Chapter 16 - Chapter 15: Emma Frost

"Missing?! What do you mean she's missing? Did she run away?"

"That seems to be the case. Her stuff is also gone. But Logan doesn't believe it." 

At this moment Logan, also arrived, a frown on his face. "She was feeling good here. She wouldn't run away without any reason."

Logan, or Wolverine was short in stature, like in the comics. But he was built like a compact mass of muscles. His gaze was feral, and his sharper canines and the iconic wolf beard on add to his wildness. 

"Where's the professor?"

"I don't know. He said he's going to locate her," Logan replied. 

"Cerebro," Jean realized. 

"Let's go. I'm sure he can find him," she said Logan, heading into the mansion briskly but she turned around, looking at Will. "Oh, and Harry, you can come too. The Professor would like to see you." 

"Follow," said Storm before flying in. 

Shrugging, Will followed. It was a good opportunity to enter Cebero. 

The interior of the mansion was luxurious, built in a Georgian Revival Style, with classic furniture, column supports, and brick facade walls. 

But it also showed traces of teenage activity, random messes, books, video games, comics, writings on the walls, etc. 

They walked through various corridors before reaching a room which looked to be Xavier's office, evenly spaced windows and a big mahogany desk with no chair. It seems that the Professor doesn't need one. 

Jean swung open the bookcase to reveal a big elevator, which looked quite uncharacteristic in this place.

"Damn. A kid's school with a secret elevator to the basement in the Principal's office? That's not suspicious at all," Will commented as everyone got in. 

"Don't try to poke fun at the Professor, or I'll throw you out." 

"Shut up, Scott. Harry, I know it might look suspicious but the professor really is the kindest person you'll meet."

'No shit.' 

The Professor was just as kind as Dumbledore. 

The elevator opened and the scene outside had shifted completely, having turned into a sci-fi fantasy now, with circular corridors made out of strange materials, intermitted with automatic doors which probably led to the high tech labs and the legendary danger room. 

Jean led them to a thick metallic circular door which scanned her iris. 

With a soft sound, the bulky door opened automatically, revealing a huge spherical dome made out of metal. The low but deep hum of electricity could be heard, seeming to contain a lot of power. 

A narrow platform led to the middle of the middle where the Cerebro helmet is kept. 

"Professor!" 

But right now, an old man was lying on the platform, the Cerebro helmet lying on his side. 

"How is he?" Asked Scott urgently as Jean checked his condition. His body seems fine, but his mind… It seems that he has received a psychic shock. 

A few minutes later, they were all in the lab, with the Professor unconscious on the treatment bed. 

"Did you find something?" Asked Jean as Storm entered. 

"It seems that someone tampered with Cerebro's coolant. It has turned dark green," answered Storm. "How is the professor?" 

"He's stable now. The infected coolant must have corrupted the Psychic link, backfiring Cerebro's power onto the professor. He will be out for a while," said Jean. 

Logan started to leave. 

"Logan! Where are you going?" Asked Jean. 

"Where do you think? To find Rose." 

"Good luck with that. She could be anywhere by now," said Scott with disdain. 

"Well genius, do you have a better solution then?" Asked Logan, squaring up against him. 

"Stop fighting, you too! I have a way," Jean interjected. "I am going to use Cerebro." 

"No!" Scott denied instantly. "There's no way you can handle it. You're not ready yet!" 

"Oh, come on Scott. It's not that difficult. Can't you trust me for once?" 

"Don't bring up old things! This is a serious matter." 

"So the other matters aren't serious?"

"Can we bring Frost then?" Storm suggested. 

"Emma Frost?! No way! She's no longer one of us. She had only been pretending to be nice so she could take the Cerebro. We can't let her near it," said Jean. 

"Yo, can you guys stop? I'm having trouble concentrating," said Will, who was sitting at the computer desk. 

In front of him were dozens of footage on three different screens. 

"What are you doing?" Storm asked, standing behind him. 

"Duh. I'm trying to find the girl," he said, flicking through each footage at a rapid speed. 

Scott scoffed. "Stop trying to show off," he muttered.

"Is this her?" Asked Will, ignoring Scott as he pointed at a small figure that was thickly covered walking through the crowd. 

Will paused the video, zoomed in and made the image as clear as he could. 

