New Steps Part 2

When I approach to Emma, I say:

"Psylocke already told me, so welcome"

"Thanks Alex, I accepted working for you because Psylocke is on your team and also because I consider you an interesting person" Emma said.

Listening to her words, I agree.

With this I already have one more member, I just have to look better and find more members for my team.

When I was in my thoughts, I did not realize that the Mystique group approached me, until Mystique speaks to me.

"Alex, I want to help you find those books and destroy them"

Curious I ask her:

"I understand why you want to do it but I suppose they will accompany you, so what about Magneto, will he let them go?"

"Yes, we want to accompany her" Polaris said.

"For our father don't worry, since his fight with you, he has been calm and allows us to do what we want," said Wanda carefree.

I lift the eyebrow at what Wanda said about Magneto, but I decided not to comment about it. I only say:

"I see"

After all it is not a bad idea, besides if I can convince them to work for me during the time they accompany me to find the books, it would be a good thing.

When I finish thinking about it, I agree to work with them to find books.

Now my group is made up of Psylocke, Wanda, Pietro, Mystique, Polaris, Laura and Emma.

I can say that this team is strong.

We returned to New York and headed to the Sanctum Sanctorum. When I was going to knock, the door opens. The culprit that is Wong, looks at me and says:

"Welcome Alex Wayne"

"Do not do that Wong, you could kill me from the scare" I said jokingly.

He just looks at the new group of people I brought with me and says:

"The Ancient One told me that it allows the stay of those who accompany you"

The Mystique group was surprised when they realized that I was staying with the Ancient One.

"So you're living with the Ancient One?" Wanda asked.

"Well, with how dangerous it's outside, this is a good place for children for now"

When I finish talking, a group of children approaches me.

"Brother Alex, Laura, you guys are back" Adrian said.

"Hello brat, how have you guys been?" I asked him.

"We are fine, Teacher Wong will take us to Tibet for our training"

I look at Wong.

Feeling my gaze, Wong explains to me:

"After the Riri incident, the Ancient One has given the order to teach them the basics of the Mystic Arts"

"I don't say anything, not everyone is as curious as Riri but it's good that they learn a little"

I realize that Riri is not with them so I ask Wong:

"Where is Riri right now?"

"The Ancient One has her practicing"

After settling everyone into their new rooms, I decided to rest for the time being.

Because for a long time I will be very busy.

Gambit POV

Unknown Location

Walking through this place again, always makes me feel unwell.

Upon reaching a large room that looked like a laboratory, I see only one person.

He is a tall pale thin man.

The man seems busy with his research and without taking his eyes off the microscope he says:

"Gambit, that you come to see me means that you found her"

"I found her, but now she's guarded by Alex Wayne" I told him.

"Oh, do you mean the young man who protects those mutant children?" asked the man.

"Yes... so what do you plan to do now Nathaniel?"

The man known as Nathaniel Essex, smiling says:

"For the moment nothing, I'm busy with some matters but once I finish, I'll go for her"

Seeing that Nathaniel no longer spoke, I left the place.
