Neko: I didn't get to see "The Hex Factor". WAAAA!
Scott: Boo-hoo, Lucy.
Neko: Lucy? 0_0 Oh well, I've decided you're a prick with a stick up his ass and (for all of you who were hoping this would get really Lance/Scott) I've come to the decision that Lance is too good for you. I'm still deciding so there is still hope. Anyway, you're being replaced in the pre story rants (for now) by *drum roll* Freddy!
Scott: Fred?!?!?
Neko: Yep. *Snaps her fingers and Scott disappears* I think Fred deserves a lot more screen and fic time than he gets! Am I the only one he reminds of a teddy bear? Anyway I want any and all information on "The Hex Factor"
Fred: What's with the quotes?
Neko: I'm not sure, anyway, I don't have cable and I have a friend who would record the episodes if we could find the channel! (If anyone knows what Kids WB's channel is in the eastern region of Washington by Spokane, could you tell me?) Now I have to go make dinner.
Fred: What are we having?
Neko: Pizza.
Fred: ^_^ Yummy
"So I was thinking of getting a job myself and so were Fred and Pietro to help…" Cami didn't get to finish her sentence while talking to Lance while ordering a corn dog for Fred. After school the 'three stooges and Fred' had decided to go to the mall and just window shop and try on random clothes and what not. Only reason Fred was getting a corn dog was that since Lance worked there he got a discount on the food.
"No, you three need to keep at your studies. I know you're sixteen and all that but I know your suffering in math and science and getting a job would just hurt you more. Same goes for Fred and Pietro."
"You're taking on too much," she shot back with a frown, "I mean, you definitely need some serious sleep, we're still drowning in money problems, and what about your grades?"
"Cami, I'm not arguing with you, here's your corn dog and don't bring this up again."
"I suppose you'd rather we become bank robbers?" He gave her a that's- not-even-remotely-funny glare and she took the bread wrapped byproduct and left.
"So stubbornness runs in your family, Alvers." The young man looked up to see Scott with Rogue and Kitty. He sounded so harsh. "Why am I not surprised?"
"Scott, can't ya just be nice ta him just through ordering?" Rogue asked rolling her eyes.
"Yeah, I suppose." The X-men's leader made a show of his hate for Lance and Avalanche was mentally slapping himself. That hypocritical bastard!
"What's a matter?" Whirlwind curled up in her brother's lap as he lied on the couch starring at the ceiling. (A/N: don't ya just love my confusing scene switches?)
"Nothing, just thought someone was different when I knew they weren't." The teen rubbed one eye with his left hand and stroked Cami's hair with his right. Their skin tone was identical. It always seemed sort of surreal in a way to have her back and sometimes waking up he felt like she'd be gone and he worried the same things about his 'brothers' as well now that he thought about it.
"Who?"
"I'd rather not say. Why are you so rough with Pietro?" Changing the subject had seemed like a good thing.
"I'm not rough with him, he just needs his ego deflated. Why can't I get a job?" And another subject change.
"Because I said so." He had things to worry about bigger than Summers playing with his mind, he had a sister and three other team mates who needed him and he knew he needed them too but couldn't admit it. Sure he'd shared a hallmark moment with his rival but it had felt like he was just being pressed for information. Life was just too difficult to be worrying about things that should never be.
"Fine, we'll become bank robbers."
"Cami."
"What? We'll copy those guys off that movie, Bandits, and spend the night at the…"
"Cami."
"It's a perfectly good id…"
"Camilla."
"How dare you use my full name."
"You're talking about robbing a bank!" The clock that was old and dusty but still ticking read 9:23 in the corner of the living room when there was a soft but firm knock on the door. "Go get it."
"Do I have…" He pushed her off his lap and she growled going to open the door. "Sparky! Why the hell are you here?"
Lance turned around and looked at the door ready to jump on the new mutant if he tried to make a move to harm his sister or team.
"I… I need a place to stay. The Professor told me that he was going to send me home and…" Ray looked to the side not wanting to finish his sentence.
"Aw… family troubles? Don't worry, it's practically a requirement to live here."
