Dessert Anyone?

"HOW COULD YOU LOSE THEM?" Nick Fury shouted at his men.

"Well they both are good at disguising themselves," One muttered weakly. "I mean one's a shapeshifter and the other can camouflage himself."

"I know that!" Fury snapped.

"Yeah they do have that nasty habit of slipping through things like this don't they?" Shipwreck said as he stood with the Misfits.

"Great we had a squad of our best agents and you guys as well as a British secret agent and they still got away!" Fury growled.

"Hey don't blame us," Shipwreck said. He looked at Burke. "At least none of us Misfits were trying to pick up Mystique at the time!"

"No you were too busy trying to pick up Storm!" Burke snapped. "She's too fine a lady to be handled by a cretin as yourself!"

"I need a drink…" Ororo muttered.

Meanwhile the Seftons were arguing. "I just couldn't find the time to tell you that I was able to do magic!" Mrs. Sefton shouted at her husband.

"You had nearly eighteen years to tell me!" Mr. Sefton shouted. "In all that time you couldn't have once figured out a way to break it to me?"

"It just never seemed to come up in conversation," Mrs. Sefton said.

"Oh really?" Mr. Sefton looked at her. "Well here's a conversation starter: 'Honey what are you going to be for Halloween? Guess what I am?'"

"I can't stand this anymore!" Amanda ran off to the bathroom.

"You can't take it anymore?" Mr. Sefton shouted.

"Stop yelling you're upsetting your daughter!" Mrs. Sefton shouted.

"I'm upsetting her? I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!" Mr. Sefton screamed.

"Mr. Sefton please calm down," Xavier told him.

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! I DON'T WANT TO CALM DOWN!" Mr. Sefton shouted at him. "IN CASE YOU HADN'T NOTICED, I HAD A LOUSY EVENING! AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT XAVIER! WHY THE HELL DID I LISTEN TO YOU? WHY…"

"Margali! I thought I detected your mystical energy!"

They turned around and saw Dr. Strange standing there. "Stephen?" Mrs. Sefton gasped.

"Steven?" Mr. Sefton looked at her.

"Margali I hate to barge in like this unannounced but there has been a dimensional tear. The gates of Limbo have been opened and the fate of this dimension may depend on us," Dr. Strange said. Then he looked around. "Is this a bad time?"

"Oh no…" Mr. Sefton said sarcastically. "It's a perfect time! A PERFECT FREAKING TIME!"

"Let me guess, he just found out you're a sorceress?" Dr. Strange asked Margali. "I told you to tell him years ago!"

"I know but…" Mrs. Sefton moaned.

"WHO IS THIS GUY NOW?" Mr. Sefton shouted.

"Dr. Steven Strange," He said. "I'm a fellow sorcerer and a friend of Margali's."

"Doctor Strange?" Kurt looked at him. "Why are you here?"

"Oh hello Kurt, Rogue, Xavier and everyone," Dr. Strange waved. "Well it's kind of a complicated situation."

"Of course you all know each other," Mr. Sefton moaned. "Why wouldn't you all know each other?"

"Basically an evil entity of great magical power is trying to escape from its confinement," Dr. Strange said. "Since Margali here helped create the barrier that contained it in the first place I thought she might be helpful in doing it again."

"I don't know anyone here," Mr. Sefton muttered. "Not even my own wife!"

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Xavier asked.

"Are you nuts?" Lance asked.

"The boy is right," Dr. Strange said. "As much as I appreciate your offer I don't really need your assistance. This is a dangerous dimensional crossing entity that could enslave the planet and only magic can stop it. You know the usual stuff."

"Oh great…" Mrs. Sefton moaned. "Honey I really need to take care of this right now. We'll talk later tonight I promise!"

"If we're not torn to pieces and our essence will be shredded through the fabric of time," Dr. Strange said.

"Wonderful…" Mr. Sefton looked like he was going to pass out. "Just peachy."

"What's that noise?" Rogue turned around and saw that several SHEILD Agents were at the bar singing with a kareoke machine.

"I didn't know this place had a kareoke machine," Wanda said.

"It doesn't," Todd told her as he pointed to who was responsible.

"BENNY!" Dr. Strange shouted. "Quit fooling around! We have work to do!"

"You're no fun you know that Doc?" Benny said.

Amanda came out of the bathroom just in time to watch her mother leave with Dr. Strange and Benny. "Dad? Where's mom going? Now what's going on?"

"Honey…Mom's gone off to do something with a…colleague. And Daddy may be going away for a while after tonight," Mr. Sefton told her. "He might be going to a place where he will get a lot of peace and quiet and rest. Lots of rest."
