Chapter Eight: Only Member Left
After Ada had figured out the source of her power, she finally asked Pietro about the whereabouts of Magneto. He had told her that each of the X-men were to be caught and sent to the basement of the castle where the labs for the experiments were. They would be placed into these tiny rooms after they had placed a bracelet on them stopping their power. Other than that he knew nothing more. Ada had been pondering the situation for about twenty minutes or pacing back and forth; annoying Pietro to no end. At last a light bulb turned on in her head. She had a plan.
Pietro watched as Ada opened the door of the old castle room. Before exiting she smiled at him and said "Shall we?"
He looked at her in confusion. ^^What is she doing?^^ "What?"
Ada's smile grew sly and she explained. "Take me to Magneto."
"Why?" Pietro questioned; he didn't like what he was hearing.
"I'm switching sides." She said matter of factly.
His eyes opened wide "What? You're an X-men."
"I know, but in order to save them I have to become something else." She stated a hint of sadness in her voice. What she was about to do would hurt her. She had always prided herself in her knowledge of the right thing, and doing it. But now she doubted herself. This was the only idea she could think of. And she firmly believed that this wasn't the right way. It was going to hurt, she knew that. Somehow she had to prove her loyalty to Magneto, and doing that would hurt someone she cared about. But she reminded herself that in the end it would be worth it.
He was slowly gaining understanding; she was going to switch sides so she could help her friends out of their current situation. He knew that she was the only one who could save them now. After all she was the only team member left.

Magneto and his men began to hover in the air. Everyone's eyes widened in surprise and bafflement, even those who were captive. Quickly the leader of the Brotherhood and Acolytes used his powers to plant his feet back onto the floor. His recruits on the other hand were having difficulty.
"What's dis?" Gambit asked as he floated in mid air.
Sabertooth's eyes quickly darted to Jean Gray, the known telepath of the X- men team. "It's her doing!" He accused. "Her bracelet is faulty."
Jean's eyes gave away fear, when Sabertooth blamed her. She began to tremble slightly in fear of the big mutant. He was rather scary and most of the team was afraid of the mutant; all except Wolverine.
"No." Magneto shook his head. "Some one else."
"You're a smart one." A feminine voice said. All eyes turned to see Sprite enter the room with Quicksilver beside her. She flew through the air straight to Magneto.
The master of magnesium gave a smirk, and looked the young teenager up and down. "Put down my men." He told her firmly. He saw that his men were surprised to see who was behind their flight off the floor. He was startled to see Wanda wasn't using her power to stop Sprite's. He concluded that either Wanda was in a state of shock, which he highly doubted, or that she was friends with the girl and didn't want to interfere.
Sprite gave small smile, and with the flick of her wrist, his men returned to the ground with a thud, well most of them. Sprite had made sure that the Scarlet Witch's fall was safe and easy, so she didn't hurt herself. This did not go unnoticed by Magneto though.
"Put her in the cell." He said and turned his back.
"Ah, I think their unable to do so, seeing as their grounded and all." Sprite said sarcastically. She had grounded each of his members' feet to the floor making them unable to move toward her.
Magneto turned and glared at her. "Fine then I'll do it." He called forth the bracelet that would disable a mutant's power; they were what he had put on the other X-men.
Ada watched the bracelet come her way. She just smiled at the older mutant. "Hear me out first." And with that she heaved the bracelet into the metal wall.
He was taken aback by her power. Maybe there was more to her. He reminded that there wasn't much information on her power, which was surprising because Charles always knew everything about his mutants. "Fine." He said with a hint of intrigue in his voice.
Ada cleared her throat. "Well, I hate to be on the losing side if you know what I mean." She stated, her eyes never leaving Magneto. Her body language and the tone of her voice sounded as though what she was saying was true but in her heart it was false.
"What are you trying to say?" Magneto questioned. "You want to switch sides?"
Sprite clapped her hands in mock approval "Give the man a cookie." She smiled. "So now what do you think?" Her eyes never met those of the captives. She knew if she looked at them she would lose her concentration and her act.
The leader of the Acolytes and Brotherhood burrowed his brow in contemplation. ^^She seems sincere, but it could be a trick for her to save her team members.^^ A wicked smile crossed his face as he thought ^^Well I could test her.^^ And with that thought he said "Alright, I agree on one condition."
"And that is?" Sprite asked, she knew what was coming. She would have to prove herself to Magneto if she was to gain his trust. She didn't like the idea but there was no way around it.
Magneto didn't reply; he just motioned to his men to follow him. They went to the cell that held the founder of the team; Charles Xavier.
Ada felt cold sweat run down her face as the realization hit her. She was going to have to do something to her mentor. She looked at his face, and his eyes showed with understanding. ^^Does he know what I'm up too?^^ She thought. But the idea faded as she remembered that the bracelet on his arm kept his powers at bay.
She walked up to the old man, and gazed into his eyes. She tried with all her might to convey to him with her glare that she was sorry, and in his eyes she saw the forgiveness she hoped for but would not let herself accept.
Her gaze then turned to Magneto and without any words spoken she knew what she had to do. In a swift motion she hit his head with the outside part of her hand, causing him to fall unconscious. His body went limp in his wheelchair. She gasps and curses sent her way from her fellow X-Men. It hurt, but she knew what she had to do and she would do it. Her goal was simple. Her goal was to save.
