%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

An older man appeared above the crowed. He had gray hair and a cape flapped around him, on his head sat a metal helmet. His hand was out stretched and it appeared that he was what was keeping the mutants from falling to their deaths.

The man extended his other hand and stopped the bullets that were flying his way, and then sent them hurdling into the humans who had seconds before shot them. The entire street was filled with screaming, running, terrified humans. The crammed them selves in to their cars and promptly caused several traffic jams and accidents. The police would have to spend days cleaning the place up.

"Homo Sapiens. Little more than animals really." Said the man in the sky to himself.

Then abruptly he turned and flew away from the city. The makeshift metal ships obediently followed him, their occupants, on the other hand, were a different story.

The woman had regained consciousness a few minuets before and had been watching the situation carefully. Now she flew out of the car and when beside the Man that currently held her friends life in his hands. He might be able to survive the fall but she was not willing to risk it.

"Who are you and what do you want?" The man did not seemed startled to see her and barely even looked her way

"I am Magneto, leader of the Brotherhood of mutants. What is your name."

"Sasha and that is Derek." She answered. "I've heard of you. Weren't you the guy who tried to turn the leaders of the world into mutants? Good plan...but next time I would prepare better."

"I did not hear of any other bright ideas and no one else was doing any thing to help the mutants. I have learned several things since then. Besides it is very stupid to anger someone who just saved your life."

"About that, why did you do it? Don't tell me it was out of the goodness of you heart because we all know that that is bull crap."

"It was because I was in the right place at the right time. And you will join the other mutants that I have brought together. I assume you will join? It is a long way to the ground."

Sasha frowned slightly; she did not like to be ordered around. But for right now she would have to live with it and work for him

"Yes...We will join you."

"Good. Now you both need new names."

"New names? Uh... I guess I'll be called Element, since I control fire, water, air, and ground to some extent." She looked next to then where Derek was clinging to the metal grate. "Derek what do you want your codename to be?"

"I don't know, Crystal is kinda a girls name so I guess Mineral."

"We are at the Brotherhoods new headquarters now."

Before them stood a large metal house, no fortress, that appeared to come out of the cliff which overlooked a stormy ocean.

Sasha swiftly landed next to Magneto and took a quick glance around. Derek practically crawled from the his metal grate and proceeded to kiss the rocky ground before stood up.

"You are now members of the Brotherhood, Element and Mineral. You will be contacted when you are needed. Thunderhead will show you to your room now." With that he dismissed them and entered the building through a side door that looked like it lead to an office of some kind.

"Follow me," said the man before them who was obviously named Thunderhead. He led them through metal hallways past many mutants who smiled or waved at them. Finally they came to a metal door with the number 254 on it.

"Here is your room Derek," motioned Thunderhead. "The number is so you will remember which on is yours.

Derek opened the door to reveal a plain room that appeared to be mostly made of the same metal as the rest of the area.

"Sorry the room is so bare but Magneto did not think about how comfortable the rooms were when he made this place."

"That is ok," replied Damon, as amicable as ever. He simply put out his hand and carefully fashion a beautiful clear crystal chair; it stood out rather starkly from its dim surroundings.

Damon tiredly put his great bulk down on it ad heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'll see you tomorrow Sasha."

"Yeah, you will have to make me one of those chairs." The door closed and Thunderhead started to lead her down the hall.

He had brow hair and deepest green eyes. His chest was broad and it was obvious that he worked out a lot.

"So... Sasha is your name. Kind of unusual, where is it from?"

"My grandmother actually, But...Um, I think it is Russian. What is you name?"

"Kyle, but every one around here is called by their codenames."

"I wonder why Magneto insists on the codename thing. But any way How long have you been part of the Brotherhood?'

Before He could answer a woman with blue skin and yellow eyes walked around the corner. She paused to look disdainfully at the pair.

"Hello Blunderhead I hope you don't mess up showing the new members around. Magneto would not like another mistake." She snickered and started to walk down the hall.

"I wonder , Thunderhead, why some people insist on walking around naked just because their skin is a different color." She winked at him, "to bad your skin isn't green."

Mystique scowled as she walked around the corner. How dare she. I will have show her that it is not safe to make fun of me.

Kyle and Sasha burst out laughing as soon as Mystique was out of earshot.

"You really should not annoy her she is very close to Magneto and can make your life miserable, if you still have one."

"Don't worry about me I don't like either of them. Any way where is my room I am getting tired."

%% Xavier School for Gifted%%

"This is Alice Lane and the footage you just saw was vicious mutant attack in New York city this afternoon. Eyewitnesses say that the mutants shown were working with Magneto and flew off with him minuets after the news helicopter was shot down. If you have any information regarding the mutants please call the number at the bottom of the screen. This has been Alice Lane reporting back to you Judd.

"Thank you Alice. Now the weather report for this week..."

The news drowned on as the teachers at stared sadly at the screen.

"I bet those mutants weren't the ones who started that fight. I read just yesterday of numerous attacks against mutants. We should be doing more to protect people like us." Said Shelby.

"We are doing all we can at the moment Shelby." Answered Xavier.

"Well it sure doesn't look like it is enough." She angrily turned of the TV.

Many miles away in a very different surroundings a man looked up from laptop.

"Damn mutants. When I am done they will not be able to hurt anyone ever again." He turned off the television and returned to his work. The plaque on his door read Microbiologist.
