Magneto had been nice enough to return it once he had gotten what he wanted. He always was generous when he believed he had the upper hand.
It had taken a full 12 hours to reach Nerima from where she had been dropped off in England.
Magneto’s latest plan had been even worse then his usual ones. He had wanted her to infiltrate a school in Gloucester that had been teaching mutants and humans openly and make it look like the mutants had been being mistreated and enslaved by the instructors.
His plan had called for a complete massacre of everyone at the school to raise tensions between the two races. The fact that it was just a grade school was unimportant to him.
He had been getting really desperate lately. When the war he had been anticipating had failed to appear he had tried to start it himself, only to find that there were too many level heads on both sides for his plans to work.
Memories of the death camps had been haunting his dreams with increasing frequency. It showed in his actions. He would probably murder half the world if it would get him what he wanted, a future where the camps weren’t a possibility, at least not for his side.
She idly wondered what he would do when he realized that, if he hadn’t already. It would explain his increasingly irrational behavior.
Slipping into her Nodoka persona she wrapped the sword in silk and shifted her form to match.
It was time to wake Hermes. Hopefully it wouldn’t take too long. He had picked up a shifting curse so his memories should be close to the surface. God knows he had spent much too much time playing ‘Genma’ to be fully awake.
The danger of being a shifter, playing a role too long and falling ‘asleep’ allowing the created persona to run the show.
Just look at Happosai and Cologne if you had any doubts. They were prime examples of shifters asleep at the wheel. They retained just enough memories of their true selves to work with the others in raising and training the latest generation, but not enough to keep them from acting like the shortsighted characters they had decided to play.
