"Welcome to my humble plastic abode." Magneto, Erik, stood and bowed

"The usual formalities, Erik?" She sat down on the other side of the table that had a chess set resting upon it, "Would you like to play a game?"

"The usual bets?" Erik asked one eyebrow raised

"Would there be anything fun without them?"

"Not by much." Erik sat down, "Let's begin."

Dr. Roland moved her pawn up a square but it was soon captured by Erik, practically a chess professional by now. He laughed and soon took another pawn and another and another, "Not doing so well today hmmmm Calypso..."

"Just distracted that's all." She gazed at the board, deep in concentration

"By what... May I ask." Erik looked at her admiringly as she sat, staring the board down, concentrating

"Work. Life. Relationships. Family. Shall I continue..?" She sat up and moved a rook, "Ha!"

"Boo... That's no fair. You got me distracted." Erik joked and moved one of his knights, "What happened relationship wise..?"

"Oh you know the usual moronic jerk that just wants a girl for sex and blow-jobs. Not a PHD or smarts." She slumped in her chair

"Calypso." Erik looked at her sternly

"Sorry, was that too sexist?"

Erik stood and pulled her up onto her feet, "You need to be positive and think that you can find the man or woman that is right for you."

"Erik, I'm not into woman or girls or whatever you want to call them, the same gender." She rolled her eyes

"Hey! I'm trying not to be prejudice or sexist or anything such of the sort." He pulled her closer and started to dance with her, "Now would you like to know how to get a guy...?"

"From you?" Dr. Roland gave him a look, "You'll probably say kill them, attack them, be a monster in bed, and probably........ Act like someone I'm not."

"I would never."

"I know you would. Now let's finish our game."

"We're already done. I have won yet again dear Calypso." Erik spun her and placed her in a chair, "Now my prize!"

Dr. Roland sighed and rolled her eyes, "Okay. When do you want it."

"As soon as possible!"

Dr. Roland laughed and reached into her pocket, pulling out an all plastic badge and a small wad of cash, "5K and your 'special badge' which let's you get into the exclusive clubs and places here in the institution. Also you're allowed out, if you behave, to shop. Nothing like last time. Okay?"

"Okay fine. Good." Erik waved and sat down on a chair next to the chess board, "Another game?"

"Oh I don't think so!" Dr. Roland waved goodbye and left the humble plastic abode of Erik's room.
