The Strange X-Men (Marvel;Re)/Issue 3

This is issue three of The Strange X-Men.

Transcript
The issue begins with a group of soldiers all gathered at a door, pointing their guns at it, seemingly waiting for someone. Suddenly and without warning, the metal door is torn off by Magneto, who is accompanied by a man with white hair and a woman in a red outfit.


 * Soldier: Fire!

The soldiers open fire on the three supervillains. However, the woman in red places the tips of her fingers together and a crimson aura erupts around the room and the soldiers' aims suddenly become terrible and they miss every shot.


 * Magneto: Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch. Do your thing.

Quicksilver dashes through the men so fast that all that's left of him is a blur, dismantling their guns. The now disarmed men then turn to Scarlet Witch, whose hands begin glowing red. She places both of her hands in front of her and the entire panel turns red, with nothing but the soldiers' screams being shown. Later on, the X-Men watch live footage of the soldiers being taken out of the military base, all in terrible shape.


 * Reporter on TV: While the terrorist who identified himself not too long ago as "Magneto" managed to take out the base non-lethally, the soldiers he and his new allies, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch, defeated will be in the Intensive Care Unit for at least a month. Making matters worse, valuable technology from the base has gone missing, more than likely stolen by Magneto himself.
 * Angel: We have to stop them!
 * Professor X: You aren't ready yet!
 * Angel: Hell yeah we are! We beat that Mesmero guy a while back, we can beat him too!
 * Professor X: Magneto is on a different level than all of you combined. Trust me... I've met him. I know Magneto personally.

Charles points at his legs.


 * Professor X: He's the one who did this to me...
 * Cyclops: I thought it was an accident.
 * Professor X: I wish that it was.
 * Ice Man: Why'd he do it?
 * Professor X: The story's... tragic. I'd prefer not to relive it at the moment.
 * Ice Man: Oh... sorry, teach.
 * Reporter on TV: Due to the actions Magneto and his terrorists have committed, Senator Robert Kelly has allowed us to release pictures of the trio. If you see them, call the number below immediately.

Pictures of Magneto, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch appear on the screen.


 * Jean: Huh, Quicksilver's got surprisingly sick hair.
 * Cyclops: He's a terrorist, Jean.
 * Jean: I can compliment people's hair without it being flirty, Scott!
 * Cyclops: I don't want you to become evil.
 * Jean: Because finding someone's hair to be neat definitely is going to make be become a terrorist.
 * Cyclops: I just need to make sure. Because we are family and it would be rough to face family.
 * Jean: It won't come down to that I promise.
 * Cyclops: I hope so...

Suddenly a knock could be heard at the front door as Professor X answers the door, revealing it to be Magneto, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.


 * Magneto: Hello Charles.
 * Professor X: What are you doing here Erik?
 * Magneto: Can't a man visit his old friend?
 * Professor X: I don't exactly trust you...
 * Quicksilver: Hey! Pops don't mean any harm to you!
 * Scarlet Witch: Yet.
 * Quicksilver: Shut up sis!
 * Scarlet Witch: I'm just saying...
 * Beast: You two don't sound too eager to be with each other.
 * Quicksilver: I'm just kidding with her, fur ball.
 * Angel: If you insult my friend, I assault you.
 * Professor X: Angel! Calm down!
 * Magneto: Charles, I have a feeling we should talk somewhere more private.
 * Professor X: Fine.

Professor X and Magneto walk off into the garden.

It cuts to the garden as Magneto and Professor X are talking.
 * Ice Man: So ummm..... what do you guys like?
 * Scarlet Witch: Silence.
 * Quicksilver: Excuse my sis. I like playing video games and watching sports.
 * Ice Man: Wgat's your favorite game?
 * Quicksilver: Released this year or of all time?
 * Ice Man: Of all time.
 * Quicksilver: Halo. Duh!
 * Ice Man: Me too!
 * Angel: Well I am glad one of us is making friends with the terrorists.
 * Scarlet Witch: Is it really terror when the humans are in the wrong?
 * Jean: What do you mean?
 * Scarlet Witch: Humanity are the monsters. And after our father showed that we are not be reckoned with, humanity wants to kill us. Why do you stick by the people who want to kill what is different from them?
 * Cyclops: Because humanity needs the chance to see we aren't monsters. Your father didn’t welcome humanity with open arms.
 * Scarlet Witch: That is ignorance. Ignoring the monsters called humanity.
 * Jean: My parents were good people.
 * Scarlet Witch: Before or after they found out you were a mutant. Humans get terrified when they see something they aren't familiar with.
 * Quicksilver: Wanda calm down. Don't you think dad might be wrong?
 * Scarlet Witch: That man made out of ice is making you soft.
 * Quicksilver: Lighten up!
 * Scarlet Witch: Your carefree personality is harming your sense of morality.
 * Quicksilver: Let's just see what they have to offer.
 * Professor X: I have a feeling you have an ulterior motive to this visit.
 * Magneto: I do. I saw your students' fight against Mesmero. I am impressed by it. I feel your students would make excellent members of my brotherhood.
 * Professor X: So this was an initiation visit. And I say no. I don't want my students to become terrorists.
 * Magneto: Why do you assume I am a terrorist?
 * Professor X: What about that assault on that military base? Or the damage you caused on the subway system.
 * Magneto: You seriously think that humanity would just gladly let people superior to them live with them? We need them to crumble at our feet.
 * Professor X: That is the speech of a monster.
 * Magneto: Then next time we meet, I will break a lot more than your legs.

Magneto storms off to the lounge area.


 * Magneto: Pietro! Wanda! We are going.
 * Scarlet Witch: Finally.
 * Quicksilver: See you Bobby. Maybe I will take it easy on you when we meet again.
 * Ice Man: Same.

They walk off.


 * Jean: What happened?
 * Professor X: I have a feeling a war is coming...

The issue ends.
