Chapter 1: Prologue
Chapter Text
Peter flopped onto his sofa, breaking into the pentagon was fun. The earful his mum gave him was not fun ("your only 14, if I see those men again they'll be lucky to make it out alive"). She'd grounded him until further notice. He was only allowed to go to school (Even thou he didn't turn up most days) so he spent most of his days in his basement. This day was like any other he went to school, ignored his teachers and screwed around, he left his homework in his bag planning too ignore it until the last minute. Peter put his Walkman over his ears and began to listen to the last record he had in, Time in a bottle. As he listened to the music he hear some noise up stairs.
"PETER COME UP HERE, SOME PEOPLE WANT TO TALK TO YOU"
Walking up the stairs Peter saw two men, the where dressed in matching close wearing sun glasses,
"Pietro Maximoff?"
"I go by Peter but, Yes?"
"You need to come with us"
"I'm sorry" his mother cut in "Peter's 14 what do you want with him"
"That's confidential"
"As his parent and guardian I deserve to know wha-"
"We're FBI," The man on the left pulled out a badge, "We need to bring him down to the station, routine questions"
"N-"
"Mum" Peter cut in "Its fine, I didn't do anything illegal. I'll be back before you know it."
She sighed then turned to the men "If he's not back by dark I'll be at that station myself"
"Yes Ma'am"
The trip to the station was awkward, one of the men drove while the other sat in the back next to him. When they got to the station he pushed into a room and cuffed to the table. After what felt like hours a man entered the room,
"Pietro Maximoff correct?"
"Yes"
"I have a couple questions I would like you to answer truthfully"
"Ok"
"Great. Where you involved in the breaking out of Erik Lehnsherr from the pentagon."
"Nope, who even is Erik"
"Do you have any relation to the man know as Magneto,"
"I've seen him on the news, never met the man thou"
"Your telling the truth?"
"Yeah, why would I lie"
He was left alone after that. No one came to uncuff him, Peter didn't even know if they remembered he was there. Just as Peter was debating trying to dislocate his thumb to get out the cuffs the door opened.
"Peter?"
"Yes, are you letting me go?"
"We just have one more question," a couple more men walked in behind him holding something,
"You are a mutant correct,"
Something felt off,
"Can't you see that on my file?"
"I'd like to here it from you,"
"...yes"
One of the men grabbed his hair shoving his head against the table,
"WHAT THE-"
Before Peter could finished his sentence he felt a prick in his neck,
"Don't worry," the man said "we'll talk soon"
"Where is my son?"
"Ma'am we have no record of a Maximoff being brought in for questioning"
"Some officers took him from our house. They said they where bringing him here"
"You let your underage son leave with strange men?"
"They had the badges, WHERE IS MY SON?!"
"Magda Maximoff?"
She turned seeing a young man standing in a hallway,
"Yes?"
"Can you follow me?"
She followed the man into an interview room,
"Where is my son?"
"Pietro?"
"Yes. What have you done with him?"
"He's aggreged to take part in a special program"
"What?"
"As payment for not serving prison time for breaking into the pentagon he will take part in a trial."
"You blackmailed him?!"
"No he agreed"
The man pulled out small recording device,
"Are you willing to take part in this experimentally trial" the man's voice asked
"...yes" her son's voice responded
She started to cry, "Why..."
"It will be a two year trial, he will write you letters but you will not be able to see or contact him though any sort of technology"
"..."
"Thank you for your cooperation"
Stryker left the room, he was lucky for the doctored audio, she didn't seem like the type to give up easily. But with this "proof" there was nothing she could do.
Walking out to the back he climbed into the truck. The subject was restrained to a metal bench at his legs, arms, torso, and head.
"Sir"
"Yes?"
"The file we currently have on him," the guard handed over a file.
Subject 31 - Pietro Django Maximoff
Mutation - Superhuman Speed, Enhanced Physiology, Accelerated Perception, Accelerated Metabolism
Familia connections - Father - UNKNOW

- Sister(twin) - Wanda Maximoff - DECEASED

The was a few pages of his school reports but nothing of not there.
"Well, looks like we have the perfect subject."
