Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto)'s Story

Charles Xavier

"Is there a way that I can get rid of this tail for a short period of time?" she asked softly "I mean, I guess I'm used to it but it's just so I can sit and sleep more comfortably." she paused "and look like everyone else." frowning slightly "it would be nice to look relatively human for my birthday for once and not scare people off if they come near me or something." Flicking some of her fringe away from her eyes again, "I don't think people are comfortable around me if I walk in a room. Because sometimes my tail just acts up, there's been a few times last week where I was stabbing walls for no reason at all." paused "oh and the spikes shot out again this morning when walking here, I'm sorry." she muttered slightly "I didn't hit anyone this time, it was the ceiling..."

Charles paused and thought for a moment. “Hmm… I do understand however this would be a difficult task to complete. It may be beyond my abilities or beyond the abilities any of those here possess unfortunately.” Professor Xavier sighed heavily and then looked toward the window of his office.

“Well, there is one alternative that we could explore. However it involves asking a favor of an acquaintance of mine that I am not too fond of.” Xavier turned toward Claire once again and looked her in the eyes.

“There is a mutant by the name of Aidan O’Doherty. He calls himself The Author. He is a particularly high level mutant who’s highly narcissistic and unpredictable. Given his abilities he may be able to help you. However… he cares mostly and exclusively for himself and isn’t necessarily aligned with the forces of good per say. He has the unique ability to command the forces of reality, causality, physical phenomenon among other forces, to carry out his will within a limited radius by activating his mutant gene and speaking the command audibly. He could possibly suppress your tail for a short period of time.” Charles explained to Claire.

“Getting him to willingly help us will not be an easy task but fortunately I think I can manipulate him by appealing to his ego. If you’d really like to go through with this I will take you to him and remain with you the whole way. What would you like to do Claire?” Charles asked.

Charles knew to keep this a secret from Erik (Magneto). Erik would simply have a heart attack if he heard that Claire wanted to change herself to look more “human”. Erik was a mutant purist of sorts and loved most the mutants that looked different. He was a firm believer in loving yourself as you were and letting that define what was to be considered normal. Xavier understood what Clair was feeling well. Therefore he supported her earnestly in her decision.

Claire Da Rain

“Hmm… I do understand however this would be a difficult task to complete. It may be beyond my abilities or beyond the abilities any of those here possess unfortunately.” Claire heard him sigh heavily then glancing towards the window in his office “Well, there is one alternative that we could explore. However it involves asking a favor of an acquaintance of mine that I am not too fond of.” his eyes looked into Claire's as she started to grow a small smile

He has the unique ability to command the forces of reality, causality, physical phenomenon among other forces, to carry out his will within a limited radius by activating his mutant gene and speaking the command audibly. He could possibly suppress your tail for a short period of time.”Hearing Charles explain to her made her smile grow more and starting to feel giddy about the idea, “Getting him to willingly help us will not be an easy task but fortunately I think I can manipulate him by appealing to his ego. If you’d really like to go through with this I will take you to him and remain with you the whole way. What would you like to do Claire?” he asked her she keep her smile but a small part of her started to think if this Aidan friend wouldn't help at all, but with a smile still on her face she nodded

"the best thing I've heard since I came here!" she answered happily letting out a small laugh then soon frowned "but wouldn't Erik be mad at you if you done this for me?" she asked slightly concerned "I wouldn't want you to get in trouble because of me, even if it is your school and even though you're the head master." her smile soon came back "thank you so much Professor" flicking some hair from her eyes the smile stayed on her face "this means so much."

Professor Charles Xavier

Claire, with a smile on her face, nodded in reply to Charles’ question. "the best thing I've heard since I came here!" she answered happily letting out a small laugh then soon frowned "but wouldn't Erik be mad at you if you done this for me?" she asked slightly concerned "I wouldn't want you to get in trouble because of me, even if it is your school and even though you're the head master." her smile soon came back "thank you so much Professor" flicking some hair from her eyes the smile stayed on her face "this means so much."

Charles smiled as well. He replied, “I’m glad that you’re relieved Claire. Don’t you worry about Erik. He may be stubborn initially but once he realizes how important this is to you he’ll calm down. It’s for your birthday after all. He wouldn’t be opposed to a young lady having her birthday wish granted. I will advise you to take part in tomorrow’s Danger Room Training session. It would be a great stepping stone toward controlling your abilities. Erik’s position on the subject of outwardly visible mutation may be a little strict and hard to accept, but it is indeed valid. Your physical state is indeed a part of who you are. It may be difficult to adjust to but it is something you ultimately cannot avoid, and learn to accept. Just think on it as you work toward improvement.” Charles explained in a nurturing parental way. He wanted the best for Claire and so did Erik.

Charles stood up from his seat and headed toward his office door. “Well we should go to meet Aidan soon.”

"Well we should go to meet Adian soon." Claire slowly stood up and nodded

"I don't mind about the danger room training, hopefully it'll be good" she paused smiling more "thank you again Professor"

Aidan O’Doherty

[Angel of Mercy Hospital]
In a surgery room a man was in the operating room for Neurological surgery. Aidan was the lead surgeon and his team and he worked diligently on the patient. Aidan was known for mumbling to himself as he worked on patients during surgery. The other doctors all found it little weird but learned to accept it as normal behavior for Aidan. Aidan was actually using his powers to heal the patient. The heart monitor beeped faster and the patient seemed to be at death’s door, However Aidan’s mumbling began and the heart monitors beeping steadied. They soon finished and the surgery was a success. The patient’s family praised Aidan’s accomplishment and he loved every second of it. Aidan then received a phone call from Charles Xavier. He wanted to arrange a meeting right away with Aidan.

[X-mansion]

“Why Charles it’s indeed a pleasure to hear from you. One would think you didn’t like a fellow seeing as how scarce you make yourself.” Aidan greeted Charles as he entered Charles’ office. Charles and Claire had been waiting for him to arrive. Aidan in his nice business suite sat down in a chair.

“I explained over the phone the favor I would like to ask of you. Frankly Aidan, I could think of no one who could help my dear student Claire with her situation. Perhaps you could help her?” Charles said calmly. He knew to start appealing to Aidan’s ego, Charles also made Claire aware of this so when Aidan interacted with her she’d know to flatter him in any way possible. This was how one could better control Aidan.

