Disclaimer: Well since A) I still go to school and B) don't live anywhere
near the place where they make X-Men Evo it's pretty obvious I don't own it
nor any of the characters or places that are recognizable. I do however own
the following characters: Summer Breen, Lela Alder, Richard J. Alder,
Melisma Kay and Ollie the Butler. Becs owns Toby and Nicholas (she's really
cool, she drew me a pic of Summer for me! :D)

Note: My universe is different to the normal one. In mine everything in Season Two minus the last three episodes happened. Therefore no one knows that mutants really exist. But a few things in Season three do happen. Lance and Kitty break up and Gambit is around.
Chapter Six: Late Night Discussions
Thursday- 7:45pm
Lance and Toby were currently bored out of their minds watching a brainless game show on TV. It was Thursday night, they had finished their homework (well Toby had, Lance had decided it was bad for his health to do it) and there was nothing to do. Pietro had gone out, probably on another date with one of his many ditzy admirers; Todd and Fred had gone out for sundaes.
"Change the channel", Lance yawned as he stretched his arms up.
Toby grunted in annoyance,
"You're closer you lazy ass."
Lance growled, the room began to shake. Toby sighed in resignation and got up to change the channel, the shaking in the house's foundations subsiding once his feet had touched the floor. He really couldn't afford Lance destroying the property anymore. The walls were already cracked and the house creaked with every step placed upon each weary floorboard.
"You know,", commented Lance offhandedly, "I didn't see Summer at school today."
He tried to sound casually curious, hoping Toby wouldn't notice his real motive.
It had been two weeks since Summer had started school and had already become fast friends with the BoM. But she had been mysteriously absent from class that day.
"Oh", Toby smiled as he slid back onto the couch, "since when were you so concerned?"
Lance's face turned slightly redder,
"Well it was just an observation. I'd figure you'd seen her, after all she is your new best friend."
Toby smirked slyly, "Oooh, someone's sounding a little jealous."
Lance shook his head as his face turned even redder,
"I'm not!"
"Yes you are" Toby gave a cheeky grin. He knew he had him cornered,
"No I'm not! Besides I'm still in love with Kitty!" Lance protested louder, but his voice was weak.
"Lance first off get over it she dumped you, and second you are jealous"
Lance sighed slightly aggravated,
"Must you remind me again?"
Toby noticing Lance's sadness wrapped his arm around his shoulder comfortingly,
"Hey cheer up, there are more fish in the sea like they always say. 'Sides at least now Kitty will never read those love letters underneath your mattress.."
"WHAT?"
Toby realizing what he had foolishly done shut his mouth and slapped his hands over it. Lance's eye began to twitch as the couch began to vibrate. Toby suddenly got very scared. The situation would have been quite funny if he wasn't the one in trouble. While Toby sat there in fear, Lance's face turned so red it looked like steam was about to come out of his ears. Toby wanted to say that he only thought that happened in cartoons but he knew to keep his big mouth shut when Lance went into on of his ballistic modes.
"YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO READ THOSE!! YOU WILL DIE!!" Lance yelled as the house started to shake again, this time more violently.
Toby's face became drained of its colour,
"Calm down.. ahhh.stop it, the house might fall down! I won't be the one to fix it up, Lance."
The shaking stopped and Toby fell to the ground in a dizzy heap, but not before saying,
"On the upside, they were actually quite good..."
"TOBY!"
************* Thursday- 9:51pm
Summer groaned in pain, as she turned to her side, still sleepy. She had lost control again of her powers. Last night however had been notably much worse than usual. Her arms were swollen and tender as she gingerly stroked them with her finger. The burns were one of the many side effects left by her powers, and these "power surges" always occurred whenever she had that dream, about that man that she feared so much.
"Good to see you're up sis."
Summer smiled mildly as her sister strolled in and sat at the edge of her bed.
"Lela", Summer whispered hoarsely, "who was that you were talking to before?"
Lela smiled softly, "Um.a guy who can help you with your powers."
Summer's eyes widened in disbelief,
"Fuck, serious?"
Lela looked at her with a disapproving look, but couldn't help but smile at the same time.
"No need for language. His name is Professor Xavier and he has an institute that helps mutants control their powers. I think it'd be best if you sent the weekend there."
Summer's jaw fell slightly,
"You're bloody joking right?"
"No Summer I'm dead serious"
Summer started to shake her head as she tried to sit up, wincing as her arms took the weight of her body. She crashed back down in failure; her arms still weak from the abrasions on her arms.
Lela looked at her sadly. Why did her sister have to be so damn stubborn?
"I'm not going" Summer pouted persistently.
"You are going" Lela spoke decisively.
"No I'm Not"
"Yes you are"
"No way."
"It' won't be that bad"
"Yes it will"
"Look", Lela pleaded, "I've arranged with the Professor that you're going so there."
"Oh that's nice", Summer sniffed, "don't even ask for my permission."
"Summer Rae Breen quit acting like a little bitch!"
Summer went silent. Her sister only used her full name when she was frustrated or pissed.
"Look sis, I'm doing this in your best interest. It's only three days. You come back home Sunday night so you have nothing to complain about!" Lela explained as she rubbed her temples tenderly.
