Review answers:

Rysto torcrea: Thank you so much; you are too kind my friend ;) And way to go, your fist fic is very good (mine sucked so I deleted it). Hope you like this chapter as well.

Flames101: Thank you for both the compliment and the advice; I believe I changed that. I'm afraid you are not correct, but you will probably know who it is in the middle of the story even though the mutant's name is actually only said close to the end of the chapter.

Lone raven: Hope you enjoy this one too my friend. And never fear the Romy is here. :D

Guardian of Balance: Well...blushes that was the best compliment ever :) Thanks for pointing that mistake out, but I really don't know how to correct it without actually erasing the chapter... I'm sorry but I kind of already have the Romy planned. But since you and Flames101 like Scott/Rogue so much I think I can squeeze some of it in here. Thanks for the review and hope you will review again.

Chapter 3: The new recruit

'They are going to pay... all of them, especially him... he is going to pay with his life... This is all his fault,' the thought came to the bitter, lonely mutant.

-Back At The Acolytes Base-

John was lying in his bed with his eyes closed listening to Scoters "Fire." He hoped that the loud techno music could keep his mind off the boss's daughter. It also gave him some inspiration to write; but with all the commotion in the base over the new mutant, he didn't seem to find sanctuary anywhere.

Knock Knock

"Mon ami? Boss said dat it was time to go," Remy said as he turned the knob and poked his head in.

John lazily got up and headed towards his friend, thinking, 'It's time to get the newbie.'

"Johnny...Remy be worried about you mon ami," Remy said with concern in his eyes, as he placed his right hand on his friends right shoulder and started to drag him to the room that Magneto kept his travelling spheres in. "All you seem to do lately is go to your room, lay down, and listen to dat lousy music and sulk around. Listen to Remy... Remy know dat she is a hot femme and all, but you can't have her. So please...for your ami here, would you just forget about her? Dere is plenty of fish in de sea."

"Oh...I can't have Wanda but you can have Rogue?" John asked, amused, with a perked eyebrow, knowing about his friend's monster crush on the X-men Goth.

"Dat is different! Remy's chérie is in love with him; even she knows it, Remy knows she does," Remy said with a smirk, thinking, 'Remy's empathic powers don't lie.'

"Oh please, you told me your self, you almost blew up her hand when you two first met," John said, almost laughing as they stopped walking.

Remy looked at John and then started to laugh as he thought, 'It's true." It was then that Remy had discovered the one and only girl that he would ever love and he was fortunate enough to that she loved Remy too. Yes, his chérie had a crush on Scott Summers but Remy was positive that she would come to her senses; after all it was public knowledge that Scott Summers loved Jean Grey. Besides Remy knew that he was the best choice for the sassy southern girl.

He then placed his arm around John and continued to drag him to the spheres room, as John resumed arguing that he and Wanda belonged together. Remy only laughed, noticing, for the first time, how much both girls were alike. As they arrived at the spheres room they both got in them and headed towards their target.

-The Mystery Mutant Location, 280 Meters Above The Ground-

It was a military plane; it had several computers and chemicals on board. They were transporting her from their old facilities to a new one, since she completely destroyed their old complex on her last escape attempt. She almost succeeded, too. So now she was in an adamantium cage, it was the only thing that could withstand those claws of hers. They were the things she hated and loved most in her life, they were the things that made her special and a freak at the same time, but then again her mere existence was unnatural. She was only a clone, after all; she had dark hair and hazel eyes like him, even the same temper, or so she heard.

"Hello," said a man in military uniform, charmingly, to the blond Doctor that was now analysing her.

"Hello," the Doctor replied, with a light smile.

"When do you think she'll wake up?" he asked, obviously without much care for the answer at all.

"I don't know. Her immune system is very different from ours; she responds differently to medication. She gains an immunity to each drug we giver her and we have to get a different kind of drug, each time more powerful," she explained, amazed by the being in front of her. "If the military wanted, they could use her to discover cures to all kind of diseases… but no, they prefer to have her as a weapon."

"Well...aren't you caring," The girl said to the Doctor as she got up and opened her eyes.

"Well I guess that answers my question," The soldier said, rather unenthusiastically, as he looked at her smiling sadistically when he asked, "Ready to be 'Reprogrammed'?"

She walked towards the soldier and got as close as possible, verifying that he was still out of reach as she placed her hands on the bars and with a smile she whispered something unintelligible, then through her head back laughing madly.

"What is so funny? What did you say you freak?" the soldier demanded angrily, as he stepped forward to stand really close to her in order to seem more intimidating.

As soon as the soldier stepped forward the laughter died and she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him roughly against the bars of her cell.

She then whispered to him, dangerously, slowly, "I said that it is going to be great seeing that stupid smile on your face disappear as I peal the flesh off your bones."

She unleashed her claws and stabbed the soldier repeatedly with amazing speed. The Doctor ran quickly retrieving the tranquilliser gun. She aimed and shot the girl four times, until she collapsed. It was then that the plane suddenly stopped and everyone hit the ground.

-Meanwhile The Spheres Landed-

The plane was a small dot that was right above them.

Magneto turned to his Acolytes and said in his harsh tone, "I trust that you won't fail me now, my Acolytes."

The Acolytes exchanged looks among each other and then looked at their leader who had his arms up and was manoeuvring the plane that held their future ally.

