Well, I've found another use for Drafting class. At least now I have
something to do here. Anyway, Stuff of Heroes was awesome! In your face
magneto! Thanks to all that that continue to put up with me. As usual, I
don't own anything you recognize, except for my story, duh.

"I suppose you're wondering what we're gonna do next," Logan said, looking around the room.
The crowd of young, questioning faces nodded.
"Well, it turns out that Xavier's will leaves everything to me, Storm, and Beast in the event of his death. Probably because he didn't think that you all would never rise up. I've found out that he has various programs in bank computers, so we won't have to worry about money problems for, well, forever."
"And what about us? Does this mean that we have to go home now?" Jamie asked.
"No. Things will continue normally. The only thing that is missing is the person that the school is named after. You all can stay here. If you feel that you want to go home, well, we wish you the best of luck."
"Yeah right, what would Scott do if he couldn't visit the Danger Room every day." Jubilee cracked.
The room erupted into some much-needed laughter.
"Seriously though, if anybody feels like you want to go home, nothing's stopping you." Logan continued after the room quieted down.
"What about the party?" Bobby asked.
Logan sighed, "If you all promise not to destroy the mansion, and keep everything clean," he said glancing at the assorted couples, "then I guess there isn't much of a problem."
Some cheers sounded.
"What about us, yo?" Todd asked.
"There IS a truce going on, and the Brotherhood will be our guests tonight," Logan said sternly, looking at Scott.
"AND that means that WE are their guests. You all better be on your best behavior," Mystique warned, looking at Pietro.
"Aye aye, boss lady." The Brotherhood chorused.
"And Call me boss lady again, and there will be severe consequences," she warned, but failing to hide a smile.
"Aye aye, boss madam," the chorused again.
""So c'mon, let's like, go get the party ready you guys." Kitty said
The students cheered as they swept out the door. Kurt and Amanda stayed behind. "Um, Herr Logan."
"You two are free to see each other as much as you like, providing it stays clean and it doesn't interfere with sessions and school." Logan said.
"Thanks Mr. Logan," Amanda said, giving him a quick hug.
"It's just Logan." He said, as they disappeared in a cloud of smoke. He scratched his nose, trying to get rid of the stench of brimstone, "I hope I know what I'm doing."
"So do I." Mystique said.
"Now as for you. Exactly why did you decide to become on of the good guys?" Logan asked.
"Well it's a long story."
"Well, it's gonna be a long night."
"I guess you're right. Got anything to drink around here? I've given up trying to hide it from that bunch. They're practically professional thieves."
"Well Remy IS a professional thief, and I've had to change my hiding spots more than a few times."
"I bet."
"C'mon, we talk, we drink, and hopefully we survive the night."
"Sounds like a plan."
``
Later that night, the party got started. Pizzas were ordered, sleeping bags were placed around the room, and makeshift entertainment and conversations began. Everyone was having a pretty good time. Truth or dare got started up somehow, and before long, many a mutant was embarrassing his or herself in front of the others. Fortunately, everyone had decided to keep everything tasteful, and things stayed clean. Bobby however, probably would have probably preferred that instead of doing a run by snowball attack on Wolverine and Mystique. After that the game pretty much winded down. Everyone now decided to change their sleeping positions to watch the movie.
"But it's always so cold over here!" Amara complained.
"What do you care, you're a walking fireplace," Jamie said.
"That probably just makes her colder because she's not on fire," Tabitha said.
"Yeah!" Amara stuck her tongue out.
"But then it'll be too hot." Kurt said.
"I'll keep it just over here. You two aren't gonna need much heating anyway." Daniel said.
Kurt's tail wrapped around Amanda's waist, "Ja, probably right."
"Nobody hit Jamie or we're gonna have to clear the room of furniture for him." Scott said.
"Aw, but then what fun are we gonna have later?" Ray whined.
