Don't Mess With the Mutants

"I have to hand it to you Summers," Lance shook his head. "This idea of yours was worthy of a Misfit." Several X-Men and Misfits were outside the room where James was being held prisoner.

"I'll take that as a complement," Scott grinned.

"NO! NOT THE PINK RIBBONS! ANYTHING BUT THE PINK RIBBONS!" James could be heard screaming.

"Siccing the Triplets on him," Todd shook his head. "Now that is cruel. I like it."

"It's also very inventive," Hawk chuckled as he, Logan and Xavier made their way towards them.

"So are you guys gonna take him?" Logan asked Hawk.

"Well…no," Hawk grinned. "Since this was a covert operation the Jugglers have decided to handle this a different way. They are willing not to make this an international incident provided that the Canadian government shall we say…makes a few concessions that we don't need to go into right now."

"So who's going to come pick him up?" Logan asked.

"Some of his own people are coming…unofficially of course later tomorrow," Hawk told them. "Would you mind holding him until them? The Jugglers don't want us to do it or any official authorities so that no one will get wind of this. I will send a few of my men to help watch him, unofficially of course."

"You want us to baby sit Jimmy boy?" Logan asked.

"Well he did try to kidnap you so I figured the punishment would fit the crime," Hawk grinned. "And in exchange for your assistance certain members of the Jugglers will help nudge things in your direction should anything come up if you get my meaning."

"We help them out now, they'll help us later," Xavier understood. "Well as long as he's not a danger to any of my students…"

A loud scream could be heard. "Something tells me that's not going to be a problem," Hawk grinned. "I think I'll let the Misfits and Jinx handle this one." He flinched as he heard another loud scream. "Maybe we should check on the girls?"

"Well I left them with Rogue to make sure things don't get too out of hand," Logan said.

"WHAT IS THIS? BLACK LIPSTICK! GET THIS OFF OF ME!" James shouted.

"You might have a point," Logan shrugged. He went into the room and nearly choked. There was James, wearing jeans, a blue shirt and gobs of makeup all over his face. He also had pink ribbons in his hair. "Why Jamie darlin', you've grown to be a fine young lady."

"Very funny Logan!" James snapped.

"Don't look at me," Logan grinned. "They wanted to do a lot worse to you!"

"Let's just say you're just lucky we decided to put pants on you," Rogue snapped.

"Well I have this nice blue dress that would look good on him," Daria remarked.

"Logan I've had enough of this!" James shouted. "I order you to let me go this minute! You have no right to keep me here like this!"

"Oh please," Brittany glared at him. She turned to her sisters and Rogue. "Do you believe this guy?"

"Listen bub," Logan glared at him. "I didn't ask you to come down here to get me. You invaded this school all on your own and hurt one of my students! Accident or no I don't take kindly to that."

"Is she all right?" James asked, his tone had softened.

"Just a slight burn and mad as hell but yes," Logan folded his arms. "Point is, you're our 'guest' here until your ride comes to get you tomorrow. By then you will never want to set foot on this estate again or come near me as long as you live!"

"And you'll make sure of that?" James glared at him.

"No…" Logan gave him an evil grin. He opened the door revealing all the students waiting outside. "But they will."

Logan took great delight in watching James' jaw drop. "Okay kids, don't kill or maim him significantly, other than that…use your imaginations."

"OH I HAVE GOT QUITE A FEW THINGS ON MY MIND!" Tabitha stormed into the room with a bandage on her forehead.

"You are so dead…" Jamie giggled at James.

"And may god have mercy on your soul," Hank snickered. "For nobody else here will."

Next: An escape! But not who you think it's going to be! A new character is gonna show up soon! Who is it and what is her relationship to the mutants? Stay tuned for the excitement.

And for those who are confused on the Vindicator/Guardian thing…James Hudson started out calling himself Vindicator before…well let's just say a major incident. (I'm not going to spoil it for those who don't know.) Then Heather donned the suit and called herself Vindicator. When James came back then he changed his name to Guardian and Heather kept the name Vindicator.

Confusing isn't it?
