Chapter Three: Date attempt and Evil mutants
Disclaimer: I own no Marvel characters. Anya-chan isn't even mine. ;_; Oh well.
So, here's chapter three. Read on, my friend! {since you'd have to be my friend to read this far...}
BTW, I don't hate Pietro... He's just fun to mess with... Especially in "Evolution"... ;p
***********************************************************************
Professor Xavier was greatly disturbed by what had occurred at the conference. He was so disturbed that he did not speak during the entire ride home, which made Scott assume that the Professor was upset with him. When they reached the mansion, Scott dared to venture a question.
"Professor, are you mad at me?"
Xavier looked surprised for a moment, snapped out of his deep thought.
"No... Just disappointed, Scott." He paused for a moment, which was usually the signal for a longer lecture. "Why don't you get to bed, Scott? It's late, and you have class in the morning."
"Uh... Okay... Good night, Professor." Scott said as he cautiously left the Professor in the entryway.
Anya Lehnsherr... Who are you, really? You simply cannot be the some one who perished so many years ago. What is your objective? He asked himself late in to the night. When he fell asleep, her fair face taunted him all night long.

The next day, Scott was dreading Latin class.
"Look on the bright side, Scott. It could have been the teacher that you fried with the blast." Rouge tried to cheer him up, but the attempt fell flat.
"I'm going to ask her out today!" Kurt declared boldly, attracting strange looks from those walking with him.
"Kurt, she's at least twice your age!" Kitty said pointedly.
"I don't care!" He shook his head. "Age doesn't matter when you're in love!"
"Whatever. Just don't disturb the entire class in the process." Jean said, rolling her eyes as they walked in the classroom. "After what happened yesterday, I'll be surprised if we don't all flunk."
"You will be quite fortunate if you manage not to flunk." Anya looked up from her desk.
"Miss Lehnsherr! I didn't know you were in here already." Kitty said awkwardly.
"Why would I be somewhere else? After all, this is my classroom." She asked in a tone that seemed dangerous in its mildness.
"Miss Lehnsherr, I want to know what you meant last night." Scott said abruptly.
"What I meant?" Anya gazed at him with the same annoying amusement. "Whatever do you mean, Mr. Summers?"
"What you said..." The bell rang, cutting off Scott in mid-sentence.
"Please take your seat, Mr. Summers. And please, do try not to disturb the class today."
***********************************************************************
After class, Kurt made his attempt to ask Anya out on a date.
"Uh, Miss Lehnsherr, could I talk to you for a minute?" He asked, coming to her desk while others left the room.
"You already are." She glanced up from the stack of papers she was sorting through. "Continue."
"I was wondering... Well, uh... Would you like to go to dinner this Friday?" He stammered. Anya stopped sorting through the papers to look up at Kurt with a very surprised/horrified/irritated expression on her face.
"Mr. Wagner, you are aware that I am nearly twice your age." Her statement rang in question form.
"Yes." He said quietly. "But I don't care! I--" He stopped when Anya stood up.
"I'll accept your proposed dinner—" She paused as he looked thrilled. "—after you write a fifty page essay on the importance of dating within you age group."
He groaned.
"In Latin." She added, and left the room.

"Hey, you're blocking my view of the TV!" Pietro yelled at Toad, who was vacuuming around the coffee table.
"Yeah, well why don't you do something about it?" He asked obnoxiously. Pietro stood up and began to run around the coffee table, only to trip on his own feet. Blob and Lance snickered from where they stood in the doorway, as they had come to see why Pietro was angry this time.
"What are you laughing at?!!" He demanded, standing up. He tried to run over to them, but again, tripped on his own feet.
"You seem to have been stricken with a case of clumsiness." Anya said ironically, sitting on the windowsill which had been empty until a moment ago.
"Hey, you're the Latin teacher!" Lance exclaimed. Smirking, Anya stood up.
"That's right, I am. I need place to stay for the duration of my time in this universe." She glanced around the room. "This will do."
"Ya know, we really don't want you here. Now go away!" Pietro shouted, standing up again.
"Have you the intention of making me?" Anya asked in her eternally amused manner.
"Look, you--" Pietro began to move in a threatening manner toward her, but froze in place. Blob, Avalanche and Toad moved to Pietro curiously.
"Hey, I think he's... Frozen or something." Toad said, after curiously waving his hand around in front of Pietro's face, while sitting on his head.
"What did you do?" Lance asked Anya, who was sitting down on the couch.
"I paralyzed him. That is all." She said in a perfectly relaxed manner.
"Won't he die or something?" Blob asked, noting that Pietro was not breathing.
"Only if I choose not to release him soon." She smiled, and released her hold of power of Pietro. He became unbalanced, and fell over yet again. Toad landed on the coffee table in front of Anya.
"Look, it's not that we mind company of anything, but you picked a real bad time to drop in." He said nervously.
"Did I? How so?" She asked, raising an eyebrow in amusement.
"Because Magneto's coming tonight." Pietro exclaimed, zipping across the room, without tripping this time. "And when he finds out that you've been pestering me, you are fish bait!"
Anya just smiled. "Let him come." She paused. "Oh, and get me a cup of coffee."
