Ch.4
On the Road Again
The patrol cars and the semi were still driving down the road, when the first cop spotted someone up ahead. It was Magneto.
Magneto lifted his hand, and the two cars in front of the semi were crushed and thrown to the side. Then, Magneto threw the ones in the back off the road. The cargo hold in the back was lifted and up, and then it clattered to the ground.
The first guard inside the cargo hit a wall and was knocked out from the force.
Magneto lifted the driving part of the semi over his head and it landed on the ground behind him, head first. The cargo hold screeched to a stop in front of him.
Dixon was sent flying, and he slammed into Mystique's cell. He sat up, Mystique's feet coming through the bars, and the woman snapped his neck with ease. Dixon clattered the floor, dead.
"Told you so." Mystique said, and grabbed the keys with her feet, unlocking herself.
Magneto walked to the back of the truck, and met up with Pyro, Callisto, Quills, and Arclight. They walked in, just as Mystique walked out of her cell.
"About time." She said.
"I've been busy. Did you find what you were looking for?" Magneto asked.
Mystique stopped right next to him. "The source of the Cure is a mutant, a child at Worthington Labs. Without him, they have nothing."
Magneto smiled, and the clipboard the first guard had, flew into Pyro's hands. "Read off the guest list."
Magneto, Mystique, and Pyro walked to the first cell.
"Cell 41205. James Madrox." Pyro read.
"This one robbed seven banks." Mystique said, and Magneto opened the door. Seven Madrox's came out.
"At the same time." Mystique said.
"I could use a man of your talents." Magneto said. All the Madrox's morphed back into one.
"I'm in." He said, shrugging.
"Welcome to the Brotherhood." Magneto said, and they walked to the next cell, Madrox checking out Mystique's butt.
"Careful with this one." Mystique warned sarcastically, and Pyro turned to the sheet for the cell. "Cain Marko. Solitary confinement. Oh, check this out, 'Prisoner must be confined at all times. If he builds any momentum, no object can stop him.'"
Magneto smiled. "Fascinating."
The door to Marko's cell was thrown open.
"What do they call you?" Magneto asked.
"Juggernaut." Marko answered with a British accent.
"I can't imagine why." Magneto commented.
"You gonna let me out of here? I need to pee."
Magneto took the restraints off, and Juggernaut hopped out, shaking the whole cargo hold, and waking up the guard who survived.
"Nice helmet." Pyro commented.
"Keeps my face pretty." Juggernaut answered with a sarcastic smile.
They didn't see the guard take out his Cure gun, pointing it at Magneto, who was saying how well Juggernaut would be in the army. Mystique saw a green light appear on Magneto's back, got in the line of fire, and shouted 'No!' The dart shot her in the chest.
She took it out, looked at it, and then collapsed. Magneto took the gun from the guard with his powers, and Pyro sent a hot stream of fire at the guard, obliterating him.
Mystique was convulsing on the ground, and then her skin turned a healthy, rosy color. Her hair turned black, and her eyes brown. Mystique, now Raven Darkholme, looked at herself, shocked.
"You saved me." Magneto said, equally as shocked. Raven looked up at him hopefully, but he turned his back to her.
"Eric?" She said.
Magneto turned back to her. "I'm sorry, my dear, you're not one of us, anymore."
Magneto started walking out with Pyro, and Juggernaut, leaving Raven stunned.
"It's such a shame. She was so beautiful." Magneto said.
White House
"You think resigning is going to make a difference? That's no way to influence policy." MacArthur said to Hank, but he did not back down.
"Policy is being made without me, Mr. President. The decision to make the Cure into a weapon was made without me. What happened on that convoy was inexcusable, but your actions-" Hank started.
MacArthur stood up, and cut Hank off. "Hank, that was an isolated incident. You have to understand, those mutants were a real threat."
Hank looked at him with displeasure, but not hatred. "Have you begun to think what a slippery slope you're on?"
MacArthur nodded. "I have. And I worry about how democracy survives when one man can move cities with his mind."
MacArthur walked around the table as he said this. Hank nodded. "As do I."
MacArthur took another step forward. "You and I know this is only going to get worse."
"All the more reason why I need to be where I belong." Hank said, turned, and left.
Institute
Logan was standing by Jean again. She had a helmet on her head, hooked up to many machines to monitor her vitals. His eyes flickered to Danny for the fifth time since he got in there. He reached out, and graced her skin.
Her arm shot up, grabbing ahold of his wrist, and Logan thought he saw Danny jump in his sleep. The helmet retracted from Jean's head and her eye's fluttered open.
"Jean." Logan called. Her head turned to him, and she smiled. "Hi Logan."
Logan smiled at her. "Welcome back."
Jean retracted her arm and laid it on her torso, and looked at ceiling. "Back when we first met. Only I was in your place, and you were in mine." She said.
"You OK?" Logan asked.
"Yeah. More than OK." She answered, and her head turned to Danny.
"Is he OK?" She asked. Logan looked to the sleeping Danny. "Yeah, just sleeping. It's funny, actually. When we tried to get him to his room, he panicked, and insisted on staying with you."
