An Explanation of The Transcendentals
:This is a collaboration between me and my friend Doyle's Angel. It was the result of being bored and deciding to watch the movie together at a very late hour (we get hyper when we don't sleep). Anyway, we came up with the original idea for this story, which frankly wasn't too appealing, and I don't think she even remembers the original idea, but hey, but apparently it had evolved since then.
At first this might seem a little dumb, but bear with us. It's slow at first but it's definitely picking up and we're getting very inspired very fast. We already have ten chapters of this finished and we've only been working on it for a week. (WOW!) Although I'm only posting two of them now. Doyle's Angel has control mostly of all having to do with Mica, and I have control over Jadyn.
We plan on making this story almost like a series, and I, the Muse, want to incorporate some other elements into the movie verse which have not come into play yet. Such as the appearance of Remy Lebeau (Gambit). That should be around the fifteenth chapter. That's just a guess tho. Also, if all goes accordingly we'll throw in some Sinister, maybe some Sentinel action, mutant registration laws, yadda yadda yadda. You get the picture. Now onto the story.

Girls Interrupted
As the two sisters made their way to the kitchen Jadyn Griffin wondered why she ever agreed to let her sibling come to stay with her. Mica was nineteen and on her way to a fresh new semi-adult post high school lifestyle. Her mother had thought it was a good idea to start her out on her own a little slowly. Meaning she would be sharing Jadyn's apartment for a while.
Jadyn didn't mind so much. Since she had moved off to college she hadn't gotten that much of a chance to see her family and this was a good way to get to spend time with Mica. Although after about a week she remembered why freedom had been so uplifting. She was independent and used to being alone, and suddenly having a roommate, especially one that happened to be related to her, had her reeling a little bit.
She had got used to doing certain things when she lived alone, like spreading all her Advanced Biology homework over the floor and stretching out to work on it. She had learned quickly that would not be an option with her high energy sister living with her.
This morning the two of them were arguing once again about "important matters." The sisters did not fight about such trivial things as the state of the country or what the economy was doing. Just because Wall Street happened to be in the same city didn't mean they had to concern themselves with it. No, they were arguing about who was the cutest and who made the best couples in the X-Men world. This time they were discussing the movie.
"No, Jadyn, Pyro is definitely very hot." The nineteen year old was saying as they came down the hallway, her yellowish green eyes flashing.
Jadyn frowned, "maybe, but he's a jerk. And he joined Magneto! He just left his friends." She didn't like Pyro, never had.
"Magneto's cool." Mica commented defensively, and Jadyn rolled her eyes. Then Mica changed her tactics. "Yeah well, I still think Kurt and Storm are the cutest couple. How adorable they are!" For a second she looked cattish. The door swung open, but they didn't go in. Jadyn paused in the doorway. She was quite out spoken on this subject. And possessive. She made a dissentient noise. "Uh, no they're not. They not even remotely cute together and furthermore, Kurt is mine." She nodded, as if finalizing that statement. Mica scoffed, but they were interrupted by a voice from within the kitchen.
"Um…. You have a girlfriend, Kurt?"
-X-
It was early morning and Bobby Drake cursed his bright idea to get up at this hour. He trudged down the stairs to find a couple of the other Mansion's primary residents. Kurt Wagner, one of the newest teachers there, was sitting at the end of the table, his tail wrapped absently around a cup of probably what was some sort of coffee. He was scanning the newspaper. When Bobby entered he raised his eyes and smiled. "Good morning, Bobby." He greeted.
"Morning, Mr. Wagner." Bobby answered. At least he didn't have to be up alone.
"Hey Bobby," Piotr Rasputin said from slightly besides him.
"Hey."
Voices suddenly sprang from the hallway outside. Argumentative voices. The three exchanged glances.
"Well, I still think Kurt and Storm are the cutest couple. How adorable they are!"
Another voice answered, more than a little defensive. "Uh, no they're not. They not even remotely cute together and furthermore, Kurt is mine." Two girls appeared in the doorway. The taller one had been the speaker. She had black hair that shimmered blue and reached down her back. The second had short blood red hair. They were both in their pajamas.
The two younger men looked at Kurt and Piotr spoke, "Um… you have a girlfriend, Kurt?"
The indigo mutant looked very stunned for a moment before stumbling over a few words. "No, I don't believe I do."
