-1I don't own XME or Teen Titans, sadly. Really, if I did there'd be a new season out for both. Anyway…
"Go…away…" Kurt's eyes widened slightly as he heard this response to knocking on Kitty Pryde's door. Shaking his head, he knocked again. It was breakfast, after all, and Kitty rarely ever missed it.
Kitty acquired a decent-sized eye tick as she heard her friend knock again. "I will hurt the next person that knocks on that door," She threatened. Her foul mood was due largely to the headache she was nursing, courtesy of the metal concert she had attended the previous night. The noise and the head banging were apparently too much for the poor mutant's head, and now she was paying the price.
"Aw, come on Kitty! It's breakfast, and Scott won't get off of my case until you're downstairs!" He whined. It was true; When Scott Summers told someone to do something, he usually made sure it was done. "I'm giving you five minutes. If you're not out here by then…" Kurt let it hang.
"Then what, exactly, are you gonna do about it?" Kitty moaned.
"Well, let's just say there's gonna be some smoke and you'll be sitting at the table wearing whatever it is you are, or aren't perhaps, wearing," Kurt grinned on the other side of the door.
"Bullshit. I'm calling you on it, you wouldn't dare," Kitty smiled slightly. She was sure Nightcrawler would do something like that. He was a joker, but he knew his limits. Five minutes later, she chuckled slightly. No sign of-
"Don't say I didn't varn you!" Kurt said with a bright smile and a wagging finger as he put a hand on Kitty's shoulder.
"Don't you dare-!" BAMF!
Kitty's face was the same shade of red as Jean's hair. She was in her lacy pink lingerie pajamas, now sitting in her usual spot at the breakfast table while Kurt appeared comfortably back into his chair. Apparently, knowing the limits only meant knowing how far to go before Kurt broke them.
Scott gave a cocked eyebrow at Kurt. "Really? I know I told you to bring her down, but…" He looked over at Kitty, saw the look on her face, and turned back to Kurt. "Run. And watch your back for a while," The leader of the X-Men advised his teammate.
"Ten-four," Nightcrawler saluted before swiftly making his way out of the room.
"I'm going up to put some clothes on. After that, you will find me hunting that elf down and beating the ever-loving crap out of him," Kitty calmly informed all present before stalking upstairs to change.
"Well…I believe that was our excitement for breakfast. Now, let's try and eat with some resemblance of-" Beast was cut short by Cerebro's alert. Professor Xavier, always curious when his machine detected a new X-Gene, wheeled into the living room and through the passage that led to Cerebro. "All of you, stay put. We'll be back in a minute," Beast told the other students as he, Logan and Ororo all stood and followed after the Professor.
"Wow. All the way in California this time, huh?" Logan said.
"Yes. Her name is Tara Markov, and she has a very peculiar ability," Charles said thoughtfully. Everyone looked questioningly at him, waiting for an explanation. "It seems that she has the ability to manipulate anything that could be classified as terra firma. Rocks, sand, mud, and things of that nature," He finished as he typed a command into Cerebro.
"Hm. So Avalanche has a sister. Big deal," Logan shrugged.
"No. Though she can generate earthquakes, she is capable of far greater feats. For example, should she give it enough effort she could quite possibly lift this mansion right off of it's foundation," Charles explained.
"Well. That's gonna leave Lance with some insecurity issues. So what's the plan?" Logan asked. The Professor thought for a moment, formulating a plan.
"I want you three, Kurt and Kitty to go to her location. She is currently living with a different group of heroes known as the Teen Titans," Charles told them. Logan quirked an eyebrow.
"The Teen Titans? Who the hell are they?" He asked bluntly. Storm sighed, shaking her head at his ever-eloquent dialect.
"The Teen Titans are a group of six heroes. All but one of them has a special power, but none except Terra have been detected by Cerebro. From that, I would conclude that it is some other genetic trait that gifts them so. Here, let me show you," With that, Charles wheeled away, leading the others to the main study and booting up the laptop sitting on the desk. "Logan, if you would please," He said, gesturing to a nearby projector. Logan nodded and plugged it in, turning the adjacent wall into a big screen.
"These are the Teen Titans: Raven, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire, Robin and of course Terra," He said, the cursor moving over each of them in turn.
"Okay, hold up. Robin? As in Batman and Robin?" Beast asked skeptically. Charles nodded. Beast raised a hand, thought, and shrugged.
Logan grinned. This was gonna be fun.