Jean smiled happily at the sleeping form.
She reached up, and took the stickers off her chest. Logan watched her and ended up just staring at her chest. Her head turned to him, smiling, and biting her lip, seductively. "Logan, you're making me blush."
He looked back at her face. "You reading my thoughts?" He asked.
"I don't have to."
There was a pause, before she continued.
"It's OK." She said, and sat up. They looked each other up and down. "It's OK." She whispered again.
They both ended up kissing each other, and passionately. Logan thanked the Lord Danny was asleep, as they ended up lying on the table. He didn't even know the computer screen started to glitch, or that Danny was stirring in his sleep, obviously reacting to Jean's pleasure.
Jean ended up scratching him, but he just groaned as it healed up, and they went back to kissing. Their heads were against each other's and Logan didn't know Jean's eyes had turned black.
Suddenly, he regained his senses.
"Wait." He said.
"No." Jean said, and Logan's belt flew off. He looked down, and got off her. She sat up, wanting more. He walked up to her, and held her head.
"Jean, this isn't you." He said.
"Yes, it is me." She said, getting close to his face again. Logan held her away. "No, maybe you outta take it easy, huh? Professor said you might be…"
Logan noticed her smile drop.
"…different."
"He would know, wouldn't he?" Jean questioned. Logan looked confused.
"What? You think he's not in your head too? Look at you, Logan. He's tamed you." Jean said defensively. Logan backed away. He just looked at her for a moment. "Where's Scott?"
She suddenly looked scared and confused.
"Jean?"
She looked around.
"Where am I?" She asked. He walked back up to her and held her arms. "You're in the mansion. You need to tell me what happened to Scott."
There was a pause as she looked around.
"Jean, you need to tell me what happened to him." Logan said, and reached into his pocket and pulled out Scott's glasses. Jean looked at them for a moment, and then she remembered.
"Logan." She said, and things started to shake, screws came undone, computers glitched, things rocked, and the glasses Logan held broke. Logan held her head, as her eyes got glassy. "Look at me. Stay with me. Talk to me. Look at me, look at me. Focus, focus Jean!"
Jean's closed eyes opened, and Logan didn't notice that nothing went near Danny, or that he was waking up.
"Kill me." Jean said. Logan looked at her confused.
"What?" He asked.
"Kill me, before I kill someone else." She said, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't say that."
"Please." Jean pleaded. Logan shook his head.
"Stop it." Logan said, and Jean looked at him hopelessly. "Kill me."
Things started breaking again, at a higher level, but still, nothing harmed or went near Danny, who was still stirring.
"Stop it. Look at me, look at me. Jean, you'll be alright. We can help you, OK. The Professor can help, he can fix it."
Jean's eyes went black, and her hopeless face went angry.
"I don't wanna fix it." She hissed, and threw Logan against the wall, knocking him out. She stood up and the door blasted off its hinges.
She stopped before she could leave though, when she heard Danny sit up. He was looking at curiously and longingly. They weren't his eyes. They weren't independent. They were reliant.
Her head turned to him, with a smile that a mother would give her child when they accomplished something.
"Danny dear, come, follow me." She said. Danny nodded, with a small smile, and got up. He walked over to Jean, and she took his hand in hers. Danny didn't pull away, as he looked at her with a love that a child would give their mother.
She turned back to the hallway, and they walked out, hand in hand.
Magneto's Base
The gun that shot Raven was in front of Magneto.
"Voluntary? They put the Cure in the gun. I told you they would draw first blood." Magneto said to Pyro, Madrox, and Juggernaut.
"So, what do we do?" Pyro asked.
Magneto smiled at him. "What do we do? We use this weapon as a lightning rod to bring countless more to our cause. Come, we have an army to build."
The four headed for the stairs, but Callisto and Arclight came down. Callisto looked worried. "I picked something up; an electromagnetic force. It's massive. Its… two mutants, both Class 5. More powerful than anything I've ever felt, more powerful than you." Callisto informed.
Magneto looked at her with recognition. "Where are they?"

Storm came running into the med bay, followed by Charles. Storm kneeled down to where Logan was lying.
"Logan." Storm called, as he regained consciousness.
"Jean… Jean!" He yelled, sitting up.
"What happened?" Storm asked, and Charles wheeled forward. "What have you done?"
Logan looked at them, panting. "I think she killed Scott."
Storm was shocked. "What? That's not possible."
Charles shook his head. "I warned you."
They watched as he closed his eyes in concentration, when Storm noticed something. "Where's Danny?"
The two looked around, worriedly for their student's sake.
"He's with Jean, and they've left the mansion. Jean's trying to block my thoughts, and Danny's already shielded. He's helping her. They're so strong. It may be too late." Charles said, when Logan remembered something.
"You said earlier that we don't know what Danny's capable of. You didn't mean his developing powers, you meant something else, didn't you?" Logan said. Charles nodded. Storm looked confused. "Then what did you mean?" She asked.
Charles sighed. "When Jean and Danny were in Alkali Lake…"
