"They did beat them up" he thought about it and said it, Bruno saw how the X-Men arrived hit.
The only ones who seemed almost unscathed were Jean and Wolverine. Although Logan had his uniform ripped apart, then chances are he had recovered on the comeback. But the rest were another story.
"Go to the infirmary, I have to talk to them" getting out of the jet, it was Professor Charles. He looked quite pale. As if his butt had been kicked in a psychic battle, that was just Bruno's imagination.
Scott and the rest could only accept, there were many things to discuss. But it was an order.
Professor Charles had too much on his mind, but he managed to approach point by point carefully.
"Illyana, I have news, we managed to bring your brother," those were good news, but the Professor's face said otherwise, "But there were some complications."
//////////
The Professor recounted what happened, using Cerebro, they managed to find Piotr for a moment. But this disappeared shortly after, but this was enough to give the Professor a clue.
The location was a remote location in Canada, an underground construction, which under normal circumstances would have been very difficult to find. The mission was simple, finding Piotr and leaving, and it seemed that the mission would be simple, since the first person they found was Piotr. Unfortunately he was being manipulated by a psychic, so the Professor tried to break control. And if it had only been a psychic or two, then the Professor was sure to do it. But the commotion that took the Professor when he detected 6 psychics in that place.
The Professor and Jean had to join forces to break the bond. And during all that time a powerful team of mutants arrived.
The wounds told the rest of the story, and although they managed to escape with Piort without losing any. Piort was now in a coma.

"Can you speak Professor, I don't think you brought me to your office to show me your collection of books" Bruno saw the sun for the first time, as it filtered from the window of Charles's office. But it was obvious that the Professor had quite deep thoughts.
The words the Professor wanted to say were carefully thought out. But in the end he wanted to speak honestly, and so with a little luck things will not go so badly.
"First I think I owe you an apology, I know that it must have been difficult to stay locked up for a month, and from this point I will say things directly, since you have proven quite mature. And my reason behind this was simple, I couldn't trust you, but the main thing was because your powers are very dangerous "a risky move, but Charles thought it was the right thing to do.
Bruno could not deny it. If the situation were reversed, Bruno would have been more brutal, since if the person with those powers were insane, then this would be a disaster, "I agree Professor, I would do the same, but I think I showed that I can control myself" Bruno had no no clear goal, and finding it from the comfort of a mansion could be a good thing, as long as there aren't too many restrictions.
"I think so too" Charles was on the right track, now came the hard part, "But very turbulent times are coming, as we also have other groups of mutants. I believe that there is a future where humans and mutants can coexist, but some mutants think differently, I know this question is premature, but what do you think about this issue? "
Bruno sighed, from any perspective he thinks Charles's ideals are too flawed, because he dehumanizes the human being. The world is cruel, and to think that two races could compete on equal terms and coexist was childish, the humans did not even treat their own equally, less the mutants. But still in this kind of world there are several ways to reach a mutual agreement.
Conquering the planet using force could sound like fun, who never thought of doing it. But when someone gains power, that's when he sees his character, so Bruno stops that kind of thinking. But lack of ambition is a sign of weakness, and the white-haired mutant doesn't plan to stay in the same place. But for now the ideals of both Charles and Bruno pointed to the same place.
"I like the current rules that the world has Professor", full of holes and gaps Bruno added in his mind, "And I still have a debt to pay, you rescued where I was locked up, so I support it", Bruno definitely had no good morale, but at least knows the most basic principles.
That was a relief for Charles, but now came the most difficult part, "I also have something important to tell you, at a much more personal level, it is about your father"
//////////////
"Son of Magneto, that was an unexpected turn" Bruno was on a cliff looking at the sea. This was a good time to reflect on the future. Although he had some memories, nothing about his goals and aspirations. Having power and not using it is silly, but using it for no purpose was more foolish. So for now one step at a time.
The Professor told Bruno that a group of mutants was forming, and it was a matter of time for a war to break out. He wanted to know whose side he was on, since his father would most likely be in that war. Obviously that detail didn't matter to Bruno, but it was silly to comment on it, so he just kept silent until the Professor finished.
Things got hotter with each passing day, but something this big should take years. So at the moment it was a good time to relax. Although Bruno felt he was forgetting something. But the mutant let it pass, it shouldn't be that important if he forgot.
