Role Reversal
Chapter Three: A Few Differences
"Professor!" called Scott as he entered the mansion. "Where are you?! It's an emergency!"
"Mr McCoy!" added Kitty. "Are you here?!"
Evan added his voice to the mix. "Aunty O! You here?!"
And then there was Kurt. "Logan! Hello!"
Finally, there was an answer. "What do you kids want?" asked Logan, from a position at the top of the stairs in the foyer. "'Cause whatever it is, we're kind of busy."
"We've got company," explained Scott.
Logan narrowed his eyes. "You, too?" Then he groaned. "Hank! They've got them, too!"
"What was that all about?" Rogue whispered to Roué.
"I don't know," came the reply.
"Wildcat!" called Scarlett. "You're here, too?"
Everyone looked up. Standing next to Logan was a woman. She saw the Sisterhood, growled, and popped out claws that were identical to Logan's.
"I guess we know who that is, huh?" Kurt asked Evan.
"Yeah."
"Lois," began Scarlett, "who else is here?"
Lois growled. "Doctor X, Hurricane, and Animal. What are they doing here?" she asked, pointing her claws at Petra and the other members of the Sisterhood.
"They were dragged here when the fabric that separated our two dimensions was torn apart," explained Forge and Form in unison.
"It seems that we are not the only ones who have changed gender," remarked a voice. As well as Xavier entering the room, a woman, also in a wheelchair, followed him. She continued speaking. "Lois, we must give them common courtesy. They are stuck here, too. And we may have to work together to solve this problem."
"You're probably right, Charlotte."

"So, Forge," began Xavier (the male one), "you had an accident with an invention of yours, and it brought all of these people to our world?"
"That's right," replied Form. "Although, I, too, made one. We had a similar sort of an accident in our world. Ward blasted it on our way home."
"That's what happened to us!" interrupted Evan. "except Wanda blasted US!"
"Hey!" said Ward and Wanda at the same time. "Don't blame us!"
"Yeah!" added Todd and Tonya in unison. "They had tragic childhoods!"
Amazingly, Ward calmed down, and Tonya sat next to him. "Are you okay?" she asked, worried.
Todd's mouth dropped as Ward put his arm around Tonya's shoulder and pulled her close. "Yeah. I guess."
Wanda just stared as Tonya buried her face in Ward's chest. "That's good."
"What?!" screeched Wanda.
Ward looked up. "What? Aren't you dating Todd?"
"You're dating?" asked Todd, hardly believing what he was hearing. "You two are a couple?"
Tonya nodded. "Yep." Then she smiled. "Well, we started after I cleaned my teeth and started taking a shower every day."
Todd turned to Wanda. "If I did that, would you -"
"NO!"
Tonya looked at Todd, and smiled sadly. "It was worth a shot."
Scarlett shook her head at the exact time Scott shook his. "Can we please get on with our original plan?" she asked, her tone exasperated.
"Sure," said Lana, then. . . "Petra! Stop hitting on the guys!"
Petra looked up from her seat on Lance's lap. "What?" She stopped running her hands through Lance's hair, and following that, Lance's face took on a very relieved look.
"We are here to work!" said Lana angrily. "Not to hook up with guys! Especially not me as a guy!"
Petra frowned. "But I just want to have fun!" Then she brightened. "All right," she said, jumping off Lance's lap. "I'm not fussed."
"That's better."
Petra grinned, and sat down on the couch next to Kitty. "So," she said, smiling, "Kitty. Do you -"
"Petra! Stop hitting on the girls!"
Petra pouted. "What? I can't hit on the guys, I can't hit on the girls. What am I supposed to do then? All I want to do is to have fun!"
"Well, do it some other way!" retorted Lana angrily.
"Fine then! Where's Pietro?"
"Honestly!" muttered Jean (the male one).
"You know," said Kurt. "We're going to have to do something about that."
"About what?" asked Eva.
"The fact that we have two Jean's, and unlike the rest of us, they have the exact same name," answered Katrin.
"You're right," said Evan. "So, anyone got any ideas?"
"We could always say Jean-the-girl and Jean-the-boy," suggested Eva.
"We could," said Katrin. "Or we could just call one Jean, and the other something else."
"Like what?" asked Scott, who had been listening to the conversation.
"Like, maybe we could call the girl Jean, Jean," said Kitty.
"And the male Jean, Grey," finished Carter.
"I can live with that," said Jean - sorry, Grey.
"Me, too," added Jean.
"Okay, people," interrupted Hank. "Now that we have that pressing issue sorted, let's get back to this little problem."
"Excuse me," said Roué. "Where is Ms McCoy? Animal?" he added, almost as an afterthought.
"Henrietta is down in the science labs," replied Charlotte (Note: Charles Xavier is called Xavier, and Charlotte Xavier is. . . Charlotte. Thought this might be helpful!)
"No, I am not."
Everyone turned to see a well-built woman with blue skin, and blue hair on her head walk into the room. When she smiled you could see long canines like those of the great apes. She was, in fact, built like a female Silverback gorilla, except hairless.
"Is that Mr McCoy's twin?"
The woman smiled. "I'm Henrietta. Also known as Animal."
"Um. . ." began Kurt, "I just want to know something. . ."
"You want to knew why I have very little hair in comparison to my twin."
"Well, yeah."
Henrietta grinned, baring those canines that made her quite a frightening figure. "Like most of my gender, I suffer from vanity. So I spend a lot of time and money having the hair removed. Blue skin I can handle, fur everywhere, I cannot."
"Makes sense. But what about Katrin?"
Katrin shrugged her shoulders. Like Kurt, she had very short fur covering her skin, and a tail. "I was born this way. Ms McCoy was not. I'm used to it. Besides," she added, grinning, "dudes dig the fuzzy chick!"
Here are the names (I'll do the guys first, and then the girls, just to try and keep this as simple as possible).
