Author's Note: Eden is my creation. I own her. If you have any questions about her, ask me. Ok? Ok! Now about the fic, I work third shift and I have a lot of downtime so when I'm bored I write. This is my first fic so it's not going to be very awesome. So bear with me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No one would ever guess it was a fall day. The last burst of the Indian Summer hung on, making it the perfect day to spend outside before the chill of winter set in. The sound of teenagers fighting filled the air, as well as the occasional crash or sound of something breaking followed by a "Oops!" All the activity in the manison drowned out the sound of the approaching motorcycle. The bike stopped at the gate of the large mansion only known as the Xavier Institute. A tall young man got off the bike, his long brown trenchcoat billowing in the wind. He looked over the grounds, detecting the mansion's defense system. He had to get around it without being detected, he didn't want anyone knowing he was here until he was ready. Scanning the grounds he noted there were several motion detectors as well as cameras. Using his extendable staff he vaulted himself over the fence, moving fast, he ducked the first video camera. A quick thought came to him, didn't Eden say the defenses were more powerful at night? He didn't want to risk it. Dodging around another camera, he again used his staff to leap over a motion detector. He stopped and leaned against the large tree in the side yard. He scanned the second story windows, trying to find the one he wanted. The sound of yelling and crashing seemed to be getting louder. They in fact sounded like it was headed straight for him. Thinking fast, he used his staff to get himself into the branches of the large tree.
I have to be careful, he thought to himself, noting the orange, red, and yellow leaves that surrounded him, One false breeze or movement and my cover is blown.
Almost immediately, the front door burst open and a slender girl with long black hair done in two braids led a mob of teenagers outside. He turned his head and watched to procession with amusement. The young man in the tree, Remy LeBeau, or Gambit as he was called by friends and foes alike, recoginized the leader at once as Eden. She led her mob of teenagers to the side yard and they all congregated around the base of the tree in which he was hiding.
"Ya'll forgot this," called a voice from inside the mansion. Remy looked towards the sound of the voice knowing who it was before he even saw her face.
Dere's my Chere, he thought to himself.
Walking out the front door, holding the football, came Rogue, wearing a pair of faded hiphugger jeans, a turtleneck pink sweater and her habitual black gloves. She crossed over the yard to the others unaware she was being watched.Throwing the ball to Eden, she turned to head back into the house, but Eden grabbed her arm and dragged her over to the others.
"Nice sweater Rogue. I didn't know you owned any color other than black, green, navy, or purple." joked Eden.
"Well, this was the only thing in my closet since SOMEONE hid the rest of my clothes..." Roge said to Eden, her green eyes narrowed in annoyance.
"Who? Me? NEVER!" exclaimed Eden with a look of fake insult.
"Riiiiight......"
Eden giggled, and thought back to when she was, in fact, hiding all of Rogue's clothing earlier that morning. She'll never find them, she laughed to herself. She continued to drag Rogue to the others. Once she reached the others, she released Rogue's arm and yelled out to the others,
"Ok, the game is football! NO POWERS! We don't need anyone in the hospital wing this week," she paused for a moment and then continued, "Now we need to line up and decide on captians."
"Aye aye General Burke!" Saluted Sam,"Yall startin to sound like Double O Summers."
Jamie laughed, Roberto high fived Sam, and Bobby and Ray both started to sing the James Bond theme song, ducking around the tree and pretending to shoot eachother.
"I DO NOT!" Eden yelled at Sam and sticking her tounge out at him, "Come on! Let's GO! Line up,"
"Like, would you morons grow up a little? Start acting your age and not your shoe size," Kitty yelled from the back of the group.
It was a mad dash to line up. Bobby pushed his way to the head of the line, knocking over Eden. She tried to blast him, but he ducked and her ray made a small crater about five feet away. "You don't need to cut stupid!" she yelled at him. Almost immediatley there was a loud BAMFING sound and the smell of sulfer, which announced Kurt's arrival.
"Am I late?" he asked, falling into place in front of Kitty. "You don't mind, do you Kitty?" he said smiling at her.
"Hey! Like no cuts!" she yelled at him before she phased through him. She then pushed him backwards into Jamie who hit the ground creating three multiples.
"Hey watch it! I can't control how many multiples I create!"
When Jamie fell, he had knocked into Jublilee. Out of pure instinct, she shot out her sparks, accidentally blinding Ray.
"Jublilee! Watch where you shoot those things!"
"Well, watch were you're going!"
BAMF! Kurt teleported again, this time in front of Bobby. He tried to ice Kurt, but missed and nearly hit Rahne.
"AHHHHHHHH! I didn't mean to hit you, Rahne! I was trying to hit Elf Boy!" Bobby screamed as Rahne chased him in her dog form.
The sounds of Bobby screaming and Rahne barking got dimmer as Bobby and Rahne got further away from the group. After a few seconds, Bobby started heading back to the group with Rahne in hot pursuit, "Rahne! I'm sorry! KURT! You are DEAD MAN!" Bobby finally came to a stop and Rahne pounced on him. When the two of them finally got up, the sleeve on Bobby's shirt was ripped and Rahne had lost one of her ponytails. Getting back up, she said to Bobby, "Next time I won't be so nice." Bobby again tried to ice Kurt, and again Kurt teleported out of the way and instead Bobby hit Ray just as he was about to try and shock Sam.
"AHHHH!" screamed Amara as Ray exploded the ice into a bunch of smaller pieces. She used her heat powers to melt the ice, but the intitial explosion had knocked her off balance and she knocked Roberto into Rogue. Roberto had been getting ready to hit Amara when a bolt of purple lightning hit at his feet, knocking him back a few feet onto the ground. Eden was about five feet in the air, and getting ready to attack again.
"COME ON! This isn't that difficult!" protested Eden, still hovering in the air. "I thought you learned how to line up in Kidnergarten." Amara helped Rogue off the ground while Eden landed. Grumbling to themselves and still handing out death threats to others, the teenagers finally lined up.
"Tabitha isn't here yet," Amara told Eden.
"She'll be here," Eden answered her.
"Wait, there are more girls than guys," stated Jamie.
"Well you could just make a multiple," Bobby said.
"What part of no powers don't you morons understand?" laughed Jubilee.
"I'm not a moron!" yelled Bobby.
"Prove it!" Rahne yelled from behind him, causing him to cringe and duck. Rahne had opened her mouth to comment again, but Eden cut her off.
"All of you! JUST SHUT UP! We need to pick teams!" she yelled.
"Are you plannin' on playin' tackle?" asked Rogue.
"Yeah, probably," Ray answered.
"Then I'm definatley not playin'," Rogue told Eden.
"Rogue...." Eden started to say.
