To Sparky Genocide: Hey there, Sparky! Nice to hear from you again! I'm very glad you liked the last chapter! The Brotherhood play some pranks on J.

Chapter 48: Plotting!
The Brotherhood's hotel suite, New York City
"Ahh…" Lance Alvers smiled as he reclined back on the big white couch. The Brotherhood, after helping the Sensational She-Hulk and the Amazing Spider-Man take down the gamma-powered man-monster known as the Abomination, decided to take advantage of the hotel suite Lila got them (with Pietro's credit card that was entrusted to him by his father Magneto) and take some time off. Lance was in a relaxed mood right now. Fred had taken Wanda and Pietro to go get some McDonalds. Paul, Craig, and John were out getting a tour of New York, the She-Hulk personally guiding them. Toad was sitting in a chair quietly. He was typing an e-mail to Althea in Miami.
"This is the life, yo." Todd told the geo-kinetic.
"Oh yeah…" Lance agreed. "But what'll happen if Mags gets the bill?" Todd shrugged.
"Like I care. It's Pietro's neck he's going to wring." Todd chuckled.
"Point." Lance shrugged. He put on a pair of headphones and turned on a CD player he had with him. "I'm back, back in the New York Groove…"
Yo, I knew there was reason why they decided to have Paul sing for the Superstars. Todd mentally snickered. He heard a door slam.
"I…hate…J. Jonah Jameson." Jennifer Walters snarled as she walked into the room. Alongside her were Paul, Craig, and John. In her hand, she was clenching a newspaper. "If I ever see that flat-topped, Hitler-moustached son of a gun ever again, his body is going to be missing his head!" Jenny ranted and raved.
"Who's J. Jonah Jameson?" Lance wondered, removing his headphones.
"He's the editor of the Daily Bugle." Craig grumbled.
"Yeah." John nodded. "He's the guy who goes on about Spider-Man being a menace."
"Spider-Man didn't seem like no menace to me, yo." Todd blinked.
"Look at this headline!" Jenny grumbled, giving the copy of the Daily Bugle she was clenching in her hand to Lance. The brown-mulleted geokinetic read the headline: TEENAGE SUPERHEROES OR WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION? Lance narrowed his eyes at the headline.
"He's a dead man…" Lance growled.
"Easy, Lance." Paul tried to calm Lance down. "You don't want to bring this place down."
"Jennifer…" Todd said to the green-skinned teen girl. "We have a saying in the Brotherhood: Don't get mad…get even." Jenny raised a green eyebrow.
"I'm listening…"
The Daily Bugle offices
A woman sat at the desk in front of Jameson's office, filing her nails. She was dressed in a yellow blouse and a black skirt. She had short brown hair and brown eyes. Her nameplate on her desk read "Betty Brant". She noticed Lance and Todd dressed in janitor's uniforms wheeling a cleaning cart towards Jameson's office.
"Who are you, and what're you doing here?" Betty Brant asked suspiciously. Lance and Todd blinked.
"We're here to clean up the boss's office. He leaves it in such an awful mess." Lance answered coolly. Betty eyed the two for a few seconds.
"Okay." She shrugged, going back to filing her nails. "Make it quick, though. Mr. Jameson comes back at 3."
"Don't worry, ma'am. We'll go so fast, you'll wonder if we were ever here." Todd chuckled. The two boys wheeled the cart into the office and closed the door.
"Time to go to work." Lance smirked as he looked around Jameson's office.
The X-Jet
The X-Jet streaked through the sky, on its way to Cleveland. Storm was flying the jet. With her was Cyclops, Cannonball, and Jean. They were also accompanied by Nightcrawler and Shadowcat.
"Why did we bring Kurt and Kitty again?" Scott asked Jean.
"They wanted to help." Jean replied. "Besides, if anything happens, Kitty can provide a great defense, and Kurt can get us out of trouble quickly."
"Something always seems to happen whenever we go somewhere." Scott groaned. "At least we won't have to worry about the Brotherhood screwing things up for us."
"Like, I wonder where they went, anyway?" Kitty wondered. "We haven't seen them much lately."
"Perhaps the Brotherhood are gallivanting through space." Ororo suggested. "After all, they do have an interstellar teleporter in their ranks now."
"At least she's not being…forward…with me." Sam shuddered.
Now I'm really worried. Scott thought. With Lila Cheney, hey can go anywhere in the world they want to. Which means that they can cause trouble anywhere they want to, and recruit mutants faster than we can. They got too much of an advantage.
J. Jonah Jameson's office
Lance and Todd wheeled their cart out of J. Jonah Jameson's office.
"How was it?" Betty Brant asked the two boys.
"I think Mr. Jameson will be very impressed." Todd smirked.
Bayville Park
"Go away, kid!" Duncan Matthews yelled. He was walking down a path in the park, and he was being followed by a little kid with freckles, glasses, and dressed like Dennis the Menace.
"Why?" The kid asked.
"Because I want to be alone!" Duncan screamed.
"Why?"
"Because you're annoying!" Duncan howled. If he says that one more time, I will kill him.
"Why?" The kid asked sweetly.
"THAT'S IT!" Duncan yelled. He whipped around, and started strangling the kid, cursing him out.
"EEEEEEK!" A female witness screamed. "That bully is strangling that poor kid!"
"What?" Duncan blinked incredulously. "AGH!" A couple cops ran to the scene and started beating down on the jock with their batons. "HEY! OW! HELP ME! MAMA! OW! STOP! HEY! OH THE HUMANITYYYYYYYY!"
Bayville Post Office
Principal Kelly walked into the post office, so he could get his mail. He went over to a wall of small lockers. He used the combination lock built into the door of his little locker to unlock it. He opened his locker and pulled out his mail.
"Bill…bill…bill…huh?" He noticed a yellow envelope that had "OPEN THIS" written on it. "This is odd…" He opened the letter, and… "AAAAAAARGH!" A pack of wild dogs leapt out of the envelope and started mauling the principal. "OW! HEY! HELP! STOP! MOMMY! OW! THAT HURTS! AUGH!"
Well, well, well! Looks like the Brotherhood and the X-Men both have missions! What insanity will happen next? What'll the X-Men find in Cleveland? What did Lance and Todd do to Jameson's office? Can Duncan and Kelly go a day without getting into trouble? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
