Okay no more nuttiness. Time for the plot to continue!

The Plan Starts to Come Together

"I don't know how much more of this I can take," Guyrich hissed. "Going to school every day with those…animals running loose."

"Calm yourself," Ms. Baron told him. "I just got another operative in position today. Very soon the mutants will be gone. But we are going to need those Sentinel Plans if we can start mass-producing them. Even we can't get rid of every mutant in Bayville with our operation. But at least we'll be able to capture and study the worst of them. Once the Sentinels are in production, then we can eliminate every mutant and make this school safe again."

"You're right," He nodded. "Trask is coming tomorrow."

"That soon?" She raised her eyebrows.

"There was some trouble at our base in Mexico," He told her. "Somehow SHIELD found out where it was. But he got away with the plans."

"Tell him not to worry," Ms. Baron smiled. "We have several hiding spots. We'll keep him safe. I guarantee it."

Later on that day Ms. Baron had the Brotherhood in class again. By this time she had given up on teaching them anything so she let them have a study hall. John and Pietro were having a mock war with pencils. Fred was having a snack. Wanda was drawing on her desk. Everyone else was talking and goofing off.

Everyone that is, except for Lance. He was too much in pain from his latest headache to do anything.

Lance winced as the headache increased. He had never had a headache like this before. He moaned in agony. "Is there something wrong Mr. Alvers?" Ms. Baron asked.

"My head…" Lance gasped. "I…I need to see the nurse."

"Mr. Alvers I…" Ms. Baron started to say something. Suddenly the school shook violently, then stopped almost as instantly as it came. "I think that may be a good idea."

Lance grabbed the pass and started to make his way down the hall. A blinding stab of pain blurred his vision and sent him to his knees. The school shook violently again. Lance tried to get up but couldn't.

"Lance what are you doing?" Risty found him in the hallway.

"Hurts…" Lance gasped. "Pain…my head….can't move…"

"Come on we're taking you to the nurse," She helped him up. Lance held on to her tightly for support. The next thing he knew he was flat on his back looking up at the ceiling. He looked around dazed.

"Finally up I see."

Lance looked to the side and saw a strange bald man with a huge black moustache in a white uniform. "Ah very good," The man smiled. He spoke in a funny European accent. He even wore a monocle on one eye. "You had a severe migraine young man, but you should be feeling better now."

"Who are you?" Lance asked.

"I'm Mr. Bender the new school nurse," He smiled. "The old one had to leave for…health reasons."

"You're the nurse?" Lance looked at the man.

"What's wrong with a man being a nurse?" The strange man huffed.

"Nothing I guess," Lance blinked. "Well at least you're not drunk."

"How do you feel?"

"Better," Lance shrugged. "Headache's gone."

"Well then why don't you head to your next class?" The man smiled and wrote him a pass. When Lance left he waited a moment before making a call. Shortly Ms. Baron walked in.

"What is it Dr. Mindbender?" Ms. Baron asked. "This better be good. I hate wasting my free periods."

"I did a little blood test on Mr. Alvers," Cobra's leading genetic scientist told her. "It seems our friend Magneto has been doing a little experimentation of his own."

"Like what?" She raised an eyebrow. "Genetic enhancement?"

"Bingo," He nodded. "However in this case…Something tells me that Magneto may have bitten off more than he could chew if this test is correct. Take a look." He showed her the results.

Her eyes widened as she read. "Is that man insane?" She hissed. "Not even Cobra would use that drug! It's way too unstable!"

"I agree," Mindbender nodded. "We'd better make our move soon. If not there may not be a Bayville High much longer!"

"I think it's time we started Phase Two," Baroness smiled. "By the end of the week we'll have the Sentinel Plans and many mutants."
