CHAPTER 2. MY WIFE AND KIDS
Erik wanted to fight when the Vietnam war broke out, but his father passed away, so he stayed to help his mother. Ruth had gone to Israel to help form the growing Nation. She asked Erik to come but he decided to stay in Switzerland with his mother. Erik works at the bank as a manager. Erik is hard at work when he hears the voice of his boss. "And this is Erik Lensherr…Erik this is Miss Magda Vanhouse…my new secretary…"
When Erik looks up he smiles at the beautiful young woman. "It is nice to meet you Miss Vanhouse…" As the day passes Erick can't stop looking at the young woman. When it is closing time Erik walks out and sees her heading towards her car. He magnetizes the car so that it cannot start.
"Dam!"
"May I?"
"Erik you startled me!"
"I'm so sorry…Can I help?"
"Sure…"
Erik has her pop the hood and he pretends to work on it. With a magnetic push the car starts. Thanks a lot…I don't know how I can repay you…"
"How about coffee…"
"Alright coffee it is…"
Erik looks up and spots Azazel, "I'm afraid I will have to take a rain check my dear…Perhaps tomorrow…"
"Tomorrow then…" She drives off.
Erik walks up to Azazel, "What did you find?"
"William Stryker works for an organization funded by the US and Canadian government…They are experimenting on people like us…or mutants as they call us…"
"Contact Ruth we are going to shut this down…"
The next day Erik and Magda, go to a small coffee shop after work, and talk for hours. The two have a lot in common. When Erik gets home Azazel and Ruth are waiting for him with another mutant. "Whose this?"
"Call me Mystique…"
"Strange name…" Erik replies.
The young woman changes physically into Erik, "I am a mutant…Raven Darkholme is dead…Her family tried to kill her because she woke up looking like this…" She changes again only this time her skin is blue and she is completely naked. "I am a mutant and I proud of that…What about you…"
Erik nods, "I like her…"
"There are two departments…Department W of the US and Department H of Canada…They both have separate operations but come together and form HIVE…Mutants are being held in an old missile silo in California…"
The plan was that they kidnap a high ranking member of Department M and for Mystique to replace him. Her job is to get the names of the mutants being held and then plant a virus into the computer system. Azazel and Ruth would destroy the hard files and then Magneto would unleash an EMP. The plan was a success and the mutants freed. They are taken to an abandoned warehouse and given new identities and passports. They had rescued over a hundred mutants of different ages.
WILLIAM STRYKER
A car drives up after the attack and William Stryker gets out of the car. "What the hell happened?"
"We were attacked by mutants…They destroyed our computer files and the hard files…" Another car arrives, "And who are you suppose to be…"
"Sebastian Shaw…I represent the Essex Corporation…Doctor Essex thought I could be of use…"
"I don't…"
Shaw interrupts him, "Tell me Captain was the base magnetized?"
"Yes an EMP was unleashed…"
"I have seen this before…" He looks at Stryker, "So have you…Norway D-Day…his name is Erik Lensherr and he is a powerful mutant capable of controlling metal and creating magnetic fields…"
"I remember that son of bitch…He escaped with two other mutants…"
"My friends will find him and then you Major can bring him in…"
Four days after Erik returned home his mother passes away. Magda is there to comfort him they fall in love and marry six months later. Before they marry Erik reveals his powers to her. A year later Magda gives birth to twins a boy and a girl. They name them Pietro and Wanda.