Chapter 2: Day 1
Notes:
Implied rape
Chapter Text
Peter's head throbbed as he came too. As he sat up he looked around, he was in a blank concert room. Noticing a weight around his neck he lifted his hand, a metal collar was fastened around his neck.
"What-"
"Subject 31, I see your awake," a voice rung from a speaker somewhere in the room,
"What, I'm not a subject, what are you talking about!?"
An eletric shock caused Peter to fall to the ground,
"Stay calm subject 31, any anger will result in punishment"
"What are you talking about?"
The voice didn't respond.
Peter sat against the wall waiting for anyone to remember him.
Peter didn't know how long it was until the door opened, two armed guards entered the room.
"Subject 31 stand and turn around,"
"What the hell is going on!?"
"Do not resist"
"I want some bloody answers, where even am I?!"
The first guard stepped forward, as Peter tried to step back he grabbed Peter turning him around and pushing him against the wall.
"LET ME G-"
Another shock went though the collar allowing the guard to put his hand into cuffs,
"Walk"
Peter was pulled towards the second guard. The two dragged him down concert hallways into a new room. The forced him onto a metal medical bed, strapping him down.
"LET ME GO YOU-"
A gag was shoved into his mouth cutting off his sentence. Once the two men finished the left closing the door behind them, leaving him alone.
It felt like hours before the door opened again.
"Subject 31," the door opened. Peter recognized the man as the one who asked the final question, "I'll remove your gag if you promise to be quiet" Peter nodded,
Once his gag was recovered he spoke "Where are we? What are you doing? Why am I here?"
"I'm your new handler, subject 31"
"Handler, why the hell do I need a handler? My names Peter not subject 31."
"You have no name, your a number,"
"NO I-" a shock ran from the collar,
"Do not resist, this will be easier if you just corporate."
"I WON'T CORPORATE, THIS ISN'T FUCKING LEGAL-"
The gag was shoved back in his mouth,
"Your a mutant" The man scoffed "You don't have rights"
The man turned back to the door where two people in doctors coats stood,
"He's all yours,"
A mask slide over Peters face and everything went black.
Stryker looked into the operation room as the doctors worked,
"Sir" a guard walked up to him
"Yes?"
"We have the results from the blood test, you should see this"
Looking down at the paper he was handed a smile crossed his face,
PATERNAL TEST
PIETRO MAXIMOFF - SON
ERIK LENSHERR - FATHER
99% MATCH
Looking back into the room where the boy lay, Stryker began to think. He had one of the most wanted men's child. He could use him as a bargaining tool, force Magneto to turn himself in? No, he'd promised the president a weapon, a solution. He needed to deliver on that promise. The doctors where moving around the subject dissecting him. Figuring out what made him tick.
Stryker turned away, he needed to brief the boss.
Peter felt himself being dragged by two people. As he opened his eyes he saw the hallway he'd been dragged down before. The two men shoved him into a cell. It was not the room from before this one had a mattress pushed to one side of the wall. As Peter tried to sit up he felt a hand between his shoulder blades pushing him back down.
"Not so fast pretty boy"
Peter tried to speak but the gag was still in his mouth,
"Boss said we could do what ever"
"As long as he can still walk" the other guy scoffed standing by the door,
"yeah, yeah, doesn't change my plan"
"Be quick, I want a turn before we get rotated"
Peter's pants where pulled down, he tried to turn over, using his arms to push the man off.
"Damn, brat" the man struggled restraining Peters arms, Peter tried to kick the guy, but it didn't stop him.
"He's got spirit, I'll give him that"
"Just be quick, we have to move in 20"
Peter felt the mans hands roaming his body, he tried to scream, to fight, to do anything. But the man was stronger. Peter looked at the wall.
20 minutes,
The hands roamed,
15 minutes,
The pressure increased,
10 minutes
"Your turn now",
5 minutes
It will all be over soon.
Chapter Text
"UP"
Peter shot up. The voice was right outside the cell,
"SUBJECT 31 FACE THE WALL WHILE WE ENTER"
Peter's legs tensed, when the door opened he'd make a run for it.
The door began to creek open, Peter ran. Before he could make it down the corridor the collar activated. Electricity brought him to his knees.
