Chapter 1:
________________________________________________________________________
I'm at a familiar lake, a watery grave.
When will these nightmares end?
I look deep into the water, as if the answer will appear there.
Then I notice something, a blurry shape gliding through the water.
It has a strange orange glow.
It becomes bigger as it approaches the surface.
As it does this, I become a little scared of what it may be, but also a little curious.
Any moment now it will reveal itself, any moment…
There's a great splash as it breaks the water's surface.
A woman, engulfed in flames, hovers above the water.
Her face is familiar. I call to her… Her name rolls off my tongue.
"Jean! JEAN!!"
"Jean!"
Scott's eyes opened his eyes. The lake was gone; he was back in their bedroom. He rolled over and took two sleeping pills from a container, and popped them in his mouth. This was his new routine.
Before the pills took effect, Scott mumbled something.
"I miss you."
A month after Alkali Lake, the Mutant Registration Act passed. Machines known as Sentinels were deployed all over the world. Millions of mutants were captured and herded off to settlements.
But there were some who resisted. The recent events gave Magneto a opportunity to recruit for his Brotherhood, for there were plenty of mutants looking for an chance to fight against the humans. But Magneto also knew that he would need some powerful weapon to be able to win this war. And the answer was not very far away.
-BROTHERHOOD HIDEOUT
Magneto had heard a new recruit from Canada, talking about a mutant that he and his sister had found washed up on the shores of a nearby lake in his hometown.
"Tell me more about this mutant."
"Well sir, she looked like she was in a coma when I left her, so I never got her name. But she has red hair, and was wearing a tattered black uniform."
"Where is she now?"
"Uh… I didn't know what to do, so I left her in a cave. That was a few days ago, so she might not even be alive."
"Mystique! Get the helicopter ready, we're taking a trip to Canada."
