Icy: You gotta love the guys in Maggie's new group, they are so cute!
W: You are so weird!
Icy: Enjoy
"Les con draggin us all in dere fights.{1}" Remy pouted as he ripped at the weeds. "What kinda villain has a garden anyways?" He smirked at the mental image of Magneto pulling weeds in his purple and red costume. Gambit began yanking out more of the pesky unwanted plants from the twenty by eight square garden.
Pyro groaned as he trudged up to the bathroom door. 'Why is it that I always get the latrine? It's bad enough that the pot is in there with the tub but those buggers expect me to clean it? Crazy Americans'. Without knocking he swung the door wide open, only turn tail and run as fast as he could in the other direction. The door shut with a loud clang, as Magnus grumbled about kids not having any manners these days and turned the page of his Seventeen.
Peter scowled at the window; he'd already finished doing the dusting. This time he had only broken two vases and three pictures. He sighed as he took the rag from his bucket and started to wipe off the windows. He noticed a smudge at the very top and reached for it, dragging a chair over he climbed on top of it to get the mark. Reaching over he realized he still couldn't get the dirt, deciding that his mutant power would give him the boost he needed he changed into his metal form to reach the spot. Peter powered up… only to fall through the thin glass. He cursed the cheaply made product as he stood up and dusted the shards off his metal plated skin.
Pietro whipped around the kitchen in the blink of an eye. Grabbing the skillet on the stove he tossed the contents into the air and stirred the pot next to it. Humming a tune to himself he smiled lightly. He wore an ever present smirk on is face. Not that Pietro would ever let his father know but he loved to cook, it was passion he had acquired as a youth in foster homes. Often being left alone he had to learn how to fend for himself and then again at the brotherhood manor after Rogue left. Spinning around hastily the young chief took the peppershaker in his hand and began to shake it over the dish in the skillet with a deft skill.
Remy wiped off his sweat-laden forehead and returned to gardening tools to the shed. Resting for a second on the shed, he formulated a plan with which he could seek his revenge on his teammates. There had to be some way to get Pietro and Pyro in trouble but indirectly. If Magneto were the one to punish them there was no way that they could retaliate against Remy, not without Magnus seeing them do it. There had to be some way to get Erik to help out in the plan without knowing, suddenly an idea hit him and Remy set off to find Colossal, rubbing his hands in anticipation.
John crept back over to the bathroom door a while later and this time knocked on it hesitantly. When there was no reply he went in with a brush and pink robber gloves on. Albeit he looked strange there was no way in Hades that he was gonna touch anything with his bare hands that had been used by everyone to relieve mother nature's call.
Edging near the toilet he stuck the brush in the bowel, sprayed a green gel in also and started to briskly swirl it around. Bubbles surged from the top and the mutant stopped, but grabbed a nearby towel and sponged up some liquid. Frowning he noted that the suds had spilled all around the bathroom. Grinning an idea came to him. Looking behind to make sure the coast was clear John snuck over to the sink. Selecting a toothbrush from Pietro's cup he began to scrub the bathroom clean with it.
~A while later ~
Smirking as he gazed at the sparkling floor, toilet, tub, sink, mirror, door, scale, shower, and stand he replaced the speedster's ragged tooth brush. Wiping his hands off on his pants he waltzed down to the kitchen to await the next meal, his stomach grumbling loudly.
Colossal glanced back at the three broken windows and tossed his rag into the laundry chute. He turned around to see Remy leaning against a nearby tree with a gleam in his eyes. He raised an eyebrow and approached the Cajun. Remy seemed to not care, but on the inside was glad that he had been able to get the Russian's attention. It had taken half the afternoon to find him.
"What are you up to?"
"Nothing"
"I'm not stupid, what are you doing?"
Remy strode towards him, with a cat-who-ate-the-canary-grin, fingering an ace of spades in one hand with a joker card in another. 'Got him!' Wrapping an arm around the stoic Russian.
"Come this way mon ami, Ah'll explain all." Peter just looked confused but followed the southern teen towards the house. It was not a smart thing to refuse Remy when he had a plan up his sleeve, that and Peter had nothing else to occupy his time with until lunch,
Magnus rose from his lab, making sure all the chemicals were stowed away from the prying hands of his new recruits. "God knows what would happen if they got their hands on these." He swooped off towards the dining room, his stomach letting out a loud grumble as his nose picked up on the scent. "If this tastes as good as it smells then I just might have to punish the boy more often." {2}
Remy and Peter came into the house, the former holding a bottle of something. Checking to make sure that the coast was clear the duo stalked inside, closing the door and moving onward with all the stealth they possessed. They got as far as the kitchen door before they saw Magnus muttering about punishing Pietro more often, holding their breathes in hope that he would pass by they almost collapsed in relief as he continued into the dining room. Of course what didn't help was when Pyro came up behind them and tapped Remy on the shoulder.
"What are you mates up to?" He looked at them oddly as they attempted to put on innocent smiles.
"Eh nothing, just thought that Speedy might need some uh help with the meal is all." Remy smiled, using a tab amount of charm power on the teen. John looked doubtful for a minute, ready to spread the alarm when Remy's 'ability' kicked in making him smile like a little girl getting attention from a crush. Nodding his head with the goofy smile still in place he wandered into the dining room.
Peter sighed, "That was close"
"Oui, too close for Remy's liking."
Starting once their expedition once again they headed into the kitchen. Pietro was no where to be seen, of course that didn't mean he could just appear in the blink of an eye. Looking over to the place settings Remy walked over to Magnus'. Gesturing for Peter to follow he took the container from the Russian teen. Pouring a small amount of the material into their leaders cup.
Pietro entered the room once more, creeping up behind the two. Arching a well-defined eyebrow at the two he jumped up on the counter to get a better view of what the two were trying to accomplish. All he saw was Remy placing a bottle that looked suspiciously like a chemical from his father's lab in his large trench coat. 'Ugh like anyone would reach in there to get it back' Pietro thought before jumping off the ledge and tapping both of them on the shoulder. Peter and Remy spun around trying to look innocent and failing miserably once again.
"What are you two doing to the drinks? NotspikingthemIhope!" Pietro grinned at them, seeing if they were making an attempt to embarrass him in front of his father and get him punished. 'Lord knows we did that constantly in the brotherhood' He smiled as he thought of all the times he'd short sheet Lance's bed or washed Todd's clothes or replaced Freddy's shampoo with green hair dye, heck he'd even stolen quite a few of Rogue's unmentionables come to think of it. 'Who knew she'd have black panties!'
"We were simply tryin' to help you mon ami! But if you would rather carry these yourself, so be it. Come along Peter, let's leave."
Both of them rushed out of the room, afraid that if they remained a moment longer that they might break down in laughter. Sighing they wiped away the tears of mirth and joined Pyro and Magneto in the dining room.
Shaking his head at them he took his cup Pietro emptied their cups and filled it with his father's. Taking his own cup and retrieving another he walked out of the kitchen with the newly fixed drinks.
