Chapter Four

Jennifer Reports to Nightmare

After school, Jennifer jogged up to the warehouse and unlocked the heavy door.

"Andrew! I'm home!" she called up the steps.

"Did you make any progress with the X-Men?" Nightmare asked as he stepped out of the shadows and stood at the top of the stairs.

"Well," Jennifer paused looking down at the floor, "yeah! Fooled you! Hehe!" When she saw Nightmare's unamused stare she continued. "Their leader guy was still crabby at me because of what I did, you know, froze him? Twice? But I think he'll get over it. The guy I stole from, Kurt? Well, he seems pretty nice and I think he forgives me somewhat. And Kitty, God she is so annoying, I think she's still a little miffed about how I treated them before I joined with the Brotherhood. And Jean..."

"Shut up you chatterbrain!" Andrew snarled. Jennifer shut up. "Do they trust you enough to let you join them?"

Jennifer looked down at her feet.

"I'm not sure," she mumbled.

Nightmare rolled his eyes upwards. "Pathetic, useless girl," he muttered under his breath as he walked through the dining room and closed the door to his private office.

Jennifer jogged up the steps and glanced at the empty table before digging through the cabinets on the wall to find some dinner.

"We need to go to the grocery store soon!" she called to Andrew when she found nothing but a half-eaten granola bar in the cabinets.

Nightmare shouted something unintelligible from his office, causing Jennifer to wince.

"Guess that means I have to go by myself?" she called. When her boss didn't answer she dug into the plastic cookie jar on the counter for their shopping money.

"I'll try to get some cash for us while I'm out!" Jennifer hollered as she pulled out a lone five dollar bill.

You'll have to wait a moment for the next chappie, darn slow computer...
