(sorry ive been gone damn work hours stare )
Dairus jumped up when magneto arrived. Dairus didn't really trust this guy but was tempted enough to fallow. He might find a way out; this place gave him the willies. He fallowed magneto while looking around to look for possible exits. He nearly bumped in to the person in front of him who had previously had been messing with their pant chain (Jillann) when they stop in front of a weird machine. He listen to magneto explain the machine and the gems of whatever, he really didn't care at first, to them. 'That would be kind of nice ..... Not to zap some thing when i get pissed or some thing......' he thought 'but this whole situation is kind of fishy ......the guy made us fight just so he could help us .... That’s messed up.....' "Well..." he said still a little apprehensive about this offer.

Damion looked accusingly at Jill. He hated to defend anyone but the girl was being more ignorant then time allowed with the losers close at hand. "Idiot, this is the profit. No more pain, no more sorrow. A way out of the impossible odds that were stacked against you when you discovered your mutation." He looked enviously towards the machine. He had made up his mind that he was going to be through that machine, regardless of the succes rate. It was not, that he had no value for his life but he had decided that in the grand scheme of things, this was the best offer he had recieved in a long time. He looked up. "Has this thing been... tested." He knew that the awnser would not matter... yet still, if it had been it would make things easier, though it hardly mattered in the long run.
((Fair enough, just ignore part of what I said))

Kungfuangel Jillann was fighting with herself mentaly. 'Hmmm it would be nice to be stronger hell it might even make me taller....' she thought. 'No! This dude just captured you and you going to do what ever the hell he says!?......idiot.......' she argued with herself. She finally came to a decision "I’ll do if i can get some proof it works" she said trying to please both the voices in her mind. (()i men to say some thing else sory for the confusion )

{I've got about ten minutes worth of free time, during which I'm at least going to post as Morgan and, hopefully, Raze.}
"It has. One both I and Magneto," Raze said, speaking up after Damion's comment.
Morgan, on the other hand, was still fighting a mental battle with himself. The prospect of such power was certainly enticing, but... part of him felt that obtaining it this way would be cheating. Like all the hard work that he'd ever done to master his abilities would mean nothing.
"Raze?" he said, looking at his friend questioningly.
Raze nodded his head at Morgan, and smirked. "Don't worry. I'm fine, aren't I?" he said.
"Yeah. Yeah, you are. Alright, then, I'm in too," Morgan said, resolved to go through with this, one way or another.

"Well, thats all the proof I need." Zion said looking over at Raze remembering the night they had gone to their house and how he had been utterly out of control but now it seemed that this device had given him total control.
"Hold on there girlie. This guy captured you because you won some kind of battle against your own kind then as a reward brings you out into space just so you can supposedly get control. You don't even know how long it's effects will last!" Aaron growled from behind Liz. He had thought about it when he saw and heard about the machine when they walked in but he decided that he had all the control he needed and opted not to take the road most traveled.
"Shut up boy or I'll make it so when they send your body back to your momma and poppa that all there is is some ashes in a matchbox." Zion said looking dangerously at Aaron. She turned on her heel and walked towards the machine. When she got to the entrance of it she looked back at Damion. "You coming, love?"
(( huzzah for arguing with myself...i feel like a damn schitzo now ))

Damion smirked at Zion's rather appropriate comment. What was it about the losers that made them always want to stop the victors from recieving their prize. Noone could ever resist crashing their superior' parties and apparentyl this was no different here. "Can we go in now?" He asked. The sooner they went in the less time they would have to think about the possible outcomes.

"Perhaps you should all be asking yourselves what the catch is." Lizz said dryly. "I mean come on, you run some obscure, absolutly pointless little test and this guy suddenly comes along out of no where and offers you something you've always wanted, always dreamed about. What's in it for him?" She said with a snort. "What is HE going to get out of this? Oh, and don't beleive him for a second when he says there's no catch, because there is...there always is. I have no dought that he's not doing this for a purely selfless reason. This deal is way to good to be true." The trouble with this situation was that all of the supposed winners were to blinded by what Magneto was dangling in front of them to see the possible pitfall that was awaiting them. She seriously doughted anyone would listen to her but she could always hope that one of them would be smart enough to stop and think about that.

Damion could not directly awnser Lizz but he was pretty sure he had the right idea. If we go through with this, we will owe him... He did not mind the idea himself. He liked to think of himself as in control of his own destiny but he was not against serving someone else for power. Most jobs nowadays had to do with climbing the latter to the top anyway, this whole battle between the X-,men and The brother could practically escalate into the same thing.

