AllStar X-Men #1: The Brotherhood Part 1 (Mutopia Tie-In)
Washington D.C.—The White House
We enter the Oval Office where Senator Robert Kelly discusses important matters with the president of the United States.
"We can not allow these mutants to take over our country," says Senator Kelly. "Mr. President have you seen what they have done to Genosha?"
"Senator Kelly I assure you no one will be take over American soil while I'm in office," says President Cook. "These events involving Genosha and this Brotherhood of Mutants are out of our jurisdiction."
"Sir, if we don't do something now we're next," says Senator Kelly.
"Don't worry things are under control," says President Cook.
Genosha
"The Americans are quaking in their boots Lord Magneto," says Sunfire. "We should strike."
"Shiro my dear boy, it is quite too early for us to move on the States," says Magneto.
"But Lord Magneto," says Sunfire.
Magneto stops him before he can finish and says, "I know you want to get your revenge against them for taking away your country's honor, but it is far too early. We must build our army and watch there's. There's one foe in the states that I know will be building his army to stop us and we need to be ready."
Sunfire looks at Magneto with an expression on his face showing that he understands and agrees with him.
"Charles I'll be ready for you," says Magneto.
Westchester, New York
It's a quiet day in Westchester. There is a school here where mutants go to learn to control their powers and try to find a place for themselves in this world. This place is called the Xavier Institute, a place for higher learning for gifted youngsters, as it says on the gate. The school grounds are quiet today, because the students have been sent home for the rest of the week since classes have been canceled. In his office we find Professor Charles Xavier working at his desk. There's a knock on the door.
"Come in Logan," says Xavier.
The door opens and Logan, also known as the Wolverine, enters the office. "What is this about Chuck," asks Logan.
"As you know my former associate Eric Magnus has lead a team of mutants in taking over the island nation of Genosha," says Xavier.
Logan smirks and says, "Yeah, what about it? Is Magneto getting bored over there?"
"I have just learned that he has plans of attacking the States," says Xavier.
"Where did you hear of this? You got yourself a spy or something over in Genosha," replies Logan.
"Indeed he does," says a voice of a woman from behind Logan.
Logan turns around to see who spoke. "Who are you," asks Logan.
"Don't tell me you don't remember me Wolvie," says the mystery woman.
"Logan this is Jubilee. She has been working for me for sometime now," says Xavier.
"You seriously don't remember me," questions Jubilee.
"No. Never seen you before in my life," says Logan.
"Well, there's no time to discuss the past. We have more important things going on," says Jubilee.
"What do you want from me," asks Logan.
"I need you to lead a team. To train and prepare for the day Magneto strikes," replies Xavier.
"What team? You sent everyone home," says Logan.
"Not everyone," says Xavier. "Meet your teammates."
Five more mutants enter the room and stand before Logan. "I'd like you to meet Peter Rasputin a.k.a. Colossus, Robert Drake a.k.a. Iceman, Kitty Pride a.k.a. Shadowcat, Kurt Wagner a.k.a. Nightcrawler, and Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm. Jubilee will also be a part of your team," says Xavier. "There is more to be learned of concerning Magneto's threat. For now get acquainted with each other. I will let you all know if any new news comes up."
The team leaves Professor Xavier's office to talk.
"So, you're the team leader huh," says Bobby Drake. "What can you grow more hair?"
"No, I can cut you into little ice cubes," says Logan.
SNIKT!
Logan pops his claws and Bobby steps back. "Ahh, neat trick," says Bobby.
Manhattan, New York—Stark Industries
Owner of Stark Industries, Tony Stark, is also at work in his office. It seems he has a connection to the threat in Genosha and it's not a good one. He talks with someone over the phone as he looks at some papers on his desk. "Hey, I need you to do me a favor and get Cain Marko in here," says Tony.
Cain Marko has been working for Tony for many years as his body guard. He enters Tony's office. "Yes, boss man you wanted to see me," says Cain.
"What did I say about calling me that," asks Tony.
"Not too do it, but it sounds funny every time I say it. Tony what's up? You know what time it is," asks Cain.
"Yeah, sorry to break up your time with the ladies, but something has come up," says Tony.
"What," asks Cain.
Tony lifts a piece of paper and shows it to Cain and says, "I received a notice from the mutant terrorist Eric Magnus that he will be coming for our technology. He says that he will use it to enhance his soldiers' powers. If he gets our tech he will use it to wage war against our country."
"So, what are you gonna let me wear that Iron Man suit of yours," asks Cain.
"Not quite," says Stark. "Set your eyes on this beauty, the Juggernaut Mark 1."
"So, that was what this special Juggernaut Project was about. What can it do," asks Cain.
"It enhances strength and speed, it will make you nearly invulnerable. We need to prepare should they come," replies Tony.
"When do I try it on," asks Cain.
"The sooner the better, let's go down to the lower levels," says Tony.
Genosha
Magneto stands before his team of mutants called the Brotherhood. "Our first step to taking on America is to steal the technology invented by Tony Stark. Sunfire, Polaris, and Unus you will be going to New York to raid Stark Industries. Obtain everything and anything you find," says Magneto.
"Yes, Lord Magneto," says Sunfire, Polaris, and Unus.
"Now go," says Magneto.
The team leaves Magneto to do what they're told. "Polaris," says Magneto as he calls her back. "Keep an eye on Sunfire. I don't want him to ruin the mission."
"Yes, father," says Polaris.
Westchester, New York
Kitty, Peter, Bobby, Ororo, and Kurt talk amongst each other, while Jubilee watches Logan stand in the back of the room with his back on the wall.
Jubilee narrates: Sure it was along time ago, but he said he wouldn't forget me. Many years ago we met in Japan. He was burying his wife Mariko and daughter after she had been killed by two savages working for an organization called Weapon X. I learned everything about him. I know what happened in Canada, why what happened in Manhattan happened. The day we met, he saved me. That day changed my life and I could never get him out of my mind. Sure he's maybe pushing a hundred years, but he looks no older then me. I fell in love with the man named Logan and it hurts that he doesn't remember me.
"Kid, don't know what your deal is, but you think you could stop staring at me," asks Logan.
Jubilee narrates: Ahh… I want to tell him about what happened in Japan, but not with these others here. I need to be alone with him.
"What will we do when this Magneto guy comes along," asks Kurt. "We have to have some sort of plan."
"None of us has ever seen this man before," says Ororo. "There's no way we can prepare for him."
"Why do you think I'm leading the team," questions Logan. "I've been here for awhile and I know Magneto. He has the power to manipulate electromagnetic fields and control metal. He has a major attitude problem and hates Homo sapiens."
"His team consists of mutants called Sunfire, Blob, Unus, Toad, Avalanche, Polaris, and Omega Red. Sunfire is a fire element mutant from Japan seeking revenge against the United States for what they did to his country during World War 2. Blob in close to invulnerable and Unus is untouchable. Toad is exactly what you think he is. Avalanche is an orphan with the power to cause earthquakes. Polaris, Magneto's daughter, also has magnetic powers. Omega Red is a mystery, he's Magneto's body guard, who I've met before but he has been altered," says Jubilee.
"Well we know something," says Peter. "That's something."
"How do you know who he's keeping in close company," asks Logan.
"Cause I used to be part of his team," replies Jubilee. "I was in the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants."
