Chapter 5: Oh, Brother Were Art Thou

A/N: Well I'm on the road with my insane friends again. Well, we're all a little insane really. But I digress. Being trapped in a van almost4-7 really gets the creative juices flowing. And with my trusty laptop and cell phone, I can keep the chapters coming. I've come to the decision this fic will be like my others, Really Silly. But I'm going to keep a very serious tone to it, so keep your shirts on. (That goes for the guys only) Enjoy some more brotherhood zaniness.

Summary: If you don't know by now, then you're more Fucked up than you think. Get help.

Dedication: To my loyal fans and all who were kind enough to review. This one's for you guy's. Or gals. Whatever you are, how the hell should I now?

"Todd!!!" Michael Nagrite screamed in fury, "How many times have I told you to keep out of my candy stash."

"I can't help myself man. It's like Shelly said, "The best of men still have hidden desires." There's no way I can avoid the crunchy goodness of a Mr.Goodbar." Todd said as he jumped away from the tendrical Omega had unleashed from his arm.

"Do you know how much those things cost on the black market, Slime-Ball!?" Mike shouted in rage as he snaked his other tendrical out and caught the jumping Todd.

"Hey leggo..."

"I don't think so. You're staying in my sight until I get a chance to hide these things again." Mike said as he walked into the den were the rest of the Brotherhood was resting in front of an old fashioned Fireplace. The mansion they called home once belonged to John's father. The entire continent was relatively unscathed from Apocalypses forces. Apparently the big A was more worried about Eurasia and the many human settlement's that were there, than some dinky continent were humans and mutants tended to live in peace. The Mansion was half collapsed but still in working condition.

"You owe me twenty bucks Pyro." Gambit replied from were he was playing Solitaire. "Mike found the Slime-Ball within 4 hours."

"Damn... I have got to stop making these bets." John St. Allerdyce replied, as he handed the crumpled paper to his comrade. "So Tab's, where were we?" He said as he turned his attention back to his conversation with Tabitha "Meltdown" Smith.

"Mike, Put Todd down." Lance said from his spot on the couch. His wife Katherine was curled up next to him, using his chest for a pillow as she continued reading a book.

"Easy for you to say. He didn't raid your expensive stash of candy." Mike replied slightly annoyed.

"No, but he did walk in on me and Lance...uh, consummating the marriage." Kitty said without looking up from her book.

"Hey, I did it once." Todd protested from his position in the tendricals of his teammate. "And it was by accident. You were screaming so loud I thought Holocaust was here." At his remark Kitty looked up at him, then turned to Lance and grinned at him. He returned the smile as his eyebrows went up at the memory.

"Remy think he gonna be sick..." Gambit replied from his corner.

"You and me both, Gumbo." Tabitha said as she stretched her arms out.

"Yes, while this is all as enlightening as a poem by Keet, I'M STILL STUCK IN THE GOD DAMN TENDRICAL!" Todd shouted.

"Calm down, little buddy." Mike said as he released him. Todd gave one of his signature screams as he fell ten feet to the floor. He landed with a dry thud as Mike went off to re-hide his candy stash.

"...sigh... Children." Lance said as he shook his head and ran his fingers through Kitty's hair.

"...hmmm..." Kitty purred. "That feels good..."

"I'm getting out of here before this place gets all lovey-dovey." Remy said as he left the room with John and Tabitha following him.

"Man, he really doesn't like being around love, does he?" Lance asked as he brushed a few stray hairs away from his eye.

"Ever since Rogue, NO." Kitty replied as she shifted positions so she sat on his chest. "And you should know that. After all what kind of Leader are you."

"I dunno, tell me." Lance said as he kissed her.

"The best." She answered, kissing him back. Suddenly a loud explosion rocked the mansion. "The hell..." Kitty said as she jumped off Lance and ran outside with him in tow. When they got there, the others were already there. Pyro pulled out his Zippo and lit it. Then he focused and the flame responded to his will, forming a giant claw. Todd already had the source of the explosion tied up in his tongue. The figure struggled until Lance approached her.

"Who the hell are you." Lance demanded, as a large earthen figure emerged, responding to the seismic pulses that Lance was emitting.

"I am shocked, Alvers. Surely you remember your old friend," The figure said as she pulled back her hood, revealing her blue skin. "Mystique."
