Retribution X- Singing in the Rain
We looked around the new wing of the mansion wide eyed with wonderment.
"Is this all for us?" Mel asked
"Yes, seeing as you are now an official branch of the X men I felt it was time you lived like X men!" Professor X said "Of course you shall not be left completely unsupervised Wolverine has his own room too, what do you think I am? Stupid"
"Damn!"
"Oh! No!" Kat exclaimed running to a corner and rocking slightly
"Hey it's better then the Brady Bunch!" I pointed out causing the group to whoop in mock delight.
"Is there a Jacuzzi?" Jubes asked
"I'm not made of money you know!" He said as he left
The R.X. Wings first official Film night.
I stood up "As you are undoubtedly aware we have been left with a gaping hole in our lives, but this is only temporary as Remy (and our alcohol supply) should be returning next week" I paused for dramatic effect "So without further ado I present to you our first official film night"
"What's the film tonight then Ashley?"
"Well it's quite simply the best musical ever made!" I looked at Mel "Les Miserables does not constitute as the best musical ever so it ain't that." I watched as Mel's face fell.
I then looked at Jubilee who was beaming insanely at me "No it's isn't Moulin Rouge either! Honestly you people are sick!"
I looked at Kat who was sat on our brand new sofa bouncing up and down clapping excitedly "Yay!! It's Grease"
"You've got it buster!" I said pressing play
I looked around the room and knew secretly that everyone was content with my movie choice.
At the end of the movie
"Yes I know, sadly that does bring our first movie night to a climatic end" I smiled holding up the rewound video.
"No!" Mel screamed desperately "Ummm…Sorry…what I mean to say is we could watch another movie the night is yet young!"
"You got anything in mind?" Ev asked
"Yeah 'Singing in the rain!'"
Groan
At the end of 'Singing in the Rain'
tap tap tap tap tap THUD
Tap tap tap tap tap THUD
tap tap tap tap tap THUD *CHRASH
"There goes that new vase!"
"Kat you'll never be able to do it so give up!" I commented eating the last of the popcorn as I watched her try to copy the scene from the movie where the guy runs at the wall, run's up the wall and then somersaults off of it. However all she'd actually achieved so far was crashing into the wall breaking several expensive looking ornaments and gadgets in the process.
"What's all this noise" Wolverine asked from the doorway
"Wolvie watch me!!" Kat cried before launching herself at the wall once again and once again crashing into it and landing on her butt on the floor. She rubbed her head before getting up and repeating the whole scene again.
"Is this kid for real?" Wolverine asked helping himself to a handful of my popcorn before plonking himself next to me on the sofa.
"Are you watching? You're not watching! Please watch me!" Kat yelled
Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap THUD *Shatter*
"God at this rate Scooter will have to sell his body to replace all the stuff Juggernaut Junior over there's wiping out" Logan commented between mouthfuls of popcorn.
"Oh in that case we're doomed! We'll never be able to replace all that stuff after all who'd want to buy Scott's body Yuck!" I laughed "Kat I'm afraid you're going to have to sell your sorry little body to those who want it in order to pay for all this"
Kat looked at me worried and sat abruptly on the floor "Oh no. Ok so if its $1.50 a time that should be a million in…10 times!!" She looked like she was about to cry
"Hey Kat don't sweat it I was only joking!" I said holding up my hands
"Well Ashley Donovan that was a cruel trick to play on the mentally frail!" Kat said brow furrowed before jumping up "Oh well that means I can keep trying…. Are you watching Wolvie?"
"Sure Darlin'!" he said before muttering under his breath "I could do with a laugh"
An Hour later
Tap tap tap tap tap THUD
"I think I'm going to join the others upstairs, night you two" I said getting up
"Okay night Sparky"
Tap tap tap tap tap leap whoosh
"YAY! I DID IT! I DID IT!" She looked at him "You weren't watching were you?"
Wolverine shook his head sadly.
Kat shrugged "Oh well!"
Tap tap tap tap tap tap THUD
The next morning
I hissed in the manner of a snake and placed my hand over my closed eyes "It burns" I said as I felt my way to the door eyes firmly shut, once in the hallway I headed left feeling my way along the panelled wall.
I jumped as I felt someone breathing down my neck "And where exactly are you headed Sparky" I could her the smirk in his voice
"To the toilet, where else would a gal be headed at a time like this" I replied eyes still squeezed shut and started edging my way along the wall again.
"ARRGGGHHH!! SHIT!" I said as I felt the floor give way under me, my eyes flew open
"Easy kid I got yer!" Logan said pulling me back from the edge
"Bloody builders!!" I shouted cursing the people responsible for my near death experience. Then I looked around seeing stairs where there should have been floor "Where am I?" I asked
"The new wing!" he said letting go of me "And for future reference yer toilets adjoining your bedroom!" He threw back of his shoulder as he strutted away.
