Aron chuckled at Wanda's abrupt fession. "You need my help? That's an iing way of asking by throwing agid monsters at me."

  Wanda shrugged, a faint smirk tugging at her lips. "Well, I wao check if you are as strong as the rumors. And sidering you know my name, you must have already read my mind."

  He shook his head, amused, and snapped his fingers. A blue portal opened before them. Through it, the serene image of the ke appeared, where Jean sat beside Aron's real body, waiting patiently.

  "Wow! There are two of you?" Wanda asked as her eyes widened. 'What is going on here? A e?' She wondered.

  "e on," Aron said, gesturing toward the portal. "Let's have a proper versation, no explosions this time."

  Wanda followed him through the portal, emerging into the quiet keside clearing. The warm sunlight filtered through the trees, and the gentle pping of water against the shore starkly trasted the chaos they'd just left behind. Jean looked up, her expression wary as she saw Wanda.

  "Who's this?" Jean asked as she stood up.

  "Jea Wanda Maximoff. Wanda, Jean Grey. Wanda has... some issues she thinks I help with," Aron expined.

  Jean's green eyes narrowed slightly. "Issues? Does that include attag you?"

  Wanda raised a hand in mock surrender. "I'm here to talk now. No hexes, I promise."

  Jean folded her arms but didn't press further. Aron motioned for them to sit he water, and they formed a cautious circle. He rested against a rge rock, his golden aura dimming as he settled into his physical form. erched on a log, her posture te focused.

  "All right, Wanda," Aron began, "what's this about?"

  yful demeanor faded. Her voice softened, carrying a weight ency. "It's Mago. He nning something big and he po kill my brother to make me explode in rage. While you guys will be busy with an unstable me, he will kidnap Rogue."

  "He wants Rogue, why?" Jean asked with a serious expression.

  "Shit!" Aron cursed as he uood the pn. "Of course, he will go after Rogue." Thanks to his knowledge of past life, he took a guess.

  "You knew?" Wanda asked.

  "Let's just say, I know about certain things. Call it my specialty... ing to the point..." Aron began to expin Mago's pn.

  Mago found a way to give/radiate his mutations thus indug a mutation in other humans or non-mutants to turn them into mutants too. But there was a catch, the process made him weak and old. Every time he used it he was weakened.

  He created this rge more effective mae that would allow him to affect a rge number of people pared to 1 or 2. But using it would mean his death. So he will use Rogue as she absorbs the power of anyone she touches. He will give his powers to her aually use her in the mae instead of getting in that mae himself.

  Thus fulfilling his mission of verting rge numbers of humans into mutants and cheatih at the same time.

  "You are kidding me, right?" Jean couldn't believe such a thing ossible.

  "I wish," Aron sighed.

  "Mago pns to use my brother to kidnap Rogue and he will stage an act that will look as if Rogue died in front of Aron. In a rage, Aron will kill my brother before my eyes and I will go berserk. Then the chaos will start. Mago will take this ce to take Rogue away and use that mae. So, what's the pn? I help you," ined, her voice heavy with .

  "We are going to beat the living hell out of him," Aron said as he cracked his fingers.

  "That's it?" Wanda asked with a hint of surprise.

  "No. The beating is the first part, then I'll depower him and turn him into a human... The very thies. This is gonna be fun," He was already dreaming of abs Mago's power of metal trol.

  "Wait! You do that? And you are telling me? We just met today. What if I snitch?" Wanda couldn't believe Aron told her the details of his pns so easily. 'Is he stupid? Or does he really have absolute fidence?' She wondered.

  "Ah, don't worry about it. It's not like you are a bad person," He said with a knowing smile.

  "How do you know?" Wanda was a little fused.

  "Call it my sixth sense. Besides, nothing will ge even if you do. I'll just beat the shit out of you too," He replied, his tone casual.

  "Huh, what?" Wanda was dumbfounded. "You are really into BDSM, aren't you?"

  "What the hell is wrong with you?" Jean interrupted. "BDSM? Is there something I should know, H.O.N.E.Y?" She smiled at Aron.

  "Jean, it's not like that."

  "Sure, sure," Wanda wi Aron.

  "I swear, I'll punch you," Aron said as his fist lit up in fmes.

  "You wouldn't dare," lied.

  "Stop," Jean said as she held both of them by the ear and pulled.

  "Ouch," they said at the same time.

  "Stop behaving like kids and focus oask."

  "Sorry, Jean."

  "Sorry."

  "Jokes aside, what's the pn?" Wanda asked.

  "Pn? There is no pn. We'll simply go there ahe shit out of him," Aron said with a straight face.

  "You are joking, right?"

  "here's no need for a pn. I mean, Jean here is Omega level with Phoenix Force, you are a Chaos user and I don't want t but I'm kinda OP," Aron said with a proud face.

  "I don't get it. Mago is extremely powerful. How you just go there a him with a simple pn of beating him?" Wanda didn't believe it ossible. "They have access to teology that depower mutants. So, maybe you might want to think this through?"

  "It won't work on me," He said with a knowing smirk.

  "You 't know that for sure."

  "I and I do."

  "How you be so sure?"

