Content/Author Notes: This is a little something I decided to write for the fun of it. Chapter lengths range from short to shorter. This story will end on December 1.

This story is very much a WIP. As such please note that while I intend there to be daily updates, I may end up skipping days. Also, the rating on this story may end up increasing to 'M' but that really depends on Pyro, Wanda, Gambit, and Rogue, and how, um, 'adventurous' they're feeling. No, seriously, it really does depend on that. These guys write themselves. I never know what they're going to get up to *eyes them suspiciously*.

Enjoy!

I recommend this because if you want to know what passes in the mind of a writer while writing this pretty much it.

I didn’t knew what a NanoWriMo was exactly before this fic so in case you also don’t know here some facts: A NanoWriMo starts the 1st of November and ends the 30th where the writer will submit a 175 pages novel (more or less) with at least 50,000 words within the 30 days of November.

Finishing her examination of the contents of Wanda’s room, replacing each object exactly back where she’d found it, Mystique moved downstairs, mulling over the added information she’d learned. None of the Brotherhood could keep secrets from her, not when they were under much closer surveillance than any of them knew. Wanda might like to think she could keep things from her, and Mystique was happy to let her think so, giving her security in the lie.

The other Brotherhood members had all been lured away on various pretexts without any of them being the wiser. Mystique wanted this conversation to be kept between her and Wanda. So she sat in the unaccustomed silence of the Brotherhood House and waited for Wanda to return.

It wasn’t an uncommon event really, but word of it had quickly spread through the school via the usual gossip channels and reached the ears of a certain British transfer student, who outwardly had shrugged and moved onto another topic. But Risty Wilde was much more than she appeared, and that little titbit of information was exactly what she had been hoping for, an opportunity to be seized.

So it was that on the Saturday morning that Evan had been called in, the purple haired British girl sat on a bench in Bayville Park right on the best and shortest skateboarding route between the Mansion and Bayville High. Leaning back casually against the wooden slats, Risty tapped her foot in time to the music blaring loudly from her headphones, music which she just happened to know was the favourite of a certain student at the Xavier Institute...

Eyes closed, she was so busy chilling that Risty didn’t notice she was no longer alone until Evan was right next to her, causing her to jump almost out of her skin for a moment. “Aaah! Oh gosh sorry Evan, you really surprised me there.” Fluttering her hand a little, she looked him up and down, her expression switching from surprise to sympathy as she calmed down.  “I heard Principal Kelly had called you in today, tough break huh?”

Or so Mystique wanted her target to believe. Her powers were stronger now, her own senses and Irene confirmed that her ability to conceal herself was even greater than before. But to be sure she would need to put her abilities to the test, and as attempting to fool Xavier himself would be too much of a risk at this stage, so she had picked his too perfect girl-scout as an essential first stepping-stone.

Magneto had been active in Germany before, much to her own bitter regret, and although the castle that she didn’t want to think about was now rubble there were other secrets that might cause him to return. Her spies there were constantly alert for any signs of activity, so when one called in to report a visitor to the sleepy Alpine village that hid so many old secrets she hadn’t been surprised. Until she learned it was Xavier’s pet guard-dog. Obviously he had been sent by that bald fool to dig up information on herself or Magnus, information that she would not let him have!

The X-Men had no idea how closely she watched them, a surveillance operation that had her tapped into their communications via a satellite that the Pentagon thought that it had lost on launch the year before. That same satellite had it’s powerful cameras trained on North America, watching the continent generally but the Mansion in particular. She knew that Storm was away on an errand and a plan had begun to form in her mind.

If she was going to stop the hairy animal poking around it had to be now. Slipping a headset on, her fingers flew across the keyboard, inputting the radio frequency that the X-Men used, sending the coding that would identify her as another, and...

“Wolverine this is Storm come in. Wolverine this is Storm calling for urgent assistance.”

Mystique’s cover notes in order of importance.

Rogue

Get her back!

Wanda

Wanda’s potential clearly outstrips all other members of the Brotherhood, it is vital she is kept under the team. The girl is easily led and I believe she can be moulded to meet the challenges of the future. Magneto has altered the girl’s mind which is unfortunate, but I believe appropriate memory modification in future will restore her anger towards Magneto and gratitude to me, whilst retaining her improved control.

Weak point: An eagerness to please.

Status: Absolutely loyal

Avalanche

Alvers possesses undeniable talent but is held back by a rebellious attitude. I believe future conditioning will help in this regard and have scheduled an appointment with Emma to render him more...pliant. On the plus side he is loyal and more intelligent than the other three boys put together.

Weak point: Kitty Pryde

Status: Mostly loyal 

Quicksilver

Pietro can be used as potential leverage against Magneto, however the boy’s loyalty to him means he must be kept away from sensitive information and under observation as much as possible. His gifts are powerful however and my efforts should go to binding the boy to the Brotherhood as tightly as possible so I can continue to make use of them. The bond with his father must be broken.

Weak point: The desire to please his father.

Status: Potentially treacherous

Blob

Useful muscle, not to be used in any situations requiring planning or subtlety.

Weak point: His inner anger.

Status: Loyal

Toad

Barely of use. Can be utilised to deflect attacks from more important members of the team, otherwise will not survive long in combat.

Weak Point: His jealousy of others and feelings for Wanda.

Recently rumours had reached her attention about a young boy at an orphanage, Isaak Friedman. Reports from the Orphanage about other children going insane on a regular basis, rumours which linked the instances to Isaak, too many to ignore, which led to her obtaining his file through government channels. On reading it her suspicions led her to scheduling a meeting with the boy.

The door of the sedan with darkened windows opened and out stepped a woman in her early thirties with dyed blonde hair, smoothing her green business jacket reflexively as she walked into the Orphanage.  If it turned out the boy was not a mutant this would be a wasted trip. But Mystique hoped it was not and had prepared the necessary paperwork to begin the adoption process, moulding her features to appear close enough to Isaak’s to be a relative, a long-last aunt to be exaxt to speed the adoption even more.

“Lizzie Johannsen to see Isaak Friedman.” She told the receptionist, tapping manicured nails against the old wooden desk.
