What happens when you let loose three people with magical powers in the mansion and one of them is very bad at it? Some fun Xavier torture that's what!
Professor Penguin
The next morning breakfast came and went with very little excitement. Well almost no excitement. "One of these days I must train Barumpbump not to practice his magic at the dinner table!" Dr. Strange washed out his cloak in the bathroom. "His stupid levitation demonstration got syrup all over it!"
"You would think magical garments would be more durable," Margali snickered. "Tumble dry low and all that."
"Well fortunately for me I know a very good cleaning spell," Strange used his powers to dry it. "With my apprentice it's been a necessity."
"Speaking of necessities…" Margali looked at him.
"I was wondering when you'd get around to asking," Strange sighed. "I'm afraid I detected a new danger on the horizon. And it's not Benny's inept magic."
Meanwhile in another part of the mansion…
"NO WAY!" Sam gasped. Some of the mutants were sitting with Benny in the living room.
"I thought I told you never to mention that little incident again!" Logan roared.
"It just sort of slipped out," Benny defended himself.
"Mr. Logan as a unicorn…" Amara snickered. "I just can't see it!"
"You're thinking cutesy type 'My Little Pony' unicorn," Scott informed her. "He was a Megadeth type unicorn. With a metal horn and hooves."
"Okay now I see it," Amara laughed.
"Oh you are all going to be in such pain when we do our training in the Danger Room!" Logan snapped.
"Oh come on Logan," Jean grinned. "You can't tell me you didn't enjoy being something so powerful and magical!"
"Weren't you horny enough?" Ray snickered.
"Okay! You're all dead!" Logan snapped.
"Logan I believe you are over reacting," Xavier said. "It was an accident after all and the spell was not permanent. Look back on it as a learning experience."
"If by learning you mean total and complete humiliation yes I guess you could see it that way!" Logan snapped.
"Oh come on," Benny said as he casually raised his wand. "I've gotten a lot more control over this thing since then!" Then the wand shorted out and gave out a burst of magic. "HIT THE DIRT!"
Everyone ducked for cover as the magic bounced off one mirror and hit another. It landed on Xavier. He screamed. Benny gulped. "Oh dear…"
Kurt teleported to the washroom where Dr. Strange was with Margali. "Dr. Strange come quick! There's been…an accident!"
"What?" Margali gasped as Kurt grabbed both of them and they ended up in the living room. "Oh my!"
Sitting in the Professor's chair was a penguin. "You didn't," Dr. Strange moaned.
"He did," Logan was snickering.
"BENNY!" Dr. Strange glared at him.
"It was an accident!" Benny protested.
"You turned the Professor into a penguin…" Dr. Strange moaned.
Logan chuckled. "You were saying Charles?"
Xavier the penguin glared at them. * I am not happy! *
"But Charles think of this as a learning experience," Logan grinned.
* THIS IS NOT FUNNY LOGAN! NOT FUNNY AT ALL! * Xavier squawked as he sent his message.
"Change him back Benny," Logan guffawed. "Before we need to make a trip to the South Pole."
"Uh…" Benny gulped. "I can't."
"WHAT!" Scott shouted. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T?"
"I don't know how…" Benny answered weakly.
"WELL YOU'D BETTER LEARN HOW MISTER!" Scott stalked him and put a hand to his visor.
"Ulp!" Benny gulped. He did the only sensible thing he could do when faced with an angry optic-blasting mutant. He ran.
"COME BACK HERE!" Scott shouted.
"GET HIM!" Ray shouted.
"HEY DON'T HURT HIM!" Logan shouted as he chased several of his students who were chasing Benny. "AT LEAST UNTIL HE TURNS THE PROFESSOR BACK!"
"If anyone deserves to mangle my apprentice it's me!" Dr. Strange sighed as he flew after them.
This left Margali alone with Kurt, Amanda and Xavier. "Does this happen often?" Margali asked.
"People turning into penguins or the chasing?" Kurt asked.
"Never mind!" Margali sighed. "I suppose I should help Stephen. He looks like he could use it!" She went after them with Kurt and Margali.
* Excuse me? Hello? * Xavier flapped his wings in his wheelchair. * WHAT ABOUT ME? *
"I wonder who Daisy Mae has been on the phone with all day?" Kitty asked as she walked in with Rogue.
"I dunno," Rogue remarked. "But she said…What the heck is that penguin doing here?" She gazed at where the Professor was.
"Oh how cute!" Kitty squealed.
Xavier glared at her. * Kitty…I am not cute! *
"Professor?" Kitty gasped. "Is that you?"
