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 Adler, Richard J. Adler,
Melisma Kay, La Nicha Jones and Ollie the Butler. Becs owns Toby and Mindy.
Finally Hypercaz (my beta reader and heaps good friend) thought Nate up!
But later on he'll turn out to be someone we all know..
Blink And You'll Miss It
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. Don't ask me about Kitty's behaviour in the next couple of chapters. I always thought she seemed like the type who could suddenly just snap and get all jealous. I mean she can't be all Miss Mary Sunshine all the time right? Look at Jean!
Chapter Eleven: Dangerous Games
Sunday 7:15am
"PIETRO GET OUT OF MY ROOM! I'M NOT TELLING YOU HOW IT HAPPENED!" Lance screamed as the house began to shake suddenly. Chunks of the roof collided with the ground, narrowly missing a tired looking Todd who was trying to find out who was making all of the ruckus.
"What's going on?" Fred yawned as he walked out of his room.
Todd shrugged,
"Beats me, I just woke up."
"They've been like that for four bloody hours," growled Toby, looking very fatigued, "Pietro has been hassling Rocky all night about his little kiss with Sunny. God, why can't Pietro sleep in like normal people?"
"It's part of my mutation," Pietro explained as he suddenly appeared, "I don't need as much sleep cause my body works faster than your crappy ones."
Toby groaned,
"Pietro shut the hell up, it's too early for loud noises."
Pietro zipped down the stairs and came back with a mug full of freshly brewed coffee,
"Have some coffee, Grumpy Toby + coffee = Happy Toby!"*
Fred scratched his head,
"Haven't we told him that before?"
"So what? It's the truth," Todd said without abandon.
Toby snatched the coffee from Pietro's hands and sipped on it. Meanwhile Lance stumbled out of his room heading to the shower.
"I'm going out soon," Lance mumbled under his breath, "Won't be back til later tonight."
"Gonna make out with your girlfriend some more eh?" Pietro smirked nastily at him. Lance flicked the finger in his direction as the bathroom door slammed shut.
Toby frowned at Pietro.
"What?" Pietro cried defensively.
"Why are you giving him such a bloody hard time? It's not like he's dating Jean or anything. Give him a break," Toby said sharply.
"Thank god for that!" Fred proclaimed loudly.
Pietro leaned back against the wall,
"Hey I'm fine with him dating her, they seem happy enough together. It's just that Summer's our friend too and now she's dating Lance. What happens if they break up? She won't want to hang out with us, if he's going to be around."
Pietro was right, Toby hadn't thought about this scenario. Toby only hoped that it wouldn't have to lead to that.
***********
Thursday 12:14pm Two Weeks Later
"Ahh the Sadie Hawkins Dance, my favourite time of the year. All the lovelies asking moi to the dance. Couldn't be grander, I've already got five girls dying to go with me," Pietro sighed happily as he, Todd and Lance walked through the deserted corridor. They were skipping fifth period cause it was Algebra, their least favourite subject.
Todd kicked a paper ball out of the way with his foot,
"Lucky you. Women are jumping at the chance to go with you. Me? I'll be lucky if at least one girl considers me!"
"Cheer up Toad. I'm sure you'll get a date," Lance smiled optimistically, winking at Todd.
"Easy for you to say. You have Summer to go with," Todd complained.
"Not my problem," Lance smiled innocently.
They had been dating for two weeks and their relationship had developed into something. Holding hands, any excuse for body contact and several times they had gotten into trouble by Principal Kelly for kissing in the janitor's closet. Lance thought it was entertaining watching Kelly blow his top while Summer complained that he was just jealous that some people were getting more action than he was.
Just then the bell rang and swarms of students started to spill into the corridor. The three BoM made their way down the hall until they reached a classroom. They waited until Summer and Toby walked out. Lance pulled his girlfriend out of the way gently,
"Hey baby," He smirked as he kissed the top of her head slowly. She responded by hugging him tightly, resting her head against his chest.
"Spare us the love fest!" Pietro cried, covering his face with his hands.
Toby responded by cuffing him over the head. Pietro scowled and rubbed his head, hurrying to catch up with them as they made their way to the cafeteria. After they had gotten their meal they sat down at their usual table, which happened to in full view of the X-Men table.
"So Tobs are you gonna ask anyone to the dance?" Summer asked curiously sipping on her Dr Pepper.
"No. I would ask someone but," he turned his head towards Pietro, who in turn looked away suddenly, "They don't seem interested this time round."
"Well if you don't have a date, I can always ask my friend Melisma to take you," Summer offered.
"Well that seems sweet Sum, but I don't really want to be hooked up with . . ."
"She's a lesbian. She won't touch you without a ten foot pole."
Toby swallowed,
"Oh."
************
After Lunch
Lance was walking to his locker when someone stopped in his way, the evil bitch over wise known as Mindy, her squad of brainless cheerleaders flanking her in a way which reminded him of bodyguards.
"Like hey Lance Al-vers," She giggled not to kindly. Lance frowned at her,
"What do you want Mindy?"
"Oh well me and the girls on the squad heard a little rumour going around the school, and we wanted to know if it was true."
"What is it?" he asked uneasily, wishing she would just leave.
"Is it true that the day after you started dating Breen you fucked her?"
It was at that moment Lance lost all colour in his face.
"Course it's not true, you bitch."
"Really?" Mindy raised her eyebrow sceptically at him, "Cause with all that sexual tension going between you two I'm surprised if you haven't already done the dirty deed."
"Suppose you know all about that, wouldn't you? Now piss off," Lance snapped trying to shove past her but she latched her hand onto his shoulder.
"Was she good? Did she put out?" Mindy sneered at him maliciously.
