Regina: I have decided to stop calling myself 'Queen of Random' here, as I
think that by now we are all friends, no? Anyway, it seems a lot of you
have found the idea of Pyro not switching genders hilarious - albeit
confusing.
Anyway, the reason for this will show up later on in the story. Oh, and now
I have a sexy chere to use as a pawn in my story! And two Pyros will
definitely make this much more interesting - especially when they see
Amara. Sorry, being an Amyro fan, I had to put that in.
Sorry that this has taken so long, it's just that I've been working on my new website recently. It's called 'Randomland', and it's the home to all of my random stuff! You can visit it here at Please do, and make sure to sign my guest book, as it is looking very empty at the moment, and that is making me sad.
By the way, someone remarked about the whole Petra speaking German thing. Well, the idea came about when I was reading the Ultimate X-Men comics. I think it was 'Return to Weapon X', and anyway, Nightcrawler said something in German, and Quicksilver translated it.
Oh, and keep reviewing, too! Reviews make me happy as well!
Role Reversal
Chapter Twelve: Pyro Mania!
"Hold on a minute," said Scott. "Are you saying that you have not switched genders?"
"No! We're both guys!"
There was a pause, and then everyone burst out laughing.
"Ha ha! They're both guys!"
"I wonder what this means?!"
"Maybe one of them had an operation!"
"Yeah! But which one?"
"Neither of us have had an operation!"
"Okay, okay!" ordered Hank. "Everyone just let this go! This does not change anything! We still need to send everyone back to where they belong, so we are all going to have to work together." He turned and faced Xavier and Charlotte. "That is why they are here, right?"
Charlotte nodded. "Yes. Magna contacted me earlier, and informed me that she and the others where also here."
"And Magnus did the same for me," added Xavier.
"Magnus? Magna?" asked Logan. "Are we going to have to go through all of this again?"
"If that is what you want, Logan," replied Xavier with a smile. He faced Magneto again. "As all the others have done, you will need to introduce yourselves - as not all of my students will know exactly who you are - and your Doppelgangers."
Magneto, clearly unhappy about all of this, reluctantly agreed. "I agree." There was a pause, and he began the long - and now very boring - introductions. "That is Gambit, and his Doppelganger, Stratagem." Stratagem and Gambit smiled at the X-Men and co.
"This is Colossus, and Colossa." Both of them looked unhappy to be where they were.
"That is Pyro, and. . . Pyro." The two were busy arguing with each there, saying the exact same thing at the exact same time, in the exact same breath. They were also mimicking each others' actions.
Magneto was about to introduce Sabertooth and his Doppelganger, but they were busy. They were glaring at Logan and Lois, in the traditional fight postures.
"Wolverine," growled Sabertooth, as tradition dictated.
"Sabertooth," Logan growled in reply.
Next it was the turn of Sabertooth's Doppelganger. "Wildcat."
And then it was Lois' turn to name her opponent, but it was not the name that everyone expected. Oh, she said it in the way she was supposed to, but something was not right.
"Fluffy."
There was a pause.
"Er, her name is Fluffy?"
"That's just great!"
Everyone was laughing, even Gambit and Stratagem, and the two Pyros, who had stopped fighting long enough so that they could watch this confrontation.
'Fluffy' let out a roar. "My name is not Fluffy, Wildcat! My name is Sabrefang!"
"I know that," replied Lois. "I just like calling you that because I know how much you hate it." She laughed, and so did Logan.
"All right, everyone," interrupted Henrietta, distracting Sabrefang from launching herself at Lois, and Sabertooth from doing the same to Logan.
"Let's get back to business," added Hank, following on from his Doppelganger.
"Whatever that may be," said Magneta.
"One question," said Scott. "What are we going to do about them?"
Everyone looked at the new arrivals.
They looked back at them.
"I don't care," said Evan, "as long as we don't have to take them shopping."

"So," said Lana, looking at the new arrivals.
"So," mimicked Pyro.
"Okay, we're gonna need some first names here," said Carter. He looked at Pietro and Petra. "Well?"
"Well, what?" asked Pietro.
"Well, aren't you going to introduce them to us?" asked Kitty.
"They can do it themselves," retorted Petra. "They're big girls. And boys," she added with a smile, looking at Gambit, Colossus and Pyro.
"Oh, shut up!" shouted Ward, and everyone, even Petra, looked slightly taken aback by his outburst. "You," he pointed to Magneto's group - which was minus Sabertooth, as he had gone with Magneto - and to their Doppelgangers - also minus Sabrefang - and said, "Tell us your names, so that we can get on with this. His hands were surrounded with a blue light, so everyone quickly decided to comply with his demand.
Gambit stopped fiddling with his playing cards to speak first. "The name is Remy." He smiled and tossed a card in Rogue's direction. Wearily, she caught it. When she saw it was not going to explode, she held onto it.
Colossus went next. "I am Piotr Rasputin." Then he fell silent.
Pyro grinned at the X-Men and company. "G'day, mates! I'm John Allerdyce! Oh, and the big kitty cat who's missing is Victor Creed."
"Nice to meet you," grumbled everyone, as if they were at an AA meeting.
Then Stratagem went. "My name is Renee," she said with a smile, that seemed to be aimed at Roué. Unlike her Doppelganger, she refrained from giving him a card.
Colossa was as blunt as her Doppelganger. "I am Portia."
And Pyro number two was just like - well, himself. "Well, mates, you probably know who I am, so I don't need to tell you! Oh, Sabrefang is called Victoria, by the way."
"Looks like we're gonna have to do a Jean and Grey here," said Katrin.
"You're right," added Roué, who was standing next to his silent Doppelganger.
"What do you mean?"
"Well," said Scarlett, "you're going to have to have a different name. Can you pick one."
"Sure can," said Pyro number two.
"Oh, really?" asked Petra, her tone mocking. "What are you going to be called then, Flame-Boy?"
"Ooh, ooh!" shouted Pyro's Doppelganger, bouncing up and down with his hand in the air. "I can be Flame-Boy! I can be Flame-Boy!"
"Fine then," said an exasperated Lance, over the giggles of pretty much everyone else.
"Okay," said Flame-Boy (now remember, this is the Doppelganger here talking), "what are we going to do?"
What indeed.
