A mutant called Mastermind is roaming the streets of what appears to be Venice, Italy making illusions to people that he walks by to change himself into other people to hide his appearance. He walks by a light post that starts to trimmer, the mutant looks, up shocked. "Magneto!" He said, realizing that he has found him. Mastermind runs down the street, to try and get away from him. He was breathing heavily as he ran down the streets, hiding in the shadows. Another Magnetic hum filled the air and all the street lights busted, leaving the man in complete darkness. Mastermind gasped as he tried to see through the darkness. He was running until he felt something catch his legs, he fell face first to the ground and cried out as he was suddenly stopped. He looked down to see that two bubble looking circles had caught him by the feet and were holding him down. "Shields? uh no, Twenty five! Where are you?!" Mastermind shouted, turning to looked around from his place on the ground. "Don't bother looking. You know your illusions can't work on me Mastermind. Not when you can't make eye contact with me." the girl said standing invisibly beside him. Mastermind whimpered as he saw Magneto fly down from a rooftop, making himself seen by the man. "I had heard the rumors that twenty five was awake again.I had hoped they were just rumors...What do you want with me?" the man asked, sounding scared. The shields were released from the mans feet, but before he could scramble back up Magneto grabbed his shirt and hauled the man up. "I have a job for you." He said. "Twenty five, lets get out of here." Magneto said to the girl. She nodded and touched both men, turning them all invisible before Magneto flew into the air.

- Professor's Pov / Xavier Institute-

"Say's here the deactivation word is 'Susan.' If we say that to Marigold the winter solider shuts down." Logan said reading over the files that Mr.Wade had given them. "Yes, but this is only a temporary solution, you see Bucky tells us that the winter soldier program will always be inside Marigold's head. In order for us to get Marigold back we will have to weaken the winter solder from inside her mind, giving Marigold a chance to take over her body again." The Professor explained. "So what's the plan Charles?" Hank asked. "We will have to wait for the right time, I will have to try and dive into the girls mind and pull Marigold out so she can take control of her body..." The Professor said with a frown. The room was silent as everyone tried to think of a better idea. "I wonder why the deactivation word is Susan." Ororo said looking over a few files on the girl. "Susan...I wonder." Charles said looking over the files.

-Wanda Pov-

"Hey! Come on! I ain't got all day here!" The taxi driver shouted as he blew his car horn. Wanda was in the taxi in New York on the bridge, the traffic was terrible. Wanda looked out the window, her thoughts running with her until she heard an explosion from behind her. The top of the bridge bursts into flames and people ask what's going on as they get out of their cars. People start to panic and gaze upon a giant flame on top of the bridge that is shaped like a hand. Wanda get out of her taxi, frowning at the fire that could only be started by a mutant. Someone notices a flame on top of an oil tanker that was on the bridge and says it's going to blow. People start to run and scream. Wanda dodges people running by her, walking forward to get a closer look. She gasped when she noticed Pyro in the midst of the flames, hearing him laughing.

- Scott Pov-

"Whoa! See that!?" Jean said pointing to the bridge. The whole thing was in flames by this point, and it was easy for everyone to see in New York. Scott was driving by on the free way when Jean noticed it. "Let's go! And call the other X-men." Scott said, stepping down on the gas and speeding down the road towards the fire.

-Wanda Pov-

Wanda keeps an eye on Pyro, pushing her way through the screaming crowd, getting closer to him. She fires one of her energy beam at Pyro who falls off the bridge but before he can fall too far a shield forms around him, catching him and lowering him safely to the groun. Wanda frowned, so the assassin was here as well, just hiding. Pyro jumps over Wanda and drops something on the ground, which Wanda picks up. She didn't have any time to examine what Pyro had dropped before he fires his flame throwers from the railing of the bridge at the Oil Tanker, which Wanda is standing next to. It blows up sending Wanda flying through the air. She catches herself on the edge of the bridge with one hand, eventually getting her 2nd hand on the ledge too. The rods are on fire and start to break due to the heat. The bridge starts to corkscrew without the support of the rods on one side, the side Wanda is hanging from! Some cars fall into the river. A SUV begins to fall right next to Wanda causing her to loose grip with one hand, but she is able to regain that grip.
