"Maia?" I looked up from my book. "Would you help me?"

"Sure." Damn. I was just reading about the Council of Elrond. "What do you need, Professor?"

He beckoned me to follow him. "I need you to help me question our guest."

I smirked. "You want to do the good-cop / bad-cop thing or the smart-interrogator / creepy-assistant thing."

He looked at me and raised a single eyebrow. "Do what you are best at."


I walked into the room, whistling. "Hi!" I circled him once. He was the same man that had planned the destruction of my house. He was about 6 foot, buzzed hair, and scared to death. I was going to have fun with this. I grinned and snapped on my rubber gloves.

"W-w-what are you g-g-going to do?" he stuttered, panicked.

"Me?" I picked up a scalpel, testing the edge to see if it was sharp. "I'm just here to convince you that answering questions would be…" I turned, catching the light with the blade "beneficial to your health."

He swallowed audibly and then jumped as the doors hissed open. The professor rolled in. "Is everything ready?"

"The scalpels are all nice and sharp, if that's what you mean."

"Good. Now then…" He turned to our 'guest'. "We have a few questions for you. We want to know why the US government is trying to kill mutants."

"I-I'll never tell you." He seemed to make up his mind, sitting up straighter in his chair. "You mutant freaks need to be stopped. Torture me all you want, I will never tell you anything."

"Perhaps I can help, Professor." He nodded to me. I picked up a small glass vial, full of the same truth serum the Major had tried to use on me during interrogation. "And a little help comes…" I sang softly "… in a little glass vial…" I placed the vial into a gun-shaped injector "… in a gun" I slapped it on 'gun' to lock into place "…pressed against your anatomy." I pressed the gun against his neck.

He began to shake. "You... you can't use that. It causes cancer…."

"You are willing to use it on mutants, why can't we use it on you?" I pulled the trigger, injecting 250ml of slightly radioactive truth serum into the man's neck. He shuddered, then a sleepy smile crossed his face and his eyes seemed to un-focus.

"What is your name, sir?" the professor asked softly.

"Major… Sampson Smith…" he said slowly.

The professor nodded. "Well, Sampson, what is the government planning on doing to the underground mutant community?"

"We plan to… eradicate them…"

"How?"

"We have an… army… in the same place we… discovered their camp. We hope to… draw them out… and kill them…"

"When?"

"6 weeks… and we announce… the mandatory cure… we think… they will show up to… to stop us…"

Suddenly, the door banged open and Magneto walked in. "What did you find out?"

"They are planning on killing all of us. We have the location of their army. He just gave it to us."

"Then we know everything we need, don't we?" A spike appeared out of the back of the man's chair, straight through him. Magneto smirked as the man coughed, spitting blood.

"What the hell?" I ran over, but he was already dead. "What is this, Reservoir Dogs? What are we supposed to do now?"

Magneto turned. "We start preparing."

"For what?"

He walked from the room. "War."


None of you have any ideas? You all suck... is what i would say if I was planning to name them based on your sugestions..pfch...
