A new chap! Special thanks to my friend Robin! who offered to play a part in my story!! Youll see her in this chapter (and the next).

Magneto, the perfect gentleman, opened the door for Racheal and swooshed her inside. The building was lit brightly from florescent lights, it had a clinical feel and smell to it. Magneto walked to a security door and had no trouble ripping it from its hinges and discarding it to the side. He motioned for Racheal to go ahead of him.

They walked down the lit corridor a few paces. The unblinking eye of security cameras watching their every step. Finally, they reached a office room. The secretary did a quick double take as Racheal and Magneto entered her office.

The secretary got shakily on her feet, and backpedaled a few steps.

"Where are the files kept?" Magneto asked and the secretary pointed a uneven finger to the left door. "Bring her too," Magneto told Racheal. "We may need her."

Racheal walked behind the secretary and led her along.

"I don't know anything." she was saying. "Really, I just work here. My name is Robin, I'm just a secretary." Her brown eyes pleaded with Racheal.

"You're a human working for the MCC, you're not one of his favorite people. Just stay quiet and do what we say, and you may live through this." Racheal whispered to her.

Toad, Mystique, and Sabertooth came running at them from the opposite end of the hallway.

When Robin saw the others her feet started to give out from under her forcing Racheal to hold her up. "I cant hold you up, you're going to have to walk." Racheal struggled.

Sabertooth was sensing Robins fear of him. He sauntered over to her and gave her his most frightening glare.

"You're not helping." Racheal said, still trying to get Robin on her feet.

Magneto opened the door and led them inside. It was a medium sized room with filing cabinets lining one side and a computer hard drive on the other wall.

"Toad." said Magneto and motioned to the computer. Toad nodded and sat down at the computer and flipped in a disk and began to download all the files on the computer. Sabretooth began smashing over the file cabinets and spreading the large extensive files all over the floor.

"Wait a minute." Racheal said, watching Toad. "Why are you copying off their files onto disk?"

"This information will be invaluable to our cause, Racheal." Magneto answered, putting extra emphasis on the word 'our'.

"What do you mean?" she asked her eyes narrowing.

"I don't have time to walk you through this." Magneto waved her off with his hand. "We will use these files to find newly mutated mutants, so they can join The Brotherhood." Magneto checked Mortimer's progress by looking over his shoulder.

"And if they don't join?" She felt she already knew the answer.

"Those that are not with us are against us, surely, you must understand that." Magneto turned to look back at her.

"I understand that using those files makes us no better than them." she said quietly.

"I am not interested in ethics." Magnetos eyes weren't cold, they were determined. "I will lead us to a new tomorrow, Racheal, by any means necessary." He gave her a sad smile, as though he understood her aversion. "Now, we have work to do."

"Done, Magneto." Toad said popping the disk out of the console.

"Excellent." Magneto said and motioned at Sabretooth. The group left the room, but before they left the hallway Racheal saw the room go up in flames.

Back through the way that they had came in, they reached the front door of the MCC. Robin started pleading more when she saw the bodies of the dead guards outside on the pavement.

"You do all this?" Mortimer asked Racheal. His voice held a mixture of awe and humor.

"Well, they did open fire on us." She shrugged.

"Oh my god," Robin yelled looking at the guards. "That's Jim. You killed Jim? Jim has a family." Robin broke free and knelt at Jim's body. "You will burn in hell for what you did here tonight." Robin tossed her blonde hair back and scowled at Racheal. Racheal noticed Robin almost looked like the exact opposite of her. Robin was tall and blonde, with gorgeous brown eyes, enough to make any man whimper. Racheal was short, and very aware of how severe she must look with her black hair and mutated red eyes. She figured Robin was probably right, she probably would burn in hell.
Robin, the angel, the innocent secretary. Racheal, the demon, the crazed mutant that had killed approximately 20 men that very night. They formed a strange yin-yang standing there in the moonlight. Was Robin really so innocent? Was Racheal really so malevolent?

the next chapter will feature the Xmen...r/r
