MAGNETO'S HEIR

PART ONE: MEETINGS & ARRIVALS

BY HOWLING WOLF

"So where does this Eric Lensher live?" asked Ranma.

"He lives in America dear, where you two will be joining him." Answered Nodoka.

Ranma and Nabiki exchanged puzzled looks at that.

"Uh, Auntie why are we going to America?" Nabiki finally asked

"For protection Nabiki. Until Ranma learns to control his mutant power he is a danger to himself and all those around him." Said Nodoka.

Ranma blanched as the thought of hurting innocent people came to mind. Or people he knew realized Ranma.

"Nabiki maybe you should stay here instead." Ranma said nervously.

Nabiki smiled at him. "Why Ranma-kun, are you worried about my safety? Don't worry Ranma I trust you. Besides I admit to being curious as to what your real father is like."

Ranma still looked doubtful. "I don't know…"

"I think it would be best that Nabiki goes with you, son. I have little doubt that your other fiancés would leave her alone." Nodoka pointed out.

Letting out a groan, Ranma nodded his head in defeat. He had forgotten about the rest of the Nerima Wrecking Crew. With his luck they would be waiting for him and Nabiki at the airport.

Charles Xavier's School for the Gifted, Bayville…

Charles Xavier couldn't help but stare at the man that stood in front of him. To his surprise Eric had returned from his vacation sooner than Charles had expected. Upon meeting Charles, Eric told his friend of the call he had received from Nodoka.

"I can send Logan over in the Blackbird." Offered Charles.

Eric shook his head. "No. Nodoka said that she would take care of the travel arrangements. But I thank you any way Charles."

Charles merely nodded his head. He still had several questions for his friend, but Charles sensed that now was not the time. Not for the first time the leader of the x-men wondered what his friend's new son was like.

Ranma sat nervously in the plane as it took off. Sitting next to him Nabiki watched Ranma out of the corner of her eye. She found it amusing that Ranma could face the toughest of opponents without flinching, but was made nervous simply by flying on an airplane.

Deciding to calm her fiancé's nerves some Nabiki laid her hand on top of Ranma's. The contact seemed to help as Ranma sighed deeply and began to relax. As the plane took off Nabiki off Nabiki found herself drifting off to sleep.

Ranma startled when he felt something lean on his shoulder. Looking next to him he saw that Nabiki had fallen asleep. Yawning, Ranma decided that Nabiki had the right idea; it was a long flight after all.

Several hours later…

Eric found himself waiting in the New York airport's lounge with Pietro and Wanda. The two had been shocked to discover that they had another sibling. To Eric's surprise they had insisted on joining him meeting Ranma's flight.

(Flashback)

Pietro sighed as he looked at his watch for the millionth time. Excited as he was at meeting his new brother waiting was not one of Pietro's virtues. Wanda threw an annoyed glace at her brother. He really was starting to annoy her with him constantly checking his watch. She hoped that Ranma was not a thing like him. Turning her attention to her father Wanda couldn't contain her curiosity any longer.

"Father just how did you meet Ranma's mother?" Wanda asked.

"It was just shortly before I met your mother Wanda. Before Charles and I went our separate ways of viewing the world. We had gone to Japan to hear a lecture on the theory of possible mutations in the human gene. Needless to say Charles and I did not stay long at the lecture.

"We spent the remainder of the day walking through the nearby neighborhood. We were just passing a dojo when I saw her. She was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. Her hair was the shade of fire, with the figure of a model." Eric said as his eyes began gazing back over the years past.

Wanda blinked. She had never heard her father talk like this before. From the corner of her eye Wanda saw that Pietro too had become interested in their father's story. Wanda couldn't help but notice that for the first time in as long as she could remember they were behaving like a real family. Before Eric could continue his story the gate terminal announced the arrival of the flight from Japan.

The three of them waited patiently as the plane debarked. It wasn't long before Eric saw two Japanese teenagers slowly following the back of the crowd. A boy and a girl. This surprised Eric since he had assumed that his son would be coming alone. He had little doubt that the boy was his son. The young man fit the description that Nodoka had given Eric perfectly.

But who was the girl with him? Nodoka had not mentioned any one else traveling with Ranma. The two were only a few feet away when they stopped and began to looking around as if they were trying to find someone. `Probably looking for me.' Eric thought.

"Ranma! Ranma over here!" Eric called.

Ranma was glad when the plan finally landed at the airport. After waking Nabiki up as the plane was landing Ranma eagerly looked forward to getting off the plane. He and Nabiki waited for all the other passengers to pass them before leaving their seats. Uncertain as to what awaited him in the airport, Ranma had decided to play it same and come off the plane last.

Now he was looking about the airport for what Ranma wasn't certain. Unfortunately his mother had not given him a picture of his father. A slight error that had now come back to haunt Ranma. Ranma turned his head as he heard his name being called. He saw a white haired man standing next to two other teenagers. The man called Ranma's name again and waved them over.

"C'mon Ranma-kun it looks like it's time to meet the family." Nabiki said.

Ranma inwardly groaned at the pun Nabiki had made. Luckily for both Ranma and Nabiki, English was the one language that they understood as well as their own native Japanese.

The man smiled as Ranma walked up to him with Nabiki.

"It's nice to meet you at last son." Eric said.

"Yeah, uh same here." Ranma said scratching the back of his head.

"Father I think that there are a few more introductions to be made." Said Wanda.

Eric nodded. "Yes of course. Ranma this is your half brother and sister."

Wanda smiled at Ranma and Nabiki. While Pietro merely yawned. This earned him an elbow in the ribs from Wanda.

"Hi I'm Wanda and this rude oaf is Pietro. So Ranma who is your friend?" asked Wanda.

Nabiki returned Wanda's smile. She a feeling that she was going to like Ranma's sister a lot.

"My name is Nabiki Tendo. It's nice to meet you as well."

"So how come you came along with our brother?" Pietro asked.

"Ranma-kun here is my fiancé. Of course I would come with him to meet the rest of his family." Nabiki said with a grin.

Wanda and Pietro stared at her in shock. Their brother didn't look to be more than a year older then them. And he was engaged already? Ranma recognized the looks of shock and puzzlement that were on his siblings face. He could not believe that Nabiki had just said that out loud. He had hoped that he would not have to go into explanations so soon.

"It's a long story. One I'd rather not tell you, but I will since there are things about me that you will need to know." Sighed Ranma.

Eric nodded. "Yes your mother told me that there are things in your life that no other person has had to deal with."

For a moment Ranma felt a stab of panic. Would his new found family reject him because of his curse? He hoped not, but after his experiences in Nermia Ranma couldn't be certain.

"Did she say what those things were?" Ranma asked anxiously.

"No, Nodoka said that they were things that only you had the right to reveal." Eric said sensing his son's nervousness.

"As much as I enjoy family reunions this is hardly the place for one." Said Nabiki.

"Quite right. We'll just pick up your bags and then head over to where you'll be staying." Eric nodded in agreement.

Ranma blinked. "Where we'll be staying? I thought that we would be living with you."

Eric laughed. "And in a way you will. At the moment I happen to be living with a friend of mine."

As they walked to the baggage claim area the five of them were unaware that a pair of eyes were following them. `So Magneto you have found yourself another child. It will be a pleasure to take this one away from you.'
