I apologize if that last chapter seemed a little too short. I had a little trouble figuring how Magneto should capture the Misfits. Hey you try writing a hundred chapter fic sometime! I've been writing this thing since August and my brain is going into overload! Well only a handful of chapters to go! And here's one of them!

Magneto's New Plan

It took all Pietro's will not to shake in front of Magneto. "What do you want with us…Father?"

Wanda however had no such fears. "Probably planning to finish us off personally!"

"That's not true," Magneto said.

"That's a pretty good guess," Pietro said. "The last time we spoke you tried to kill us!"

"I admit I was under a lot of strain at the time," Magneto sighed. "But I have been…thinking quite a bit. Let's just say there was an incident that happened which forced me to reflect on what I put you through. Especially you Wanda. I should have not simply locked you away in hopes that someone else would help you. I should have made time and attended to you personally."

"Well maybe if you hadn't used us as guinea pigs in your experiments in the first place I wouldn't have been so angry with you?" Wanda growled. "Did you ever think of that?"

"I was merely trying to help you," Magneto said. "To make you both stronger."

"Save it," Pietro said. "All you ever wanted was perfect soldiers for your demented quest for world domination. All we ever were to you were pawns you could use to your advantage. I know that now. I just wish it didn't take me this long to realize it."

"We've all made mistakes Pietro," Magneto said.

"The only mistake we made was by staying with you for so long!" Wanda snapped. "We should have gotten rid of you long ago!"

"I must admit I am severely disappointed in you," Magneto growled. "But it's nothing that can't be fixed once Mastermind is finished with you."

"Are you nuts?" Pietro tried to hide his panic. "That didn't work the first time! What makes you think that it will work again!"

Wanda glared at him, not wanting to give him any satisfaction no matter how frightened she was. "It doesn't matter how many times you mess with our minds," She snarled. "You'll never make up for what you did to us! You'll never be anything more than a monster!"

"Well then I suppose it's up to Mastermind to change that," Magneto said.

"I think I'd better take care of something first," Mastermind told him. "It seems that Cortez and Sabertooth are having a disagreement again. Something about candy or something. I'd better see to them before they destroy the building."

"Very well," Magneto sighed. "I'll keep these two company." Mastermind left.

"What are you going to do to the others?" Pietro asked. "Wipe their minds too? Don't you think you've hurt them enough?"

"Quicksilver I haven't even begun to…" Magneto spoke when he saw Sabertooth and Cortez walk in from the other direction. "What are you doing here? Where's Mastermind?"

"How should we know?" Sabertooth snapped.

"He just went after you!" Magneto snapped.
"What are you talking about?" Cortez asked.

"Mastermind said that you two were fighting!" Magneto snapped.

"We were not!" Sabertooth snapped.

Meanwhile Wanda felt one of her bonds start to loosen. "Keep still," The familiar voice of Xi floated in her ear. "I think I can get you loose."

Wanda said nothing. She couldn't see Xi, but she knew he was right next to her, invisible.

"I just sent Mastermind to stop you fools from bickering about something!" Magneto snapped. "He said…Sabertooth? What are you doing?"

"We got company," Sabertooth sniffed. He started to run towards Wanda.

"Hurry!" Wanda shouted. Xi managed to loosen one of her hands just before Sabertooth swiped at him. Xi could not dodge it in time and fell to the ground, becoming visible again.

"It's that sexless freak!" Sabertooth snapped as he charged at Xi. Xi managed to move out of his way.

"Who are you calling a freak?" Xi snarled.

Sabertooth charged again only to be thrown by a hexbolt. Wanda started freeing her bonds with her free hand only to be knocked unconscious by a hard hit from Cortez. "You lousy…" Pietro strained against his bonds. "Keep you mitts off my sister!"

"Enough!" Magneto snapped as he used his powers on some nearby metal objects to restrain Xi. "It seems Cobra is much more advanced in its genetics than I thought. We'll see what Mastermind can do with it."

"Magneto!" Pyro ran in. "Mastermind's been knocked out! What happened here?"

"Never mind that!" Magneto snarled. "What happened?"

"I was just hanging around and wandering when I found Mastermind hiding in a closet," Pyro told him. "He's been drugged up pretty good. He's been out for who knows how long!"

"That's impossible!" Magneto snapped. "He just…wait a minute! The cannon! Watch them!" He floated towards it in a nearby room. A loud scream of anger could be heard.

"That's not good," Pyro gulped.

"THAT INFURIATING WOMAN!" Magneto came back with a note in his hands. He threw it on the ground. Pyro picked it up and read it.

Magneto-

As much as I'd love for you to use this, I'm afraid I can't. You've ruined my life once too often so now it's time for me to start ruining yours.

Mystique

"When I get my hands on that shape shifting traitor," Magneto growled.

"She's still in the building somewhere," Sabertooth growled. "She couldn't have gotten far! I'll track her down!"

"Do that," Magneto growled as he left. "I am surrounded by incompetents and traitors!"

"You get what you deserve!" Pietro snapped.

"Obviously time with those humans has not improved your manners," Magneto growled. "Cortez, Pyro! Take this…thing to the lab. And make sure it's secured!" They dragged Xi away.

"At least you won't be able to use the cannon!" Pietro snapped.

"I only need the stone to work on the sun," Magneto told him. "It still has potential to do damage without it. Perhaps this is a good time to test its other capabilities?"

"What do you mean?" Pietro felt a cold pit in his stomach.

"I'll simply use it to destroy a few objects," Magneto told them. "Starting with the Pit!"
