Well, since I reincarnated, I never thought I'd see a bar again so soon, after all I'm still just a child, but it seems that fate is on my side in this life.
At this moment, I was in front of an old bar in New York, with Magneto next to me with Emma, Azazel and Angel.
How did we end up here? Well, I could take us to a flashback of what happened a few months ago, but I would have to explain a lot so I'll just summarize.
We're behind Wolverine. Yes, Wolverine. Logan, Weapon X, James Howlett, call him whatever you want but everyone knows him.
To face an army armed to the teeth, we will need the strongest and most capable mutants we can find. Unfortunately, at this time the really interesting mutants have not yet appeared, but there is one that came to my mind.
Exactly, Wolverine. The mutant with the best healing factor in Marvel and also one of the few who has the title of immortal because of everything he has ever survived and the centuries he is alive. He was probably the most interesting mutant you could find in this era.
Having him by our side would be a huge advantage, but finding him was difficult. Just like a nomad, he is always on the move and never stays in a place for long, so it took us a while to find him.
He was inside the bar I mentioned now. We saw him enter and now we just had to approach him peacefully.
"Are you sure you want to talk to him alone? " Emma asked bending down to stay at my height " He looks... wild "
"Yes, this guy doesn't trust strangers, much less other mutants, if we enter a group he will probably react violently, besides the people at the bar can easily identify you, and that would cause unnecessary problems" I replied pretending to formulate a logical explanation for them not to go.
In fact, I needed them to stay because only I could get Logan's attention to our side. Wolverine doesn't care about things like mutant supremacy, peace, war and others, at least not yet.
If I'm right, then he must have already lost the memories about his past and must be trying to recover them. And I, like any fan of comics and the x-men, know all of Wolverine's life and work. In other words, I have the answers he seeks so much.
But these knowledges are things that no one knows I know, and I can't reveal without raising suspicions about myself. If I want Logan on our side, I need to give the information he wants, without having to reveal the things I know to the brotherhood.
That's why I need to go alone.
Besides, I didn't lie anywhere. Logan is a guy who distrusts anything that breathes near him, years of being hunted by Stryker must have done this to him. An approach that is too aggressive can lead to conflict.
And besides, the brotherhood was already a group known to ordinary people and had already created its reputation as a mutant terrorist group.
For example, there was the time we destroyed a military base that was actually a mutant research base, there was the time that the Magneto destroyed the center of New York and broke the Statue of Liberty in half, and there was the time we almost killed the president. Seriously, it was enough for me to have aimed a few centimeters above that the bastard would be eating ants now. At least I managed to tear off his arm and leave a very large scar on the man.
Well, I've been present in many of the brotherhood's missions since I was 5 years old, but I've never been seen by anyone since I've always been as discreet as possible in my participations. I played a critical role in most of the missions I was, but I always managed to avoid my face being seen.
But not the others. Magneto was the leader, Emma acted as his deputy and the rest had already participated in several missions and been seen by thousands of people.
Automatically, the best choice is always me.
" Besides, he would hardly hurt a child. He may look like a wild animal, but he's as civilized as any of us "
"How do you know so much about him? " Erik asked looking at me.
"Most I just deduced through everything we discovered about him during our search, the rest depends " I replied making Emma look worried at me "Don't worry mom, I'll send a mental signal in case there are problems"
" Okay " He said getting up and standing next to Magneto.
Seriously, these two must be having an affair, they are always glued to each other.
Ignoring this, I started walking in the direction of the bar, when a man with a leather jacket and sunglasses came out with a smile.
"Hey" I called him making him look at me.
"What was a brat? " He asked, turning to me with an unhappy expression. He must be the type who doesn't like children.
"Give me your glasses" I said looking more like an order than a request.
The man seemed to be stuck for a few seconds before handing me the glasses and leaving.
Mental trick. These glasses will be an essential part of my plan B in case my approach doesn't work.
After putting on my glasses, I entered the bar feeling the familiar aroma of drink and sweaty men. Obviously I received strange looks from the people around, after all I was only 6 years old, but I ignored it and headed towards my target.
