[color=gold][i]The world has changed... 

18 months ago a large mutant attack was waged against the UN Headquarters after it was rumored that they may be testing a new, more lethal, variety of sentinels.

When the news leaked many of the younger X-Men were eager to strike to prevent the sentinels from seeing the light of day. Professor Xavier disapproved of this, and forbid any X-Men from participating in any kind of organized strike, though many of the younger mutants completely disobeyed this, launching an offensive against the UN Headquarters to destroy the Sentinels. What they didn't know, however, was that the brotherhood organized a strike at the same time, targeting the Residency for many of the prominent UN Delegates. 

The X-Men were able to successfully destroy the Sentinels, though they were caught on camera doing so. However, the brotherhood was also successful, assassinating several key members of the UN, as well as guests to the UN including the President of the United States, the Queen of England, the Prime Minister of Germany, as well as multiple other delegates and heads of state. 

In the aftermath of the attacks, there was absolute chaos. Fingers were pointed in every direction imaginable, until footage of the X-Men breaking into the UN Headquarters surfaced, and all of those fingers pointed directly to Xavier Mansion. Swiftly, and with the support of nearly the entire UN, Marshall Law was declared in the United States, and the army was deployed to Xavier Mansion, demanding the immediate surrender of Xavier, and attempting to arrest all of the X-Men caught on tape. 

When the arrests took place, many of the prominent X-Men were away from the mansion on other business, leaving the mansion terribly undefended. With the new Sentinels that survived the attack on the UN, these new Sentinels able to absorb mutant abilities, as well as temporarily disable telepaths through this ability. Though Xavier attempted to negotiate with the army officials, some of the younger X-Men attempted to push the troops back, sparking a firefight in which many of the prominent X-Men were presumed dead, and the mansion itslef destroyed. The current presumed KIA list includes:
Jean Grey
Storm
Colossus
Iceman
Professor Xavier
Mystique
Scarlet Witch
Gambit
Jubilee

After the attacks, the remaining X-Men either dispersed, or went underground together. Beast retired, deciding to go into politics in a desperate attempt to find some sympathy in the law for mutants. Wolverine walked away from the team entirely, going somewhere into the Middle East, and, in a surprising twist, Magneto - overcome by guilt for the brotherhood's part in causing Charles' death- opted to lead the remaining band of X-Men, deemed Team X.

Using an abandoned S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, lost when the agency had to cut its resources back following the Hydra Reveal, Magneto has begun building a team of mutants that can help them regain their strength. While he and the other popular mutants cannot venture out into the outside world much, due to the prevalence of cameras that use facial recognition for known criminals, terrorists, and X-Men, these mutants can. The mutant Caliban has been working alongside Kurt Wagoner, Nightcrawler, to find and bring new mutants to the bunker. 

Scott Summers tried to stay with the remaining X-Men, but training, and being around their old friends always reminded him of his dead wife and unborn child, and he eventually left, moving to the Gulf of Mexico to drink his life away.

Erik Lehnsherr looked older than he ever had in his life. His once blonde hair was running more grey than blonde, and his eyes were sunken in, though not lacking in the passion that they had always held during his many years. He rested a hand on Havok's shoulder, turning to look the younger, clearly grieving mutant in the eyes and giving him a reassuring smile that could have been meant to help either of them,

[color=0072bc]"The new recruits will get here safely Alex.. it'll be alright."[/color]


Havok pursed his lips [color=a36209]"It's not really that I'm worried about sir.. I'm just still struggling to get on without Scott here. How are you? You haven't seemed to take it as hard as the rest of us." [/color]

The older man gave a sad smile at Havok before turning his eyes towards the incoming transport that should be carrying some of the recruits,

[color=0072bc]"I'm a holocaust survivor Alex... I saw my parents and everyone I loved gassed at a young age. I mourn Charles more than anyone in this room will ever know, as I do Raven, but I understand the greater purpose."[/color]

As his statement finished, the ramp on the transport that was carrying the mutants to the training facility. The bunker itself was large enough to necessitate these. The mutants would have been recruited by Kurt, before being teleported to a holding area in the bunker, to be then transported via large hovering personnel carriers.
