The leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants stood there emanating a level charisma typical of leaders that appealed to the disenfranchised. It was easy to understand as he lived in one of the worst places for discrimination a death camp. Forced to watch as his family was executed or died under extreme conditions forced labor, starvation, beatings and probably the most heinous betrayal of a fellow prisoners. This treatment was most likely what drove his hatred for humanity and created his dissociation and estrangement seeing Mutants as other.
Magneto: I know that this meeting was a bit impromptu but I hope you can overlook that
"It's not a problem I understand your circumstances and given that you have offered your aid unprompted I am certain I could spare the time to talk with you"
Magneto: it's good that you're magnanimous, as for why I brought you here I would like to know your official stance on mutants
"My stance is that I don't see them as different or other just people that were born unique. It is nothing short of stupidity that the people of this dimension have been persecuting them. I understand that they were without the guidance of the God Emperor of mankind so I will overlook it while I correct it"
Magneto: That is another thing I wanted to discuss do you believe that the God Emperor of this dimension will be a mutant?
"I'm uncertain although I have noticed potential candidates...
I gave a fake "accidental" glance at Jean but quickly schooled my features in foe effort to disguise my slip. I could have read his mind if he wasn't wearing his trademark helmet Magneto pretended not to notice but he had taken a few glances towards Jean. In a moment of inspiration he asked Mystique to join our group before realizing what he just implied he elaborated on what he really meant. He wanted Mystique to go along with us as a liason between us and the Brotherhood of Mutants.
He thought that Jean was part of my harem and I didn't correct his misconception. In reality Jean was more of permanent house guest at the moment learning to control the Phoenix force. As for Medusa she was in a similar situation with Jean except that she wasn't currently interested in a relationship with me or even entertaining the possibility. Jean was still sitting on the fence about wether or not if she would enter a relationship between us. Jean has not corrected or commented when others assumed we were together but if asked directly Jean would deny it as she was still unsure about what she wanted.

As we arrived back to the mansion I could see that there were plenty of paparazzi waiting for us out front like at the airport which we barely managed to avoid. Fortunately I didn't see my favorite reporter so I chose to just blantonly ignore them. Lois Lane was among the crowd and tried to get a comment but I just pretended not to notice her. That seemed to tick her off as she glared hard enough for me to feel it. As we entered Cortana popped up in front of me with Nadin coming towards me.
Cortona: Vicki Vale called to schedule an interview regarding the incidents that occurred in Bailya and hopes that you will make it as soon as possible.
"Sure schedule it for this evening so we could have dinner afterwards and give Fury time to go over Natasha's report"
Nadin: We have received several calls and emails requesting assistance and general interest from various organizations
"That's what Miranda is there for so I don't have to handle that aspect"
Nadin: If it had been for general business that would have been fine but this is in regards to heroic side of things which is why I am here as we've been unable to get a hold of you recently. On a possibly personal note a miss Susan Storm has requested a meeting at your earliest convenience.
Susan's call was sooner than I expected but I wasn't about to argue with things breaking my way. The only worrisome issues was the fact that various cape groups were reaching out to the company to meet with me. Even I was aware that this was a problem there was little I could do with that information. For now I will have to handle things as they present themselves I couldn't afford to look weak infront of outsiders like Medusa and Mystique.
