Neb: After Ricky was in the hospital for a while, he received attention from good surgeons who managed to fix his cheek and get him back to his smiling self with a sliver of a scar on his cheek. With the interference of shield, the doctors who worked on him managed to rewrite how he got the injury to avoid the investigation of mutants. I do not own X Men Evolution, and I wanted to write this chapter on Christmas, but felt I didn't have enough time to do that, so 4th of July is as good as any day right lol. This is the Christmas episode.

Ricky sat in the kitchen of the brotherhood house eating a bowl of cereal. All he could think to himself was the fact that the brotherhood was going to starve to death without the support of Magneto and Mystique. He supposed he should find a job to help support the group but... the rest of his so called friends would probably make fun of him and not give any thanks what so ever. Ricky shook his head and then sighed. Maybe he could sneak past some of Mystique's old jewelry away from Tabatha and sell it. Yea, that would get them something for more food.

"Pass the cereal, I'm starving," Toad grinned as he hopped in the kitchen.

"Pretty sure your power comes most in handy in this situation," Ricky grinned. "Just eat some bugs, it makes no difference to you."

"Yea it does, I want cereal, so pass the cereal," Toad retorted before wrapping his tongue around the box and digging his hand through it. Ricky sighed and the looked down still smiling.

"Keep it, I don't want it anymore," he sighed. Ricky looked up at the TV that was full of static. He walked over to it and hit the side of it a few times until picture started to emerge. "Toad, what happened to this place."

"I don't know man," Toad replied.

Ricky looked at the television as the reporter talked about an angel flying around New York saving people. Ricky grinned knowing he was probably another mutant. "Hey, with an angel on our side we could get generous donations right?" Toad looked at him confused as Ricky grinned at the TV.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Scott and Rogue had looked all over the city to find this angel. At least that's what Ricky could make out with his new power. He could sense the particles in people, so of course he could use the power to track a mutant with a nuclear bomb behind his sunglasses. Those particles seemed to stand out more than the others. He had spotted Rogue with Scott also, so he assumed she would be following him all over town. Poor girl probably still has a crush on the Cyclops. The more he studied everyone around Scott however, the more he learned their differences. Every aspect of them, their shape and sizes. He had once used this technique to keep an eye out for Hydra and he seemed to get a hang on directing this ability.

Of course it comes with a down side. Whenever Scott drifted too far from him, he would feel his body vibrate once more. It pissed him off to no end, that all of his best powers came with him shaking nonstop. So every time he felt a slight tremor in his body, he would change his focus from Summers to something else and wait for the mutant to come back in his radar. His focus changed however to a church as he could feel two people lifting off the ground in it. One of them felt familiar.

"Magneto," Ricky grinned.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"H-who are you," a man with wings grunted as he backed away from the alter at church. A man with red armor floated in front of him, Magneto.

"Some like you," Magneto spoke up.

"What do you mean?"

"Someone who was confused on what he had become. Someone living in fear and self pity, wondering whether he's been cursed.. or blessed."

"Listen, I don't know what your selling, but I'm not buying," the angel responded as he turned away.

"Do you realize what a wonderful gift you have? You can fly, you can do what everyone else dreams about, and yet you live alone." The angel lowered his head in shame. "Hiding in shame, it needn't be so."

"I'm learning to deal with it," the angel responded defensively.

"You think by helping a few pathetic people, they'll learn to accept you? You saw how quickly they turned on you today. Do you want to live in fear for the rest of your life?"

"No, but-"

"There are other like us Warren. I want you to meet them."

"Some sort of club for weirdos and freaks? I don't think so." Warren turns around to leave, but Magneto had other plans. A steel candle stand lifted of the ground and tied around Magneto.

"What is this?"

"This could have been easy, regrettably, you chosen to make it hard." The angel tried to fly away, but Magneto flew after him and tied him with the chandelier." A few people were watching, yet decided to run away. That was before a red laser beam hit him and blasted him through the wind.

The Xmen came in to save the angel. "Who are you people," Warren asked.

Mageto flies back inside the building. "You fools! You are nothing!" He throws anything in his area metal towards them, but the angel escapes out the window.

From a far away building Ricky sat back eating popcorn watching the angel swoop around the building to come in from the other end and tackle Magneto. The Xmen get the upper hand on him and he winds up falling to the ground. Rogue grabs onto his face and takes some of his powers and memories, but Magneto kicks her away before she can get any real information on him. Rogue chases after Magneto with his powers as he tries to fly away. Magneto however, with more experience with these abilities leads her into a trap where she began to fall from the sky.

The Angel flies under her and saves her as he flies off carrying her.

"Show off," Ricky chuckled before moving to his new target, Magneto. When Magneto landed on another building to recover Ricky snuck up behind him and used his powers to hold him in stasis.

"Vibrant, I didn't think I'd see you so soon," Magneto grunted.

"Didn't forget what stasis feels like after our last fight, did you," Vibrant grinned as he headed around Magneto to a spot where he could see him.

"What exactly do you want from me?"

"Just that evolution stone that keeps me from..." Vibrant felt his leg vibrate, but continued his hold on Magneto. "That, the stone that keeps me from that. Just give it to me."

"I hoped you were here to recruit the Angel," Magneto sighed. "My dear boy, I don't have anymore." Ricky's heart sank as anger boiled up inside him. He of course kept his smile going.

"Your lying, give me the stone or I'll blast you with fire."

"You can't use two powers at once without over overexerting yourself," Magneto chuckled.

"It'll hurt, but it would be worth it," Vibrant grunted. "You sent a psychotic mutant to kill me."

"Yes, Gambit did go rogue on that mission," Magneto agreed. "I sent him to destroy the humans I knew were going to betray you."

"But you sent them with me to recover an equivalent power to that stone," Vibrant growled.

"Careful, don't lose that smile Vibrant, or we'll have to change your name," Magneto taunted him. "None of the other emotions works with your set of powers. You smile and you vibrate particles, vibrant.. a simple name, but a good one."

"A human gave it to me," Ricky laughed, hoping that would get on Magneto's nerves. But it didn't.

"I know, the cheerleader, great work dealing with her," Magneto congratulated. "I hate Hydra so much."

"What a surprise, the guy who segregates a whole species hate Nazi's," Ricky joked, but that crossed a line as a metal pole hit him and tied around him.

"I am not a Nazi! I've seen the Nazis and had to deal with Nazis! I was numbered by Nazis!"

"I had no idea," Ricky grunted as he phased his body through the metal and threw a fireball at Magneto who dodged it and shot more scraps of metal around him at Vibrant, who rolled to the side dodging them.

"Is this what you want, a rematch brat!"

"I want the stone!"

"I don't have it!" Magneto fell to his knees and started coughing. Vibrant closed in on him and grunted as he saw a shriveled old man's face in Magneto's helmet. "If I did, would I look like this?" Vibrant was shocked by what he saw and then fell to his knees as his own powers started working against him.

"Y-you h-had to of kept a backup, y-your smarter then that!"

"My boy Vibrant *cough* I never thought I'd lose," he coughed. "I may be smart, but I'm unfortunately prideful." Vibrant created a fireball while grinning from ear to ear.

"I can kill you like this old man! Your weak now, no use to anyone! A monster that's been wounded!"

"Then do it! Replace me as the new monster if you believe that." Vibrant lifted his arm in the air ready to silence him... but then he didn't. He lowered his arm and extinguished his fireball. "There is hope for you yet boy." Magneto put his hand on Vibrant's chest and smiled before detataching some metal from his glove sending Ricky flying off into a wall knocking him out cold. "Your not me though," Magneto growled. "I have a vision that cannot be stopped!"
