Boston

Magneto walked through the streets of Boston, Massachusetts, his phone rang. He looked and saw that Mystique was calling him. He answered, "Did you find the girl?" he asked without breaking stride.

"No, someone else got involved and then Xavier's kiddies showed up" she answered over the phone prompting a sigh from Magneto.

"Very well, get Sabretooth and Toad back to base, I'm almost in position in Boston and I will be joining you there as soon as I'm done" he ordered, "Also have Sabretooth call his friend he mentioned before we separated, we could use the extra pair of hands after all" he finished as he hung up the phone.

Magneto rounded a corner and came to his destination, the Robert Kelly Correctional Facility or the Box as mutants had come to call it. Robert Kelly was a Massachusetts Senator with aspirations far higher than the Senate and he had chosen mutants as his path to greener pastures. Kelly had pushed for stronger regulations for mutants and was the main supporter of Mutant Registration and just to ensure that the public understood he funded the Robert Kelly Correctional Facility, a prison specially designed to handle mutant criminals.

Magneto was across the street from the prison, seething knowing that the mutants inside were being held in far rougher conditions than other humans that had abilities in other prisons. Magneto had plans, plans that would ensure that something like this would never happen again.

The Box

Fred Dukes sat inside his cell, looking around from spot to spot looking for something to do, Dukes mutation was his pliable body mass which pretty much worked like armor. He had been arrested trying to rob a bank in Dallas, when he went to make his escape he accidentally dropped the vault he was carrying on his own head. He woke up here and discovered that his cell had been designed to keep his body mass in check. He sighed and looked to his left spotting a much smaller man.

Dominikos Petrakis was attempting to nap in his cell but the metal slab that the guards called a bed was so uncomfortable; sleep was something he had not truly enjoyed since being arrested escaping from ICE agents. He had used his ability to create seismic waves from his hands to escape from the agents it didn't help him when they waited for him to sleep before sending in one of the Mutant Response Teams that managed to tranquilize him before he could get his bearings and use his power. His cell had been suspended off of the ground with seismic resistant walls that reverberated his waves back into the cell that caused him great pain.

David Cannon was doing some push ups in his cell, hoping for a second round with Iron Man that he didn't get when he escaped the Raft almost a year ago now. He didn't stay free long, when Loki dropped them all off in New York Cannon got cocky and went to a bar and was quickly surrounded by Shield Agents. His spinning ability didn't get him out of that jam and he was moved to the Box when it opened eight months ago. The guards would often taunt him with his nickname Whirlwind, since he whirl-winded right back into prison. His cell was designed to contain both high winds and friction in order to help keep his mutant abilities in check.

Outside the guards were in the middle of their nightly routine, checking fences and cleaning up any trash protesters had left behind out front. The protesters had flocked to the prison daily ever since it opened and it annoyed the guards to no end since they caught the brunt of the protesting. There had even been a political rally a few months back from a rival of Senator Kelly. The guard looked over when he started hearing screams from outside the prison, there was just a man there with a cape on and very distinct helmet. There was no time to react by the time the cars started flying over the fence and into the guard towers.

Magneto used the cars to distract the guards long enough for him to use his powers to pull the outer fence out of the ground and send it towards the Box. The guards were taken by surprise when the metal fence pushed them up against the stone exterior of the prison. Magneto used his mutant power to feel for metal within the structure and smiled, the outer walls were concrete and had metal pipe framed for support. He reached out and pulled the metal out and made himself an entrance that led to a large parking lot. Guards had come flooding out of the main building as Magneto reached out and flung a few vehicles towards them, a few of them were crushed underneath while the others made a hasty retreat back inside.

Magneto thought carefully as he thought back to the blueprints that Mystique acquired from the architect's files. He found the place he was looking for as he used his powers to find a large pipe that was meant for draining any water that built up from rain. The pipe erupted from under the blacktop of the parking lot as water trickled out of both ends of the broken pipe. Magneto used all of his power to force the pipe through the wall and into the main cell block.

Magneto entered and looked up finding dozens of different cells, all designed for the specific mutant in mind. He then used the Earth's magnetic fields to float his way up a few levels of catwalk to the third level where his main targets were located. He landed with a dull thud on the catwalk as he looked over the inmates around him.

Dukes and Dominikos looked at each other and then quietly back at Magneto who approached their cells. "I'm building an army, interested?" he asked without any other explanation or words.

Dukes looked around "Get me outta here and I'm in" he said as Magneto smiled. Dukes waited patiently for Magneto to do something when he looked at Dominikos.

"As far as I'm concerned, you are about to be stuck in here just like us so what's the point?" Dominikos said as he saw guards approaching with their weapons drawn. Magneto turned and tore the piece of catwalk the guards were standing on apart and watched as they fell back to the main floor. Dominikos watched the guards fall before smiling "Works for me" he said as Magneto reached up and tore the supports that held Dominikos cell up off the ground. When the cell fell, Magneto then used the various metal around him to crack the cell enough for Petrakis to use his seismic abilities to break out.

Petrakis looked at Magneto who spoke "I saw in your file they call you Avalanche", Petrakis nodded, "Well Avalanche, free every mutant in the facility starting with Dukes here. We have a lot of work to do and not a lot of time to do it." Avalanche nodded as he used his seismic power to free Dukes and then Cannon who spun his way towards Magneto.

Cannon stopped just short of Magneto and looked the old man over, "We all have to work together to get out of here so why don't you spin around and take care of any guards you can while Dukes and I secure our exit" ordered Magneto getting a scoff from Whirlwind who sped off to do the job.

Fred Dukes stepped behind Magneto who motioned for the large young man to follow him, "We need a name for you Dukes" Magneto stated as he led him downstairs as Avalanche and Whirlwind worked.

"Well, my momma always called me Blob" he stated as he pushed an injured guard left by Whirlwind over a railing as more and more mutants were set free.

Magneto looked back "That will do" he said as they reached the ground level and finding that most of the mutants were about to start heading towards the exit. Magneto then stepped in front of them "Not so fast my brothers and sisters" he said getting them all to stop. "What has happened here cannot be allowed to happen again anywhere…Homosuperior is the dominant species on this planet and Homosapien will do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening. We must unite to prevent this genocide before it begins, join me and together we can take the next step towards the age of the mutant" he announced getting cheers from most of the crowd. Magneto turned looked out of the hole he had made with the pipe noting the police present waiting for his newly raised mutant army and smiled. He was going to save Mutant kind and he now had the army to do it.
