Disc-don't own X-Men, only Rita, Shawn, Marie, Lynx, Jason, Teresa, and Greg.
A/N: One of my reviewers, Christina, commented on the fact that Lynx was strong, but is she too strong? Think of Lynx as a female Juggernaut, you know, the unstoppable mutant and all? All of Lynx's strength has come out where most mutants are still developing their powers, but because of Lynx's ever-growing hatred for Logan, she's able to develop all her powers now, when she's a teen, just like Juggernaut did in his senior year of college when he hated Charles.
P.S. by the way, I think that I may end up doing a Lynx/Piotr thing and Marie/Tyler thing, any comments on that? and sorry if this chapter seems poorly done, I'm so tired right now.
Enough of that logical crap, on with the story! (If that doesn't make sense, don't worry, refer to the above statement, besides I honestly think I need medication right now)

Lynx stood outside the towering metal base of Magneto's at night, looking at the full moon. "It's nice isn't it?" Lynx continued to look at the moon as Magneto walked up next to her, his helmet in his hand, showing off his silver hair. "Tell me my dear, what is it about Logan that you hate so much?"
Lynx cringed, Logan was a sore spot to her, she finally turned to face him. "Tell me Erik, what is it about the Germans you hate so much?" Magneto's smile faded into a scowl, when he was 9 he was in a concentration camp because he was Jewish, and he vowed that mankind would never target another group of people again, then the mutants began to appear. True to his word though, Erik Lensherr has tried to rid the world of the hateful and uncaring humans, making sure that never again would mutants have to hide their powers just to be liked.
"I believe I see why you hate Logan, it's an inner hatred isn't it Lynx? For as long as you can remember you have always hated him, and wished more then ever to be able break those unbreakable bones of his?" Magneto looked down to Lynx, he was right, and it terrified her. Everything Magneto had said was right, no matter how much she tried to love Logan for her mother, it just wouldn't happen. "I sore to myself a long time ago that mankind would pay for what they did to me, and you're the key to making all that happen, the key to helping me achieve my dream. Those homo-sapiens will never have the chance to lock us up again like animals in the zoo."
"Why does that make me so special?" for a second, Lynx had the innocent face of a teenager, then, just as fast as it came, it was replaced by a face that would never again show any emotion, almost like the Wolverine's face.
"Because my dear, where all others have failed, you have succeeded, you beat Xavier's precious little X-Men, and took down the Wolverine. Never before have I seen a mutant quite as special as you, and I doubt I ever will, but to go past being special and into being extraordinary, you need to stop listening to others, and stop holding all that strength of yours inside you. Wouldn't you rather be back on earth instead of being shunned to this asteroid?"
"I'm sure there's more like me, like Juggernaut, he has more strength then I do." Lynx sat on the ground as Magneto surprisingly sat next to her.
"He may have the strength, but Cain Marko does not possess the strong will for fighting that you do. Cain is interested only in destroying things, and killing Charles Xavier. Its sad really, my old friend knows so much, yet he knows so very little about you." Magneto offered friendly smile to Lynx, the girl had begun to grow on him, more then just someone who worked for him, but as a friend.
"Why do you say that?"
"Ignorance takes it's toll on the mind, even the strongest of minds. If Charles really was all he ever claimed to be, then why wouldn't he know you weren't happy with them long before you left? Charles believes that all of his students will come to him and tell him all their fears and feelings, and that's what makes him weak. They say that true friendship comes only when silence is comfortable and there are no more words to say, yet I have never encountered a mutant who believes that sitting with Charles in silence is comfortable." Erik stood up, giving Lynx a hand as she took it and stood up at well. "On a lighter subject, what do you propose we do now?"
Lynx grinned wickedly at the thought that suddenly came to her. "We weaken their team, take out a mutant…for good."
"And who would you consider taking out?" the two walked back through the metal halls until they came upon a parlor in the base, the man may be evil, but he was sure living the high life. The two sat facing each other.
"Teresa, her sudden death will piss of Scott immensely and should send Jean into a deep depression, one that will affect her mental abilities." Lynx leaned back in the chair, the plan was flawless.
"I like the way you think, but is it wise to anger Mr. Summers like that?" Erik was all business now.
"Yes, I do believe it is wise, it gives us the upper hand, besides, if we do the plan perfect enough, Charles will push the team to their limits, and we can strike when they get weak." Lynx grinned again, more to herself then Erik.
"Wonderful thinking, you have proven yourself in so many more ways then anyone else on my team."
"Erik! Where is my daughter?" Victor angrily stomped through the halls, ending up in the parlor and looking at Erik's silver hair, not paying attention to Lynx.
"Don't start playing protective father now daddy, you haven't been around for 15 years. 3 years ago I could have used a protective father, but not anymore, so back off." Lynx rose from the chair she had been sitting in, she wasn't about to have a wanna-be Logan in the base.
Erik silently chuckled to himself, the girl had guts, more then he would ever see in his son. "It's late Victor, settle this another time." Erik walked by Victor, only stopping to whisper something else in his ear. "If you make her run away, I swear I'll let Mystique use you as target practice."
"Come on Lynx, it's late, you need to go to sleep." Victor motioned for Lynx to go to her room, as she stood up and walked towards her room, only taking a detour into Piotr's room when her father stopped watching her.
Lynx walked to Piotr's bed and sat on the edge, watching him sleep. He was a big guy too, 6'8 in height, even when he was 18, and built like a football player. Lynx looked over his body silently as he sat up on his elbows, looking at her. "Can't sleep again?" Lynx was startled to find him awake.
