Ororo “Storm” Munroe
How did you do this, Professor?
Storm had been racking her brain all night. Charles had been able to bring people together, Ororo seemed to only divide them. Logan's absence would be felt by some of the students. But she couldn't allow this to derail them She'd figure it out eventually. She'd make it work in the meantime.
Though she hadn't slept too much last night, Storm looked like she was ready to face whatever came next. She was sitting at the Professor's old desk, a cup of hot tea in her hands as she waited for her staff to arrive.

Magneto returned striding back through the main door from what ever early morning errand he had dealt with as the sun rose. He moved through the still quiet school. He came upon Storm at Charles' desk, It was almost painful to watch another fit themselves into Charles' shoes. Charles... Charles had been the one man he thought could bring peace without him Magneto was more sure than ever that the war would be coming.
He stands silent his posture and stare saying more than his words ever could. He respected her while she was strong but if she was not he would take up Leadership, offered it or not, and he would do what he thought best.

Ororo “Storm” Munroe
Storm picked her head up, thinking that Scott or Hank had finally pulled themselves away from their morning duties. But that wasn't the case. Instead, she was graced with the presence of her late mentor's closest friend and archenemy. An odd pairing, but not at all surprising. The Professor was odd in that way.
"Magneto, good morning..." she said with a nod.

Magneto nods to her as he pauses and looks around, his red helm hiding the expression of his face and the exact direction of his eyes "Have the others not yet risen?" he asks with a firm slightly dismissive tone.

Storm looked at him, silent for a moment before she shook her head.
“No, they have not,” Storm paused, lifting her gaze upward. “Mystque and Logan are gone. Left late last night at my behest. The first and last order Logan seemed to follow as of late.”

He shrugs "A Soldier who can not follow orders is a detriment." He says honestly to her staring away. "Mr Logan has always been a lone Wolf, It is hardly surprising that he has reverted to type. Like many things Charles set up his taming was hardly going to last forever."
"As for Mystique." He considers a moment "Her intelligence gathering is useful and I will admit that she has been a most useful assistant in times past. However her own neurosis have over time made her less useful."
"What will you do about the hole in your organisation?" He asks with a thin hidden smile, probing at Ororo for weakness.

Storm let his comment about the things Charles created not lasting forever. She wasn't looking for another argument. Debate... Whatever.
"Logan and Mystque have their paths to follow..." she paused. "And I have mine."
Storm took a sip from her tea cup, studying Magneto. "I have a few ideas. Alex Summers, Havoc he was once a student here, as you well know. He could handle Logan's teaching responsibilities." She paused. "Magneto... Charles and Jean's death... we're still trying to rebuild. Scott's return and Hank's help aren't enough... The Professor trusted you once. Trusted you with the safety of these students... I have often wondered if that trust was misplaced."

Magneto turns to her "Do you honestly believe that I would hurt them?" he demands "I am a protector to my people, you may not like me or the methods I have used but understand this. What I do, I do for all of us. Because no one else has the Strength or the Will to do it. I do what must be done to strengthen us for the coming war."
"I cannot do that by hurting the people that I am sworn to protect." He stares at her intently. "I gave you my word, Have I given you any reason to doubt that I have or intend to break it?" he demands "Have I given you any reason to doubt that I am here to help My People?"

Storm raised one of her hands, as if that would stop Magneto from speaking.
It didn't. Still she sat quietly while spoke; her face was a blank mask of neutrality.
"Please, Magneto. I have argue enough with my brethren for one lifetime." she said. "It was just a thought I have been having. You have never given cause to make me doubt that you think you are doing right by our people."
Storm held her face over the cup of quickly cooling tea and closed her eyes. sighing deeply. "I am not the Professor. I will never be Charles Xavier. I want to keep his dream alive. I want to keep these students safe. To do that I need help... More help than I have now."

"Then do not question the honour of those who stand with you." He turns to pace the floor. "I am here because I believe that this organisation has the best chance of ensuring that our people survive the coming war. If you were not equal to that task I would not be standing with you and Charles would not have put his faith in you."
"Charles saw all the good in the world." He speaks carefully and firmly "He did not see the darkness that dwells in the heart of humanity. However he did have a good heart and I don't doubt that he was as careful in choosing his allies as he was in how he approached everything else."

"I'm sorry, Magneto but not questioning your honor, or the honor of anyone that chooses to stand with these students for that matter, is not a promise I can make." Storm replied. "Not when the safety of our people is at stake."
Storm nodded when he continued. "The Professor saw the darkness in everyone, even the darkness that resides in the hearts of mutants. However, where people saw evil, he saw only suffering... But as I have said, I am not Charles Xavier. And sometimes being careful is not a luxury I do have. So I apologize for my words and for questioning your honor."
She lifted her head to meet his gaze.
"You are a man of honor. And you have a history with this school... Help me breathe life into these walls."

Hank entered the room holding a thick folder. His hair was slightly rumpled and he had the air of someone who had dressed hurriedly.
"Good morning, Storm." Hank greeted her warmly. He gave Magneto a longer look before nodding. "Good morning, Magneto."
His eyes swept the room, noting the absence of Logan. He gave Storm a questioning glance. Scott Summers entered the room, freshly shaven and looking more put together than he had previously.
"Good morning, Scott." Beast greeted before stating, looking at Storm. "I came from the infirmary," He mentioned. "- Bobby is awake. He' s weak. Whatever they gave him is still in his system. He's apprehensive as he hasn't been able to manifest his powers. I'm hoping its just the sedative..."
"Good morning." Scott greeted the room. Scott held a cup of coffee in his hands, enjoying a long drink from it before realizing Magneto was present. He gave the man a nod, glancing about. At Hank's news, Scott frowned. His face clouded and he seemed to withdraw, his shoulders drawing in.

Magneto listens carefully to Beasts statement letting the news filter through his head, although it took him a while to place which student they were talking about. He returned the curt nod of Cyclops with an imperious nod of his own.
He mulled over Storm's words and considered the threats that were arrayed against them. The world was darkening, or rather the darkness was rising to the top once more like some vile cream. He could almost smell it on the air, like the last days of the Weimar, the sense of some impending evil. Alone even he, mighty as he was, would fall before the coming foes of that he was sure and his organisations had long since been dismantled not that any of them had really had the strength he had truely needed. If nothing else Charles had certainly had an eye for talent.
"Very Well." He speaks at last "You have my acceptance for now, Storm." He says turning back to her "Since you have lost a soldier."
