Disc- don't own X-Men, ok?
Logan sat in the kitchen, reading the paper with his coffee mug on the table as Charles wheeled into the room. "Good morning Logan." Logan looked up from the paper and nodded his greeting to Charles.
"Hello Chuck." Charles wheeled to the table as Rita walked into the room, getting a mug of coffee and stirring some sugar and crème into it, setting the spoon on the saucer as she sat at the table between the two.
"Hello Charles, Logan." Logan once again nodded his greeting, then went back to reading the paper.
Rita looked at her cup and spoon as they both started shaking. "Charles, I think Magneto brought a friend."
Charles looked up and focused on the cup, who had those kinds of powers? Then it finally dawned on him. "Scarlet Witch. Magneto's daughter seems to finally be free, but I don't understand why she would be with Magneto, peacefully." Charles wheeled out to the front door and opened it as Logan dropped the paper and he got up, following Charles and being followed by Rita.
"Hello old friend, I assume that you remember Scarlet Witch, no?" Magneto floated towards the three, landing softly on the ground as Scarlet Witch walked up behind him.
"Where's Lynx?" Rita pushed past Logan and Charles and faced Magneto.
"Lethal? She's currently on top of things around here." Rita became confused, what was Erik trying to tell her?

Lynx, Mystique and Pyro stood on the roof where they could see Magneto and Scarlet Witch, as well as Piotr who was hidden in the woods. "Come on, we have to get inside." Lynx walked to the other side of the roof where her old room used to be, silently the three dropped to the balcony and entered the room, it was left in the same state that Lynx had left it in.
"Come on, lets go get Rogue, Kitty, and Kurt." Lynx closed the balcony doors and turned back to Mystique and Pyro.
"Why those three?" Mystique was curious, no mention of them were in the plans.
"Because, Rogue can take our powers, Kitty can phase people to safety, and Kurt can teleport people to safety." Lynx told Mystique as she picked up a picture of her and Tyler from a year before she joined up with Magneto and gave it to Mystique. "I want you to look like Tyler, and everything has to be perfect, otherwise Rogue will know.
Mystique nodded as she quickly shrunk a little and took on the exterior form of Tyler LeBeau. "Ok, now what?" the voice had come out perfect.
"Call for mommy, Kitty and Kurt." Lynx smiled as she shoved Pyro and herself in the closet, if Rogue saw the two, she would know that it's her mother calling her, not her son.
"Mother! Kitty! Kurt! Come quickly, Lynx is back." Mystique smiled as the three ran into the room and to the window.
"Tyler, what made you come into Lynx's room?" Rogue walked to her son when she was convinced that Lynx had disappeared from sight.
"I miss her mom, I really do." Mystique looked down as she picked up the picture of Lynx and Tyler, Mystique had dropped it before the now the glass was broken. Silently Mystique sat on Lynx's old bed and looked down into 'his' lap.
Rogue looked oddly at her son, he was acting too emotional today, and telling her way too much about his life. "Tyler, is something wrong, because you know that you can tell me."
"Yeah mom, everything is just fine." Rogue put a hand on Tyler's shoulder as his eyes quickly flashed yellow then back to green.
"Mystique!" Rogue jumped back and shoved Mystique away from her.
"Damn that woman." Lynx cursed under her breath, Mystique screwed up their whole plan.
"Hello daughter." Mystique took on her blue form as Kurt grabbed Kitty's hand and teleported her out of the room, he knew why they were called up to Lynx's room.
"I'm not your daughter Mystique, maybe I was your daughter when I was 4, but not anymore, I'm not 4 years old anymore, I'm 34, understand?" Rogue said as she closed her eyes, a quick white light going over her pale skin, her powers were ready to use.
"Marie, you are my daughter, whether you think so or not." Mystique tried to move closer to her daughter as Rogue reached out and grabbed Mystique's bare arm, taking her powers.

Magneto smiled once again to his old friend as Scarlet Witch raised a hand to Charles, engulfing him in a blue light, almost like a shield, which kept him from using his powers. "Wanda, is this really necessary? What is it you want?"
"I want you dead Xavier, you never cared about me. Face it, all those visits to me were for nothing weren't they? You just wanted to see me suffering, that's why you haven't visited me in the last 13 years isn't it?" Scarlet Witch's eyes flashed with pure anger as Logan tried charging at the girl, but had no luck, his feet were covered in the same blue light and they wouldn't move.
"Wanda, you must understand, you were dangerous when I used to visit you, you let your feelings about what your father did get in the way, I couldn't help you anymore." Charles calmly said, trying to get Wanda to let him use his powers again.
"Liar! Your just lying Xavier, but I may have been dangerous back then, now I'm hazardous to your health and everyone else who lives here."
"Wanda, where is Lynx? What has happened to her?" Rita stepped forward, only to be stopped like Logan, talking very softly.
"Didn't we already go over this? Lethal is currently on top of things." Scarlet Witch looked over the three and grinned to herself. Stupid fools, they think they can beat me? what idiots.

