Hall Zombies
While Kelly was chasing the Brotherhood out of his office, some of the other mutants in school were dealing with problems of their own. Bobby and Amara were walking to class when a bunch of jocks headed their way.
"Move it shrimps!" One said, elbowing Bobby into the wall. Another just shoved Jubilee.
"Hey!" Jubilee snapped as they walked away.
"Watch this," Bobby snickered as he created a patch of ice. Soon all the jocks landed on their butts. One slid into the wall.
"Hey!" One jock snapped as he saw the two laughing. "How did you do that?"
"Do what?" Bobby played innocent.
"Don't lie to us you little goon!" Another got up and grabbed him. "You did that somehow didn't you!"
"Let him go!" Without thinking Amara's hands began to glow. She tried to pull Bobby away. The second she touched the jock's arm he let go with a painful yelp. "Leave us alone! I mean it!"
"What did you do to me?" The Jock snarled.
"They're some kind of freaks!" Another shouted. "Let's get them!"
"You'll do nothing!" Jean came around the corner. Suddenly the jocks stood still, hypnotized. "You saw nothing," Jean used her power on the jocks, changing their memories. "You saw nothing. Everything is fine."
"Everything is fine," The Jocks said tonelessly. "We saw nothing." They staggered away.
"Thanks Jean," Amara said. "That was close."
"What happened?" Jean asked.
"They were hassling us for no reason!" Bobby said. "We were just defending ourselves!"
"So I see," Jean looked at the puddle where the ice was. "We'll talk about this later. Get to class you two and try to keep out of trouble. Okay?"
Meanwhile Kelly was wandering the halls. Then he saw the Jocks wandering. "What's going on here?"
"We saw nothing," They droned as one. "Everything is fine. Everything is fine." They walked past him as if he wasn't there.
"Terrific," Kelly groaned. "Now the students are cracking up as well as the teachers!"
