Children of the Atom

J'Zaki's new training program went perfectly. During the week that he was copying the journals, Ororo had been able to gather 25 individuals that were very capable in her eyes. And it turned out to be correct. Of the 25 new recruits, 24 of them were able to cast the most basic spell within a week, the last only needed another day to catch up. Within a few months, the group had mastered all of the low-tier spells listed in the journal, unknown to them that what they had actually been using was intermediate magic. J'Zaki just thought it was the most basic because these were the weakest spells that the 5 Masters had used during their battle.

Ororo was also doing a great job during the training. Even though she did not have J'Zaki's eyes, she was able to master every spell in the journal in only 2 months.

"My family has been the royal family because of our special bloodline. We are a family of powerful sorceresses. Every 3 generations, the first-born daughter is born with white hair and blue eyes, like myself. This represents our talent as sorceresses."

J'Zaki felt jealous of the girl's bloodline. Not only was she born with magical talent, but she also got a unique look to her. Although he was also born into a royal family, they didn't have anything special that awakened their bloodline. They weren't even guaranteed the heart-shaped herb.

After a few months of peace and quiet, J'Zaki was called to the throne room where he was assigned another mission by his father. As much as T'Chaka hated assigning these tasks to J'Zaki and further creating a political divide between his sons, he had no other choice. His 2nd son was far too efficient with how he handled his missions.

"J'Zaki. There is news that Klaue sold vibranium in New York to someone going by the name Charles Xavier and his oldest student Hank McCoy. They are harmless enough so just take the vibranium from them. No need to make things bloody.

Also, make sure that it is only you and Ororo. I want you to have someone here to look after those mages that you have been raising. No need to have the people worry."

"Understood, Father. I shall return soon," J'Zaki bowed to his father, not knowing that he was being set up.

The political unrest was becoming far too much for T'Chaka to handle. If he didn't do anything, Wakanda would break out into a civil war and risk exposing themselves to the rest of the world when they did so. So when Xavier spoke into his mind a few days prior to discuss bringing in J'Zaki and Ororo as students, he took the chance. He wanted to keep them away for as long as possible.

J'Zaki went to Shuri's lab and have her do basic recon for him but the packet she had given him was much smaller than the one she usually gave. Not thinking much of it and that it was really just a simple mission, J'Zaki and Ororo read through it, not knowing Shuri was forced to give them some fake information by her father.

"Charles Xavier. Born into money and decided to use it to make his own school. He is the founder of Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters. Has classes for high schoolers and college students that are taught by some decent teachers. Nothing too special about it. Guess they just bought the vibranium because they heard about the properties from somewhere."

"Hmm. Which makes our job even easier," Ororo concluded. "I do feel bad that we are stealing it though. He bought 100 grams of it after all."

"Then we will wire him the money after we are done. Not like we will miss a million or two."

With the information in their hands, the pair returned to the manor to pack up a week's worth of clothes. Since they didn't want to attract attention, the pair were planning to stay for a week and make their move on the 4th or 5th night.

J'Zaki and Ororo flew over to Kenya before boarding a plane to America. It took them over 12 hours to finally arrive in New York but when they landed, it was late at night. The perfect time to sneak into a school. But they had to wait. So Ororo and J'Zaki spent the week as a young couple on vacation without parental supervision.

Each day, they tried out various food around the city that one could not find anywhere in the Golden City. They also made sure to buy some clothes for Shuri since the girl had an interest in the styles and could never order them to Wakanda.

And just like that, 4 days passed. The duo was sitting at an outdoor cafe enjoying some pastries. Just when the pair were deciding if they wanted to after the vibranium that night or next when they heard the sounds of explosions nearby.

Down the street, they saw 5 teens/young adults fighting a group of giant purple robots. Most of the group seemed to be struggling, only the one firing red beams was doing a decent job of harming them.

The couple saw that this was nothing but trouble and were about to leave when a giant robot descended from the sky and pointed a glowing palm at them.

"Surrender, Mutant Scum, or face termination."

The couple shared a look before both of their eyes turned white.

"Fusillade! Blast Slice!"

Several flaming magical swords appeared around J'Zaki before they flew into the robot's hand, chest, and head before they detonated. The giant robot collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.

Storm clouds began to form above them and cover the entire city. Lightning arced between the clouds, slowly building up power.

"Give me some targets," Ororo requested of J'Zaki and he complied. He chanted another spell that fired small darts of electricity at each of the robots the teens were fighting in the distance. These darts acted like lightning rods and would attract electricity.

Ororo saw the targets were marked and stopped holding the lightning back. She let it rain down from the sky without worry. Several lightning bolts truck each robot, destroying them easily.

The teens originally fighting the robots looked at the scene in surprise. The enemies they were struggling with had been easily handled by someone else. But when they looked around to see who had helped them, the group couldn't find a trace of the couple.
