Meeting of the Minds [Open]

[foster336]

(Bare with me, This is my first RP in a while. Aside from my App RP =p)

The night was starting to settle across the whole city. Manhattan was never asleep though. And neither were it's 'heroes'. Magneto smiled as he looked out of the window that over looked the whole city, He could see Liberty Island where at one point his attempts to make the 'normal' humans mutants backfired. But that was the past, There were flaws in that plan. Too Many Flaws. But this time, The X-Men were powerless, This time Magneto could and would not stop at nothing to turn the world into what the wanted. The Ultimate Brotherhood.

As he shuffled around his desk, He smiled as he told his friend and fellow Brotherhood of mutants to join him here in his office for a little 'Meeting of the Minds'. His powers were limitless right now. The only thing that could stop him was currently powerless. Smiling magneto sat in his large metal chair as he waited for his friends.

It was nice, finally having the upper hand to his old friend Charles Xavier, Not even Charles and his mind reading could stretch this far into the confines of his new hideout. He chuckled at the thought of Xavier's face, Not being able to use Cerebro to locate him. Being virtually stripped of all things that led him to Erik's place of getaway. It was torture to the man Erik though.

Just the thought of Charles sitting there with the Animal they call Logan, The Wolverine. Him Sitting there with Scott Summers or 'Cyclopes' as they called him there, and the beautiful Ororo Munroe, also called 'Storm'. They were nothing without their Jean Grey. It saddened Erik to know that possibly the most powerful Mutant had to die like she did. Being crushed by a wave back at Alkali Lake. Poor girl. so much power, confined by the works of Charles Xavier, A brilliant man. But now, Erik had the upper hand, Erik knew what to do. They thought the war ended back at Alcatraz, No. It had Just Begun.

[Mystique]

Mystique didn't bother knocking as she entered his office, arms folded across her chest as she looked at him, obviously in a rather ticked off mood.

"I love how you left earlier this week and left me to babysit." She stated sarcastically, moving to drape herself across one of the metallic chairs in his office. Yellow eyes flashed dangerously as she glared at him for a moment.

"And I thought I might mention it, but my daughter, Rogue - you know the one you attempted to kill by using that machine? - has decided to join us." She continued in a bored tone, tapping her fingers against the cold metal of the armrest of the chair. The chairs were extremely uncomfortable, but Mystique was used to that by now. "And you should also know, that those pathetic X-Men don't even realize she's gone yet."

Getting to her feet after a moment, she crossed to the window, gaze flickering over the buildings and such without any interest. New York never held any interest to her, really - she was only here because Magneot was, and being second-in-command, she had to go wherever he went unless he said different. Arms folded across her chest again - they seemed to stay that way nowdays, permanently stuck to her chest in the position they were now - Mystique was still pretty ticked about being left alone with the other Brotherhood members.

"So you want to tell me where the hell you've been the past few days while I've been babysitting?" She questioned, turning to him.

Erik turned slightly as he smiled and he looked back at the newcommer in the room. Mystique, His loyal second hand. He trusted noone more than he did her. He smiled as he could tell by the way she stood that she was slightly ticked off at him for leaving her. He had been gone for a while a few weeks to a month. He decided to tell her the truth. "Well, I was in Africa, I got a lead on where the cure was headed, and i was only allowed to come alone, Surely you know that i am thankful that you watched our young brothers and sisters". He smiled as he turned back to the window.

Memories flashed back to that night on the Statue of Liberty when she sope Rouge's name. He smiled as he remembered how poorly defended he was, Sabretooth failed at defence, becasue of that metal animal Wolverine. Magneto nodded and he looked out the window and he asked "Why exactly did she decide to join us, Did her boyfriend break her heart"? He smiled slightly when he said this. He had a wicked sence of humor as of late.

[Mystique]

"Yeah, well, don't leave me with them again or you might come back to a base full of dead bodies." She mumbled, tapping her fingers against his desk as she leaned against it, looking at him.

"According to her no, but I think she's lying. But she joined because she didn't think her friends would take her back - you see, she very nearly took the cure." Mystique explained with a small shrug.

"But at least she'll be an asset to the team. You always said you wanted new members."

[Rogue]

Rogue walked quietly down the hall, pausing to listen in to the voices ahead. She had been on edge ever since Magneto got back. She had to wonder how this was all gonna go down. Taking a deep breath, and with an assertive nod, she rapped on the door and pushed it open.

"Hope I ain't interruptin' anything." She said, nonchalantly, leaning up against the door frame, shooting an unsure look to Magneto. "Figured I ought ta say hello, seein' as how I'm livin' here now and all."

Staring down at her gloved hand, slowly tugging on each finger until the glove was off, and she inspected her finger nails. "Yanno, if I'm welcome, that is." Her eyes slowly raised to meet Magneto's in a intense stare. She was not backing down, and she just dared him to try and use her again.

Erik nodded as he looked back at Mystique. He smiled slightly as he walked back to the window. It was a very different place to bee hiding out. In a building that anyone could simply waltz into not expecting anything, and then be taken hostage by a vengeful metamorph or a fool that used cards. Or worse yet, a master of magnets. Erick smiled slightly at these thoughts. As he muttered to himself "I pity the poor fool who tried to stop me".

A new voice entered into the conversation. Erik didnt have to turn around to see that it was Rouge. The southern accent told it all. He smiled again as he turned to see her. His intense gaze met her stare. She loooked a bit frightened when he looked into her eyes. But then again, He wasnt Charles Xavier, He couldnt read minds. "Welcome to the brotherhood Rouge, But tell me one thing". He stopped talking as he walked to her and he met her gaze more intently "What made you decide to join us"?

[Rogue]

Rogue glared at the man, unimpressed. "What like I need a reason now?" she narrowed her eyes at him, moving from leaning at the door post to standing. "Thanks for the welcome n'everythin.." she drawed off, turning her back on him.

"See you 'round Magneto." she said dryly, eyes flashing to Mystique. "Ma." Walking away slowly, thinking about how the duo seemed much less impressive now, than they had before.
