Narcissa looked up at Aaron, slightly startled from her reverie, eyes moving swiftly from Carlos to the winged mutant. He was lucky that she was suppressing the energy flooding her body, otherwise he might have jerked away with third degree burns. The barest flinch that she gave was suppressed…She had given up on telling those at the institute to warn her before touching her. Narcissa sighed however… How did she convey to him that she was tempted to blast the machine into oblivion and end the discussion by force? The blonde haired girl was confident that she could decimate the Genetic Enhancer if she poured the energy she had gained since being in space. It was like a high, not the same as what she absorbed beneath the atmosphere on earth. This event would divide them… Was she the only one who saw it?
“We should not change what genetically will come in time… Not to mention that making deals with bucket head over there feels like a pact with the devil. You know… The kind that are signed in blood. You never know that he owns a piece of you until he wants something from you…”, she offered in a quiet voice to Aaron, not sure if anyone else could hear her, or cared to. “I’d like to believe that it’s some rare moment of altruism… But somehow I doubt that.”Her head tilted as she looked back towards Carlos… He seemed to be shielding himself… From sight, from notice… She wasn’t quite sure. She would have given anything to know what the grand scheme was…If it helped the others with no cost… It seemed like a dream. But no one gave freely for nothing… Every act, no matter how gracious could have selfish reasons behind it.

Kevin heard what Victoria and knew she was proably right, but the man in his head wouldn't give up "Kevin if you don't figure a way to go through I'll make you create a BBen." Kevin knew that wasn't a real good threat because all of the people here would be able to take it down. Then the vocie said "Fine. You will pay for your incompetance later." Then he say Aaron put his arm around Narcissa and envied whatever relationship, just friendship or more. Kevin was starting to make friends, but he still fealt a little lonely and wanted something more than just an aquantance.
Then Kevin saw Morgan agree. Kevin was a little shocked to see him do it. He agreed with what Narcissa said too. He decided to say something now instead of just standing around. He then said softly "I agree with you Narcissa, but it looks like other people don't. I don't know what their reasons would be though.

Carlos nodded to Morgan as he decided to be a ginea pig for the machine. He looked at the others that had walked in and looked at Narcissa who felt had been staring at him. He lipped "I'm sorry" to her not sure if she got it. He stepped behind who ever would go after morgan not listening to any arguements. Control weather it was him or magneto. Atleast no one could get hurt or go insane just from being around him.

Zion happened to be next in line after Morgan. She looked behind her to see Carlos step into line. She narrowed her eyes at him then looked back at the machine with no emotion on her face. In just a few minutes she would be in control of her powers and she smiled slightly. Zion was giddy with anticipation as she waited for Morgan to be finished.
Aaron looked down at Narcissa through half closed eyes as she spoke to him. He knew how she felt about this because he was feeling the same dread and had been the minute the jet had landed on this astroid. "I know but sometimes even when a person sees that they choose to ignore it, hun. Even if I had the most destructive power in the world I wouldn't even think about it though. It all seems to good to be true. Somethings not right with it." He said to her quietly.
When he looked up he saw Carlos get in line behind the firestarting female that had threatened him minutes ago.

Hmm, so Dairus is getting in line too? Wonder where Kidd is... Zion thought scanning the small crowd of people that weren't in line. In her palm she did what she used to when she was younger and got bored, she created four small balls of flames. No bigger then a small bead and made them dance around in the same manner that a laser light would at a techno show.

Narcissa blinked as Carlos joined the line, her heart sinking, stomach dropping as Aaron spoke... It was wrong, it was all wrong. Her fist clenched as she caught the mouthed apology, her sapphire eyes slowly filling with liquid gold. Nothing came without a price... "I bet there's some dangerous side effects...", she murmured, having caught Kevin agreeing with her. Were they so desperate for control? Was everything really that bad that they would jump into some -thing- to gain control. Narcissa herself remained outright terrified of the damage her powers could cause... Energy licked angrily at her palm...
If something seems too good to be true... It usually is. Why did they not understand that? This man had -abducted- mutants just to offer them Sanctuary? No. It simply didn't work that way... Her head turned away. She could not, would not bring herself to watch this. But if it was what they chose... What could she do? "Goddess... Aaron... It isn't right... Something is very wrong...", her docile tones were urgent as she tried to keep her elevated powers at bay...

Damion wondered if it was possible to speed things up a bit... The machine looked like it would hold for two people without a problem but then, he did not know the technical issues unless he powered the machine himself. He got in line behind Darius without a sound. The way he saw it, there was nothing left to say.

