Chapter 48 - Trask's Arrest

[May of 2012]

[Trask industries]

3rd PoV

The whole Trask Building began shaking as Magneto pointed his hands at it.

""Ahhh!" All the people around the vicinity of the building and those inside began screaming at the what they assumed as earthquake at first.

Avalanche, Toad, Juggernaut and Blob smirked at the scene while Mystique still had her expressionless face.

Waaaang! Waaaang!

Siren sounds resounded as five police mobile pulled up in front of the Building as police officer poured out and pointed their guns at Magneto as if they haven't learned their lessons.

Whoosh!

And as expected. Magneto didn't even gave them a glance as their guns left their hands involuntarily and floated to the air and then twisted — becoming metal scraps.

""Ahhh!"" The staff inside the building began pouring out as they ran like headless chicken everywhere.

Magneto also didn't gave them a glance as they weren't his target, he continued making the building shake without a word.

Waaaang!

This time, the sounds of police siren didn't come from the present police mobiles as the whole Brotherhood looked and saw numerous black cars speedily approaching their location along with two helicopters.

The cars has eagle symbol on its doors as they all also pulled up in front of the Building. A black bald man wearing long black coat came out followed by his trusted subordinate.

"Stop this, Magneto." Nick Fury said calmly with a stern look on his face.

Magneto didn't bother responding at him and just looked which Fury quickly realized to be his way of saying "Why?". He came to that conclusion because he also like to these kinds of things like a certain bat-costumed hero in another verse.

"The Pentagon itself has declared the arrest of Bolivar Trask for illegal manufacturing of weapons of mass destruction that is not only a danger to the mutantkind but also to the humanity itself. So i implore you to stop this so we can all talk this in a civilized manner." Fury said raised his voice as he doesn't know if Magneto can hear him when the latter is all the way up there.

Fury tensed as he saw Magneto still not responding while the male members of his Brotherhood behind seems to be cracking their knuckles.

The silence continued for about a minute with only the sounds of birds, air whipping and building shaking being heard.

Bamf!

When Magneto was just about to talk, a black smoke suddenly appeared in the air as the familiar broken glass-like visage of the Hero Andrew revealed himself.

Andrew also stretched his hands out and the shaking building suddenly stopped.

"?"

Magneto was surprised and couldn't help but try again but wasn't able to make the Building shake again just like before.

Andrew put down his hand after Magneto also calmed down as he turned his head to look at the old magnetic "Calm down, Erik. We have rules that we need to follow if not then we aren't any better than those anti-mutant bigots."

A subtle and unnoticeable amount of telepathic energy came out of him and made its way into Magneto's head, bypassing the protection that his helmet gives him.

Erik didn't suspect a thing as he calmed down and nodded slightly. He then waved his hand as he and his members all began descending and landed to the ground softly.

Juggernaut was grumbling a bit, muttering "No action?" quietly while Toad and Blob was the same. Avalanche and Mystique on the other hand just accepted the decision of Erik and didn't oppose it whatsoever.

Andrew also landed a few meters away from them as he started walking towards the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury made his professional aura more pronounced as his inner agent was screaming at him to do anything to find out who the hell was this featureless.

He also stepped forward and stretched a hand out "Nick Fury. Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Its nice to meet you. And also, I'm thankful for your help in the invasion."

Andrew accepted the handshake as he replied then after "Psionix. Don't worry about it, it was my unspoken job to use my abilities for the betterment and protection of our planet after all."

Fury released a breath of relief inwardly that he didn't even know he was holding as a slight smile made its way onto his face.

"I'm happy to hear that."

Andrew nodded and couldn't but think that maybe his acting skills is already approaching the realms of divine. "Anyway. What should we all do? We should move immediately as we don't know if that Trask have already escaped or what."

Fury just nodded as he turned around and signaled to tensed agents to follow him. He then started walking towards the entrance of the Building while the staff and civilians was all watching – encircling the whole building curiously.

Andrew also started walking to follow them while Magneto and his group also moved — intending to also follow them.

Fury's face twitched as he saw the latter following but the former just waved at him while saying "Don't worry, they won't make a mess. Why? Because I'm here."

Andrew cringed at his own plagiarized words but didn't show it outwardly or rather, cannot show it as he don't even have a face right now.

Fury didn't think that his words were weird and just attributed it to the fact that maybe the guy has a hero complex or something.

Magneto and his group on the other hand, especially the latter was a bit unnerved at the words of Andrew as he seems to be saying that he doesn't stand a chance against him if things go south. But he didn't pay it no mind any further as Andrew's Telepathy was making him calm but he didn't suspect a thing.

As they went inside, The civilians outside tried to follow them but the police officers and some agents that Fury left stopped them.

—–—

Just as they went inside and entered the lobby. A group of people went out of an elevator. The one leading them was a short old man followed by his guards who was pulling a blonde man that is constantly trying to break free from his cuff.

Bolivar Trask has a helpless look on his face as he ordered his men to hold Stephen Lang tight as they came face to face with Andrew, Fury and the Brotherhood or Mutants.

Magneto and his group glared at Trask but the latter surprisingly didn't act immediately on his thoughts – courtesy of Andrew.

Fury on the other hand stopped for a bit to feel the atmosphere of Magneto but seeing him just glaring, he released a breath of relief as he waved his hand to his agents.

"Let go of me! LET GO OF ME!!" Stephen Lang continued screaming which prompted Andrew to manipulate a small portion of the floor that they were all standing on and made it into a something that quickly covered the mouth of the former.

Fury slightly nodded as his ears finally managed to take a rest while Blob, Toad and Avalanche rubbed their ears in annoyance.

"He's the one who released the Sentinels." Trask simply said while pointing at Stephen Lang and didn't voice anymore thoughts as he knows that its useless in front of the power of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Though, he didn't forget to glare back at Magneto. But his glare turned in a curious look of a scientist when his eyes landed at the silent Andrew.

He watched the entire live and he saw how diverse was the abilities of this mutant called Psionix. He was curious to know if he got multiple mutation or if his mutant ability was the same of the woman that he experimented that let the Sentinels have their special capabilities.

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D stepped forward and cuffed Trask while the others went and also restrained the still trying to escape Stephen Lang.

Fury once again breathed a sigh of relief at the smooth process as he was actually expecting Trask to resist and even pull out those robots of his that is called Sentinels and fight them. Though, he once again sighed as he realized that he have been sighing in relief since before.

Andrew nodded at the smooth way that everything had gone as he stepped forward and started walking towards the elevator.

Fury's agent mode kicked in as he quickly asked "Where are you going?"

Andrew thought for a moment if he should reply but then responded since what he's about to do is gonna go public eventually "I'm gonna go to where that midget made his robots and to also save whoever he experimented on to make his robots have that copying ability."

Trask smirked inwardly as he couldn't help but imagine the look that these mutant scums will have on their faces when they found out that that woman is already dead by the time they managed to reach her.

Andrew looked at Trask with his featureless face as the latter tried to also glare back as a challenge but he gave up as the face of Andrew was creeping him out.

Fury just nodded as he then waved his hands to his trusted subordinate; Phil Coulson, to follow along them but the latter quickly waved his hands in weak refusal.

Fury bat-glared at Coulson for not following his orders but he just relented as he then just settled for a normal agent since he doesn't know if Magneto will suddenly snap and kill the former; and he doesn't want that.

The two unfortunate agents reluctantly followed Andrew and the Brotherhood while holding their useless guns tightly.

But a sudden enraged shout that seemed to come from the entrance of the building resounded within the entire lobby which prompted all of them to stop in their tracks.

"SHOOOORRRTTTTTYYY!!!"
