Warren listened and made sure that nobody was near his room, then he opened the windows, the night air felt good in his face, he extended his
wings. He was a vision of incredible beauty, strong and delicate at the same time. Warren was not sure that this was a good idea but he had to
give his father a last chance to explain himself. He owed him that.
Kurt appeared next to Hank McCoy, it was funny the fact that their skins and fur, in the case of Hank, were of different shades of blue, Kurt was
darker, as the night sky. Wagner was smirking.
-"What are you smiling for?"- Hank was in the brink of despair
-"Nothing, herr Summers was having a good time until Ororo entered in the room. Her face was priceless"- Kurt explained
-"Nice to know some people are not wasting their time worrying about a possible genocide"- Hanks said
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Storm walked into the kitchen and saw Rogue and Bobby eating ice-cream.
-"You two should be in bed"- She said
-"We are not kids anymore"- Bobby replied
-"Besides I am as worried as you are"- Rogue added, she was going to say something more but from the distance came a certain sound, the
roaring of an engine, a sound Rogue knew and had been expecting for a while-"He is back!"
Storm, Rogue and Bobby ran to the window and there he was, the lone wolf driving Scott´s bike as fast as he could. The three exchange a look
and ran towards the door to greet him.
Xavier and Hank heard the sound of the bike as well. Kurt watch how the bike was getting closer to the mansion side entrance.
-" Logan is back, and in one piece"- He announced
Xavier decide to use the psi-link he had created years ago with Wolverine and greet him but his face´s expression showed Hank that something
was right
-"What now?"- McCoy was really tired
-"That is not Logan, I cannot reach him"- Xavier explained getting on his feet
-"Mystique? Is she not going to give up ever?"- Hank followed Xavier-"This is getting old quickly"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Storm heard Xavier´s warning and stopped Rogue before she reached out to hug Logan.
-"What is going on?"- Rogue asked
-"That is not Logan"- Storm explained
-"Let me greet the newcomer"- Piotr walked a step closer to the bike
The fake Logan send Piotr a kiss and started changing. Mystique seemed pleased with herself
-"Here we are all together again, old friends"- A voice they all knew sounded clear nd strong. Magneto was walking surrounded by his
henchmen. Pyro had some flames dancing on the palm of his right hand, ready to strike if necessary. Juggernaut was too happy to be almost in a
battle again, he was carrying Logan unconscious body on one of his shoulders. Only Madrox and Pietro seemed to be asking themselves what
were they doing there.
-"You can never give it a rest?"- Yelled Kitty
-"Young lady, you are too young and foolish to understand that all I want to do is protect our kind"- Magneto stopped in the grounds, sure of
what he was going to do.
Scott came running, his visor on. Hank, the Professor and Kurt were on his heels.
-"I am here for a simple reason, there is no need to make this any more complicated"- Magneto said
-"Dealing with you has never been easy, old friend"- said the Professor
Magneto recognised the voice but it couldn´t be, He scanned the area, there was no trace of Charles. Although there was a man he had never
seen before. He couldn´t be….
-"Charles?"- Magneto was almost happy that his friend might have escaped death-"Is that really you?"
-"My place is with my students, you know me"- Xavier answered
-"Charles you have not been playing by the rules lately, you are keeping something of mine in this school of yours"- Magneto decided to give it a
try-"She belongs to me"
-"She is a person, not a thing"- Scott shouted
-"She aready has an admirer, she is certainly something"-Magneto found all this rather amusing
Pietro stared at the man who had defended his sister. Who was this guy with strange glasses? Why was he interested in Wanda? Pietro decided
to keep an eye on him just in case.
-"What have you done with Logan?"- Rogue cried out looking how her friend was hanging from Juggernaut´s shoulder
-"He is fine, my dear, do not worry. But I cannot promise that he will stay that way if you keep denying me what is mine"- Magneto said
menacingly.
-"How dare you?"- Storm´s eyes went white with anger-"You come here after all the chaos you created and you tell us what we have to
do….how dare you?"
-"It was your dear Jeannie who created chaos, Have you forgotten? Anyway, I am not here to walk down memory lane with you, I want her,
Charles. I am her father, she is mine"- Magneto was running out of patience
-"What?"- Pietro shouted
-"You have not told him?"- Xavier asked
-"And I bet you haven´t told her as well, my poor kids know nothing of who they are"- Magneto smirked
-"Liar!"- Pietro started running toward the man who has just claimed to be his father with all the hatred he could muster
Magneto used his powers to stop Pietro. After all his son was wearing a pair of jean with a pair of chain were hanging from his back pocket. The
chains tied down his feet, making fall on his face. Pietro struggle to repel his father´s control with no success at all. Pyro found it quite funny.