Rogue watched as Mystique feel to the ground with a loud thud, then looked around for Lynx. "Lynx, where are ya? Ah know yer here." Rogue turned into Sabretooth and sniffed the air, walking towards the closet and throwing the door off, looking at Lynx and Pyro. "Why do ya mahke things so hard on yerself?" Sabretooth turned back into Rogue.
"Why not? It's not like anyone here ever cared about me." Rogue stepped back in shock from Lynx's words.
"Waht do ya mean Lynx? Tyler cared about ya so much." Lynx looked down for a second, then back up to Rogue.
"No, no one ever cared about me, you just saw me as a powerful friend to kill my own father." Lynx kicked Rogue in the stomach, watching her fly back into the wall. "Come on Pyro, lets go." Lynx walked towards the window, stopping to pick up Mystique's unconscious body and putting it over her shoulder before kicking the balcony doors open and jumping with Mystique onto the roof, followed by Pyro.
"What do we do now Sheila? Mystique ruined the whole plan." Pyro stood next to Lynx as she looked to the woods, finding Colossus looking up to her.
"I know she did." Lynx growled, Mystique wouldn't have a fun time when she woke up. "Come on, lets go collect Scarlet Witch and Magneto." Lynx walked to the edge of the roof and jumped off, landing right behind Magneto, Pyro landing to the side of Scarlet Witch, the hold was gone on Charles, Rita, and Logan, and now Ororo, Jean, and Scott were there.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
"Charles old friend, you must understand, this isn't personnel, but you must die, we cant let you keep your powers during this time." Magneto looked at his friend and gave him a smile behind his helmet, hidden by the shadows.
A long metal pole floated over to Charles, wrapping tightly around his neck, choking him. "Erik, what are you doing?" Charles choked out as the pole became tighter.
"The very thing that you will not, taking out the enemy, like I said before, it's nothing personnel." Magneto told Charles as Charles continued gasping for breath.
"It just became personnel." Scott shot an optic beam at Magneto's back; Scott and Jean had just come back from taking Jason to a carnival.
Magneto lost his hold on the pole as he turned around and looked at Scott as Jean ran to Charles and tried taking the pole off Charles's neck. "I don't think so missy." Scarlet Witch sent one of her hex bolts towards Jean as Ororo came flying over the woods, sending at least 10 bolts of lightning, each hitting Scarlet Witch.
Scarlet Witch fell down, losing her hold on Logan, Rita, and Charles. Jean put her hand to her temple as the pole began to loosen and finally fall to the ground. "Erik, you have made a terrible mistake." Charles sent a strong psychic blast to Wanda's head, forcing her to stay on her knees.
"Colossus!" Lynx called as Colossus came running from the woods, his body covered in his armor. "Get Scarlet Witch now, Magneto, Pyro, lets go, we've lost our upper hand." Colossus picked Scarlet Witch up and slung her over his shoulder as Lynx walked towards the woods, still holding Mystique, as Magneto walked besides Lynx and Pyro trailed behind.

Back at Magneto's base, Lynx sat in a chair, watching Mystique stir slightly, she was waking up. "Magneto, she's waking up."
Magneto came quickly to see Mystique slowly sit up. "What the hell were you thinking back there? Letting Rogue take your powers? Did you honestly think that playing the mother card would really work?" Lynx glared hard at Mystique. "If it weren't for your stupidity we could have won that battle instead of running away."
Sabretooth walked into the base just as Lynx finished yelling at Mystique. "You ran away?" Sabretooth looked at his daughter. "I thought you said this was the perfect plan."
"Well it was, and maybe if you were actually there to help it would have worked, and it also could have worked if Raven here wasn't trying to bond with her daughter, it could have worked as well. Then there was you Magneto, did you have to stand there and have a little chat with Charles? What kind of idiot talks to their enemy then says they are going to kill them? Same with you Scarlet Witch, you should have just done the job and left the rest to us. I swear, were Pyro, Colossus, and me the only people actually doing the job we were supposed to?" Lynx stood up and left everyone in the room, going to her room.
Piotr looked to St. John as the two stood up and followed Lynx. "You ok Sheila?" Lynx sat on her bed and looked up at the two guys.
"No, the one chance I had to get rid of the X-Men and they had to fuck it up." Piotr walked to Lynx and sat next to her, putting an arm around her and pulling her closer to him.
"Don't worry Lynx, you'll get another chance, but for now, just yell at Magneto, I like it when he can't say anything back. But maybe you should let Wanda go and kill her family, we don't need her anymore, Xavier is smart and will find a way to keep Wanda from neutralizing his powers again." Piotr's strong Russian accent echoed off the metal walls.
"True, St. John, please go tell Wanda that she can kill her brother, he's in Westchester in Mystique's house ok?" St. John nodded and left the room.
"Pietro was back in Westchester?" Wanda's voice rang throughout the base as St. John ran back into Lynx's room and closed the door behind him, leaning on it.
"She's gonna kill me." St. John looked at Piotr and Lynx who were laughing by now.
"Just leave her out there, maybe she'll kill Erik, Raven, and Victor for all of us." Lynx said.
"We can only hope." Piotr commented, then the next thing the three knew, Wanda had slammed a door of the base and was taking one of Magneto's orbs back to Westchester.
