11 Years Ago

"Good evening America, I am Stacey Naukie and I am here at the White House with Secretary of Defense Robert Williams."

"Hello."

"Secretary Williams those of us at the Chanel12 station and around the world want to know why America is keeping the Sentinel Project to itself. In these times of instability and the Mutant Arms race we find the country would make a huge profit off of selling these massive mechanisms."

"We feel that the Sentinel Project, although effective, still has many kinks to work out before we can sell it on a global scale. Also other nations have started to develop their own such as France's soldat métallique and Russia's металлический солдаm."

"That is a very diplomatic answer Mr. Williams, but rumor has it that the mutants that Sentinels are capturing are being turned into slaves on a small island off the right hand side of Africa and that some are being turned into secret soldiers. Is that true?"

"No, America has no business enslaving its citizens."

"Well if your not enslaving them or recruiting them for the army what are you doing with them?"

"I'm afraid I can not disclose that information at this time."

"You do know that by not disclosing information that American's will begin to believe the rumors?"

"See here Ms. Naukie the Sentinels were designed with the protection of American citizens at mind."

"But cant one argue that mutants are also American citizens as well?"

"No mutants are a menace. Look what that Magneto fellow did and what he continues to do even now."

"Yes Magneto has killed many people, but on the paper I have here it says that the Sentinels have all together killed a wimping total of one thousand six hundred and fifty three innocent people without some sort of compensation from the government to their families while only catching seven hundred- forty three mutants over the Sentinel Project's six years of life."

"How did you get that information?"

"And that is all the time we have. Stacey Naukie and Chanel 12 signing out."

The television instantly blanked out leaving the static to fill the space.

"Logan," the Professor called his newest recruit, "Rewind back to the end of that presentation."

Logan reminded to the part where Stacey was signing off at.

"This is what I wanted to show you."

"The lady? She is pretty …"

"Yes, but what about the woman is different here."

"Umm I don't know."

"Rewind back about one second."

He did as told and after going back and forth a few times he noticed that her eye color changed.

"Her eyes?"

"Of course Logan. We need to look out for her. Her name is Mystique."

"A mutant?"

"Yes, she is. She used to be more active five years ago, but lately she has kept to herself. I wonder why?"

…xxxXXxxx…

Please review, and yes the character names aren't actually real people ;} Oh and I think CNN would had been more appropriate but hey I was watching that channel when I was typing so …
