CHAPTER 17: Meet the president of the USA
The agent opened the door and saw Stryker 'sleeping' in one of the seats. Yuriko was sitting in front of him with a bowl of macadamia nuts in her hand.
"Excuse me, Miss Oyama. Please inform Mr. Stryker that we are already about to land." The agent smiled and closed the door.
Yuriko placed the bowl on the table and walked towards Stryker's sleeping form. She picked up the empty grape bowl from floor and looked at him.
"Stryker. Wake up. We're here." She said commandingly.
Stryker didn't move. His eyes remained unopened.
She gripped the bowl tightly and smacked it hard against the left side of his head.
Stryker's head flailed like a rag doll as the bowl hit him hard on the face. He fell off his seat with his hands clutching his head. A look of agony could clearly be seen on his face.
"I'm awake! I'm awake!" He shouted. "You didn't have to do that!" He winced in pain as he lifted himself from the floor
Yuriko dropped the bowl and walked to the cabin's door. She turned around to look at him. "Compose yourself. We're going to land soon." She said uncaringly.
Stryker rubbed the back if his neck and sighed in frustration.
"Yes, ma'am." He whispered sarcastically.
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
He soon found himself and Yuriko being escorted by two agents through the corridors of the White House. He looked at the pictures and decorations that hung on the walls. Everything looked so familiar. It looked so much like the place he saw in his mind. He felt as if he'd been there before, walking down the same halls with the same people.
/"This is the White House."/ He thought to himself. /"I've been here before."/
He looked to his side and saw Yuriko walking right next to him. In the image he had, he saw her there too. She was also holding onto a suitcase and also had the same hairstyle and business suit on. The only thing that made this Yuriko different was her lack of eyeglasses.
They stopped before a door and one of the agents opened it. Stryker and Yuriko entered a room that looked like a reception area.
A white house agent stood on each corner of the room. There was middle- aged woman sitting behind a desk and she seemed to be fixing some papers. She looked up and saw them enter the room.
"Good morning, Mr. Stryker." She said with a smile. "The president is waiting for you inside." She motioned her hand towards the door on the left side of the room.
Stryker smiled and nodded at her. "Thank you." He made his way to the door with Yuriko following behind him.
The receptionist was actually surprised that Stryker had allowed the young woman to accompany him to the oval office. He always asked her to stay and sit in the reception area like a dog, where she would endlessly fill the room with the sound of her cracking knuckles.
"William." The president said as he saw Stryker enter. He was also surprised to see his assistant with him. "Ms. Oyama, I presume."
Yuriko smiled and closed the door behind them.
"It's nice to meet you again, Mr. President." Stryker walked up to McKenna and smiled as he shook his hand.
/"What are you doing?!"/ Yuriko thought.
McKenna's eyebrows furrowed at Stryker's recent action. "Ah yes. It's nice to have you here again too, William." He forced a smile upon his lips. Stryker was acting strange. Whenever Stryker entered his office, he usually started their conversation with his various plans to eradicate all mutant life on the planet. Now he looked like he wanted to talk about something else.
The president suddenly noticed the bandage that ran across Stryker's forehead.
"What happened to you?" He asked as he pointed out the bandage.
Stryker and Yuriko were suddenly taken aback by the president's question. Yuriko knew they couldn't tell him what really happened. Out of panic, both of them answered in unison.
"We got into a car accident." Yuriko said.
"I fell down the stairs." Stryker said.
Their eyes suddenly darted at each other, and they talked at the same time again.
"Mr. Stryker fell down the stairs." Yuriko said abruptly.
"I got into a car accident." Stryker said.
The president had a confused look in his face as he looked at the two of them. He had no idea what was going on with his anti-mutant advisor and his personal assistant.
Stryker and Yuriko looked at each other and talked again in unison.
"We get into a car accident." Both of them said.
Yuriko quickly put on a fake smile on her face. "I think Mr. Stryker hit his head too hard." She said as she placed a hand on Stryker's shoulder.
