Visiting Day Always Gives Me Migraines
The adult X-Men were soon left alone in the study. "Chuck are you out of your freaking mind?" Logan snapped. "What is the matter with you? Don't you ever learn?"
"I know your heart is in the right place Charles," Ororo said. "But Logan does have a point. Every time we have encountered those children trouble happens. Don't you remember what happened the last time they were in the mansion?"
"They wrecked my lab!" Hank whined.
"Those triplets used me for an experiment!" Logan snapped.
"What about the time we tried to help Low Light and you nearly ended up needing a psychiatrist yourself?" Ororo snapped. "The adults are just as insane as the students! Shipwreck's already made a pass at me!"
"Remember training at the GI Joe base?" Hank asked. "That was a brilliant idea!"
"So was working with the boys when they were still with the Brotherhood to fight against Magneto!" Logan said. "The mansion got blown up!"
"That was Mystique," Xavier pointed out. "The boys knew nothing about her plan."
"Still Charles you cannot blame us for having reservations about this idea," Hank said.
"I know you do and frankly so do I," Xavier sighed. "But we're forgetting something. In the first place Shipwreck did have a point. Mutants should not be divided. We need to stand together to face the difficult days ahead. This is also a chance for mutants to learn to work with humans. Most of the adults are human, remember? How can we ever attain peace between humans and mutants worldwide if we can't bring peace between two different groups?"
"I hate it when you make sense," Logan growled. "But still there are some people you are never going to get along with Charles. No matter how hard you try."
"Maybe but there is another reason, Logan," Xavier told him. "Have you forgotten that two of our students are related to two of their students? We owe it to both Rogue and Kurt that we at least try to have them have some kind of relationship with Wanda and Pietro."
"THAT'S IT PIETRO!" They could hear Kurt shouting. "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"GO AHEAD AND TRY FUR-BOY!" Pietro taunted. What followed was the sound of several things breaking.
"CAN'T YOU CONTROL YOUR LUNATIC BROTHER?" Rogue was heard screaming amidst more things breaking.
"WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO CONTROL YOUR LUNATIC BROTHER?" Wanda shouted. What followed was a minor explosion.
Xavier winced. "I did not say it was going to be easy…"
"I'd better go out there," Ororo sighed. She left the room "Where are those Joes? Why aren't they doing something about this?"
"AAAHHHHHH!" A herd of Jamies nearly ran over Ororo. The Multiple clones were followed by Trinity who was followed by a very angry Cover Girl.
"GIRLS GET BACK HERE!" Cover Girl shouted. "YOU ARE NOT, REPEAT, NOT GOING TO DO ANY SPIN THE BOTTLE GAMES! GOT IT! COME BACK HERE!"
"Okay," Ororo blinked. "That explains her…"
Spirit walked by with both babies screaming loudly in his arms. "I apologize Storm," He sighed. "I'm afraid there's a bit of a mess in the downstairs bathroom."
"Where are the other adults?" Ororo asked.
"Trying to break up a fight between Tabitha and Amara," Spirit groaned as an explosion shook the house.
"Say no more," Ororo groaned and went down the stairs into the hallway. She saw Tabitha and Amara being restrained by several people each. "WHAT HAPPENED HERE?"
"Nothing much!" Tabitha snapped. "I just gotta teach the Princess here a lesson in manners!"
"If anybody needs to be taught a lesson it's you!" Amara shouted.
"Enough of this! How did this fight start?" Ororo groaned.
"Well let's just say someone made a few comments that got them going!" Ray glared at Todd.
"What?" Todd asked. "All I did was make a few casual observations. It's not my fault you have trouble with women."
"That's it!" Ray snapped, powering up. "I'm gonna have myself some fried Toad's legs!"
"Uh oh!" Todd hopped away down the hall with Ray at his heels.
"Why don't you get a clue Tabitha?" Amara snapped. "You're always causing trouble with everybody's relationships around here! Just because you and Ray broke up you think everyone else should be miserable!"
"Why don't you get a life Amara?" Tabitha snapped. "Instead of borrowing everyone else's?"
"Kitty!" They could hear Lance's voice from down the hall. "Will you please let me apologize to you?"
"Why don't you leave her alone, Avalanche!" Peter's voice could also be heard.
"Isn't that your cue to go meddle in their lives?" Amara snapped at Tabitha.
"Why you!" Tabitha lunged at her. Soon both girls were fighting with various people trying to drag them apart. Ororo tried to break them up as well but ended up getting knocked away. She found herself in Shipwreck's arms.
"I knew you'd fall for me!" He grinned.
"Get your hands off me you pervert!" Ororo grabbed him by the arm and threw him into a wall.
"You love me babe, admit it!" Shipwreck staggered as he got up.
"Kitty I know I have problems…" Lance pleaded as he followed her.
