Chapter 11: Brotherhood Introduction 2- Introduction to Todd and Wanda and a Hexing
Magneto's Office, Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House, Bayville, NY- May 17, 11:13 PM
As Lance and Kitty raced to find Professor Xavier, Erik was sitting in his room at the boarding house thinking about what to do to Lance when he got his hands on him. Erik had changed out of his business suit by this time and was in his uniform, his helmet sitting on the desk in front of him.
As he was thinking, the door to his room suddenly flew open and a slightly burnt Todd fell through the door, his shoulder-length dark-blond hair appearing to be slightly blackened, followed by an angry and irritated Wanda, her shoulder-length black hair with dark crimson streaks standing up behind her, signaling her powers were in use. Todd had this huge crush on Wanda, whom, shall we say, did not feel the same way.
"Father!" screamed Wanda as she came storming into the room, her blue eyes blazing in fury.
'Not this again,' thought Erik irritatingly as he watched Wanda storm in and sensed her temper rise, 'her temper is rising. If I do not find a way to calm her down soon, her psychic powers will be released. Xavier might be using Cerebro to try and find out if I am up to anything and might get information through Wanda's brain waves, as she knows of the details of my plans… at the moment.'
"Wanda, what's the matter now?" asked Erik in a tired voice as he put a hand to his forehead in exasperation and in an attempt to stop the headache that he could feel coming.
"Father!" screamed Wanda again as she picked up Todd by the collar of his black coat, which covered a dark green turtleneck, torn, faded jeans, and worn-out sneakers and tossed Todd at her father's feet, and prepared to launch another hex bolt at him. "I've been trying to avoid this filthy creature all day, but he keeps following me around. If you do not do something to stop this foolish obsession of his, then I will!" finished Wanda as she started to get angrier, and Erik could feel, not to mention see her psychic energy (which was dark blue) begin to crackle around her.
"Aw, come on, babycakes. You know that you can't resist me," pleaded Todd as he got on his knees before Wanda with hands folded, and with a kind of puppy-dog like look in his eyes. However, he soon found out after receiving another hex bolt from Wanda that they had no effect whatsoever on her.
"Very well," answered Erik as he stood up and moved to the front of the desk. "I shall see to it. In the meantime, go tell your brother and Raven to come here at once."
"Sure, whatever," replied Wanda as she lowered the hands she had had outstretched and stalked out of the room, her anger still detectable, her black jean jacket flowing out behind her. Wanda was wearing tight black jeans, a blood red tank top covered by said black jean jacket, and black boots, along with a silver charm bracelet, a gift from Rogue, Kitty, and Lexie for her 21st birthday, with four charms on it: a spellbook, (representing herself), a smaller version of the charm bracelet itself, (representing Kitty), a Celtic cross (representing Rogue), and a claw of a wolverine (representing Lexie). She also wears a black and red Celtic-cross necklace, with dark blue earrings to match her eye color.
'Now, then,' thought Erik as he moved out from behind his deck and proceeded to pick Todd up by the collar of his shirt.
"Toad," said Erik, "you will leave my daughter alone, or…" he paused as he attached a metal ring around Todd's neck, which he had silently brought out from one of his desk's metal drawers using his powers. Todd watched the proceedings with fear evident in his eyes, "I will use this metal ring that I am attaching around your neck to its full capabilities. Understand?"
"Yeah, yeah, I understand," agreed Todd in a voice filled with fear. Todd knew what Erik, or rather Magneto could do to someone with metal present on him/her, and knew better then to risk Erik's wrath.
"Good," said Erik as he threw Todd away from him. "Now, get out."
"Yes… yes, sir," replied Todd as he backed up slowly, and when the door was opened by Pietro and Raven, hopped out past them as quickly as he could and left them staring after him with amazement, as they had never seen Todd hop that fast before.
"What was that all about?" asked Pietro as he watched Todd hop away.
"Nothing that concerns you," replied Erik as he once more returned to his place behind his desk, but stood instead of sitting down. "Now, I fear Xavier is starting to get suspicious, so we will be moving out in a few minutes, and attack the Institute at 23:40 hours. Understand?"
"Yes, sir," replied Raven, and Pietro said, "Yes, father."
"Good. Now, let's move out," said Erik as he placed his hands on the desk and stared at his best fighter and his son.
