After taking Rogue and Storm's unconscious bodies to the infirmary, making sure to move Pyro out for their safety, Peter, with their captives—Toad, Juggernaut, and Sabertooth—levitating behind him, turned to Xavier. "Do you have a place that can hold these three? Or should I take them and secure them myself?"

Logan, still riding the adrenaline from the recent fight, asked, "Why not just call the cops and let them deal with it?"

Peter shook his head. "The police won't be able to handle three superpowered mutants. They'll just escape as soon as they wake up. They need to be held by people who know what they're doing."

The Professor frowned. "I presume you're talking about Shield? Weren't you just telling me all about how they're compromised? How can we trust them to secure them properly?"

Logan looked confused. "What the hell is Shield?"

Peter glanced over at him. "I'll explain another time." He then turned back to Xavier. "I never said I'd give them to Shield. I can imprison them myself."

The Professor raised a brow. "And Shield will allow you to do that?"

Peter chuckled. "I think there's been a misunderstanding. I don't work for Shield. I'm merely helping them out right now because I'm friends with their director. Their opinion doesn't matter. I do what I want."

Seeing that Xavier still didn't seem so sure, Peter added, "Unless you have a way to imprison them yourself?"

The Professor shook his head. "I don't. But won't the cops ask questions? After all, the fight from earlier has most likely already alerted them." He looked out towards the front gate, confused not to see a single police car there. "I'm surprised they aren't here already."

Peter smirked. "Well, I may have made a call while you were dealing with Rogue and Storm."

Peter had called Peggy and got her to call off the police, which seemed to have worked. Though now he owed her an explanation, but that didn't really matter.

"The police won't be showing up. So, we should figure out what to do with our prisoners before they wake up."

Xavier frowned in thought, glancing over at their prisoners. "Where would you be keeping them?"

Peter smirked. "My base of operations. I can take you there if you'd like?"ately, Xavier agreed, as he had no other options. "Alright..." He didn't have a prison of his own, and even if he did, he wouldn't want to house prisoners with all of his students here. It just wouldn't be safe. Not to mention the threat of Magneto, who could come at any time to retrieve his captured followers.

It would be safer to have them gone...

Peter nodded. "Alright, then we should probably head out now."

Logan stepped up. "I'll come too. I have some questions for the guy that attacked me..." he said, glaring at Sabertooth's downed form.

Peter shrugged uncaringly. "Sure, you can tag along, I don't mind."

Before they could leave, Xavier asked for a moment. "I need to make a few arrangements before we go." He rolled off, leaving Peter and Logan behind.

As Xavier left, Peter looked at Logan. "So, why'd he call you James earlier? Is that your real name or something?" He glanced at Sabertooth, who was still unconscious.

Logan grunted, his eyes narrowing on Sabertooth. "No, that's why I have so many questions for him."

Peter nodded. "Makes sense." He continued with small talk, which Logan found increasingly irritating. "So, do you listen to music? What's your favorite band?"

Soon enough, Peter seemed to notice Logan's growing annoyance but continued nonetheless, smirking as Logan's eye began to twitch, enjoying his reactions.

Hearing the girl referred to as if she were a lab rat infuriated Magneto. The scientists saw the rage in his eyes and grew tense, screaming in warning, "We'll do it! We'll shoot!"

But before they could act, their guns were yanked from their grasp, causing a few scientists to fall to the floor. The guns then turned on them, floating ominously in the air.

"P-Please, I have a family!"

The scientists begged for their lives, but Magneto was unmoved. With a cold expression, he pulled the triggers, filling each of them with enough bullets to put down an elephant.

The gunfire echoed through the room, and seconds later, the guns clattered to the floor alongside the scientists' lifeless bodies.

Magneto then turned to the cages, breaking them open with a thought. The mutants inside, already terrified, shrank back in fear as the bars that trapped them for so long were ripped apart.

Opening his arms welcomingly, Magneto proclaimed, "You are free, my mutant brothers and sisters."

As the mutants began to register what was happening, some cautiously stepped out of their cage, seemingly testing the waters.

And as they did, suddenly, a black-haired blur ran past Magneto, heading for the door. It was X-23, attempting to escape.

But before she could reach the exit, Magneto levitated the broken door, sealing her path. "Where do you think you're going?" he asked calmly.

X-23 whipped around, her body coiled and ready to strike. She growled at Magneto, bony claws extending from her knuckles. But Magneto was unafraid. He walked over to her and reached out, causing her to flinch and close her eyes.

But surprisingly, instead of an attack, she felt herself being pulled into a hug as Magneto knelt in front of her. Her eyes widened in shock as he whispered, "It's going to be alright. You're safe now."

Tears began to well up in her eyes, and she sniffled, standing there with her arms at her sides, receiving the first hug of her entire life. "?!"

After a short flight, Peter flew the helicopter up into the artificial clouds that concealed his floating base, the Red Room, from the world. As they ascended, Xavier and Logan exchanged puzzled glances, their curiosity piqued by the unexpected ascent.

"Peter, what are you..." Xavier began, but his voice trailed off into silence as they passed through the clouds. The sight that greeted them left him in shock and awe.

"My god..." Xavier muttered, his eyes wide as he took in the massive, floating behemoth of a base.

Logan was equally stunned. After a moment of silent admiration, he turned to Peter. "Are you an alien or something?" he asked, thinking the base was a spaceship.

Peter smirked. "No," he replied. "This base was actually made here on Earth. It wouldn't be able to survive in space. At least not yet."

Peter knew that Rocket had been hard at work tinkering with the Red Room, so he anticipated some shocking upgrades were on the horizon...

As they marveled at the glory of the Red Room, Peter guided the helicopter into a hangar. The massive doors opened as they approached, welcoming them inside.

After landing, Peter exited the cockpit with a smile, waving as he saw Peggy standing there, supported by her cane. Logan followed from the co-pilot's seat, while Xavier used his telekinesis to ease himself and his wheelchair off the helicopter and onto the ground.

As they walked over to Peggy, she noticed the three unconscious mutants that Peter was levitating out of the helicopter, trailing behind them. "Interesting company you've brought back," she commented, raising an eyebrow.

Peter opened his mouth to respond, but before he could say much, a sudden ringing sound came from one of the prisoners, surprising everyone.

"?" Curious, Peter used the Force to find and levitate a hidden phone from out of Juggernaut's clothes. Pulling it over, he caught it and immediately answered the call.

"Hey, wait! Don't just—" Xavier tried to stop him, but it was already too late.

"Pete's Porno Palace, we've got the pics to please your pecker," Peter said, his tone casual. "This is Pete speaking..."

"..." There was a long pause on the other end before a female voice eventually replied, "Who is this?"
