After the two finished their meal, Mystique guided Ororo to a small airport. There, the two got aboard a helicopter, that would take them to Magneto's lair. The two stayed quiet the whole ride over. As soon as the helicopter landed, Mystique got out, and made a motion for Ororo to follow, "Ororo? Now, Magneto is going to tell you everything you need to know, and he's going to do it a lot better than I did back at the café."
Ororo nodded. "But why does he want me? What do I have to offer?"
"Like I said, you have the ability to control the weather, or you at least will after we train you. We could use some one like you fighting for our cause." Mystique stopped and opened a door.
"And what is your cause?' Ororo asked Mystique, not noticing the man sitting at the metal desk.
"Our cause is your cause Ororo.", Ororo turned to face the man. 'Ororo Munroe! Delighted to finally meet you. I think you and Mystique have already gotten to know one another. This man to my left is Mortimer Toynbee, also called Toad"
Ororo nodded at the green crouching man. He cocked his head to the side and snapped his tongue out, grabbing the door behind Ororo and Mystique and slamming it shut.. Ororo jumped. "I see why"
"And the man to my left is Victor Creed. AKA Sabretooth."
Ororo looked towards the man, her jaw dropping at the sheer size of him. #He's huge # Victor stood completely still, watching Ororo like a hawk. "What's your mutation?"
Victor looked to Magneto, who answered for him, "Sabretooth, has a healing ability. He also has very keen senses, kind of like a dog." Sabretooth's eyes narrowed at that. " He also has amazing strength"
Ororo nodded. "Magneto? Why did you bring me here? And how did you know where to find me?"
Magneto smiled, going around the desk he put his arm around Ororo, leading her out the door, "I found you Ororo, through in old colleague of mine. we thought it would be best if we started to recruit mutants from all over the world. So, together we created a machine called "Cerebro" that allowed my friend to use his power to find Mutants from all over the globe. After we had compiled a list of mutants that could help us, Him and I began to realize we weren't fighting for the same thing any more. We parted ways, and ever since then I have been trying to recruit as many of the mutants we had found. Now, Mystique and Toad have been with me for about a year. Sabretooth, has been here since Xavier was" Magneto had led Ororo across a series of metallic bridges and walkways. They soon arrived at large metal door. "You can stay here for the time being." He opened the door, revealing a medium sized room with only a bed and a desk in it. "if you decide to stay, we will get you some more things, but for now this is all you need. Now, Mystique!"
"Yes?" she stepped closer to him and Ororo.
"see if you can help Ororo get a shower and some better clothes."
Mystique nodded, and pulled Ororo down the hall to her room.
**
"Now, don't you feel better?" Mystique asked Ororo.
Ororo looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a tight, light blue t-shirt, and a pair low rider jeans. Her long hair pulled back into a braid "I don't know, it's kind of tight."
"Well, that's how they wear clothes here. Now me, I don't even wear clothes….do you want to wear what I wear?"
Ororo turned around and looked at the now naked, blue skinned Mystique. "I think I will stick with these."
Mystique smiled, "Well come on, Magneto wants to see what you can do"
**
Mystique led Ororo out into a clearing, there waited Magneto and Toad. Magneto smiled at Ororo's new appearance. "Much better! Now, Ororo I want to see just how powerful you are, do you think you could show us….an example?"
Ororo shrugged, "I'll try, but I haven't really done it before"
"That's alright, just do what you can."
"Okay…I think you should hold onto something though."
Magneto and Mystique complied, grabbing on to the gate that surrounded the clearing. Toad sat perched on the gate, not believing the girl in front of him could do any harm.
Ororo walked into the middle of the clearing. Holding out her arms, she looked up to the sky. Slowly, her eyes began to fog over. Above the group, lightening began to flash, followed by loud claps of thunder. Then the rain began to pour. Slowly at first, but it began to pick up speed. Toad looked to Mystique, "Like a little bit of rain ever hurt someone." Mystique bit her lip, holding back a smile. Just then, a bolt of lightening hit a tree not more than ten feet away from Toad, knocking him across the clearing. After that weather began to recede. And Ororo fell to her knees.
Magneto clapped his hands. "Beautiful!".
Mystique laughed and went over to Ororo, "That was amazing."
Toad picked himself up off of the ground, and groaned, "What are you talking about? She almost killed me." He made his way back to the others.
"I know, it would have been fantastic had she actually gotten rid of you."
Toad glared at Mystique, and headed back inside.
Ororo looked over to Magneto, "I hope he isn't hurt."
"He'll live, Ororo, now I think you should get to sleep. We'll begin your exercises tomorrow, so you'll want to rest up." Magneto went the same way as Toad.
"Come on Ororo, I'm beat."
"Beat?"
"Tired. Come on." Ororo followed Mystique back to her room. "Good night. Ororo." She headed down the hall to her room.
"Good night Mystique."

It was about 2 in the morning when Ororo woke up. Clicking on the light in her room, she looked around, hoping there was a bathroom connected to her room. There wasn't. "I'll just have to wait till morning." She went to lay back in her bed. "I can't wait, I have to" she got up and pulled on the t-shirt mystique had given her but she couldn't find the jeans. "I'm just going to mystique's room." She told herself. Hoping she wouldn't run into any one in the hall, Ororo slipped out of her room. She walked a little bit down the hall and stopped at the first door she saw. #Is this Mystique's room?# she thought. Carefully, she opened the door, finding pitch black. She walked in a little, "Myst-"
Suddenly, Ororo was grabbed by the arm and pulled into the room. The next thing she knew she was being pushed against the wall, someone holding her by her neck. Ororo grabbed the arm that held her, trying to hold herself up. Her attempts did no good, as the hand only tightened around her neck. #I'm going to die# Ororo thought, just as the hand loosened and Ororo fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?", a deep voice growled.
"I…" ", she coughed a couple of times, "was…..look....ing…for a bath…room"
A light flicked on, stinging Ororo's eyes. "There's one through that door." The voice said. Ororo opened her eyes, there standing about five feet away from her, was Sabretooth. He was facing away from her wearing only a pair of loose sweat pants. Ororo didn't move. He turned around and stared at her. It was then Ororo realized she was only wearing Mystique's t-shirt and a pair of panties.
Ororo wrapped her arms around herself. "Where…was the bathroom?", he motioned to the door with his chin. Ororo got up and walked quickly by him, trying to ignore his open staring. As soon as she was inside the bathroom, Ororo looked at her reflection in the small mirror above the sink. #it's really hot.# she thought to herself, noticing beads of sweat making their way down her face.
