Aloo to all, my appologies for this beign late, but between holiday planning and my friends engagement party, things have been a wee bit hectic.

Seimosuchus - Sorry, no Azazel *shudder* one of the worst things Austin did to X-Men was that guy. Mmm tell me how the game works and I'll try to get it in, I'm afraid I'm not that 'up to date' in the gaming world.

Shanie S - I'm still on my Remy/Rogue ban, I'm afraid. There's still way too many of them out already ;)

Pirate Kit - Ahoy my fellow Forgeketer!...dont' ask where that came from, I don't know. Sabertooth bullying Logan? It is done

Ellen - One of Bobby's old comic girlfriends showing up? How can I resist?

Draco-Luver - Three words: Xavier, Pigtails, Done.

Chaotic Boredom - No fear, I too still like Evan, poor beat-up soul. Parents looking for their offspring, oh yey!

ASGT and Kat Maximoff - Scott with white hair! How could I fail Link and Lugi on that one? Heh heh heh.

Astrea - Dont' worry, Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spiderman shalt arrive soon (the Spider-Man guru, AKA my little brother is thinking up wicked things). But here's some Angel to bide the time :D

Dragonblond - More Jamie/Torpid cutness? You asked for it.

Lots of people have asked for Legion and someone losing their hair, I give you both!Many have also asked for a bar, now, would I really have one of these fics without someone attempting to get or getting drunk?. Bhwahaha!

Chapter 3 - New advantages.

******

"I can't believe they escaped!", said Hank, pacing up and down the floor, "how could they disregard the protocoll so willy-nilly?"

"Because they want to take advantage of this blessing and have fun", muttered Forge, from where he'd been tied to a chair, his binoic arm 'confiscated'.

"Quiet you", said Magneto, "you have to do something...invent a way out of this"

Forge stared at him for a long time.

"Okay, point one:", he said, "if I could have made something to change ages, don't you think I would have done it by now to get me out of the mess Middleverse left me in? And point two:....I don't wanna go back!".

"Oh, you're going back", growled Logan, "as soon as we find Seren, and you're gonna be happy about it"

"No, I won't", said Forge, then sighed, "can I at least have my arm back?"

"No", said Storm, "you'd escape!"

Forge blinked.

"My legs are fine, I can still run"

"Not if ya try it, ya won't", said Logan, popping out his claws.

"Okay, fine", said Forge, "keep me tied up, but I'm going to make you regret it"

"Ooooooh what are ya gonna do?", said Logan with mock fear, "invent me ta death?".

Forge glared at him, before clearing his throat and started to sing, loudly.

"This is the song that doesn't end, Yes it goes on and on, my friend, Some people started singing it not so long ago, And now they'll keep on singing it forever just because, This is the song that doesn't end, Yes it goes on and o.."

"It's not gonna work", said Logan, as Forge carried on obliviously.

Elsewhere, in a place not far from Bayville, Legion was panicking. Well, more correctly, David was panicking.

"I have no hair!!!!", he screamed, "I look like dad!!!!".

"Oh, shut up, you little whining", muttered Lucas, taking over.

He took one look at his Xavier-like (though this time with a beard) face and screamed. Ian, disgruntled by being woken up by his other personailities' screamings, took over for a brief second, and was quite surpised to find he resembled a cross between David and Lucas, aged. In short, he was a very handsome 28 year old, with gorgeous long blonde hair, a blonde goatee and a smile to die for. He pondered his new face from all angles, before nodding and starting to stroll off to explore the world.

'Hey, little buddy', came Lucas's voice somewhere in his phsyce, 'you gonna let me out now?'

Ian shook his head.

'Awww, come on!!!'

Another head shake.

'What about me?' , tried David.

Ian rolled his eyes, and carried on walking, heading towards Bayville.

'MUTINY!', screamed Lucas, 'let me back out right now, you little, mute, fire-starting freak!!'.

Ian started to humm to himself as he walked down the street, ignoring both his other physce's moanings.

The new 'adults' had meanwhile decided to all go their seperate ways, and explore the new adult world. Scott, finding his hair was steadily turning white for no apparent reason, had freaked out and chose to escape to Paul's house for refuge, Jean in hot persuit. Kurt had gone off to show Amanda his new 'look'. Everyone else, however, had opted to go to that one place they were forbidden before. The kareoke bar.

"A'h don't know about this guys", said Sam, looking at the sign outside, "a'h don't think this is right"

"Trust Mr Morality to ruin it", muttered Bobby, "I told you we should have left him with the stiffs. Geez, Sam, live a little!"