"Are you ********' serious?"
Victoria couldn't believe her eyes. After all that was said, and what points were made, the winners still decided to go through with it. As the winners silently forming a line in front of the Enhancer, Victoria was even more shocked to see Morgan, of all people, go first. She could have sworn on a bible that he was smarter then that. Couldn't he...couldn't they see that this blue chick and this helmet guy were evil, and that the only think that could come from this machine was more evil?
Twitching slightly with nervousness, Victoria glanced at Aaron and Narcissa. Judging by the concerned look on their faces, they shared her feelings on the matter. But what could they do? Though it pained her to see her so called friends make what could be the biggest mistake of their lives, there was nothing any of them could do to stop them. None of them were little kids. They were all old enough to take care of themselves and make their own decisions. As much at it hurt, they had to respect that.

"The process is complete," Magneto said, pulling aside the door. There was a bit of mist in the room now, which spilled out along the floor.
Morgan was still standing in the center of the room, and he grinned. "See? Told you I'd be fine," he said, stepping from the machine.
He moved to brush a few hairs from his face, when he noticed something odd. "Huh... When did I dye my hair?" he thought aloud, tugging a lock down in front of his face. Instead of being the peroxide white it normally was, Morgan's hair was now pitch black.
"Geuss I got a makeover too. Well, let's see if everything works," he said. He quickly tested out his limbs, making sure they were still in working order. "Yep, everything's still working," he added. "Time to test out my powers."
He raised a hand, and formed a single bubble in it. "I've been trying to do this for years, now let's see if it works," he said, focusing on the bubble. It flickered for a moment, and twisted itself into the shape of a hammer. "Something more complicated..." He twitched his hand, and the hammer folded in on itself, and reformed into the shape of another hand. "Haha!! It works!!" Morgan laughed.
"Now, let's try something else. Victoria, throw something at me. Anything," he said, wanting to see if the machine had boosted his physical powers as well.

Zion looked over at Morgan as he came out. "Finally." Since she was the next in line she stepped into the machine and waited for Magneto to close the door since there didn't appear to be a switch anywhere for that. "Lets get this show on the bloody road."
"I know." He stated looking at her. Aaron glanced over at Victoria and saw she had the same look as he and Narcissa had and with a sigh he turned his attention to Morgan who had just stepped out of the machine.

Narcissa could do nothing but shake her head as Morgan exited the chamber… She breathed in sharply as she caught sight of his now platinum locks… His stature seemed different as well. Had he gotten older? She wasn’t sure. Dangling earrings jangled in her ears as her eyes went flat. This was stupid. They all knew better, but the promise of power could turn the nicest people into pig headed idiots… The Brotherhood she could understand. They were all about power and advancement…
A sharp crackle entered her ears as her head left Aarons shoulder to glance down at her side. Bright light wove fleetingly about her fingers, responding to her emotional distress. Immediately her hand clenched and she frowned… Narcissa couldn’t remember the last time her mutation had reacted so violently to something. If she remembered correctly, it had been Carlos that had calmed her down… Yet it seemed that he was no longer an option, and as such she cycled the energy throughout her body, her sapphire eyes filling with gold. They were fierce and intent; there was nothing else she could do… Asteroid M was not a good place for her to be.
At this rate, it wasn’t a good place for anyone to be… It hadn’t looked all that stable when they’d come in… She doubted it would take any hard core effort to bring it down.

Barely a minute had passed before Magneto declared the process complete and Morgan emerged from the mutant microwave. She was surprised to see that he looked exactly the same, yet not. His personality and overall persona was intact, but oddly enough his hair had changed from platinum blond to space void black. It didn't look bad on him, just different.
For a moment or two Morgan focused on taking his new found ultimate control for a test drive before asking Victoria to do the oddest of things.
"You want me to throw something at you?" She asked, checking to make sure he heard him correctly.
As expected, her hearing was fine, and Morgan did indeed want something lugged at him by her. Looking around, Victoria found grapefruit sized rock which she picked up in her throwing arm. Getting a good grip on it, she turned back toward Morgan before winding up and hurling not tossing the rock in his direction.

Carlos watched as Morgan came out diffrent but otherwise seemingly fine. He then felt daggers in his side as he looked back at the group. He noticed Narcissa most of all who seemed more like she was going to destroy the entire room. Standing in line one person away from the same thing as morgan, it should feel good. But instead it felt like he was about to be executed with friends and family watching. He was having second thoughts. Narcissa about to melt through the floor wasn't helping. Morgan seemed to have the power now to maybe contain her, all he could do is take her into a void as black as space and give her nightmares. If this machine could fix that then it would atleast be worth to try.
