Chapter 34: Magneto's Mistake

"Yes, of course, you're allowed to such actions; it's just that the Professor is currently speaking with Jean. So, if you don't mind, could you wait until he is finished?" Remarked Beast lightly with an amiable smile, which caused the other X-Men to glance at him, though they said nothing.

"I do not mind waiting. It's just that, given our relationship, I fear Charles will speak negatively on my behalf, ruining my chances of winning Jean over." Said Magneto while eyeing Beast, forcing him into a slight political dilemma.

"You know Professor longer than I have; Professor wouldn't do such a thing. He's an honest, upright man who wants nothing but the best for young mutants like Jean; he wouldn't do such a thing." Said Beast with furrowed brows, though before Magneto could reply, someone who should merely be a spectator interrupted.

"Bullshit." Commented Pharaoh in between a bout of fake coughs, again causing everyone to glance at him.

"Hmm, what's going on? Why is everyone looking at me? Is there a ghost behind me on that Scooby Doo shit or what?" Questioned Pharaoh in fake confusion as he turned around, though there, of course, weren't any ghosts.

"Who are you, young man? You don't seem to be an X-Men." Asked Magneto curiously as he looked at Pharaoh, prompting the White Queen to whisper a few words into his ear, causing his eyes to widen slightly.

"So you're able to block telepaths from entering your mind? What a unique and useful mutant ability; how about joining us, Brotherhoods of Mutants, young man? With us, you won't be forced to conform to these lesser creature's ideals." Added Magneto, looking at Pharaoh with slight desire.

"Nah, I'm good; I'm not even a mutant anyway, so I'm straight. Though my name's Pharaoh Kent, I'm also Jean's friend; I'm really just here to ensure nothing bad happens to her." Remarked Pharaoh lightly while shaking his head before intently looking at both the X-Men and Brotherhood.

"Tch, arrogant words from a small child." Muttered Pyro quietly, though, to his surprise, Pharaoh looked right at him.

"I can hear you, Pryo, so if you've got something to say, do it to my face like a man, nigga." Said Pharaoh while glancing at Pyro, who seemed provoked by his words, prompting him to bring out a lighter from his pocket, though before he could do anything, Mystique stopped him.

"Control yourself and stop acting like a child, Pryo." Said Mystique softly while tightly grabbing his hand, causing Pyro to wince slightly in pain.

"Tch, fine, you're a lucky kid." Remarked Pryo angrily as he yanked his arm away from Mystique and returned to his spot, though now he was looking between Bobby and Pharaoh.

'Such a fragile kid, all I said was one thing, and he's already trying to fight.' Thought Pharaoh as he looked at Pyro, feeling completely not threatened by him.

"Pharaoh here has super hearing, as he calls it; he was the reason why we knew you were coming." Said Beast with a slight smile, shifting the topic away from Jean and focusing on Pharoh, and it seemed to be having some success.

"Stop trying to shift the topic to me; I'm not that important here, alright; we're all here for Jean." Stated Pharaoh lightly as he glanced at Beast, who was glaring at him, before pointing to Jean and Professor X.

"Yes, Pharaoh is right; you've nearly shifted the topic away from Jean. That's a clever move there, Beast; I'd expect no less from you, though." Remarked Magneto with a slight frown while looking at Beast, who tried to cover up his awkwardness by laughing it off, though internally, he was cursing Pharaoh.

"Haha, I don't know what you're talking about, Magneto." Said Beast, though it seemed Magneto had finally had enough waiting as he started walking forward, causing the X-Men to tense their bodies, something that didn't go unnoticed by anyone, prompting the Brotherhood to do the same.

"I do not wish to start a fight; I'm merely going to speak with Jean." Declared Magneto as he glanced at the X-Men while slowly walking toward Jean and Professor X.

Although it was apparent the X-Men and Brotherhood had some beef, they also seemed reluctant to start a fight; I don't know whether it's because of Jean's presence or not, but it was fine with me; if their fight was going to be anything like the one on that island, I damn sure wasn't going to allow it to happen, not in my neighborhood at least.

"Ay, don't be saying anything weird to Jean; I'll be hearing everything." Remarked Pharaoh loudly while intently eyeing Magneto, who merely gave him a passing glance before ignoring him as he walked toward Jean and Professor X.

"Well, I stalled him for as long as possible." Said Beast as he turned around, approaching the X-Men while grabbing his head and sighing, though not before looking at Pharaoh in annoyance.

