Logan was furious, he left the Danger Room and saw her. His rage did not let him think straight, he grabbed her and slammed her tiny frame
against the wall of the corridor
-"What kind of sick game were you just playing with me?"- He demanded
-"Let me go"- Wanda was scared and trying to raise her hands in order to attack him
-"Did you find it funny?"- Logan could smell her fear
-"I was trying to help"- She shouted-"I told you I cannot control my powers"
-"Have you any idea of who she was? Of what she meant to me?"- Logan let go of arms and walked a few feet away from her trembling body.
He knew he had overreacted but still…
-"I only wanted to you to win, to do whatever you wanted to do in there soon, so you could go to rest. I simply altered the probabilities"- She
said –"I have no idea who she was, I did not create her image, I just increase your options to do whatever you really wanted to do, or at least
that is what I wanted to do"
Logan considered this for a moment, he had wanted to go back to that moment in time, to be able to face the same situation and find a different
option, one that would allow him to save Jean. The hex had actually worked.
-"Look, I am sorry about the dragging you to the wall and all that. I have been in there too long. Your power is truly amazing"- Logan said as an
apology.

Erik Lehnsherr, formerly known as Magneto the Master of Magnetism, was playing chess as usual in the same park in N.Y., sitting alone. But the
last weeks have brought a change in his features, he no longer seemed sad and defeated. There was a new spark lighting up his eyes, a certain
air of power surrounding him. When no one was looking he moved a metallic pawn without touching it. He smiled pleased at his exploit.
A young woman walked near the place were Erik was playing chess. She was tall and fit, with dark short hair and blue eyes, some men looked
at her with interest. One tried to grab her hand when she passed near them
-"Hey, beauty, it is your lucky day"- he said
-"Yes, I have just found a completely useless meat sack who will tell me all sort of lies just to get me into his bed. I am sorry babe, I think I will
pass this one out"- She grabbed his hand and turned it, hearing the bones of his wrist cracking-"Don´t you agree that will be the best for both of
us?"
The man started shouting, his friends helped him and looked at the woman, ready to make pay for what she has done. She winked at them
delighted. Erik turned his head and saw the show.
-"Who is next?"- The woman was having fun
-"Stop this"- Erik was at her side-"This is pointless"
-"That Bh broke his hand, he was just flirting"- One of the man shouted
-"The guy got what he deserved for not been able to realise that a lovely lady like this would never lower herself with someone like him"- Erik
smiled, he thought he would never be able to play this game again-"I advise you to leave right now"
-"What can you do to make us, Grandpa?"- The man was ready to strike him a punch
Erik did nothing but the belt on the man´s jeans started to wriggle and move like a snake, freeing itself from the tbelt loops and crawling up till it
reached his face, the metal buckle hit him on the face with full force.
-"He is a mutant!"- The others shouted and started to run away
-"I thought you have been cured"- The woman said looking at Erik for the first time
-"The same could be said about you"- Erik went back to his chess set-"how have you found me?"
-"I thought you would be happy to see me"- The woman sat in front of him
-"Have you come for revenge?"- Erik knew he deserved it, he had left her alone when she was more scared.
-"I have thought about it, yes, but as you know I am always looking at the big-picture. I hate them more than ever, the cure was an abomination,
changing what nature has considered right, better. I want them to pay for it."- Mystique continued
-"And you need me for that? Is that it?"- Erik moved another pawn with his powers-"I am afraid I was injected with four doses of cure, I have
not regained all my power yet"
-"This is the best part, Erik, the cure has a side-effect, your powers will increase once they are restored"- Mystique smiled-"I know for sure, I
read the files they kept in the prison infirmary, there have been many cases already to support the theory"
-"Interesting"-Erik was really interested in that-"But after Alcatraz I am afraid I have lost my desire to start a war, I made terrible mistakes"
-"I know, she almost killed everyone, but your only mistake was to get a power-crazed corpse for a job that I could have performed without
flaws."- Mystique changed her appearance and now she looked exactly as Callisto-"You let useless mutants help you, what were you
expecting?"
-"She was rather usefull, actually. But you are more beautiful"- Erik grinned
-"I am smarter"- She corrected him-"I have a present for you, I am sure that you will love it, but I need you to join us, to be our leader again"
-"Mystique, I am not sure I have explained myself clearly before"- Erik was getting tired of this conversation
-"I am sure you remember a woman called Magda?"- Mystique asked wickedly
-"What?"- Erik let the pawn in mid-air
(I know some characters have not too many lines so far, but hey, some have more than in X3 )
