[°X-Mansion°]

Nick Fury P.O.V

Looking at the state of my agents and Coulson who was sporting a forced calm look and failing to do so because of what just happened to them, I couldn't help but curse.

Motherfucker..

This is starting to get out of hand..

We have come here not really ready for the unexpected Magneto and his brotherhood.

All of this wouldn't have got to this point if this kid just cooperated and came with us peacefully instead of battling the students of Xavier..

Looking at the kid who had two mutants on his side looking as if he owns the world with that passive arrogant expression just ticks me the wrong way..

Aside from the fact that he doesn't want to come with us. This kid actually had the gal and courage to hurt my agents and Coulson while sporting a calm facade as if we are nothing in his eyes...

Those types of gaze can only be found in the likes of Magneto and others like him..

They think that the world revolves around them and that we, the normal folks, should be honored that we're even their presence in the first place..

This types of people are really a headache to deal with.

While I don't really know why he spared me from the pain just like what he did to Coulson and the others, I am pretty sure that there's nothing good that is currently running through that twisted mind of his.

Though, what does this Old Magnetic want by being here and even bringing with him some of his heavy hitter? Did he come here to recruit this troublesome kid? No no, that can't happen, if Magneto got his hand on the kid, nothing good will definitely happen.

3rd Person P.O.V

"Hello Old Friend." Magneto smiled slightly to Charles.

"Hello Erick... But I'm pretty you came to not just say hello right?" Charles the-ever-calm professor spoke.

Magneto then turned his gaze to the silent Fury at the ground and spoke, his voice dangerous "What are you doing here carrying those accursed products built by that dwarf?"

"We are not here for you or any students of Xavier except for that kid, he's what we came here for.." Fury wasn't one to back down as he calmly replied with a strong voice.

Magneto turned his face to the floating Andrew's group and spoke with a soft voice "What do they want with you, my child?"

Illyana was sporting a serious look as she knows how dangerous Erick Lehnsherr also known as Magneto can be, hearing how the teachers are always speaking with apprehension when talking about him.

While Pyro was silent and was readying his zippo lighter in case of something..

"I don't know and I don't care.." Andrew sarcastically replied with an impassive look.

Magneto was silent as he turns and observes the two unconscious Summers brother and the look of some of the students as they look at Andrew, seeing this, he was able to connect the dots and a smile began appearing on his old face as turns back to Andrew "Join us and assist us in our cause that will let the mutant race truly have a place in this world."

Though his expected answer didn't came true as Andrew just said "Nope. Now, if you would excuse us. We have somewhere to go.."

Saying that, Andrew and two flew away with speed approaching that of the sound as they quickly disappeared in the horizon.

Magneto wasn't discouraged with this as he has a hunch that he would meet the young man sooner or later once again.

At that, Magneto turned his gaze once again to the seething Fury as a malicious smile appeared on his face.

Nick Fury sweatdropped seeing that smile as he felt a foreboding feeling.

...

That day Fury goes back to the S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters with his agents all having useless limbs or would take months to surrender while the prototype of the Mutant Collars he brought with him was all destroyed by the Master of Magnetism.

Andrew's P.O.V

One Hour Later

We flew down in a random alley in Seattle as i turned off the invisible effect of my force-field and the force-field itself.

While I'm not really focused on practicing my sole mutant ability, my natural talent still couldn't help but work as in the past two months, my mastery over my force-field creation got better passively as evident of how it has an invisible mode.

I can also conjure multiple force-field that all has the same durability and effects but i can only do it for sometime before i begin feeling tired.

"... So what do we do?" Pyro voiced out as he looks at me.

Illyana was silent as she just looks at me with a look indicating the same question.

"... Well we visit some old friend of mine and after that I'll tell you what we i really want to do.." I replied while yawning and then signaled for Pyro to come closer "First.. We do this, so those S.H.I.E.L.D don't come after our asses at every chance they got.."

Pyro furrowed his brows in confusion but complied, though, still confused.

I reached my hand out and placed it on his face as i concentrated in using my body manipulation.

Pyro seems to be confused but didn't resist. Then, a few moments later, I saw his face beginning to squirm like worms but i continued.

A minute later, i removed my hand and smiled seeing my success.

He should thank me that he became handsome..

Pyro was still confused but then he saw Illyana sporting a surprised look on her face and the guy immediately asked "W-what? What is it? What happened to my face?"

"You.. changed?" Illyana said cryptically which just confuses Pyro even more as he turns to me and shouted with his voice laced with frustration "You' bastard! What did you do to my face?!"

"HaHaHa." I couldn't help but laugh seeing him like this but seeing him still glaring at me, i put up my hand, surrendering, and willed a broken mirror from the side and put it in front of his face.

"Oh shit?!" Pyro shouted involuntarily as he saw a reflection that was clearly not him. Of course it's not him, his new face is handsome after all. He touched his face a few times before turning back to me "Damn! Didn't know you could do that?"

"You'll be surprised more in the future." I smirked as i turned to Illyana after "Your turn."

"Is it really necessary?" Illyana asked as she put her palms on her cheeks protectively. Is she acting cute?

