Issue #1
The army was stationed outside of the whitehouse, waiting to move in. They couldn't now because Evil Mutant Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil mutants were holding the President and everyone in the whitehouse hostage. Things may seem bad now, but they are about to get a whole lot worse.

The Mutant Wars!

It all started about two weeks prior to this day. The United States called a meeting of the UN to discuss the "problem" the world was having with mutants. Many were either using their powers for evil or just couldn't control them, thus, making them a danger to everyone around them. The President was talking on behalf of the United States to try and persuade the UN to do something drastic. They were all assembled in the UN headquarters to discuss whether or not to go to War with the mutants.

"You can't possibly expect us to declare war on Mutants," The Prime Minister of Canada, a peace keeping country, demanded. "The mutants are a race of people, not an invading country." It would later be revealed the Canadian Prime Minister at the time was indeed a mutant himself.

The Canadian made a stand not to go to war but sadly, the majority sided with the United States.

Hours later, the United States Government handed a book of all known mutants to the General of the United States Army. From there, the army went door to door, taking mutants to concentration camps and work camps. The lucky ones went into hiding.

Meanwhile, the X-Men were back at the Xavior School, watching the news on their giant television in the auditorium. When that news section ended, they turned off the tv. Everyone was speechless, until Professor X. took the stage.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention," He started. "It seems that the government has stopped funding this school as of noon today. But there is hope yet. This school is going up for auction. I have a few friends that agreed to buy it for us. You may know them as Captain America, Iron-Man, Henry Pym, Janet Van Dyne, and Reed Richards. They have agreed to pay the expenses and let us stay here until this "War" is over."

The crowd clapped and wooed and Professor X couldn't help but smile at there cheerfulness. Then his face went back to being very grim, "However, we can't leave this building for any reason until the war is over. No going outside, stay away from the windows, and and communication to the outside world whatsoever." The crowd grew silent again, shocked at what they just heard.

Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops, took the stage. "We will also try our hardest to make this mansion seem like normal. That means normal classes. So finish your lunch and go to your next class." Even Wolverine thought that was a little harsh. Professor X took the microphone back from Cyclops.

"Students, I realize most o you will have to take time to soak this all in so until further notice, class dismissed. moan the halls as you please. And if any of you are feeling stressed about this, feel free to speak to any of your teachers." Professor X looked over at Wolverine who was leaning against the wall, shaking his head at him. "Except Mr. Howlet." He them put the mic back on the stand and rolled into his office.

A few kids talked to the teachers, but most of them either were acting tough and holding back tears in front of their friends, or silently crying in the bathrooms.