Kurt and Amanda had already snuggled up in the corner of the room, so they were just staying out of the conversation. Scott and Jean got the couch, them being the oldest and most responsible. Freddy just sat quietly on the floor, not trying to get in the way. Todd and Rahne were in the middle of the floor. Kellie, Tabitha, and Jubilee were trying to teach Wanda the fun parts of a sleepover. Wanda still didn't seem too willing to talk to anyone besides her brother, but she was slowly being pulled by the unshakable trio's determination. Pietro sat with them, encouraging his twin to have some fun. Lance and Kitty were sitting on the loveseat together, a blanket around them both. Rogue and Remy had decided to go for a moonlight stroll, not wanting to be around all the noise and have some private time for themselves.
Before the movie, snacks had to be made of course. So Jubilee and Jamie went out to make some popcorn and smores. They had insisted that Kitty not help, and everyone agreed, remembering the last few times the valley girl had tried her hand at "trying something new". Daniel was in the middle of the group, since he would essentially be the radiator after the cold front came though.
"So Danny, what's wrong?" Kellie asked.
"Just thinking."
"About what?"
"Nothing."
"Why doesn't that surprise me?" Ray asked.
"Shut up." Daniel said, as he rolled over closed his eyes.
"Hey, don't fall asleep! The movies coming on soon!"
"But I'm tired!" Daniel whined from under his sleeping bag.
"Oh yeah right. You probably wanna go crazy right now."
"So?"
"SO stay awake!"
"You're mean."
"Only when I have to. Now get up. You have to keep everybody warm anyway remember?"
"Yeah Danny. Pleeeease?" asked Amara.
"Mrrrrrrrrgh." He mumbled.
Amara swept the covers off of him and gave him the puppy dog eyes, "Pleeeeeeease?"
Daniel groaned, "That's not fair."
"Too bad!" Kellie laughed, "Don't make me get everyone to do it!"
"Oh fine. What are we watching?" Daniel sat up.
"Yay!"
"Dude yo, you're whipped. They ain't even your girlfriends either." Todd said.
Rahne gave him a smirk, "Tooooddy! Can ye get me a soda?"
Todd groaned, "Ok ok, I see your point. What kind dya want?"
"A Dr. Pepper?"
"Ok."
Daniel laughed at him, "Not so easy is it?"
Todd hopped up to the ceiling and walked upside down to the kitchen, "Oh well. I can think of worse things."
"Aye, like what would have happen if ye didn't get me a soda." Rahne grinned.
"So what are we watching again?" asked Daniel.
"Well, there's Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, and The New Guy." Said Roberto, reading over the titles.
"All comedy night?" asked Scott.
"Awww, Scott wants something romantic to cuddle by, how sweet!" teased Pietro.
"No Mystery Science Theater 3000 commentary okay Pietro?" asked Lance.
"Awww, but it enhances the movie."
"Not when you act out the movie word for word." Complained Todd, who handed a Dr. Pepper to Rahne.
"Thankie Todd." She gave him a peck on the cheek.
A round of Awwww's passed through the room. Todd blushed and just tried to play it off, but Pietro decided that a little pre-movie embarrassment was just the thing to keep conversation interesting.
"So you two. Where did you sneak of to earlier?" he asked.
"Nowhere. Rahne was just showing me around."
"Ooooh. Showing you around huh?"
"Shut up Pietro."
"So Rahne, you know how come you're so desperately in love with Todd doncha?" he asked, a grin on his face.
She sighed, "No Pietro, why don't you tell us."
"I thought you'd never ask." He said.
He zipped up and grabbed hold of Kurt and Todd and brought them into the middle of the room.
"Hey! Get your own elf!" Amanda said.
"Don't worry, it has to do with him too."
"This better not be going where I think it's going," warned Scott.
"Oh! I HOPE this is going where I think it's going," said Jubes, diving for her camera. Rahne and Amanda grinned a little too.
"Now now ladies, let's not get dirty..just yet. Allow me and my ingenious mind to entertain you for a while."
Daniel rolled over, "Ah, some white noise."
Pietro kicked him, "Get up you! This is important."
"Ow! My kidneys!"
"ANYway. If you'll turn your attention to these three strapping young men you see here," he said, gesturing to himself, Kurt, and Todd, "Observe if you will our hands."
