Disclaimer: None of these characters are mine, except for Aurora, Granite
and Serpentine, and the weapons I gave to Orion, plus her name. But the
character itself remains Marvel's. Plot is mine though.

Chapter 16
Inside the snow covered White House at Washington D.C a roaring crowd were set into a room to the east. At the top of the room, stood on the highest stage was a woman dressed in a dark crimson suit. She was speaking into the microphone and the words were met with cries of approval.
"We must not sit back and allow this monstrosity to rule us!" She cried into the microphone, which buzzed from the volume of the cheers.
"We know that mutants were linked to the Liberty Island incident, and the destruction of Alkali Lake's dam in Canada. And we know that they were responsible for the death of several humans!" She continued, gripping a piece of paper, which she waved enthusiastically to the crowd.
The crowd were shouting their agreements to the woman, who now began listing names.
"Senator Kelly, who has now disappeared completely since his last appearance in the White House!"
Murmurs of recognition.
"Henry Guyrich! Associate of Senator Kelly!"
Another series of noise through the crowd as the names were listed.
"William Stryker! Died at Alkali Lake, he worked in the military for United States! There are probably other dead, innocent victims. We must put up the registration act, we must know what they can do!"
The audience of the senate bellowed their support.
"I, Senator Jennifer Brooks, will make America find out about these mutants. Who they are, where they are, and what they can do! The Registration Act will commence!" Her voice cried passionately into the microphone, her words being spun into the ears of her ever-cheering crowd.
The T.V was shut off with a firm grunt of disgust. Magneto straightened in his seat and cast a glance to his associates, which stood beside the chair. His face turned back to the T.V that showed the senate hearing. Senator Brooks was stood upon the platform, lapping up the cries of support. Magneto's eyes narrowed before he muttered softly, "Foolish Charles."

Sorry this one is short folks. Just needed a chapter specifying on the senate hearing. Don't worry, good chapter coming up next. ;)
