Chapter 9 - Three heads are better than two.



When Sam walked downstairs the next morning, he saw that most of the mutants were already awake. He saw Kurt, Rogue and Sidney sitting together and talking. He sighed and shook his head, they had no idea that they were kin. He walked over and sat by them.

"Morning Peety", said Sidney smiling.

"Yeah, heloo Pietro", said Rogue with a smrik on her face.

Sam gave a sigh of relief, at least she was keeping his cover. He grabbed some toast and started to eat. A sound coming from the driveway made him look up. It was the sound of a motorcycle. The others didn't seem too surprised by this, so Sam resisted the urge to ask who was coming. Instead, he gave Rogue a questioning look. Rogue noticed and smiled.

"Hey Sid", she said, "sounds like your uncle Sabertooth is commin'".

Sam blinked. Sabertooth?. He was the father of Sidney's suposed killer. This would be....interesting, the whole insitute would fit in perfectly in a Jerry Springer show. He looked up as he heard the door open. The man that steped in was well muscled, hairy and wore torn clothing. His codename suited him well, his large cat teeth certainly resembled those of the extinct animal he was anmed after. It was easy to see the family rembalnce between him and Sidney. Sidney smiled and stood up, walking over to Sabertooth and giving him a hug.

"Hey uncle Vic", she said with a grin, "whatcha doing here?".

Sabertooth chuckled and hugged his niece back.

"Well i heard ya go that place in the singin' championships", he said, "i came ta congradualte ya. Besides i wouldn't miss it fer the world".

"News travels fast on the open road eh?", said Sidney with a laugh.

It was at this point that Logan walked in. Sam sensed immediate tension between him and Sabertooth. They stared at each other for a while before Logan frowned.

"Creed", he said simply, then sat down.

"Hello ta you too runt", said Sabertooth, shaking his head and sitting down.

He noticed Sam staring at him and tilted his head to the side.

"Whats up with you Speedy?", he asked, blinking.

Sam glulped.

"Err... nothing.....Sabertooth", he said with a nervous chuckle.

"Pietro's just tired", said Rogue, jumping in quickly.

"Pietro, tired?", said Saberooth, laughing and shaking his head, "now i've heard it all".



The days passed by quicky and between them, Rogue Sam and Al still couldn't figure out a way to get Sidney to quit the competition. Sidney had been to many different practise runs and the day of the competition drew dangerously close. Sabertooth had stayed around, though it was clear to Sam that Logan didn't like the arrangement. According to Rogue, the two were mortal enemies, she was quite surprised they hadn't tried to kill each other yet. By the time the competion was the next day, the trio had almost given up hope on finding a solution. Sam, Rogue and Al were now sitting in Pietro's room, trying to work something out, to no avail. Sam looked forlornly up at the ceiling.

"A little help would be nice", he said with a sigh, then noticed Al and Rogue staring at him, "what?. It's worked before".

"Lets face it", said Rogue shaking her head, "we got no idea what we're gonna do".

"I still vote we steal her glasses", muttered Al.

Rogue blinked.

"Ya'll breaking up on me Al", she said, "Sam's abilities must be wearin' off".

"Good", said Al, "thats one less person to talk to".

"Ah'll pretend a'h didn't hear that", said Rogue, crossing her arms.

"You don't have to pretend for long", said Al with a smirk, "you WONT be able to hear me soon. Ha!".

"Will you two quit it already", said Sam, butting in before the pair started to scrap again, "i think were going to have to go with Al's idea. Stealing her glasses".

"Stealin' her glasses?", said Rogue, "isn't that....petty?".

"Do you have a better idea?", asked Sam.

"No", replied Rogue, shrugging, "a'h guess we have no choice".

"Al, go check if she's in her room", said Sam.

"Fine", said Al.

In a second he disapeared. Sam and Rogue waited for a few minutes, then Al returned.

"All's clear", he said with a smile, "one cat-girl, fast asleep".

"I'll go", said Sam, "i think i have this super speed thing to grips now. Just in case i get caught".

"Rather you than me", said Rogue with a chuckle, "I know how she gets when she's REALLY mad".

"Thanks for that vote of confidence Rogue", said Sam with a sigh.

He left the room. He snook quietly into Sidney's room. Just as Al had said, she was fast alseep, her glasses lay on her bedside cabinet. Sam took a deep breath and crept through her room. He made it to the dressing table and picked up her glasses, every so often giving a sideways glance towards the cat girl. He got halfway back across the room, when Sidney started to stir in her sleep. Sam gave a yelp of surprise and dashed towards the door. Unfortuantely, he had closed it and went crashing into it. Sidney sat up. And looked at him.

"Speedy?", she said, blinking, "what are you doing in here?".

"I was....errrrrr....", said Sam, "i was just checking if you were okay, that all".

Sidney looked at him in surprise for a while, then shrugged.

"Fair enough", she said, "i'm fine. You can go now".

Sam nodded and quickly left her room, running into Pietro's. As he entered, he noticed Rogue was frowning and Al was smiling.

"We just lost contact", said Al happily, "no more goth girl, no more goth girl!".

Rogue frowned and crossed her arms.

"A'h don't know whats he's saying about me, but a'h know it aint good", she said, pulling a face, "i he wasn't a hologram i'd....".

"Iv'e got the glasses", said Sam proudly, holding them up, then turned to Al, "so Sidney's saved, why havent i leaped?".

Al frowned and tapped a few buttons on his handset.

"Oh man, your not going to belive this", said Al, shaking his head, "you HAVE changed history, Sidney's safe. But Kitty's her understudy, now SHE dies".

Sam groaned.

"I just never get a break do i?", he said forlornly.
