Okay then, that's everybody. Jade's with the Brotherhood, Jasmine's with the Acolytes, Anne's with the X-men and we can get this underway. My apologies to those who didn't get in… Actually, my apologies to everybody. I've been really busy with modeling classes and visiting relatives (for Hari Raya) and all… Plus the fact that I'm currently sick with flu and cough, and I've been continuously stuck on the B-Hood intro. Anyway, I'm really sorry. There are going to be three or one chapter(s) every time I update, depending on whether it's a combo or not. Don't whine about your team's placement in the three chapters, I'll rotate them. With that said (or should I say typed?) this fic has officially begun!

"Pretty hot burny!" St. John said gleefully as he made the flame from his (woman-shaped) lighter dance. Piotr whimpered. They'd been made on pain of losing all (and I mean ALL) their clothes to watch Pyro play with his flames. Sabertooth's eyes seemed to have glazed over and Pietro appeared to have fallen asleep with his eyes open. Remy was rocking back and forth and sucking his thumb like a newborn babe.
"ACOLYTES!" boomed Magneto from behind them. "Meet the new recruits!" Piotr jumped to his feet and turned, grateful for a reprieve from watching St. John play. Magneto left them with the words, "I'm sure you'll all get to know them better." Not so much as an introduction, nothing, nada, nein, nix, nope.
The shortest of the girls stepped forward. She looked at them warily with luminous sapphire eyes. Then she saw Remy (still rocking and sucking his thumb) and burst into laughter. The tallest shrugged and stuck out her hand.
"I'm Erika," she said in a cold, calm voice. "These," she waved to the other girls, "are Reese," the blonde smiled, "Amy," she glared at them with intense sea green eyes, "Jasmine," The brunette waved, "and the shorty on the floor is Lauren." Said shorty stopped laughing, glared at her and formed an electric blue ball, crackling with energy, which she then threw at Erika. Erika quickly blasted it away with her claws…right at Pietro's hair. KATHOOM!
Pietro's hair was completely gone. He was BALD! Everyone blinked… and then they were all rolling with laughter and mirth.
Pietro screamed like a little girl. Then he burst into tears and ran to his room. Wiping tears from her chocolate eyes, Reese slowly calmed down, as did the others. Amy looked at Pyro, examining his wild fiery red hair…and his oddly shaped lighter.

Pietro: WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Why did you make me bald? ! *sobs* I thought you LIKE me!
SLI: *pats him* Sure I do Speedy. It'll grow back. Of course you look like Prof X now but who cares?
Pietro: WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! *runs off to hide in his room*
SLI: Now I see why I like Jamie better.
