The Brotherhood of Mutants
Chapter 3: Recruitment
In a small park in Toledo the mutant known as Toad sat at the feet of a boy in a dark blue hooded sweatshirt.
"Sooo, maybe you're a mutant?" Todd asked nervously.
"That's what I said frog boy," the boy snorted "Are you going to tell me want you want or are you just going to keep staring at me? If it's the latter I'm not going to keep being so nice to you."
"Oh uh, my names Todd but everyone calls me Toad because of how I look," Todd quickly said "And me and my friends, and a lady we work for, were sent here to find you."
"Really, now why would you be looking for me," the boy said.
"Well we mutants should stick together," Todd responded
"I never said I was a mutant," the boy shot back.
"Well I figured a person that has solid green eyes that glow in the dark is not normal."
"Fair enough," the boy said as he extended his grey shriveled hand to Todd, who just stared at it in surprise "Are you going to take my hand and let me help you up or are you just going to keep sitting on the ground?"
"Oh sorry, caught me by surprise," Todd said taking the offered hand and standing up "Not many people offer to help me."
"So what are these people you're here with like and more importantly who threw you through the air?" the boy asked.
"Well I'm here with Lance Alvers, also called Avalanche because he makes earthquakes, Freddy Dukes, also called Blob because he's a big guy that's invulnerable and super strong, and then theirs the boss lady. She's called Mystique and she's a shape shifter, there is also Pietro Maximoff, also called Quicksilver because he's super fast, but he's back home right now, and together were called the Brotherhood," Todd answered "And then there are the X-Men, or the X-geeks as we like to call them, their led by this guy Professor Charles Xavier, he's a telepath which means he can go into and mess with your head, then there is Wolverine, he's a mean guy with metal claws that likes to slice people up for fun, also they have this lady called Storm, she can control the weather and is the one that threw me through the air after I got her mad from sliming her hair."
"I see anyone else," the boy asked.
"Yeah those were the older adult X-geeks, they have a bunch of people our age too. There's Scott Summers, he's also called Cyclops cause he wears this really stupid red visor to keep his laser eye blasts contained because he can't control it. He also bosses around the X-geeks our age and is really stuck up. Then we have Princess Perfect Jean Grey, she's also a telepath but with telekinetic powers, so she can move things with her mind, she's just as stuck up as Summers. Then their is Fuzzy also called Kurt Wagner also called Nightcrawler, he can teleport and looks like a fuzzy blue elf with a pointed tail, he wears this special watch that makes him look normal, he's also German and talks funny. They also have Kitty Pride also called Shadowcat, she can walk through solid objects and talks like a valley girl reject. Their also is Evan Daniels known as Spyke because he shoots bone spikes from his body, he and Pietro are big rivals, he is also Storm's nephew. Lastly there is a girl only known as Rogue, she sucks people's life, memories, and powers out when her skin comes in contact with theirs, she's a traitor because she left us for the X-geeks and a crush she has on Summers," Todd explained.
"Sounds like you and your friends don't get along with the X-geeks very well, not that I can blame you from what you told me," the boy said "But if your all mutants why don't you all get along?"
"Well you seeā¦" Todd said "The X-geeks are really into this idea that mutants and humans can all get along together, which is bull since they can't even get along with each other."
"And what does the Brotherhood stand for?" the boy asked.
"Well I don't really know what Mystique thinks but me and my friends are all for doing whatever we want as long as the boss lady doesn't catch us."
"Well that sounds like my kind of place," the boy said with a grin.
"Really? Well if your going to join us we at least need to know your name," Todd said
"Fair enough, My name is Nicholas Kin, people call me Nick sometimes," Nick said "But I would prefer if you and your friends call me Atrophy."

'X-Men stop fighting the brotherhood I have located the mutant you must hurry but I fear we may be to late,' Prof. Xavier said telepathically
'On it Professor.' 'Sure thing Professor.' 'Whatever Chuck.' 'Yes Professor,' the others sent back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The X-Men quickly disengaged from the people they were fighting and made there way to the park Nick and Todd were talking in. The brotherhood also got a call on their walkie-talkies from Toad about his current location and situation, and they also made their way to the park. Soon both teams were in the park staring each other down.
"Mystique tell your goons to back off your not going to get this mutant," Logan snarled
"Really now? Well that is for him to decide but I believe he has already made up his mind, Isn't that right Atrophy?" Mystique stated smugly
"Yes Mystique it is," Nick said "I'm with the brotherhood."