Confused about why Beast kept looking at me, I shrugged my shoulders and approached the Brotherhood of Mutants; I was only interested in speaking with White Queen and Mystique, not anyone else, mainly because they didn't seem like the talking type, and I didn't really like them to begin with.

However, while walking toward White Queen, that stupid Sabertooth aggressively growled at me and blocked my path to White Queen, causing me to groan in annoyance.

"What do you want, nigga? Also, back away, you stink, and my nose is sensitive." Remarked Pharaoh with a frown as he plugged his nose and waved the air between him and Sabertooth, who growled even more aggressively than before.

"Where do you think you're going, kid?" Asked Sabertooth while glaring at Pharaoh like he was his prey despite seeing him lift a small tree a moment ago.

"None of your fucking business nigga damn; now, can you move?" Replied Pharaoh with an annoyed expression while glaring at Sabertooth, who looked like he was about to rip Pharaoh to shreds with his elongated nails.

Thankfully, right when it looked like Saberooth was about to attack me, Mystique, seemingly acting as the group's babysitter, grabbed Sabertooth by the shoulder, prompting him to ignore me and eye her instead.

"Stop trying to kill everyone, Victor, and no fighting; do not make me tell you again." Stated Mystique sternly while eyeing Sabertooth down despite him towering over her.

After a few seconds of staring each other down, Sabertooth grunted and glanced at me one final time before walking away, causing me to raise an eyebrow as I looked at Mystique, who was looking right back at me.

"Is that fool all bark and no bite?" Asked Pharaoh curiously as he looked up at Mystique, who didn't bother responding and just continued looking at him.

"What's up with you old people always weirdly staring at young people." Added Pharaoh with a slight frown while eyeing Mystique, who seemed rather shocked by his words.

"Old? How do you know I'm old?" Asked Mystique while intently looking at him.

"Bones have growth rings similar to trees, and while I don't get an exact age, it's a pretty accurate estimate, like your age is around both Wolverines and Saberooths, though you seem to be slightly younger." Replied Pharaoh rather calmly while analyzing her bones, which caused her to furrow her brows.

"So you can also see people's bodies?" Remarked Mystique in fake curiosity as she was really trying to learn more about Pharaoh.

"I can do much more than that, honey; how about the two of us go on a date next week, and I'll tell you all about my powers." Said Pharaoh with a smirk as he stepped closer to Mystique, who merely smirked before transforming into her true form.

"How about now, still wish to go on a date with me?" Asked Mystique with a slightly playful smirk, which froze when she noticed Pharaoh seemed unbothered.

"Well, yeah, I was expecting you to look like that. Why? You don't like it or something?" Questioned Pharaoh curiously while looking at Mystique's true form, which he could always see.

"Hmm, I used to dislike it, but I've grown to love it. However, it's not very friendly when speaking with humans; they immediately think of me as some kind of monster, so I tend to look different usually." Replied Mystique with a slight smile, her words causing Pharaoh to be full of surprise.

"For real? Shit, you look sexy as fuck, if I weren't 12 years old." Said Pharaoh with a smirk, rubbing his hands together while ogling Mystique, who slightly chuckled at his antics.

"If you join the Brotherhood of mutants-" Said Mystique with a smile, though she couldn't finish speaking as Pharaoh cut her off.

"Nope, as I said before, I've got no desire to join the Brotherhood or X-Men or any other mutant group, and a booty call isn't going to tempt me." Stated Pharaoh seriously, causing Mystique to frown as her form returned to its previous appearance before silently walking away, leaving Pharaoh flabbergasted.

'This motherfucker. Well fuck you too then; I didn't want an old bitch anyways.' Thought Pharaoh with a huff of annoyance while looking at Mystique, who completely ignored his presence.

Just when I was about to see if I had better luck with the White Queen, I suddenly snapped my head toward Magneto at what he said, which was followed by Jean erupting into anger as she blasted him and Professor X away with her telekinesis, sending them flying.

"Don't speak about my friends like that!" Yelled Jean angrily while eyeing Magneto, completely ignoring Professor X.

'Oh great, here comes a fight?' Thought Pharaoh with a sigh, even though he was smiling as he slowed down his perception of time.

OH SHIT!! What did Magneto say to Jean that got her so angry!? Guess we'll find out on the next chapter!

Also, read all of the comments about the harem or no harem chapter, and one thing I will say is I didn't even bother thinking about life span because Pharaoh will definitely live a long ass life. Would also like to add if this novel does end up being a harem(Which is still undecided), it'll be three women max, as several people made valid points, and apparently, very few wished to have as many as four or five women, and, as the author, I'm completely fine with that.