"Yeah", said Tabby, "go wild for once, you don't know how to have a good time".

"A'h DO know how to have a good time", Sam said with a sniff.

"Okay then, prove it", said Tabby, with a smirk.

"A'h will", said Sam, marching off into the bar.

"Oh yeah, this is gonna be fuuuuuun", snikered Tabby, following after him.

"Party, party, party!", sang Pyro, "come on baby light my fire!"

With that, they all entered the bar, Jamie making a point of holding the door open for Torpid, who blushed and smiled. Inside, Bobby had decided to go onto smoosing around...that was until he run into a familiar face.

"Bobby Drake!".

Bobby stopped dead, before giving a nervous chuckle, waving a hand at a green-haired girl.

"Lorna!", he said with a squeak, "....hi?".

Lorna frowned at him, crossing her arms.

"Don't you 'hi' me, mister, where've you been all this time?!", she snapped.

"Err....here?", tried Bobby weakly, "waiting for you".

Lorna gave a snort, and stormed past him. Alex blinked once, before grinning and running after her.

"Hi there", he said with his best smile, "can I buy you a drink?"

Lorna frowned.

"I'd rather have the money", she said, walking past him and sitting at the bar.

"Hah!", laughed Bobby, "she turned you doooooowwn!".

"She hasn't had the whole Masters charm yet, that's all", said Alex, "I'll win her over yet"

"Dude, she's my ex!", said Bobby.

"I know", smirked Alex, sauntering off.

"You are aware, that this means war", said Bobby.

"And now they'll keep on singing it forever just because, This is the song that doesn't end, Yes it goes on and on my..."

"FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY, STOP!!!!".

After a good hour of 'The song that doesn't end', Logan had finally lost the plot.

"You going to let me go now?", asked Forge, well prepared to sing more.

Logan gave a defeated sigh, slicing through the rope holding Forge to the chair with his claws.

"Logan, you're letting him go!", snapped Mystique, crossing her arms.

"I can't take anymore Lambchop, I can't!!!", said Logan, then began to cry, "the sock is evil"

Everyone blinked at him for a long, long time. Sabertooth was the first to speak.

"...You're afraid'a Lambchop?".

"It's not funny", sniffed Logan

Sabertooth grinned happily at this brand new information.

"Awwww, little Logey-Wogy's afraid of a Socky-Wocky", he said, patting Logan on the head, "pooor little runt".

"Shut up, Sabertooth", growled Logan.

"Make me, short-stuff", said Sabertooth, flicking Logan on the head with a finger, "loo-hoo-ser-her, loo-hoo-ser-her".

"Quit it!!", said Logan, sniffing, "you're big and MEAN!".

"BOYS!!", snapped Mystique, "stop fighting NOW!!!!"

"Yes, Mystique, sorry Mystique", said the pair in unison, before pulling faces at each other when her back was turned.

It was then the door opened to reveal Angel....completely and utterly untouched.

"Why the heck did you get away scott-free?!!!", snapped Storm, pointing a finger at him.

Warren furrowed his brow.

"Get away with what...scary teenage lady?"

"Get away with not being changed", said Xavier wheeling up.

Warren turned to see Xavier, took one look at his hair, screamed and promptly fell backwards, backpeadling away, not an easy task with wings.

"Arrgghhh!!! Teenagers taken over the Intsitute!!!!" screamed Warren, "Help! Help!!!"

"Warren...it's me, Charles", said Xavier with a sigh, shaking his head, "twit"

Warren blinked.

"Charles....but you're...you have....".

"Hair, I know", said Xavier, shaking his head.

"..The word I was looking for was 'pigtails' actually", said Warren

Xavier blinked.

"WHAT?!!!".

"I got...err...bored", said Storm with a chuckle, before hiding behind a chair.

"Seren paid us another visit", said Hank to Warren for explanation.

"You think we look funny, wait until you see Forge", snorted Mystique, then blinked, "hey...where is Forge?"

Xavier put his head to his temple before sighing frustratedly.

"He's found his arm and run away", he said, "he says 'Check ya later, Jive Turkeys'".

"Well, this day couldn't get any worse, could it?", said Hank with an exasperated sigh.

There was a knock at the door, and Jason walked through a few minutes later with Mr and Mrs Pryde.

"We've come to find....Kitty?", said Mr Pryde, trailing off when he saw Xavier.

Whump. Mrs Pryde was out cold. Yes, apparently things COULD get worse.

Tee hee, it's fun making Mrs Pryde pass out! Send in those requests and reviews. Until next time...
