Hey all, I know I should be updating one of my many other stories, but still I got this really cute plot bunny while reading one of the many romantic fanfics out there. Reading all the plot twists because the lovers are on opposite teams made me wonder, what does Magneto think of all this love? I guess that and because spring is in the air lol :-p Enjoy!
!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!
Magneto sat at his desk, his pencil's eraser tapping against the table in an erratic tune only he knew. He was looking at a pad of paper, one of those long yellow pads. It had two list's, on the left margin, the other down the right hand margin. The on the left consisted of the code names of all his acolytes, and the brotherhood. On the right margin was a list of the X:men and the new recruits.
There were different types of lines connecting names from both lines. Some were in large U's, like the one linking Cyclops and Jean's names, other's were straight lines across the paper, like the one connecting his daughter's name and Nightcrawler's, others still were dotted lines, like the one linking Scarlet Witch and Toad's.
These lines linked the romances that Magneto knew of going on between Xavier's kids, and the children under his watch. He stared down at the paper, frowning. The first two lines he noticed were the two from the left side, joining together at one name on the right. Kitty Pryde. How had that perky girl get the attention of not only his son, but the old leader of the Brotherhood, Avalanche? (And how had he not been able to notice for so long?) He ignored the dotted line connecting Toad and his daughter's name, he had known about that for a long time.
Instead, he was staring at the line connecting Wanda and Nightcrawler, "Where did that come from? My daughter and Mystique's son?" He shuddered. Next he stared at the last line that connected one of his men to one of Xavier's children. Gambit and the young lady named Rogue. This was the one he had been thinking over for such a long time.
He figured that there was no way he would ever convince Wanda to help him, and Pietro would just deny it and he wasn't going to ask Lance for help. Magneto stared at his paper, from GAMBIT to ROGUE, back to GAMBIT, then back to ROGUE. He started doodling on his paper as he sat back and wondered.
Remy flirted with so many women, surely this would just be another one of his... flings, correct? But he wasn't too sure... He did seem to truly like her. Heaven knew he had maxed out on of Magneto's credit cards on flowers, chocolate, a nice dinner, and a very expensive piece of emerald and ruby necklace. But surely, with the correct bribery, he could get Gambit to spy on the X:men...
Were was Gambit anyway...Oh, yes, he was out following his 'Cherie'. Why had he let Gambit go out again? Oh, he remembered the last time he refused to let Gambit go on his date... he spent the next week refurnishing his office. He could still see the explosion marks on his walls...
He could send Gambit to the institute, to spy for him... No he wouldn't do that... Not send, but... force. Yes. he would force Gambit to go to the institute, then, after Gambit started to become part of the team, force him to come back and tell him everything...
Would that work? Of course it would, all his plans worked! He was a master genius, after all... Just then someone knocked at his door. "What is it?" He asked, in a fairly good mood since he had just planned out another of his perfect schemes.
John stepped inside, "Well, Mags, I was wonderin' if I could have the afternoon and night off? I've got something to work on." he smirked.
Magneto thought for a second, hell, why not? "Just as long as you promise not to burn anything down."
"Sure thing, mate!" John said, giving him his trademark maniac-like smile, and the thumbs up.
Magneto was about to turn back to his paper when he looked back up, "Just exactly what -are- you going to do, Pyro?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Pyro's smile widened in pride, "I'm off to go see m'Sheila!" he said as happy as a kid that is just informed that he gets a free treat to the candy store.
"Your sheela?" Magneto asked.
"'Mara... Y'know, Magma, the beautiful Sheila that turns into fire!?" He asked, seeming shocked that Magneto didn't know who Amara was.
"Oh... yes... You're dating her? I didn't know... Well... don't let me hold you up, and remember, Hell hath no fury like a pissed off women!" Magneto called after him.
"AMEN!" John called behind his shoulder.
Now back to his plotting... Where was he-oh, yes... Sending, no, forcing Gambit and, wait, why not Pyro. Yes. He would force Gambit and Pyro to the Xavier Institute, then make them come back and tell him all they learned. It was perfect.
Magneto leaned back in his chair, proud of a hard day's work done well... Now if only he could find that damn remote so that he could watch his Jerry Springer...
!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!
Well there it is, it's not that long but its just a short thing I came up with. I do have a plot to continue this... But should I or should I save my plot for later? You tell me! Review please!
