So we got five 'recruits' and no place to house them?" Jai asked her aunt. "Well isn't this just dandy?"
"Shut it Jai. Besides I already told you, we're going to the old brotherhood house." Mystique snarled; she had vowed she wouldn't make the only member of her family that didn't hate her, hate her. She was seriously regretting making that promise.
"That junk house?" Lorna asked disgustedly "God I knew there was a reason why dad abandoned you and the brotherhood." Mystique gritted her teeth; why again did she have to put up with these teenagers?
"Forget housing for a second!" Raven snarled, "Prove to me that you know the plan!"
"Okay. Well I am going to get an amazingly high average, get a scholarship to MIT. I'll be married to an amazing hot and rich guy by twenty-five be at the top of my career and making tons so I can pay for your retirement home." Jai started in a falsely cheery voice, setting Polaris and Arcade off in fits of laughter.
"You have one chance to prove that you know what you're doing." Mystique snarled. "If you don't want to be serious I'll gladly show you the door."
"We've been over this a hundred times, hag. We know what to do." Lorna snapped, nonchalantly making her pen float in front of her.
Mystique growled, she was still wary of the girl. "Watch it!"
"You bring the tots to the institute, I meet the students at the reunion and viola, and we're in." Arcade snapped, having a feeling that Mystique wouldn't drop the subject until some one gave her even a brief version of the plan.
"Where did the Pterodactyl guy go anyways?" Lorna asked, obviously not paying attention to the conversation at hand.
Jai leaned back, only to legs of her chair touching the floor. "He's with the little lambs; ya know, since 'Mary' is with us."
Mystique stood up from her chair, the light from the signal lamp shone on her face while she smirked, giving it an ominously sinister affect. "Well I think it's about time 'Mary' returned to her lambs."

"So why again did we have to wait for a representative from Xavier's to come and pick us up?" Luke asked a pretty looking girl with dark hair and icy blue eyes.
"The blue girl was evil; I don't think you would want to be evil." She replied with a forced smile.
"Well you were right." Luke replied smiling back at her, not noticing anything.
"Lilly, ja? Vhy do you assume zat ze vomen vas eeviel?" A tall and bulky eighteen year old asked.
"Do you have ABC in Russia? Haven't you seen some of the fights she's had with the X-Men?" Lilly snapped. "I would rather take a bullet WITHOUT my armor than join her."
" She eez really zat eeviel?" Alexei asked through his think Russian accent.
"You're too naive." Conrad glared at Lex from his dark little corner. "Not everyone is a nice person."
"But eet eez beeter to see za light een soomeone rater zen za dark, eez eet not?" Lex asked insulted.
"Excuse me for seeing the darkness." Conrad replied smoothly.
"Sorry but why are you so grouchy all the time?" Luke asked interestedly
.
Lex turned away from the three, looking instead at the tiny girl crouched against the wall.
"Vhat eez your name leetle garl?" He asked her kindly. Taken aback as she whimpered and pushed herself against the wall.
"Do not be afraid off me, I vill not harm you." Lex told the girl concerned; he could count every one of her ribs.
"Maria." The girl responded, still afraid of Lex.
"Eet eez veery nice to meet you Maria, my name eez Alexei Islov." Lex said, crouching down so he could see her better.
Just then the door opened and a tall man with brown hair and a yellow and red visor over his eyes entered.
"We'll be at the mansion by twelve this afternoon." 'Cyclops' said with a smile.