“Dear Charles… you should have thought of no one else, for there is no one else.” Aidan countered with an arrogant grin. He looked over toward Claire and took her hand and kissed it. “Hello my dear. Please explain to me more specifically your desire. I will say the word and it shall be done.” Aidan said.

Phillip Klein and Erik Lehnsherr

Phillip spent the past hour training on the gymnastic bars in the gym. He swang from the bars elegantly and landed with poise. “I’d better take a break…” He said to himself. Just then Erik walked into the gym.

“Ah… there is my future son in law. Training your body huh? That’s excellent of you Phillip. A mutant of great power should not only train his abilities but his body as well. I wish other students would follow your example.” Erik said with pride as he sat down on the rest bench next to Philip.

“Ah, hello Professor Lehnsherr. And thank you for the complement. It’s an old practice of mine. Gymnastics will forever be a part of me. You seem to keep in excellent shape yourself sir.” Philip responded. He liked to hear Erik call him son, even if ‘in law’ was affixed to it. Magneto was like a father to Philip. Phillip never had a father so Erik’s nurture was much appreciated.

“You don’t have to add professor to my name when you address me. I’d sound too much like Charles then. So, I do hope you will be participating in tomorrows’ danger room session. You are one of the mutants I would like to offer a position on the new team of x-men Charles and I would like to create. I’ve been keeping my eye on a few students in particular. But tomorrow’s training will better evaluate their combat readiness.” Erik continued.

“I do indeed plan to train in the danger room tomorrow. I am actually looking forward to it. Also, it would be nice to fight alongside Vincent.” Philip replied with a crooked little smile.

“You remind me of me when Charles and I were younger. You will treat Vincent well. I know it.” Erik replied.

It was just another day in the life of Adria. She had been at the school for almost a month now, yet she hadn't made much of an effort to speak to the other students, unless you count 'Hi' as she walked through the halls, or 'excuse me' if she bumped into someone, or needed to get by. Playing the part of the bullied victim, as well as a well generated story of a telepath manipulating her thoughts to use her powers on humans, got her away from Xavier and Vincent propping her mind, allowing for Erik to step up. For now. It was no secret to Adria that he would be hard to play, but if she took it slow, and showed some sort of progress, it should work for a while.

Adria used the down time these past few weeks to get a good layout of the Mansion that she could, with what places the students were allowed. This being her first mission, she didn't want it to fall apart when it had barely started. Checking her watch, she had at least fifteen minutes before her 'counselling' session with Erik. Rolling her eyes, she stood from her desk in her room, and grabbed her Ipod, putting the headphones in her ears. Turning it on, death metal screamed in her ears, her head bobbing to the music.

Giving herself a last check in the mirror, Adria straightened out her white tank top, hands smoothing her black skirt, flicking off flecks of lint. Brushing some loose strands of blue hair behind her ear, she slid on the pair of flip flops at the end of her bed, making her way out of the room. Hopping down the stairs, she exited the main mansion, making her way over to the water fountain. Manipulating water always calmed her mind. The rage and hatred she felt for humans was so intense at times, that if she didn't keep her mind busy, her power would over take her. Or so she says.

Taking a seat down on the edge of the fountain, she lifted her hand, doing a small wave up and down, the water responding to her call. A small stream left from the surface, before separating itself from the body of water below it. Closing her eyes, she pictured various sea creatures, trying her 'best' to create them in the water she took from the fountain.

Erik looked at his watch as he noticed that he had a scheduled meeting in fifteen minutes. He turned to Philip and spoke, “Ah, I have a meeting with a student in a few minutes. Would you mind walking with me to my office Philip?”

Philip smiled brightly and wiped the sweat from his brow with his red, yellow and black towel. “Sure Papa.” Philip jumped out on a limb and called Erik his father. Erik smiled brightly as well and patted Philip on the back gently.

“Indeed, my boy. Indeed.” Erik replied with a chuckle. As the two walked down the halls toward Magneto’s office they continued their conversation. “So Philip, what was the code name you chose for yourself again? Charles likes to refer to them as code names but I feel they’re the true real name.”

“I chose the name ‘Boom-Boom’ or sometimes ‘Boomer’.” Philip replied.

Erik smiled, “Very nice… Philip as ‘Boom-boom’ and Vincent as ‘Psionic.’ Together you’d make ‘Psionic Boom.” A romantically powerful combination.”

The two reached the outside of Magneto’s office and awaited the arrival of the student.

Adria's sea horse looked more like a horse, and the Dolphin looked like a puffer fish. Disappointed, she pursed her lips together, waving the water back to the fountain, watching as it rejoined with the rest as if it never left. Her mind was calmed, and by her calculations, the fifteen minutes had almost passed. One thing was a fact. Adria hated to be late. Her day would feel thrown off even by a few minutes of being late, and she hated the feeling of being rushed.

Standing from her spot at the fountain, she plucked the headphones from her ears as she walked back into the mansion, her head slightly tilted downwards, blue strands of hair hiding the sides of her face. Slithering like a snake in between the crowds of students, Adria rounded a few corners, stopping short of the last one where Erik's office was. She could hear voices, and with her game face on, she poked her head around the corner, looking at the two who stood in front. Of course, Erik was easy to spot out. He stood tall and proud, and his very presence sent a wave of cold shivers down her spine. In Adria's case, the cold shivers felt more like a passing tingle. This was her first time being so close to one so powerful. The other, she had only briefly seen around, but had not spoken too.

"Um.." She spoke softly, moving the rest of her body around the corner, hands clasped behind her back. "I'm here for an appointment.." Ice blue eyes looked between the two, then back down to the ground. Even though she was among fellow mutants she should feel safe and secure, especially that there was no humans. But it felt the same. Unsafe and unsure.

Erik Lehnsherr and Philip Klein

"Um.." Adria spoke softly, moving the rest of her body around the corner, hands clasped behind her back. "I'm here for an appointment.." Ice blue eyes looked between the two, then back down to the ground.

Erik and Philip turned around to see Adria walk shyly towards them. “ah! There you are my dear. Please come this way there’s no need to be shy.” Erik invited Adria in a friendly manner. Erik could seem intimidating to anyone that was aware of his ominous past but to meet him in person under non-combative circumstances would surprise a person as to how gentle and nurturing he actually is.

