Dedication: To Wheatus: for actually making it on stage.

Author's Note: Exams are now over, and I have more time to devote to updating.  I have been having loads of fun the last couple of days, so that's why I haven't updated.  From my adventures I have two pieces of advice to offer you all; never fall over in a mosh pit, and barbecues get very hot.

Author's Note (part 2): In response to RaeLynn's comments in the review, the reason that the mutant group is a cliché is because it was all they ever seemed to do in the cartoon; fight Magneto or a similar psycho mutant faction.  As for the fact Jubilee wasn't presented this way in the movie, I didn't even realise she was in it until my friend pointed her out the second time I saw it.  My reason for 'enslutting' her as you so delicately put it was that I wanted her to be a willing participant in the encounters with Gambit; I didn't want it to appear he was forcing her.  I know people who, having met a partner previously, are willing to have sex on the first date, I know I had Bobby describe her as 'easy', but that would be the view of most people to a situation where a young woman was an active participant in moving a relationship to sex early on.  I know that a lot of my characterisation is quite heavily based on the cartoon, and that this has no basis anywhere, but I felt it served the story better.  I'm sorry if I have caused any offence through the characterisation, but I hope that you now understand why I did this.  Sorry to prattle, here's the new part.

Chapter 25: Bad Guys Are Very Trusting, And Never Check Out Your Story.

"I'm Ororo Munroe, and this is Logan.  We're known as Storm and Wolverine."  She started.

"Xavier didn't like us being together, so he kept us apart as much as possible, he sent me on missions to find new mutants for his psycho-fuck family…"

"I had to teach the youngsters, but it occurred to me … to us, that all we were teaching them was about the human world, they have a rich and glorious mutant heritage, he doesn't care though.  When he told us about your intended attack, we thought we'd search you out."

"You left … willingly?"  The woman asked, surprised.

"Well…" Storm started.

"Okay, we admit it, he found us doin' the nasty in his office!"  Logan announced.  "I mean, what's so wrong, he told us we couldn't enter each other's rooms?"

There was a long silence.

I think he's overplayed the attitude.  Storm thought.

Suddenly, the woman started to laugh.

"Just like Charles," she said, "he's ever so repressed.  I mean, one time we were at the zoo…"

"MOTHER, impressionable child in the room!"  The tall, muscled boy spoke, in a stern tone that sounded like he was talking to his own child.

"Sorry sweetie."  She replied.  "So, come help us plan."

"Surely will Ma'am."  Logan said.

"Call me Mimesis."

"Very well."

"So…" She said, turning to Storm, "is your man any good in bed?  Charlie was a complete nightmare; he should have paid more attention in biology.  I'm not sure he's heard of the female orgasm!"  She explained matter-of-factly.

"Too much info Mum!"  Said the boy, exasperatedly.  "At this rate the trust fund'll go on shrink's bills."