"Nice try" A man pulled him up "Try that again and you'll regret being born"
Another set of hands grabbed him pulling him down the corridor.
When they finally stopped he was thrown into a new room. Looking around he saw the floor was covered in tiles each with a number and a letter painted on.
"Subject 31," a disembodied voice spoke "A number and a letter will be read out, you are to go to that tile as fast as possible, if you fail to compile you will be punished. You may use your mutation."
"I'M NOT DOING SHIT" Peter yelled towards where he thought the voice was coming from,
An electric shock pushed him to his knees,
"3A"
Peter refused to move
Another electric shock coursed through his body,
"Move to the tile or you will be punished, 9J"
Peter stood up slowly, looking around trying to see the tile,
An electric shock pushed him back his knees,
"Faster 31, 6E"
Peter stood up, finding the tile he ran to it.
"Good, 3G"
Peter ran
"Good, 7H"
Peter ran
"3C"
"8I"
"5F"
"1B"
"10E"
"4C"
"7J"
"9I"
"9I"
Stryker watched him run,
"What's his average time"
"About 2 seconds Sir"
"He was faster at the Pentagon, why is he slower now?"
"Its the time it takes him to find the next tile" another researcher spoke up "Once he memorisers each spot he's speed should increase"
"Ok. I want him in here for 12 hours a day, memorising coordinates for 5 and in medical for 3."
"That's 20 hours, he would get exhausted he needs to rest at some point,"
"He's our new weapon," Stryker turned back to the room, "He doesn't need rest"
Peter didn't know how long he was running for, but eventually the numbers stopped. Peter slumped to the ground gasping for air.
"Up"
A guard had entered the room. When he didn't immediately move the guard dragged him up. He didn't have the energy to fight back.
Peter was dragged though a different corridor. He thought it was different, they all looked the same. Peter was shoved into a chair. In front of him was a screen.
"Hello 31," a new man entered the room,
"I have a name"
The man ignored him, "I'll be teaching you a very important skill."
"What reading"
Peter's head was jerked to the side, his check stung from the slap,
"Don't talk back" his voice kept the cheery tone "Now listen"
Peter's head was turned to the screen,
New York - 40.7128° N, 74.0060° W
London - 51.5072° N, 0.1276° W
Warsaw - 52.2297° N, 21.0122° E

Athens - 37.9838° N, 23.7275° E
California - 36.7783° N, 119.4179° W
Peter tried to turn away,
"Ah, ah, ah," the man teased "keep watching, you need to remember this"
"Why the hell do I need to remember this"
"You don't need to worry your pretty little head about it. Just keep watching."
"Hey Mum, trials good so far. Foods not great but it is what it is. Just a physical test today. Love you"
Magda replayed the message,
"Hey Mum, trials good so far. Foods not great but it is what it is. Just a physical test today. Love you"
It sounded like her son, the same voice. But he never spoke like that. He sounded different. She tried to explain it to Lorna, that her brother would be away for a while. But she couldn't bare to say it. That he'd signed his childhood away. She looked at the piece of paper in her hand.
Xavier's School for Gifted youngest
Charles Xavier
Professor
1407 GRAYMALKIN LAN, SALEM CENTER
WESTCHESTER COUNTRY, NEW YORK
(914) 555 1407
She thought about dialling, something was off about this "trial". Why would Peter agree to this? But it was fully legal. She saw the paperwork, she heard the recording. She put the card into the draw. It was two years, they would survive.

"42.3601N,71.0589W. Capture alive."
He ran, as he arrived he saw the man. Spikes, dark hair, pale. Grabbing the back of his neck he returned.
"What the-"
The man couldn't finish his sentence before the guards descended. Clipping a collar around his neck.
"DO NOT RESIST. RESISTENCE WILL BE MET WITH FORCE"
He stood to the side letting them work. As he watched the man being dragged away his handler joined him,
"Good job my Silver-bullet"

Plot next chapter
Chapter 7: Day 1241
Chapter Text
Raven walked down the street, she needed to save this boy. They'd lost so many mutants in the last year. No one even knew what happened, they just vanished. One moment standing there the next gone.
Entering the bar she saw a cage in the middle. A boy with wings stood victorious as another was dragged away.