“I’m not sure if you’ve had the opportunity to meet Mr. Philip Klein. He’s also a student here and soon to be son of mine.” Erik said with a great smile. He was like an embarrassing parent telling the world about Vincent and Philip’s relationship. He didn’t care that Vincent was interested in another male. He was actually in the corner of anyone who was considered the social underdog, which being gay fell under that category in Erik’s eyes. They faced a similar plight that mutants did. Erik was also glad that the man Vincent was attracted to was powerful, a mutant, and a good person that greatly cared for his son.

Philip blushed a little as he rubbed the back of his head nervously. “Ah… papa… you don’t have to tell everyone!” Philip chuckled. He turned to Adria and shook her hand with a bright smile. “’I’m Philip Klein, it’s a pleasure to meet you Adria. I haven’t seen you around much. I’m curious to know what your abilities are. I suppose we’ll get to see each other in action in the danger room Tomorrow?” Philip greeted Adria in his thick German accent.

Vincent Xavier

"Am I safe with this? How can I be even nearly safe with this?! There's a voice inside my head saying it wants to kill everyone!" Jonathan replied to Vincent in a disturbed manner.

Running his long fingers through his hair and pacing slowly, Memory's watching form eyeing him from where she had been standing before. Suddenly, he stopped and turned to Vincent.

"What do we need to do?" Jpnathan asked.

Vincent sighed as he recomposed himself in his seat. His body still tingled from touching Jonathan as he sat in his seat. He exhaled heavily as he began to speak. “Well… I think this will not be as bad as the phoenix, so that’s a piece of good news.” Vincent looked at the two siblings calmly.

“Secondly, I think your X-gene and subsequently your body is locked into a defensive mode. This may be in reaction to your own fears and anxieties. Your X-gene could possibly be trying to prevent you from getting hurt but heading into overdrive in order to further protect you. It hasn’t reached overdrive mode yet… thankfully. But whatever it is that you are not confronting in your heart that’s been haunting you, if left un-reconciled, will cause your X-gene to fly onto the offensive. Meaning you could possibly send a whole area into a dream, illusion and or nightmare state. Imagine the influence of your power spreading beyond your body.” Vincent’s eyes focused in on Jonathan.

Vincent knew that some X-genes were more closely linked to a mutant’s emotional state of being, others like his own were closely linked to his psychological state. “Take me for example, I must keep my mind in a neutral zone. If I slip into a serious narcissism I could lose control and become something quite malevolent. This requires me to check my mood and disposition on a constant basis. It’s not always easy but it can be done with effort. I had the privilege to meet the hero known as Spiderman once. He shared with me a quote that his uncle once to told him. ‘with great power comes great responsibility.’ I always remembered that and it helped me to focus in being responsible for my psychological state, which then helped me gain control over my mutant power.” Vincent added.

Vincent turned to face Memory. “You might actually be key in helping your brother fix his problem Memory. If it is a particular memory that is haunting Jonathan, then you and I will most likely have to help him confront the aggressor. Ultimately Jonathan will have to set things right within himself but he will need some assistance. We won’t know what we’ll encounter there but know that things will get better. Let’s give this some time and come back to formulate a proper plan when you both are ready. How does that sound?” Vincent smiled. Jonathan might actually be on the road to being able to touch others again.

Vincent telepathically said to Jonathan, “Remember Jonathan, if there is something you’d like to tlk about alone. I’m here to help you. Just say the word alright.”

Matsuzaka Hideki

Hideki after his meeting with magneto earlier in the day thought it best to chill out with some shopping therapy. He had plenty of money, being a popular JPOP star, and he loved to shop as a form of clearing his mind. He was a true mallrat if those still existed outside of the 90’s. He thought to invite his friend Kyle Jean-Claude also known as Marvel to accompany him. They both raked up at the mall and eventually felt good enough to return to the mansion.

On their way back the two decided to do a little joy riding in Kyle’s convertible. When they got to the long drive near the X-mansion Hideki stood up and fired off firework like plasma into the air. It burst into brilliant colors strong enough to remain distinct even in the day time. The two laughed and giggled as they continued.

“Kyle speed it up!! I KNOW you can go faster than this!!” Hideki yelled.

“Alright Flare, scream if you wanna go faster baby!!” Kyle replied as he laughed.

“WOOOOHOOO!!!” Hideki screamed. The car sped up and hideki lit the day up with his powers. They were however, going too fast and almost collided with the mansion gate.

“Oh shit! Flare get down and buckle up fast! I gotta hit the brakes!!” Kyle yelled. Hideki quickly plopped down into his seat and click his safety belt. Kyle slammed the brakes moments before they could slam into the mansion gates. They came to a stop, however the plasma flare Hideki was holding accidentally flew out of Hideki’s hand and exploded on impact with the gate. To make matters worse Aliyah the school technician and Cara, the Music teacher, were right there to witness/ survive it all.

“Uh… sorry ladies...” Hideki said sheepishly.

Logan was a little caught off guard by Cara jumping up onto Logan's back wrapping her legs around his waist and drawing a small knife from her shin holding it to his throat. "Who are you and what are you doing here?!" she asked darkly almost hissing in his ear, the blade's tip pressed firmly against his throat. Hideki who had just had his arms locked around Logan’s arm was knocked back by the sudden jagging of Logan’s body. He sparked up a Plasmoid flare but realized that it was Cara. He reabsorbed the energy and watched with a frown as Cara clung to Logan’s backside.

It was not often an accomplishable task for one to catch Logan off guard, his senses were too sharp for most people to evade. However Cara’s shadow traveling made it difficult for Logan’s senses to pick up on. As she spoke, Logan found her voice to be very familiar. He didn’t react as he wanted to because Charles shot him a quick telepathic message, “Logan, it’s alright it’s Shadowdancer. Cara Black now works with us. She’s stand down, but I definitely don’t need you to counter strike. That would turn into something very bad.” Logan heeded Charles wishes and stood still.

The professor gave Cara a look. "Oh, it's you. How funny that we should be in this situation again." she said lowering her blade but not letting go of what had once been her enemy. "Though I'd much rather be on the front." she whispered sensually into his ear, giving his neck a teasing nip before eventually letting go.

“Oh no… not you too. Well you can get in line right behind Kyle over there.” Logan rebutted glancing over at the two of them with on raised eyebrow.

Kyle replied in a sleek manner, “Oh I wouldn’t be at your front side for long, less my bare back was turned…” Logan shot him a look with squinted eyes that replied, “Don’t go there.” Without actually saying it.

