Whoops! Sorry! There's more insanity and fluff in this chapter too! My mistake! But the next one will have the Brotherhood in it! I promise! I just had to get this out of the way!

These People are Nuts!

"Well let's review how our students are doing shall we?" Xavier said to Logan some time later. "So far they've gotten into 23 different fights with Toad and the Delgato children. Blown up two walls, Hawk's office as well as several other items on the obstacle course. Destroyed three classrooms and took a tank for a joyride. And it's only been a week!"

"Well on the upside their fighting skills have improved," Logan said.

"Of course they've improved!" Xavier snapped. "How can they not improve with all the fights Toad and those insane Delgato kids start?"

"Hey some of those fights our kids have started too," Logan pointed out. "You can't blame the Delgatos for everything!"

"You're right, I don't!" Xavier said. "I blame their lunatic father. Not to mention every Joe on this base for allowing this behavior to go on. Maybe we should go home early. I mean how are they supposed to learn to behave in this type of environment?"

"Just what are you saying Chuck?" Logan asked.

"These people are lunatics!" Xavier shouted.

"They are not lunatics," Logan said.

"Oh really?" Xavier looked at him. "Let's look at the facts shall we? Number one: How many military bases do you know wake up to the song Tutti Frutti instead of Reveille? Number two, for recreation they play golf in a minefield, play football using tanks and basically blow anything up for fun! Number three, the secret disco lounge the ninjas hide in their dojo! Number four, the incident in the laundry room this morning…"

"Now wait a minute!" Logan snapped. "What Jinx and I were doing is nobody's…"

"Not you!" Xavier snapped. "After that!"

"What happened after that?" Logan asked.

"I don't want to talk about it," Xavier muttered. "Let's just say it involved a trampoline, bubble gum and a fire extinguisher."

A penguin ran by. Todd and Multiple were chasing it. "Here Harpo!" They called out happily.

"Exhibit number five…" Xavier pointed out.

"I see another penguin round up is in place," Hank said as he and Ororo came in. Ororo was carrying a bouquet of flowers.

"Hank, Ororo," Xavier said. "Well I see you got another bunch of flowers. Who sent them this time? Shipwreck?"

"If it was him they'd have been stuffed down his throat by now!" Ororo sighed. "I can't believe this! Nearly every single male on this base has asked me out on a date ever since I stepped foot on this base."

"I would have thought you would be flattered," Hank said.

"You try being woken up three or four times a night by serenading lunatics and see how you like it!" Ororo groaned.

"I do have to admit the Joes are fascinating individuals," Hank chuckled. "There are some of them who have extraordinary abilities, even though they are not mutants. One Joe, Airborne I believe has some kind of ESP and Lifeline has a healing ability that is quite phenomenal. Peter's made tremendous progress with his help."

"They also have the ability to create chaos and trouble wherever they go," Xavier groaned.

"Name one instance where the Joes have done that on this base!" Logan said.

"Shipwreck's barbecue," Xavier said.

"Name another," Logan said. "Without him!"

"Okay," Xavier said. "How about the incident in the cafeteria yesterday?"

"BA promised he'd never use that recipe again!"

"I hope not, if he does there won't be a cafeteria left!" Xavier said.

"Come on Charles," Hank said. "I mean we X-Men are hardly the standard of normalcy. You should not be throwing chunks of granite from your glass domicile."

"Hank's got a point there," Logan said. "We ain't exactly the most normal bunch in the world either. Besides you're the one who's always telling the kids they should stick it out when the going gets tough."

"Yes," Xavier sighed. "I do always say that, don't I?"

Not long after that the kids were doing another round of KP duty. "I'll tell you one thing," Bobby groaned after washing his hundredth dish that day. "When we get back to the mansion, I will never complain about doing dishes again that's for sure!"

Scott noticed Althea rummaging around in the back stockroom. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"Trying to find something," Althea told him. "Ah ha! Got it!" She took out a bag of coffee.

"It's coffee," Scott said. "So what?"

"Not just any coffee," Althea smirked. "BA's special blend. The real good stuff."

"What's so special about coffee?" Evan asked.

"Taste some," Althea smiled as she brewed it. "You'll see."

************************************************************************

"Okay so maybe this isn't such a bad idea," Xavier sighed. They were headed for the cafeteria. "I mean it's only a little while longer and the children are learning how to fight better. I mean maybe you are right Logan."

"Professor, Logan! Come quick!" Duke ran up. "The kids got into some dangerous stuff! We need your help!"

"What?" Logan asked. "Did they get into the weapons? The tanks?"

"No! Worse! The coffee!" Duke shouted. "Come on!"

"Well what's so bad about coffee?" Logan asked.

"Does this answer your question?" Duke opened the door to the cafeteria.

Inside was insanity. Althea was making tidal waves all over the room. Todd was hopping all over the place. Scott, Remy, Tabitha, and Ray were having a target practice contest with the plates. Bobby had made an ice slide and was sliding on it with the Triplets. Rahnee, Sam, Roberto and Jubilee were chasing each other around the room. Rogue and Kitty were dancing a storm. They all were drinking coffee as well.

"This is no ordinary coffee," Duke told them. "It's BA's special blend. There's enough caffeine in one cup to keep a herd of elephants awake for a week. And when a mutant drinks it…"

"Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!" Dozens of Jamies ran around wildly.

Kurt teleported all over the place laughing wildly. "This coffee is Wunderbar!" He shouted.

"Kurt get off the ceiling!" Logan snapped. "Yeah we get the picture! We'd better get reinforcements!"

"We tried that," Duke pointed to the ceiling.

"Hank?" Xavier gulped.

" All of my life I have searched for a brew like this one!" Hank sang out as he did flips. "A wilder more robust flavor I couldn't design! Hundreds of flavors explode in my mouth and I don't want to miss one! There's nothing better I proclaim! Nothing better I maintain! The greatest coffee is mine!"

"Did I mention the Beast drank some too?" Duke groaned.

Silverware and trays floated by. "And by the looks of it, so did Jean!" Logan groaned.

"WAHHOOO!" Jean flew around. "Hey! I just realized I can fly! How cool is that?"

"How long are they going to be like this?" Logan asked.

"Until they wear themselves out," Duke cringed as a window exploded.

"And when will that be?" Xavier asked.

"Oh I say, a day or two," Duke said. "Or more. Depending on how much they drank."

All the students and Hank were singing a song about the wonders of coffee. They were definitely not in control of their powers. Bobby covered the floor in ice. "Wheeeeee!" Scott skated by laughing. "This is great! Just like an ice rink!" Everyone laughed and skated around. Falling and bumping into each other. And occasionally blowing up a wall.

"How many days of this do we have left?" Xavier groaned.

"Seven," Logan told him.

"I'm not gonna make it," Xavier moaned.
