Chapter Twenty-Four
Alkali Lake Base
They were all on the Blackbird. Mystique and Magneto were sitting and talking. Rogue and Bobby stood nearby looking at the X-Men uniforms.
"When do we get uniforms," Rogue asked.
"They're on order," said Logan. "They should arrive in a few years."
"Rogue," said Magneto. "We love what you've done with your hair." Rogue pulled off her glove and took a step forward, but Bobby held her back.
"Don't let him get to you," said Fallon.
"Yea," continued Katherine. "Don't let him have the satisfaction."
"They say you're the bad guy," said John flicking his lighter.
"Do they," Magneto asked.
"Pretty dorky looking helmet," John said.
"This 'dorky looking helmet'," said Magneto. "Is the only thing keeping out the real bad guys."
John's lighter floated into Magneto's hand
"What's your name," he asked.
"John," the boy replied.
"What's your real name," asked Magneto flicking the lighter open.
"Pyro," he answered cradling the flame in his palm.
"That's quite a talent you have there Pyro," said Magneto.
"I can only manipulate the flame,' said John. 'I can't create it."
"You are a god among insights," said Magneto handing John his lighter. "Don't let anyone tell you different."

Jean, Storm, Wolverine, Magneto, and Mystique stood around a 3D hologram of the Alkali Lake Base.
"If we try to enter the through the spillway," explained Jean. "They could flood it."
"I'll go," said Logan. "I have a feeling he'll want me alive."
"Whoever gets in," said Magneto. "Needs to be able to access the spillway controls. If you got in what do you intend to do, scratch it with your claws?"
"I'll take my chances," said Logan.
"But I won't," replied Magneto.
