Aloo my dear readers, no more alternaltive characters now, but there is ANOTHER Marvel character making an appearance in this chapter.

Rurouni Tyriel - Ahh easily explained. I know of Dani and Legion because I've read them in the comics, whereas I haven't really read any Wolverine- related comics, and so have no clue who these Hydra people are. But info would be greatly appreciated, then I can stick 'em in :D

ASGT - Sorry, no Remy fighting Pyro for Rogue, that would be Romy.

Millenium Mutant - Rietro, huh? Wow, Rogue's turning out to be quite the hussy, isn't she? ;)

Chaotic Boredom - It was Forge and Wanda that got locked up in 'The Cure'

Draco-luver - Someone should have a fear of Sporks? Okay, but mainly because it's one of my favorite words, it's so fun to say! Spork! Nate and Forge go to a carnival? Okey dokey!

Nessie6 - One Lancitty moment coming up!

Archmagus - Your request wasn't ignored, only kept. I couldn't fit it into the last chapter, but ne'h fear, Magneto hitting on chicks is in this one ;)

Risty - Mystique beating Storm for Forge? After reading the last Mystique arc, I think I can do that. M: 'Ooooh you want to get all sweaty back at the safehouse?' F: 'I'm just going to pretend I didn't hear that'.

Shanie S - Nate is his normal teenage self. Xavier in the X games? Logan and Sabes lost! Oh boy!

Descendent - Precarious positions are always the best, particually if Jean and Scott are in them.

Chapter 7 - Hormones go awry

**

Stuart gave a happy sigh as he stood behind the counter of the gut bomb. He'd quit his old job as deliverly boy after that....mutant buisness. At least he knew there wouldn't be any mutants here. He was wrong.

"Here we are, sir"

Stuart blinked as two teenagers walked in, one with tattoo's over his face and another with a slightly blue tinge to his skin. Stuart cleared his throat, giving a smile. The customer was always right, the customer was always right.

"Hi there, welcome to the Gut Bomb, how may I help you today?"

Apocalypse leaned forward, squinting at Stuarts nametag.

"Hello St-u-art", he said, "My manservant here tells me that I can find fa- st food here".

Stuart blinked. Oh boy.

"Yes", said Stuart, "this is a fast food establishment. May I take your order?".

Apocalypse blinked.

"Yes"

Stuart waited for a while.

"What IS your order?", he finally prompted.

"I think you're supposed to pick something from the menu, sir", said Mesmero helpfully, pointing at the lit-up menu above the counter.

"Oh", said Apocalypse, looking up, "I wish to consume the....Gut Bomb Deu- lxe, Fish-Surpise, Chicken Oh-Oh's and an Apple...Crumble"

"Okay", said Stuart, tapping in the order, "would you like a soft drink with that?"

Apocalypse blinked again. Soft Drink? How could a drink be soft? He looked at the menu intitled 'soft drink'.

"I shall have a.... Pep-see", he said with a nod.

"Normal, Diet or Max?", asked Stuart.

"All three?", tried Apocalypse.

"Oookey dokey", said Stuart, arching a brow and typing in the order, "and what would your friend like to eat?"

"He is not my friend", said Apocalypse, "he is my manservant. He does not deserve to eat".

"I am...rather hungry, sir", tried Mesmero with a whimper.

"Oh, okay!", snapped Apocalypse, "he shall have a Super-Smiley-Me-al".

Stuart nodded, running off to get the orders, piling them onto a tray and handing them to Apocalypse.

"That will be twenty five fifty".

Apocalypse blinked.

"Pardon?"

"You need to pay", said Stuart.

"Apocalypse doesn't pay anything!!!", BELLOWED Apocalypse, bringing his free fist down on the counter, smashing it in two, "I should have your head for your inocelence!!!"

Stuart squeaked, backing away.

"Err...it's on me", he said, as he watched Apoclaypse move over to the table, making Mesmero sit on the floor to have his own food, "have a nice day"

**

"We're lost"

Logan gave a low growl, his hands clenching the steering wheel of the X- Van.

"I am NOT lost"

"Yes we are", repeated Sabertooth, "I said I should have drove. You can't even see over the steering wheel!"

"I can see just fine!", snapped Logan.

It was then the van suddenly bumped over something. Logan stopped the van as Sabertooth stuck his head out of the window.

"Did we hit a deer?", asked Logan.

Sabertooth arched a brow as Mystique danced away from the van, singing 'I Win'. He glanced at the back of the van and grimaced.

