Chapter 8 - Beth meets Magneto
Beth was brought to her senses sharply as she experienced the most excruciating pain travel through her body. Struggling to sit up, she could just make out that she was in a small cave like room with large circular apertures in two of the walls that faced one another. Large cylindrical vertical bars filled the holes.
Placing her back against the wall for support she brought her hand up to her head as it became apparent that there was some slight uncomfortable stickiness there along with the primary source of her pain. Investigating her hand she saw what appeared to be dried blood. She was then aware that she wasn't on her own.
"Magneto, I might have known that you wouldn't put me up in your best suite," Beth said straightening herself against the rock.
"Well, Psylocke, if you promise to be a good girl I might be able to make your stay here more comfortable."
"And how long is that going to be exactly?"
Magneto knelt down beside her, picked a lock of her hair up with his left hand and smiled, "That depends on two things."
Flinching at his touch, she responded "Which are?"
"Your attitude towards me," he replied, gently stroking the hair between his thumb and forefinger, "which I must say, up until now, has not been favourable. I also expect your help when I am need of your ability."
"What are you going to do with me?" Beth asked boldly, she feared him but there was no way she was going to show him. 'Just be nice' her mind kept saying to itself, like some kind of mantra.
"I am in the process of making a super weapon, so incredible that it will make the political world sit up and listen to me as they make me their undeniable ruler."
"And I assume you will use me as part of that weapon?"
"How could you guess?" he said, dropping her hair and moving over to the middle of the room, his back toward her.
"I heard what you did to Rogue, she was so young and now she has those white streaks in her hair. She will never be able to forget the ordeal you put her through," Beth said, her voice splintering with anger.
He turned around and met her glare. "Ah yes, Rogue. Such a wonderful young creature and so beautiful too. She will never forget me."
"And me, will I ever forget? And what if I don't comply."
"You won't be able to remember, my dear. Whatever happens Psylocke will be no more, she will not exist . and nor will Beth." Magneto looked directly into her eyes, sensing that she didn't quite understand what he was trying to tell her. "My dear you will comply because you will do this as a duty to your family, and in complying you will die."
"Uncle Charles will never allow you to ."
"Who said anything about uncle Charles. I'm talking about your daughter . and Wolverine."
"Wolverine is nothing to me."
"No?"
"No, I owe him nothing, he doesn't even remember who I am, and as for my daughter!"
"Yes, your daughter. You may be surprised when you learn who she is."
"How could you know?"
"I have my sources . Beth. Elisabeth Logan nee Braddock. Do you know how long it took me to find out all about your little life?"
"Don't play games with me Eric, you've known about me since I was a youngster."
"Mmm. But you hid your records well. Those that you knew about anyway, like your marriage certificate and the birth certificate of your baby. Too bad I have enough influence to get the other information I needed. Let me see, you called your baby Chloe but never had her christened which made it easier for the adoptive parents to change her name. Am I right?"
Beth could do nothing but stare at him, dumbfounded.
"Am I right?" He repeated. She nodded her head. "Good. This is now the interesting part, this is the part you don't know. The adoptive parents completed all of the necessary paperwork; they changed her name and moved to a small town in Missippippi. Meridian I believe," a sly grin appeared on his face. "Marie grew up to be a wonderful young woman, with so much vivacity and charm. She was well liked and she was a good student. Unfortunately, no one was aware of what she could do to people. The first boy she kissed, she put him in a coma for two weeks."
"Rogue! Rogue is my daughter?"
"Yes, funny how life turns out isn't it, after all you must have noticed the family resemblance. The long dark hair and the beautiful brown eyes you both have. Remarkable really, how a highly charged telekinetic telepath and a crazy wolf man could conceive a child with a poison skin. Wonders will never cease to amaze me. Unless Wolverine isn't the father that is?"
"Wolverine is the father."
"Calm down my dear, I only wondered how such a man could be so easily tamed."
"He didn't need taming, he loved me then."
"And now?"
"He loves another."
"But you still love him?"
Beth didn't answer she just stared at him.
"Love is a wonderful thing if it is requited. Will you ever tell him that Rogue is his daughter and not his match?"
"Yes, if I get the chance."
"Then the chance I will give you. But first I need to know that you will help me with my weapon."
"I will never help you."
"Well, okay, if you don't then I will have to make sure that Rogue never forgets me, and also see if I can tame the man they call Wolverine. You do know that I can manipulate the adamantium running through his entire body with my magnetic force. And uncle Charles is no match for me what-so- ever."
"Okay, okay," defeat running through her, "I will help, my life on its own is nothing to theirs."
"Good, good. You'll know when I need you." He said, menace playing in his eyes. "Sabretooth, Mystique, have your way with her and leave her for dead somewhere where she can be found."
