I'm sorry but I can't do accents. Enjoy, read, and review. Special thanks to my reviewers.
Mutant Evolution
Chapter 6
-New Orleans 8:57 p.m.-
Remy Lebeau was sneaking out of a mansion with what looked liked jewels and money.
"That was just too easy for Remy." he said talking in third person.
What he didn't notice was two men stalking above him on the roofs.
"Sabertooth, it's time." Magneto said as Gambit snuck into an empty house, attempting his next steal.
Gambit slowly looked around the house to take in his surroundings. As he started to advance, all the metal seemed to hum in a supernatural way. The odd hum died down, and standing in front of Remy were two men.
One of them was floating in mid air, wearing red and purple full body armor, and he seemed to have yellow eyes glowing on the black shadow, that was his face. The other guy looked like Bigfoot, tall, shaggy hair, and he smelled really, really, bad.
"Mr. Lebeau, we have an offer for you."
"What kind of offer you have for Remy?"
"How would you like to work for me?"
"What's in it for Remy?" he asked.
"A new life, a fresh start. Using your powers for useful purposes. There are others like you, Remy." Magneto explained.
Gambit considered it, these strange guys just float up to him and start making offers. He didn't know what they were about, but if all else fails, he could sneak out, fall of the radar.
"Remy accepts." said Gambit.
"Excellent" Magneto said.
-Xavier Institute 8:07 p.m.-
After Lex and his brothers left, the Brotherhood were starting to come too. Pietro was still out because he had a mild concussion. No one knew Lex hit him that hard and surely someone would mention it when he moved in.
Todd was alright, he had taken the least amount of damage. Lance and Fred were still woozy from Rogue's touch. When their vision cleared, the Brotherhood noticed they were in a white room with tiles everywhere.
Last thing they remembered, the X-men and some kids they've never seen before were kicking their butts. Lance saw two blurred figures, that looked like Professor Xavier and Kitty. He realized where he was, X-geek manor.
"What are doing here?" Lance spat the last word as if being here was like being held captive in a prison.
"Since you stupidly chose to expose us, we had no choice by to restrain you from hurting the normal humans. And you are here because Mystique left you with us." explained Professor Xavier.
"S-she just left us?" Blob asked with a wounded puppy look on his face.
"Yes, I'm afraid so, though she suggested we sent you back after you regain consciousness." said the Prof.
"Well, if she doesn't want us, we don't need her." Lance said, trying to cover the hurt expression on his face.
"You are welcome to stay here if you like." Professor Xavier offered.
"We'll think about it." Lance said.
"Alright then." he said, wheeling himself out of the infirmary.
"Lance, I need to talk to you alone." Kitty said, walking out of the infirmary with Lance.
"What's this about, Kitty?" asked Lance.
"Us."
"What do you mean, us?"
"I mean that since Asteroid M, we've been like, totally distant. Like, I know we have had a budding relationship, but I'm not, like interested in you anymore." said Kitty.
"Ok, fine." Lance shrugged. To tell the truth, Kitty was right. He still found her attractive, but the chances of an actual relationship were long gone.
"Are you okay with this?"
"Of course. You're right, we have drifted apart. I'm okay with it."
"So, are you going to join us?"
"I don't know, but it sure beats living at the Brotherhood house. Like I said, we'll consider it."
"Okay." she said leaving.
On the upper levels of the mansion everybody was having mixed feelings about the Brotherhood being here. These feelings were acceptable considering it's their fault that people knew about mutants.
Scott saw Professor Xavier roll out of the elevator and offered his assistance.
"Let me, Professor." Scott said, positioning himself behind the wheelchair.
"Thank you, Scott."
"So, did the Brotherhood try anything?" Scott asked, worried.
"No, in fact after they found out Mystique left them, I offered them a spot here."
"What! Professor, what if this is apart of some kind of plan to spy on us?" asked Scott.
Unfortunately, Scott's tone of voice attracted everyone in earshot. Who just happened to be Wolverine, Evan, and Kurt. They started group grumbling about how it was a bad idea.
Evan and Kurt were set on their rivalries with Pietro and Todd. Wolverine was just mad about the whole thing in general. Scott kept asking why he'd offer them a spot after all they've done to us. Xavier on the other hand was getting annoyed at their constant complaints.
"Alright, that's enough! All of you, I've made my decision. If the Brotherhood accepts they are welcomed to stay here, no strings attached. You are not to persuade them to leave under any circumstances. And Scott, I read their minds there's no plan to spy on us. Everyone resume you normal activities." explained the Professor.
There were mumbled complaints, but none the less they went on with their usual night activities. The only one that stayed was Scott, who was pushing Professor X towards his study,
-Elsewhere in the Mansion 8:41 p.m.-
Kitty was in her room doing homework with Rogue when her phone rang. She looked at the caller id. She saw Lex's name and picked it up.
"Hello."
"Hey Kitty."
"How did you like, get my number?"
"I have ways." he said mysteriously.
"Okay…so what's up?"
"Do you like Lance?"
"Well, I used to, but I just broke up with him after you left."
Lex felt relieved and he put most of his suspicions at bay. He was also a little embarrassed and guilty.
"And he was okay with it, right?"
"Yes he was."
"Okay. I was thinking, since mutants are no longer a secret, we could move our date to the mansion."
"Um, okay."
"Oh, and before I forget, you should really watch the news. They're talking about us. See you tomorrow, bye." and with that, he hung up.
"What was that about?" Rogue asked from across the room.
"Nothing, just Lex."
"Oh."
"He said we were on the news."
"Really, we should check it out." said Rogue.
They left the room, only to bump into Kurt. Kitty told him about the news and he rounded up all the X-people. Bobby turned on the news, only to see a juxtaposed image of their fight, with a reporter in front of Bayville High talking about mutants. Behind her was several people holding up signs saying "Go Home Muties" or "Bayville Doesn't Want Freaks".
"We've determined that the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters is actually a school harboring mutants. Bayville is not the only place littered with mutants. The whole world contains mutants. Already anti mutant sentiments are arising behind me. The higher ups are training the military to deal with this mutant threat."
Everyone sat there speechless, except Professor Xavier who said, "We need to tighten up security. Somebody call Forge."
-Magneto's Base 9:49 p.m.-
Magneto didn't know about the big revelation. His base had a TV, but he was too bust recruiting to notice. While Gambit was settling in, Magneto went to his office with Sabertooth.
"Who's the next Acolyte, boss?" asked Sabertooth.
"Piotr Rasputin. We'll get to him in a couple of days. I still need Mystique's report on Charles' new pupils."
Hope you Enjoyed. Please Review.
