Chapter 2
Convincing a Rogue
Marie curled up in her helicopter seat, not sure what to do. The blue woman and the pilot had not spoken to her or each other since the take off. The woman's words still echoed in her head, "You will never be alone again…Welcome to the brotherhood." What was the brotherhood? She knew nothing about these people but she had willingly entered this helicopter and left the life that she knew behind. No, she corrected herself, she left her old life behind eight months ago, but her mother's voice still echoed in her head telling her not to go off with strangers. She took a quick peek at the blue woman again. They didn't get stranger than that. But after returning her gaze to her gloves, she realized she wasn't one to talk. She leaned her head against the window, trying to see the scenery. The moon reflected light against the pure snow and the rest of the world was covered in darkness. She kept that image in her head as she slipped off into sleep.
"Hey kid, wake up." an English accented voice urged Marie. Following the voice was an annoying poking sensation. She opened her tired eyes and jumped back in fright. In front of her was a green looking creature with awful skin and a terrible foul odor.
"What?" She blinked.
The guy rolled back his beady eyes. "We're here." He threw his pilot's helmet across the cabin and exited the craft with one hop while muttering something.
Marie stretched her sore arm muscles over head. She looked out the window again but all she could see was the black sky. Turning her head she looked to find the blue woman, who was nowhere insight. Cautious, she picked up her duffle bag and left the helicopter. Every bad scenario filled her brain. They were going to kill her, maul her, or destroy her. She felt mildly relieved that they couldn't rape her...or could they? Her boots crunched on the gravel and the night air cooled her cheeks. Pulling her green hood closer to her head she observed her surroundings. In front of her stood a massive mountain with a small hole that looked like it lead into a cave. Seeing nowhere else to go, she entered the opening.
The gross pilot was in the foyer with paint goggles over his beady eyes. His gaze didn't even look over to her as he adjusted a spray can. He just pointed in the direction for her to go. She stepped down a short flight of stone steps and followed a lengthy corridor. The air chilled her so she wrapped her arms closer around her body. She was thinking that the corridor would go on forever when a huge opening appeared. As cautious as ever, she stepped through the opening.
Her breath stopped as she looked at the huge slabs of metal intergraded in the stone. It was majestic and grand, almost like a throne room. Her attention turned to the huge metal desk. Or more apt, it turned to the man behind it. Atop his head was a full mane of white hair. His body was built for a man half his age, and his blue eyes held a dignified look.
"Ah, you are the mutant Mystique brought back." His voice was as regal as his looks. "Welcome to the Brotherhood, little one."
She shyly took a step closer, unsure of herself and this man. "What is the Brotherhood?"
"Mystique didn't tell you? Oh well. The Brotherhood is a band of mutants trying to keep mutant kind alive and strong in the world. We are currently finding away to end the Mutant Registration Act."
She swallowed. "Mutant Registration?"
He sent her a small grin as he motioned her to come closer. "Yes, this kind of act would make every mutant vulnerable to the wills of man. And we are not going to let that happen…."
What he said sounded ok but she felt the gnawing at her gut again. "How?"
"With your help, but I will explain that later… What is your name little one."
She thought of saying her real name, but decided to use the one that suited her instead, "Rogue."
He smiled at the name. "Well Rogue, my name is Erik Lensherr. But I am more commonly known as Magneto." He raised his hand slightly and a metal chair went under her gently. She let out a startled sound which made him smile more. "I can control magnetic fields. It is useful for a world that runs on technology built from metal."
"So why did you choose me to be in this group? I can't do anything…"
He sighed. "You under estimate your potential. You have the ability to borrow any other mutant's power…you can kill anyone with a touch…and you can accomplish any challenge."
"How did you know that? I never…"
"I have been keeping track of you for some time. My contacts are vast and I thought you would be a perfect asset to our team. Where Mystique is brutally accurate with her blows or can change into any shape…you can gain someone's trust through your natural vulnerability, and then destroy them before they know it."
She was taken back, "I can't kill anyone…that would be…"
"Necessary." He stated the simple word. He reached down to his sleeve and revealed his arm. Faded numbers patterned across his skin. "This is what happens when you let the ones in power react first. Millions died because of what they were born like. I will not let that happen again…I can not let it happen again. Instead of letting them register our lives and then take us away in the middle of the night to some gas chamber. I am going to make them realize that they are the inferior race and mutants shall rein."
Rogue recognized the pain in Magneto's voice. He planted the seed of doubt inside her head, the only seed needed. "What can I do to help?"
Magneto smiled. Everything was going to plan.
AN/ Yes it is kind of short but I know where it going to go for the next chapter. Pardon the misrepresented Magneto. This is the first time I ever wrote him in all my stories. I am working on the evil, but for the betterment of mutant kind thing. lol! Just have patience with me! Please review and tell me if this chapter sucked! I will update soon!
Love to all my wonderful reviewers!
