Chapter 5

"Today you are going to have to work as a team," Logan said as the six teens groaned. "This session requires it. And I'm really sorry for the way I acted yesterday. It's a personal thing." Everyone rolled their eyes at Logan's words. "Today, we're going to play soccer. Who wants to be captains?"

Rogue, Kitty, and Jean formed one team; Kurt, Evan, and Scott formed another one. "Suite yourselves," Logan said in his gruff voice as he threw the soccer ball on the field. It was an ice ball that iceman built.

"Your goal is to keep this ball in tact. You cannot hurt it. You have to take it home safely," Beast stated converting his eyes towards the goal. He went over to stand next to Storm and Professor Xavier. Logan should be able to handle this one. "Which ever team puts it in the goal wins."

"This is pathetic and meaningless," Jean said as she made no eye contact with Scott.

"This is to help you control your powers' density. You cannot over due it," Beast said as Logan nodded.

Jean shrugged. She put her sneaker on the ball to hold it back from anyone taking it. She kicked it lightly over to Rogue ignoring Kitty and giving Rogue a cold stare. Rogue knitted her eyebrows and looked away. Scott came in and took the ball from Rogue who allowed him to because she felt bad about last night.

"Rogue! Don't let him take it!" Jean shrieked as Scott gave her a glance. She was being so mean to him when she should be mad at the 'FBI detectives'.

Jean put her hands up to her head and moved the ball towards her. She was going to be the one to do this. She couldn't let Scott win it. He didn't deserve this. Neither did the others. "JEAN!" Scott yelled half-way up in the air. Jean looked towards him and gasped. She didn't mean to do that so she dropped him on his butt. "Ouch!" Scott said rubbing his behind with pain. Jean looked away.

Kurt ran to the ball and put it in-between his ankles. He teleported next to the goal. "Kurt! Like you cheater," Kitty screamed.

Kurt knitted his eyebrows and picked the ball off the ground.

"Nightcrawler!" Logan yelled roughly. "You can't touch the ball with your hands. This is soccer not football!"

"In Europe it's football!" Kurt said as he threw the ball at Kitty's back. Kitty turned around just in time to phase through. The ball landed on the ground with a crash. Ice particles were scattered everywhere.

"Kurt, man," Evan yelled. "You have to ruin everything!"

"Actually, it was Kitty's fault," Rogue said as she pointed at her teammate.

"What?!" Kitty said.

"If you had been paying attention Evan..." Kurt started.

"Me?" Evan screamed.

"KIDS!" Logan yelled. As loud as his sound was, the kids didn't want to hear it. "That's it, I'm going in there."

"Logan no," Storm stated.

"I have to," Logan said as he heard the screaming of the kids.

"Ororo's right," Professor Xavier said.

"Charles..." Logan started.

"They have to learn how to work these things out by themselves," Charles said.

Jean looked at the four teens fighting about nonsense. She ignored them and walked over to Scott who had his eyes wide open with concern. It seemed as if he actually cared about her.

"If you have a hard time expressing your feelings, then you shouldn't even be in a relationship," Jean yelled as Scott looked confused. "It's not funny to toy with girls' emotions and make her thing that you really cared about her."

"Huh?" Scott asked as he knitted his eyebrows together. "Jean, I do...."

"Save it for some other vulnerable girl Scott," Jean said running towards the mansion.

"Jean! Wait!" Scott exclaimed. He had no idea why she would think that he didn't want to be in a real relationship with her. He cared about her more than anything in the world. He had a hard time trying to tell her that but it was pretty obvious. It's not as if he had ruined the date. His forehead formed with wrinkle lines as he thought back to yesterday. The last thing I remember is her telling me that she loved me. Scott's eyes widened as he smacked his head. How could he have been so stupid. He loved Jean Grey more than anything in the world. Even more than he loved this institute and everything in it. More than he loved to show the Brotherhood that they don't have to fight.

He loved her and he had to tell her that. But it's too late now. She wouldn't want to listen.

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

It was Monday afternoon at the Brotherhood house. The house was messy and unclean and Pietro, Blob, Lance, and Toad were doing as they pleased. It had been a usual day at school. A fiasco with the X-men would usually come up, but today it had seemed as if they weren't even there. They came out from all corners, but alone.

"Hello boys," a slender, tall, blue woman said with a sly voice as she broke the door down.

"What do you want Mystique?" Lance asked as he all the guys made a small group. Mystique was sort of like their leader. She would inform them on what they needed to do, especially if it involved the X-men.

"This is the perfect time to strike the X-men," she started as they all had blank expressions on their faces.

"Why is that Mystique?" Lance questioned as the rest looked interested. They were always up to a fight with the X-men. Except for Lance. Sometimes he would protest against some crucial ideas because he cared about one of the X-men. Kitty. He likes her so much and couldn't bare to see her hurt. They went out a few times, but nothing exclusive. One time he even tried joining them and ended up saving the day. It was too much for him to handle but it was kind of fun. He wouldn't mind doing it again, especially if he could be near Kitty.

"I heard that they had a huge fight with each other," Mystique stated.

"I-bet-you-are-telling-us-this-to-want-us-to-fight-them-and-thenwegetourbuttskickedbecauseyouwere-wrong," Pietro said as he circled Mystique in a very fast pace.

"Haven't you notice them not hanging out together in school?" Mystique said as she rolled her eyes at Pietro. "This is the perfect opportunity to attack, when they least expect it."

