Erik had taken the weekend away from the Mansion, back to South Africa to be with his kids he told Xavier, the truth was slightly close, he was visiting his kids. But he was going to Genosha, not South Africa, he had a country that needed to remember that he was its loving ruler.
Having no interest in straining himself with a giant flight by his own powers, so flew the old fashioned way, on a plane. He flew in to South Africa, drove to his house there and then flew to Genosha, arriving in not the guise of Erik, but the guise of Magneto.
The red and purple Ruler arrived in his palace, taking position on his throne, a quick glance to his Equerry, who had met him as he arrived. "My Children? Where are they? Let them know I have arrived."

Sitting in the study, Wanda in her usual attire found herself curled up on the couch with a novel laying in her lap ready to be read. Just as she was about to crack open her book, she was interrupted by a servant who had an announcement for her. Receiving the news about her father's return home, Wanda's face lit up. She was very excited to see him and wondered how long his stay would be. Almost immediately, Wanda left the study and walked to her father's throne room, where she saw him sitting up in his glory as ruler of Genosha.
"Daddy!" she cried running up to his throne and pausing before him to take a bow in respect. "It's good to have you home. We've missed you."

Pietro was sitting in his office, his hand a blur as his pen weilding hand tore across the page writing his report, he used to have a computer but he found it couldn't keep up with the rate he tapped the keys., so he stuck to pen and paper...he also found it gave it a more...personal touch, despite the fact it was only a report.
He heard a noise and turned to see a servant enter. His Father had returned...and for a moment his heart leapt. He stood and sped through the royal familiy's palace and in several seconds he skidded to a halt just behind Wanda. He smiled as he saw his Sister run up to the throne...she was the twin that could get away with that. He straightened placing his hands behind his back as he said "Lord Magnus...Father, it is good to have you here. I am going to be visiting America in the next few days so it is a good turn that you came here first"

And his children arrived! Once Wanda had welcomed him back, the Lord of Genosha arose from his throne and closed the distance between the two, three by the time he actually reached them, as Pietro moved in, as fast as always. The German mutant opened his arms to embrace his children, a smile on his some what blocked face. "My children, I have missed you." he informed with no hesitancy.
"Now tell me, what has been happening of Genosha that I should be aware?"

Wanda smirked as Pietro made his entrance in a blur like always and giving their father an ever so formal greeting. He was going to America, really? She didn't recall him ever telling her this piece of information. Either way, Wanda's attention was set back on her father who hugged the twins. The love fest didn't last long...he didn't waste time in asking for an update of Genosha.
"Well, nothing has really happened. Just the same old mutant paradise it's always been. At least I don't have anything to report. Maybe Pietro does?" she turned to her twin.

Pietro always felt a bit awkward hugging his Father, despite the fact he loved it. This quick embrace was more awkward then normal though...considering his Father was dressed in his red and purple suit. He'd always seen his Father as a slight split personality....there was Father who could be kind and understanding...then there was Magneto, divine ruler and savior of mutant kind. Pietro had seen a lot of Magneto in his time, what with the leaving Israel with Nazi gold and the building of Genosha.
He looked at his Sister as she spoke about the lack of goings on in Genosha, she was looking exceptionally beautiful today, as she did every day and just being around either of his siblings inspired a deeply routed nurturing instinct in him. He felt he had to protect them from everything and everyone that had the possibility of doing them harm. He noticed after a few moments he was being stared at and he shook his head, he must've been lost in a day dream..."Sorry...I apologise, drifted off there for a moment...well nothing big has happened here, but as I mentioned...America, I'm going to be going there as I want to arrange a protest...for Mutants in New York, I think it's time we started causing trouble for the homo-sapiens...start to take what is ours"

Rak, rak, rak~!
Rippling waves of conductive energy surged throughout the room, a sort of announcement for the arrival of approaching royalty. "Father dearest, it has been far too long." she spoke, finally revealing herself to the rear and left of Magneto. How long she had been there was anybody's guess, but only Lorna truly knew. "While it is disappointing to hear from elsewhere, I have more riveting news to report."
Rak, rak, rak~!
Extending her right arm, Lorna's electro-magnetic field crackled before lowering to more respectable levels. "According to what I have heard, Emma Frost has two potentially useful additions. Muta... I mean, homo-superiors by the aliases of Lifeguard and Mimic." Surely Magneto had heard of them, or at least knew their faces; those two were unique in the sense they, well, if guided, could be practically unlimited in their prowess. "I've been concocting possible means to... influence their positions. I use my time in more productive manners, daddy."

