Aftermaths - Epilogue - The Spider's Parlor By PhantomChajo

The place is unknown. A secret room, kept even from his underlings. It is dark save for the bluish light from the many monitors set up here and there. The lone occupant sits in the center, like a spider in it's web. Bathed in the soft illumination.

The man once known as Nathaniel Essex, now known as Mr. Sinister watches as events unfold. He knew from the beginning that his creation was flawed. But instead of destroying it, he let it live.

Let it live, grow and learn. He even created others to join it. Though those creations were much less flawed then the first. It is possible that he had hoped those flaws would vanish over time, but alas, they did not. He knew that he would have to repair those flaws soon or else they would destroy his creation.

Contrary to what his creation thought, he knew where that one was and what it was doing at all times. He was there when his creation had a run in with the Friends of Humanity. A group of humans that the world would be better off without. To him, they were polluting the gene pool with their inbreed bigotry and hatred.

He had taken his creation back to one of his many labs and repaired the damage done, all in a single night. But instead of keeping his creation, he had returned it to the place that it called home. Right under the nose of his other creations. Even now he watched without none the wiser. He was even aware of the meddling of the X-Men known as Beast was doing. Not that it would matter in the long run.

Standing up, he clasp his hands behind his back and slowly walked away. Each of the monitors going black as he passed them.

"One day young Johnnathan Essex you will return to me." His baritone voice echoed through the room. "And when you do, you will be mine once again."