It was a good view, the sun was about to disappear on the horizon, ending a rather calm sunset, as it gave way to night.
Bruno started to get sleepy, he already fulfilled his little dream of seeing the sun. Now he had to see the way that the laboratory lend him, since inside his mind there were innumerable ideas that appear at every moment, and the more he trains his mind, his powers will be stronger.
On the way to the mansion, Bruno found a small group waiting for him.
Professor Charles, Loga, Scott and Dr. Mccoy, they had different expressions. But Bruno could feel not very harmonious vibes, but this did not prevent the white-haired mutant to come and break the silence with a smile.
"Do I officially join the X-Men?" Bruno said it jokingly, he had no intention of entering that group. And it seemed like they definitely wouldn't let him in.
"Bruno, things are a little tense here." Charles had another big headache. And especially when he managed to reach an agreement with him. But Bruno's actions cast doubt on Charles's thoughts.
The hand on his staff clenched, Bruno could feel that the X-Men could attack at any moment. It wasn't important, but it would be really embarrassing to borrow the lab after murdering Charles's students. But as a pacifist, Bruno never gave the first blow. And Bruno expected Charles to take that into account when he asked for the lab.
Unaware of all those thoughts, Charles had to use his powers in the X-Men to prevent something violent, and forced himself to use his powers to deter his team.
From the other side, Bruno felt that this group was having a great telepathic discussion, and somehow he was being the main topic. Since more than once Bruno was singled out, and most likely it was not to congratulate him on his excellent haircut.
Bruno wasn't sure if any fight started, it really wasn't important. Although he still had a good deal of disappointment at letting that wizard go, but he was definitely on the mutant's to-do list to pay him a visit. So a fight would be a good way to vent nonconformities.
But there was no fight, the X-Men fell back again leaving Charles and Bruno alone.
"I guess that wasn't because of my welcome party, was it?" Bruno said as he returned to rest putting both hands on his cane.
Charles had to massage his head, while he began to question his actions.
"I think I told you that I will be honest, so I will say it directly. The X-Men don't think you're a trustworthy person "and many other things, but Charles declined to go into detail.
Bruno knew that there was a small contradiction, but he did not think it was that serious, "This is the world Professor, there will always be intolerable people, but let's not let this mishap divide us, although I think I can overcome this kind of harassment if I had access to the laboratory "Bruno saw an opportunity and took it, he really could be a pretty shameless man.
Several beads of sweat formed on Professor Charles's forehead, but it was better to clear up the misunderstanding, "It's actually because of your actions."
The Professor told Bruno that after their discussion in the afternoon, his students found a corpse, and after watching the security videos, it was a surprise for the Professor to see how Bruno cold-bloodedly murdered an intruder who had definitely surrendered. And executing someone while on his knees in such a brutal way could make many uncomfortable.
(So that's what I forgot), a pretty serious misunderstanding that Bruno didn't intend to do his part to fix it, so he went to the main topic.
"It seems like I'm not very welcome in this place, so the question is, do you still want me to stay?" Bruno thought of his options, without documents and being a mutant, the perfect combination for problems.
The worst thing was that Bruno definitely wanted a laboratory, where he would find a place with that technology, SHIELD ?, with Stark, or maybe Hydra, there were also the fantastic four. But definitely none of them would be as accommodating as Professor Charles.
Building his own place would also be an option, but right now Bruno had priorities, he had to train his body and his powers, so for now there was still a good reason to stay in the mansion.
A tough decision, the Professor personally thought that getting Bruno on the right path would be very difficult, and he still has the will to help him. But the bond within the X-Men could be broken.
If he were an ordinary mutant, Charles would try to help Bruno, but not at the mansion. But Bruno was not an ordinary mutant, he could be a very powerful companion, and the risk was worth it. Especially when Charles couldn't imagine beating Bruno, so it was best to keep Bruno as close as possible.
"I still want him to stay here" Charles could win the dissatisfaction of some. But the war was coming. The only thing Charles could hope for was to successfully teach Bruno.Charles just hoped he wasn't raising a wolf.
"So that's fine with me." Bruno could see Charles's intentions miles away, but it really didn't matter. The important thing was the benefits.