Summer breathed heavily realising there was no way of getting out of this.
"Fine I'll go, just to make you stop annoying me."
Her sister gave a triumphant grin as she got up and walked to the door,
"Don't stay up to late k?"
And with that she closed the door behind her.
Summer sighed and wriggled her way to her phone. She picked it up and dialled a familiar number and waited for the other end to pick up.
************ Thurday: 10:02pm
Lance was counting how many cracks were on the ceiling when the phone rang. Wondering who could be calling at this hour he picked up.
"Hey The Brotherhood House, Lance here."
"Hey Lance", Summer's voice came over the other line, "how are ya?"
"Summer!" Lance exclaimed happily, "I'm fine, are you ok? You weren't at school."
"I'm fine, I was feeling a little ill this morning.. did I miss much at school?"
"How should I know", Lance scoffed, "I don't pay attention."
Summer's laughter filled the line as a grin got plastered over Lance's face.
"So how are the others?"
"Well Pietro's got yet another girlfriend, I bet this one will last a day, Todd slime.er threw a water boom at Kelly's car, Fred started a food fight, Toby contemplated about why Pietro didn't like him the way he wanted him to and I just well.." truthfully he had dreamt about Kitty the whole day but he didn't wanna bore her with that so he said casually, " and I watched the chaos unfold.
He could hear Summer pretending to cry,
"Oh and I missed out on all the fun!"
Lance laughed at her for a minute before she interrupted him.
"Lance?"
"Yeah Sum?"
"Hey do you know anything about a Professor Xavier?"
Lance stopped in his tracks,
"What?"
"I dunno, I'm suppose to be spending the weekend there and I don't know anything bout the guy. He could be a freaking pervert for all I know!"
Lance didn't know how to reply to his. Just then Toby walked in with a giant Crunch bar in his hand.
"Who is it Lance?"
"It's Summer", Lance replied softly, "Tobs she's going to see the Prof tomorrow."
"WHAT?" Toby shouted.
"Lance was that Toby?" Summer asked quietly.
"Um yeah.. hang on I'll put him on" Lance jerked the phone to Toby who picked it up.
"Hey Sum, what's this about the Prof?"
"Well um I'm supposed to spend the weekend at his institute. It sounds kinda seedy, like the Playboy Mansion and I was just wondering if you knew anything about him."
"Summer", Toby said, his voice suddenly turning worried, "is there something you're not telling me?"
"No" she added quickly.
"Summer, the only people who go see the Prof are mutants."
"...."
"Summer?"
"You're not gonna tell are you?"
"What?" Toby was taken back, "no no, in fact I'm a mutant too so don't worry. So is the rest of the BoM."
"Toby?"
"Yeah Summer?"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER? I'VE BEEN DEBATING WITH MYSELF IF I SHOULD TELL YOU OR NOT AND THEN I FIND OUT THAT MY WHOLE GROUP OF FRIENDS ARE MUTANTS TOO!" she screamed at the other end.
Toby jerked the phone away from his ear as she twittered on and on about trust and crap. It was obvious she wasn't thinking what she was saying and it was just the shock talking.
"Summer", Toby yelled back down the phone, "I'm giving the phone back to Lance.. I said Lance.oh for the love of."
Toby threw the phone into Lance's lap and marched off muttering about how difficult women were and why couldn't everyone just be gay like him.
Lance picked the phone up and put it next to his ear,
"Hey Summer so I guess you're a mutant huh? Welcome to the club."
"You should have told me earlier" she sniffed.
"It's not exactly something you just bring up", Lance said dryly.
"We'll meh!" she whined in defeat.
Lance laughed at her current display of stupidity, it was quite cute. They continued to talk about the rest of the day, Summer laughed as Lance explained how Jean had written a sonnet about Toby and had told the whole cafeteria that she and him were getting married. Lance also explained who was also a mutant at school and who the X-Men were.
"Shit I'm gonna die, Jean might be my roommate!" Summer wailed.
Lance nodded, "She'll probably try to get goss about Toby from you."
"Well she ain't getting any!" Summer proclaimed loudly.
Just then the three remaining BoM squeezed through the door and landed in a heap.
"Ouch Fred get off me!" Todd wailed in agony as Fred sat on top of him.
Pietro panicked as he ran to the nearest mirror,
"My hair, my hair's ruined!!"*
"No it's not, one strand is outta place" Todd cried underneath Fred, "AND FRED GET OFF!"
Fred quickly stood up and pulled Todd up.
"Yo Lance who ya talkin' too?" Todd asked as he hopped over to Lance.
"Summer" he said simply.
This caught Pietro's attention.
"Ooh Ooh!" Petey grinned as he zoomed and stole the phone off Lance, "Summer baby where were you today! I missed you!"
Summer snorted loudly,
"Petey I told you, not interested."
Petey looked hurt,
"Why not my hot mamma sita?"
"Petey", she explained slowly, "I just don't like you that way!"
"Fine then but you will one day!" Pietro moaned as he gave the phone back to Lance.
"Sorry bout that Summer, his ego will one day crush us all to the centre of the earth" Lance groaned.
"It's 'k (yawn) Lance I gotta go it's late."
"Ok then Sum, night"
"Night (yawn) see ya tomorrow"
"Bye"
