NOTE: I know Mystique isn't their principal anymore but I decided to make her the principal anyway. ^^
Chapter Two: The New Students
Colossus snickered. At the look on the two's faces, how could he resist?
"What are you snickering about?!" Magneto snapped as he whisked his head to face Piotr.
"You're going too!"
Piotr's jaw dropped all the way to the floor. If the floor weren't there, it would've reached even lower.
It was Gambit and Pyro's turn to snicker.
Magneto merely smacked his hand on his forehead and sighed. He looked up into the sky; through the now open ceiling, and mouthed, 'Why me?'
~*~*~*~*~
It was the next day already, the day when the three young Acolytes were to go to school.
"I don't wanna go to school!" Pyro whined like a little boy as he was being pulled into the car, which would bring him to his doom. The car also contained two more sulking Acolytes, namely, Gambit and Colossus.
Since they were going to a supposedly normal school, they were told to wear normal clothes as well. John was wearing a red, checkered button-up shirt along with khaki cargo pants. (A/N: LOL. A bit nerdy, yes. But think about it...It kinda fits him.)
Remy was wearing a loose black shirt along with khaki cargo pants. (A/N: Does it look good? I wouldn't know. I don't have that good a fashion sense...)
Piotr, meanwhile, was wearing a loose blue shirt along with khaki cargo pants. (A/N: LOL. KHAKI CARGO PANTS!!! EVERYONE'S wearing cargo! *grins*)
"I don't wanna! I don't wanna!"
John had his hands wrapped around the pole of the streetlight. Magneto was gripping his legs and pulling hard, into the direction of the open door of the awaiting car.
After a few more unsuccessful attempts at pulling John into the car, Magneto sighed and with a wave of his hand, Pyro's hands unwillingly let go of the streetlight. Pyro flew into the car and landed hard on his bottom between the other two.
"We'll have to do away with this as well," Magneto added. With another wave of his hand, Pyro's flame-throwers were un-buckled from his back. John closed his fits in an attempt to keep the gloves on.
"Sorry Pyro, but those have metal too." And his flame-throwers flew into the house.
"BUT-!" Pyro protested. This wasn't fair! First, they force him to go to school. Second, they make him wear normal clothes. And lastly, they take away his flame-throwers!
"No but's!" Magneto said before John could continue.
"Aww..." Pyro said as he crossed his arms and pouted.
"It's all right, John," Gambit soothed. "If it makes you feel any better, they took away my cards, too."
~*~*~
"No using of your powers. Treat your peers and teachers with respect. No using of your powers. Don't make fun of the other mutants. No using of your powers. And please, no bullying. And remember, absolutely no using of your powers," Magneto continued dictating the 'rules' as he drived the young Acolytes towards Bayville High.
Colossus sighed. "Can't you give us a break? All you need to say now is for us to stop living."
Magneto rolled his eyes. "If I said that, then there would be no point of bringing you to school."
"Exactly."
Pyro shifted uncomfortably in his seat as he stuck his hand in the collar of his shirt in an attempt to loosen it.
"What's wrong with you?" Piotr asked.
"This shirt is too damn tight!" Pyro replied and proceeded to unbutton all the buttons of his shirt.
"Aaah!!!" Piotr shrieked. Gambit switched his attention from the window to Colossus, who had his eyes shut and covered then to Pyro who was still unbuttoning his shirt.
"My eyes!!!" Gambit screamed, covering his eyes with his hands then turning away.
For a second, Magneto swerved off-course then immediately returned the car to the center of the road. He took a quick glance to the back of the car then shouted as he returned his attention to the road, "John! Don't strip in here!"
"What are you all shouting about?" Pyro asked once he was done with all the buttons. "I have a shirt underneath," he explained.
Slowly, Colossus and Gambit uncovered their eyes then looked at Pyro. His red button-up shirt was completely open and he had a white shirt underneath.
"Oh...You could've told us sooner, you know," the two simply said then resumed their sulking.
Gambit continued staring blankly out the window... Until something, or rather, someone, caught his eye.
"Hey boss," he called to Magneto who was in the drivers seat.
Magneto stopped the car in front of the school and replied, "What is it now?"
"Isn't that and X-Geek?" he asked, pointing to a girl with long brown hair tied into a ponytail. She seemed to be walking with someone... "And isn't that the furry dude?"
Magneto followed Gambit's gaze. "Why, yes they are."
"Cool," Gambit said with a grin. "I'll go torment them." And he grabbed his backpack then pushed the door open and jumped out.
"Remember to go to the principal's office!" Magneto called out to him. Gambit turned around just long enough to give him the salute before continuing on his way towards his unsuspecting victims.
Pyro sighed and swung his backpack over his right shoulder. Then a certain attractive girl with flaming red hair caught his eye. Somehow, he was interested in knowing who she was.
"Bye boss!" he said to Magneto and jumped out.
"I guess I'll be going too, then," Colossus sighed.
"Please, please watch them," Magneto begged. "Make sure they don't do anything stupid."
