24. No ultimatum.

Toad, Avalanche, Blob and Pietro were dangling in the air on their tip toes staring at me in horror.

"Now then, let's start off with some good news and some bad new." I say clapping my hands together. "Good new! Pietro your father magneto is dead, I took his powers and killed him." I smile at the boy who goes pale.

"Bad news, you no longer have a backer and now are just unwanted scum of society." I frown sadly.

"Good news! I'm in need of some powerful minions and you guys fit the bill." I smile once more.

"Bad news, I cant trust any of you at all." I frown sadly once more.

"Good news! I have a plan to solve that." I smile and walk towards toad and press my hand against his head before erasing nearly everything about himself and adjusting his mind to be the perfect servant under me. He stiffens up and becomes quiet and still.

"Bad news is, I'm going to completely erase your previous personalities, they are unsuited to being good minions. However this is better than the alternative. I was simply going to kill you and get rid of the bodies." I say as the other three get a horrified look.

After I'm done rewriting Toads memories and personality into being the perfect minion. Which is helped by my high speed thinking process. He will follow my orders obediently and to the death no matter what. Then I give him the ability to block mental intrusion, so unless you are a god then you can't even fix his mind. I doubt even I could get back inside his mind now.

I also make a small ball of adamantium and turn it into a needle injecting it into his chest. It forms a small cage around his heart that would be nearly impossible to remove. Just another fail safe you know.

The steel band around his neck loosens and he drops to the floor and stands there for a second as I move on to the next person Blob.

He screams and struggles but only lasts for a second.

"See it wouldn't have to be this way, however I simply can't put faith in you guys changing for the better. And being the benevolent person i am. I just have to help when i see someone in trouble." I smile at the other two while rewriting Blob down to the subconscious level and inserting the adamantium cage around his heart.

Once done the steel band around his neck slides off and he thumps onto the floor.

By now the other two are crying and begging.

I place my hand on Pietro's head.

"Dont worry this is all for the best. I'll get you proper training, you can make up to your sister as her personal butler and doting brother, I can have a high speed assassin everybody wins right?" it's a bit harder to work on Pietro's mind with his high speed thoughts but I have nothing but time and eventually his will crumbles.

Lance Aka Avalanche is the only one left covered in snot and tears.

"Why are you doing this?" He shouts in fear.

I place my hand on his head with a comforting smile. "I believe the man who fought the Spartans said it best. I am a kind god, all I require is for you to kneel!"

As I say that Lance's mind is fully altered and the steel band slips off and they all kneel down.

"Some say it is better to die on your feet fighting than kneeling on the ground begging. However I think it's a waste of resources don't you?" I ask the four.

"Yes master!" The all respond immediatly.

"Good, now clean up this pig sty." I demand and in a flash the entire apartment is cleaned by Pietro.

"Toad, from now on you will take a shower and be presentable, I dont want to smell your stink do you understand?" I ask the green skinned teen.

"Yes master."

"And no eating flies! Its disgusting." I add on.

"Yes master!"

"Blob! From now on your on a diet, you will also be working out. I dont need a fat out of shape fake juggernaut under me, I need a strong one do I make myself clear?" I speak to the 7 foot tall mammoth of a man.

"Yes master!" He says obediently.

"Pietro, tomorrow you will come with me to meet your sister and you will do everything in your power and beg for her forgiveness." I tell the silver haired teen.

"Yes master."

"As for you Lance! I dont really have many complaints, so I'm going to see about getting all of you some proper training in martial arts, and Assasination. I'm far too busy to deal with menial things like that." I explain.

"Thank you master." The all bow.

At that moment a notification goes off on my phone and I'm alerted my account on Switzerland just recieve close to 178 million In cash. Even I'm a little shocked by that much money.

"As soon as I find a viable option I'll get a base up and running, I'll have training gear and other equipment installed. Until now keep this place and yourselves clean, Pietro, look up a proper diet and exercise routine for the others in the meantime." I command.

"Yes master."

After that I figure I've had more than enough time out for the day and head back to the mansion.

Do I feel bad about brainwashing teens? Kind of. But after all the master of brainwashing Dumbledore once said.

It's for the greater good.

Besides I cant be everywhere at once, I need others to do some of the grunt work. After all eventually this world is going to go to shit and I dont want to be the only one stepping in it.

It's better to have them brainwashed than being useless corpses. As for the trio I killed? Insignificant. I'm not a fan of Sabertooth, Pyro is a mob character, And Magneto is a pain in the ass that just needed to die.