"Who's she?" Nathan asked, eyes following Blaise as she and Paavai stood yelling at each other.
"The angry redhead? Her name's Blaise." Kenneth said uneasily.
"She's on the list!"" Lucy piped up, having heard their conversation from her snow bank.
"The list?" Nathan asked, unsure whether or not he wanted to hear about it. James approached them interestedly.
"Yup! She's up there high too!" Lucy said hopping on the spit energetically.
"What is it?" James asked confused
"The list is something I came up with when four people threatened me in a day because I made them mad." Kenneth informed them swiftly. "It tells you who you should avoid pissing off and who you can."
"Who is on it?" Nathan questioned, still watching Blaise and Paavai screaming at each other. Their fight now included throwing snowballs at each other as hard as possible.
"Oh we all are, to an extent." Lucy shrugged, her eyes had an evil glint in them. "But the top of the list are the people you should avoid the most because they dot forgive easily. Like Wolverine, Long and Blaise. Actually Kain could be added to that...what's with the Canadians? I thought they were supposed to be forgiving-"
"Wait!" James interrupted her little rant. "Why are they on the list? What did they do?" Lucy scowled at James as Kenneth answered.
"Well Logan's been in tons of wars and fights where people have died. Plus he's in control of the danger room sessions and his sessions usually show his feelings toward someone."
"The list?" Asha asked walking over to them. She had improved a lot since her first time meeting them, she no longer seemed depressed when talking to someone.
"Yeah."
Ignoring Asha's sudden appearance Lucy carried on where Kenneth left off. "Long admitted to killing people and threatened to kill 'that idiot' if he annoyed her again, plus you never sees her... And Blaise is like a bomb, you never know when she'll explode but you KNOW it will happen. And she's an arsonist."
"Has Logan's hair regrown since then?" Lucy asked Asha conversationally.
"I think so. But it's not as pointy." Asha said frowning slightly
"And they're all just plain scary." Kenneth said before Lucy and Asha went into an in depth conversation about whether or not a healing factor could assist in regrowing hair and if Logan's hair was naturally that pointy.

"Hey! C'mon Exey! You know it wasn't you! It's me! It wasn't personal, it just happened!" Deadpool exclaimed, backing away from Laura's already bloody claws.
"Please don't make him bleed too much more." Ororo said carelessly. "We don't want that many blood stains in the house."
"So in other words cool it or take it outside kid" Logan growled.
"Why are you two here anyways?" Natasha asked a little disturbed as X23 continued to stab Deadpool.
"Arrg- well I was-Gahh- hired to- Ahh- kill-GRAGGH!" Deadpool said in between screams of pain.
"HYDRA wants him to bring back a kid so they can take over the most influential heads of companies." Laura said shutting Deadpool up by ripping out his tongue.
"WHAT? I can't even kill her? That's a rip-off! But I still get five grand for doing it, so I guess its okay." It appeared that Deadpool had his tongue back. "And the author wanted to add me because a reader showed her itsjustsomerandomguys vi-"
"What the hell is this idiot talking about?" Logan growled
"Excuse me but I really don't appreciate you interrupting me, James. Besides don't you have enough publicity? The new show, the movie where they COMPLETELY ruined me, I mean comes on! They stop-GLAGGGHH!" Laura ripped out his tongue again, this time out of pure annoyance.

"God, I'm going to miss it here!" Jocelyn sighed happily as the entourage of mutants walked through the lobby of the mansion, soaking wet.
Their snow fight fell apart when Nathan decided to show off, Blaise, thinking he was saying that he had more control than her started using her powers too. The two fire controlling mutants than started a somewhat flood that took much effort from Marina and countless clone arguments to keep it away from destroying the mansion. Despite all that, everyone enjoyed their afternoon.
"What do you mean you'll miss it?" Paavai frowned.
Jocelyn's face whitened regretting what she has said. She hadn't told them for a reason, she didn't want them to think that she didn't like them and that was the reason she was leaving.
"You idiot! Obviously it means that she's leaving!" A clone rubbed her forehead in shame of the original.
"I know that, but why? And don't call me an idiot! I'm you!" Paavai snapped.
"Well what you said was pretty idiotic." the clone mumbled before disappearing.
"I- I am wondering the same thing." Yuna whispered. She considered Jocelyn a good friend; Jocelyn reminded her of her sister at times. Yuma really didn't want to see her leave.
"I'm leaving the day after next." Jocelyn didn't meet anyone's gaze, afraid they'd be hurt she hid it from them
Sensitively Jocelyn looked around; not that many faces were mad most were confused and dazed. How was she going to explain that she liked it better in new York, and Bayville was her home?
"You'll come back for the wedding right?" James asked, he didn't really know she but she seemed nice and he would like to see her again.
"What wedding?" Jocelyn asked puzzled
"Uh, Miss Natasha's wedding to someone named Henry or something?" James said hesitantly.
Before much more could happen Jocelyn rushed off, in a fast walk the others following her. Jocelyn threw open the door to the kitchen crying "Why didn't you tell me you were engaged?" Upon seeing the walls, counter and floor painted with blood and two new people Jocelyn blinked a few times and said "Uh, hi?"
