A/N: yay! Ppl like me, they actually like me! ::looks all starstruck:: -_-;; um…just read.
Raven or Mystique seemed like a genuinely nice person, but there was something about her that he didn't seem to trust about her and it wasn't her blue skin. It was odd. Maybe Remy was just being paranoid, he should be grateful. The place wasn't like the manor he used to live in, but it was some pretty fancy digs. (hey, I think they've got to have some what of a big income since they Pietro has a cell phone in and anyone has to be rich to afford to feed the blob. ^_^) He had a room all to himself since he was the newbie. Remy began to unpack and reflected on events that had just occurred.
Mystique had let him in and introduced him the rest of the brotherhood. Lance was aka Avalache; the supposed leader/traitor of the group, Pietro was aka Quicksilver, Todd was aka Toad and Fred was aka the Blob. Remy already knew he wasn't going to fit in. Sure they were mutants like him, but Remy never worked well with others. He was planning on staying just long enough to finish whatever Mystique wanted him to do, get the money and leave. With that the plan in mind, he stopped unpacking and only took out the essentials. Now all he had to do was get his school schedule from Darkholme and prepare from school. How exciting, Remy thought sarcastically, I haven't been t' school in so long. Hope they don't expect me to do my homework.
Remy stared at the digital clock. It read 11:00 pm. He had to wake up extra early tomorrow so Mystique could explain about some group called the x-men or something like that. Feeling tired from his long journey, Remy laid the rest of his belongings on the floor and went to sleep. However from afar, Lance, Pietro, Todd and Fred were peaking into his room at their new team member.
"So, check out the new kid. He's got some seriously freaky eyes, man," said Todd.
"His eyes aren't so bad, since Mystique gave him those contacts." Lance commented.
"But what's with the whole talking in third person thing goin' on?" Pietro asked.
"I don't think he likes us," Fred added in.
"Wow, Fred. Thinking. That has to be a new experience for you *sorry couldn't help myself*," Pietro said. Before Fred could even react Lance said, "Why don't we greet our new roomie brotherhood style?" Everyone agreed and began to plan out what they were going to the newcomer.
Later that night Fred, Pietro, Todd and Lance met outside of Remy's room. They had decided to just take all of his stuff, take whatever was valuable and after some long arguments, Todd could keep the dang thing. *Yes, I know it's not the most elaborate prank in the whole world, but hey you're dealing with the brotherhood…hehehe…sorry*
Seeing that Remy was asleep, Lance slowly opened the door. Toad grabbed the bag with his tongue and slowly pulled it out the door. Fred opened it to see what there was, but there was nothing.
"Uh, guys-" Fred said.
"Shhhh!" Lance, Pietro and Toad shushed in unison. Pietro checked back in Remy's room and sighed when he saw he was still asleep.
"Opps," Fred whispered, "Guys, there's nothing in here."
"What?!" whispered Lance, "Gimme that." He grabbed the bag opened it.
"Wait, Look," Todd pointed out, "There's a card. Looks like one of those playing cards."
"I can see that doofus," said Lance. He picked it up and everyone was it was a Joker card. "Why would he have only a Joker card-" Lance was cut off when the card started to glow.
"Whoa, it's glowing." Fred stated.
"What the he-" Before Toad could finish the card blew up and sent the mutants flying back. Laughter erupted from Remy's room and the teens recovered from the blast.
Little did they know, a lot of experience taught Remy to be a very light sleeper. He over heard the conversation and made their plan back fire. His mutant power was charging an object's potential energy into kinetic energy, thus letting the object blow up. Remy didn't make the explosion big enough to kill the mutants; just enough to blow them back a few feet. He had charged the card; put it in a spare bag he had found lying around and hid the rest of his stuff.
"What the hell was that?!" Todd exclaimed.
Lance cursed Remy as he got up. "That son of a-"
"Well at least we know what his power is," said Fred, who was least affected by the blast.
"Just shut up." Pietro commanded.
"What's going on here?" Mystique demanded.
"Uh oh, Mystique; run!" Toad urged as he hopped away. Everyone rushed to his rooms and Remy stopped laughing before Mystique could catch any culprits. All that was left of the scene was a seriously torn up bag and rubble everywhere within a three-foot radius. Mystique just sighed and decided to take care of it in the morning.
Remy made a mental note before going back to sleep. Remy 1; Brotherhood 0.
