed to attend american schools. Even in Antarctica some were coming to side with Chase Graves, arguing that they should restrict further immigration. Magneto had listened to Xavier, to the Morlock leader, he wanted to keep his options open. He met with Erik Killmonger and Victor Von Doom. All three of these men were considered villains, or antiheroes depending on whom one asked. Magneto decided that they might be useful allies.

Magneto: We all have a few thing sin common. We are all willing to do what is neccessary for our respective peoples. We simply define the term "My people" differently. I view all mutants as my people. Erik views his people as the oppressed all over the world. And, Victor Von Doom, correct me if I'm wrong here, but you are the, president, of Latvaria. And you view citizens of Latvaria as your people.
Doom: That's about right. I truley want what is best for my citizens. There is no back breaking labor, good education and healthcare systems.
Killmonger: Ofcourse didn't others call you a dictator?
Doom: I did what was neccessary. Unfortunately, Latvaria no longer exists.
Magneto: You want power again, and you are willing to improve your people's circumstances to do it.
Doom: What is your point?
Magneto: The Council is seriously considering restricting the flow of refugees from Hell. That seems wrong to me.
Killmonger: I don't disagree. What do you suggest?
Magneto: If it becomes illegal here to bring in more refugees, we do it anyway. If there are enough of us, I prefer not to go to war. But we need to be ready. With enough strength we can force them to, well secceed.
Killmonger: Like the Confederacy?
Magneto: We'd be the ones fighting for the rights of others, but the basics of seccession would apply. Antarctica is big enough for multiple nation states.
Doom; I'm liking this idea. If I were the savior, partial savior at least, of these refugees, I could become their leader.
Killmonger: I'm thinking of a power sharing government.
Magneto: We can work out the details of this new government over time. My point is, could I count on you two to help rescue these refugees of neccessary?
Killmonger: I'm in.
Doom: Me too.
