Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men.

A/N: Well, the idea popped into my head and wouldn't go away. Hehehe. I couldn't help it. What could be more fun, but not overdone that having the X-Men Evolution characters go to counseling sessions? Please R&R if I should continue!

X-Men Go to Counseling

Prologue: Don't Kill the Messenger…Please?

"Why do I have to tell everyone?" Scott complains, while the professor smiles.

"It's good leadership training. Every leader should be well prepared to relay an unpleasant message because sooner or later it will be necessary." Professor X explains. Scott groans and rakes a hand through his hair.

"Couldn't I just watch the master and learn that way?" he asks. The professor chuckles and telepathically opens the door. Then using his mind he pushes Scott out the door. "Aww, man. Why do I get stuck with all of the really dangerous jobs around here?"

Griping the entire time, Scott calls a meeting in the mansion's living room. Slowly, everyone assembles into the room, unhappy to be having a meeting on a perfectly good, for sleeping in, Saturday morning.

"This had better be important, Scott, or you're going to have some really unhappy people on your hands." Logan growls. Everyone, minus the professor, is sitting or standing somewhere in the room waiting on Scott to tell them what the meeting is about. Scott clears his throat and nervously laughs inaudibly.

"I know you're all unhappy about being up so early and especially on a Saturday morning." Scott begins. All he receives are a few angry glares from non-morning mutants. "Well, the professor asked me to call this meeting because in light of recent and not so recent events that we should all…" Scott pauses and swallows, "go to counseling." He whispers.

"WHAT?" the whole group asks, jaws dropping. Ororo and Jean frown while the others angrily approach Scott with objections.

"It's because o' the way Ah dress, ain't it? I knew y'all were biased! Just cause Ah dress this way doesn't mean Ah'm crazy!" Rogue says defensively.

"Hey, I have to go too! It wasn't my idea, it was the professor's!" Scott counters.

"Why do I have to go, man? It'll throw off my groove!" Kurt asks. Soon Scott is backed into the corner with angry, complaining X-Men surrounding him. He looks around nervously for an exit.

"Don't kill the messenger…" Scott retaliates, causing more glares, "Please?" Scott sinks down as the mob presses closer and laughs nervously. Seconds later, "PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