"I hope you brought me something." She asked sweetly walking round to stand in front of him. "After all, we've always had such a connection." She winked at him playfully, still teasing him as she had done so many times in the past when they had fought as enemies.

“No one informed me that you’d be switching sides. I would have scrapped the money together to buy you a plane ticket to Genosha. You go as I arrive. But unfortunately you must join Matsuzaka on the waiting list for Souvenirs I didn’t give a damn to find.” Logan chuckled a little. He honestly didn’t expect such a fiasco of a welcome back.

"Or are you still bitter that I beat you?" Cara blew a taunting kiss before she turned to lean against the wall beside them.

“Get over yourself Shadow dancer.” Logan replied as he rolled his eyes.
"Oh, speaking of the Danger room, Professor. Perhaps it would be a good idea for me and Logan to give a demonstration to the students before they attempt themselves. After all, we're the only ones here with any combat training." Cara added.

“Hmm… Well that would be a good idea. Scott shall be here soon, that would make you, Logan, Scott, Vincent, magneto and I the only people that have had combat experience. I will officiate the exercise tomorrow given, you two agree to work with Scott and Vincent as well during the demonstration. The students need to see an X-men team in action.” Xavier explained.

Logan sighed a little. He wasn’t ready to get excited about working with Shadowdancer just yet. He was the official combat instructor so Danger Room training was unavoidable for him. He had just hoped that he could lay low for a little bit in the X-mansion environment without having to do the teacher ordeal. “Alright I guess it can’t be avoided.” Logan grumbled.

Fuyumi phased through one of the front walls of the X-mansion to see what was going on. She noticed Logan and smiled quietly. She stood beside the professor and waved slightly at Logan. “Logan-san, Konichiwa.” She said.

“OHisashi buri Abe-san.[It’s been a while Miss Abe.]” Logan replied. Logan knew some Japanese due to his former stint in Japan. He was still around when Fuyumi was brought to the mansion before he, himself, left.

Charles turned to Fuyumi. “Ah, Fuyumi, would you like to participate in tomorrow’s danger room demonstration? It would be good for you. You would be joining Logan, Scott, Cara, and Vincent. I’m unsure if Magneto will join the demonstration group as well. What do you say?”

“Alright. If you think it’s for the best then I shall.” Fuyumi replied as she looked at the group with a small smile.

The intercom of the mansion began to sound with Aaliyah’s voice. "I think we have an unwanted guest in the house or it is the Keebler elves and I don’t think it is the later one. I can put everything on lock down or leave it be it is your call P.C. don’t assume things when it comes to combat. That is the first rocky mistake one can make." with that she would waited to get buzzed back on what Xavier wanted.

Everyone looked up. Logan thought to himself “It looks like security is becoming a little lax here…” Charles replied to Aaliyah telepathically. “Before you place the mansion on lockdown, I’ll probe the mansion telepathically for intruders.” Charles then scanned the mansion with his mind. He saw the rooms, and by the time he scanned the kitchen he could see a plate of Pumpkin spice cookies and a pitcher of milk. He then knew everything was alright. “It’s alright Aaliyah, I know who our visitor is and they’re no intruder. In fact this person is a long awaited family member of ours.” Charles replied telepathically with a smile.

“No need for worry everyone.” Charles said to the others telepathically.

Vincent Xavier

After Vincent’s meeting with Jonathan and Memory, he went to meet up with Philip. He sent Philip a telepathic message to meet him in the lounge. Vincent while waiting in the lounge for Philip, who had left Magneto and Adria a while ago, Vincent began to smell a scent most familiar. He let Philip know to meet him in the Kitchen. Vincent knew when he entered the kitchen and saw the cookies that Vila had returned. A large smile crept across his face. He looked out of the kitchen window to see the small cottage house that belonged to Vila. Philip entered the kitchen as Vincent took a bite of one of the still warm chewy cookies.

“What’s all this? Something of a surprise for me Vince?” Philip asked flirtatiously. A cute smile crept across his face.

“Actually it’s a surprise for me. Sorry love. I’ll have to surprise you another time. Vila’s home.” Vincent replied.

“Who?” Philip gave a look of utter surprise and confusion. Vincent had not mentioned Vila much to Philip. Vila was somewhat hard to talk about since he missed her. So he kept quiet about her.

“Philip I want you to meet someone.” Vincent led Philip outside toward the once locked cottage. They stood outside the door and Vincent knocked.

Scott Summers

Scott had arrived at the mansion late into the evening. He was greeted warmly by the professor and Fuyumi who met him in the lobby. “Welcome back Scott. I hope you enjoyed your time away.” Charles greeted.

“It’s good to be back professor. I missed this place too much. Fuyumi, you haven’t changed at all.” Scott replied.

“Why thank you Natsu-kun.” Fuyumi replied with a warm smile. She nicknamed Scott Natsu which means summer in Japanese. Since Scotts last name fit’s she couldn’t help but gift his with the name. Scott smiled brightly. “You are just as handsome as the day I last saw you.” Fuyumi added. Scott was somewhat her type of guy, highly structured and something out of a Ralph Lauren ad.

Logan walked into the room. “Welcome back Summers.” He said in a slightly warm manner.

“Oh… Logan? The professor didn’t tell me you’d returned. Good to see you.” Scott replied in a slightly caught off guard manner.

“Yeah my sentiments exactly, Summers.” Logan replied as he leaned against the fireplace.

Charles then asked Scott, “So Scott how’s Jean doing on Miur Island with Moira?”

“She’s doing much better since the Pheonix incident and will soon be ready to come back. Moira advised me to return first for my own healing sake. So here I am. Jean should return in about a month.” Scott explained. Logan smiled silently to himself. He missed Jean greatly and cared for her as much as Scott did.
Erik joined the group. “I see the former group has returned. It’s great to see you both. Welcome back.” He said as he sat down next to Charles. His meeting with Adria had ended and he was ready to find out about all of the alarms he had heard earlier. Seeing Logan and Scott made things a bit clear to him.

The cottage door opened and there Vila was already darting toward Vincent in joy and excitement. With in nano seconds her arms where around his neck, Vila had to stand on her tip toes to reach. "Look at you my little brother all grown up" She kissed his cheek before she let go and just smiled at him before she gave him another hug. Vincent chuckled with joy at the sight of his ‘older sister’. It had been a long while since Vila’s last stint at the X-mansion.