  "Stop asking unnecessary questions. You want to go or not?" Jean interrupted the versation, her patience running thin.

  "If yoing, I'll e along."

  "The ready."

  "Fine," Wanda nodded.

  Aron peeked into Wanda's mind, "Think about the Brotherhood's hideout."

  She closed her eyes and tried to think of the Brotherhood's hideout. Slowly, an image of a rge isnd, far away into the sea appeared in her mind.

  "Found it. Let's go." Aron opened a portal aured for the girls to enter.

  ....

  As the portal shimmered open, Aron, Jean, and Wanda stepped through, emerging onto a rocky cliff overlooking the Brotherhood's isnd fortress. The stronghold bristled with high-tech defenses and mutants on patrol. The distant rumble of maery filled the air, and the salty tang of the o mingled with the tension radiating from the intruders.

  The trio's arrival didn't go unnoticed. Arms bred, and a cacophony of shouts erupted as Brotherhood mutants mobilized to intercept them.

  "Looks like the weling ittee's here," Aron said, a flicker of golden fme dang across his hand.

  "Let's show them what they've signed up for," Jean replied coldly, her green eyes glowing faintly as she reached out with her telepathy.

  The first wave of mutants advanced quickly. "How dare you betray us, yro yelled. He was leading the charge, unleashing a barrage of fmes that surged toward the trio. Beside him, Avaomped, causing the ground to quake violently. A team of mutants, including Blob, Quicksilver, and Toad, fhem, ready to attack.

  Aron and Jean were surprised to see Pyro alive because he should be dead way back at the warehouse where Aron killed Shaw and his men.

  "A e? Or a twin?" Aron raised his eyebrows.

  "Doesn't matter," Jean raised a hand, and Pyro's fmes froze mid-air, swirling into harmless embers before dissipating. A subtle smirk pyed on her lips as she focused on the ining attackers. "You like chaos, don't you?" With a twist of her mental focus, Quicksilver's incredible speed turned against him as he collided headlong with Blob, sending both tumbling to the ground in a tangled heap.

  Aron quickly opened a portal and put Quicksilver i. It was an isoted chamber created using the Space Stone's power.

  "Your brother is safe and secure," He wi Wanda.

  "Thanks," She gave him a nod. "But will she be alright, alone?"

  "Hey, Jean, you got it covered, right?" He yelled at Jean alking toward the gate.

  "Leave them to me," She waved her hand.

  Avaremrew stronger, but Jean intensified her telekiic grip. His legs buckled, and he dropped to his knees, his trol over the quakes faltering.

  Blob got up and tried to tackle her, but his movements were slow and clumsy, making him an easy target. Usielekinesis, she threw him into the air and hurled him into a cluster of mutants. He bounced off a few, sending them sprawling in all dires before ing to a stop, his huge body pinned beh a pile of groaning rades.

  More mutants arrived. Frenzy charged Jean, only to find herself floating above the ground, helpless and fused.

  "You joined Mago?" Jean was fused to see her old friend. "You said you wao start a new life away from the fight and chaos. Heck, I even gave you like 80 grand st time. You said you wao open a school. What happeo that?" She smmed her to the ground, hard.

  "Gahhh!!" Even with her super endurahe hit hurt.

  "This is not the life I wished for you, but I 't let you go free. Sorry," Jean apologized and used her telekinesis to toss Frenzy toward the others.

  Frenzy was still in a daze, and as she was sent flying toward the other mutants, she collided with several and khem down.

  "Nice shot," Aron ented.

  "Give me my money, bitch!" Jean yelled at Frenzy.

  "Stop it!" Frenzy groaned. "It's not like I go back. They won't allow me to go. Mago will hunt me down. I am forced to be here."

  "Where is my money?" She began to sm her to the ground, over and ain.

  "Ouch!" Frenzy shouted. "I'll give it to you ter."

  "Later, what ter? Do you have any idea how much risk I took to get that money? Now I 't even go to Vegas. They banned me," Jean ranted.

  "What's going on with her?" Wanda asked, raising her brow.

  "Sigh! Jean likes to gamble and scam the os using her power," Aron answered.

  "You mean, the redhead is a artist?"

  "No. She just found an easy way of earning quick cash, that's all."

  "You are defending her? You are in it too, aren't you?" Wanda smirked.

  "Ahem! Let's not think about unnecessary things," He coughed.

  Meanwhile, Jea up Frenzy so much that she passed out. Then, Sabretooth lu her, but she didn't flinch. Her telekinesis lifted him mid-leap, and with a flick of her wrist, she hurled him into the remaining standing ones scattering them like bowling pins. But seeing that the mutants weren't stopping, she flew up into the sky. "ENOUGH! GO TO SLEEP!" She shouted and used her powers to force them into unsciousness.

  Aron cpped his hands and whistled. "Now, that's OP."

  Then it began...

  All the metal began to twist and float around the area as an invisible force exerted itself on the surroundings. A figure floated in the air, a smug smile on his face.

  "Mago..."

  "Why, hello, Aron. Jean. So nice of you to visit. And Wanda. To think you will betray me like this," He said as he shook his head, pretending to be disappointed.