"Count me out," Lance said as he turned to walk away.

"Lance," Toad croaked as Blob blocked him from leaving with his huge stomach.

"Lancebuddy," Pietro said, putting his arm around his friend's neck. "We can't do it alone." Lance looked at Pietro and smiled.

"Let's do it," Lance said.

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

It was quiet driving from school back to the mansion in Scott's red convertible. "I could've taken the bus you know," Kitty said as she folded her arms across her chest and looked at the green scenery.

"Yeah, you could've," Rogue said bitterly as Kitty avoided eye contact with her.

"You could've taken Evan along vith you too," Kurt said as he shook his head in disbelief.

"Why don't all of you take the bus and I take the car," Jean said with wrinkles on her forehead. "After all, Scott does owe me."

Scott looked at Jean, Kitty, and the three in the back seat. This wasn't right. He had to admit that they had a few arguments, disagreements, and feuds with each other, but over all they were great friends. They were a team and this definitely doesn't back his case up. They were acting so immature. And Jean should know that he loves her even though he didn't say it. He wanted to apologize and say it to her, just not in front of everyone. Scott liked to keep his relationship personal. Everyone didn't need to know about it which is why he was mad at them for spying on their date. But now, they're angry at each other and Jean was angry at him rather than them.

"Fine Kurt," Evan said. "Scott why don't you stop the car right now and I'll use my skateboard as transportation."

"No one is going anywhere," Scott said as the car came to a stop without him putting his foot on the breaks. What? Scott thought with concern.

"You got that right," a loud but obnoxious voice spoke. Blob was holding the car back with his enormous belly as Scott was pressing on the gas pedal.

"What do you want Blob?" Jean asked as she put her hands on her hips. She knew Blob was as stubborn as possible based on an experience she had with him. She had welcomed him, unlike others, when he first came to Bayville High. He had thought that she was only to be his friend. When she protested against that, he took action and tied her up in a far away cabin. Thankfully, she was saved.

Suddenly a loud, rocky noise came from behind. It was Lance. The empty road cracked open. Good thing they took an inner road so they could fight without anyone around. The Brotherhood and the X-men were feuding all the time. No one knew why they just came here looking for trouble for absolutely no reason.

"How about a fight?" Toad said as he hopped forward and wrapped the car around his tongue.

Scott shot at Toad with laser beams shooting from his eyes from behind his red sunglasses. Rogue flipped out of the car as they car rolled down the hill and crashed. Jean flew out of the car, Kurt teleported out, Kitty phased threw the car and the road and came out gracefully, and Evan took out his skateboard and hopped on. He continued on his skateboard towards Pietro.

Evan and Pietro always hated each other even before they came here to join the groups. They were both on the same basketball team and they always battled. Before Evan could reach him though, Lance made the ground crack wide open and Evan fell in with Kitty and Rogue. "Hold on," Evan yelled as he threw spikes up the huge hole. Rogue and Kitty rolled their eyes and climbed up after him.

"Scott watch out!" Jean yelled as Scott shot Blob five feet away. Blob got on his feet without any injuries and headed towards Scott again. Jean lifted Scott up on the hill with her powers. Kurt dodged Toad and teleported over to Kitty and Evan to save them from a falling tree Blob had caused.

Rogue was thrown across the road by Toad. She caught his tongue and tied it to a pole with the sign 'stop' on it. Kurt ran over to Blob and teleported him five miles away. He then teleported back. Evan tried to pin Pietro but he was too fast for him. Jean helped him by lifting Pietro up with her powers and throwing him across the hill. Scott fired at Lance but Lance dodged him. He slammed his foot on the ground next to the grassy hill and the hill collapsed. Kurt, Evan, Scott, Rogue, and Jean were buried under the soil. They were unable to get out.

"Lance!" Kitty yelled as she ran over to help her friends. She went through the soil and brought all of them out. Suddenly, a tree tilted and was about to fall on Kitty. Kitty didn't see it behind her so she didn't have time to phase through it.

"Kitty!" Lance yelled as Kurt teleported towards Kitty and teleported her out of the way in time. The tree made a crashing noise on the ground. Lance put his head down and had a chance to bury the X-men when they were grouped together. But he didn't.

He got Toad and Pietro and drove off in their car. "What about them?" Toad asked.

"Let's go find Blob," Lance said.

"But..." Pietro said as Lance cut him off with a evil glare and drove off.

All the X-men started chatting continuously and happily. Then everyone stopped and remembered their fight. Scott sighed. Everything was actually starting to work itself out when they had to stop. Scott tried to break the silence by commenting about the fight. "That Lance is..."

"He didn't mean to. He's a good guy, if you gave him a chance. But your so stubborn Scott," Kitty came in protesting against the dislike of Lance. He was so sweet to her and he would never do anything to hurt her.

"Yeah Scott," Jean said continuing to insult him but on a different matter. "If you thought about other people's feelings for once, no one would get hurt."

"Jean, wait!" Scott yelled as Jean flew off. There was a shortcut to the mansion where no one would see her and Scott presumed she was taking that one. There was only a mile until they reached the mansion. Was he that bad to not be able to sit with in the car for a mile?

"Ah am outta here," Rogue said as she decided to walk to the mansion. Kurt teleported there and Kitty and Evan were quiet the hole trip home.

Scott didn't like the X-men fighting. Especially him and Jean. He wanted to tell her how he really feels, he just doesn't know how.
