 <strong>Affiliation;</strong>  The Resistance<br/>       <strong>Location;</strong>  Moscow, heading away from Selene Gallio....for now.  Heading towards the Psych Hospital<br/>       <strong>Tags;</strong>  Open</span></span><br/><br/>After leaving the hotel and bar, Magneto received word from his scouts that had since teleported back to their current location that the way forward was clear, at least for now.  There was an abandoned psychiatric hospital nearby and that they might be able to find food, medicine, and more if they could get to it before nightfall.  "Good work my mutant brothers."  Magneto said, indeed quite proud of his little force even if they were akin to rats crawling about in a maze full of predators and hunters alike.  One wrong move and they'd be in deep trouble, but Magneto was confident that most of them if not all of them could get there in one piece as his teleports disappeared once more, leaving a yellow and red smoke trail behind them wherever they disappeared from before leaving a similar cloud of smoke when they appeared once more.  The smoke reminded him of both Nightcrawler although whenever he disappeared he left a black cloud of sulfur and brimstone, while these two he had on his current team reminded him of Azezael of the former Hellfire Club he and his former associates had destroyed years ago now.<br/><br/>Whatever the case might have been or was now, it mattered little since these two were fresh out of the cradle in a sense in regards to being something beyond human.  He had helped free them and several others that were less mobile upon his initial arrival to Moscow, having been aboard a simple steamer that had crossed the ocean from New York before flying the rest of the way using his own ability to manipulate metal and the energy around it.  He had wanted to keep a low profile, and it was partly thanks to this desire to do so that he wasn't currently standing before Apocalypse now most likely, although Erik had no idea at present he was on the tyrant's most wanted list, with Selene being the one hunting him personally.<br/><br/>If he had, Erik might not have been so eager to go forward with this group as he currently was.  He might have instead thrown them to the wolves and disappeared as surely as he had appeared if the situation presented itself since at present, it was every mutant for themselves these days.  His destination had been Germany, where his parents had died along with the rest of his family during the Nazi regime, having felt it long past time since he had last visited their graves at the former death camp of Auschwitz, but Apocalypse had interrupted that idea when he had struck, forcing Erik to go into hiding along with what was left of his Brotherhood of Mutants.  But now was not the time to remember the dead lest he wanted to join them as the group he lead now made their slow way forward.  They almost made it until they turned a corner and came face to face with the two guards that had walked out of the same place they had been heading towards.<br/><br/>"RUN FORWARD!"  Magneto shouted to his new brothers in arms, planning to hold these two back so his group could get to safety if all went well.  His teleports didn't hesitate as they disappeared and appeared on the hospital's roof before finding a way inside the building through a vent shaft.  The rest had to make due with more conventional means as Magneto raised his hands and lifted two considerably sized if partially ruined SUVs and sent them flying at the exo suited freaks of nature Apocalypse had created.  "You have no idea who you're up against!"  Magneto called as he lifted up into the air just as the cars exploded, sending pieces of shrapnel and debris in all directions.  It was considerably noisy perhaps but he hoped it wouldn't be too closely investigated since even from here, he could still hear the sounds of fighting from other parts of the city.<br/><br/>"No, YOU have no idea who you're up against gramps!"  The apparent leader of the two shouted back as a ball of electrical energy appeared in the man's right hand.  He was untrained perhaps, but it seemed this young mutant had already learned a thing or two in regards to his ability as he threw the orb of lightning up at Magneto's flying form.  A car door, what was left of it at least, seemed to appear just in time as the master of magnetism blocked the orb and sent the door he had used as a shield into the man's torso, the earlier exploding SUVs having done a fair bit of damage of their own as he could see damaged parts of their armored suits sparking and smoking with pieces of debris sticking out of them, yet neither of them seemed to mind much.  The second mutant looked at half of what remained of his friend, the electrical bearing mutant having been torn in half by the door Magneto had launched like a serrated disc into the man, and took a step back before turning tail and running for all he was worth.  He didn't get more than two dozen feet as Magneto flew after him.<br/><br/>"Stand and face me like a man or die like the dog you are!"  Erik challenged the young mutant, hating to spill anymore blood than was necessary to accomplish his goals but he couldn't risk word getting out of where he was, let alone his group as much as he'd abandon them if it came to such a thing.  He pulled a fire hydrant apart and aimed the jet stream that came out of the ruined hydrant at the fleeing mutant and immediately wished he hadn't as the water froze before exploding into thousands of shards.  Erik wasn't quite able to block the iced over shards as he took a beating but avoided being shredded.  "Interesting mutation you possess.  The ability to flash freeze water.  I knew a mutant like you that had a similar mutation, but he was able to simply make and manipulate ice as a whole rather than needing water to do it."<br/><br/>"Save your praise!  Apocalypse will Judge you himself if he catches you!"  Magneto didn't doubt it since he was rather infamous in his own right but he wasn't about to let this upstart be the one to cash in on his discovery as he picked up the metal suit itself and tore it apart with a wave of his hand, leaving the young man completely exposed before crushing him in what was left, grinding the man inside into a bloody pulp before letting the pieces fall where they would.<br/><br/>"But it shan't be you that tells him where to find me...my misguided brother."  Erik said solemnly as he turned back to where he had sent his allies, hoping they had found sanctuary if nothing else since they had needed a break from the constant running and hiding so far today.
