A/N: Hey guys~ I got my papers and stuff finished, so I've got some free time now! I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! Though, I lied about only introducing one character in this one. Instead, I'm introducing 5 characters. I'm also fixing a mistake that some people mentioned in the reviews. Thank you again, for pointing it out and being nice about it! Enough rambling from me, enjoy the chapter!
Of X-Men and Submariners
Wolverine wasn't really sure why the white haired lady kept calling him Logan, but he figured he'd let her. He kind of liked the sound of it. It was better than James. Plus, she fed him so he'd let her call him whatever she wanted.
Currently he was walking beside the white haired lady, who was carrying the dark skinned kid, to the kitchen because the red head that had gone to get food came back with the food. And apparently she had brought two new kids with her. He didn't care about that though, he just wanted food.
As they reached the kitchen, he saw that all of the kids were seated in booster seats. He felt the white haired lady pick him up and set him in one after she had set the dark skinned kid in one.
"There you go, Logan." She said smiling, and then placed a burger and some fries in front of him and the dark skinned kid along with a drink.
"Thanks." Both he and the dark skinned kid said before quickly digging into the food. Logan distantly heard the door bell ring, but ignored it in favor of his food.
"I'll get it!" Storm said, and made her way to the front door.
Jean Grey stood outside the door to the Avenger's mansion holding onto a three-year-old Cyclops, or Scott Summers, who was currently clinging to her. She had the three-year-old Beast, or Hank McCoy beside her, trying to keep hold of a child harness, which he had modified to fit, that was attached to a struggling Angel, or Warren Worthington, to keep him from flying off.
"Warren, please. Do land and stop trying to disappear." Jean said looking at him.
"As you wish, Miss Jean." He said with a bow as he landed.
Jean couldn't help but smile. 'Same old Warren,' She thought. 'always the charmer'.
She looked up as she waited for someone to answer the door. She thought back to everything that had lead to them showing up here.
Jean had woken up in her room inside the apartment she, Hank, Scott, and Warren were sharing while they pursued a new lead on the brotherhood's activity. After she had showered and dressed, she walked out of the room and into the kitchen, surprised to see that no one was there. Normally Hank was the first one of them up. It made her suspicious, so she went to the room the boys were sharing. When she got there, she was so shocked at seeing all three of them laying in various positions around the room.
Scott was curled up on the floor, covered with blankets, Warren was on his back, on the bed, with his wings spread out wide under him, and Hank was curled up in the chair by the bed. Each of them in the body of a three-year-old.
"What… is going on?" She wondered aloud. She hesitantly probed each of their minds to see if she could figure out what happened. Normally she wouldn't do this as it was an invasion of privacy, but she figure the boys would forgive her this one time.
She didn't find much, except that they were all dreaming about various things. And that their minds seemed to match their bodies, except for Hank. His brain patterns seemed relatively normal.
She made her way over to him and gently shook him. "Hey… Hank. Wake up."
"Mmhmm~?" Hank mumbled as he sat up and yawned. "What is it, Jean? Have I overslept?"
"Ah… no. Not exactly. But you might want to look at yourself and the others…" She said as she moved out of his way so that he could see Scott and Warren. Then she held up a mirror, that had been lying on the bed side table, in front of him to let him see himself.
"Oh my stars and garters!"
That had been followed by a quick call to Professor X in which he explained to them that Wolverine had been affected by it as well, and that he, along with Storm, was at the Avengers mansion. She immediately found some clothes from the department store nearby, bought them, then dressed the kids and brought them with her.
They had some trouble with Warren trying to fly off once he discovered how to actually use his wings. That's when she had found a child harness in a store that they passed and had Hank modify it so that it would fit over Warren's wings, which was another struggle on its own, but they managed.
The door opened suddenly and Jean was looking at Storm, or Ororo Munroe. "Ororo! Is it true that Logan is a three-year-old as well?"
"Yes it's true. All the male superheroes who were in New York turned into three-year-olds. I'll explain the rest inside. Come on, we were just having lunch." Storm said, stepping back to allow her and the boys in.
"Why thank you very much, Miss." Warren said, giving Storm a bow and a boyish grin before walking in behind Hank who was shaking his head.
"It's nice to see you again, Ororo." Hank himself said as he walked into the house.
"Nice to see you guys too." She said smiling, then turned to Scott, who just hid his face against Jean's shoulder.
"He's very shy. Though, I'm not really surprised at that." Jean said as she stepped across into the mansion.
She and Storm were to each other and learning their stories that they didn't notice the other presence until it had zoomed past them and into the mansion. The girls both jumped and instant went into defensive positions.
"Greetings, X-Men. It is I, King Namor. I have been following you, Phoenix. Namor wishes to know what has transpired here on the surface. And why is it that Namor cannot seem to locate his beloved Susan Storm?
"Oh. Well…" She quickly explained the situation to everyone.
"I see. Well. Are they making much progress with figuring out how to turn everyone back?" Hank asked. "Maybe I could go down and give them a hand.
"So, that idiot Reed is now a three-year-old? Perfect. Now Namor shall swoop in and woo the fair Susan and make her his queen. Tell me, is she in the lab with that man?" Namor asked, looking at Storm.
" Well, yes but…"
Before she could finish her sentence Namor had already taken off in the direction of the lab. His superb hearing allowed him to hear Sue as she talked in the lab with the others.
" Oh dear. I don't think this is going to end well…" Jean said, watching Namor take off.
Storm just sighed. "I'm sure they can handle it. Let's just get these little guys fed…."
"I'll pass on the food for now. I ate before we left the apartment, and I would really like to see what progress has been made." Hank said as he handed the harness to Jean and headed in the direction Namor had taken.
"Can you get this off me now, please Miss Jean?" Warren said looking up at her with big blue eyes. "I promise to not try and fly off on my own anymore."
Jean couldn't resist those eyes. "Alright. But if you try to fly away, I won't hesitate to control your mind and put this back on you, understand? I don't want you to get hurt." She explained as she bent down and unfastened the harness.
"I understand perfectly. You are a wonderful woman, Miss Jean." He said, taking her hand and pressing a kiss to it, before turning and going to the kitchen.
"Well. Being a three-year-old certainly hasn't changed his personality." Storm said smiling at Jean.
"I suppose not." She said, laughing.
As the women headed into the kitchen, they both missed the frown and glare that Scott was shooting at Warren.
A/N: So~ how'd that turn out? Hopefully it went well. Next part will involve Namor trying to win Sue away from Reed, and possibly some stuff between Scott and Warren over Jean. Though I'm not exactly sure how I'd do that. However! I am open to any and all suggestions. If you have an idea of something the characters can do, or something mischievous to happen, let me know!
As always, Constructive criticism is welcome. And any and all flames will be given to Deadpool and he will paid in chimichangas and tacos to use those flames against you.
Deadpool: Woohoo! Yeah! I get you burn you guys to a crisp if you get out of hand! *does a peace sign* So review and be nice about it!
