I don't own anyone...blah, blah. Only the plot is mine. The rest belongs to
Marvel.
Lorna Dane's eyes fluttered open, and she found a pair of blue eyes looking her over. The girl quickly tried to move her arms, and found that she was bound to something. She glanced down, her head the only free body part, and saw thick, clear plastic bonds holding her to a revolving plastic table.
"Yeah, we know your power," the blue-eyed mutant said. Lorna looked up at him, taking in his features. He was wearing snug, faded jeans, and a gray sweater. His platinum blonde hair was slicked back, two strands sticking out the back. He was smiling at her, his foot tapping dramatically.
"Oh, great," Lorna responded meekly, finally gaining the courage to speak. She looked around the room, which was also made completely out of plastic. "What's with all the plastic?"
"You can move metal," the teen said, rolling his eyes. "You think we'd risk you breaking your bonds and escaping? We aren't going to hurt you, anyway."
"Oh, but you kidnap me, and tie me to a table in a room where everything's plastic," she said in a slur, talking as fast as she could. "That's just peachy!"
"You think you can talk fast?" he smirked, and began to walk around the table. He grabbed a plastic remote control from a clear table, and pressed a button. Lorna's table rose up, and she was now standing inches off the ground, still stuck to the surface.
"I'm faster than fast," he was saying, sneering now. He disappeared in a whirl of wind, and a gray and blue haze zoomed around her, concealing her in a harmless tornado. Lorna looked around hurriedly, in surprise. She closed her eyes tightly for about a minute, before opening them. She saw Pietro fastening the belt around his jeans. She smiled slightly at her ability.
"Yeah, real peachy," he muttered. Lorna rolled her eyes as the plastic door to her left slid into the wall, and four adults entered. The subdued girl quickly recognized the tallest, a man with long, dirty blonde hair in a trench coat. He had kidnapped her at first. Then the other two women had helped. One was covered in blue scales, wearing dark leather, and the other was dressed like any normal adult, hiding her eyes behind black shades. The old man leading them was new to her.
His hair was the same color as the speed demon, and he had most of his body wrapped in a brown trench coat, made for business. Only the end of his creased brown pants were shown. He smiled at her gravely, and began speaking.
"Lorna Dane. Welcome to the Brotherhood," he said, his voice light and excited. He seemed anxious to tell all he wanted to tell her. "You and I have much in common, you know?"
Lorna rolled her eyes once again. She concentrated, instead, on a gleaming, silver Rolex that peeked out from under the man's coat. It slipped off slowly, and floated, suspended in the air. She smiled, releasing her magnetic hold on the valuable watch.
To her surprise, it stopped just as it reached the ground. Lorna glanced at the old man wearily, and saw him focusing on it intently. Gaping at him, she shrieked, "You too?!"
"Call me Magneto," he said, extending his hand to hers. He glanced at her bound hand, and nervously stuck his own into his pocket. "Of course, you can't shake." He paused, looking around at his teammates, and then turned back to her. "Would you like to know what else is in common with us?" Lorna shrugged, trying to show that she didn't care, and didn't want to be here. But, she staring at him, hoping her eyes would press him further.
"You're my daughter." The speed demon hopped up next to Magneto, and Lorna gaped at him.
"Dad!" he exclaimed. "That's not Wanda!"
"Pietro, I'll explain later," Magneto said softly, looking down at his son. He turned back to Lorna. "You wouldn't want to upset your father, would you?" Lorna shook her head, confused.
"But you can't be my father," she said slowly, and Pietro nodded in agreement. "I mean, I have a legal mom and dad. I came out of her uterus personally, okay?"
"They lied." Lorna glared at him, and Magneto continued. "They aren't allowed to tell children that. It's bad for their childhood."
"Lame," the young girl said. "You are not my father."
"So, it's a coincidence that we share powers, and that I know everything about you?" Magneto grinned, and began to walk around her chair, slowly. "I've been keeping up with you all your sixteen years of life. I know your foster family. Your town. Your school. I know you."
Lorna just stared at him, confused, shocked, surprised. She didn't know what exactly to think of it all. Finally, she could only think of one word. "Daddy?"

Logan walked down a hallway on the second floor of the Xavier Institute, leading the new mutants to a phone. He hadn't agreed with recruiting mutants they know nothing about, but Xavier was going to check out their profiles on Cerebro. They had both used their powers in the last few hours. He opened the door to his room reluctantly. He didn't allow anyone inside beside himself. He pointed to the phone sitting on a mahogany desk.
The teen boy eagerly ran to it, but then handed it to the girl politely. Logan had already dubbed the petite girl a nickname, Halfpint.
