Aftermath
Brian leaned against the doorway of the danger room, and stared at Scott as he walked towards him. "So, Scott. What'd you think?" Brian smirked, crossing his arms.
Scott stopped, and looked at him. "You're sister's crazy." He snapped.
Brian laughed, "No, you just don't know how to get around her! What I learned as a child, was to not get in her way when she's fighting. I learned that the hard way."
Scott leaned on his back foot, and stared at Brian. "Oh and where'd she learn to do all that, Brian?"
Brian shook his head, "You still don't believe the fact that we're twins, huh?"
"You guys don't give me any reason to. Come on, Brian. Tell me your story." Scott snapped.
Brian stood up straight, and walked closer to him. "The only thing I'll tell you is; is that Betsy's body just happened to have been reformed. The rest is none of your damn business!"
Brian turned around, and walked back into the mansion.
Elizabeth walked into the recreational room, and saw Kitty, Kurt, Gambit, and Peter playing a game of pool. She stopped, as she stared at them. "Hi, Elizabeth!" Kitty smiled.
Elizabeth smiled, and walked to sit on the couch. Peter stared at her, and then turned back to his game. "So, Elizabeth, you had a taste of the danger room yet?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah, I just got out of an exercise with Scott." She sighed, as she laid her head back over the arm of the couch.
"You went against Scott today?" Peter asked.
Elizabeth looked at him. She nodded, "Yeah, so?"
"No wonder why he was so pissed off! Did you beat him silly or something?" Peter asked.
Elizabeth shrugged. "Yeah, I guess so."
Elizabeth saw Rogue walk into the room. Rogue sat next to her on the couch. "Brian told me what you did to Scott!" Rogue grinned.
Elizabeth laughed, "Yeah? What did my beloved twin tell you?"
Rogue began to laugh. "Apparently you beat up Scott pretty good!"
Elizabeth smirked. "You should have seen it, Rogue. I've never seen someone so frustrated with me! Well, except for-", Elizabeth paused.
Rogue looked at her. "Oh; never mind." Elizabeth smiled.
Evan flew into the room on his skateboard. "Evan, stop skating in the house!" Kitty snapped.
Evan grinned, and then, flew off of his skateboard as it came to an abrupt halt. He hit the wall on the other side of the room, and spikes immediately flew out of his arms. The students ducked as spikes flew at them. They posted into the walls behind them. Evan looked at the others in the room, as they looked at him angrily. He let out a nervous laugh. "Heh, whoops!" He laughed.
"That's it, mon' ami! You've just had your last straw!" Remy snapped.
Remy rushed towards Evan, and Evan scrambled to his feet. Evan dodged Remy, and ran out of the room. Remy chased after him, "There's no use running, man! Get back over here!"
Elizabeth's mouth dropped, and she looked at Rogue. "He always does things like that!" Rogue snapped.
"What was that?" Elizabeth asked.
"Evan's body retracts bone like spikes. Sometimes he can't control it." Rogue sighed.
Jean walked into the room with the phone in her hand. "Peter, Tara's on the phone for you." Jean said.
Peter grabbed the phone from her hand. He answered the phone. Jean saw Elizabeth sitting next to Rogue on the couch. She smiled, and walked to them. "Hey girls!" Jean smiled.
"Hi, Jean." Elizabeth smiled.
"So, you had a good time in that danger room?" Jean asked.
Elizabeth shrugged, "It was okay."
"It gets better, Betsy." Rogue smirked.
"I hope so. I need some kind of action around here." Elizabeth sighed.
"Hey, you guys. Tara and I are heading to the club tonight. There's a really cool band playing, you guys want to go?" Peter asked them.
"Sure!" Jean smiled.
"Yeah, I'm so down to go!" Kitty smiled.
"I'll stay here." Elizabeth sighed.
"Elizabeth, why won't you go?" Kurt asked.
Elizabeth stared at him. "I don't really care too much for Peter's damsel!"
"I'm stayin' here too. Ya'all could go and see your precious little friends. I don't do too well in crowds anyway." Rogue sighed.
Brian peeked out from behind a tree outside, and smiled as he saw Elizabeth walking towards the fountain pond in the center of the circular driveway. He flew towards her, and grabbed her from behind. "What's your angle, Lizard?" He laughed.
Elizabeth smiled, and threw her leg up and kicked him in the face. He let go of her, and she turned around. "Bring it on!" Elizabeth smirked.
Brian pounced on her, and they wrestled on the ground. Brian rolled her over onto her back, and he grabbed her neck. "Ready to quit?" Brian grinned.
Elizabeth laughed, "No!"
She closed her eyes, and stunned his mind with her telepathy. He grabbed the sides of his head, and the pain eased as he rolled off of her. He shook his head, and looked at her. He stood up, and she jumped on his back. He grinned, and flew up into the air, with her on his back. "Brian! Let me down!" Elizabeth panicked.
Brian grabbed onto his sister's arms. "Don't worry, Betsy! I'm not going to drop you!" He laughed.
"No, Brian, I mean it! Put me down!" Elizabeth shrieked.
"Betsy, don't-", Brian stopped, as Elizabeth lost her grip.
Elizabeth screamed, as she fell towards the ground. Brian flew down towards her. Logan jumped up, and caught Elizabeth in his arms before she could hit the ground. He landed on his feet. Elizabeth looked up at him, "Oh, hi Logan!" She smiled.
"Just what do you two think you were doing?" Logan snapped.
"We were just playing, Logan." Brian said, as he landed on his feet.
"Well, you could have hurt yourselves!" Logan snapped.
Brian sighed, and turned back to walk towards the mansion. "Logan, you can put me down now." Elizabeth sighed.
"Oh. Right." Logan stuttered.
Logan let Elizabeth down. She looked at him, and a smile formed on her face. "Thanks, Logan."
Elizabeth turned around, and walked back towards the mansion. Logan shook his head, and sighed. He stared after Elizabeth, as she walked towards the mansion.
Brian walked into Charles' office. "You wanted to see me, Professor?" Brian asked.
Charles turned around. "Yes, Brian; please, come in." He smiled.
Brian walked into the office, and sat in the chair in front of Charles' desk. "I'm sensing some friction between you and Scott." Charles began.
Brian sighed. "Professor, I don't know what's wrong with him. He's been pretty nosey about our past. Betsy's not really easily trusting person to let people know about something that personal. Well; she told Rogue about it, but not anyone else."
Charles sighed, "Brian, I would like for all of you to at least be able to work together as a team. I can understand your frustration, and wanting to keep Elizabeth's past a secret. But, you have to understand that all of us here have our own secrets; secrets we all know and keep within these walls."
"Well, Professor, I understand what you're saying, but, it's up to Betsy to tell about her past or not." Brian sighed.
Charles stopped, and looked at the monitor on his desk. He saw Elizabeth and Rogue walking towards the gym room. He looked back at Brian. "I will speak with Scott when he comes back home." Charles smiled.
Brian nodded, and stood up.
Brian leaned against the doorway of the danger room, and stared at Scott as he walked towards him. "So, Scott. What'd you think?" Brian smirked, crossing his arms.
Scott stopped, and looked at him. "You're sister's crazy." He snapped.
