Evan moaned as he opened his eyes, he had a killer headache. He sat up and took a double take, he was on a street facing the Bayville Mall. Just a second ago it seemed he had been at the mansion. Looking behind him, there was a warehouse.it hadn't been there before. "What?" he said aloud, confusion in his tone. He was brought out of his thoughts by a familiar voice.

"Hey man, you ok?"

Evan looked up to see the face of none other than Pietro Maximoff.his archrival. "Yeah, fine, what do you want Maximoff?" he spat.

Pietro loooked taken aback, "How do you know who I am?"

"Maximoff, you're an idiot!" He hissed, what was Pietro's problem?

Pietro sniffled, "I know.I'm an idiot.a dork-"

Evan watched in disbelief as Peitro- the Pietro Maximoff- started to cry while insulting himself.

Just then, Amara flew over to Pietro, "Those that humble thyselves in the presence of others are surely to lead prosporous lives, love," she cooed as she lay a head on his shoulder.

Pietro's eyes widened and his mouth opened in a silent scream. In the blink of an eyes, he was gone, speeding away towards Gambit who had just exited the mall from the nearby entrance/exit. He dashed behind the taller boy and began cowering, "Girl! Girl! She-she came and GIRL!!!" was all anyone would be able to understand as he started muttering in his fastest speech yet.

Evan looked on amazed, something was seriously wrong here.

Gambit turned around to face his friend, "Don worreh mon ami, Gambit'll take care o' her," he told him reassuringly as he tunred to look at Amara who had walked up to him, pouting. Gambit took a deep breath, shut his eyes and turned his face away from Amara, "Shoo! Shoo! C'mon chere, shoo!" He cried as he made a few rapid shooing motions.

Amara frowned, "Those who come in between lovers will suffer dire consequences!" she huffed as she stomped off.

Gambit's eyes flew open as he whirled around and grabbed Pietro by the shoulders, "Ya didn' say anyting bout dere bein' 'dire consequences!'" he cried nervously as he gave Pietro a few shakes in rage, worry, and desperation.

Pietro ignored the shakes and gave the Cajun a big hug, "Thakn you thank you thank you! You saved me! I LOVE you!" he said gratiously, squeezing harder and repeating his message of thankfulness over and over again.

Evan's jaw dropped, completely shocked. Since when did Amara spout philosophical.stuff? And when did Pietro become afraid of girls? That in itself was actually kind of funny, and he stifled a laugh.

Gambit winced as Pietro continued to squeeze tighter and tighter, "E-ehneh time mon ami," he gasped as he moved to pry Pietro's hands from their death grip on his back.

Spyke decided he'd lend a hand in helping the struggling Cajun and walked up to the two. He peeled Speedy's hands off Gambit's back, "That better man?" he asked wondering if Gambit would recognize him, Pietro sure hadn't.

Gambit's eyes widened and he slowly backed away, his hands in front of him, shielding his face as he tripped over his own feet and feel to the ground. He squeezed his eyes shut again and curled up into the fetal position, "D- don hurt d-da Cajun-n, mons-signour," he stammared.

Evan just laughed, this was hilarious! Something definitely wasn't right, but he didn't mind if his enemies acted like this. I gotta tell the Professor that we can take out the misfits now! Just send Kitty or Jean on Pietro and anyone else on Gambit! He walked over to the cowering Remy, "Why would I want to do that man? Here let me help you up."

Gambit crawled backwards, out of his reach, his eyes wide with fear.

Evan was starting to get annoyed. Why didn't anyone recognize him? "Look man, It's me, Evan Daniels, Spyke, one of the X-men, the guys you tried to kill? Remember?" he asked in a slightly agitated tone as Pietro sped over to his friend, becoming his moral support.

However, at the mention of Evan's name, Gambit opened his eyes, got up and brushed himself off, "Oh," he said simply extending his hand for Evan to shake, "Remy LeBeau, at your service mon ami."

Evan shook Gambit's hand in disbelief. The guy had been crawling on the floor just a minute ago.he shook his head and glanced up to see two people he knew would recognize him, "Scott! Jean! You won't believe what's going on!" he shouted, running up to them. He stopped short when he saw the scowl on Jean's face. Jean never scowled.especially not like that-that was a Logan scowl. Scott looked different as well.he seemed.happier.

Scott waved to Evan and grinned at Jean, "You should really lighten up Jean!" he told her with a good natured slap on the back as he called to Evan, "Hey man! What's your name?"

Evan's jaw dropped for the second time that day. "E-evan Daniels, Evan Daniels! Spyke! Remember?!" he practically shouted at Scott. What was wrong with everyone?

Jean let out a low growl as Scott slapped her on the back, "Spyke? What's with tha name punk?" She watched as Evan used his powers to create spikes all over his body. Jean huffed, "Porcupine fits better kid."

Scott let out a howl of laughter, "that's great! Porcupine! Whoda thought you could come up with something that good!"

Jean looked up at Scott, "You'd be surprised one-eye," she told him, her voice dripping with annoyance.

Evan listened to their conversation as he put the spikes back into his body. Jean was acting a lot like Logan with the nicknames and all. And Scott seemed to be on drugs.or something.

