He finds another target

The Corruptor quickly made himself at home in Krakoa and he never once regretted his decision.

Simply put, this was paradise to him.

There were so many corruptible souls there and so much power to be grabbed, he was like a kid in a candy store.

It was a dream come true for him.

Of course he'd kept contact with Betsy and he'd made sure to stamp down any attempt she had at shaking off her continued corruption.

At last check, she'd just booked a modeling job and had asked him to come along to give her moral support.

A funny choice of words, all things considered.

He would give her what she wanted, and then he'd claim that particular prize.

Still, he wanted even more.

Betsy had, thus far, been easy to corrupt and it had been fun (especially now that his endgame was in sight), but he wanted a challenge, a hero the whole world looked up to.

Fortunately for him, he soon found exactly what he wanted.

He'd been wondering around, when he saw Storm.

She was standing around and chatting with people who clearly admired her.

Ororo Munroe was considered incorruptible by the general public and that, in The Corruptor's mind, made her the perfect target.

Of course, because she was a such a perfect target, he was gonna have to make this a long term deal.

He wouldn't be able to get this done in just an hour, he was gonna have to be smart about his every move he made.

He walked up to and asked her for a few minutes of her time, which she graciously allowed.

"My name it Tim and I want to tell you how much of an inspiration you are to me and really everyone here, you made being a mutant more acceptable than almost everyone." He said, offering a handshake, which she reciprocated.

"Well, Tim, I'm glad you're here, but I can't accept such high praise, really Professor Xavier was the one who refused to allow us to become villains in the public eye." She responded.

The Corruptor smiled back at her and told her that she gave herself far too little credit, but part of why people (including himself) admired her was her humility.

After a bit of small talk (with the Corruptor sure that he'd at least made sure Ororo would remember him), they parted ways and he found himself looking around for someone else to go after.

He thought of going to Betsy and seeing what she was up to, but he didn't want to push too much so he looked for yet another person he could begin to corrupt.

It was a bit of looking before he ran into yet another person who had made it onto his radar years ago.

Someone he knew he could have a lot of fun with.