The two girls turned slowly to look at them and paled considerably. Upon seeing Kurt the slightly taller girl began to blush, then spun on her companion. "Mica! What did you do!?"
"What did I do?" Mica cried, "What did you do?"
"No way! I've lived in my apartment alone for three years and not even a hint of strange has happened! You, you're there a week and you stick us in the X-Men universe!"
"I didn't do anything, but watch the movie last night! What are you accusing me for!"
"Um…. Excuse me? What are the two of you talking about?" Kurt inquired. At first he had thought perhaps they were students. He had only been here a few months and hadn't gotten a chance to meet all of them, especially since he was only teaching a couple small classes. But now he believed there was something more to this.
"The movie," the girl named Mica turned her eyes to him, "the second X-Men movie."
"Second?" Bobby said. "There was a first? Was I in it?"
Piotr shook his head and moaned, "Bobby."
"What?" The teenager didn't get it.
"I wonder who they got to play me." Kurt said. He was only joking, but the other girl replied.
"Oh, Alan Cummings. He's was brilliant."
"Wait," he said, "there's another blue person out there?"
"No," she said matter of factually, "there was lots of spray paint involved."
"Oh. Okay." He nodded, "makes sense."
Bobby blinked. "None of this makes sense!"
Mica agreed, "yeah! What's going on!?"
"That's what I'd like to know," said a new voice from behind them. "What's with all this noise!?"
"You don't like noise, Cyclops?" Mica sniggered and the other girl smacked her on the arm.
"How do you know my name?" He looked at them suspiciously.
"Apparently there's a movie." Bobby put in.
-X-
"So, you're telling us that you come from another universe where we," Scott Summers motioned to himself and a few of the other X-Men, "are comic book characters."
"Oh, and there were two cartoons, and a couple movies." Mica added.
Jadyn sighed and slapped her forehead. The two had been in Professor Xavier's office for the past hour trying to explain what had happened. Of course, since neither one had much clue there wasn't too much to say. But somehow Mica had managed to fill in the quiet moments.
"Anyway," Jadyn took over, "yes. We're from another universe, dimension, whatever." She leaned back. She was so tired. All she had wanted was some simple breakfast. Some biscuits, a couple pieces of sausage. Maybe some eggs. Milk sounded good…
"So, are we, like, done?" Mica asked, rolling a sock bogen around in her hands.
Jadyn looked over and rolled her eyes, "oh, my, god, how did you manage to bring that thing with you? You're in your pajamas for crissakes, what were you going to do, break dance in the kitchen?"
"Actually when you were done with breakfast I- -"
"No. Stop right there. I don't wanna know."
"You break dance?" Scott said flatly.
"That's cool!" Bobby exclaimed.
Mica smiled happily.
"Don't encourage her." Jadyn muttered, sliding lower in her chair, her hand going over her face. She looked through her fingers and caught Kurt looking at her inquisitively, and blushed again, turning away. She didn't see him smile.
"Well," Professor Xavier broke in, "I think there's only one thing we can do in a situation like this- - "
"You're not going to kill us are you!" Mica screamed in fake dramatics, "Don't kill us! I'm only nineteen! Jadyn's twenty one, kill her!" She was trying to be funny, but Jadyn didn't find it humorous.
SMACK!
"OW!"
Jadyn leaned forward on her hands, her body shaking uncontrollably. No one could tell if she was laughing, crying, or just angry. Her voice came muffled from behind her hands. "Oh, God, I'm dreaming. Somebody fucking pinch me, because I need to wake up."
Mica reached over and pinched her sister…hard.
"OW! What the fuck was that for?" Jadyn turned on her.
"What?" Mica said innocently, "you said to pinch you."
"Well, they're definitely related." Piotr grinned.
Mica glanced over at him briefly, then looked away quickly. She had thought Pyro was a looker, but she didn't know anyone could have eyes as blue as Piotr's.
Jadyn raised her eyes to the Professor, "I'm sorry about my sister, she has problems."
Xavier smiled, he was amused by all this. "It's all right. And I'm not going to kill you," he said to Mica. "If the two of you would like I am inviting you to stay here until we can figure out what happened to cause you to appear here."
"Thank you, sir." Jadyn replied, "We'd appreciate that."
"Appreciate? Hell, I'm ecstatic!"
"Don't say Hell." Jadyn said.
"You just did."
Jadyn frowned.