"Oh really? I hadn't noticed!" Kitty replied sarcastically.
"What about couple's therapy?" Lance pleaded.
"What about you just go away and never come back!" Peter snapped.
"What about you minding your own business?" Lance tackled him. Soon they were fighting as well.
"Great going Scott!" Jean shouted as she tried to help keep the peace.
"Yeah brilliant plan!" Remy growled.
"I told you not to snitch on Lance!" Rogue snapped.
"Oh shut up and help me get everybody to stop fighting!" Scott snapped.
"HOLD ON!" Roadblock shouted. "I heard something!" There was a low rumbling sound.
"So do I," The Blind Master said. "It sounds like…water?"
That was when a tidal wave of water rushed through the hallway. Ray was trying to swim for his life. Althea was riding the crest with Todd clinging to her back as she shouted, "TRY TO FRY MY BOYFRIEND WILL YOU?"
"This is not good…" Scott gulped.
Soon the water engulfed everyone in the hallway and carried all of them to the front door. With the exception of Pietro who ran ahead and locked the front door behind him from the outside.
From high on the balcony Cover Girl, Spirit and the babies watched. Trinity and the Multiple clones ran amok in the background. "Well this is something you don't see every day," She blinked.
"This stops now you psycho!" Ray shouted.
"For god's sakes Ray whatever you do, don't…" Scott shouted.
ZZZZAPPPP!
"AGGGHHHHHHH!" Everyone screamed as a mild electrical current hit their bodies. The tidal wave of water broke through the front door. Unfortunately for Pietro, he was still standing in front of the door so he got knocked down too. Soon everyone was washed up on the front lawn, wet and slightly fried.
"Use…your…powers…" Scott gasped.
"Bad idea huh?" Ray moaned.
"Ya think?" Rogue snapped.
"I hate my life…" Low Light moaned. "I hate my life…"
"Ow…" Todd moaned.
"Ray…" Tabitha gasped. "As soon as I get some feeling back in my arms I am going to kill you…"
Several Multiple clones ran out the front door screaming, followed by Trinity, then Cover Girl and Spirit with the babies. "Oh dear," Spirit sighed as he saw the sight.
"This is all your fault Alvers…" Scott snarled.
"My fault?" Lance snapped. "You're the one who snitched on me!"
"He has a point," Peter groaned.
"Let's beat the both of them up," Remy growled. "They're both responsible!"
"Works for me," Kurt growled. "My fur is singed and soaking wet!"
"Eww," Todd held his nose. "And people complain about how I smell!"
"DIE!" Kurt tackled Todd. And so another fight began among the students.
Outside the gate some very curious onlookers happened to be passing by. "I told you Madge that we should have moved to another town!" One man said to his wife.
"It's those crazy mutants again," Another person said. "What are they doing?"
"Causing more destruction no doubt," A man said. "There go our property values again!"
"They're a disgrace to the neighborhood!" A woman said.
"Forget the neighborhood! They're a menace to the entire community!" A man shouted.
"There is no way I am going to allow any of my kids to go to school with any of those things around that's for sure!" The first man said.
"Somebody should do something! Call the Police or the Riot Squad! Look at them fighting on the lawn like animals! It's disgraceful!"
"I did. They're too scared to come! Can't say I blame 'em!"
"Forget the police, what we need is the army! Call in the Marines!"
Back in the study Xavier and the others were oblivious to the noises, trying not to pay attention to the sounds of destruction around them. "I know that this will work," Xavier said emphatically. "I mean how bad could this end up?"
"Excuse me, have you even met the Misfits?" Logan asked. "How can hanging around with them be any good for the X-Men? We're fine just as we are!"
"They shouldn't all just be stuck in the house watching television, doing training and talking on the phone all day," Xavier said. "They need interaction."
A loud crash was heard. "By the sound of it I'd say they're getting some," Logan groaned. "I'll go. But I still say this is a bad idea!" He left the room. "Hey why is the hallway so wet?"
"I mean we really should all try harder to get along," Xavier rationalized. "Maybe this will work. Sure it will take some time…"
"Oh look there's a fire on the lawn," Hank said. They both looked at the huge melee on the front lawn. X-Men and Misfits were fighting each other with the adults trying to break them apart. Except for Ororo and Shipwreck, because she was beating him up.
"Okay maybe a lot of time…" Xavier sighed. "But this is for their own good. Our students need interaction with the outside world as well. The Joe's Mass Device can help us with that as well as with some of our missions."
"Chuck…" Logan poked his head in. "I think we need to call a plumber. Fast! Trust me on this!"
"There's a crowd outside the gates watching all of this! It looks like the entire neighborhood is out there! Is that a news truck?" Hank pointed to a vehicle beyond the fence.
"You know the phone bill wasn't really that high," Xavier groaned.
