Magneto (first class short story)

Chapter 3

In the next days nothing really exciting happened. I was thinking about Erik and what I have said to him. Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh to him....

But I didn't know what he wanted from me already. In first place he devoured me with his sight and then he throwed me away like some trash. I was very confused by now.

As the fourth day past by and fall night we were met again in our little room. Meanwhile there was a new glass in the window. More alcohol make more good ambiance and we talk about nearly everything. Then two soldiers passed by the window and bullied us. They laughed but Hank stood up and closed the curtain between the two glasses. Everybody was quite.

"Assholes!", Banshee said. Suddenly we heard some gunfire. Everybody started at this sound and looked at each other.

"What was this?", I asked. Nobody answered me. Again gunfire and screams. Hank opened the curtain again. The men were gone. Where are they!? Very sudden a man fall from the sky and crashed hard into the ground. Raven and Angel screamed scarcely. Then a person appeared and grabbed some soldiers and disappeared again.

Suddenly a storm raged on at the other side of the place. There were the prototype of cerebro and soldier been flunged in the storm. Darwin pulled us back.

"Ha exactly. Stay in the room. I think not!", Darwin said and we ran to the door. We opened it and ran through the corridor. There were soldiers who said we must stay back. We won't but they pushed us back. There were gunfire and a bullet touched me on my arm. We ran back to the room.

"What should we do now?", I asked. Darwin peeked around.

"Everything allright?", he asked me. I nodded. In the corridor one soldier said:

"Please. The mutants are in there.Just let the normal people go!"

Then there were a shot and silence. A man stepped through the door. He worn a helmet and came straight towards us. He smiled. On the left and right a black haired man and some kind of devil came to us.

"Hello my friends!", the man with helmet said.

"I'm Shaw and search for followers. We are all the same. Brothers and sisters of the same species. We belong together. As a team! Who doesn't want to be in my team is our enemies of course." We looked angry at him.

"Who want to come with me and live like kings and..", he peeked at Angel and continued :

"...and queens." He delayed his hand to her. She lay hers in his and went with him.

"Angel!", Darwin said stunned.

"He's right. Why should we fight for someone who doesn't like us?", she asked him. He was quiet. Then they went out of the room to the little garden. Darwin and Havoc beating each other and then Darwin went after them.

"Wait. I comming with you!", he said. Shaw smiled.

"Then my friend. What is your power?"

"I can adapt myself." Shaw nodded and invited Darwin to their little party.

"Alex now!", Darwin yelled as he protect Angel with his powers. Alex used his power and shoot at him. Unexpected Shaw absorbed the rays and we were surprised. Shaw stepped to Darwin who seams very surprised as well.

"You want to protect your mutant friends. Very gently of you but not good for you. Now adapt to this!", Shaw said to Darwin and put a little glowing ball in his mouth.

"Nooo!!", I screamed and ran towards them. Then they disappeared. Darwin changed his form all the time and switched between stone, steel and some sort of wood. Then he turned into ashes and fell down. Raven screamed and I was just afraid. My arm was bleeding as we walk outside for searching for surviver.

A little time later Charles, Moira and Erik came back. I was in the background as Charles asked us what was happened. Havoc and Banshee told him everything.

"Shaw!", Erik grunted.

"What have he done?"

"He tooked Angel, hurt Amy and...", said Banshee and was interrupted by Erik.

"Amy? Were is she?", he asked upset.

"I'm here!", I said quietly and step forward. Erik took me and pull me to him.

"W..what...", I want to asked but he interrupted me.

"Everything okay?" he asked. Charles started a new conversation  'we should have our own team' with the other mutants and the CIA agent who were comming.

"Y..yeah...but why did you asked?". I was confused. He didn't answered, just pick my arm in his hands and examine my arm were the bullet touched me. It doesn't bleed anymore but it looked horrible.

"Come with me!", he commanded.

"Why should I?", I asked him pissed.

"Just come!", he said. I relent and follow him. We went to his room and he pushed me in.
