As Ivan emerged from the wormhole, a clear voice greeted, "Welcome back, Dr. Ivan."
Before him stood a blond woman, her smile radiant. Her beauty adhered to the golden ratio, and despite her perfect face, standing there exuded an irresistible allure. Yet, Ivan remained unfazed.
"Red Queen, why maintain your current appearance? It requires energy, albeit minimal. Save where you can!"
"Humph! Ignoring a beauty like me is boring. Can't Dr. Ivan appreciate it?"
"How can a man say no? You, a robot, can't understand these things. Change back first."
Following Ivan's command, the blond beauty gradually shrank, turning into a red-haired little girl. No longer a three-dimensional phantom, she now possessed a tangible form. Ivan had upgraded her with Asgard Light Energy Technology as she desired a body. Ivan crafted an image imitating the Red Queen's little girl using Vibranium and precious magic metals. However, Red Queen grew dissatisfied, insisting on a more mature appearance. Unable to please her, Ivan integrated nano-robots, allowing her to change her image.
After pacifying her, Ivan instructed the Red to retrieve information about recent events on Earth and began reviewing it.
The situation on Earth had grown increasingly chaotic since Magneto's White House battle, exposing mutants to the world. While some humans expressed tolerance, most remained hostile, persecuting mutants. Mystique's covert actions improved the mutants' situation, turning her into a hero and savior.
Fast forward a few days, Mystique arrived at a mutant arena in the guise of a beautiful girl. Mutants were held captive in electric cages and forced to fight.
Mystique aimed to save the mutants. Entering the arena after a cage battle, she witnessed the Winged Warrior defeating a fat mutant. Opening an iron box, he revealed another mutant.
Upon seeing the new mutant, Mystique was shocked. Blue skin, strange lines, and a long tail identified him as her son, Nathan, the Blue Devil.
"What happened to Azazel?" Guilt-ridden for being away, Mystique hoped her son was safe. Despite years outside, she hadn't seen him. Little did she expect him to be captured.
The cage battle was in full swing, with Nathan teleporting effortlessly, eluding the pursuit of the Winged Warrior. However, due to the high-voltage connection, he remained trapped. The confined space intensified the chase, creating a tense standoff.
Mystique realized that rescuing her son solo amidst the crowded arena would be challenging. She needed to turn off the high-voltage electricity to enable the his escape through teleportation.
Taking swift action, Mystique attempted to clear the crowd and headed towards the electric switch. Amidst the cheers, the Blue Devil used his tail to ensnare the Winged Warrior and tossed him into the cage. The high-voltage shock injured the warrior's wings, fueling his enraged assault on the Blue Devil.
Growing more anxious, Mystique pressed forward, but another exclamation halted her. This time, the tone was more fearful.
Perceiving the shift in dynamics, Mystique paused again. A blue wormhole materialized in the cage, and a burly middle-aged man emerged, sharing the same tail shape as the Blue Devil, though with human-colored skin.
Mystique felt relief as she recognized Red Devil, her boyfriend. Thanks to Ivan's dye, the Red Devil's appearance was indistinguishable from a regular person, except for the untimely revealed tail due to the urgent situation.
Upon Red Devil's arrival, the arena supervisor tensed visibly, aware of the high-voltage connection in the cage. Without hesitation, gunfire erupted as machine guns unleashed a barrage of bullets toward the mutants.
Unfazed, the Red Devil conjured a blue barrier, shielding himself, the Blue Devil, and the Winged Warrior. The bullets bounced off the barrier, hitting the surrounding crowd, causing chaos and prompting an unexpected exodus.
Seizing the moment, the Red Devil produced a dark, short knife, effortlessly cutting a sizable opening in the cage. The high-voltage electricity posed no threat to him.
With his tasks complete, the Red Devil turned to the Winged Warrior and asked, " Can you leave now?"
The Winged Warrior, silent, swiftly flew out of the hole, dashing for safety. Red Devil turned to catch the Blue Devil, shouting, "Come back with me! You're not allowed to run off alone in the future."
Surprisingly, the Blue Devil stubbornly teleported away, declaring, "No! I'm not going back; I will find my mother."
The Red Devil's expression shifted abruptly. "I've told you, your mother is very busy now and has no time to see you. She'll come to you after a while. Go back with me and wait."
In the throes of adolescence, the rebellious Blue Devil refused to listen. "You've lied to me for years. My mother never came back. You must be keeping her from me."
Enraged, the Red Devil attempted to force the Blue Devil to leave. However, the clever Blue Devil teleported into the chaotic crowd, knowing that his father could sense spatial fluctuations. Teleporting too far risked detection, so blending into the crowd provided a better chance of escape.
By chance or fate, the Blue Devil found himself near Mystique, who had been following the cage events closely. Hearing the conversation between the Red Devil and the Blue Devil, Mystique, burdened with self-blame after her arrest, decided to help her son. Stripping clothes from a fallen man, she covered the Blue Devil, allowing them to slip unnoticed in the crowd.
Grateful for Mystique's assistance, the Blue Devil later discovered that Mystique was also a mutant. They became close friends, sharing everything, though Mystique never revealed her maternal connection, presenting herself as just a friend.
Amidst this warmth, tragedy struck with the untimely death of Magneto's wife and daughter. Leading mutants in a quest for their rights, Magneto, despite his position, felt lonely. Finding solace in a woman, though not a mutant, they fell in love and had a daughter.
Aware of his particular identity's peril to his wife and daughter, Magneto kept them in a secluded town for their safety, visiting them regularly. Despite his caution, a fateful encounter with an enemy one night led to a tragic siege during a visit to his daughter. Wanting to shield her from witnessing a gruesome scene, Magneto fought back but suffered a devastating loss as both his wife and daughter perished.
Devastated, Magneto erupted into a vengeful rampage. Thankfully, he retained some semblance of reason, refraining from involving the mutant forces under his control and opting for personal revenge.
Meanwhile, Ivan, stationed in the Skull Island underground base, meticulously examined recent events. Nuclear bombs inexplicably launched into space, the mutant school exploding, and Colonel Stryker leading a raid to capture Mystique—all drew Ivan's attention. A three-dimensional image of Moira McGott, a CIA agent, seized Ivan's focus.
Though Ivan had no deep connection with Moira beyond a fleeting encounter, the twist lay in Moira being the mother of his son. Knowing Chris would not stand idly by if her mother faced danger, Ivan anticipated Chris's involvement. Despite the original plot's resolution with the X-Men defeating Apocalypse, Ivan wondered about Chris's potential risks if drawn into the conflict again.