Victoria twitched slightly as Magneto spoke. The deal about reaching their full mutant potential with the help of his Genetic Enhancer sounded like a slice of heaven, and she couldn't help but envy those who had won and were being given that opportunity. She shoot a side-ways glare at Lance, who was too caught up in the same situation to notice. If he hadn't flung her up against the damn tree, she'd be in the winners circle along with everyone else. But no, thanks to him, and the rest of his idiot Brotherhood friend's she was here, on the loser's side of the fence, with absolutely no clue with what to do with herself.
That feeling of envy and hate soon faded, however, as the Brotherhood girl, Lizz, made a novel observation. There had to be a catch she had said, and the more Victoria thought about it, the more it made sense. There was no way Magneto, a so called 'friend' of Mystique's was going to give this opportunity away without expecting something in return. Money, a lifetime of servatude, their soul? Victoria didn't know, but it sure as hell wasn't worth it for ultimate power. Though she had to admit, the offer was still tempting...
"Sorry," said Victoria, stating her opinion weather anyone wanted to hear it or not. "But you guys must be pretty dumb to accept an offer like that without reading the fine print first."

Carlos had deminished his presence significantly by the time Magneto decided to show up and remove them all from the room. when they were brought to the room he looked at the machine and gems and listened to the explanation. He was also looking at Raze who he didn't know. As the others showed up he thought more and more on what was said. He stepped abit aways from the other winners towards the machine studying. He would kill for a good nights sleep, do anything to control his powers fully. Despite what victoria said even if he was brainwashed by the machine. He hardly knew anyone to really care.

Damion passed a glance at Victoria. How could she say that? She did not know them, she did not know the problems of each individual person and their reasons. It was the single most ignorant reproach he had ever heard but like a little child saying "YOU ARE!" to everything said to them it was inarguable. Of course there would be side affects and costs but that was not enough to deter Damion, point though she may have. He would not speak up because mayby this was something the others needed to hear. He himself did not. "I have made up my mind." He said folding his arms and giving all of the losers a blank mechanical look.

Narcissa had remained quiet, her usual glittering façade concerning… The flight to Asteroid M had left her stomach in such knots and twists that her hands remained balled at her side. It took her several moments to realize that it was not the flight that had made her feel ill, all too warm, but of her new proximity to the sun. She could feel the light bubbling just beneath her skin, the absolute raw energy simply waiting. The golden haired child had followed her fellow X-men off the jet and into the floating rock that simply sent chills down her spine… Narcissa had no want to be here… Not after the floating orbs had stolen some of her friends away…
She stared distrustfully at the Genetic Enhancer that the bucket head seemed to be interested in promoting. It was like a dealer trying to push his wares, no matter how dangerous they might eventually be. Standing behind the others, she ignored the faint golden glow she cast on the floor, listening instead of speaking. Winning or losing, it was all a matter of perspective. Hard sapphire eyes glared at the machine before them that had apparently ‘enhanced’ those who had gone through… Why did they need to be enhanced? They were still young… Still had time to learn on their own. Despite the fact that she was a walking super nova, Narcissa’s ego would not allow her to possibly contemplate the fact that a ‘machine’ could perhaps make her better than she already was.
She would learn to control her powers on her own. And that was that… Narcissa looked quietly at the others, those who Magneto had brought to the Asteroid, finding Carlos among them… Would he do it? He had explained his powers to her once… Narcissa had felt his nightmares first hand... The terrifying screaming and hellish inferno's aside; If anyone had a reason to want more control she could see it being him.
'Please don't...', she thought quietly, shaking her head she breathed out softly… Would he be the same person if he underwent the procedure? It was changing things that had been born into them, making the natural unnatural, and somehow she found it wrong… Who knew what that machine did? Narcissa knew she certainly didn’t understand the schematics of it all, she was no rocket scientist… But what if something went wrong?
She agreed with Aaron and Victoria whole heartedly… There was too much unknown… Too much that was left to chance and the four winds.
Her eyes narrowed faintly. Bucket head could not be trusted. And, she grimaced, he was fashion impaired.

Taken aback by the females comment about a match box he scowled then looked over at Narcissa who seemed deep in thought. He went over to her side and put his arm around her waist in a comforting type of way not in the 'hey baby lets go do the dirty' type of way. "You alright, you seem like you're about to be lost in your own mind there."
Zion chose to ignore Victoria's comment yet still muttered "Dumb b***h." Under her breath. Zion looked back at her own teammate that had spoken out against this happening and just cocked an eyebrow at Liz. "Who cares what he bloody gets out of it. I've gone to long in fear of hurting people I care about if my powers got out of control. I'm going for it and not a single bloody one of you can stop me." The red-head said in a low dangerous tone.

"I assure all of you, the process is quite safe. A bit disorienting, in much the same way that a camera flash is, but no more than that," Raze said, trying to reassure everyone. "Magneto has asked nothing in return. Whatever else you may want to say about him, he is honest. He's given me my greatest wish. How could that be wrong?" he reasoned.
"You know what? I'm going in. I've got the fast healing, so if anything does go wrong, I'm the most likely to recover from it," Morgan said, stepping towards the machine. He strode past the opening, and into the chamber, before turning around to face the group outside.
"A wise choice, my young friend. This will only take a moment," Magneto said, grinning under his helmet as he slid the door back in place.
"I'll be fine, I promise," Morgan said, as the chamber was shut.
