Chapter 20 - There's no place like home.

"I can't believe she picked that bald-headed, hissing freak!".
"Oh, Warren, let it go!", snapped Hank, "Caliban was JUST as shocked as you were, believe me!".
"He'd better look after her, or i'll...i'lll...".
"You'll what?", said Mystique sarcastically, "you'll FLY at him?".
It was the next day since the 'Aligator Incident' and everyone was packing the X-Van to head home. Forge had built himself a make-shift prosthetic limb to suffice until he could get home and build himself a proper one. Though he had muttered it would never be the same again, stupid Logan. Shannon had given Hank her phone number, so he could call for another not-a- date after he got home. Sabertooth, by some miracle, had managed to convince Magneto that the Acolytes REALLY needed a pet. It wasn't until he was putting Rabid into the X-Van that Magneto realised exactly WHAT kind of pet Sabertooth had in mind.
"FOOOORRRRGGGEEYYY!".
"Think she saw me?", asked Forge with a sigh as Amber ran over to him, giving him a hug.
"I 'll be vistiting Bayville REEEEAAAL soon to say HI!", said Amber.
"Lucky me"
Amber laughed, giving him a punch in the shoulder.
"I'll miss you, you cooky inventor, you!".
"Yeah...bye Amber", said Forge, leaping into the X-Van and closing the door.

After a few hours, the X-Van was making it's way to Bayville. Rabid had curled up on Sabertooth's knee. Of course, she was half on him and half across Magneto's knees, as she was too big.
"Yeah...this is how i thought i would travel", muttered Magento, as Rabid slept happily.
"Think what she'll do fer the headquarters", he said, "shell keep those rowdy teenagers in line".
"Before Pyro sets her tail on fire", muttered Jason from behind the wheel.
"Shhhhhh!!!", said Sabertooth, putting his hands over Rabid's ears, "she'll hear you!".
"Again, i must ask myself whatever i saw in him", said Mystique, shaking her head.
"Because when you were younger you were desperate for a back-up?", said Sabertooth, a smirk on his face.
"A backup?", asked Warren, cocking his head to the side.
"Yeah the whole 'if your not married by the time your 40, you marry each other' deal", said Jason.
Forge raised a hand.
"I only have four years left though...kinda pointless, isn't it?".
"I'm already 40", said Hank sadly.
"I'm over one hundred", said Logan.
"Ditto" said Sabertooth.
"I won't lie about my age", said Mystique, then fell silent.
"You're all ooooollld", sang Warren
"We're home", said Storm suddenly.
Indeed, the X-Van pulled into the Institute's driveway.
"Well....it's still standing", pointed out Hank.
Indeed, the Mansion WAS still standing, though Xvaier had to wonder...did it ALWAYS lean slightly to the right? As the X-Van pulled up to a stop, the students crept out, big 'we were incocent the whole time' smiles on their faces. Which meant something must have gone wrong. Xavier noted that Scott was wearing a full body-cast, and was being wheeled out on a trolley by Sam, who was wearing a patch over his left eye. Other than that, everyone looked....reasonably healthy. Those damn smiles were so very unerving though.
"Welcome back!", said Jean cheerfully...a little TOO cheerfully, "did you all have a good time?".
"It was a living hell", said Logan, climbing out of the van and stalking into the house, "i need to get drunk!".
Magneto, Jason and Sabertooth stepped out to see Remy with an equally disturbing big grin on his face. Piotr, on the other hand was twitching slightly and Pyro was looking at the ground, a small sad sigh escaping from him now and again.
"Let's go home", said Magneto, before whispering to Xavier, "they haven't been THIS quiet for a long time...errr good luck".
With that, a couple of metal orbs appeared out of the bushes....for some reason with pink gophers painted on them and landed in front of the Acolytes, opening up. Magneto was quick to usher his team into their orbs and get away super fast.
"I'm going home to count my money", said Warren sadly, "hey, maybe i have enough to start a Aligator sanctuary. I'll call it 'Cookie's Cove'. Yeah!".
Talking to himself of the great joy Cookie's Cove could bring to the world, Warren took to the air, heading towards home. Hank muttered something about calling his not-a-girlfriend and walked into the house. Xavier blinked, they were all deserting him.
"You two are forbiden to leave", he said quickly to Storm and Forge.
"I'm not an X-Man, you can't tell me what to doooooo", said Forge blowing a rasberry, "i'm getting out of this wiggy head-trip before anything else happens to me".
With that, he headed over to the garage to find his beloved Pick-Up Truck. Storm glanced at Xavier, and then the students.
"You know...i really should check on my plants....".
Without another word, she ran inside the Mansion as fast as her legs could carry her. Xavier sighed, glancing back at his still-grinning students.
"So...what did you do while we were away?", he asked, dreading the answer.
"Oh...just.....stuff", said Kurt.
"Yeah", said Ray, nodding quickly, "but not bad stuff. No bad stuff happened here".
"HEY, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK??!!!!".
Kitty winced as Forge's voice came from the garage.
"Well....except that".
"MY PLANTS!!!".
"And that", said Rogue.
"WHERE THE HELL IS ALL MY BEER!!!".
"Oh..yeah", said Tabby with a nervous chuckle, "forgot about that".
Xavier took a heavy sigh.
"Note to self, never EVER leave my home in the care of teenagers ever ever again".
*****
And we're done! How did you like? Look out for the tie-in fic 'When the Adults are away' when i return from my holiday. I should be able to get one more chapter of Mutants Make Good Cowboys before i leave. Please, do review. Nice to have had you aboard for this insane journey.
