"Is somebody going to get that?" Cyclops shouted from the rec room.
*Ring*
"Damnit. I just got comfortable. Never any time for rest. This had better not be anything important." Cyclops grumbled as he got off the couch and stumbled over to the phone.
*Rin-*
"Hello, Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters, Scott Summers speaking, how may I help you?"
"Mr. Summers, this is the security office at the Southside Mall. Do you know a Remy LeBeau and Robert Drake?"
//Oh God no// "Yes I know them. What did they do?"
"Several witnessess say that they are responsible for causing property damage to the mall."
*Groan* "Like what?"
"Well they practically destroyed the pet store, caused damage to sections of the grocery store and destroyed a table at the food court. If you could please come down and get them, they will also need to pay for all the damage that they caused."
"Of course. I'll be down right away to get them." with that Scott hung up the phone and called the X-Men for a meeting in the Danger Room.
A few moments later in the Danger Room. . .
"So whats going on, Scott?" Warren asked.
"I just got a call from the mall, Remy and Bobby have been causing some trouble. I need to send a few of you to go and bring them back."
"No *way* am I going to get them," Warren stated.
"Ah think that Scott should go. He is team leader after all," Rogue said.
"Send Storm, Remy'll listen to her."
"Well, I'm not going."
"I'll stay home and watch the mansion."
"Quiet! All of you. I'm team leader so I get to decide who goes."
"Yes. But I am co-leader so I get a say as well."
"Look we'll all go," Jean said. "We'll probably need to split up to find them anyway." Everybody grumbled, but eventually agreed.
"Alright everybody. Your mission is to find Remy and Bobby and get out of the mall without causing anymore damage." Cyclops looked at each of the X-men in turn. Warren looked terrified, Storm looked calm but determined, Jean had a slightly amused expression on her face, Bishop, as usual, gave nothing away and Rogue looked nervous. Scott was just plain worried, who knew what kind of trouble those two could be getting into at this very moment. "Alright, let's go X-Men."
