CHAPTER 2
Evan stood there appalled. "Magneto?" he said his eyes at their biggest. "Magneto!?!" he repeated shaking his head again in disbelief.
Kurt eyed him oddly, "Ves, Magneeto, Vho else?"
"Well uh...are there any normal people around still?" Evan questioned...probably not, he thought.
Kurt nodded, "Ohf Course, zhat eez vhat he eez all about."
"Keeping normal people alive? What happened to kill the humans?" Evan burst out temporarily forgetting he was in an alternate dimension.
Kurt frowned, "Kill zhem? Vhat? Vhy vould he vahnt too do zhat?"
"Cause he hates humans. Duh." Evan replied cooly. He then remembered that everything was different here. "But if he doesn't do that, then what does he do man?"
Kurt frowned, "He eez zhe guardian of zhem, vhe make sure nozhing harms zhem."
******
"Oh he's nice all righ'. Seems a lil like confused ya know wha ah mean?" Marie said nodding towards Evan who was talking to Kurt.
Gambit nodded, "'E tink dat 'e knew Gambit," he muttered as he leaned against a pole which burst into flame when his hand touched it. He leapt up and jumped away, "Pardon e'moi, chere," he mumbled.
"Yeah I git that feelin too! It was like sa totally weird ya know?" Marie said nodding in agreement. She ignored the flaming pole, it was normal for Gambit to start blowing things up...or at least it was whenever she was nearby.
"Ya, chere, what d'ya tink dat means?"
"Ah don know. Why don we like ask 'em?"
Gambit shrugged, "I don' know, 'e looks pretteh buseh..." he said trailing off.
Marie just smiled, looking extremely perky. "Ah'm like sure he wouldn mind if he got a few more listeners."
Gambit nodded, "Ok chere."
******
At that moment Shadow came back holding a can of tomato juice. "He's a loony. Really. He's all Save the humans! In the words of Marie...Big Whoop. I could care less." She said in a bored voice.
Kurt frowned, "Vell not everyvone vants to hang out in cemetaries, zome ohf us have more important zhings to do."
"Oh yes, I forgot...listening to an old man's rants is very important." She said meeting his frown with her own.
Evan watched as the two started to fight, Magneto was starting to sound like Xavier...
"At leezt I don' zhink I'm a vahmpyre!"
"We prefer the term Lost Souls." Shadow said cooly not missing a beat.
"More like lohst mindz," Kurt grumbled as he rolled his eyes at her
Shadow shut up there, Kurt had won...for now.
******
"Like cool!" Marie said and walked over to where Kurt and Shadow were finishing their argument. She laughed, it was all very funny actually. She turned to Evan "Is she scaring ya?"
"She said I wasn't right in the mind." Evan muttered, he then noticed Marie and Gambit had joined them. "No more than Rogue does." he said causally.
Kurt didn't show the satisfaction of winning, although he felt it. He turned just in time to see two approaching figures, "Storm! Logan!" he called out to them, waving.
Evan turned around ready to great his Aunt. "Auntie O! Wazzup?" he said grinning from ear to ear. Logan and Storm hadn't seemed to change a bit, they were even wearing their costumes!
Storm grimaced as he stepped into the light, "Auntie O? Man, what's this Auntie O crap yo?"
Logan walked up to Evan, "Hello! What's your name?" Logan purred.
Evan looked taken back...the voice that had come out of Storms mouth was her voice, but it was different...more manly...."OMG. OMG! OMG!" Evan said under his breath quickly.
"What's wrong man, did I scare ya brotha?" Storm said looking a little concerned
Evan stopped, he was beginning to sound like the Pietro here when near a girl. "No, uh don't worry about it...I'm Evan Daniels." he directed the last part to Logan.
Storm frowned, but brightened, "This here is Logan, and I'm Orus Munroe. Nice ta meet ya Ev,"
"What a pleasure to meet you. I love your name is purrfect." Logan said. "But we have code names too...He's Storm and I'm-"
"Wolverine, I know."
"Wolverine? No I'm Tiger!" Logan flicked her wrist and extended her claws. She then nuzzled up to Orus "Meeeoooooowww!"
Orus grinned, "Man...it's a little hot in here.."
Shadow sighed, this was pathetic AND gross.
Evan looked at Tiger in amazement.... That was incredibly wrong...
"So um like how are y'all?" Marie said to Logan and Orus trying to break the silence
Orus grinned broadly, "Five by five yo."
"Purrfect." Logan said eyeing Orus like he was canned tuna.
Orus scratched Logan behind the ears, "There's my kitten," he cooed back.
Gambit watched them bewildered, "Dey certainleh ain' shy bout it.."