"-the Amazing Nightcrawler"
Cheers filled the room as a blue boy was shoved into the ring. Raven froze, it was him. She hadn't seen him since that night 15 years ago, she'd never forgotten his face though. The marks, the tail just like his father. She snapped out of it, she had a job to do.
"Hey beautiful, fights over that way"
"I'm more interested on what's over here"
As the man let down his guard she grabbed his head slamming it into the wall. Running to the electrical box she cut off the power to the cage. As the cage powered down chaos broke out. People began to run, running against the tide Raven managed to reach the boy,
"follow me"
Grabbing him the world disappeared then reappeared. They where now outside the bar in an alley as people began to flood the street.
"WHERE IS HE" A security guard yelled
Raven shifted into the man she'd knocked out hiding the boy under a coat.
"he went that way" gesturing in a random direction,
The man ran off,
"You are her"
"I'm no one, we need to get out of here"
"-Caliban, knows who you are"
"I just need papers for him."
"We'll Caliban has two very juice leads for you,"
"What"
"This is not for free"
Raven forked over the cash,
"Caliban heard of an old friend of yours, one who controls metal"
Raven froze, Erik? She didn't know where he was, she thought he would be dead, or in some foreign prison.
"a man who controls metal had been reported in Poland, he had a wife and kids"
"Had?"
"Found dead this morning"
She'd talk to Charles when she dropped Kurt off,
"And the second thing?"
"About the Silver-bullet"
Her blood froze,
"Their a rumour"
"I assure you, he's very really"
Caliban pushed a photo across the table, it was blurry but she could make out a person, a young adult with silver hair,
"this is the man your looking for,"
"Do you have anything else?"
"No"
"Not even a name?"
"He's a ghost. That's all Caliban has. We are closed now."
DAY 1242
"We need to talk Charles" Raven spoke barging into his office,
"I'm a bit busy now" Charles said looking up from paperwork
"Its important"
"Nice to see you two" another voice spoke
"Alex" she started to smile "what are you doing here?"
"Dropping Scott off"
Scott was Alex's younger brother, she'd heard about him a little.
"His a mutant?"
"Takes after his older brother" Charles laughed
"I'm so sorry" Raven knew how hard it had been training Alex, now he had to do it all again.
"What did you need to talk about?"
"Two things?"
"Go ahead"
"One, I have a lead on Erik"
Alex looked away, after Cuba no one liked to mention him,
"What?"
"He was living with a family in Poland"
"Was?"
"They where found dead this morning"
A silence fell across the room,
"Who died" Hank asked entering the room,
"She has a lead on Erik, he was living in a family in Poland, they where found dead this morning" Alex filled him in,
"Can you look for him with Cerebro?" Raven asked,
"Yes, what was the second lead?"
"Its about Silver-bullet"
"Its a ghost story," Charles laughed, "Something to make mutants register, its not a real weapon"
"N-"
"She's right,"
The group turned to the man standing in the door way,
"...erik?"
"I'm sorry old friend, I didn't know where to go"
"You'll always be welcome here. Lets get you some tea"
Once the immediate shock of one of the most wanted terrorist walking though the door, Erik told them what happened.
"I saved a man. Molten metal tipped over the side of the cradle. I pushed it back in, I though no one saw, I was wrong. The police came that night, they tried to arrest me. There was a struggle and..." he trailed off,
"I'm sorry old friend"
"I used some old acquaintances to get here. Their was three of us in the container in the middle of the ocean, suddenly one of them disappeared as if they had never been there. A turned to see if they had moved to see the other man dropped dead, throat slit. Before I knew it there was a knife at my throat as well, I had had a force field of sorts stopping metal from touching me. That's the only reason I'm not dead."
"And you think its this Silver-bullet?"
"They had silver hair and moved faster then a bullet. The shoe fits."
"So they have a mutant killing mutants?" Alex asked,
"I believe so."
"What mutant would agree to kill other mutants"
"We have a mutation to go off, Superhuman Speed" Alex said
Erik and Charles made eye contact,
"I think I know a guy,"
"Not him" Hank groaned
The car pulled up in front of the blue suburban house,
"Who even is this guy?" Raven asked,
The two had refused to answer questions the whole trip. Alex had stayed behind to watch the mansion and Hank "didn't want to be around that boy"
"A guy we knew about, I think three years ago."