Magneto seemed disgusted.
-"Let him go!"- Wanda had been hidding next to the entrance. She had been shocked when that man had said he was her father but seeing Pietro
falling to the ground was more than she could stand.-"Let him go!"
-"Here she is"- Magneto could not tear his eyes from her. It was like having Magda again after all those years.-"Come with me"
Magneto extended his hand hoping she would accept it, but she refused it with her head and moved next to Scott, who looked at her and placed
a protective arm around her waist.
-"Let my brother go"- Se repeated not moving one step forward
-"Fine, if that is how you want to play, let´s play"- Magneto was furious, he signaled Juggernaut to bring the body of Logan and placed it in front
of the master of magnetism-"I have always been interested in this one, Charles, you know it, his skeleton is a work of art, the type of art I like
most, because I can do whatever I want with it"
Ororo was brewing a lighting storm over their heads, Pyro was ready to strike her, Bobby iced-up and signaled his old friend to stay where he
was.
Logan´s body started to float in the air, Wolverine shook his head and felt the pain. Magneto was toying with him again. The pain was getting
stronger
-"Erik, stop it"- Xavier was starting to imagine what Magneto intended to do
-"He is bleeding!"-Rogue shouted-"someone do something"
Cyclops aimed at Magneto prepared to fire an optic blast but he was surrounded by a dozen Jamies who tackle him down, while another Jamie
tried to grab Wanda and force her to move.
-"Leave her alone"- Piotr tried to help her, he knew better than trying to attack Magneto while he was metalled up.
Pyro fires at Storm, breaking her concentration, the flames were almost on her, Kitty embraced her former teacher saving her from getting
burned. Storm responded with a ligthing that hit John, the boy smiled while flames surrounded him.
-"Bobby, he is burning up"- Kitty shouted to her friend
Bobby watched how Pyro was still moving, the flames were not hurting him, on the contrary, he seemed to be better than ever. The fight have
just started.
Then, Juggernaut saw Kitty and he could stop himself from grinning. He was going to show that little missy who was the Juggernaut. He started
running towards her. Kitty saw him and got ready to let him run through her, thinking at the same time that this man was just to dumb to
remember her power. Juggernaut was still running but before he could try his luck with Kitty a huge metal form stopped him on his tracks.
-"Why don´t you try with someone your same size"- Colossus said
Juggernaut liked the challenge, it seemed it could be fun, and after he had finished with the girl´s lover Juggernaut would enjoy killing her even
more.
Once Jamie´s duplicates were free of Colossus they tried to grab Wanda again while some were still fighting with Scott.
-"No way, my friends"- Beast roared and jump in the middle of the Madrox army.
Kurt decided that he could appear next to Logan and take him away from Magneto, to some safe place, but Mystique was faster and kicked him
in the head from behind before he could notice that she was at his back. Mystique smiled pleased.
Logan body was twitching violently, his skin was covered with injuries that were bleeding. The pain was more than he could endure, Logan
remember the last time he had so much pain, he had to concentrate on happy memories, just like he did then. His memory went back to the same
moment that he had used to survive the pain from the fury of Phoenix. His best memories were Jean-related, he remembered her smile as he
walked next to her in the forest, she had been tinkering with the blackbird and he wanted to know if she was fine. She was so breathtakingly
beautiful, his heart ached wishing he could kiss her. The pain was numbing him, he continued thinking of her, she was the only thing that could
save him, could make all the pain go away.
-"I am trying to find out if his healing power can help him if I extract the adamantium from his body, what do you think, Charles?"- Magneto
asked
-"I´ll go with you, stop all this nonsense"- Wanda walked to him, Jamie released her.
-"No!"- Scott was still fighting with two copies of Madrox
-"If you are my father I will go with you, but I am not your property"- She said-"Let Logan go, and free my brother right now"
Scott could see that Wanda was raising her arms, Rogue kneeled next to Logan´s body in the grass
-"He is dying"- She said-"The pain has been too much"
-"Minor damage for a mutant with his power"- Magneto was not worried
Wanda concentrate her energy on Logan, she wanted him to survive, to stop the pain, she wished she could give him whatever he needed to get
rid of the pain.
-"He will survive, Rogue"- Xavier told the young woman who was crying.-"Wanda, you do not have to go with him if you don´t want to"
-"We can protect you"- Scott added frantic
The sky roared, more engines were approaching, the dark angels had found their target.