Logan quickly came over, his eyes concentrating on the image. "That's her," he said immediately. 

"How did you find her? Asked Jean. .

"She doesn't have a vehicle. I assumed she wouldn't have money to book a flight so I hacked into the surveillance of the nearest trains and bus stations." 

"How did you even recognize her?" 

Will opened a window which showed Rogue's complete information. 

"Well, you literally have her registered here. I just had to type her name.

"Skip this! Just tell me where she is!" Logan demanded. 

"Weschester train station. It's a bit far from here," said Will, and Logan left immediately and Scott quickly followed.

"Thanks for this." Storm gave a serious nod, her piercing gaze now containing a bit of respect when she directed them at him. 

Will's eyes lingered on her retreating figure, the graceful sway of her plump rear impossible to ignore. 

"She's single, you know," said Jean as she also prepared to follow. "Let's go." 

"Looks like you will be single soon as well," he said, making Jean's smile falter. 

"... Even if that happens, I'd like to keep it that way," she said after a pause. 

"Exactly my situation." 

"Absolutely not. I don't flirt with multiple men." 

"Who asked you to? Just flirting with me is enough."

As Will entered the Elevator, Jean hesitated. "Just go. I can handle myself here. Worst case, I'll stay in the office." 

"Well, you've had a terrible first impression," she said apologetically before running away. 

"It's not like I was going to join anyway," Will muttered, not knowing whether she heard it or not. 

Entering Xavier's office, Will was in deep thought. 

The plot had changed but the direction was similar. The X men were going to the station to bring back Rogue. 

But the problem is, they will meet Magneto there, who also wants to kidnap rogue for his plans. 

Magneto is an Omega Level mutant, with almost all of his potential unlocked. The feats he can achieve… make his God Complex seem very reasonable. 

Can Will really fight him?

'Well, anything for Aura Farming.'

'And also, it's not like I haven't made any preparations.'

Will tapped his skateboard, letting it scan his finger. The turbines started to rotate and it transformed, turning into a Hoverboard. 

This is Hoverboard 2.0, having a high fuel capacity and a few more features. 

Then, he pulled the straps of his backpack.

Though it looked light, it was actually quite bulky. 

Green light flashed and the bag opened, sticking itself around Will's body. 

He stepped on the hoverboard and fixed the helmet, completing the Mark II confirguration. 

This suit is prepared specially for Magneto. 

The exosuit is made out of a material similar to carbon-fiber. It might not be stronger, but the suit is definitely lighter. 

The weaponry is formed through Ceramic/plastic polymer— non-ferrous but super strong.

The suit also emits weak EMP signals through ceramic coils that can scramble his body's magnetic fields. 

There are also upgrades in the nano-fibre launchers. These are just the major changes. 

Over all, Magneto's metal control and magnetic field control can no longer affect the suit, lessen the danger by quite a margin. 

His glider and extra arsenal are still on the way but he still has sufficient weaponry. 

Will stepped on the Glider and flew out through the open window. 

His hoverboard was much slower than the X jet. So, by the time Will reached the station, some unexpected things had happened. 

Magneto was hovering a few inches above the ground. His aura was actually even higher than the X men, which shouldn't be a surprise. 

Flanking him were two of his followers. 

One had a big touch flicking out of his mouth, and a strangely shaped limbs while one 

On the other side was a 2 meter tall giant with big canines that were much bigger and sharper than Logan. His eyes didn't seem to have irises, being all white, and harp body spikes protruded through his knuckles. 

They were Toad and Sabertooth. 

Around them was a scene of complete destruction. 

Since the station was near the police station, the police had also arrived. Unfortunately, their guns were currently floating in the air, trained at them. 

A few cars were flipped overs, and the ground had several craters.

The X men were completely bound with several types of metallic objects, completely immobile.

People were still screaming and running away and a crowd had gathered near the vicinity. 

Will entered stealth mode and quietly approached the scene, which is nothing more than turning down the lights, lowering the sound of the glider, and scrambling his electromagnetic signature. 

It seems that the heroes and the villains were exchanging dialogues. 

When Will reached, the exchange was over as Sabertooth hefted Rogue on his back and the trio started to leave. Seeing that, the crowd that gathered began to move further back. 

