Just a note. If you live in the UK. Tune into GMTV 2 Monday to Friday at 7:00 AM and we can see Evolution. Yay! Season two, yay!. I finally heard Rahne and Roberto's voices. Kitty said Rahne's names wrong. Bad Kitty!.
Oooh you made it, here we are part two.
Chapter 22 - The Halloween dance part 2.
At the dance, Pietro was still trying desprately to find someone to dance with.
"Man, this was so much easier when no-one knew i was a mutant", he said to himself, "thanks alot dad!".
"Blaimin' Magneto now?".
Pietro spun around to see Rogue. She was dressed as a Vamiress. Complete with long, black gothic dress and fangs.
"Rogue", he said, "wow...you look...wow".
"A'h know". she said with a smile, "so what's wrong with you?. Where's the trail of girls ya'll usually carry with you to a dance?".
"They don't want to dance with a mutant freak", he said with a sigh.
"Well...", said Rogue with a shrug, "since everyone thinks if they go near me, they'll die, my dance regiume is pretty empty too. So i'll dance with you....only once mind you!".
She walked off towards the dance floor. Pietro did a little victory dance and followed her.
Meanwhile, at the Brotherhood house, Jamie was waiting in the living room. He'd changed into a Swamp monster costume and was waiting for Gina. It wasn't long before she walked downstairs, dressed as a Fairy.
"Cool costume", said Jamie, "i didn't think Pietro would have any girly costumes...or any in our sizes".
"It's his hobby", said Gina with a giggle, "come on lets go".
She ran towards the door, then stumbled. She leaned on the door with one hand, while holding her head in the other.
"Are you okay Gina?", asked Jamie, running over with a worried look on his face.
"Yeah..", said Gina, shaking her head clear, "i think i just moved too fast, thats all. Come on,lets go have some fun huh?".
With that, both youngsters walked out of the house.
"What are her powers Charles?".
Logan looked at Xavier with a frown. It wasn't often that the Professor took such a worried expression while dealing with the emergence of new powers. In fact, he was used to it by now.
"She can....will be able to manipulate flora", he said, putting his hands together.
"In 'Logan speak' Chuck", said Logan, crossing his arms.
"She will be able to control the plant life around her", said Xavier with a sigh, "she will be able to change it's size, shape, health, even it's species".
"Thats alot of power for one young girl", commented Beast, walking in, "sorry, your door was unlocked, i overheard you".
"That's okay Hank", said Xavier, "i was about to call you anyway. We need to summon the team. I know they won't like being dragged away from the dance but it IS an emergency. Gina will need help as soon as her powers manifest, which could be at any moment".
"What about her cousin?", asked Beast, "i'm not sure whether Toad will be happy with us helping a member of his family".
"I'm sure Todd will understand", said Xavier, tapping his forehead, "he loves her, he won't want to see her getting hurt".
"And if Stink boy has a problem with it, i'll dead with it personally", said Logan, popping his claws out.
"I'd rather we don't use violence in this matter Wolverine", said Xavier with a sigh, "remember we will have a very scared little girl on out hands".
Suddenly, Storm ran through the door.
"Professor!", she said, "Jamie's not in the institute".
Logan frowned.
"I'll bet ya all i have that i know where he is", said Logan, "or at least WHO he's with".
Gina and Jamie, completely unaware of the situation they were in, were having a whale of a time. They had already been to several houses and had bag loads of sweets and money.
"What you say we split it fifty fifty?", asked Gina as they walked along one of the quieter streets.
"Yeah, just cause you didn't get more candy than i did", said Jamie with a laugh.
"Your point being?", said Gina, raising an eyebrow, "besides, i got more cash, so it means more cash for you and not much difference in candy.Think yourself lucky that in your culture you don't have to eat something called 'Beans of the dead' for a Halloween tradition".
"What the heck is that?", asked Jmaie, wrinkling his nose, "sounds gross".
"Actually they're really nice", said Gina, "they're little cakes in the shape of beans. Only problem is, Nonna makes a ton of them every year. Though now i have Todd to share the brunt of them with, i'll even pawn some off on you if you like".
"Sounds good to me", said Jamie, smiling happily at her.
"What?", said Gina, raising an eyebrow, "what are you smiling at?".
"Well...", said Jamie, taking a deep breath.
He'd run lines over and over in his head for many nights in a row now. He'd sat up in bed thinking on how he would say this, and when the right time would be. Considering that he ever brought up the courage to say it. Well he knew exactly what he wanted to say, and now seemed to be the best time. It could have been the candy or the fact it was a holiday that made him feel more courageous, but he felt if any time was right, it was now. He cleared his throat.
"Well...i know we haven't been friends for very long", he said, "but..but i was kinda wondering...".
"Well well well, if it's aint a couple of kiddes out of the neighbourhood and past their bedtime".
The pair spun around to see a group of thugs walking towards them.
"Back off lame-brian", said Gina, "were not doing anything wrong".
"Oh but you are girly", said another thug, backing her and Jamie into a dead end alley, "your on our truf now. And we don't like kiddies on our turf. But i'll take that cash from you, maybe it'll pay for your toll".
With that, he snatched Gina's bag of candy and cash from her.
"Hey, that's mine!", she protested.
"Too bad, it's mine now", chuckled the thug.
"You leave her alone", said Jamie, feeling a urge of bravado, stepping in front of Gina, "or else".
"Or else what pipsqueak?", laughed the thug, "you'll tell your mommy on us"?.
He gave Jamie a gentle shove, but it was enough to cause him to make two clones of himself. The gang looked shocked for a minute, then grinned.
"Well well, looks like we got us a mutie freak kiddie", said the leader with an evil grin, grabbing one of the Jamie's by the collar, "i really hate you freaks, you know that?. Maybe if i get rid of this one, there'll be a few less freaks in the world".
As he raised his fist to hit the Jamie, Gina gave a shout of rage.
"Put him down NOW!", she shouted.
Suddenly the vines hanging from the wall of the alley took a life of their own. They started to move like snakes, growing and slashing about. One of them whiped around and grabbed a thug by the ankles, hanging him in the air upside down.
"Arrgggh!", he shouted, frailing wildly, "get me outta this thing!".
The thug holding Jamie looked over at Gina. Her hands were clenched tightly into fists and her eyes had become completely green (AN/ Imagine Storm's eyes, if you will, when she uses her powers, but make them green). He then turned to the strugling Jamie in his grip. To his amazement, 'Jamie' vanished into think air, as did the other one standing in the alleyway, leaving him, once again, with two kids.
"Now ya made me mad", he said, "you kids aren't leaving this alleyway alive".
"That's where your wrong".
Everyone in the alley turned to see both X-men and Brotherhood assembled at the entrance of the alleyway.
"I think you've got a whole lot more mutants to deal with now", said Lance with a smirk, "we outnumber you, i sugest you run now".
He caused a slight tremor to prove his point. That was all it took for the thugs, minus the one in the grip of the vine, to scatter out of the alley. Gina gave a shout of pain and fell to the ground. The vine stopped moving around and dropped the thug, becoming a normal looking plant again. The thug stood up and scampered quickly after his friends. Todd hopped over to his cousin and picked her up.
"Is she okay?", asked a worried Jamie.
"She's unconcious", said Todd, walking over to where everyone else stood.
"We'd better get her to the infirmary", said Scott.
Oh oh, cliffhanger. How evil am i? Whoa ha ha ha ha. Just in case you wondering, that 'Benas of the dead' thing is true. I read it up on Italiansrus (yes that IS a real website). Okay, please review, until next time..