"How did you two meet him?"
"He broke Erik out the pentagon"
"... he what"
"Yes, he is quite fast."
Getting out the car the three made there way up to the front door. Knocking a young girl opened the door,
"Can I help you?"
"Yes is Magda here?"
Raven saw Erik's head whip to look at Charles,
"Come in, I'll go get here,"
The girl stepped back letting the three in,
"MUM SOME ONES HERE TO SEE YOU," she left the three standing in the hallway as she walked deeper into the house,
"Magda? Magda Maximoff?" Erik hissed to Charles
"Yes?" Charles looked confused "Do you know of here?"
"Shes-"
"Why the fuck are you in my house" A woman emerged from the back of the house, "I never want to see your face again,"
"If this is about the whole-" Charles started to explain before being cut off,
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know lived here."
"Then why are you here?"
"That's my fault," Charles cut in,
"Its always you" she laughed, "Come sit,"
The four walked into the living room and sat down as Magda went to get a drink,
"What do you want," she asked starting to pour the wine,
"We have some questions, " Charles started "about Peter"
She froze, "...what"
"We need to talk to him if-"
"I haven't seen him in three, nearly four years."
"What happened?" Raven asked
"Some government guys turned up. About the pentagon, instead of jail time he could do a sort of trial."
"Do you know what this trial involved?"
"It was classified, he sent me messages but..."
The three stayed silent,
"he got more distant, eventually he sent me a finally message said he never wanted to see me again, sent emancipation papers. Haven't heard from him since. That was about a year ago"
"Do you know why"
"He learnt the truth"
"About?"
"His father,"
She turned to look at Erik,
"Max, he's your son."
Chapter Text
He stood on the deck of the ship, three in the container, all mutants, capture the man with a neck tattoo. Kill the others.
Pulling his googles on he opened the container. He spotted his target and the two others. Grabbing the back of the targets neck he ran him into a different container. Running back to the first container he pulled his knife out slashing the second man's neck and heading to the third. As he lifted the blade it stopped. Some force seemed to be holding the blade in place. He froze, neither where telekinetic, how was he stopping the blade?
"31" A voice rung though his ears "Return with target immediately"
Sheathing the knife at his thigh he returned to the second container. Grabbing the target he began to run back to the base.
Entering the damn he dropped the target on the floor,
"What-" the target began to stand up, the guards never let him get to his knees
"DO NOT RESIST. RESISTENCE WILL BE MET WITH FORCE"
It was always the same line,
"Good job bullet" Sir walked to his side, "Status of the others?"
Peter signed "One dead, one alive"
He froze,
"One alive? Why is he alive?" the man hissed
"YOU" the target shouted to the two "YOUR BRETRAYING YOUR OWN KIND. THROW OTHERS UNDER THE BUS TO GET A CUSHY LIFE, YOUR A PEICE OF SHIT-"
The man yelled obscenities as he was pulled down a hallway.
"Follow" Sir turned and walked down a different hallway. He followed.
The walk was long, he knew where he was being taken. Entering the room, Sir turned de-attaching his mask, removing the gag allowing him to speak.
"Why did you let one live?" He could here the anger in his handlers voice,
"The knife couldn't touch his skin"
"It couldn't touch his skin?"
"Yes sir"
*SLAP*
He fell to the floor, cheek stinging. He's was pulled up by the front of his shirt.
"You have one job" he hissed, "Do what I say, if I ask you to kill, you kill."
"Yes sir"
"Then why isn't the man dead"
"The blade was stopped."
"By what?"
"I don't know"
He felt himself being dragged across the room, a hand clamped around the back of his neck. As his head was pushed down he felt the ice cold water.

His head was pulled up,
"Don't fail me again. Understood?"
"Understood"
His head was letting go allowing him to slump to the floor.
"Go to your cell, now."
He stood up, trying to catch his breath exiting the room he walked down the halways, he had to walk. No mutation allowed in the base unless training. Entering the cell block he crossed a catwalk to his cell. He wasn't kept with the general population, he was in a more private area with only 3 other mutants.