“Yes I’ve shot up quite a bit little big Vila!” Vincent replied.

"I have so much to tell you about and things, and gifts and books to show you!" Vila spun like a top on her bare feet. She was all smiles just like she was so long ago. "You will love the new stories i have picked up it will be just like old times....well almost old times" She giggled happily.

“I’m sure you do have plenty of stories you’ve been gone for more than half a decade! I can’t wait to hear them! V I have someone that you must meet. Vila this is Philip. Philip this is my older sister Vila.” Vincent introduced the two.

She looked over to Philip and blinked some as she held her out. "Please forgive my manners I am Vila, Vincent’s older sister" She gave him a sweet kind smile.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you Vila. You are Vincent’s sister? I didn’t realize that the professor had another child. You look so young.” Philip inquired while looking puzzled his German accent ever present.

“He didn’t. She’s an added family member that’s just as official and a blood sibling, maybe even more.” Vincent replied.

"Please won’t you both come in side or we can go to the Manor to catch up ether one is fine with me" Vila asked.

“Well Dad X would really like to see you and if my telepathy is correct, Logan and Scott not long ago arrived home.” Vincent answered with a big smile. He then thought he should mention to Vila who Philip was to him. “Um… V, I should also tell you something important first. It would be a bit of an unnecessary fiasco to say it in front of everyone else.’ Vincent paused for a moment before continuing. “Philip is also a very important and close person to me. I love him, and he’s my boyfriend.” Vincent said sheepishly. He wasn’t quite sure how Vila would take hearing that someone was now both emotionally and physically hyper close with Vincent. Philip looked completely caught in the middle and he felt that way so he kept meekly quiet.

-In the Lounge-

“Thanks for the welcome Magneto.” Scott replied to Magneto’s welcome. Scott was initially distrustful of Magneto like the other X-men were. However, Scott knew Magneto had a particular sense of honor about him and he valued the professor too much as a close friend to ever deceive him in such a way. Therefore Magneto earned Scott’s trust much swifter than Logan’s.

Logan looked over at Magneto and smirked. “I never thought I’d be considering yours a friendly face, but I guess it’s been long enough so… It’s good to see a friendly face, especially when it comes from the rare likes of you Magneto.” Logan replied honestly. It was his way of letting Erik know that he trusted him finally. Magneto had been around for quite some time before Logan had left the mansion. However Logan still wouldn’t allow Erik to feel that he was trusted by Logan. It took a lot of faith for Logan to leave the mansion with Magneto there working with Charles. However he managed to go despite his initial distrust. He was glad to see things in one piece upon his return so if nothing bad happened at this point, Magneto might actually be alright.

The large group sat and caught up on old times as well as missed times with one another. Aaliyah joined the group. Charles smiled to see the often recluse Aaliyah come out of hiding and burying herself into her work. However it was Magneto that spoke.

“It’s rare I see you join the group. Welcome A.I.” Magneto greeted Aaliyah. He liked to refer to people by their codenames because they were most often brought on in connection the coming of mutant powers. He felt that the mutant codename represented a mutant’s true self not what human parents want the child to be, a ‘normal being’. Magneto smiled at Aaliyah.

“So… I’ve been dying to ask this. Magneto, Professor, are you planning on forming a new team of X-men soon? I want to join if you do. You could use my brute strength and good looks.” Kyle inquired. His smile couldn’t be contained.

“We are considering it.” Charles replied.

“We ARE to be forming a team soon. So you are correct Kyle.” Magneto corrected Charles. Charles was still trying to cling to any hope that the world would need another team. He continued, “However, You’ll need more than brawn to do well on the team. That is why training is most important. Well see how you’ve cultivated your mind during training tomorrow.” Magneto added.

“Well I can’t wait to see tomorrow’s demonstration!” Hideki added.

“Honestly me too, and I’ll be a part of it.” Fuyumi chimed in.

Cara Black

Cara moved herself backwards slightly as Scott arrived, he may have began to trust Magneto but he'd had much longer to gain it, Cara had been rescued after Scott and Logan's departure, they probably still considered her a great threat, she had spent a great deal of time creating trouble for the X-men, actually having stolen the Blackbird on one occasion.

She kept quiet as everyone became acquainted but relaxed slightly when Magneto arrived, at least with him there she was less likely to mistrusted all over again, she may not hold Xavier's dream but she still owed him the favour and being beaten into a pulp for her past experience with Scott would make that slightly more difficult.

She nodded when the Danger room was mentioned showing her agreement without trying to draw too much attention to herself, she could handle Logan alone but Scott REALLY didn't like her, not after Cara had made a move on Jean anyway... It also probably hadn't helped the standing with Logan either really. That and when she may have crushed Scott's car beneath a rock slide.

She took another drag on her cigarette the tip casting light on her face, had Cyclops been looking chances are he'd recognise her now. Probably better now then tomorrow in the Danger room, being mistaken for something in the simulation would probably hurt. A lot.

“We ARE to be forming a team soon."

The idea of Shadowdancer being considered one of the X-men still seemed alien to her, especially considering she was once considered along the same level of notoriety as a Mystique.

"Well, I don't know about you lot but I reckon if we're fighting together tomorrow then we best start bonding now. Anyone for a drink?" She offered gesturing towards the kitchens where the alcohol was stored.


((OOC: I know I just broke to laws of time and space there but I've decided to change things and have her never leave the lobby.))

Aaiyah Ippolita

She took another drink of the beer watching the others. " i am only here to see who is here and find out who the other person is and nothing more." She looked at Care "Its rude to smoke in someone else house even more so when others dont want to smell that or slowly be killed by it." She found it rather rude and not ok for someone to do this in someone else home. Aaiyah a messed up idea of honor. She watched Scott and Logan studying them as if sizing them up for a fight or something a long those lines.

"Any ways I have work to do" She turned moveing to do all the up dates and work that was need on the danger room. She had a lot to work to get done that night and wanted it to be done and ready for the next morning on top of that she felt like a joy ride on the X-wing she wanted to make sure there where not glitches on that as well.

One to the danger room she worked on the profiles to do with each person making the perfect training set up with different levels ranging from warm up to full on battles. once that was all done it was time for a little fun with the Xjet and all the new work she put in to it. She ran her fingers of the switch board shivering she could hear things that others could not hear. She hit the flip switches to turn things on hearing the roar and the vibrations. She opened the bay doors getting ready for a nice joy ride.