President McKenna still looked confused. "Yes, I'm --- I'm starting to believe that."
He looked at Stryker curiously. "Are you sure you're okay, William?"
Stryker raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Yes, I'm fine! I'm very fine."
The president looked sideways and nodded. He placed his hands in his pocket then leaned against his desk. "William..." He said as he looked back at Stryker. "Do you know why I called you here?"
Stryker's eyes looked at Yuriko, then he looked at the president. "You --- want to talk about my --- anti-mutant operations?" He asked. His voice was filled with uncertainty and that bothered McKenna.
"So you weren't able to see my announcement last night." The president said firmly.
"You're announcement?" Stryker asked.
/"What announcement?"/ Yuriko asked herself. Even she wasn't aware of the president's announcement. And the announcement was supposedly relevant to them too.
"I'm sorry, William." McKenna suddenly said. "But I might ask you to terminate some of your projects." The president looked at Stryker, waiting for his reaction.
McKenna knew that Stryker had always wanted to unleash his anti-mutant plans all over the world. The man wanted to eradicate all forms of mutant life. The only thing that he needed was the president's approval. But now, that approval seemed impossible.
"I'm really sorry, William." The president added. He just wasn't Stryker's superior. In a way, he also considered himself as his friend.
Stryker had no idea what the president just told him. He looked at Yuriko and she slightly nodded her head. Was she telling him to agree with the president? Despite the fact that the young woman wanted him dead, it was her who got him this far. So he decided to follow her anyway.
He looked at the president and shrugged. "Okay." He said, smiling.
McKenna's eyebrows furrowed. "What?" He asked curiously. The William Stryker he knew would have fought with every ounce of his humanity to uphold his anti-mutant projects. But this Stryker he was talking to didn't even seem to care. He seemed willing to give up a decade of work with just one word.
"I said okay." Stryker said with his hands together in front of him. "That is --- what you want, right, Mr. President?" He asked curiously. Why would the president question his decision? Didn't he just agree with him?
"Well, of course that's what I want." The president said. His face was still filled with confusion. What was Stryker up to? Did he have another plan up his sleeve? He'd known him do some drastic things before, but his response to the request was too far-fetched. Stryker didn't even seem like himself.
"That settles it then." Stryker said.
The president nodded his head. "Yes. I believe it does."
McKenna was also surprised that Stryker didn't question his sudden change of decision regarding the mutant matter. Something about Stryker's recent actions reminded him too much of Senator Kelly when the senator suddenly refused to support the mutant registration act. Why was everyone slowly starting to support the mutants?
Stryker noticed the baffled look on the president's face. "Is there anything else, mister president?"
The president suddenly snapped out of his trance when he heard Stryker's voice. "No. I believe that's all for now. Thank you very much for your time, William."
"It's been a pleasure." Stryker smiled and shook the president's hand.
McKenna smiled back at him and accepted his courtesy. Still, the confused look on his face lingered. He really expected more of a fight from William. Perhaps his colleague had gone through something that gave him a change of heart, just like Senator Kelly.
"By the way, is there anything else I can do for you?" The president asked.
Yuriko suddenly stepped up. "Mr. Stryker had actually considered going to the mutant school to talk with the professor. He believes that the best way to co-exist with them, and to defend ourselves from them, is to understand them."
McKenna crossed his arms over his chest. He was quite startled when Yuriko mentioned the word 'co-existence'. Just when did Stryker consider co- existing with the mutants? The only thing he wanted to do to them was eradicate them. This reformed Stryker was definitely tugging at his curiosity.
"So you're asking transportation to Xavier's school for the gifted?" The president asked, looking at Stryker.
Stryker's eyes darted to Yuriko, then the president. "Yes. I would love that." He had a hint of uncertainty in his voice. Once again, he wasn't sure what he just got himself into.
The president went behind his desk and pressed a button on the telephone. "Prepare a helicopter for Col. Stryker and Ms. Oyama. They are going to depart for New York soon."
