World of the Brotherhood
Chapter 8
Dinner Awry
Magneto could not believe this, he sat at a mutant friendly resturaunt with his team and a former one as well. He was trying to figure out who was paying for this, because he sure wasn't as lobster arrived at the table for him, this caused him to blink, he hadn't ordered this. True, he wanted it, but the waitress hadn't even come over yet.
"Thank you." said Zodiac as food was just sat down in front of them, "Put it on my tab."
"You have a tab at a restraunt. . . you must eat alot." said Avalanche, as took a role.
"Or I know the owner." said Zodiac, a little insulted.
"So how have you been?" asked Mystique, looking at Avalanche.
"Well I'm still married. . . where in a bit of a fight however." said Avalanche calmly.
"When are you not." snorted Mortimer.
"Very funny, TTK." said Avalanche.
"TTK?" asked Sabertooth, then thought a moment, "He's back to Toad."
"Really, I liked Terrible Toad King better." said Avalanche.
"He got over that phase." said Mystique.
"He had a phase. . . a name phase?" asked Pyro.
"Yeah, let's see it was Toad, then TTK, the Super Toad, now Toad again." said Avalanche.
"I don't remember Super Toad, but there where some other ones involved." said Mortimer.
"Well you changed it six times I know that." said Avalanche.
"So Avalanche is it, how long have you known Mortimer.
"LONG time, but havn't talked in years. You can call me Dominic darling." said Dominic. "So what did you order us to drink."
"Wine, and some soda." said Zodiac. "I'll go grab us some from the bar, rather then waiting."
"So where'd you find her?" asked Avalanche watching her go. "Isn't she that missing reporter.
"She's not missing, as you can see, she's just chosen to join us." said Magneto.
"Why would a wealthy, well known reporter join you guys, especially if she was hiding her mutant powers, I take it. After all, your a pretty well known terrorist group." said Dominic.
"She just chose too." said Magneto.
"Is she aiming for a story?" asked Dominic.
"I don't think so." said Mystique.
"If she is, we'd know. There are ways Dominic." said Magneto.
"She's a telepath, isn't she?" asked Dominic, "A modest one."
"Yes." said Magneto.
"Is there something, your not telling us?" asked Pyro.
"Nothing at all Pyro." said Magneto, changing the subject, Mystique watched him closely.
"Sorry it took so long." said Zodiac, coming back with quite a few bottles. "Ran into some friends."
"Mutant?" asked Magneto.
"Yeah." said Zodiac, sitting down again.
"Why don't you introduce us to them." said Magneto.
"If you want." said Zodiac, walking off.
"Are you slowly trying to gain more members, without telling us." said Mystique angrily.
"No, I wouldn't dream of it dear. . . Im making sure she's not lying to us." said Magneto.
"Avalanche, you start things every time your in town." said Sabertooth.
"What else is there to do?" asked Dominic.
"This is my friend Al, you can call her Nature. She owns the place." said Zodiac coming back with a slightly shorter women.
She had an athletic style body, a few inches shorter than Zodiac, with a stern yet charming disposition. Her eyes where a brown color and she had alot of wild wavy dark auburn hair that was tied up into a long pony tail. She wore a black leather halter top, red lipstick, and a pair of black ripped jeans with metal black and silver boots, a black mutant tattoo on her shoulder, and her ears slightly pointed, matching tiny fangs.
"Nature? With that name I presume an earth mutant?" asked Mystique.
"Yeah, I can control the elements." she said, her voice smooth and yet a slight raspy sound.
"Why don't you let her sit down." said Sabertooth, looking at the women before him.
"Do you want to?" asked Zodiac, with one of her little charming smiles.
"Why not." said Nature, sitting down, calmly.
"So tell me, my dear, what's your side on mutant rights?" asked Magneto.
"Erik." said Mystique calmly.
"I didn't know there was a side other than us getting them, its just safer if they choose that path." said Nature.
"My dear, have you any other friends who feel this way?" asked Magneto, turning to Mystique.