"I am only here to see who is here and find out who the other person is and nothing more." Aaliyah looked at Cara "It’s rude to smoke in someone else house even more so when others don’t want to smell that or slowly be killed by it."

When Cara entered the room Scott cringed a little. He was made aware that she lived at the X-mansion during a phone conversation with the professor, while Scott was on Muir Island. He had almost forgotten what he was told. He didn’t trust her in the slightest. She made matters worse by previously flirting with Jean Grey, who was at the time struggling to gain control over the phoenix personality. As the Phoenix, Jean was far more provocative and erratic in her behavior than normal Jean was. This worried Scott, anything that threatened Jean concerned him. He was usually the team leader and he made it a notion to keep a close watch on her.

"Well, I don't know about you lot but I reckon if we're fighting together tomorrow then we best start bonding now. Anyone for a drink?" Cara offered gesturing towards the kitchens where the alcohol was stored.

Logan looked at Cara and smirked. “Now that’s one offer from you I most likely won’t refuse.” He commented jovially.

“I’ll go for some merlot wine~” Kyle seconded with a suave facial expression. He couldn’t pass up a chance to drink with those he deemed to be cool. Cara, Logan, Scott, and Hideki were all very suave, debonair, or sophisticated in his social hierarchy. Although Logan seemed socially retarded to most others, Kyle felt that whatever circle Logan was in was indeed an exclusive one and he wanted most to be exclusive.

“I would tell you no but you are of age so you’re lucky. But you’d better not overdo it cause you’ve got training tomorrow Bub.” Logan rebutted.

“Besides Wolvie, I’m French. I’ve been drinking wine since I was a kid. It is my water, so no need for worry.” Kyle replied with his signature wink. Kyle always looked like he was ready to walk down a runway, even if he was dressed in something subdued.

They all went into the kitchen and Logan asked Cara to hand him a bottle of Jack Daniels. He accepted it rather plainly in manner. He didn’t want Cara to feel just too comfortable yet. Kyle slinked over and poured him and Hideki glasses of wine.

“Professor, Magneto, would you like some Merlot?” Kyle asked the two as he held up the bottle.

“No I’m quite alright Kyle. I’ve done enough drinking in my day.” Charles replied.

“I’m with Charles on that one.” Magneto added. He smiled as he patted Kyle on the back in a fatherly manner. He really enjoyed being at the X-mansion. It somewhat felt like retirement. He could relax a lot more.

“Scott?” Logan asked Scott as he held up the Jack Daniels bottle in an offering gesture.

“No thanks. Someone has to have a clear mind for tomorrow.” Scott replied.

Logan plopped the bottle down on the table and quickly averted his gaze from Scott. “Always the straight edge aren’t you Summers.” Logan commented in a slight grumble.

If Scott’s eyes could be seen, he’d be rolling them at this point. He did let out a frustrated sigh. Fuyumi sipped a can of beer as she quietly smiled at Scott. She remembered that Scott was big on water so she phased through the kitchen island and reached into the refrigerator through the door to grab a water bottle. She then phased back through the kitchen island and handed the water bottle to Scott.

“Thanks Fuyumi.” Scott replied. He was glad that she didn’t pressure him because he was so disciplined. Others often found that annoying and or a buss kill during a party, Scott was self-conscious about that. He liked Fuyumi because she was a very relaxed person and put others at ease. Fuyumi simply smiled in response.

Hideki noticed the Pumpkin spice cookies that sat on the kitchen island and took a bite of one. The professor smiled as he knew who baked them.

“These are really good! Fuyumi-chan, did you bake these?” Hideki asked as he munched on another cookie.

“No, I didn’t. They smell delicious though.” Fuyumi replied.

“So she’s home I see.” Magneto replied as he peered at the cookies.


Vincent Xavier and Philip Klein

Vila eyes went wide and she made of a sound of pure joy before she lunged at Philip hugging him tightly kissing him on the cheek like she did with Vincent. For how small she was, she was rather strong. She welcomed him with that loving light that never seemed to dim.

Philip was initially caught off guard. He reacted and returned the little lady’s embrace, “Whoa whoa… ha ha ha! Thank you big sister!” Philip replied gleefully. He was most glad that Vila liked him.

When she took a few steps back she poked Philip in the chest looking quite cross. "You better treat my baby brother right, or you will have to deal with me." She giggled a little and winked at him. She knew Vincent would never pick someone bad and was not overly worried about it.

“I will sister, no need for worry. He’s the reason I smile all day long.” Philip replied with a large smile. He was very happy since he had no siblings of his own, having a sister was nice. It had always been him and his mother alone. He would always look after his mother and now he could look after Vila as well.

"I would like to get a cup of tea or lemonade before we join the others. Do you think that would be something we can do." Vila was not worried as she moved. Her smile never left as her red hair dance about her body. "I do hope everyone is well and healthy."

“Sure. You’re still shy around large groups I see.” Vincent replied with a tiny grin.

As they walked to the manor Vincent told Vila that Philip and he had met three years ago. He told her about meeting him in Germany and them becoming close. They noticed the group had moved into the kitchen and began drinking. The professor acknowledged the group’s arrival.

“Why hello Vila! Welcome home.” He smiled brightly as he walked over and gave her a hug.

“You’ve been away for too long my dear.” Magneto added.

Fuyumi, Hideki, and Kyle were all unfamiliar with the seemingly young lady. Fuyumi was puzzled by her doll like appearance. Kyle was also bewildered. To him, the girl looked like one of him mother’s collectable porcelain dolls and or her French statuettes. Scott smiled, it had been a while since he’d seen Vila. She was a very innocent being, the likes of which Scott didn’t see often anymore. Logan took another drink, now having moved on to whiskey, “Long time no see.” He greeted Vila.

They group continued to talk and drink. Eventually it got later and the professor urged the group to go to bed and rest up for the next day of Danger room training.

~Chapter 2: Danger in the Danger Room~

Professor Xavier and Magneto began to set up things for Danger Room training. All systems were still in good condition and ready to operate perfectly. Aaliyah’s modifications were first rate and state of the art. The professor thought to do something special for Aaliyah given all of her hard work and dedication. She was always doing her duties excellently. The students suited up into their uniforms. Charles allowed them to have personalized uniforms since some of the students complained about the standard training uniform, Kyle being a major voice box of complaints.

