4 - Once in my life

I waited in the cell for ten minutes until Pyro came to get me. By then the drug had worn off and I could have tried to escape. I didn't really know why, but I just knew that I didn't want another round of that drug again, so for once in my life I was doing what I was told.

Pyro stood outside of my cell with cocky like grin on his face. "What are you smiling about?" I asked him as I got to my feet.

"Nothing. Just had a though is all," He answered swiping a card into a panel near the door and the door swung open. I walked out and he led the way down the long metal lined hallway.

We walked in silence until we came to large study looking room with a big metal disk in the middle of the room with Magneto sitting behind it. He greeted us with a smile as we walked into the room. "Ah, Miss. Mac welcome to my study," He said getting up from his metal chair. "Thank you Pyro for getting Mac from her holding, you free do go."

Pyro gave a nod and walked out of the room leaving me alone with the very intimating Magneto. I stood still as he walked up to me. "I do hope that your feeling better now, are you not?" He asked me.

"Yes, I have all feeling back in my body again if that's what you mean?"

"That's good to hear my dear," He said leaning against his metal desk. "Would you like to take a seat?"

"No thanks, I just spent the last I don't know how many hours passed out on the floor of a cell. I think I'll stand," I answered as politely as I could.

He just shrugged his shoulders. "Have it your way," He said.

"How about we get down to why I am here?" I demanded.

"Fine. I have brought you here because you have no where else to go my dear," He answered.

"I am already know that song and dance," I folded my arms a crossed my chest. "How about you tell me why you knew those things about me?"

"That isn't so easy," He sighed. "I really don't know where to begin on that. So how about I start with how I knew about why you ran away. I read the paper about mother who's pace maker went to flux and they are suing the company ."

"So, how does….."

"You see your unique power is something I can feel. I felt a major discharge of magnetic energy awhile back and that wasn't made my any human power, but by a mutant power. I was able to look through the records about any phonemes in your neck of the woods and it came back to you. Molly McKenzie," He answered.
"I just knew I had to sought you out and take you in because a young woman with your talents needs a teacher. Someone who has the same power as your own to show you how find control of them."

"You would teach me?"

"Yes, I would be horned to teach you," Magneto smiled. "That is if you want to be apart of my brotherhood?"

I had to admit I was scared of what this guy wanted from me, but yet I wanted more than anything was to feel need, to belong to something, and more importantly I wanted control.

"I will be apart of your brotherhood Magneto," I answered.

A big smile slide a crossed his face and he extended his hand. I shook it . "Welcome to my brotherhood Molly."
