"What?"
"You heard me, i want to release Magneto and have you look after him."
Xavier looked at me blankly for a few seconds before shaking his head.
"No, he is way too dangerous."
"Yeah... Caging him and letting him be at the mercy of the people he hates isn't going to cause any issues, hey?"
He stared straight at me, maintaining eye contact for a minute straight until he started shaking his head.
"I can't hold him here if he doesn't want to stay, i don't want to take his free will."
"You've already done that as soon as you put him in a prison though?"
There was an awkward silence as everyone was attempting to ascertain my motive.
"Look, I'm not being difficult i just think it would be better for him to stay around other people like him, IE, mutants. He's probably already extremely pissed, so the only way to calm him would be for you to contain him and slowly convince him of your perspective."
"He isn't completely wrong either, humans have had a bad record when it comes to mutants in the past... However, humans have become more sophisticated in technology since WW2, he has to be shown that his grudge could never be fully carried out, especially when there are human sorcerers, Iron Man, etc. Not without mass genocide and I think when he finds out about these 'elements' of humanity he will come around. If he doesn't well I'll just give him proof of god."
[Ah, you said it...]
The light around the room bloomed slightly as golden light slowly filtered towards everyone, gradually calming down as the words weren't sustained. everyone was spooked including me, I had a small sheen of sweat seep out from the skin on my forehead.
'Shit, forgot about that...'
I tried to hold a stoic look as i gazed straight at Xavier, who at this point had a contemplative expression.
"Fine... Let's do it."

Several hours after that meeting.
The president was sitting behind his desk as he worked through numerous folders of paperwork and consulted occasionally with advisors that were currently sat on the couches.
The room had recently been repaired as only a few bullet holes could be seen on the right side of the room. Multiple armed delta force operatives were currently protecting the Oval office as the security had been tightened for the whole entire White House, including the Pentagon, in fear of another Terrorist Attack by the harmful elements of the Mutant people.
The mutants had been an issue for the president for a while now as he didn't understand how to handle them. Ever since that attack however he knew they needed to be identified and monitored by the government, they are too much of a threat.
His hand reached for another file, the speed of his movements increasing as he noticed the document was about the recent activities of the mutants. His hands flipped page after page as he read on several mutants who could use fire and water. There was one that was somewhat concerning, he could regenerate infinitely and seemed to wear a suit, like some sort of cosplay character for Star Wars, except it was all red and black. Incredulity filled his mind as he read through some of the man's activities.
He continued until he was interrupted by one of his advisors who had one of the higher ups of the pentagon beside him.
"Mr. President, we've just gotten reports about a assault at a mansion in Westchester County, New York. There was a black operation conducted by a William Stryker, who, without permission, decided to go after a large school of mutants."
"Hmm, and? What happened for you to be in front of me right now with concerned looks on your faces?"
"Well sir, it seems that the mutants won against multiple special operations teams trained by the CIA and have captured Willian Stryker himself."
"Now that is an issue... Can we estimate the threat to the USA if all of the mutants in the USA declared war?"
"It would be astronomical sir, plus it would be tantamount to another civil war."
"No, we won't press matters any further with regards to war, does too badly in the poles and re-election is coming up in two years It wouldn't do well for me. Okay, send a negotiator to the mutants at this school and send an appropriate military guard for them."
"Ah, that won't be necessary..."
A voice came from the opposite side of the room, the president and other two people turning in shock and horror much like the invasion of the White House before. The military general took out his pistol and he clicked a button at the side of the table, numerous military personnel pouring out from the entrances and out of fake walls as the advisors on the couch all sprinted behind the newly joined spec ops, soon leaving the office.
"Well that's a bit dramatic..."
"Mr. President! Get down..."
"Okay enough NPC bullshit."
