-The Brotherhood Kitchen-
Freddy leaned against the kitchen counter, while Todd sat on said counter. Raven, Regan, Wanda, and St. John sat in the chairs around the table. A brown envelope sat in front of Raven. The back door slammed and Pietro and Lance walked into the room. Pietro leaned against the doorframe while Lance ventured to the sink to wash his hands.
Raven cleared her throat, "How kind of you to join us."
Lance turned off the faucet and grabbed a towel, "No problem."
Raven smiled, obviously having an ace up her non-existent sleeve, "I have wonderful news. With some clever manipulating I have succeed in re-enrolling you at school." This statement was met with six especially shocked gazes.
Todd scratched his head, "So who did you…"
"Finish that sentence and I will sell your legs to a French restaurant," Raven glared at the teen, "I simply have some very compromising photos with certain members of the school board."
Realization hit Wanda, "So those tests you made us take…"
Raven smiled, "Placement exams," she pulled out a sheet of paper from the brown envelope; "And apparently all of you are senior material."
Freddy shook his head, "Why should we go back to school?"
Raven sat back in her chair, "You may be delinquents, but even delinquents need an education."
Lance sighed in defeat as he threw the towel over his shoulder, "What about classes?"
Raven pulled another sheet of paper out from the envelope; she then slid it across the table towards Lance, "Take a look for yourself."
Lance picked up the paper and examined it, "We all have the same classes?" Raven nodded, "This shouldn't be too hard, when do we start?"
-One-week later-
The Brotherhood walked through a field, green grass swaying gently in the wind. Lance was wide-awake leading his brethren to their destination, but as we all know the Brotherhood can be irritating. For instance since they left the boarding house, St. John was consistently flicking his lighter.
"So this is walking?" Pietro looked down at his feet, "I hate it. Why can't I run?" Lance's eye began to twitch.
Todd walked with a slump slightly dragging his feet, "Why'd we have to wake up so early yo? Not like we ever went to first period anyways." Lance started grinding his teeth.
Freddy yawned, "Lance I'm tired, why can't we take the bus?" Lance balled up his fists.
St. John continued to flick his lighter, "Lance oih found a squirrel, can oih burn it?"
Lance released a small tremor, "Shut up, shut up, shut up, and no!"
Wanda shook her head, "You realize we live on the other side of the track-field right?" The boys looked behind them to see the fence they hopped over and Regan getting into the jeep, then they looked around and finally noticed the bleachers and some girls stretching and running a few laps, "You idiots are so oblivious."
They continued walking after collecting odd looks from the track team, "What classes we got yo?"
Lance dug around in his vest pocket, and pulled out the schedule, "First we have English, then Chemistry, third period is Keyboarding, after that is Gym, then lunch, finally we have Automotive Technology, and Mystique set it up so we'd have sixth period off."
Wanda rolled her eyes, "I'm going to be filthy."
-First period, English-
The teacher stood at the head of the class, eyeing each individual as they squirmed in their seats, "I expect you to be in your seats when the bell rings everyday." As he finished his sentence voices could be heard from down the hall.
"Where is this place yo?"
"I don't remember. All these hallways look the same. Here it is," the door swung open and Lance looked into the class and down at the piece of paper in his hands, "Are we in the right place?"
The teacher sighed, "If you're Mr. Alvers, Mr. Allerdyce, Mr. Dukes, Mr. and Mrs. Maximoff, and Mr. Tolensky, then yes, you're in the right place." He studied the teenagers as they walked into the room, "Please sit down." He studied the Maximoff twins especially hard.
Wanda leaned over to her brother, "Why is he staring at us?"
"He said 'Mrs.' and I didn't have a sister while I was in school, so he probably thinks we're married," he whispered back to her.
"Ewe," was all she replied.
-A couple of hours later on the front steps of Bayville High-
Anna Marie Darkholme and Warren Worthington III were walking up the steps, until a voice caught her attention.
She turned around to meet the voice. Kitty ran up to her friend's side, "Anna, did you, like hear the news?"
Anna looked at her friend in confusion, "What news? What are ya talkin' about?" But before the teenager could answer an explosion filled the air and six very familiar voices soon followed.
"Todd!" Lance's voice was followed by a tremor.
"That's got to be a level five biohazard!" Pietro exclaimed after opening the window above the girls and Warren.
A blue hex bolt flew out of said window, "When I get my hands on you, I'm going to hex you all the to China!"
"Oh come on yo, it wasn't my fault!" Todd's panicked voice cried out.
Freddy gasped for air, "It smells like liquid death!"
"Does this mean we get A's?" St. John's optimism boomed from the open window.
Warren smiled, "You're right public school is more entertaining than private school."
Anna rolled her eyes, "Yeah but with them around, don't plan on surviving it."
"Hey Anna let's do lunch!" she looked up to see Pietro's smug smile.
Anna sighed, "It's the first day of school and ya already blew up a classroom."
Pietro nodded, "But we've already proved our thesis."
Anna looked unimpressed, "Which was?"
Pietro smirked, "If you mix all the chemicals together in the sink it will result in a bad idea."
Anna let a small smile slip; "Ah'll meet ya by the picnic tables!"
-Third period, Keyboarding-
The esteemed members of the Brotherhood stood in awe around Freddy as he flawlessly typed away.
Wanda leaned over to her brother, "For a guy with finger's as big as my hand, he sure can type." Pietro could only nod in agreement.
-Forth period, Gym-
The Brotherhood boys sat on the bleachers watching their classmates play basketball. They had gone unnoticed until one of the balls came their way.
The coach looked down at his roll sheet, "Alvers!" Lance looked at him with a peeked eyebrow, "You and your friends have been sitting around all day! Tomorrow you're playing a five on five game against your classmates!"
Wanda made her way to her teammates; "There are twenty people in here. Did you honestly think you'd get away with sitting around?"
Pietro smirked, "In our defense, half the class is comprised of girls, and they're very distracting."
-Lunch-
It was nearing the end of lunch, and Pietro and Anna had talked the entire time. They had a lot to catch up on. But as usual, nothing remains pleasant for a member of the Brotherhood.
"Pietro I have to tell…" She trailed off. Pietro's eyes went wide in shock. She grew concerned, "Pietro are ya okay?" She finally turned around and saw something that shocked and frightened her. Tabby had just passionately kissed Kurt. She immediately turned to face Pietro and grabbed his hand before he could get up.
"Let me go Rogue," She flinched at his use of her codename.
But she quickly regained her composure, "No, in case ya haven't noticed you're about to beat up mah brother." He stared at her, "Just give me until the end of the nahght."
He shook his hand loose and sighed, "Fine."
-Fifth period, Automotive Technology-
As Lance walked into the room he was immediately approached by the teacher, "Alvers, when I saw your name, I thought there was a typo on my roll sheet."
Lance smirked, "Yeah my Boss-lady wanted us to finish off our educations," he turned to face his team, "This is without a doubt the coolest teacher I've ever had. Meet Mr. Garcia."
The teacher smiled, "It was a real shame when they kicked you boys out of school, but looks like you came back with numbers. Well grab a wrench and start tightening some bolts, I'm sure Lance will show you around."
Lance looked around and something magnificent caught his eye, "Hey Garcia is that a 440 big block?"
Mr. Garcia looked at the old engine, "Yeah, I could never get it to work," he smiled as an idea struck him, "Tell you what Alvers, if you and your little buddies can get it working not only will you get an A for the course but I'll let you keep it too."
An evil Brotherhood glint came from Lance's eye, "You got a deal."