After dialing the number, the teen said softly, "Hello? Yeah, can you connect me to room 215? Thanks." After a few seconds, she asked urgently, "Mommy? Yeah, I know I've been gone for two hours…you see, I was sort of kidnapped – "
"You weren't kidnapped," Logan interjected incredulously. "We took you in because you're a mutant. Give me that phone…"
Kitty glanced at him as he reached for the phone, and her body shook slightly as she swayed, telling her mother what had happened in the past few hours. Logan grabbed at the phone, and watched his hand swing through the air. He glanced at the boy with ice abilities questionability.
Bobby shrugged. "She…phased me through a car door. Maybe she can – "
"Cancel out the atoms around her," broke in a voice, and Xavier wheeled into the room, Ororo and Emma trailing him. The three occupants of the room looked at him, and Kitty continued to talk.
"Cancel out what, Chuck?" Logan asked, using the new name only he called Xavier.
"The atoms around her, Logan," Xavier spoke, looking at him intently. "She can become intangible, so you can't touch her. She can phase through walls, floors, practically anything. And," Xavier gestured to Bobby, who was hovering beside Kitty to use the phone, "She can bring people along with her. Bobby can generate ice. That's quite simple."
"Cerebro was really helpful," Emma added, taking a seat in Logan's armchair. "That boy is your typical iceman." Logan grinned slightly, and then remembered why he was reaching for the girl.
"Chuck, she said were kidnapping her." Xavier smiled broadly, and Logan's mouth formed a thin line. Gruffly, and not amused, he asked, "That's supposed to be funny?"
"She's only fifteen," Xavier explained as Kitty handed Bobby the phone, and he began to call his parents. "You weren't to forthcoming when I took you in. You and Ororo were my first students."
Logan rolled his eyes defiantly. "I only joined you because you told me that you know where I came from. You know what happened to me. And you still haven't told me."
"Because he doesn't know," Emma said slyly. "But, you real business. He can't get a reading on Lorna. She's a ghost."
"Lorna's dead?" exclaimed Bobby, clamping a hand over the receiver. Emma smiled again, and shook her head.
"It means Cerebro can't find her. If she's with Magneto, that's why. He has this helmet that can block out Cerebro, so anyone around him is a ghost."
"But, how can he do that?" asked Kitty, looking around at the adult mutants. "This Cerebro thing can find any mutant, right?"
"Yes, but Magneto knows how to block it," Xavier said.
"And how would he know that?" Kitty continued. Emma, Logan, and Ororo all glanced at Xavier. Kitty looked at them all, and then stared at the professor for an answer.
"Well," Xavier said uneasily, shifting in his permanent chair. "Magneto used to be my best friend. He built this place with me, along with Emma and Ororo, when they were only your age. He did all the metal work, and Emma used her telekinetic abilities to pick up the cemented bricks, and so on. He also helped be built Cerebro."
"The man who hates all humans used to be your best friend, and knows this place inside out?" Kitty repeated, bewildered. "And you haven't thought to do anything to change that? He can block Cerebro because he knows how, right?" Everyone else nodded. Kitty rolled her eyes.
Xavier nodded to her, smiling, and then watched Bobby hang up the phone. "Are you staying with us?"
"No," responded Kitty and Bobby simultaneously. They glanced at each other. Xavier's smile faltered.
"You don't have control over your powers well enough to be in public," Xavier stated, staring up at the teens. "You parents would understand if I talked to them. But, in the meantime, there are yet two more mutants wandering around, in your hometown, Bobby. You can see your parents again, since we are heading right back to Long Island."
Everyone got up, and Emma, Logan, and Ororo all walked to a wall, tapping a painting next to it. The wall opened to reveal an elevator, in which they disappeared into. Kitty and Bobby both stared at the wall, now back to white paint. Xavier glanced at them both. "You either of you want to suit up, just to test out the…quirks of being an X-Man?"
"An X-Man?" Bobby repeated, looking at Kitty to see what she thought. Kitty shrugged.
"I'll need both of you to recruit these new mutants," Xavier said, looking at them hopefully. "Bobby, do you know Jonathan Storm, or Alison Blaire?"
"Johnny's a mutant?" Bobby asked slowly, looking down at the professor. "We've been friends for at least five years. And Alison…she's this good singer who always wins in the talent shows. There's an end-of-the-school year dance tonight. I was going to go…"
"You can, you can," Xavier said quickly. "It sounds as if these two will be there. Are both of you willing to go and try to recruit them?" Bobby nodded eagerly, and Kitty just shrugged, looking glad to be going home.
"Good, good, let's get going." Xavier smiled at them both, and wheeled down the hallway to the elevator, his newest recruits behind him.
It all stops here ^_^ No…I'm currently the introductions for our next two X- Teens. There will be a total of six, as well as a total of six Brotherhood teens. Four mentors for both the X-Men and the Brotherhood. And then an entirely new group of mutants comes along. All this and more…soon ^_^