-Nightfall at the Acolytes Base-

The unconscious girl had finally woken up; she literally jumped off a king size bed and looked around. She was in a regular bedroom, she guessed; it had dark blue walls, wood furniture, a big closet and a dresser. The bed had a blue comforter. There was also a big window with a balcony. She could see crystal blue water; there was so much of it that it seemed to not have an end.

There were two wooden doors; she opened the first one while unleashing her claws. She was ready to slice anything that came her way, but all she saw when she opened the door was a bathtub, a shower, a toilet, a sink and a bidet. She realised that those facilities were to be used by the owner of the room.

As she turned to go to the other door, she came across a mirror and looked at her self, her clothes were a mess, all torn and dirty. That's when she noticed some clean clothes folded neatly on a chair near the bed. Without delay she put them on, they consisted of a simple dark blue shirt that was kind of tight on the chest area but flared out at her stomach, a pair of black jeans that hung low on her hips and were tight on the butt and thighs but flared out at the bottom and she wore her own boots.

She then walked towards the other door; as soon as she opened it she heard a few voices, three men, each with a distinct accent. One with what sounded like a Russian accent, one that seemed to be American from the south, and another that had a distinctive laughter.

Hurrying she ran in the opposite direction of where the voices came from. If they were able to handle a Hydra plane then they were probably mutants and she knew that they were probably powerful too, so it was better to avoid confrontations. She spotted a door not too far from where she was, so she opened it without even looking inside. A few seconds after that her sense of smell kicked in; as soon as she turned around she was greeted by a monkey like man and an older one that had a friendly smile on his face.

'Oh...if you think I'm going to trust you just because you're smiling, you must be one huge idiot!' she thought angrily.

"You have anything to do with what happened at the plane?" she asked, anger slipping out with every word she pronounced.

"Yes, I did. My associates and I were responsible for you freedom," Magneto stated, as he used his powers to open the metal door behind her, allowing the rest of his Acolytes to enter the room. They all had warm smiles on their faces.

"My freedom? Why do I get the impression that you didn't release me for my beautiful eyes?" she asked sarcastically, with a perked eyebrow.

"Because I didn't. I released you because I want you to help me with something. Don't worry, it will be a partnership since I am sure that you will enjoy helping me," Magneto said, smiling, knowing what her next question was going to be.

"And way is that?" she asked with a frown.

"Because according to the files I posses, is it fair to say that you have a grudge against your...how do I say this...original self...maybe father...anyways I know who and where he is and if you help me he is all yours," Magneto said, knowing this one was in the bag.

"You know where Weapon X is?" she shouted, as she stomped towards him and released her claws. "Tell me now!"

"Calm down, girl!" Magneto ordered, stopping her in her tracks with his powers. "One thing that you must always remember is that I can destroy you, so don't give me a reason to do it."

He then released his hold on her. "Do we have a deal?" he asked her gently.

"Yes, now lets make this fast what do you want me to do?" The mutant girl asked.

"Right now, nothing. You will train and become one of my Acolytes. I will let you know when it is time," Magneto said mysteriously to the girl. "I see you found the clothes that were left for you, unfortunately I don't have anymore of them so my associate, Gambit, will take you shopping first thing in the morning. And please keep in mind that if you run you won't find Weapon X."

Gambit touched her shoulder and said, "Come on chérie, it's best if we feed you now."

She glared at the hand on her shoulder; Gambit instantly removed it and stretched his arm in order to show her the way out.

"By the way. What is your name?" Magneto asked, proud that he made the equally proud teen swallow her pride and submit to his will.

"I don't have one, but the personnel on Hydra called me X-23," The girl answered and left the room accompanied by the tall, dark, handsome Cajun.

-Later, At The Brotherhood House-

Wanda was trying to sleep but started to hear things bumping against her window. The first few times she thought it was just the wind but now it had really started to get on her nerves. All of a sudden, a really big rock broke through her window. She got up quickly and headed toward it; she was in no mood to tear up anyone at 3:00 A.M. She opened the window, carefully as to not to cut herself, and poked her head out. Some music started to play and then to her great horror she found Toad serenading her.

Baby cakes
You just don't know, know
How I, I
How I like it down low, low
And I just want you to know
That I think our love will grow
We'll take it step by step
Because I'm not something you own

Confused? Don't know what I'm feeling
Confused relationships without meaning
In the mist I can see it gleaming
Time to wake up and stop the dreaming
Coz your my lil' Baby cakes
And I know you got what it takes
The way you make me feel
The way that I am...

At this time Wanda hexed her dresser on him and all you could hear was Lance screaming at Blob.

"Blob are you sleeping on the neighbours cat again?" Lance asked angrily, remembering that they all had to listen to the woman yell at them for hours and pay the vets bill the last time he did it.

"A guy does that once and he's branded for life," Blob answered.

"Would you guys shut the hell up? I need my beauty sleep. How else can I remain the living god that I am?" shouted Pietro.

After all the shouting Wanda went back to sleep.

"Baby cakes, your dresser fell on me," Toad whispered, in pain outside.

That is if for now. Hope you enjoyed it and will review. Remember to go easy on the flames and that I will be more than glad if you give me advice on how to improve my writing. The songs name is "Baby cakes" and is Three of a kind's.

Next chapter: Kevin arrives in Bayville and makes some friends.
