"I'm sorry. We're under the leadership of Mr. I-Still-Think-Fingerless-Gloves-is-a-viable-Costuming-Option? Yeah, this is going to end well," Brooke said darkly. "I say we just go on in and let me quell everyone into submission." Granted, she could only affect two or three people at a time, but still.

Frogg vs.

[ngm_sisterhood]

"They're here! They're here!" Frogg cried out, bouncing along. "The X-Men are here!"

Heavyweight vs.

[ngm_sisterhood]

Heavyweight cracked her knuckles. "Gonna enjoy this."

Lady Mastermind vs.

[ngm_sisterhood]

Red Witch vs.

[ngm_sisterhood]

"Crude, sister, but accurate enough," the Red Witch declared, drawing up the concentration needed for her powers to work.

The others had been defeated. Unthinkable. That it was the X-Men who had opposed her only infuriated the woman called Magenta further.

She hovered above them, suspended on waves of magnetic force. "You would dare stand again me? When everything I do... I do for the future of our people?!"