The teachers that were to take part in the demonstration were gathered in the danger room waiting for the simulation to start. The students sat in the observation/ control room where the professor could point out things of importance and note to them.

“Alright, I shall begin the simulation set to level 4 when you all are ready. Give the word if you need me to shut it down early. Cara, Logan, Fuyumi, Vincent, you are to follow the commands of Scott who will be the field commander. You all must above all trust each other and be most careful as this will indeed be dangerous.” Charles explained.

[At a government facility far away.]

Bolivar trask sat in a meeting with other researchers and generals. “We will strike today. I want my weapon back. It’s been years and the time is ripe. The mutants Xavier and Magneto have had time enough to train our weapon in his powers. Now we can collect… Our previous set back will now be made right.” Trask said with a sinister grin.

(OOC: A little foreshadowing~ bwaahaha~ {queue the scary violin music} )

Vila

Vila stuck her tong out at Vincent with his comment about being shy around other even know it was true. She still giggled and smiled more once they where in side. It was nice seeing every one she missed them dearly. She gave the hug back to Xavier pleased to see him and Erik. "it has been, There is no place like home it will always draw one back" She giggled and smiled at every one greeting them in turn. She would introduce her self to the others and answer questions that where asked by the others.

She would stay up to talk to Xavier, Erik, Scott and Logan her personality changing becoming less childish. She would fill them in on more of the reason she came back and what was going along with showing them more of the control she had over her gift. She knew they had a lot to catch up on and go over. She would take care in how she answered things. Once all was done she made her way back to the cottage to get some sleep.


Vila was up before every one making them a big meal to start the day. She would be there with the Danger room training to make sure no one go hurt. She new at some point the where going to want her to take part in it but at least they where going to wait before bring it up. She had that sweet sunny personality again with another simple sun dress and bear feet.

Vila knew she promised to spare Logan before she left but was unsure if he would remember that, she hoped he would not. Vila had a habit of always making good on her word. She would wait to ask Logan if he would still give her a ride on his moter bike like they talked about. still none the less she was glade to be back and keeping on eye on things.

Aaiyah Ippolita

She was up and moveing in the morning something she did not normally do. She had her over sized cup of coffee. Once in the danger room she looked at the set than to Erik and Xavier. "Mind if a take the controls I have something new programed that I would like to run" She keep a poker face as she spoke. The program she wanted to run would not be a simple one but used there weakness and focused on team work along with trusting one another. On top of that it evolved changing as the fight went on adapting and learning as people would do in real life. It would also make it harder to have a plan set in stone.

The profiles she did on all of them but the new girl would be useful in training. She as unsure of this person her energy level was a little off putting. How ever for every one was a little off putting. Still none the less she was going to have to make a profile for the computer for the danger room. Not only that she woundred if she was going to have to take part in it as a staff member.

Cara raised an eyebrow at Aaiyah's complaints. "Because your previous statement was the epitome of polite." She answered sarcastically exhaling a lungful of smoke. "Besides, with all the day to day dangers we all face somehow I don't think my smoking is your biggest concern in life." she added. Turning her attention back onto the rest of the group as the girl stormed off. "She really is an odd one isn't she?" she spoke quietly, not to anyone in particular, she wasn't really the most popular person in the room right now.

She had that glaring feeling again but this time it was Scott giving her a not-so-friendly expression, apparently his opinions on her hadn't changed. Though it would probably take a lot to gain his trust and even if she had it, what difference would it make. She was hardly intending to stay a permanent feature at the mansion, she'd have left a long time ago if she didn't owe such a debt to the X-men.

Cara was quite surprised at Logan's response but didn't question it. "You see! And you were all set in on hating me!" She smiled passing Logan his whiskey before picking her own bottle of Smirnoff vodka and poring herself a few shots of the clear liquid. "You know Logan I've always wanted to drink with you. No one else can ever handle their drink enough to keep up! But I know you can drink heavy, I've seen it myself!" She smiled, referring to an earlier encounter that involved her following Logan for a number of weeks. She couldn't help but notice the blank acceptance, they were evidently feeling as awkward as she was about all this.

She watched as the others fussed around the cookies, never having been one for them herself she just necked another shot but even she had to admit that they did smell good. She looked up as Vila entered the room. Woo! That's at least one person in the room who I never wronged so badly they want to kill me. It was a morbid thought but it was very true, Logan and Scott had both been in the top three on the list who wanted to track her down and remove her. It was only thanks to the fact she was incredibly difficult to track that saved her on multiple occasions.

After several hours and almost a dozen shots Cara finally said goodnight and slowly walked up to bed, feeling the effects of the vodka starting to hit her and looking enthusiastically forward to the danger room tomorrow.



Cara had chosen to wear a fitted outfit for the day, it had been a while since she'd used her powers on this sort of scale and it was best to give herself as much movement as she could for the training, she couldn't let herself get shown up by Scott or Logan. "Ok then lets do it." she answered to the Professor's call, keeping an eye on Logan and Scott deciding she'd probably gain a few brownie points or at least irritate them if she managed to become back up for the demonstration.

Cara, Logan, Fuyumi, Vincent, and Scott all prepared themselves for the demonstration. The stood in the danger room waiting for the simulation to start. The professor turned to Vila and Aaliyah who stood in the control room with the students, he and Magneto. “Aaliyah, Vila, would you like to join the group during the demonstration? Your abilities would make an interesting addition to the demonstration.” Charles asked. Charles also turned to Magneto, “Erik you are also welcome to join them if you please.”

Magneto smiled and shook his head. “Not this time Charles. Perhaps I’ll be a bit more hands on during the students’ turn in the danger room. Let them see Scott and the others in action first.” Magneto replied jovially.

“Alright then We shall begin.” The professor said as he spoke into them microphone.

The danger room’s silvery metal atmosphere morphed instantly as the lights in the room dimmed. The danger room was no longer a room, but a city scene. There were many people walking the sidewalks, there was snow on the ground and snow flurries in the air. It was night time. The city donned many neon lights. The group was in New York city’s Time Square. The team stood in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

Scott turned halfway to the group and spoke authoritatively. “Everyone keep your guard up and make sure you keep an ear open for my command. Anything could happen.”

“You don’t have to remind me Summers.” Logan huffed.

