Chapter 9 - A mother's touch

Mystique knocked loudly on the door ofthe Xavier Institute for gifted youngesters. She had been knocking for quite a while now..and had got no answer.

"If this is some sort of prank, i will personally cook Toad's legs", she muttered to herself.

She looked around and noticed the kitchen window was open. She sighed and walked over to it, she couldn't fit in it if she was her normal self..but that could change. She shape-shifted into a squirrel and climbed through the window, landing in the kitchen. The place looked as if a tornado had hit it...and maybe an Earthquake too. Mystique walked forward and was about to change back to her normal self when...

"Squriely!".

Mystique gave a squeak of shock as she was picked up by Scott...or at least a young child who looked like Scott..maybe Toad wasn't making it up.. She gasped for air as Scott hugged her...tightly. Suddenly a young Lance walked up. He saw Scott and scowled.

"My squirrely!", he said, marching over and grabbing Mystique's front half.

"No!. Mine!", shouted Scott, pulling back with her back half.

"Mine!".

"Mine!".

Mystique gasped. It was not fun being a tug-of-war toy. She narrowed her eyes and turned into a big purple demon and roared. Scott and Lance let her go. They stared at her for a second, then grinned.

"Barney!", said Lance happily, hugging Mystique's leg.

"I love you Barney", said Scott, doing the same with her other leg.

"I love him more", stated Lance.

"Nuh uh, I love him more!", said Scott.

"Me!"

"Me inifnty!".

"Bring it on!".

Mystique breathed a sigh of relief as they let go of her and wrestled each other to the ground. She changed into her normal form and walked off, almost losing her footing on the tiny tremor that sweapt through the room. She headed into the common room and stopped dead in her tracks. Tied up on chairs were Jamie and Remy, both crying and gagged. Amara and Pryo were dancing around them, Amara setting off fires and Pyro turning them into animals as they went. In another corner sat Todd, his eye's wide with fear, his mouth gagged. On his knee sat Wanda she smiled happily and looked at him.

"I love you Kermit", she said happily.

Mystique blinked and walked over to Todd...as neither Jamie or Remy seemed to be in any stable mental condition to talk. She took off his gag and Todd looked at Mystique in horror.

"They rebeled boss-lady!", he said, "Pietro led them all against us...they got Kitty!".

"Oh boy", said Mystique, rolling her eyes, "and i thought this was some sort of joke. Where is sh...".

"MOMMY!".

Mystique was suddenly winded as Kurt latched himself around her smiling happily.

"I love you mummy", he said hugging her.

Mystique gave a little sniffle.

"Boss-lady?", said Todd, a little hint of panic creeping into is voice, "can ya plase untie me before ya go all sentimental".

Mystique nodded and untied Todd, then turned back to Kurt, picking him up and hugging him.

"My little boy!", she said happily, "all i need now is..".

"Mummy!".

"Rogue".

Rogue ran up and went to hug Mystique. Thinking quickly, the blue-skinned Mutant grabbed a pair of gloves before picking up her daughter.

"I have my family", said Mystique happily, "lets go read a story kids".

"Yay!", said Kurt and Rogue.

"Boss-lady?", said Todd, "what about Kitty?...ok, i guess i'll go and get her myself".

Todd heard a scream from ustairs and made his way to the sound. He finally found Kitty in the bathroom, forzen in place by Bobby as Pietro was putting makeup on her.

"You look all pretty now", he said proudly.

Kitty actually looked like she was going to war....but Todd decided not to make the situtation worse by saying so.

"Hey Kitty...why didn't ya just phase out?", he asked.

"Oh yeah, i didn't, like, think of that!", snapped Kitty, "they said if i tried to do it, they would...they would....".

"The dwagon gets it!", said Logan with an evil laugh, pointing his metal claws at a stuffed dragon.

"Wait....you mean ta tell me that ya would rather sit there, frozen in place by ice an' have Pietro draw on yer face than let them rip up a stuffed toy?", asked Todd, blinking.

"Not just ANY stuffed toy!", stated Kitty, "he's Lockheed".

"Whatever", said Todd, rolling his eyes.

He grabbed Lockheed away from Lance and turned to Pietro.

"Let her go", he said.

"We have to neg..nego..negowsiate first!", said Pietro.

"Negow..oh, you mean negociate!", said Todd.

"That's what i said", said Pietro.

"What do ya want", said Todd with a sigh.

"CANDY!", shouted Pietro, "'an we wanna go to the park!!!!!".

"Parky parky parky!", shouted the kids happily.

"Take you lot out in public?. I don't think so", said Todd.

"Then she stays a popswicle", said Pietro with an evil laugh.

"Todd....i can't feel my legs anymore", said Kitty.

Todd sighed and banged his head on the wall.

"I hate my life", he said.



Uh oh. More trouble! Does Todd give in to Pietro's demands?. What will they get up to if he does?. Remember, all suggestions are greately recived, and i do try to put them up. Please review, until next time....