"Stryker's dog returns" He ignored the mab, he was use the names,
"Aw, too good for us?" He unlocked his cell entering he tried to close the door behind him.
"Don't leave," The man put his foot in the door way, "We're just getting started,"
"..."
"Don't you ever speak?" the man grabbed his chin "Don't think I've heard you speak a word all the time I've been here."
"..."
"Lets see if we can change that."
"yeah" another man joined them "I think we can make him speak"
The first man cracked his knuckles, "How many ribs do you think I have to break before he speaks"
"Lets find out"
"HEY"
His chin was released as the two stepped,
"NO FIGHTING AMONGST SUBJECTS"
"I HAVE A NAME YOU -" he was brought to his knees before he could finish,
"Back in your cells everyone."
He turned closing the door,
"STRYKER'S BITCH"
The door closed the insults off, slumping to the floor he breathed for the first time in hours,
The names where getting to him, he could barely remember his own,
Silver bullet, Subject 31, Stryker's dog, Stryker's bitch.
He spoke for the first time in hours,
"My name is Peter" the name sounded foreign, no one called him it, very few even knew it.
"My name is Peter."
Notes:
I messed up, I'm so sorry if you tried to read the first post. I don't know what happened.
Chapter 9: DAY 1243
Summary:
X men plans
Chapter Text
The drive back was silent. When they reached the mansion, Erik walked into the grounds. Not even Charles had seen him since he'd left.
Raven sat in Charles study, in front of her sat the one file they had of Peter.

She sighed. At least they had a name now.
"You should rest" Charles wheeled into the room, "you will not learn anything new by reading it again."
"Alex gone home?"
"Yes. Once Scott settled in he felt no need to stay longer."
"He could be a teacher"
"He's still young," Charles looked out on the dark grounds "He should live a little."
"Ok" Hank entered the room "I found something,"
Putting some papers on the desk he continued,
"Mutants that where killed or disappeared. They are thought to be Silver-bullet's targets"
Looking though the papers Raven felt nauseous,
A girl killed in Poland,
A man taken from Wisconsin,
A teen disappeared right on school grounds,
A women dropping dead in a shop,
A boy with a slit throat still in his bed,
The names kept going,
"Its a mix of killed and taken but..." Hank trailed off
"All mutants" Raven finished,
"Yes,"
Raven stood up "We need to kill him"
"What, we can't just kill him"
"Look at how many he's killed and taken, we can't let him continue"
"But we can't kill him he's still a person,"
"He's killed so many other."
"He's barley 20. If we capture-"
"He signed up for this, you heard her. He aggreged to the trial. He knew what he was doing he deserves to die."
"No" Raven turned, Erik was standing in the door,
"Just because he's your son doesn't -"
"He's my son, I'll track him down, bring him in"
"And what if he kills you?"
"I assure you, I won't die so easily"
"Ok" Charles spoke "We will track him down, take him alive, at least we can learn what happened to the ones he took"
Raven scoffed, he was always to trusting,
"Raven, I have a new job for you"
DAY 1254
Raven looked into the danger room, when Charles spoke of restarting the X men she though it would be with some ex students, not a group of teens. They weren't bad teens they where just... young.
Jean had been a student of Charles for quite a while, she was a telepath who was probably stronger then Charles, the one thing holding her back was herself. She tried her best but was to scared to do anything out there with her ability's.
Scott was eerily similar to Alex, they had the same temper, similar mutations and the same braincell. She almost had Deja vu with the amount of times Scott took out the others (and sometime her). They also had the same habit of picking up on the smallest things but missing the most obvious social clues and saying the dumbest shit possible.
Ororo had only just arrived at the school, a little before she had arrived, she'd been living in Egypt but had been recruited after a run in with the law. Her ability to control weather was amazing but unpredictable.
Kurt was a shy kid, and the only reason she hadn't left. He's grip of English wasn't that good so Raven had been teaching him in there spare time. As she got to know him she wish she didn't, he'd been prosecuted his whole childhood but he never resented them. He was always kind no matter what people did to him. She wished she was there for him, not abounded him in a random monastery.
