Baxter Stockman's Lab 2:50am

"So... I have a question for you Mr. Magnus." said Stockman, moving around vials of green liquid on the table "If your plans are to make a better world for mutants and to eradicate non-mutants, how do I know you won't do the same to me?"

"Because Stockman..." started Magneto, leaning back in the patient chair "We're very much alike, you and I."

"How's that?" asked Stockman.

"After telling your story to us... I can see we both have faced the same persecutions. Mine came by Nazis, yours came by the Foot."

"Yet here I am... still doing their bidding." sighed Stockman while putting the green liquid into a needle "You may feel a little pinch."

     Doctor Stockman, in his chair, rolled himself towards where Magneto was sitting with the needle in his right hand. With steady movement Stockman put the needle into Magneto's skin, pushing the liquid in. When he finished he threw the needle away and helped Magneto to his feet.

"Thank you." said Magneto weakly.

"Don't worry, that grogginess should wear off in a few minutes. But I highly recommend not taking anymore."

"I thank you for the help doctor." said Magneto "And I'm sure you're going to keep your end of the bargain as well."

"Of course." answered Stockman, giving Magneto a card key "By the way, everything you said about us being the same couldn't be farther from the truth."

     And with those words Magneto left the lab and went back to the hideout.

"Alright fatso! I ain't askin' again! Where is it?!?" yelled an angry and impatient Bebop, picking Mr. Thompson up from his desk chair.

"I-I-I don't know, now p-please, p-p-put me down."

     Bebop, in a fit of rage threw Thompson to the ground, aiming his laser gun at him.

"We can do this easy way or the hard way old man! Which one do you prefer?!?"

"I prefer the hard way."

     Surprised, Bebop turned around to see Leonardo and Donatello at the office door, ready to take him on.

"Stupid turtles, this ain't no business of yours!" shouted Bebop, aiming his gun at the two turtles.

"Ah ah ah." said Nightcrawler, teleporting onto the ceiling, grabbing the gun with his tail and slinging out the window "You shouldn't be playing with guns."

"Why you!" screamed Bebop, turning around to get his hands on Nightcrawler, but missing.

"If I were you I'd leave my little blue friend alone."

"And the hell are you supposed to be?!?" said Bebop, turning in Wolverine's direction.

"I'm yer worst nightmare porkchop." growled Wolverine, retracting his claws and going straight for Bebop.

     After a bit of a scuffle the office door shattered into and Bebop fell into the hallway floor not knowing what hit him.

"Not even a challenge." chuckled Wolverine.

"Alright, whatever you freaks want, it's right there in the bottom drawer of my desk, j-just take it and leave me alone!" said Thompson, grabbing the attention of the mutants.

"Freaks?" said Wolverine "Hey bub, we just saved your life."

"I didn't need savin'! I would have been just fine if you mutants didn't show up!" shouted Thompson, while cowering in the corner.

"Gosh, do you guys get this all time?" asked Nightcrawler.

"You get use to it." answered Donatello.

"That's for damn sure." said Wolverine, crossing his arms.

"Come on guys." started Leonardo "Let's get what we need and get out of here."

     After searching the desk the Turtles and the X-Men left the office while Bebop still lay unconscious on the floor.

"Come on Toad!" shouted Pyro, walking around the corner of the hallway as the Turtles and the X-Men left.

"You sure it's what Shredder needed for that thing he was thingmajig of his?" asked Toad.

"Yeah, I'm sure... wait."

     Pyro and Toad stopped in the middle of the hallway, looking down at Bebop.

"The Turtles and the X-Men must've done this." snarled Pyro "Welp, pick him up and let's get a move on."

"Why do I gotta carry him?!?"

"Cause I'm holding the thingamabob, ya twit!"

"God I'm bored." said Juggernaut, sitting on a broken down couch.

"Magneto should be here any moment." said Mystique, just before the door opened "Magneto. Did you get it."

"Oh yes. I have everything we need." smiled Magneto, flashing the card key in Mystique's direction.