Scott glanced over at Vincent before turning back to keep a look out. “Vincent, scan the perimeter for any hostiles.”

“Already on it.” Vincent replied. He did a telepathic probe of the surrounding environment, his middle and index fingers placed to his right temple. “I sense hostiles approaching us fast. They are large in size but I don’t sense much else. Probably due it being a simulation. I could cheat and read my father Erik’s mind to find out the protocol Father X is using.” Vincent said with a sarcastic smirk.

“We are NOT cheating Xavier!” Scott scolded. He usually called Vincent by last name only when he was getting on him for not taking things seriously. Vincent liked to make light of things often. Scott was counter opposite of this mentality.

“Will you two shut-it up! I smell something.” Logan huffed at Scott and Vincent. “I smell heavy metal. It’s been a while but I know the smell anywhere… Sentinels!”

Just then five large sentinel robots appeared towering over the surrounding buildings. The approached the group, each footstep heavy and earth shaking like a giant’s foot. They were indeed iron giants and highly dangerous. The professor had explained to the group that even though this was a simulation, it was very dangerous and could lead to serious injury.

“Try not to get surrounded and cornered! And do NOT take a direct shot from them! Logan’s about the only one of us who’d be able to get up from a shot like that.” Scott ordered.

The people in the scene ran and panicked as if they were real. “MUTANT LIFE SIGNATURE DETECTED. APPREHEND AND ELIMINATE.” The sentinels said in unison.

“Apprehend THIS!!!” Scott yelled as he released an optic blast at the chest of one of the sentinels, causing the robot to fall backward. “X-men take them out!” Scott shouted.

The group scattered. Two sentinels shot beams at Fuyumi and she on instinct phased. The beams went straight through her without any harm to her. She smiled innocently at the robots. She then ran toward one of the two robots and as she got closer she began to walk on the air as if climbing stairs. She call this ability air walking. As soon as she got on the level with the sentinel’s blasting arm she jumped through the arm causing the arm to fritz out. Phasing through electronic matter often caused disruption within the system. The blaster was disabled. As Fuyumi reached the ground she phased through and rose back up as if riding an elevator through the floor. “Shall we go again?” She said quietly.

Wolverine jumped up to one of the robots at chest level, claws extended, and began to tear into the machine. The Sentinel stumbled backward but did not fall just yet. He grabbed Wolverine and threw him toward a large neon sign. Psionic (Vincent) using his telekinesis stopped wolverine just before colliding with the sign.

“I owe ya one Psi!” Wolverine yelled.

“I receive payment in many formats Logan!” Psionic responded with a laugh. Just then the same sentinel that threw Wolverine shot a constricting chord around Psionic, causing him to lose focus dropping Wolverine to the ground. “Shit!” He reacted. Psionic shifted into metal form, where his strength is increased and with some effort, managed to break his bindings.

Scott after blasting away at the sentinel he originally targeted, shouted to the other members, “Let’s keep it together X-men!!!”

Phillip watched the session from the control room wishing he was there to help Vincent himself. But he had to realize that he wouldn’t always be there to protect Vincent so sitting this one out was a test for him as well. He looked around at the other students observing the battle. Kyle and Hideki seemed to be eager to get their turn. Jonathan and Memory were a bit harder to read than Hideki and Kyle. He hopped that all would go well. Magneto stepped beside Philip and placed his hand on Philip’s shoulder.

“I should have insisted that you be a part of the demonstration. I believe whole heartedly that you are ready my son in law.” Magneto said to Philip with a kind smile.

Magneto had really taken to Philip as family. He did indeed have his own son Vincent and Vincent’s older brother Pietro, also known as Quicksilver. Magneto was never really as proud of Pietro as he was of Vincent. Pietro much resented Vincent for this special treatment by their father, however he thus battles with himself on the subject of how to treat Vincent when he is around. Pietro left the X-mansion shortly after Magneto and the Brotherhood joined forces with the X-men. He took most of the Brotherhood mutants with him. They are technically allies of the X-men at this point but they could be persuaded otherwise given the right incentive.

“No worries papa. I’ll have my chance yet.” Philip replied with a cool grin.

Vila

She shock her head. "If it is ok I will sit this one out, two i am not dressed to go in there at the moment" Vila had a point with that, a sun dress was not a good thing to wear in the danger room. "along with that I dont know if i still have my uniform and gear." Vila was not even sure she still had the uniform how ever she still had the gear. The wonderful two in one light weight but strong metal staff that also could become a water staff that Erik gave her.

Vila blinked when they handed her a box with an updated uniform. She left the room for a little bit and came back with it on. The special weapons she used with each of the fighting styles she knew. She felt strange to be back in uniform long and elgent made to with stand her ability and assets. Her finger tips traced the mask that she new to well

Vila took set to watch the others, she hated fighting but knew she had to get over that even more with the storm that would be coming. Vila's normal smile was gone and she looked focused no longer having that ditsy happy feel to her. Even with it being training Vila gave it her full attention.

Vila knew these metal monsters well and shivered a little. They where no cake walk to take one and they way where almost unstoppable could give one nightmares. As long as the worked as a team and did not brake away from that she new they would be fine, but still it made Vila uneasy.

Aaiyah Ippolita

She shrugged slowly standing up she made her way down. She could handle most things but it if was technology it would be in her ball park and she was hoping for something that would play in her hands. When P.C brought up the sentinel she new this was going to be fun. She smirked some popping her neck, she was ready for this.

Once things started she moved to get her self to higher ground and some where that would be a little bit more safe. She twisted one of the lenses of her goggles scanning one of the sentinel. She got the info she need and shut her eyes clearing her mind. Slowly she started to take control of the sentinel. It was rocky at first but she new she would not be able to hold for to long =, she new it would re-wright its program still a little bit of time was better than nothing.

With in a two minutes Aaiyah had control over it. She smirked when the sentinel did her biding and moved from her spot she went after one of the other sentinels with the one she had control over. Take two down with one stone. Simple yet it worked, how ever it took a lot more than what was normal for her to do. They locked in battle doing damage to one another how ever Aaiyah was giving her self a bloody nose from this. She new she was hitting her braking point.

Every time she did something this big it effected her body and not always for the best. Still it was worth it that feeling of having control over a sentinel, bending it to her will. Her plan did not go 100% her way, she took out one and did a lot of damage to the other. Still that was better than nothing. It made the other one much easier to take down.
