Erik had always had a flare for dramatics
Who: Magneto, OTA
What: Magneto returns to make the grand departure
When: Saturday morning
Where: Haven driveway
Erik had always had a flare for dramatics. He wanted to make the leaving of the Haven, the creation of the Brotherhood a truly memorable thing. He wanted to come in force with aircraft and music... okay, perhaps not music. Regardless, he felt a bit let down at himself as he arrived at the Haven in a black and purple chartered bus. A U-haul van was coming close behind for any furniture or larger belongings those who chose to follow him would want to bring. It was practical and financially easy enough to pull off, but still slightly disappointing to Magneto. At least the bus was quite nice and that made it more impressive.
Erik stepped out of the bus and waited, holding his breath without his fully noticing. He was confidant in his cause, in what he and even a handful of the gifted individuals here at this Haven could do if they combined their powers, but what if no one else was? What if leaving the Haven was too difficult for too many? What if no one came? He had not taken a show of hands of followers before he left, he was putting both his dream and his ego at serious risk just now. He knew the word would spread rapidly as soon as the bus met the gate, so he saw no need to announce himself. He had no reason for a speech, the preaching had all happened last week. So Erik did the only thing he could: He waited, and made himself available to those who might have questions or concerns. He only hoped no one would get zealous or emotional and attempt to pick a fight with him.
