How Many Days Until Retirement?
"Tell me something," John asked as the X-Men returned to the mansion. "Are all missions with the Misfits usually this nuts?"
"Actually that one went surprisingly well," Warren groaned.
"Oh that makes me feel so much better!" John grumbled.
"The rest of us didn't exactly have a great day either," Logan said. "You try swimming with metal bones sometime. At least we know we can count on Thunderbird when the going gets rough. Right Cyclops?"
"Yeah well," Scott said. "Maybe I was a bit hard on you."
"A bit?" John asked. "Try a lot. Better yet try extremely…."
"Okay! Okay! I get it," Scott stuck out his hand. "Truce?"
"Well, never let it be said I didn't try to give peace a chance," John reluctantly shook it. "If I'm gonna hang around here I might as well try to get along with you."
"That's great!" Kitty jumped up and down.
"He's going to help teach gym instead of being in a regular classroom," Logan grinned.
"That's not so great," Kitty frowned.
They went inside the mansion. "Well Thunderbird I hope now things will run a bit more smoothly," Xavier said. "It has been a difficult transition but I…" He stopped speaking and gasped.
Before them Roberto and Ray were using their powers to fight in the living room. Jamie and all his clones were dressed up like knights and chasing after Lockheed who was breathing fire. Hank was desperately trying to control the rest of the students.
"ALL RIGHT WHO GAVE MULTIPLE SUGAR?" He shouted. "BERZERKER! SUNSPOT STOP THAT AT ONCE! JUBILEE! FERAL! WHY DID YOU PUT SAM IN A DRESS? HE DID WHAT? TABITHA REMIND ME TO KILL YOU FOR BLOWING UP ALL MY SCOTCH! NO! JAMIE DON'T DO THAT! NOOOOOOO! SAM NO DON'T! YOU'RE GOING TO CRASH INTO THAT…."
BOOOOOOM!
"Wall…" Hank groaned. "Tabitha why did you destroy my scotch? Do you like seeing a grown man cry? All my sweet, sweet scotch….."
"We have got to get some kind of medication around here," Warren groaned. "We need it for putting up with these kids!"
"You sure you still want to stay here?" Logan asked John.
"I miss the island already," John groaned.
