Retribution X: Whinging Midgets and Halloween

"You did what?" I stared at the bald man angrily

"I volunteered for you to take the younger members of the academy trick or treating and hold a party for them afterwards!"

I paused "Do you really think this is a good idea? I wouldn't let Kat near them if I was you she frightening enough at our age but she'd give little kids nightmares!"

"Surely that is the intention of Halloween?"

"Great I'd rather fight Magneto then look after them unruly brats! In fact I'd rather be buried for life under Scuzzlebutt poo with Kat for the rest of my life!!" I glowered "and you expect me to go back to the wing and inform my team mates, many of whom are mentally unstable, of your little plan!"

"Yes I do you are there leader!"

I sighed "Okay but I will not be held responsible for anyone's reactions especially not Kats or Wolverines!" I said backing out of the room

Retribution X's wing

"So you want us to take those whinging midgets?" Kat asked which was kind of hypocritical of her after all we'd be taking her too.

"The children? Yes" I sighed sadly

"What the hell does he think he's doing snickt I think it's time a bit of adamantium taught him that he doesn't mess with the Wolverine and get away with it!" He said charging out of the room.

"MMmm...he took that better then I thought" I said

"I don't know what's wrong with you guy's I think it'll be fun! Think of all the candy!" Jubes said gleefully.

I don't know if I've ever mentioned that to me eating is a chore not something to be made fun so this idea did not appeal to me at all.

"We get to dress up!!" Kat remembered clapping her hand's together

I groaned I'd forgotten about that, I hated dressing up, in fact being English I really failed to see the point in Halloween, I saw it as glorified begging. But hell, this was the closest thing to a mission we'd had a whiff of in ages and this was certainly going to be quite difficult. Hopefully nothing we couldn't handle though.

Halloween

"Argh! Scott take off the mask!!!" I said jumping

"I haven't got one on!"

 Kat tugged at Scott's double chin

"It's his face" she said when no mask came off

"Oh!" I said surprised "Have you had botox?" I smiled winningly

"Ohh Jean you've come as Gwyneth Paltrow…." I looked at Jean "…in 'Shallow Hal' …" I looked at the irate look on Jeans face "…or not!"

"What are you going as?" Scott asked both me and Kat

"Well I'm going to go as the scariest thing I know!" I said

"Ditto!" Kat grinned

An hour later

I walked down the stairs carrying 6 forks (Prof X removed all of our knives for Kats protection).

"I told you I was coming as the scariest thing I know!" I said as everyone stopped and stared at me adorned in my stolen Wolverine costume that was much too big for skinny little me.

I looked at Kat, I had feared that the age old Chitty Chitty Bang Bang outfit would get an airing however Kat had surpassed herself by coming dressed as a ladder (the thing she was more scared of then Wolverine, it was a  toss up between that and sinks though). Evelyn and Jubes had come as a cigarette and a lighter respectively, people joked that Wolverine would try to smoke Ev before the night had ended.  Mel had come dressed as a painting complete with frame and was currently trying to fit through the door with Beast (who'd come as a Twinkie and Murray mint monster…at least I hoped he was meant to look like that) giving her a helpful shove.

I looked around to scout out Wolverine and see both what he thought of my costume and what he was wearing…but he was no where to be seen.

"Do I scare ya that much kid?" came a voice close to my ear so close I could feel his breath on my neck

"No you're a pussy cat really!" I said turning around to look at him as he mock purred "So you came as a cowboy then?"

His purr turned quickly into a growl "Oh!" I said with insight "It's one of those times when you haven't actually changed into a costume and I've put my foot in it isn't it?"

He nodded before looking down at the forks I was brandishing between my fingers menacingly (well as menacingly as forks between the fingers can look).

"Humph! Where forks the best ya could do?" He asked quietly

"Short of ripping your claws out…yes" I said giving him a playful grin.

"Well I want you to look after yourself tonight I'll be here in the party with my com device on if you need anything!"

"So your leaving me with the responsibility of the X-Brats and Kat…that's harsh what did I do to upset you that much?" I never usually back chatted Wolverine but I wanted this evening over with a.s.a.p and if it had to end through my death… well so be it. "Or are you scared of a few lil' runts?" I teased

"Just get goin' kid" but he didn't say it angrily

I walked over to where the girls where chatting clutching there drinks for dear life, downing them for Dutch courage.

"You ready to be lead to your death?" I asked them

"Death by chocolate" Jubes giggled

I rolled my eyes into my head 'and these were the mature ones?!' I thought grimly
