A/N: Alright, it took a bit (I was at a family reunion-no internet-AND I don't LIKE most of my aunts…) but here be chappie 3!
Magneto's Base
Victor Creed growled as he paced back and forth. "What the hell is this about, anyway?!" he demanded.
Remy LeBeau, also known as Gambit, shrugged as he idly built a house of cards. "De fils, Pietro, he jes' tell Remy t' show up. Remy don' know any mo'."
Piotr Rasputin ignored them while he bent over a sketchpad, drawing a cartoon-strip for his younger sister, Illyana. In it, she was the super-heroine known as Magik, and he was her sidekick. He smiled, remembering how she has first paraded into his room, wearing a towel-cape, and telling him she was there to save him.
The door opened, revealing Magneto, dressed in full armor. "What is going on?"
"That's what we were hoping you'd tell us, Dad," said Wanda dryly as Pietro zipped in with her in his arms.
Had his upper face not been hidden by his helmet, his Acolyte's would have seen Magneto's eyebrows rise dramatically. "Oh?"
"Yeah, we made a little disco-where's Pyro?" Pietro interrupted himself.
"He's out shopping," said Piotr with a shrug.
"Oh. Okay, then. Anyway, we have a new teacher at school, Dad," Pietro said, glaring at his father while crossing his arms across his chest.
Magneto stared at him. "You called me and my Acolytes here to tell us you have a new teacher? After all this time, Pietro, I expected better of you." He turned on his boot heel, stalking out, but stopping when Wanda called after him.
"Her name is Anya Lehnsherr."
Erik stopped mid-step. Slowly, he turned to face his children, cheeks taunt and pale. "What?" he forced out.
"Her name," Pietro replied, "is Anya Lehnsherr. And…" He hesitated, glancing at Wanda, who barreled ahead.
"And she's a mutant. Who manipulates magnetism. Care to explain?"
Then Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, survivor of the Holocaust, self-proclaimed Master of Magnetism and Savior of Mutanity, surprised them all, including himself.
He passed out.
