Sniper shook his head.<br/>"I still damaged your school and attacked your students. I owe you at least an apology. As for here..."<br/>He sighed.<br/>"I cannot stay here. Your mutants still dislike me for what I did, and a delinquent like me doesn't feel at home in a posh mansion like this. What I really need is financing."<br/><br/>He leaned forward.<br/>"I want to start a new organization called the Freedom Force. I want it to help protect and ensure the lives and liberties of mutants. In many ways, it will be similar to you, but I intend to do some things that are...different."<br/>He leaned back.<br/>"I love Holly, and it made me happy to protect and help her."<br/><br/>"I lived most of my life as a rogue and a delinquent. I did whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, and however I wanted to do it. But a man gets tired of fighting only for himself. I want to help people the way I helped Holly. I want to ensure a better future for mutant kind. That's part of the reason I went along with Magneto. He suckered me into believing in his utopia."<br/><br/>He looked out the window.<br/>"But we have no start-up money. If you would please just give me enough to get a building and a few other supplies, we could take it from there."<br/>He looked him in the eyes.<br/>"That's all I want, Professor. That, and an alliance with the X-Men."