"Raven" Hank spoke walking into the room "We need to get to the office"
"What's wrong?"
Hank stood next to her lowering his voice, "Erik's back,"
"Has he got anything on our ghost?"
"Yeah, its... not good"
"That's it for today," Raven called prompting the teens to stop, "You're free to go"
The two adults watched the teens leave following behind,
"Why do you look so down?" She questioned seeing Hanks face,
He glanced towards the teens, "Wait till we're in the office"
Entering the office she saw Erik and Charles already around the table,
"Why does everyone look so down?"
"I was looking for information on our ghost when I learnt some... disturbing news" Erik started, "He's capture at least 50 mutants killed at least 100."
"So we have numbers now?"
"We have some names too" Hank cut in,
"Who, anyone we know?"
Charles said nothing and just handed over a file,
Subject 11 - Emma Frost - Telepathy - DECEASED
Subject 15 - Azazel - teleportation - DECEASED
- Son - Kurt Wagner - teleportation - ALIVE
Subject 19 - Angle - wings/acid spit - DECEASED
Subject 25 - Banshee - Super sonic voice - DECEASED
Raven gagged, their friends the people they had known, trained with, fought. All gone.
"That's not the worst of it," Erik cut in "they've been watching everyone involved in Cuba,"
"Then why aren't you on the list" she asked
"They didn't get a chance"
"That's not the worst of it" Hank said, "Scott's parents called last night, Alex is missing"
"what"
The four turned to the door, the young x men stood in the door faces painted with shock.
"Where's Alex?" Scott asked despair in his voice, "Where is my brother."
"We don't know" Charles spoke softly "We only learnt he was missing last night"
"Time wouldn't give us an answer" Erik scoffed only to be hit by Charles,
"What happened," Jean asked "What's so important training was ended an hour early."
"Your to young" Raven cut in "You will not be involved in this what so ever"
"We're 16" Ororo started
"I'm actually 15" Kurt cut in,
"Except for Kurt but he's close, where old enough to help,"
"Let us help" Jean pleaded,
"No, your too young-" Charles started
"Let them help" Erik cut in "Mutants younger then them have been taken. They could be on the list."
"Erik-"
"What list" Scott cut in
Erik and Charles had a non verbal argument before Charles sighed "Sit down, this will be a lot for you to hear"
As the four sat down Charles started,
"For the past two years there has been a rumour of a weapon called Silver-Bullet able to kill and capture mutants"
"How-" Jean started but Raven signalled her to stay silent,
"We thought it was a ghost story, until a couple weeks ago."
"An informant of mine" Raven cut in "Managed to get a photo of him" picking up the photo of the young adult with silver hair she handed it to the group,
"So its a person?" Ororo asked,
"A mutant," Erik spoke up, "With the ability to run at super sonic speed"
"Why would a mutant agree to this" Scott spoke 'Why would they agree to kill other mutants?"
"vere they captured?" Kurt asked,
"No," Raven said, "He agreed. It was a two year trial with the government."
"So it will stop soon?" Jean asked,
"That was four years ago" Hank said, "he went off the radar when it ended, hasn't been seen since"
"How do you know this?" Ororo asked "Did you teach him"
"Not exactly" Charles started, "We... briefly interacted with him before he was offered the trial"
"How?"
"Its a long story"
The four teens looked at each other, agreeing to drop the matter now but ask later.
"How did you know him?" Scott asked
"He's my son" Erik spoke
the silence could be cut wife a knife,
"Your son?"
"Yes"
"Someone dated you?"
"Yes"
"And had a child with you?"
"Yes"
"Where they insane"
"SCOTT"
"WHAT"
"YOU CAN'T just ask that" Raven scolded trying not to laugh,
"Yes Scott" Charles said supressing a smile, "Erik was quite the catch back in the day"
"You flatter me old friend"
"I say nothing that wasn't true"
"THIS" Raven cut off the two's flirting "is our cue to leave"
As she guided the teens out the room, she watched Kurt walk away,
"You have to tell him" Hank told her,
"I abandoned him"
"He'll understand"
"He deservers better then me"
"You put yourself down," Hank smiled at her "Your not a bad person"