Pietro peered a little suspiciously at Lorna as she entered seemingly from no where behind their Father. He was surprised she could be there...and how long could she be there? she made so much noise with that field of her's that they could normally hear her before she appeared. A niggling of frustration tickled the back of his neck when his Sister said the word 'disappointing' and he gave Wanda a side glance that more or less said can you believe her.[/b]
He waited for her to finish before using his super speed to move at mach ten behind her. He spoke in a cool manner that seemed polite but definetly had some ice to it. Was he trying to be intimidating? definetly...but he couldn't be blaitant about it...he loved Lorna with all his heart but he hated it when she insisted on upstaging him "Dear sister...you'd think from the way you speak you're intentionally trying to make us look bad..." with another quick sprint he was back to his orignal position next to Wanda "But spying on school children? please...we've a country to run whilst you're taking part in activities that get's most participants put on a register"

Pietro was fast, Lorna admitted. But he was quicker to speak before thinking, too. No harm done in having the speedster standing behind her; it probably would not be the last time.
"If you have time to interpret my tone, you should use your time more wisely." she replied, not as an insult or smart remark, merely a suggestion. "No one is trying to upstage you, I merely serve the sovereign of Genosha. No more, no less. If we are to bring about change, we must have the power behind our message. Idle cattle does not move, unless pushed." Yes, that about summed it all up. Of course there remained the issue of the speedster's other comment, this so-called spying.
"And I suppose staging a protest is to win us merit?" Idiot, if he believed waving clenched fists and shouting would do anything, then Polaris would shrug him off. However he was family, she would tolerate it longer than usual. "To those new to our sanctuary, rattling around would be no different than the humans who rally against us, against them. At least with useful additions to our ranks, we present a favorable, undeniable image of victory. Father can lead, but what he leads is just as important."

"A mutant riot? Don't be daft boy! The world is not prepared for mutants yet, it is barely knowledge we exist outside of their governments, and some riot is not how they shall learn of our existence at large. Just when I think you are coming into the man I always dreamed my son would be, you prove me suggest something so foolish." Magneto had been happy to sit back and let the kids talk for the time being, but that idea had to be put to a stop right off the bat. Besides....what was there to riot about? Nothing....yet. The yet was a part of he was sure.
"Now, Lorna, what do you know of those mutants? There are more then enough at the Mansion for me to concern myself with, I don't have time to study Emma's children."

Lorna....oh yes, the eldest of the 3 children of Magnus. Where she had came from was as good as anyone's guess, but none the less she was there and as usual playing kiss ass with their father. Wanda had caught Pietro's glance and completely knew what he was thinking and she agreed. Though Pietro had no problems in calling out their older sister Wanda had pretty much learned to just remain quiet whenever the two spoke out of courtesy and just to stay out of any kind of crossfire with words.
There was a lot of rivalry between the 3 of them, it was no lie, especially on who would be Magneto's successor to the throne. Lorna, the eldest and who possessed the same abilities as their father and Pietro, the first and only son. Wanda never thought of herself in the competition of who would become the next ruler of Genosha and who would be the favorite child of Magneto. Didn't matter to Wanda because she knew that she was always the special one in her father's eyes in being the youngest, his little princess and potentially the most powerful of his children.
Just when I think you are coming into the man I always dreamed my son would be, you prove me suggest something so foolish."
Ouch. Even Wanda felt that punch to the ego, though her father had a point. Mutants had not been exposed to the world and a riot would not be an intelligent way to make their presence known. Wanda set a comforting hand on her twins back, giving it a light rub in an attempt to comfort her brother and soften the blow of Magneto's words.
"Yes dear sister, since you seem to be so knowledgeable of Emma's school and you're so much more productive and less of a disappointment..." Wanda looked to Lorna with a genuine smile. "Elaborate on your findings. Enlighten us."

Pietro's face looked like a mask of neutrality but inside he was fuming. How dare he shoot down his riot...collecting more mutants for Genosha? what were they going to do? hide on this little private island until the humans discovered it and decided to have their own secret genocide? His father was wise...but he had the feeling he was being twisted by his older sister somewhat in this decision. Despite his belief that if they were alone Magneto would accept the need for his sort of action the knock back didn't help him very much.
Letting out a deep breath he stood more formally then he had done. At least Wanda was with him...siding against Lorna and her attempt to wrestle their Father's affections away from his youngest twins. He decided to add to Wanda's argument with "I'm also wandering how exactly you're planning to...influence these mutants in to our land with out Ms Frost finding out and Genosha being uncovered. She is quite the specimin...so I've been told"

Pietro off her back, Lorna was free to resume her activities. Further encouraged by her father, and by Wanda looking for something, the eldest of the siblings spoke. "As we all know, Genosha must maintain its secrecy. To ensure it remains as such, intelligence is necessary to deflect or stamp out anything to risk endangering that; I watch, I listen." she said, making sure to stress the importance of the island remaining outside of the commoner's knowledge, and to tack on a depth of foreshadowed information.
"While there are some patches to fix, this much is certain." she indirectly eluded to not having everything needed, intelligence-wise. But she had enough, and she continued on. "Ms. Frost possesses two additions to her ranks that, quite frankly, do not belong to one such as herself." Lorna had nothing personal against the White Queen, she just disliked any sort of spoiled brat having so much influence on mutant affairs. "The one called Mimic is able to take on powers, any and as many as he can handle. Lifeguard, she is capable of adapting via reactivity to a threatening ability; she's a kettle of possibility."
Now, the punchline:
"Naturally, if they were to be brought under your care father, they could serve your ambitions well."
