Thanks for the reviews! I am sorry for the thread mistake, it was really Threat.

10.

Pietro did not like the place, it was a horrible building and after all it was a prison for mutants, people like him that were simply not understood.

He hated the place but he needed to recover his sister, he had always taken care of her, she was so delicate and frail. If those animals have done

any harm to her they will pay it. His anger was fueling him, he was ready to run for it, he hoped Wanda was ready too.

Mystique was having fun, some of the guards have realized what was going on, and a dozen armed men were shouting her orders.

-"Lie down, do not move, do not dare to move"- They shouted

Mystique grinned and send one of the guards a kiss. She felt so sure of herself that she was sure bullets would not hurt her at all.

-"I need my lighter"- Pyro was almost useless without a source of fire.

-"Always complaining"-said of the duplicates of Jamie-"You should be enjoying the fact that we are out of those cages."

-"Do something usefull, release Juggernaut"- Mystique ordered John-"I will talk with these gentlemen"

One of the guards pull the trigger anxious and scared. The shot was aimed towards Mystique, she was still talking to John and was not aware of

what was going on till it was too late. But suddenly the bullet was held mid-air by a gloved hand, the hand of a young man she had never seen

before.

-"Who are you?"- She demanded

-"Thanks is usually better"- Pietro gave her an angry look.-"Where is my sister? she was a prisoner here"

-"All the cells are opened, some have already escaped"- Pyro answered, he was opening Juggernaut door-"He is the last one"

-"Saving the best for last?" The Juggernaut was free, he aimed to the guards-"if you excuse me, I would love to say hi to the welcome

committee"

He ran towards the guards, he was like a runaway train. Pietro watched him impressed

-"She was here"- Pietro told Mystique, assuming that she was the leader-"Those humans held her here"

-"There were no ladies here"- Jamie said-"I would have noticed"

-"There was a woman"- Mystique remembered-"The x-men took her away"

-"X-men?"- Pietro´s anger was rising again

-"You will need our help to recover her, you should join us" - Mystique saw a possible new recruit for the Brotherhood, she only needed to find

Magneto. She had to finish some business with him, but even after all he did, she had to admit he was the best leader they could get. That man

had changed her life and she wanted to see him defeating homo sapiens.

-"I work alone, smurf"- Pietro was ready to start running again, but he needed answers-"How can I find these x-men? Tell me now and I won´t

hurt you"

-"I doubt you can hurt me much" - Mystique was not scared of him in the least-"I am serious, the X-men are more than you can chew on your

own. Let us help you"

-"Why?"-Pietro could only trust Wanda-"Why do you want to help me?"

-"For starters you have saved my life, but most importantly I hate their guts, I want revenge and I need your help to find our leader"- Mystique

said –"I think you are a fast learner and we could scratch each others back"

-"I would love to do that"- Juggernaut winked at her, he wasreturning from his encounter with the guards

-"In your dreams"- Mystique knew Magneto would love this team, specially the new member, the fury in the eyes of the young man was

inspiring, in fact, he reminded her of Magneto in many little details.

Wanda could not sleep, she was too worried about her brother. Where was Pietro? How come he had not found her so far? Usually he tracked

her in less than a second. She got out of her bed and searched the hallway. She walked to Logan´s room, knocked at the door and finally

opened it. There was no one in there. Wanda continued walking through the mansion. She liked the place, McCoy had said that this was a

school, it was much nicer that the one where she studied. This looked posh, hers was a smelly public high school where the worst thing that one

could do was being different. She always tried to hide her abilities to the rest of the world but Pietro was so proud of being a mutant that he had

to show off every change he got.

Wanda took the lift and ended up in front of a long white corridor with several round doors on both sides. She walked in one of the rooms and

saw a young man sleeping. His body was connected to a machine that was checking his vitals. Wanda left the room and continued walking until

she heard him. Logan was fighting what looked like a huge 4-D videogame. He seemed exhausted but he kept on fighting as a madman.

-"You are hurting"-Wanda whispered, she wanted to help him, he had been nice to her, he seemed to be a noble man, a knight in shinning

armour. She raised her hands, extended her fingers and tried to concentrate on the hex, hoping that this time it would work.

Logan felt an ache of his left arm, he had been in the danger room for hours, he knew he should call it a day and head back to get some sleep,

and maybe a shower. He had won the simulation three times already. Each night he lived it again, planning new strategies, thinking on new ways

of saving the day and the lady…Maybe Storm was right and all this exercise was nothing but a sick desire to go back in time and do things in a

different way, to be able to find a way of changing the past and saving Jean.

Just as he was thinking on her he felt a presence behind him, someone unexpected. He knew the simulation by heart and there was no one

coming through that path. He turned around to face the small rise in the ground, only that this time there was someone standing there, a woman,

the most beautiful and scary woman he has ever seen. The Phoenix.

-"Jean?"- Logan asked not daring to believe what his eyes were seeing.

The Phoenix looked at him with eyes void of affection, she was ready to strike again, then Logan realized that he could not smell her, she was not

real, she was part of the simulation, but that was impossible, he had supervised the program and she had not been included. He walked to her,

she was trying to kill him just like on Alcatraz, he touched her face, cold and lifeless. He kissed her fake lips and extended his claws to end the

game.

-"End of simulation"- He shouted as Jean´s body fall limp to his arms. As the scenery started to disappear he looked at her one last time and then

he closed his hands around thin air, there was nothing there to hold.