"No, I just got bored, but now that your up, think you'll be able to follow directions and help me take out an old friend later?" Piotr listened to Lynx for a half hour as she explained each step to him, never missing a detail.
"So why are you telling me? shouldn't you wait till morning and tell everyone?" Piotr looked at the clock, it was nearly 4 am now.
"No, I only want you, Mystique, Magneto, and myself to do this job, since it seems that you are the only three who actually know how to follow orders the right way on the first try." That made Piotr smile, it was true, Victor never did like taking orders from someone, especially his own child, and St. John was a screw off, and the other Brotherhood members didn't even know how to beat the X-Men, let alone kill one.
"Is this one of those 'we set out at dawn' things?" Piotr asked with a smile as Lynx shoved him to the other side of the bed and lay next to him, just to talk.
"No, I'm tired and I'm not even getting up that early."
"Good, I wasn't going to either." Piotr laid on his side and put an arm around Lynx's waist, after a few more minutes both were in a deep, and peaceful, sleep.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Lynx woke to sound of her father's growling, a sound so loud and awful it just had to echo off the metal walls and into everyone's ears, no matter where in the base they were. Though it seemed louder then normal, and once she opened her eyes she knew why, he was standing right in the doorway of her room. Wait, this isn't my room, it's…it's Piotr's room. Slowly as Lynx wiped the sleep from her face she began to remember everything that had happened the night before: the perfect plan, telling Piotr, then just talking. Guess we fell asleep talking.
Lynx got out of Piotr's bed and walked over to her father, shoving him out of the way and going to her own room where she got dressed and quickly ran a brush through her
hair, it was time to use her plan.
Lynx ran to the parlor and found Piotr, Erik, and Raven sitting in the room, Erik drinking a morning tea. "Tell us the steps of your master plan my dear." Erik motioned for Lynx to sit next to Piotr as she did.
"Well, if we take out Teresa, then Jean becomes sad and she cant think straight enough to use her powers properly, then Charles pushes them to be perfect and we strike when they weaken. Now, I want to talk to her, get her to meet me somewhere where we can talk, girl to girl kind of thing." Lynx made a nasty face, she might have to actually have a girlie conversation with Teresa. "Then, Erik and Piotr come in, and they bring her back here. Knowing Teresa she'll be fighting the whole time, so you must have your helmet Erik, which you always do so that's good. Next thing, when we get there, Mystique will be shackled to the wall, looking like Jean, almost as if mommy came to save the day. Teresa will end up killing herself from the inside out trying to get into Magneto's mind as 'Jean' tells her daughter that together they can beat him."
The other three were shocked, if this plan was done without mistake, Teresa would die and the Brotherhood would have their chance to win yet another battle.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Teresa almost jumped as Lynx stepped out of the shadows in the alley they both agreed to meet in, Lynx was having major mood swings and needed to talk to another girl, why she didn't pick Marie was beyond Teresa's knowledge.
"Lynx, what's wrong?" Teresa stepped forward as Lynx stepped back, being replaced by two men, one young and strong, the other aging and fairly-well built.
"Nothing Teresa, nothing yet that is." Lynx laughed evilly as the two men got a hold of Teresa and took her back to a larger metallic ball where she was promptly knocked out.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Back at Magneto's base, Victor was shackling Mystique to the wall as she took the form of Jean Grey. Victor finished in just enough time to step out of the room before Teresa was brought in and laid down on one of the larges tables by Magneto.
"Teresa! Oh god Teresa, I never thought I'd see you again." Mystique cried out, trying to get the girl to believe that she was her mother.
"Mom? Mom what's wrong? Why wont my powers work on Magneto?" Teresa's eyes opened, she knew her mother's voice anywhere.
"Because sweetheart, your not strong enough, but if you try as hard you can and I try as hard as I can we can both hit him mentally and destroy him." Mystique called out as Magneto laughed.
"You two can't harm me." he began walking away as he felt Teresa trying to enter his head, with no luck because of his helmet.
"Mom, I'm trying mom, I swear I am." Teresa's face twisted with deep concentration as she began to feel weak, it was almost as if she was trying alone, that her mother wasn't helping.
"Try harder." Mystique yelled.
Teresa screamed out in sheer pain as all her strength came together to fight Magneto for her mother, little did she know that in doing so she was putting stress on her body. Lynx stood back in the shadows and watched as her old friend's eyes rolled back in her head and her head hit hard against the metal table…dead.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
The real Jean's heart ached at the loss of her daughter, even though she couldn't see her, Jean knew that Teresa had died trying to fight for her mother. "Scott!"
"What is it Jean?"
"It's Teresa, she's…she's dead." The words could barely come out of Jean's mouth before Jean broke down and began crying.
"What? How?"
"Magneto got to her." Jean continued to sob, she would never forgive Magneto for the death of her daughter.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Back at Magneto's base, Mystique was taken out of the shackles and the Brotherhood celebrated the first successful part of Lynx's brilliant plan.
"What do you propose we do next Lynx? How do we fight the X-Men once they've become weak?" Erik turned to Lynx as the room silenced, all eyes now on the girl.
"Next? Next we shall obtain your daughter, Wanda Maximoff, from her imprisonment."

A/N: Sorry, this is one of my shorter chapters, but I'm really tired and can't think of anything to put. If any of my reviewers like Wanda, here she is, and Magneto wont be happy.
