Suggested by bighero616
With Magneto now free and joining the Hellfire Club, Xavier and his X-Men are on high alert for what this means, certain that he will not be pleased and will make a move. Alongside Mystique, who has recruited Blob, Avalanche, and Toad, Magneto completes his recruitment, bringing to his side the Maximoff twins, a speedster and his sister capable of altering the probability of chaos, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. Ready to confront Xavier's X-Men, Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants rise up to prove Magneto's point that mutants are superior and the next step in evolution. Unable to just stand by, Xavier mobilizes his X-Men to stop them, but Magneto was already expecting this, leaving his great rival and friend incapacitated. This time, perhaps the X-Men aren't capable, perhaps they weren't enough, Xavier's dream vision wasn't able to change things for the mutants, perhaps it's time to try Magneto's form. Things get even more complicated when Magneto reveals his trump card, the mutant Angel, leaving what's left of the team even more shaken. Without his mentor, Cyclops takes command as leader of both the institute and the X-Men, having the duty to keep them united and safe. A heavy burden, but one he doesn't have to bear alone. The X-Men work to prevent an all-out war between humans and mutants, as the actions of Magneto and his Brotherhood lead in that direction, as the Hellfire Club desired. Without Professor Xavier, everything falls on the shoulders of the X-Men, the burden of keeping the dream alive, of showing that they are no longer students, nor children.