"Don't worry, I can turn you two back any moment and it was your decision to come with me so blame your wild and adventurous mind." I replied mockingly as I motioned her to come to me already.

"Tch." Illyana complied but seems to muttered some curse words along the way. This wench dare?

Just like Pyro, she changed looks and I even gone on my way to change her hair color to midnight black. Damn she looks like a comic book character in live action.. She looks.. strangely good..

Removing this thoughts away. I then changed my appearance and took on an above average face with olive skin color and I even changed my hair as i made it longer down past my shoulders where i tied it to a man-bun

After checking if all was okay and perfect, the three is us came out of the alley together as we took a look at the surroundings. I narrowed my eyes and then turned to the two "You can go explore this place if you want and then meet me about six pm right there at that McDonald's. Copy?"

"No, what will i even do in this place, I'll come with you." Illyana voiced out.

Pyro looks at me and Illyana for a moment and then said "Copy, I know some place here i can visit so no worr–."

"Wait no, since this girl is coming, you should also come." I thought for a bit if bringing this troublesome girl with me is good but i didn't see any problem so I agreed and eventually also took Pyro.

Just before leaving, I remembered something and stops and waves my hand on Pyro's head randomly.

Hmm.. just a simple mind-shield that will hide their psionic signature and their minds from a Telepath.. Hmm.. Okay this is enough

After doing that i stopped and turned to Illyana

"What did you do?" Pyro asked while running his head trying to find something.

"I've put up a simple mind-shield in your mind so that bald head wouldn't be able to trace us." After few seconds, I finished constructing the one on Illyana and after that we went our separate ways..

I'm coming father..

Magik's (Illyana) P.O.V

Seeing Andrew beating all those pathetic man in TV was such a good feeling. I mean, they dare attack him and whip out some external power like missile and not use their own strength and expect it work like magic? Hah! They are as pathetic as their weapons..

I have always felt Andrew was more than he was letting out, I always felt that he was hiding his true nature, call it woman's intuition but i Instinctively know it inside me..

Then i got my answer..

Seeing this bald cripple suddenly intruding inside my mind and showing me some memories that was supposed to encourage me to hate Andrew was just plain pathetic. I felt anger at the fact that he just went inside my mind casually which brought out a great disgust inside me for the bald head.

But I just kept to myself as i know that I'm the minority here as I'm pretty sure that this teachers and students wouldn't even listen to me if i voiced out my opinion..

They trusts the guy with all of them and i even have the feeling that some of them, like Hank, Alex and Colossus would even sacrifice their own life for him..

It was strange..

But seeing the ever-arrogant teacher and his brother that was like his carbon copy – as pathetic as they can get – being manhandled by Andrew effortlessly brought a smirk to my face..

Since the day i was kidnapped by those monsters in human skin, I had always had an innate disgusts for men for what those monsters did to me.

While i have slowly been recovering and was now able to sociaize normally, I still disgusts them, specially those who are so weak that they rely on others.

Though i was happy to see my brother Piotr whom i haven't seen for about five years. It seemed that my feelings for my brother as his little sister have long since been wiped away from my being through the time i spend with those monsters. I can't love him the way I love him five years before.

Seeing him being thrown away by Andrew as easily as that confirmed to me that i – who has always longed for thrilling adventures and being able to kill people just like those monsters that I wouldn't be able to achieve if I stayed here – want to go with him.

Andrew was different to all those men that I have met, he always looks at me as if I'm so insignificant hiding behind the facade of a gaze of a friend, and that.. caught my attention.

So having those thoughts and nervous at the prospect of being rejected, i steeled my self as i.. called out to him.

Pyro's P.O.V

Seeing Bobby beating me – once again – with a power that he doesn't even want or deserved brought out the flames of hate that i have long since been trying to bury in my heart since i need a place i can call home.

While i have come to like being here in the Mansion. It still confuses me how the principal of our school, Charles Xavier, just forms a merry band of mutants to battle evil mutants and fight for equality when the normal humans have already shown us again and again and again that they "hate" us. They deeply fear us for the things that we can do, the things that we can reach. They're seething in jealousy that we – the mutants – are the one that won the evolutionary race.

So instead of being proud and amazed, they try to snuff us out in fear that we will inevitably take over them – which is what should be – for we are the worthy.

It confuses me how Charles Xavier fight for a useless cause when he can just will it to be and all of us – mutants – will be at the top of this world.

But seeing what Andrew Detmer did in the streets of New York awaken that sleeping hope inside me, the hope that one day, we will not be afraid to walk on the very earth that should have been already ours in the first place. I saw the state of the street, some unfortunate normal humans who was caught in the small cement tsunami-like disaster that Andrew made.

I saw how some cars with people in it are trying to get out of it pathetically. And then I saw a footage that seems to have been taken by a brave man that stays behind as he captures the scene where Andrew throws back the missile that the enemies thrown at them.

And then moments later, I saw with my very own eyes personally how he induced pain upon those agents without even lifting a sweat and beat one of the strongest teacher and the cocky new student named Scott effortlessly. It was a total beat down.

At that moment, I knew to myself that i can't take it anymore. I knew to myself that I can't hide and need to face my true calling.

At that moment..

I called to him..
