The day after the battle with the Brotherhood, the X-Men woke up and got ready for school as usual. Logan mercifully spared them of their morning training session since they had 'extra credit' the night before. Naddie drug herself to school, still limping because of a twisted ankle caused by the fight. Kurt insisted on carrying her books for her.
"You're hurt, liebchen. Let me get your books for you," he said, trying to take her bookbag from her. Naddie tried to insist she was fine. She was actually very embarrassed at having a limp after one fight, and Kurt playing mother over her wasn't helping much, but she finally gave in before Kurt offered to carry HER to school rather than just her books.
"Good," Kurt said when she finally surrendered her bookbag. "No sense in putting more weight on your foot than necessary."
Naddie sighed and limped towards her first period with Kurt trailing behind her. Kurt was so sweet to take care of her like this! "Wow, I wonder what would happen if I were hurt worse than this!" she thought.
------------------------------------------
At lunch, the X-Men all sat at their usual table and were having a good time talking and laughing together when they were suddenly interrupted by the Brotherhood.
"Hey, Kimmie!" Lance jeered as he walked up. "Guess who I saw the other night?"
"Oh, do TELL me, Lance, the anticipation is KILLING me," Kim said dramatically. Lance looked angry but continued.
"The name 'Drakken' ring a bell?" He asked.
"Drakken's HERE?" Kim asked, astonished. Lance grinned at her surprise.
"Yea, he and that tough chick Shego broke in last night. Mystique and Shego had it out like you wouldn't believe, and in the end, Mystique offered Shego a job!" Kim couldn't believe it. Shego working for the Brotherhood now? How weird can this get?
"What about Drakken?" Kim asked.
"Mystique kicked him out this morning!" Lance laughed. "Poor guy looked like he was about to start crying! He begged Shego, but she just turned away. She did look just a bit hesitant to leave him out there though. I think the other guys sent him to your professor. Ha, that's a laugh. The old geezer will probably let the blue guy in anyway, he's so soft!" At this, everyone bristled. Kurt and Naddie jumped up, as if offering a fight right there. Scott put a hand up to his glasses threateningly.
"DON'T insult Professor Xavier, Lance!" Kim said through clenched teeth.
"What? Look at this, you haven't been here a week and you're already in love with the guy!" Lance said incredulously.
"He took us in! He didn't have to! He's kind and you have no reason to insult him," Kim said raising her voice.
"Sheesh, Kim, don't have a cow! Ha, I'll see you later, Kimmie," He leaned in and made a puppy face at her, but she didn't really feel like talking to him right now. She shoved him away and continued her lunch with the others.
------------------------------------------
At the Brotherhood boarding house, Shego was having second thoughts about throwing Drakken out so quickly.
"He's really a big sissy, you know," she explained to Mystique. "Think he'll be alright out there without me?"
"My boys sent him over to Xavier's, I believe. The old man won't let anything happen to him."
"Ok, good," Shego said. "Not that I care!" she added quickly. Shego went on to explain as best as she could exactly how they got here and what little she knew about Drakken's invention.
"So, how will I get back?" Shego asked. "Drakken's the one who built it. Did we just throw out the one person who can get me back home?!"
"Calm down, Shego, I've already considered that. The professor has scientist friends and I'm sure they're already on it, and now that Drakken is with the professor, he can help build it too. I'll have my boys keep an eye out, and when they finish building the dimension machine, we'll simply go over there and take it!
"Brilliant, Mystique," Shego praised.
"I know," Mystique sighed happily.

At the end of the school day, Logan drove to the school to pick up some of the kids since there was still not enough room for everyone in Scott's car. Kurt, Ron, and Naddie ended up in Logan's car. Logan acted as if he wanted to tell them something but couldn't. When they got home, the professor called them all into the library.
"I have an announcement to make," he began. "this morning after all of you left for school, a man came to me for help. I think some of you may know him." Kim remembered suddenly about what Lance had said about sending Drakken to the professor. She hadn't even noticed before because of Lance insulting the professor, but now, was Drakken really HERE?
The professor nodded to Ororo standing next to him, and she walked over to a door and opened it. There stood Drakken.
"This is Dr. Drakken," the professor said. "He will be staying with us for awhile."
))) Aaah! Hehe. I couldn't figure out what to do with Drakken, so I thought what would he do? He'd go to the professor! So now Drakken has to be all nice to Kim. Ha ha ha. This should be interesting. (((
