Okay, I am seriously considering extending this fic a few more chapters than 10! What do you think? I have a few more ideas. Should I? Let me know!
Glory, Glory Paranoia
You would think after the 'Fire Island' incident that both the Misfits and the X-Men would have given each other some time to cool off. But that wasn't so. Nearly the entire Misfit gang would show up at the X-Mansion every day. This of course led to more bickering, fights and holes in the wall. This also led to several people in the town complaining about the sound of explosions which seemed to dominate the entire town of Bayville. Which led to Xavier having several talks with the police and more and more talks with the lawyers.
After a week of incidents several of the X-Men had had more than enough. "Professor why are you allowing this to continue?" Scott finally asked one night at dinner.
"Scott it is important that we learn to try to get along with each other," Xavier sighed for the thousandth time.
"How the hell can we possibly get along with them!" Scott shouted as he pointed to the Misfits eating ravenously at the end of the table. "Look at them! They even eat like maniacs!"
"Hey when you have a hard day blowing up Cobra bases ya gotta eat!" Todd said between bites.
"Blowing up Cobra bases?" Xavier asked, trying to hide the nervousness in his voice.
"Only little ones," Shipwreck slurped on his soup. "Hey! Pass the rolls will ya?"
"Yeah we thought that the kids could do with more on the field training," Low Light said. "Thanks to the Mass Device we can teleport down, blow 'em up and catch those snakes with their pants down!"
"We did catch one with his pants down!" Althea snickered. "I'll never forget the look on that trooper's face as he came stumbling out of the toilet with his pants around his ankles! It was priceless! Pop quit hogging the rolls!"
"Well if you want the rolls so bad here!" Shipwreck started throwing them at her.
"Not like that you lunatic!" Althea started throwing the rolls back.
"Yeah it's real interesting the things you see on a raid," Pietro said, ignoring the roll throwing.
"It's also interesting how you guys always seem to come at meal times!" Scott snapped.
"So?" Todd asked. "We like the grub!" He used his tongue to snag a thrown roll and gulped it down.
"Ewww," Kitty winced. "Do you like, have to do that at the table?"
"You should count yourself lucky that there aren't any flies at the table," Wanda told her.
"What does General Hawk have to say about all of you spending so much time here anyway?" Jean asked.
"He doesn't mind," Wanda told her.
"Why am I not surprised?" Logan groaned.
"Perhaps I should have a few words with him," Xavier said as he saw that now Lance and Fred were getting involved in the roll war.
"Hawk's on some kind of overnight briefing with some generals," Shipwreck told him. "He'll be back later tomorrow. GIVE ME THOSE ROLLS!"
"YOU WANT 'EM? THEY'RE YOURS!" Althea started throwing them. Soon they were hitting members of the X-Men, which of course led to retaliatory strikes.
"Can't you do something?" Ororo asked Roadblock as the melee continued.
"We've tried," Roadblock sighed. "Lord knows we've tried…"
"I still say we should try that experiment with the explosives to get 'em to learn some manners," Cover Girl said.
"Explosives?" Xavier blinked.
"Yeah in the silverware and…" She began.
"Forget it," Xavier held up his hand. "I don't want to know! Ow!" A roll hit his head.
"Oops," Kitty blinked. "Sorry Professor!"
"It's a good thing the Half-Pint didn't make the rolls tonight," Logan commented.
"I heard that!" Kitty whacked him with a roll.
"Great now our team's picking up their bad manners!" Scott groaned. Immediately a dozen rolls showered him.
"Have some potatoes Shades!" Tabitha shouted as she threw a time bomb into the bowl of mashed potatoes.
"Tabitha! No!" Scott shouted. Too late, soon the entire room and everyone in it was covered with potatoes.
"Potatamoes!" Claudius shrieked happily licking mashed potatoes off his flippers.
"Po-tamoes!" Barney giggled.
"Okay…rolls are one thing," Wanda growled. "But this is war!"
"We're not going to be able to stop this are we?" Xavier sighed as the adults sat around while the students went at it.
"Not without a couple of tanks," Logan muttered.
"Ah yes," Hank sighed. "Another evening of sophisticated conversation and fine dining at the Xavier Mansion for the Gifted."
"Gifted is not the word I was thinking of just now…"Roadblock sighed as the food fight went into full swing.
***********************************************************************
"I still say they're a bad influence and the Professor should ban them from the mansion," Scott grumbled. It was late after dinner and several of the boys had just finished the dishes. The Misfits had teleported home hours ago.
"Well in their defense, they weren't the ones who blew up the mashed potatoes," Kurt groaned. "Or made that hole in the wall!"
"Trinity knocked my glasses loose okay? I think those guys are up to something," Scott said. "And it's not just Lance. I wouldn't be surprised if they had some kind of hidden agenda!"
"Of course they do," Bobby said. "It's to make us nuts. And they're doing a great job of it!"
"No, it's something else," Scott said. "I don't know what it is, but I've got a gut feeling that just won't go away. They're up to something all right."
"Scott will you please stop obsessing about this?" Bobby groaned.
