"Scott, did you hear that?"
Storm, Ororo Munroe, lowered her voice and nudged Cyclops beside her with her elbow.
At Storm's question, Cyclops nodded, his special glasses hiding the shock in his eyes.
Scott, who had followed Professor X for years, considered himself fairly familiar with Magneto, but he had never heard the professor mention that Magneto had children.
"So... do you think it's true?"
Gossip was part of human nature, and Ororo was very curious about Magneto's children.
"Maybe... the professor would know..."
Scott hesitated for a moment before slowly answering.
After expressing their amazement that Magneto actually had children, the two X-Men finally turned their attention back to business.
Professor Charles had instructed them to bring the young mutant girl to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters for protection, keeping Magneto from finding her.
Although Charles still did not know what Magneto was plotting by looking for Rogue, he knew his old friend very well. The old man was always looking to stir up trouble, so opposing him was never a bad idea.
"You again!"
As Magneto's trusted subordinate, Victor had fought the X-Men more than a few times and naturally recognized Storm and Cyclops. With those two joining Logan, who was already evenly matched with him, taking Rogue away would probably be impossible.
At that thought, Victor decided to retreat, but before leaving, he still made sure to taunt his dear brother Logan, who had lost his memory.
"I look forward to our next meeting, Logan..."
Leaving that threat behind, Victor pushed off with both feet, vaulted over the low wall beside the street, and disappeared.
Logan, desperate to uncover his identity, was about to chase him, but Ororo and Scott stopped him.
"Someone very dangerous has his sights set on you. You'd better come back with us."