Logan started to purr rather loudly as Orus scratched him
"Oh yeah." Evan said agreeing.
******
Pietro meanwhile was far FAR away from everyone..keeping an eye on his best bud.He wasn't going anywhere NEAR those people...too many girls...too many! Pietro started to get sweaty Don't think about them...don't think about girls.... Nope don't think about them...don't even say dont' think about them cause that's thinking about them...no siree.
Gambit noticed his friend rather far away, he motioned for Pietro to join them, "Don worreh, Gambit'll protect you," he called out to him.
Pietro gulped and walked over shaking...He got as far away from the girls as possible...behind Gambit who thankfully had moved a little farther away from Marie. "So-uh-whats-up?" Pietro said nervously eyeing the girls like they were demons about ready to eat him
Shadow grinned evilly showing pointed Vampire-like teeth. "Hello there Quickie. How are you?" She said smoothly as she walked over to him. Oh this was going to be Ifun/I!
Gambit frowned, "Leave 'em alone petit."
"Oh and I suppose you're going to do something about it?" Shadow said cooly and ran her hand down Pietro's cheek. Pietro was now shaking uncontrolably. She burst out laughing, it was cold like you would expect a real vampire's laugh to be like. "Don't worry I'm done." And with that she walked back over to her wall near Kurt smiling.
Pietro was indeed shaking uncontrollably...He ran behind Gambit..."she, she...girl, girl! And she girl!" He said quickly started to go back to muttering stuff too fast for anybody to understand.
Kurt frowned, "Zhat's enough Zhadow." he turned his attention to Pietro, "Come on, zhe von't bother vou."
Pietro just shook his head and stayed behind Gambit. Gambit turned to Pietro, then back to Kurt, "I tink dat's as far as 'es goin'"
Kurt shrugged, "Oh vell"
Evan smiled, he was starting to like Shadow...he would really like her if she would keep up the torturing of Maximoff.
"I was just having a little fun anyway Kurt. No harms really done now is it Pietro?" Shadow said shooting a very evil looking smile at Pietro.
Pietro began shaking again..."na na nooo." he said his voice quivering. He shot an accusing glare at Gambit that lasted for only half a second when he started his 'girl girl!' thing again.
Kurt's frown deepened, "Don't mehke me take out zhe garlic."
Shadow hissed and got closer to the wall.
"Mrow!!" Logan hissed again extending his hand and claws.
Orus nodded in agreement with Logan, "you got that right my purrfect feline"
Tiger again nuzzled up to Orus, evidently she liked the compliment.
Kurt's face turned back to business, "Vhe've got twenty minutes till ve hehve to be at Magneeto's."
Evan let his smile drop, evidently there would be no more Pietro torturing as long as Gambit and Kurt were there. "Do you mind if I tag along guys?" Evan asked
Kurt shook his head, "Magnus eez alvayz looking for new recruits."
"Well I dont' know about becoming a new recruit man, but definetly want to show up at one of the meetings...gotta see what its all about."
Kurt shrugged, "Ohf course."
"So is everybody here part of his...team?" Evan said beginning to press Kurt for information... He would definitely have to tell the Professor everything about this dimension when...if he got back.
Kurt nodded, "Everyvone vight here," he said as he gestured to the others.
"Oh. And what do you guys do exactly?" Evan said continuing his information push
"Alot ohf times vhe talk, zometimes vhe help vith zhe Habitat for Humanity."
"What the---I mean whats that?"
"Vhe build homes fohr zhe homeless."
"Oh," Evan said, building homes definetly wasn't a Magneto thing to do. "And Shadow helps?" he said arching an eyebrow at Shadow who seemed extremely bored.
Shadow met Evan's gaze. "Sometimes. You have a problem with that?"
Kurt gave Shadow a wry grin, "Zhe hurts more zhan zhe helps."
Shadow let out a low growl. "Well as I recall I didn't want to be one of the old mans little monkeys to begin with"
"Zhen vhy do vou come?" he quipped. "You asked me to. I admit, I have a weakness for blue fur and fanged teeth...and tails." She said her smile growing bigger. She knew Kurt hated references to how he really looked.
Kurt frowned, "Eh don't zhink you realize how restricting zhat eez to vone vho can't chenge eet." His only reply was Shadow shrugging. Kurt turned to the others, "Let's go."
Evan looked excited as he said "Ok!" and followed after Kurt. The others did the same.
Evan stood there appalled. "Magneto?" he said his eyes at their biggest. "Magneto!?!" he repeated shaking his head again in disbelief.
Kurt eyed him oddly, "Ves, Magneeto, Vho else?"
