A few weeks ago 20 000 feet above the Pacific The cold winds went through him like knives. He felt the antidote course through his body and out his lungs. He screamed, he cried, he cheered. He was dying he knew...but he died a happy man. He left the world as he would’ve wanted it. The Legacy virus was now cured and the X-men had a new leader, Scott Summers. “You’re a bloody heretic, Charles...” a female voice rang through his head. “Cassandra...” he replied. Suddenly he was sat in a chair in a small café he loved back in Cambridge. Across of him was a mirror reflection of him, save it was a woman. She had the same build as him, was also bald and of course the figure of a woman. However her eyes were harsh cold, the blue pupils seemed to radiate an cold hatred. “I figured I would see you one last time, before I died.” He said. “Your mental barriers evaporate like snow in the microwave, my dear brother.” She smirked as she brought a cup of tea to her lips. “This is not real.” “Of course it isn’t. You killed my remember? But my mind lingered in that little head of yours.” “You are evil.” Charles also took his cup of tea, despite knowing it was fake.” You had to be killed, we discussed this.” “Not discussed as more like forced upon me. You never gave me a chance Charles. You killed me in the womb, made mother cry....” “You didn’t care about mother.” He replied.” You never gave as much as a muscle duing the funeral.” “Your right...but then again how can I? I am bit another presence in your mind, buried under lock and key, only to pop up when your to distracted....Like during your fun times you had with Moira in her office....” “That’s enough, Nova.” He snapped. “What? I never had the chance to experience sex. Let alone feel the skin of another being on mine, the breeze of air through my hair or the soft wet feeling of fresh grass under my toes...” “I did it for an reason.” “You were playing God, Charles. Even now you are. Dying for the sins of your precious mutants? You sicken me...It’s hubris even to think of it.” “I am as much as a god as you are Cassandra. I made an choice and I lived my life with it.” “And what do you have to show for it? Our bloodline ends with your son Proteus. No more Xaviers after this.” “Perhaps it’s a good thing, knowing my father and you.” He sighed. “ Why are you doing this, Cassandra? We both know this will end soon enough.” “True, but here’s the thing Charles....” she leaned forward.” Your defences weren’t as impressive as you thought they were.” “What do you mean?” “You remember the black outs you had the past few months, after your precious Jean died?” Charles stood up as the table flipped on the ground, the tea spilled all over.” What did you do?!” “Give us a second chance, brother.” She smiled.” I created a body in a place called the Savage Land, which I made sure would drop in care of your good friend Eric Lensherr. He and your X-men will find us there.” “Us?” “I’m going to put my sentience into it. You can as well, if you want to.” “You...are saving me?” “Oh, I’m not saving your Charles. You see...” she snapped her fingers as the café disappeared. They stood side by side on top of a high rise building as they oversaw an wasteland of destruction. “This is what I have in mind with the world. We’re going to switch things around now. I will be in control at all times and do everything I can to make this vision come to reality. You, if you can, will be in my mental prison.” “But, why?” “Because you’re my brother Charles.” Cassandra smiled.” Then again you can decline my offer and die with this body, which means no-one can stop me.” “My X-men-“ “Oh give it a rest Charles! Your band of spandex clad student turned soldiers are NOTHING.” “You underestimate them.” “You overestimate them. They are your precious pawns, and pawns are easily dealt with. This game of ours has taken to a new level Charles, I would hate it for you to forfeit.” “A game?” “Yes! A game of minds! A game with the world at stake! Mutants and humans alike! How about it? Your X-men versus my brilliance. Why I think even your good friend Eric would gladly join my side with the things I have in mind...What do you say Charles, you game?” She offered her hand. “These are people’s lives we’re talking about, Cassandra!” “You reap what you sow Charles. I don’t care about other people’s lives since I never took a breath myself. I dont care about humanity, i dont care about mutants. I only know the game, you mind versus mine.” The professor glanced over the wasteland, and knew he had no choice. “Very well, Cassandra. I’ll play.” He took her hand and shook it. “Good...” she smirked. Now Brotherhood hq, Savage Land Antarctica “My stars and garters...” Hank said as Charles’ body was pulled out of the green vat. “It’s him.” Logan nodded.” Smells like him anyhow.” “It’s the professor...” Cyclops said. “ He’s back...” “Mon dieu...” George rubbed his face.” And I thought I saw everything...” “Let’s prep him for departure then.” Bishop said. “ The sooner we get him home, the better.” As everyone agreed, Cassandra Nova opened her eyes for the first time for however briefly...and smiled. Your move Charles, she thought... Edited by Gorvar, Jan 9 2012, 10:39 AM.