Pietro lifted up his palms. They were a smooth olive, with long, nimble looking fingers and an elongated palm. Kurt's two, tridactyl fingers and thumb extended a long ways from his own, flexible wrist. Todd's fingers, which served as flippers would on a Toad, were long and would web if he got wet.
"Notice the unusual sizes of our hands if you would."
"Perfect for a few things I'd wager." Ray said.
Jean covered Jamie's ears, "Ray!"
"Sorry!"
"As I was saying, our distinguished hands are what make us irresistible to women."
"Or in your case, men." Ray said.
A bolt of argent lighting hit him, making his hair stand up more than usual, "Ok ok, I'll shut up."
Pietro nodded his thanks to Daniel, "As I was saying."
"So what's the big deal about hands?" asked Kellie.
"They help when we need a massage?" asked Amara.
"Nope." Pietro replied, grinning as the suspense kept building.
"Foot rub?" offered Sam.
"No."
"For when you're out of condoms and you don't wanna get a girl preg.."
"RAY!" Jean said, diving for Jamie's ears as soon as he started speaking.
"What? It's better than using your ton.."
Two blades of light stabbed into existence.
"Shutting up."
"They.uh... I give up," said Jean.
"Aye, me too," said Rahne.
"C'mon Pietro just tell us." Said Jubilee.
"Well, if you must know.."
"JUST TELL US!" The girls said.
"Ok ok, no need to get violent!" he turned to Kurt, "I tell ya, these women get so testy when they think we're ignoring them."
"PIETRO!"
"Sorry! Well, it turns out that hands indicate the uh.approximate proportion of other such extremities of the body." Pietro said.
"What like feet?" Jamie asked, shaking off Jean's hands long enough to hear.
Jean covered his ears, already knowing what Pietro meant because of a mind scan. "Um,,, not really feet Jamie."
The group sat for a moment thinking, then Pietro cleared his throat and look down, as if he were examining his shoes..or his.."
Wanda got it first, "Oh."
Then Lance, "Ugh!! Pietro!"
Then the rest followed by assorted laughter, ewwww's and blushes. The last of these being from the girls as they accidentally looked at the nearest guy's hands. Kurt and Todd just groaned and tried cover their hands. But Pietro decided to use hand signals to tell them to go back.
"Are you quite done with grossing us out?" asked Amara.
Pietro nodded, "Yep! Now on with the movie."
Jubilee sat in thought. Kellie looked over and saw the look on her face. "Oh no! What are you thinking about now Jubes?"
"Do you really want to know?" asked Daniel
Jubilee just started laughing.
"Oh God! I really don't wanna know now." Daniel groaned.
"Weeeeell! Ever notice how Mr. McCoy's hands are really really."
"STOP!" Said everyone.
"We really gotta stop her from thinking." Said Rogue. She and Remy had been standing in the back long enough. They were already in their pj's and everyone moved to give them some room.
"Easy enough, just give her some gum. She can't chew and think at the same time," Daniel said, catching a sparkler that was shot at him in his mouth, "Mmmmm, Shock Tarts!"
Jubilee growled and threw a pillow at him. He dodged, and it hit Amara. She picked up both pillows and got into a fighting stance. Jubilee picked up her own pillow, also bringing up her blanket. They both started doing Bruce Lee noises as they circled, giggling.
"Crouching Mattress, Hidden Blanket." Commented Daniel.
"Movies starting!" Said Scott, before it could go farther.
Everyone settled back down, the girls unable to resist grabbing their boyfriend's or looking at the single boys' hands once more. A round of giggles, and every guy besides Pietro kept his hands out of the open.
"And they say we're perverted." Said Ray.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" they all said, as the the opening ship scene from Spaceballs began to play.
``
Ah, Drafting. The class of the lazy man. Or the smart man. We only have one assignment a week. I'm already done for the semester! I guess I'll try to get them though the weekend. There will be a good action spot coming up soon. Will the MRA pass? What about Magneto and Sinister? What surprises are in store for our heroes, next time on United We Stand. Sorry, couldn't help the Dragonball ending. Reviews are always appreciated. Until next time.
