Family Secrets Revealed

"What is this? Some kind of weirdo convention?" Mr. Sefton shouted.

"YOU!" Rogue shouted. "I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!"

"This ladies and gentlemen is Mystique," Pietro said. "We've told them all about you."

"I can imagine," Mystique growled. She glared at Xi. "I am really beginning to despise you."

"I'm not exactly thrilled with you either," Matt glared at her. "You hid a son from me all these years."

"Excuse me?" Mystique glared. "It's because of you I ended up losing a wealthy suitor! And worse! I ended up pregnant!"

"Oh thanks a lot," Kurt muttered.

"I didn't mean it like that!" Mystique groaned.

"Yes you did!" Rogue snapped. "What are you doing here?"

"Looking for that rat Zartan," Mystique snarled. "He stole something from me and I want it back."

"If you mean your virginity you lost that years ago," Fred snickered.

"Good one!" Lance grinned giving Fred a high five.

"Do you mind?" Kurt snarled. "That is my mother you are talking about!"

"Who also slept with Zartan by the way," Pietro said. "I'll think she'll sleep with anyone."

"I think you're right," Wanda remarked. "She slept with Sabertooth."

"Who's?…" Mrs. Sefton began.

"Don't ask!" Rogue groaned. "Thanks a lot! That's another painful family secret you brought to light!"

"You have no idea how painful," Mystique said. "When I saw this loser here looking for Zartan I figured by hanging on to him I could find him! Instead I find my son in the company of…that human!" She pointed at Amanda.

"WAIT A MINUTE!" Mrs. Sefton stood up and got in Mystique's face. "Are you saying that your offspring isn't good enough for my daughter?"

"Bingo Bimbo!" Mystique snapped.

"Bimbo? Have you seen the way you're dressed, or should I say not dressed?" Mrs. Sefton snapped.

"It's called fashion sweetheart," Mystique snapped.

"Uh should we be taking down Mystique about now?" Fred asked.

"In a minute," Spirit said. "This is getting interesting."

"You have definitely been hanging around the kids watching television for too long Spirit," Ororo grumbled.

"I will not have my son association with a worthless human tramp if I can help it!" Mystique snapped.

"Excuse me?" Mrs. Sefton snarled. "Excuse me! You have the gall to insinuate that your genetically mutated misfit of a son is better than my daughter?"

"I'm not insinuating anything, I'm telling it right to your face you cow!" Mystique snarled.

"COW? YOU DARE CALL ME A COW?" Mrs. Sefton shouted. "THAT'S IT!" She raised her hands and they started to glow brightly. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!"

"Uh…Mom…" Amanda gulped.

"Ooh I'm so scared! What are you going to…do?" Mystique gulped as she finally noticed Mrs. Sefton's hands. She sent out a multi-colored blast that sent Mystique flying into the wall. "Ow…" She passed out.

Everyone's jaw dropped. "Okay that was unexpected," Todd gulped.

"Mom?" Amanda gasped. "Are you a mutant?"

"No honey," Mrs. Sefton sighed. "I'm a sorceress."

"A what?" Mr. Sefton blinked.

"She said she was a…" Todd started to say.

"I HEARD WHAT SHE SAID!" Mr. Sefton shouted. "How? When?"

"Ever since I was a little girl," Mrs. Sefton sighed. "But I wanted to live a normal life with my family. I wanted you to have a normal life Amanda. That's why I was so adamant about you not dating Kurt because he was a mutant."

"But being a mutant is normal," Ororo said.

"Since when?" Lance asked her. He yelped as Ororo kicked him under the table.

"How could you not tell me this?" Amanda gasped.

"YOU WHAT ABOUT ME? I'M YOUR FREAKING HUSBAND HERE?" Mr. Sefton shouted.

"I mostly gave it up just as I met you," Mrs. Sefton sighed.

"Mostly gave it up?" Mr. Sefton asked. "Mostly? You mean you've been doing magic behind my back all this time? Like what? Name one instance! Right now?"

"Do you remember that very obnoxious guy you used to be competitive with back when you were starting out at work?" Mrs. Sefton sighed.

"Yeah George Hannover," Mr. Sefton said. "Hey isn't that the guy who tried to hit on you at the Christmas party?"

"Yeah and do you remember the next week that he left the firm and everybody thought he moved away?" Mrs. Sefton asked. "He moved all right. I kind of helped him."

"And where did you help him move?" Mr. Sefton asked.

"The Bayville aquarium," Mrs. Sefton confessed. "You remember when we went that day when Amanda was young and that huge octopus somehow managed to get out of his tank and attack you?"

"That was him?" Mr. Sefton gasped. "I thought that grip seemed familiar. Cold, clammy wet…"

"But I don't do that anymore I swear!" Mrs. Sefton said. "Change people into animals I mean."

"Lucky for me," Kurt gulped.

"Well for god's sake boy," Margali looked at him. "I think your present form is unlucky enough! There was nothing I could ever do to make it a punishment anyway!"

"Oh well that makes me feel better!" Kurt moaned.

"What else?" Mr. Sefton asked.

"Well let's just say there's a reason that Amanda never needed braces," Mrs. Sefton gulped. "Think of all the doctor bills I saved for you as well."

"You've been using your magic on us in order to keep us healthy?" Amanda gasped. "How could you not tell us this?"

"This is not happening…" Mr. Sefton sat down again. "Somebody please tell me this is not happening…"

"I'm afraid it is," The waiter had unlocked the door and was now pointing a gun at them.

"Oh man the service here really stinks," Todd grumbled.

"That's not all that stinks," He said as he pulled off his mask with his free hand. "But this is rather convenient for me. All my major enemies in one spot."

"ZARTAN!" All the Misfits shouted.

"Oh lord…" Xavier sighed. "It's official, this dinner has officially gone to hell."

Are you ready for the fun that's about to come? Here we go…