"Oh, like what they're doing now?" Piotr replied.
The master of magnetism looked out the car window and saw John with his arm slung around a girl's shoulder. The boy who was with the girl was apparently trying his best not to punch the grin off John's face. Magneto sighed.
'Great,' he thought. 'First day of school and he's already picking up women.' He glanced again at the red haired teen and thought, 'And he's choosing X-Men, nonetheless...'
He then turned his attention to Remy, who appeared to be scaring the heck out of the brown haired girl whilst the boy she was with was glaring at Remy. Magneto sighed exasperatedly for the umpteenth time that day.
"Just make sure they don't go overboard," he finally said to Colossus.
"You don't know how hard that is. Remember, there are two of them and only one of me," Piotr replied.
Magneto gave him the look that plainly said, 'Disobey me and you die.'
"I'll see what I can do," Piotr quickly replied before jumping out of the car.
Gambit motioned for Piotr to follow him and John. The three then walked towards Rogue and Wanda. The platinum haired adult sighed and pitied his young Acolytes for choosing such victims.
He slowly shook his head and asked himself, "I wonder how long they'll be able to last in there..."
~*~
"Hey!" Pyro greeted the red haired teen as he slung his arm around her shoulders.
The aforementioned teen turned her head around to see who owned the arm, which was currently around her shoulders.
"Pyro?!" The teen asked in absolute shock.
John looked at her suspiciously. "How'd you know my name?"
Rolling her eyes, the girl replied, "You're part of Magneto's team, right?"
"Oh," John said, contemplating on her answer. "Wait, you're not part of the X-Geeks, are you?"
"It's the 'X-Men'," the boy who was with the girl cut in. He held his shades as if to say 'Say more insults and I blow your neck off.'
"Oops," Pyro said, merely grinning. The brown haired boy glared at him, using all his might not to strangle him.
"Hey John!" Gambit called out. Pyro took off his arm from its perch on the girl's shoulders and ran off to where Gambit was.
The girl sighed. "Great, even Gambit's here..."
"I know. What are they doing here?"
~*~
"Heya Wanda!" Pyro greeted.
"What are you doing here?" Wanda asked with disgust at the sight of the three of them.
"Aww...Is that how you treat your friends?" Gambit added with a smirk.
"Oh I know who my friends are and you lot ain't any of them," Wanda said, narrowing her eyes.
The three pretended to get hurt by her statement.
Rogue rolled her eyes, "What are you three doing here, anyway?" she asked, crossing her arms.
"Yeah. Are you looking for trouble?" Wanda threatened.
"Whoa. Chill out, mate," Pyro said defensively.
"Just answer the question!" Wanda snapped. Several street lamps popped behind her.
"Whoa. Okay, calm down," Gambit started. "The boss got fed up with us and decided to send us here."
"You mean got fed up with you two," Colossus cut in.
"Hey!" Pyro defended. "It's one for all and all for one!" he added.
"Yeah, well I didn't do nothing!" Piotr argued.
"Will the three of you shut up?!" Rogue spat.
Ignoring her, the two continued to argue, now with Gambit in the argument.
"I'm only here to watch over the two of you!" Piotr said.
"Yeah, well you're doing a sucky job!"
"Well both of you aren't behaving yourselves!"
"Yes, we are!"
"No, you are not!"
"We are!"
"You are not!"
"Are!"
"Not!"
"Are!"
"Not!"
"SHUT UP!!!" Wanda screamed. The fire hydrant blew up, several cars moved forward a few feet, and more streetlights popped.
The Acolytes finally took the hint and backed away; even Rogue saw Wanda's temper rising several notches and moved away from her.
"If the three of you are going to stay here, you should make sure to KEEP OUT OF MY SIGHT or you're going to regret you ever lived!!!"
Pyro laughed nervously and gulped...Then took off for the principal's office.
"Hey, wait for us!" Gambit and Colossus called out, following suit.
Wanda breathed deeply for a few seconds.
"Now, Wanda...Remember Anger Management class..." Rogue soothed, resuming her place beside her friend.
Wanda closed her eyes and counted from 1 to 10. "8...9...10..." She opened her eyes and smiled. "All better!"
~*~*~*~*~
"I see Magneto was finally forced to bring you lot to my school," Principal Raven Darkholme A.K.A. Mystique mused. "What did you do?" she asked.
"Blew up the ceiling," Gambit simply said.
"Hm...I see," Mystique said. She wanted to ask how many times but decided against it. "Now, to give you your schedules," she opened a drawer on her desk and took out three sheets.
"I took the liberty to arrange your classes so you'll all be in the same one," she continued as she handed the sheets out.
"Um...Thanks?" Piotr said, unsure of what to say.
"Now, just promise me that you'll behave yourselves," Mystique said, a hint of pleading in her voice.
The three Acolytes merely grinned, waved to her, then walked out the door.
Mystique sighed. "I'm getting the feeling this won't be the last time I'll see them in my office..." She muttered.
