Review if you do like it, though.
***********************************************************************
Shortly after Kurt's 22 page long translation, the class began to get bored. Kurt had kept them entertained with his frequent mistakes, but now Anya was trying to teach them something new.
Naturally, being bored teenagers, things began to happen. Kitty passed a note to Rouge, which was intercepted by Lance, which made Scott irritated.
"Hey. Why don't you pass that on like Kitty wanted?" Scott whispered, leaning over to Lance.
"Why don't you try to make me?" Lance asked with a smirk, beginning to unfold the note. Scott reached for the note, which Lance moved away.
"I'm warning you..." Scott snarled, reaching again.
"Just you try it, X-man!" Lance said, standing up. The building started to shake as Anya continued with her lecture. As bits of ceiling began to crash to the floor, Anya sighed.
"I did hope they would behave a bit longer than this." She said to herself, closing the book she had been reading out of.
"Cut it out!" Scott cried angrily, with a vain attempt to stand while the floor shook beneath him.
"Make me!" Lance replied with a taunting voice.
That was all it took for Scott to remove his glasses and take a good shot at Lance.
Suddenly, the room stopped moving. Lance sat on the floor, clutching the arm Scott's blast had struck.
"Lance! Are you all right?" Kitty cried, rushing to his side, through some desks, incidentally.
"Scott, how could you do that?!" Jean asked in a shocked tone.
"I—" was all Scott could say before Anya interrupted him.
"Mr. Summers, I believe that you are in quite a pinch." She said in an amused tone, sitting at her desk as though nothing had happened. "I would like to speak with your parents after this incident."
***********************************************************************
The X-men were quite talkative when they returned home that afternoon.
"I still can't believe how she handled that!" Kitty said to Jean as they came in the doorway.
"Yeah, it was almost like she deals with that kind of thing every day." Rouge agreed.
"I'm just surprised that she displays her mutant powers like that." Jean commented. "I mean, in this day and age, who uses their power in public like that?"
The girls were walking slightly ahead of Scott and Kurt.
"Man, I can't believe I did that. That was such a stupid thing to do!" Scott scolded himself.
"Yeah, and now you need a parent to go to a conference! Who are you going to get to go?" Kurt asked, shaking his head.
"I dunno." Scott sighed. "I don't want to tell the Professor about this—"
"About what, Scott?" Xavier asked upon entering the room.
"Professor Xavier! We have a new Latin teacher!" Kitty exclaimed.
"Yeah, she's a mutant too." Rouge added.
"And she doesn't mind flaunting it." Jean finished.
"Yes, that is all very good, but what are you talking about, Scott? What did you not want to tell me?" Xavier asked, wheeling over to Scott.
"I—uh..." Scott looked down guiltily.
"He got in a fight at school today." Kurt answered, then teleported away.
"During class?" Xavier asked, slightly surprised. Scott nodded, looking away.
"With whom?" Xavier asked as the girls slowly crept out of the hallway.
"Lance. He started it, Professor!" Scott tried to defend himself.
"It doesn't matter who started it, Scott. You know that. What happened?"
"Uh... I lost my temper and shot at Lance." He blurted. "Now the teacher wants me to bring a parent to her office tonight for a conference."
Xavier sighed. "Very well, Scott. I'll go with you. We'll have a discussion about this later."
***********************************************************************
Anya chuckled to herself as footsteps echoed down the hallway, coming to her office.
"Yes, yes, my prey. Come here, and let us have a marvelous time." She chuckled again, then picked up the stack of papers she was grading.
***********************************************************************
"This is it, Professor." Scott said, gesturing to a door.
"Very well. Let us proceed." He opened the door, and they began to enter. Anya was sitting at her desk, shuffling through papers, and across from her sat...
"You! What are you doing here?!" Scott demanded. Lance and Pietro turned their heads to him.
"Lance was supposed to bring a parent with him too. Since I'm the one in charge right now, I'm the next best thing." Pietro said quickly with a smirk on his face.
"I asked them to be here in order to affirm what happened." Anya said calmly, not looking up from her papers.
"This is what happened." Lance waved around his bandaged arm for emphasis. "Scott shot at me!"
"Now now, it is not that simple." Anya looked up from the papers with an amused smile. "There are two sides to every disagreement." She met the eyes of Xavier. "Ah yes, please, be seated." She gestured to a chair which came forward.
***********************************************************************
"I suppose nothing more can be said one way or the other." Anya mused three hours later. They had been in her office during those three hours, doing nothing except debate the incident. Anya was a very good moderator. Only one person was allowed to speak, and never directly to each other.
"Can we go now, Miss Lehnsherr?" Lance asked in a plaintive voice.
"Perhaps." She leaned back in her chair thoughtfully. "Do you believe the matter to be resolved?"
"Yes." He replied slowly.
"And you, Mr. Summers? Has your appetite for disturbance been satiated?" She asked, fixing a crystal eye on Scott.
"Yes." He answered quietly, almost pouting.
"Very well then. I expect to see you in class tomorrow." She stood up, gesturing to the door, which swung open. "I do hope you will excuse me for not escorting you out."
"Let's go!" Pietro was out of the door in a flash: it had been very difficult for him to sit still for such a long time.
"Hey, wait up!" Lance chased after him, though he had no hope of catching up.
"Are you ready to go, Professor?" Scott asked, also standing up.
"Almost, Scott." Xavier sighed deeply, as though puzzled by something. "Miss Lehnsherr, there is a matter I would discuss with you."
"Quite so?" Anya smiled in a vexing manner, as she had been during the entire conference. Her eyes seemed lightly amused by all the proceedings, as though she was not taking any of it seriously.
"You are a mutant. Yet you are recklessly revealing your powers to the entire school. Why?" Xavier asked on of the many questions he had been stewing on all evening. Anya sat back down.
"Charles, please. If I tell you all my secrets now, what fun will there be for the rest of the game?" She asked with a very disturbing expression of being entertained by the proceedings. "You know, I intend to destroy this world. Nevertheless, I intend to enjoy myself in the process."
