Elements and Magnetism

Author's Note/Prologue
~*~*~*~
Okay... I know, I know. Stupid author has to write a whole chapter just of her raves. *everyone rolls eyes* In order to understand the story, though, it needs a little backtracking, and I didn't feel like writing a whole story just to explain this one. First off, disclaimer.
I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS OR PLACES MENTIONED EXCEPT FOR JADE OR ANY OTHER ORIGINAL CHARACTER! There. That should satisfy everyone. So don't sue me. All you'll get is 10 pounds of Ramen Noodles, manga, and enough X-Men stuff to cover the state of Texas a foot deep, and have some left over. This disclaimer goes for every chapter I write for this story 'cuz I don't feel like writing one every time. There. Be happy.
P.S.~ Just to let you know, I have a fetish with Magneto's hair, so if I get off just talking about it, just flame and tell me.
Prologue
January 22, 2002 ~ Newspaper clipping from The New York Times.
Researchers at the New York Institute of Genetics have recently discovered a new biological weapon against the mutant terrorists. When digested, the formula permanently disables mutant powers. While still being tested for side effects, the solution has proved harmless to humans. There is talk of the solution "finding" its way into the US food industry. Until then, the details of the project have been kept private. ~end of article.

"The infamous mutant terrorist, Magneto, and his band of 'Acolytes' have recently attacked the New York Institute of Genetics, presumably to destroy the mutant disabling solution, 'Project X' in the beginning stages. While we are still getting details of this attack, we have footage of an unknown side effect of this solution."
Cut to a slightly fuzzy picture of the inside of a lab. Fire is licking the edges of the screen as various Acolytes destroy lab equipment, and the building in general. In the corner of the screen, a flash of red and purple reveals the location of Magneto. Silver hair showing under his helmet, he was crushing various metallic objects. Suddenly, a scientist goes crashing into a cart, where the last of the solution lay untouched. One beaker goes flying through the air, launched straight at the back of Magneto's head. With a cry of warning from one of his Acolytes, Magneto is able to turn around just in time to get a splash of the solution right on his face. A hush descends upon the scene, except for the crackling of the fire. Before eyes of stunned Acolytes and scientists, Magneto's features begin to change. Growing more youthful, lines disappearing from his face, he soon looked like a man in his early twenties. Fearing the worst, Magneto tries out his powers. With a crash, the cart containing the solution goes though the wall. Smiling, Magneto realizes that he has not only kept his powers, but they have literally doubled in strength. Turing to face the camera, Magneto smiles, then it goes black.
"As you can see, when it touched the skin of a mutant, the exact opposite happens. The powers are doubled, and their appearance grows more youthful. As far as we can tell, though, all of the solution has been destroyed. Back to you, Rick."
The large-breasted woman revealed a set of sparkling teeth as the camera panned off of her. The girl watching the T.V. through a store window slowly walked away, lost deep in thought.