"Bloody know all!" I murmured under my breath
"I heard that!" His voice drifted up the stairs
5 Minutes later in Kats room
"I've got a head ache"
"I'm not surprised the way you were launching yourself at that wall last night!!" I replied "Hang on I'll get you some aspirin"
Retribution Xs second official Film night
"I am glad to introduce you to Wolverine tonight ladies it appears he decided 'The Exorcist' was his kind of film. Everyone say hi to Wolverine!" I instructed in my best Cyclops voice
"Hi Wolverine" The rest of the group said in unison
Wolverine just scowled.
"Wolverine were are your manners? At least try to act civilised even if you aren't and say Hi back to the gang!" I said sternly imitating Cyclops as best I could
"Hi" he growled glowering at me
"That's better we may now proceed"
At the end of the movie
"What a load of shit!" I screamed outraged "Whoever said that was the scariest movie of all time must have been all foam and no beer, Geez. Okay it was quite funny you know where she p…" I looked around the room everyone looked at me like I was a mad woman
"Do you know what worries me?" Kat leant forward and whispered conspiratorly "That one of US may be possessed by the devil"
Everyone looked at me including Wolverine; I shrugged "Ain't a gal entitled to an opinion"
"Yes quite" Kat nodded primly, we looked at her worriedly she really was acting weird
"Kat have you ever thought it was you who was possessed" Wolverine it seems wasn't worried about her mental state, instead deciding to add to her mental load.
"Oh no!" She squealed "Get it out get it out GET IT OUT!!" She then proceeded to hit herself on the head with the popcorn bowl sending popcorn flying.
An hour later in Kats room
We walked cautiously into the pitch black room, and looked pityingly at the heap of what was once a girl sat in the corner. Kats was rocking clutching her bible and murmuring "Nice bible, nice bible"
"Awww look what your done now Wolvie" Jubilee angrily remonstrated Wolverine before walking over to Kat and giving her a hug
"Yeah look now she's broken!" Mel added
Half an hour later still in Kats room
We had sat in Kats room for 20 minutes before she began to show the true nature of her possession, which we under no doubts it was, when she began to rant incessantly for 10 minutes on the dangers of Dihydrous Monoxide a word before she would not have even have been able to spell.
After 10 minutes of listening to her babble on Mel tried to gently point out that Dihydrous Monoxide was infact water. Kats reaction to this was less then encouraging as she laughed manically (even demonically) for another five minutes
"Sure that's what they *WANT* you to think" She exclaimed before laughing again at our naïveté.
"That's it I'm going to call Kurt" Evelyn spoke for the first time
"What the hell for?" Logan demanded
"Well there's something clearly wrong with her and it seems an exorcism is our only hope?"
"Ev you stay here I'll run down and fetch Kurt myself" Mel said getting up and running out of the room before anyone could reply.
Hhhhmmmm…something strange was definitely going on here.
5 minutes later
"I just hope we have caught it in time" Kurt said brandishing his crucifix.
"Don't worry Father Wagner if any one can do this its you!" Mel said sweetly.
"This is the biggest load of bull…" Wolverine started
"Yeah you would say that after you pushed her over the edge mister" Jubilee said shoving her finger into his muscular chest "Well you can stay and help deal with the consequences…or else"
That shut him up.
10 minutes later
"Nothing ve do seems to be vurking" Kurt commented with a sigh
"Well we can't just give up" Ev said "After all who we will laugh at if Kats stays like this?"
Snickt Wolverine was getting mad again "What the hell are you lot on about? Cant you see this is some kind of set up?"
I was about to reply with a scathing comment but it died on my lips as a high pitched scream left Kats mouth "NNNooooooo!! Anything but that, Anything but that! Masters upset, must get preciousssss!" A Gollum like voice seemed to come from Kat but her lips did not move
Wolverine looked worried
"Go on shout some more" Jubes prodded him
"Ummm…Evil creature be gone…"he looked around self consciously "Or I'll cut yer out"
"Anything the master wantsssss…must not anger the massster," the Gollum voice suddenly changed into the voice of Arnold Swazzeneger in the Terminator "but I'll be back"
An hour later
"I'm glad that's all over with" I said sitting back in the now stained new sofa, popping my can open
"Tell me about it!" Kat replied "But hey I least I got to catch up with my sleep"
"Sure so you don't remember anything?"
"Nope"
At that moment Evelyn burst through the door all hot, sweaty and breathless
"Has anyone seen a bald, naked Tibetan man come through here wearing a Stetson and carrying a hundred dollar bill"
We shook our heads puzzled
Evelyn then ran out of the room swearing loudly.
"!?"
