More Mayhem in the Mansion

The next morning some very cranky X-Men were sitting down at the table for breakfast. "Scott I said I was sorry I missed Danger Room practice," Kitty said. "But I couldn't leave Lance here alone."

"You gotta admit she has a point," Logan growled. "I don't want that kid running around loose anymore!"

"More Fruit Loops!" Little Lance squealed with delight. He held up a nearly empty bowl.

"Where did you get those?" Kitty blinked. "I swear I can't turn my back on you for one second? What was wrong with your porridge?"

"Porridge is yucky," Little Lance made a face.

"It is not!" Kitty told him. "It's good for you. Do you have any idea what's in this stuff? The sugar alone is enough to rot half the teeth in your head!"

"Sugar?" Hank gulped.

"But I like sugar!" Little Lance squealed. "It makes me happy!" The ground shook in testament to his happiness.

"WHO FED THE KID SUGAR?" Logan shouted.

"He did!" Kurt pointed to Ray. "I saw him do it!"

"Hey you also gave him a powdered doughnut!" Ray snapped. "And I saw him sipping on some Pixie Sticks Forge had!"

"Pixie Sticks!" Scott yelled.

"You gave a five year old pixie sticks?" Jean yelled.

"I didn't give him any! He swiped them from my back pocket!" Forge defended.

"What were you doing with Pixie Sticks anyway?" Rogue asked.

"Hey they're a great pick me up," Forge shrugged.

"Oh it's gonna be a long day!" Logan groaned. "When's Charles getting back?"

"Late this evening," Hank sighed. He then noticed that Lockheed was scampering on the table, sampling some of his food. "Lockheed! Down!"

"There's another one of Kitty's little disasters," Kurt grumbled. "Lockheed get away from my food!" He put the dragon down on the floor. "And don't give me a hotfoot!"

"Here dragon!" Little Lance said happily, holding a piece of bacon for Lockheed. Happily Lockheed romped over and ate it. "Good boy!"

"Lance don't feed Lockheed table scraps!" Kitty said. "Now leave the table and wash your hands."

"Okay!" Little Lance hopped down off his chair. "Come on boy!" Lockheed followed him out.

"Kitty we have to do something," Scott said. "He's only been here one day and Avalanche Junior is already causing havoc on the mansion. Not to mention disrupting your life."

"Yeah that's something I want to talk about," Kitty fidgeted. "I need to finish up some homework as well as some other programs the Professor wanted me to work on while he was gone. Would you guys mind playing with him until I'm finished?"

"Are you out of your mind?" Kurt asked.

"Of course we will," Peter said.

"We will?" Kurt asked.

"Yes we will," Peter grinned. He looked at the other boys. "I think it would be a good idea to spend some time with the darling boy. Get in some quality time," He gave a surreptitious wink to the boys without Kitty seeing.

"Oh yeah," Scott got the hint. "Fine. We'll watch him."

"Ya we'll watch the kid," Kurt nodded.

"I think playing with the kid ought to be fun," Remy grinned.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Rogue groaned. "Just what are you boys up to?"

"For crying out loud Rogue you're getting just as paranoid as Scott," Kitty got up from the table.

"All clean!" Little Lance trotted in and showed her his hands. "Can we play now?"

"I need to do some work first," Kitty explained to him. "But you can hang out with the guys for a while. Okay?"

"Don't worry Kitty," Peter grabbed Little Lance and gave him a squeeze. "We know how to take care of him. Come on fellas." They all left.

"Well that's a relief," Kitty sighed as she made her way down the hall. "Now I can get some work done."

"First you have to clean up the bathroom," Hank pointed.

"What?" Kitty looked inside and saw the entire bathroom was a mess. "Oh!" She slapped her hand to her forehead. "LANCE!"

************************************************************************

"Put me down!" Little Lance struggled to get loose of Peter's grip. "Put me down!"

"I don't think so," Peter told him. "Now let's have a little talk shall we?"

"Yeah we know your little game," Remy told him.

"You think you can pull a stunt like that and have Kitty all to yourself huh?" Peter asked. "Well it's time you had a little lesson on how to control those powers of yours."

"What are you gonna do about it?" Little Lance growled.

"This!" Peter put the boy over his knee.

"NO! NO!" The boy squirmed, trying to get free.

"Get in a few good licks for me mon ami," Remy grinned.

"I should have brought a camera," Scott grinned.

"This is going to hurt you a lot more than it's going to hurt me!" Peter raised his hand. "You…YEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!" He jumped in the air just as Lockheed sent a blast of fire right at Peter's behind. He dropped Little Lance and tried to put out the small blaze. "THAT HURTS!"

"Colossus! Switch to armor form!" Remy shouted.

Peter did so. "Ahhh! That's better! What the…?" Even in armor form he blushed a scarlet red when it was revealed that Lockheed had burned a hole right through his pants and underwear, revealing a very sore pair of metal buttocks.

"Talk about buns of steel huh?" Little Lance snickered.

"Why you little…" Peter growled as he advanced on the boy.

"Try it!" Little Lance sent out a tremor. "You're not gonna catch me!"

Peter fell on his backside. "YEOW!" He moaned.

"Get him!" Scott shouted. They started to chase after Little Lance until Lockheed dive-bombed them, spewing fire.

"He and Lockheed have joined forces!" Kurt yelled.

"It's an ambush!" Scott shouted as Lockheed dived right at them. "Oh great! Now the garden's on fire again!"

"Can't catch me!" Little Lance laughed as he ran away.

"Oh yes we will!" Peter got up and shook his fist. "And when I get my hands on you I am going to…"

"Uh Pete," Remy gulped as he looked behind him.

"Not now Gambit," Peter told him. "That little rock tumbler is going to pay for this!"

"Uh maybe you should change pants first," Scott gulped.

"Oh don't mind us," Tabitha grinned. She and Rogue had walked up behind him. "We're admiring the view!"

Immediately Peter used his hands to cover his backside as he whirled around. "Excuse me please," He walked away backwards. "I need to change."

"What's going on out here?" Kitty walked up behind Peter. "PETER WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR PANTS?"

"Uh…Uh…" Peter was now a bright red. "Excuse me Kitty, please!" He ran inside.

"Oh my," Kitty blinked. She turned red as well.

"Well that was a nice view of the full moon," Tabitha snickered.

Meanwhile Little Lance had managed to sneak inside the mansion. "Ha! Those dopes will never catch me! WHOA!" He yelped as a pair of hands grabbed him. "What the heck?"

"Hi there Number 12," Another Little Lance glared at him. "Did you really think you could get away with this?"