Will quietly snuck as close as possible, hiding behind a nearby column. Then, he aimed a dart at Magneto and fired. 

This dart was filled with a compound made out of Ketamine derivative and enhanced tranquilizers. 

The body is made out of carbon fibre and the sharp and thin tip is hardened polymer. 

Theoretically, Magneto should not be able to sense it. But knowing just how dangerous and undefeatable he is most of the time, Will didn't hold out much hope. 

—Plop—

The dart hip magneto just below the helmet and the overpowered Villain plopped to the ground like a sack. 

Will: ???

This… 

It shouldn't be like this, right?

Magneto is already down? 

What do I do?

For a moment, Will was totally confused. He had seen this method work in comics, but he still didn't think it would actually work. 

Then he remembered. 

Oh, right. Aura Farming. 

He turned off the Stealth Mode and heroically rose from the ground, looking down at the mutants. 

"White Knight!" 

"Ohmygod! It's really him!" 

"He's finally here!" 

"White Knight! Get them!" 

"Are you guys going to surrender?"Asked Will, pointing his wrist at the duo. 

The only answer was Toad's acidic tongue which flicked at Will with surprising power. 

A carbon-fire monomolecular blade popped out of his wrist which vibrated high frequency. 

[Mind Boost]

Will stood straight on his glider and his hand slashed out in a powerful arc. 

!!!

A horrible sound was emitted from the mutant's throat and his tongue was accurately intercepted by the blade. 

"""YEAH!!!""

The gathered audience cheered for the White Knight, seeing him easily fight the villains that seemed invincible just a few moments ago. 

"That was your last warning." 

With that, Will swooped down, firing nano-fibre nets at the two mutants. Despite the pain, Toad was still able to dodge with his amazing agility. 

Sabertooth threw Rogue aside and directly broke the threads using his immense strength. 

With the mutants separately, Will went for Sabertooth first, him being a much greater threat. Sabertooth was not one to be intimidated as he also bared his fangs and directly rushed at Will. 

Will ducked to the side, his blade slashing through Sabertooth's ribs. 

With a growl, the giant ignored the wound and slashed at Will with his long hand. 

Will parried using the blade, its vibrations damaging the claws, but the force behind them was so immense that Will's hands and shoulders felt a huge impact, throwing him back. 

Will shrugged his shoulders and cracked his neck. "Thanks for that." 

The green light on his suit intensified. Under his mask, Will grinned. 

He launched himself at Sabertooth. Directing his slash aside, using the blade, he punched him in the face with all of his momentum. 

Saber was knocked black several meters, his nose completely crushed. 

The Armor enhances Will's power using Bioelectricity and the Hoverboard's fuel cells. And, the interesting parts is, it also use the physical burst he gets from [Saiyan's Masochism] 

Will hovered towards Sabertooth to finish the job but he had to duck as a tongue coated with acid flash above his head. 

Incidentally, it hit Sabertooth who had just gotten up. Right in the eyes.

Will still wasn't really confident in dealing with Sabertooth. After all, the guy's strength can reach four tons. Will needs to be alive to absorb the impact of the hit. 

Unexpectedly, Toad did the job for him.

The laser in his hand was charged and he fired it at the toad without even looking back. 

"Stop." 

But at this moment, a voice resounded throughout the area, making him pause. 

The police officers who were overlooking the scene picked up the guns that Magneto had dropped and aimed it on themselves.

Those with semi-automatic weapons pointed them at the public. 

"Nobody should move, or else there will be a bloodbath." 

'Who the fuck?'

Will couldn't understand who this was. The voice was feminine, rich, and seductive, the kind that should sound very good when moaning. 

But right now, it sounded very bad to Will. 

Magneto's body was lifted from the ground, along with Toad and Rogue. 

'White Knight, I have wanted to meet for a while, but this wasn't the situation I had in mind.'

'Damn, villains exchanging dialogues with me? It seems I have made it.'

"Oh, what situation were you expecting?" He asked, trying to locate the person. 

"Well of course, it was the situation of you saving me like a knight in shining armor."

...

A.N.: Emma Frost's entry. 

Vote!!!! I hate to ask this but I really need powerstones.

Also, Scott really is like that in the movies. I didn't change him. It would be unnatural if he didn't clash with Will
