A/N: Ok. It has been two months since last chapter…in the story…sorry about the wait for it…but seriously, it has been two months since Erik and Ororo slept together for the first time. I promise this is the last time it will time jump like that…there will be flash backs, but otherwise, it will run steadily. Also, welcome to the real story…sorry about all of the background…here is the plot. Also, for my purposes, 'Principal' Kelly is the mayor…since in the movies/comics, he was more of a political figure. Which they tried to put into the show, but didn't spend much time on. Anyway…here you go. Sorry again. Hope you don't punish me and still review.

Erik stirred the sauce on the stove, gazing occasionally at the door. He had already drained the noodles and they were sitting on the table ready to be eaten. Spaghetti was the only thing he knew how to cook. Actually, it was the only thing he knew how to cook without setting the entire suite on fire.

Ever since Ororo had come to him two months ago, they had stopped going to the park and began meeting at his place. In the beginning he would order in, but about a week or so ago, she started cooking. While he was a threat to food in general when in front of a stove, Ororo had a true talent. He loved watching her cook. She could take, what seemed like to him, random vegetables and turn them into something edible.

No matter how much he protested, she had insisted that he cook tonight. So here he was, slaving over tomato sauce, praying it did not taste horrible. He glanced towards the door again and then back at his watch. Ororo was usually prompt, but since she did live with very unpredictable teenagers, it was not surprising she was late.

About the time he pulled the sauce off the burner, there was a knock at the door. Erik wiped his hands on the towel and went to open the door. However, when he pulled it open, it was not the beautiful weather witch he was expecting. Instead, four police officers flanked by a SWAT team stood in the hallway. Magneto could not help but smirk. Most of them looked completely terrified of taking down a mutant as powerful as him.

"May I help you officers?"

"Mr. Lensherr, you are under arrest." The officer in charge was an older man with barely any hair on his head and he seemed to be the only one not afraid of Magneto. The one standing next to the officer who had just spoken held a pair of handcuffs in his hands and looked highly uncomfortable, but seemed determined to do his job. The other two, a young male and female, looked like they were about to run for the door. Of course, the SWAT team was unreadable under all of their gear and guns. Which happened to be pointed right at him.

"May I ask under what terms?" Erik really did not want to fight them, but this was a little ridiculous. He could not remember anything he had done that was against the law in the last few months.

"For the murder of Mayor Edward Kelly." Magneto stared at them with a look of complete disbelief. The brutal murder of the newly instated mayor had been all of the news for weeks and he knew the police believed a mutant had pulled the trigger, but this was ridiculous.

"A man with an anti-mutant policy is murdered and I am your first suspect? Isn't that a bit stereotyping?" The balding officer nodded to the brown haired one with the handcuffs.

"Sir, you have the right to remain silent. Anything-"

"I know the drill," grumbled Erik. Might as well go quietly. Even if he and Charles Xavier were not on the best speaking terms, there was no way the old man was going to let him go to prison for a murder he did not commit. Magneto held out his wrists. On the bright side, the cuffs are metal; as is the prison. It is not like they could hold him for very long.

As the brown haired lieutenant stepped forward and started to latch the cuffs, Erik looked at the younger officers, expecting to see the fear he usually instilled in people. Instead, their demeanor had changed completely. They wore a smug look on their faces and when the lieutenant snapped the cuffs, he knew why. Erik gasped as his powers were drained from him. The shock of losing what he considered his life force knocked Magneto to his knees, leaving him breathless and weak.

"Glad to see those worked," said the original officer, sneering down at him. "We spent a lot of money to have those made. They block your mutation. How does it feel to be human, mutie?"

Ororo sighed as she turned on the car. She could have sworn she had filled it up the last time she had gone to see Erik, and usually, she was the only one to drive it. It did not surprise her that one of the kids had used it without permission. And it would not be that out of her way to stop and fill up the tank on the way to dinner.

There was only one car at the gas station when she pulled up. Storm quickly swiped the credit card and began filling up. A dark Sedan pulled up and parked next to the other black Chevy. Neither car had license plates and Ororo began to feel uneasy. The windows were tinted so she could not get a good look at who was inside. Just as she was about to pull the nozzle out and leave, a man exited the passenger side of the first car. He nodded to her and went inside the store. The driver of the second vehicle then got out and walked toward her. Storm opened her door and stuck the keys in the ignition.

"Excuse me, ma'am?" The man had on a baseball cap and a clean white shirt with jeans. His boots barely made a sound on the concrete as he approached the car. "I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction?"

"Where are you headed?" she asked, stepping back out of the car, letting it idle. That was her first mistake. The second was not noticing the second man exit the car as she turned to point off in the distance. The third was not hearing the shot as the tranquilizer hit her in the back of the neck.