"No Kitty its some other penguin riding in a wheelchair that has telepathic abilities!" Rogue snapped. "Professor what happened? Don't tell me it was Benny!"
* Bingo. And I thought when I lost the use of my legs I had suffered my worst humiliation. I was wrong. *
"What's wrong?" Kitty asked.
"Besides the fact that the Professor is a penguin now?" Rogue looked at her.
"You know what I mean!" Kitty fumed.
* I can't move my chair! My flippers can't reach the controls! * Xavier flapped his short stubby wings uselessly. * I'm stuck here! Everyone ran out to chase Benny! *
"I guess your legs don't work in penguin form huh?" Kitty asked.
* No, just like my human legs didn't! Will you please get me out of this room and help me find Benny so I can get back to normal. Or if not assist me in pecking what there are of his brains out! *
"Okay I'll help you Professor," Kitty grabbed the handles.
It soon became clear that asking Kitty to pilot the wheelchair was not the smartest move he could have made. * Kitty…slow down! Slow down! SLOW DOWN! * He mentally screamed as she tore through the mansion.
"But if we slow down we'll miss everything!" Kitty shouted as they phased through several walls.
* Life…flashing…before my eyes…* Xavier started to twitch.
"Darn we lost them!" Kitty phased out into the backyard garden. She looked down. "Professor? Are you okay? You look a little pale."
Xavier panted. * Kitty…Just let me rest here in the garden for a while please? You go find the others on your own and bring them to me. Can you do that? *
"Sure, but do you want something? Like a blanket or some fish maybe? I can make you something?"
* NO! I mean…Just go and find the others and bring them here. Please? *
"Okay," Kitty shrugged and left, leaving Xavier alone to recover.
Xavier sighed and sat there. Well at least it's peaceful out here, He thought. Then he heard a noise.
"I can't believe we managed to get this far without any muties spotting us," Someone said.
"I told you," Duncan appeared with a few of his football buddies. "These freaks have gotten too lazy!"
Oh no! What are they doing here and how did they get past security? Oh wait, this morning Benny accidentally zapped our security system while practicing his magic and we didn't have a chance to restart it! Xavier frowned as he saw they had spray paint in their hands as well as a few Molitov cocktails.
Xavier was now very angry. In the first place he had had a very stressful week. Secondly he had several uninvited guests in his home. Thirdly he was now a penguin and had barely survived Kitty. To say that he was annoyed already would be an understatement. But now these hoodlums are invading my home intending to do some damage? That is the last straw!
"Hey guys!" Duncan pointed. "Look at the cute little penguin! Probably starting a zoo. Fit right in with all the other animals!"
* GET OUT OF HERE YOU LITTLE PUNKS!!!!! * Xavier then projected several very frightening images into their minds. Images that could only be described with an NC-32 rating. * AND IF YOU EVEN THINK OF COMING BACK HERE I WILL KNOW AND TEAR YOU ALL LIMB FROM LIMB! GOT IT? *
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The jocks screamed in terror.
"KILLER PENGUIN! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! RUN! RUN!" The boys screamed. They ran out of the front gate, down the street and into the arms of some policemen on patrol. "PENGUIN! PENGUIN"
"What is going on here?" One cop asked. He looked at the boys. They were all carrying homemade bombs, hyped up and all of them were in serious need of a change in underwear. "What are you punks doing with those Molitov cocktails?"
"PENGUIN! EVIL MUTANT PENGUIN!" Duncan screamed. "YOU GOTTA HELP SAVE US FROM THE EVIL MUTANT PENGUIN!"
"What the hell are you on kid?" The cop asked. "Come on! Let's go to the station!"
"NO IT'S THE PENGUIN! THERE'S AN EVIL MUTANT PENGUIN ON THE LOOSE! WE'RE NOT CRAZY OFFICER! IT'S THOSE FREAKS FAULT!" Duncan and his buddies screamed as the cops dragged them away.
"Better call the wagon, Harry," The cop said. "Not to mention the shrink."
"They came from the direction of the mutant place," Harry said. "You think they did something?"
"Who knows? We'll check it out," After sending Duncan and his buddies off to jail they went to the Xavier mansion. Ororo answered the door. "Excuse me but we've had reports of some kind of mutant penguin running amok around here. Is that true?"
"No I can honestly say that there is no penguin here," Ororo stated.
"I told you it was the drugs Harry," The cop said. "Sorry to bother you." They left.
Ororo went inside. "Well at least I didn't have to lie."
Sitting in the wheelchair was a chimpanzee in a suit and tie. * BENNY! * Xavier screamed psychically.
Next: Let's have some fun in the Danger Room. But a session becomes really dangerous when Benny accidentally adds one of his own programs in!
