Battle Lines

S1, E13: Rogue finds out that Quicksilver is Magneto's son and that the Brotherhood are working directly for him, plotting to attack the X-Men. She races back to the X-Mansion to warn Logan. He doesn't trust her even though Rogue insists it was part of her plan to get to the Brotherhood from the inside. Warning or not the team is caught off guard when the Brotherhood waltz in wreaking havoc. They didn't realize until it was too late was that Magneto's plan was to keep the X-Men busy while he attacked the MRD bases; releasing the most powerful mutants on Earth. Since receiving word that Senator Kelly wasn't keeping up his end of their private deal to hand over allL mutants to him, Magneto has decided to take down the MRD facilities. Kelly uses Magneto's terrifying MRD takeover as a launch for his all-new Sentinel program, knowing that a scared population will endorse his anti-mutant campaign. Magneto in turn uses the release of the mutants to build hatred towards the humans that have been harboring these mutants as weapons. It feels the future war that Xavier forewarned of is close at hand.
