Stepping Out With My Undead Baby

It had been a typical day at the Xavier Institute.

BOOOM!

Well as typical as can be expected when the Misfits visit. "Okay who blew up what this time I wonder?" Shipwreck mused as he watched television with Bobby, Rogue, Althea and Todd.

"Five will get you ten it was Tabby," Todd remarked as he casually grabbed some chips with his tongue.

"Nah it didn't sound like her time bombs," Bobby thought. "It could be Sam flying around into the walls again."

"No Sam makes a whooshing sound," Rogue said. "It could be Forge's inventions backfiring on him again."

"Well you're half right Sis," Pietro raced up to them. "It was Forge's latest particle laser toaster however Jesse was a bit too close to it."

"Ah," Shipwreck nodded. "Wait, the kid didn't blow it up on purpose did he?"

"No he's just very jumpy," Pietro grinned.

"What did you do?" Rogue moaned.

"What makes you think it was me?" Pietro asked.

"Because it is almost always you," Althea remarked. "So what did you do?"

"All I did was say 'boo'," Pietro shrugged. "Not exactly the most frightening thing."

"It is if you are wearing a hockey mask and holding a fake chainsaw in the dark," Wanda walked in. "What are you guys doing?"

"We're watching the news," Shipwreck said. "It's a bit less violent than around here."

"That's the second time this week the blood bank's been robbed," Bobby remarked. "Weird."

"How much you wanna bet they blame this on us?" Rogue grumbled.

"Oh come on," Pietro waved. "Mutants aren't vampires. Well most of us aren't." He dodged a swipe from Rogue. "Touchy, touchy."

Ororo casually walked by the room. She was wearing a very fashionable dress and looked very attractive. "Whoa!" Shipwreck immediately noticed her. "Where are you going pretty lady?"

"None of your business Shipwreck," Ororo told him.

"She's going to see her new boyfriend," Jamie walked up and grinned.

"He's not my boyfriend!" Ororo snapped.

"What's this about Storm having a boyfriend?" Logan walked in with John and Low Light.

"I do not! I just have…a date," Ororo admitted.

"What date?" Shipwreck shouted. "With who?"

"What's going on?" Kurt asked as he teleported in.

"Storm's got a date," Rogue said. "Is it with that guy you met the other night?"

"What guy?" Shipwreck shouted. "WHAT OTHER NIGHT?"

"Why don't you say it louder?" Ororo snapped. "I don't think the whole mansion heard you!"

By this time however nearly the entire mansion had walked in. Students were flocking to the room. "We heard it all," Arcade said. "They were at this museum two nights ago…"

"Arcade…" Ororo growled.

"Something about Xavier paying damages for a previous field trip," Xi continued. "Then trying to convince them not to ban mutants for life from it."

"That's enough Xi," Ororo warned.

"So she's in this gallery when this guy in a tuxedo and a gorgeous accent introduces himself to her," Kitty giggled. "I mean I saw them talking and he was like really charming. If I was older I'd go for him."

"KITTY!" Ororo shouted. "The entire world does not need to hear the details!"

"No just us," Hank said. "Continue dear."

"Well…" Kitty started.

"WILL ALL OF YOU KNOCK IT OFF!" Ororo shouted. "The last thing I need right now is all of you prying into my private life!" The doorbell rang. "Now all of you behave yourselves. ESPECIALLY YOU SHIPWRECK!"

"I'll get it!" Kitty ran to the door, phasing through people to be there first. Behind the front door was a very swarthy distinguished man.

"Greetings," He said in a smooth Romanian accent. "I am Vladimir Dracule. I have come to escort Miss Monroe out for the evening."

"Sure come on in!" Several X-Men and Misfits shouted cheerfully.

"NO!" Ororo said too quickly. "Uh maybe some other time. Let's go Vladimir. Don't wait up. I mean it!" She grabbed Dracula and dragged him out the door.

"He seems like a nice guy," Kurt blinked.

"There's something about that guy that gives me the willies," Thornn shuddered.

"All the more reason to investigate!" Shipwreck had a gleam in his eyes.

"You are not going to spy on Storm and her date," Low Light warned.

"Spy? Heaven forbid!" Shipwreck made a wounded look. "Actually we were thinking of investigating something else…Like the blood bank robberies in town."

"We were?" Fred blinked. Lance elbowed him in the side. "Oh yeah! We were!"

"Yeah," Todd took the hint. "I heard that General Hawk wants us to look into it."

"He does not," Low Light glared at him.

"Well since we are in the neighborhood…" Shipwreck shrugged.

"And it is a medical thing," Angelica said quickly. "Right Lina?"

"Oh yes and I guess we could investigate," Lina blinked.

"Well then let's go Misfits!" Shipwreck and the Misfits quickly ran out the back door.

Except for Low Light. "YOU GUYS! WAIT UNTIL ROADBLOCK AND COVER GIRL HEAR ABOUT THIS!" He ran after them.

"Well this is an interesting development," Hank mused.

"Yeah it's a lot more interesting than talking about Kitty's love life for a change," Bobby said.

"Uh guys the Misfits just took off," Kitty said pointing out the window.

"Good," Scott smiled.

"Not really, they stole one of our vehicles," Kitty said.

"WHAT?" Scott shouted.

"HEY COME BACK WITH THE X-VAN!" Logan roared.

"We're really going to go spy on Ororo's date aren't we?" Pietro asked as they drove away.

"Well duh!" Shipwreck told him as they sped off.

What will happen next? What is Dracula's dastardly plan? Will Ororo fall under his spell? Or will she kill Shipwreck first? Stay tuned and find out!
