Ok, you're all going to hate me for this...but this is the last chapter for the next 2 weeks...and well, this is a short chapter. No, no, please don't throw your rotten vegetables. I will be back. Just try to hold out until then. You can do it. Ah, well...enjoy this incredibly short chapter.
"I'm tellin' you man, it was him," Toad protested to Magneto, "Right there in black an' white."
"It was a color TV, you moron," Pietro scowled.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Toad continued, "That's besides the point."
"It's the truth, boss," Photon, who had taken to calling Magneto "boss", stepped up behind the other two mutants, "He was watching a bar fight, for some reason."
"Very interesting," Magneto said, in thought, "Why would Nucleo be watching bar fights?"
"Maybe he's looking for someone," Lance suggested, standing next to Photon.
"Revenge," Magneto said suddenly, "He's looking for revenge."
"Revenge?" Paste had just entered the room, followed by the rest of the Brotherhood, "Who, what, where, when, and why?"
"I assume none of them know anything about this," Magneto stared at the assembly of mutants.
"I'll fill them in," Pietro offered, and before anyone could protest he began, "A few days ago we were watching the news on the new TV Photon stole for us and while we were watching we saw a thing on the news about a bar fight which wasn't that interesting but then the camera pointed at the window and we saw Nucleo out there."
There was a good thirty seconds in which Pietro looked around proudly and everyone else gazed at him, wondering how he didn't have to take a breath throughout the sentence.
"So, uh, Nucleo wants revenge?" Paste asked again, "For what?"
"He wants revenge on us," Magneto announced, "He wants to get back at us for trying to experiment on him."
"Well, technically, you were the one who wanted to experi..." Paste began, but stopped when Magneto narrowed his eyes at him, "...imewazibboffle."
"So, uh, why was he at a bar fight?" Zombie said hesitantly.
"He is most likely building an army to strike back at us," Magneto replied, "And with the decrease in our numbers, we may have to search out a few more participants."
"When will we be going?" Gambit asked, holding an ace of spades between his fingers.
"Very soon," Magneto answered immediately, "First, we must search out our subjects and we'll begin to do that tomorrow."
"Finally, something to do," Locust said, grinning, "I can't wait."
"I will return in the morning to come and get you," Magneto told them and then left the house.
"We got some training to do, mes amis," Gambit turned to the rest of the Brotherhood, "Let's get started, shall we?"
"It's gonna be a long night," Toad moaned to Pietro.
So...how long did that take you? Two minutes, right? Oh, you...yeah, you with the bowl of pasta on your head...ONE MINUTE?! You are truly incredible! You should be rewarded. As should the rest of my reviewers. You guys are great. AHA! I shall leave you with some wisdom before I leave. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Yes, I am sure you have heard that one before. Well, anyway, I'm going to roll away now so I don't gather any moss on me. That would be gross.
