(A/N and disclaimer) I would like to thank rhiannon for the groovy idea of using Magnus. I totally forgot about him. Thanks!! And here you go, the standard disclaimer: I do not own Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, Pietro, or anyone else. If I did I would be in a stretch Rolls Royce Limo with my servant, Fritz, driving. And InterNutter, coming up soon: a very special episode of "As the Blue Ball of Fuzz Ports." So, calm down!! (End A/N and disclaimer)

Erik Magnus Lehnsherr-whereabouts Unknown

"To whom this may concern:

It is not everyday that I answer letters. I don't believe in them. However, I felt compelled, yes, compelled to answer yours. Please, do not ask me why. Let me start, at the beginning.

I was born in eastern Poland; the exact area is not important-to a loving family consisting of my mother, father, and older sister. My parents were considered the upper-class members of the village. But to the Nazis, Jews are the lowest creatures, born only for extermination. Like rats. In fact, that's how they portrayed us in their propaganda. But, you must know that, because I have read your credentials. Thank you for giving me them along with the letter.

My family and I were forced to participate in the digging of a mass grave. The Nazi's are meticulous, clean. I survived the barrage of bullets that they fired at us, my mutant powers deflecting them. I fell forward, playing dead. I had to claw my way from the death pit. I stepped on my own mother on the way out. I was recaptured and forced to go on the train. The train that lead to Auschwitz.

There I lost my name of Erik Magnus Lehnsherr and was reborn as Auschwitz Prisoner #214782. I became a Sondercommando-I assume that you know what that means-and survived anyway that I could. You could only imagine what I did. There I saved a woman's life, and we married soon after we escaped. After an…incident, yes, let us leave it at that, she left.

I don't want to bore you with the rest of my life. Instead, I'll discuss my son Pietro. I hired someone to create an antithesis to Charles Xavier's X-Men. The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, a very fitting title indeed. And my son just happened to be on that team. Pietro, with the mutant ability of running at incredible speeds. He is also unusually energetic, annoying his teammates to no end with his endless talking.

Ah, I just read an interesting part of you letter. No, I don't want my son and other young mutants to go through what many others and I have gone through. I have seen the evils of humanity at such a young age. Humans are a remarkable species, so easy to judge those that are different. So easy to persecute innocent minorities, those they dub useless and inferior. That's why I am going to nip it all in the bud.

Mutants are superior to humans. Our genetic structure proves that. Yes, Charles Darwin said it best. "As many more individuals of each species are born than can possibly survive, and as consequently there is a frequently recurring struggle for existence, it follows that any being, if it vary in any manner profitable to itself, under the complex and sometimes varying conditions of life, will have a better chance of survival and thus be naturally selected. From the strong principle of inheritance, any selected variety will tend to propagate its new and modified form." A genius. If you haven't read The Origin of Species I recommend it highly.

Yes, mutants are the highest evolutionary form this planet has seen. We shall rule. And my son and daughter shall stand beside me. I think I shall spare you. You are a human that I believe I can tolerate. Yes. I believe the two of us should meet face to face. And thank you for the well wishes. I wish you well also.



Erik Magnus Lehnsherr"

(A/N) I had to change some things around to fit it into the Evolution timeline. If not, Pietro would be the oldest Bayville High student. Other than that, I guess that this came out all right! Did I capture the spirit of Magneto? I tried my best. (end A/N)