"What?" Lance stood up and scowled looking as intimidating as he possibly could. "You can't even be considering on letting him staying."
"What's going on in… what is he doing here?" Pietro said just appearing practically out of no where.
"X-geek problems," Cami answered.
"We can't…"
"Hey," Ray interrupted, "if you don't want me I understand, I've spent a lot of time not being completely wanted anywhere until I went to the institute and made friends. Then Xavier decides he doesn't want me and I know I've a temper and all of that shit, but I don't want to go home because all my parents do is fight and disappear for weeks at a time and I can't stay at the institute so I thought here would be my best bet. I guess I was wrong." He turned to leave when Fred spoke up from the back.
"You're in," the large mutant walked up to the door and held out his hand, "and if ya are just spying on us for the X-jerks I'll personally kill you, not that there's much to spy on."
"Fine, he can stay," Lance sighed and crossed his arms knowing if he turned a mutant in need away he'd be no better than Mystique and Magneto abandoning them. "You pull your own weight around here, though."
"Wait, so just you and Fred have a…" Pietro shut up as Cami said 'I'm for it' and the vote was three to two even though Todd was outback hunting for flies and other 'tasty morsels'. "FINE! Out vote me, I don't care."
"Oh, stop being so pouty," Cami grabbed Ray's am and dragged him into the living room. "Let me give you the tour, Freddy, take his bags would ya?" She let go of Bezerker's arm and motioned around her. "This is the living room slash my room slash the meeting room slash the recreation room slash the medical wing. Up there," she pointed at the stairs, "is the rooms and vault that no one can get into. That's," she pointed again, "the way to the land of no return, also known as the basement, and over there is the kitchen where we don't often allow Pietro."
"HEY! I'm not that bad of a cook."
"Sure you aren't, and through the kitchen is the backyard, or known more commonly as Toad's buffet."
"I say we let your sister give the tours from now on, Lance," Fred commented in a whisper, "she does it so peppy, like Pryde on crack or something."
"Kitty doesn't do crack, thought that is a scary thought."
"And yeah, that's about it." Cami looked around for something else to say when something from behind attacked Ray and started to beat him with a flimsy stick.
"Ow, hey, ok, that's it frog breath." Ray was about to turn around and beat the crap out of Todd, but of course everyone favored the first member ever of their little group to the newest. Fred pulled Toad away from Berserker as Lance reacted to the potential use of powers by twisting the boy whom seriously needed a haircut's arms behind his back.
"What's he doin' here, yo!"
"He needs a place to stay," Cami replied standing in-between the two incase they broke free, fat chance though. "No need to attack him with a stick."
"He couldn't hurt me anyway, the little," Ray shut up as Lance twisted his arms harder.
"Listen, we could easily kick you out onto the streets." The eldest mutant was serious and tightened his grip. "You asked to stay here and we aren't keeping you here but we will throw you out."
"Sorry, I… I just lost my temper." Ray relaxed when he was released and Lance went to deal with Todd.
"And how is it when we don't need you to you become vicious?" the earth shaker asked Toad. "We didn't really need help either."
"Well that rules out my first excuse," Todd replied not bothering to struggle to get away from the Blob. "I just didn't like a little X-brat being here and wanted to…"
"Todd," Pietro sighed rubbing his temples, "how many times do we have to tell you that no you aren't just the mascot mess up of the team here only for comical relief and you don't have to prove otherwise?"
"Apparently more often, yo."
"Ok, if we let you go will you not attack our guest?"
"Yeah, sure whatever, I just don't want his getting' more authority than me like Cami does!"
"It's not authority," Cami explained rolling her eyes, "it's called being the little sister of the over protective unofficial leader."
"I am not over protective!" Lance scowled as everyone but Ray nodded.
"Yes you are," four voices said in unison.
A/N: Ok, kind of short but…. I'm going to have to take a break from this for a while. Sorry for all you fans (all two of you) but I just feel like it's not that important. Maybe if I get a whole lot of people bothering me I'll be inspired but right now it just ain't happening.
Scott: Boo-hoo, Lucy.
