Wow, so many reviews, I feel so loved. All requests are considered and if I can fit them into the story, I will (though they might not be for a few chapters). So many of you wonder about Forge, mowhahaha!
TheRP - Jamie and Torpid togetherness? Okey dokey then
Goddessofdarkness3 - Father/son mixup? You got it!
BaronOBeefDip - One teenaged shapeshifter, all for you!
Rurouni Tyriel - And an all grown up X23 for you!
Draco-luver - Mmm inhaling keyboards can't be good for your health ;) Shaving, mirrors and pimples? Oh my!

Chapter 2 - A messy mess

"Owwwww!"
Jamie paused from where he had been attempting to shave....considering he hadn't been mentally prepping himself for this experience for quite a few years yet, it wasn't supprising his face looked like Freddy Kruger had tried to play a tune on his cheeks. He gave a wince, putting yet another little toilet paper square on his face...it was starting to look like a bizare mosaiac.
"I really can't do this", he muttered, putting the razor down.
He strolled out of the bathroom, his new beard completely uneven. Logan sighed sadly, stroking his own even and clean chin.
"I miss my stubble", he sighed.
Logan paused when his hand rubbed against something...something...round and...squishy. He ran into the bathroom, seeing a big, red pimple forming on his chin.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!", he said, "why doesn't my healing factor sort this out? Stupid useless!!!".
SNIKT.
After he had made a nice, big hole in the wall, Logan left, deciding to let in the 'guests', only to find Storm had beaten him to it.
"Hello", she said duly, then blinked at the people asembled, "Pietro, why are you leading the Acolytes?"
"I'm not Pietro", replied Magneto, before giving a happy giggle, "she thinks I'm Pietro".
Storm growled, crossing her arms.
"You sure LOOK like Pietro".
"I'm Magneto!", said Magneto, "and I'll prove it!".
He turned around, waving a hand at the X-Van parked outside, the van shook, then stopped. Magneto narrowed his eyes and tried again, zippo.
"Well, DAMN!", he snapped.
"Hello Magnus", said Xavier with a sigh, "it appears that this...transformation has left us 'adults' with limited control of our powers, as we were when we were teenagers....Magus...are you even listening to me?"
Magneto wasn't, he was gawping at Xavier's head. It took him a few moments to compose a sentance.
"Hair...big...blonde...", was all the Master of Magnetism could manage, before collapsing in a fit of laughter on the floor.
"Well, at least I don't look like my son", said Xavier icly.
"Actually....", said Logan, cocking his ehad to the side, "ya kinda DO look like David..a bit".
This earned him a VERY sharp glare, before Xavier wheeled off in a huff.
"Nice zit, pizza face", said Sabertooth, pushing his way in.
"Oh shut up....kitten boy!", retored Logan.
*******
And so, slowly but surely, a few residents of Bayville started to make their way to the mansion. The Brotherhood appeared shortly after the Acolytes, with Pietro crying in tow. Alex, flown in from Hawaii by the terrified Masters's, kept trying to comb back his blonde hair, which had turned into a bush. Forge showed up after him, also 'adultified' and wearing a grin which suggested the guy had won a million bucks, a state of the art lab AND got a date with Jennifer Garner. The Morlocks were next up, shortly followed by an irate X23.
"Well, this is the suckiest day that ever sucked", she said moodily.
"I don't know", purred a Magneto-like Pietro, "I think you look hot"
SNIKT
"...Did I say hot?", stammered Pietro, backing away, "I meant grown up and...scary, very scary!!"
"That's better", growled X23, trying her best to stay in her now very tight- fitting costume.
"Please control yourself", said Xavier, "none of us are happy with this situtaion"
"I am", said Forge.
"Me too", said a younger and less monkey-like Jason.
"Ditto", grinned Magneto, admiring himself in a mirror, "who's hot? YOU ARE!"
Xavier wheeled slightly away from his old friend, shaking his head.
"Okay, so not ALL of us are happy with this", he corrected himself, "but we have to stay together on this one. If we fall apart, it all does. Let's learn from past experiences people"
"All past experience ever taught us was that none of us want any children, ever", said Kitty, crossing her arms.
Torpid, now a grown woman, waved a large hand in the air, then tried her best to mime 'gloves'. Her own were too small for her and she didn't want any...accidents. Unfortunately, the X-Men were bad at cherades...very bad at them.
"You want...a manicure?", tried Freddy.
Torpid shook her head.
"You....have cold hands?"
Torpid sighed, banging her head on the wall. Before blinking as Jamie held out a pair of gardening gloves Beast used when he wanted to be a gardener..before Storm had taken them off him, saying it was HER job, so there.
"Here you go", he said.
Torpid smiled and gave a nod of thanks, putting on the gloves.
"....So, he got the right thing", said Kurt, "he's twelve, of COURSE he can play cherades better than us"
"Hey guys", said Alex, clearing his throat, "when are we going to fix this....problem? I really want to go home"
The door SLAMMED open, and Mystique stormed in, a teenage Mystique.
"We all want to go home", she said, "look at me, I look a mess!!!"
Everyone blinked at her.
"You're a shapeshifter", said Hank slowly, "why don't you just...make yourself look like an adult?"
"Oh, I didn't think of THAT!", said Mystique, her voice dripping with venom, "I can't keep a shifted form for longer than a few minutes"
"Well, it looks like you're stuck with the rest of us", said Storm, giving a sad sigh, "I'm getting depressed and horomonal alread"y.
"No one is going to take us seriously", said Hank, shaking his head, "I'm supposed to be a guest speaker in a physics seminar tomorrow, how can I go looking like THIS?".
There was a sad slience between the adults for a while, before Forge cleared his throat, speaking solemely.
"Well, I would like to take this moment to say...", he paused, before pointing a finger at his fellow 'adults', "BWHOAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"......Forge....are you sane?", asked Xavier, then paused, "no..never mind, that was a stupid question"
"Now you guys know what it was like for me - Every. Waking. Moment. Of. My. Life!", said Forge, grinning smugly, "it's not fun, is it? IS IT?!!!!"
"...You're mean!", said Mystique, pouting, "aren't you even going to give a BIT of sympathy?"
"No", said Forge, "you want to know why? Because I didn't get any. It was just a 'too bad Forge, don't worry, you'll live through it'. Well, how the tables have turned".
"You're enjoying this way too much", muttered Hank.
"You bet I am", said Forge smugly, "for the first time in twenty years, I look my age, this is the greatest day ever!".
"You're not going to teach us how to cope with this...are you?", said Magneto, a little fear in his voice
"Nope", said Forge, smiling, "what I AM going to do is go out and reap the benifits of looking my agee. Catch ya later!".
With that, Forge headed for the door, only for it to be blocked by Logan
"Oh no ya don't", he said, popping out his claws, "you're staying right here".
"...Like the kids are?", said Forge, nodding at an open window, in which the last of the adultified teens were making an escape.
"...Awww CRUD!", said Logan.

Oh dear lord, they have escaped! What happens now? Their fates are in your hands...poor guys. Do review and request. Until next time...