Scott puffed out his chest and walked up towards Evan with an exagerrated 'tough guy' stride. He glared down at Evan and in a deep gutteral voice he growled, "Heya bub, better git outta my way cuz I'm Jean Grey. I'll levitate yer ass!" He lost his gruff look immediately and fell over laughing till tear streamed down his cheek, the joke more for his entertainment than for Evan's or Jean's.

Jean frowned, "If I didn't like ya so much, I'd levitate your ass off a cliff bub," she growled.

Evan gave the two a look, "Ooookay," he looked past them to see Kitty, Rogue, and Kurt coming towards them, "uh.gotta go!" he exclaimed as he took off towards the trio, oblivious to the fact that Kitty was wearing a pair of leather pants, combat boots, and black top with pale makeup and dark lipstick to match and Rogue was dressed in a pretty preppy pair of capris, sandals, tank top and light, glossy makeup.

Kurt glanced up and noticed Evan running towards him. He frowned when the boy stopped in front of him, "Vehs?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Hey Kurt, what's up? Oh wait you probably don't recognize me- nobody else does anyways- I'm Evan Daniels," he said quickly. Just then he noticed Kitty's and Rogue's outfits. He gave them a questioning look.

"You have a problem with me Daniels?" 'Kitty' snarled.

Evan cringed when she said his last name.like she was spitting something nasty out of her mouth.

'Rogue' spoke up, "Like hi, mah name's Marie, Pleasure ta meet yah, Evan!" And like don' mind Shadow, she's just hates everyone, ya know?"

Evan managed a weak smile. Shadow? What kind of a name is that?

Kurt rolled his eyes, being the maturer one of the three, he offered his hand to Evan, "Kurt buht eeh zeemz zhat vou alveadee know zhat." He glanced at Evan shiftily, "Hov deed vou know my nehme?"

"Uh, long story man," Evan said. Why was Kurt so.so.serious?

"Hey Marie, I think you're admirer's returned. Tell him Shadow said hi, will ya?" Shadow told her, a broad smile that shot shivers down everyones.well except maybe Kurt's.spine on her face. Evan turned around to see Gambit coming up to them with Pietro following behind.very far behind.

"Like leave 'em alone Shadow! What did he like do to you?" Marie said as she turned to Gambit, "Like hey there sugah."

Kurt dismissed Shadow's taunt to the boy and turned his attention back to Evan, "Eh've got ah vhile."

"Um, well, you see man, I know ya. We're like best buds ya know?" Evan said the wheels in his head beginning to turn as a thought screamed inside his brain, 'You're in an alternate dimension bozo!'

Kurt crossed his arms over his chest, "Go von," he said, so far unimpressed.

Back with Marie, Gambit stumbled as he walked towards her, but managed not to fall, thanks to a telephone pole which immediately burst into flames. Gambit winced, "whoops," he muttered as he glanced up at Marie, a shy look on his face, "'Ey chere," he managed to get out as he grinned at her goofily.

Shadow leaned on Kurt, putting her head on his shoulder and listened to Evan as he told his story. "Is that it? Kurt, he's obviously been knocked on the head too many times."

Kurt frowned, "eezen't zhat vhat he juzt zed?"

Shadow shrugged, "Well he's not right up there." She picked up her head from his shoulder, "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm hungry.be right back," she told him aas she walked over to Gambit and sniffed his neck. She licked her lips, "nice neck," she commented as she sauntered off.

Gambit gulped, "She scares meh," he mumbled as he watched her go, edging towards Marie.

Kurt also turned to watch her leave, and shook his head, "She'z zhe vone vho eezen't vight up zhere, Ehy zhink zhe need a pszychiatreest. Too mehnee Dreckula moohvies," he said as he tsk tsked in disapproval.

"Kitty hates scary movies," Evan stated. He shook his head as if trying to make things clear his thoughts. "So, um , are you the leader of the X-men, or is Scott?" Evan asked, he was throroughlky confuzed now, Scott was like Kurt and vice versa, same with Rogue and Kitty..although he didn't think Rogue was that far gone. And Pietro? He was just scary.

Marie put on a sympathetic face, "Ah think she likes scares all of us," she commented. She felt the urge to give him a hug, but ignored it, "Um she said ta tell ya hi sugah," she added dutifully. Shadow had told her to tell him, and she had.

Gambit cringed at the mention of Shadow. He was tempted to leave, but only tempted. It wasn't often he had time with Marie without her other admirers. "Why does she like ta torment meh so much?" he asked weakly.

Marie shrugged, "Ah don' know," she didn't know or want to know half the things that Shadow did or why she did them. "Have ya met Evan yet?"

Gambit nodded, "'E seems nice chere," he said shrugging.

Kurt glanced at Evan, confused, "Vhat eez zhis echks-mehn?"

"Uh, nevermind man," Evan sighed, evidently the X-men didn't exist in this dimension. Which probably meant the misfits and the brotherhood didn't either. "So, uh, who rules the mutants?"

"Magneto," Kurt said simply, as though it was common knowledge.