Lance tried to ignore her comments but finally he couldn't take it anymore and just snapped. He hit Mindy out of the way with his shoulder so she got pushed to the lockers. Then he punched the locker, missing her head by inches. Mindy screamed, as did the rest of her squad. He then stormed away, leaving Mindy to tend to her bruised pride.
As he was storming off he collided into someone's chest. The chest of Duncan Mathews, Jean's dumb ass boyfriend.
"Well, if it isn't Lance Alvers. So tell us, what was it like bedding the ever lovely Summer?" Duncan congratulated spitefully.
"Don't you speak about my girlfriend like that," Lance growled, clenching his fists.
Duncan sneered,
"Like what?"
"Like you referring to one of your whores of the week," Lance snapped back.
Duncan's eyebrows narrowed and the next thing Lance knew, he was shoved against the lockers.
"Listen Alvers, I don't know how scum like you got a hot chick like Breen but I'll make sure that you're out of the picture. Permanently," Duncan spat, his meaty fist waving in front of his captive, ready to collide with Lance's face. Just then someone grabbed Duncan's arm and pushed him out of the way.
"Hey what the hell do you think you're doing?" It was Pietro, looking rather angry at a certain jock.
"Get lost Maximoff. This is between me and Alvers," Duncan snarled still glaring at Lance, whose face showed equal dislike.
"No I'm here to stop Lance beating the crap out of you. Let's go," He motioned. Soon he and Lance were away from the scene, Lance looking very upset.
"Shit how did this get around the school so fast. Speedy, you believe me right? I'd never do . . ."
"Whoa there, I believe you. You care about that girl too much to do something that stupid. Sides, if you did wouldn't I be the first one to find out," Pietro added with a small smirk. Lance smiled slightly, knowing that Petey was only trying to make him feel better.
"I only wished I knew who had started up that rumour" Lance sighed dryly. Pietro stopped and pointed his finger forward,
"I think I know who".
There in front of him was Kitty, whispering something into a freshman's ear. The freshman's eyes widened and she ran off telling something to every second person she saw. Lance could feel his face going red with anger. He stormed over to Kitty, anger glinting in his eyes.
"Kitty Kat what the hell are you doing?"
Kitty spun around,
"Oh like hey Lance . . ."
"Don't you act all Miss Mary Sunshine on me you back stabbing bitch" Lance said between his teeth, while Kitty's expression fell.
"Like Lance", Kitty started uneasy, "don't start accusing me starting that rumour up!"
Lance smirked; he had hoped she would say that,
"What rumour are you talking about?"
Kitty's eyes flashed with nervousness. She knew she had just signed her own death sentence.
"Listen, just because I got over you don't start trying messing up my relationship with Summer. She means a lot to me and I'll be damned as hell if you go and fuck that up." Lance seethed.
Kitty's expression darkened. Lance smirked, knowing he had won and started to walk away. Then,
"Lance wait!"
"What-?" he began, but was interrupted by Kitty throwing her arms around him and pressing her lips to Lance's. She slammed Lance back against the lockers, holding him there while continuing to kiss him. Lance tried to push her away several time, but failed as she held him securely.
***********
Meanwhile
"Crap, Lance has my Social Studies book. Toby can you come with me?" Summer asked taking her leather notebook and pencil case out of her locker. Toby nodded, not really thinking and the two of them made their way to Lance's locker. They turned a corner. Then they saw something that stopped Toby in his tracks and Summer's heart break into a million pieces.
Lance and Kitty were making out quite intensely in front of his locker.
Toby couldn't believe his eyes. After all the bloody work he had gone through to get those two together, Lance had thrown it all away. Summer though just stood there, watching in horror her eyes leaking with tears. She let out a loud sob, loud enough for Kitty and Lance to look up. Lance's face looked absolutely petrified as he met her horrified eyes,
"Summer wait!"
"FUCK YOU ALVERS, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU WERE ONLY USING ME!" She screeched and she ran down the opposite direction, tears flowing from her eyes. She didn't want to believe what she had just witness but she had seen it. And just thinking about it made her want to cry even more.
Lance tried to run after her but was unexpectedly punched in the face by Toby,
"You jackass! I can't believe you'd do something like that," and he too left.
Lance was left there, kneeling on the ground nursing his face. He then started to think what hurted more, Toby's punch or the way Summer had looked at him with those glassy blue eyes of hers. Lance bowed his head in shame,
He had lost her.
***********
As soon as Nathan saw Kitty rushing towards him he knew. He knew that her revenge had started, knew it was sweet on her tongue.
Kitty's face was flushed with triumph as she cried,
"It worked! Summer like thinks Lance was totally cheating on her!"
"Very good, Katherine, very good," Appraised Nathan softly. Kitty was out of breath, he could tell. She must have run all the way from school.
Slowly, his eyes roved over her form, drinking her in. Kitty was smiling - she thought that soon she would be popular and pretty in the eyes of her peers. Nathan smirked maliciously. Kitty would never suspect his intentions until it was too late. . .and by then, she wouldn't care.
Kitty had reached him now and threw her arms around him. Nathan didn't mind, not at all. Soon, he reminded himself, soon I will have two treasures I so desire. . .
"I so can't wait until the dance," Kitty laughed in a dark way, "It will be so totally perfect!"
And so it would.
************
Next Chapter: Lots of Lies, Deceit and Lust. Rogue starts to suspect Kitty of wrongdoing, Toby learns the truth and everyone's favourite Cajun makes a surprise appearance! What's the secret information he must tell Summer? Stay Tuned.
*I totally forgot to mention this. This line is from a story called "Tai's Party" by Becs! Go read it it's hilarious. I used it cause I'd figure it was like Pietro's line to Toby in the morning.
