Chapter 6
He was a large man, with thinning brown hair and intense green eyes. He wore a tweed suit and held his hands behind his back while he spoke like we were little children he was about to punish.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am Drake Peters, current leader of the Mutant Control Force," he answered. His voice boomed like he was on a loud speaker.
"I allowed both of you to show up here, so that I may finish you once and for all."
"Awful tough talk for a human," Wolverine said, his claws at the ready.
"Well, you see, I am no ordinary human. I have discovered how to harness the power of mutants and use it for myself. Note, if you will, the control collars we put on all of our mutant prisoners. They are greatly modified by those used in Genosha, because they don't suppress a mutant's powers, they transmit them. In fact, I have an implant in my body right now that receives the signals from those collars. At any moment I choose, I may gain the powers of every mutant we have in captivity here"
"Of course, I will have more power than you two have ever seen before, and likely will crush you both like bugs, but please, don't let me win, it will take the fun out of killing you."
"Why would you do something like that?" I asked. For the former leader of an organization bent on conquering all of mankind, I didn't really understand the nature of evil.
"Because, I can. It took many years of climbing my way up the political ladder, but I finally got to where I am today. Now, I will use my stolen powers to conquer the entire world. And, with this mansion as my home base, no one will ever be able to sneak up on me. I will rule with an iron fist, and crush all those who oppose me."
Wolverine lunged forward, but it was too late. Drake snapped his fingers and activated the implant. He began to change. We were doomed.