"Yeah forget about that!" Peter said. "What's really worrying me is what is Avalanche planning!"
"Yes," Scott growled. "Lance is bad."
"Very bad," Peter growled. "And very sneaky."
"Extremely sneaky," Scott said. "No telling what he's up to!"
"He's up to something," Peter growled. "But what? What?"
"Oh brother," Bobby groaned. "I see the Paranoia Patrol is at it again!"
"He's got some plan for Kitty," Peter said. Both of them were standing together trying to figure things out. "But what?"
"Well that's a given," Scott said. "But there's something more! There's got to be! Alvers must have some kind of master plan behind all of this? But what? What is it?"
"You know what Gambit thinks?" Remy finally spoke. "Gambit thinks you two have finally lost your minds."
"I'm serious," Scott said. "Lance is capable of anything!"
"Forget him, he's an idiot," Kurt snapped. "If any of them are a menace its Pietro!"
"I thought it was Toad you hated?" Bobby asked.
"Well ever since Althea came along he's been a bit more mellow," Kurt said.
"Althea!" Scott smacked his forehead with his hand. "Of course! How could I have been so stupid! She's the leader of those morons! If anyone has any plot against us it's her!"
"Oh lord give me strength," Kurt moaned.
"It's so obvious!" Scott paced back and forth. "She's the brains of the gang! She has some kind of sick twisted plot! But what is her angle?"
"Maybe her angle is to get you all so paranoid you all go crazy," Remy drawled.
"It's working," Kurt sighed.
"It's still Lance we have to watch out for!" Peter said. "What if he decides to use that teleportation device to sneak into her room and attack her?"
"Oh for crying out loud!" Kurt shouted. "Avalanche couldn't sneak into a war zone! Let alone Kitty's room!"
Suddenly there was the sound of a very loud radio playing from outside. " I will always love you!" Lance's voice could be heard through the entire mansion.
"I rest my case!" Kurt teleported outside with Scott and Peter and they found Lance was singing outside the mansion. He was on a makeshift stage and had a very loud and very powerful microphone with him.
"LANCE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Peter shouted.
"I'm serenading Kitty!" Lance snapped.
"I'm his DJ!" Shipwreck waved in the back. He had sunglasses on and he was in charge of some very large music equipment.
"GET OUTTA HERE!" Peter shouted charging at Lance. He changed to his armored form.
"MAKE ME!" Lance shouted, creating a small tremor.
"KNOCK IT OFF THE BOTH OF YOU!" Kitty shouted as she ran out. "WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE TWO OF YOU? CAN'T YOU TWO GO EVEN ONE NIGHT WITHOUT FIGHTING?"
"I was only trying to serenade you," Lance pouted.
"You were trying to cause trouble!" Scott snapped.
"Zip it Scott!" Kitty whirled on him. "I am like so not in the mood for all of this! You're not exactly helping the situation any you know?"
"Me?" Scott yelped. "What did I do?"
"What did you do?" Kitty snapped. "Just what you always do! Set these two against each other! Sometimes you are just as big a jerk as they are sometimes! No you're worse! At least they act this way because they care about me! Not because they feel like they have to pull some macho big brother act!"
"You tell 'em girlfriend!" Shipwreck called out.
"Mr. Delgato will you please butt out or I will call your daughter on you!" Kitty shouted.
"I'll be quiet," Shipwreck stepped away.
"Kitty I'm just trying to protect you!" Scott babbled. "I mean you are…"
"What?" Kitty raised an eyebrow. "A girl?"
"Well…yeah," Scott gulped.
"Uh oh," Lance skittered away very quickly.
"Now he's done it," Shipwreck gulped.
"Wrong thing to say," Peter gulped as he saw Kitty tackle Scott. "Definitely the wrong thing to say!"
"What's going on?" Bobby asked.
"Lance was serenading Kitty, Peter and Scott interrupted and then Scott made a stupid comment about how Kitty needs protection because she's a girl," Remy told him.
"KITTY! OW! OW! MY ARM! MY ARM!" Scott screamed.
"Yeah she's a real damsel in distress," Remy rolled his eyes.
"Boy am I glad it's not me who's getting beaten up," Lance whispered to Peter.
"Me too," Peter winced as he watched the beating.
"Uh I think we'd better get out of here before she decides to wail on all of us!" Shipwreck gulped.
"Good idea," Lance agreed. "See ya!" He and Shipwreck teleported off.
"Uh," Bobby asked as several X-Men watched from afar. "Is anybody gonna help him?"
"No way," Rogue huffed. "He deserves it."
"I ain't getting' in her way," Remy said. "Well other than this it's the first quiet evening we've had in a long time."
"HELLLOOOOOO X-MANSION!" Jamie shouted into the microphone. "I WANNA ROCK!" He put on some sunglasses and started to sing.
"You were saying?" Rogue said.
Xavier sat from the window and had watched the entire thing. The phone rang on his desk and he answered it, knowing who it was.
"Oh hello officer," Xavier sighed. "Nice to hear from you again."
