A/N:Sorry it has taken me so long to get this chapter up but I was having some problems uploading the chapter and then my internt did't work but thank you for the reviews and your patients. Enjoy


ThePresident sat at his desk looking over papers on the mutant menace and Magneto's last attack when someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." He said looking up and seeing his secretary come in. She was a beautiful woman stood at five foot two, had short brown hair and wore a navy blue dress suit.

"Mr. President," the woman said, "Mr. Trask is here to see you, sir."

"All right, send him in Julie." The President said getting out of his seat as Julie allowed Bolivar Trask to walk into the oval office and then shut the door to give the men privacy.

"Trask, nice to see you."

"Like wise Mr. President. I hope I'm not interrupting anything. Trask said looking at the papers on the President's desk and seeing pictures of the mutants who had attacked the humans earlier that day.

"No, Trask. You're not interrupting. I was just going over what happened in New York this morning." The President said as he poured two glasses of brandy, handed one to Trask and then directed him to sit on the sofa across from the one that the president now sat on. "What can I do for you, Bolivar?"

"I need your authorization for a project I've been working on."

"What kind of project, Trask?" the President asked as Bolivar handed him a red folder that held various pieces of paper and pictures. Before the President opened the folder something caught the President's eye. It was a single word on the front of the red folder: Sentinel. He had no idea what the word meant or could mean but that's what Trask was for.

"Trask, What is all this?" the President asked as he found blue prints to what seemed to be some sort of giant robots.

"That, Mr. President is the answer to all of our mutant problems."

"How can a robot handle mutants? Does it hunt them?"

"Yes, the robots, as you called them, are able to detect a human from a mutant and once a mutant is found, the Sentinel takes the mutant to camps, where they can be dealt with properly."

The President placed his glass on the coffee table, got p and walked to the window and then back to Trask and said, "You 're talking about putting mutants in concentration camps? If we did that then we'd be no better than the Germans in World War II. I'd be no better than Hitler who ordered the Nazis to captured the Jews and kill them. You want to repeat history? What would happen if the other world powers find out what we are doing? It could very well lead us into World War III."

"With all do respect, Mr. President, I do not believe we can have peace between humans and mutants."

"Charles Xavier seems to believe so."

"Personally sir. I think he's just an old man with false hopes and dreams. The mutant attack this morning in New York will not be the last sir. We are very much in a civil war and if we don't act now sir then we could very well loose so many humans just like Germany lost so many Jews because of what Hitler did. If we act now we may be able to stop this madness that has swallowed our country."

"Well put, Mr. Trask." The president said placing the folder on his desk and crossing his arms as a thought came to him. "If, I said if, I were to authorize this program, how would you get it up and running? How would you build these twenty foot robots?"

"Sentinels, sir. Their called sentinels and I'm glad you asked." Trask said as he opened the door and a rather muscular man walked into the room, wearing a black suit and a green tie, "Mr. President, I'd like to present Sebastian Shaw, who has graciously offered to pay for the sentinel project and to commission them as well."

"Yes," Shaw said getting into the conversation, "Trask told me about the project in passing and I became interested with it and wanted to learn more about the project and what exactly he had in mind."

"Has Trask told you all the details, Mr. Shaw?" The president asked.

"No, not all the details. I only know the basics but once you allow use to actually get these Sentinels under way, I'm sure he will fill me in."

The President took a deep breath as he walked to his chair and sat down. Everything Trask had said was true and he couldn't argue with it. "All right. Activate the sentinel project."

"thank you sir." Trask said as he was about to leave with Shaw following but he President was not finished talking.

"Bolivar, one more thing."

"Yes, sir?"

"I will allow you to do this but if something happens that makes me regret this course of action, I will have your head, is that clear?"

"Yes, Mr. President. I understand." Trask said as he and Sebastian Shaw left the room and once they were in the hall, Shaw asked, "Did you make the changes to the Sentinel program per our agreement?"

Trask nodded his head as he said, "Yes, Shaw. Everything is in order and very soon the mutant menace will be no more."