Sitting in front of the measuring table, was an Australian man with hair and unshaven hair with a drink in his hands.
That was Logan. So I made a point of taking the chair next to him with a smile on his face.
"Aren't you too young to be here? " Logan asked, turning to me.
"Do you care? "
"No" He replied, going back to drinking his drink.
So, with a small gesture, I put all the people under my control, making them unable to see or hear anything that I or Logan were going to say or do.
My mental powers are really amazing. Messing with people's heads is not difficult when you have enough skills, and the minds of people without training is always very easy to invade.
Making them get stuck in illusions, seeing, touching or hearing things that are not even there, putting ideas in their heads, controlling the body through the mind and others are things I can do without difficulty.
Of course, no difficulty if the person in question does not have some protection or mental abilities similar to mine. For example, Logan, the Adamantium that covers his skeleton and his skull makes it extremely difficult for me to move his mind in any way.
"So, how is it? "I asked turning to Logan who had already had just had his drink.
"How is it what? " He asked back.
"You know, being alive for centuries, regenerating and surviving anything, not aging... in this case, what is it like to be immortal? "
Logan looked at me with wide eyes and the grip around the empty beer bottle in his hand increased.
It's not much different from the reaction I expected.
"What do you know about me, boy? " He asked, this time more hostile.
" More than you would like. I have a proposal for you and if you accept, I will give you something you really want "
Logan looked at me analyzing me from top to bottom for a few seconds before asking: "What proposal? "
"I want you to join my group, you would be a great addition to our offensive power" I replied making the beer bottle float from my hand and go towards mine with telekinesis.
"You're a mutant," he said a little surprised.
"And you too, I don't see what the surprise is. So, will you accept or not," I asked, going straight to the point.
Logan was pondering for a few seconds before turning to me with a serious expression.
"I don't know who sent you boy, but next time tell your leader to come to me in person and not send a boy who hasn't abandoned diapers yet"
You son of a bitch! You know that when I abandoned the diapers, you were just a more or less popular fictional character!
Then he turned around and put a 20 dollar bill on the table before turning around and starting to leave.
"Not even if I tell you the truth about your past? "I asked almost mocking with a provocative smile on my face.
Then, Logan stopped and turned to me, his eyes wide and his claws threatening to come out of his fists.
"Yes Logan, I know about your memory loss and I also know about your past. If you join my group, I promise to tell you everything " He said with the same smile.
Unlike what I expected, Adamantium's claws came out of Wolverine's fist and he advanced towards me, placing the claws a few centimeters from my neck. You probably just wanted to scare me.
"Listen well boy, I don't know who sent you or what your group wants with me, but don't play with me or my life! " Logan shouted, clearly angry, bringing his claws a little closer to my neck.
Well, I think it's time for plan B. With that, I lifted my sunglasses and a red glow was all Logan saw before being hit by a ray of red energy.
The attack destroyed most of the bar and along with that some people died when they were hit by the attack, with the rest remaining within my illusion.
Outside, Logan was fainted with his skin in the flesh and part of his bones appeared, with the damage starting to heal quickly.
The attack was formed by a mixture of heat, kinetic energy and electricity that I was preparing since I entered the bar, the sunglasses were just to disguise the red glow I had in my eyes.
Of course I could have thrown by the hands or chest, but by the eyes I would have more precision and could disguise better.
Then, a red fog appeared a little behind Logan and from it emerged Azazel, Magneto, Emma and Angel.
"I suppose everything went smoothly," Magneto said, looking at the destruction I made and at Logan's almost fully regenerated body.
"There were small complications" I replied with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, let's go before someone gets here" Magneto said sighing.
I shrugged and lifted Logan's body with telekinesis, placing it over Azazel's shoulder and grabbing the red demon's leg.
So, using Azazel's teleportation, we left the scene and the people inside the bar got out of my control and went into shock making the destruction that had occurred "out of nowhere".