"No...we didn't hit a deer"

**

Xavier gave a whimper. How had he ended up HERE? Oh wait, yes, that was it, he chose to buddy up with Magneto. That was a stupid misake, Charles. He shifted in a sports wheelchair, looking worriedly down at the half-pipe that lay under him.

"And now a newcommer to the X Games!", said an anouncer with a grin, "the Chuckinator!"

Xavier shuddered.

"Magnus, this was not a good idea".

"Oh, shush", said Magneto from where he was flirting with a girl, "just, go for it"

With a metalic hum, the wheelchair leapt off the side, tumbling down the halfpipe, Xavier's screams following it. Magneto ignored it, turning to smile at the girl.

"So, as I was saying...", he said, before something WHACKED him from behind, "what the?"

A VERY angry girl stood galring at him.

"Pietro Maximoff, how DARE you!", she said, "you didn't return any of my calls, you said it was a special night!"

"I...err..", Magneto backed away,. "that wasn't me, it was my son!"

"That's a lame excuse!", said another girl, storming in through the crowd, "I bet you can't even remember my name!"

"Lets get him!", said another.

Magneto gave a whimper.

"Magnus, help!!!", screamed Xavier as his wheelchair sailed over their heads.

"Every man for himself, Charles!", said Magneto, running away from the mob of angry girls chasing him.

**

Meanwhile, the true Pietro Maimoff had limped back to the kareoke bar. He hurt in places he didn't even know existed. He stopped dead when he saw Rogue palying with Pyro's hair.

"Now wait just a minute!", he said, marching forward, "why are you with that guy....and why isn't he unconcious?"

"A'h got control of ma'h power", said Rogue, then paused, "a'h wanted someone to help me take advantage of it before I get changed back".

Pietro looked flat out hurt.

"And you didn't come to ME? The KING of one night stands?!!"

"A'h couldn't find you", said Rogue, then smiled coyly, "but you're here now"

"What about me?", said Pyro with a whimper.

Pietro scooped Rogue up in his arms, pulling out a spork from one of the bar tables, weilding it like a sword.

"Back off, Aussie!"

Pyro took one look at the spork, screamed bloody murder and ran for it. Pietro blinked, looking at his weapon.

"I guess the spork is mightier than the sword", he said, before running off with Rogue in his arms.

**

"Always look on the bright side of life, do do deo do de do de do".

Jason grimaced as Hank sang at the top of his lungs as they drove Xavier's Bentley around, trying to find the escaped teens. Quite frankly, he was getting sick of his company. He closed his eyes, taking another mental scan of the area.

"Hey, I got two!", he said, "turn right!".

Hank grinned, swerving the car down a road before stopping. Both adults got out, glancing around.

"I don't see them", said Hank.

"They're here", said Jason, narrowing his eyes.

There was suddenly a giggle from the bushes at the side of the road. Jason's eyes widened, and he ran off, screaming. Hank blinked.

"What a strange man", he said, glancing behind the bush, to see Jean and Scott in a VERY percarious position, "WHA?!!!"

Jean sat up very quickly, straightening out the few clothes she was still wearing.

"Scott was helping me find my...err....hair pin".

**

"Wow, you're REALLY good at carnival games, Forge!"

Forge chuckled as Nate followed him, the kid covered with prizes.

"Hey, some people have it, some don't", said Forge with a grin, "I didn't spend my teenage years avoiding learning for nothing!"

"Foooooorge!"

Forge blinked as Mystique ran over to him.

"Storm said I could win", she said, grabbing his arm, "come on lets go, now, now now!"

Forge blinked.

"She...did?", he said, then pouted, "awww, I'd have thought she'd put up a better fight than that"

"Well, she didn't", said Mystique, "she gave up really quickly"

Mystique decided not to mention the reason Storm had 'given up' was because she had been tossed in front of a speeding vehicle. She grinned, dragging Forge off. Nate watched them go.

"I'll just...wait here, should I?"

**

"Oh, Lance, this was a great idea", said Kitty, leaning on his arms.

"Really? It's just the Gut Bomb", said Lance.

"But we're eating here together", she said with a happy sigh.

"Are you drunk, Kitty?", asked Lance.

"A little bit".

Lance gave a nervous laugh, walking in. He blinked as he watched Apocalpyse tossing bits of food at Mesmero, who caught them from where he sat on the floor, eating the morsels greatfully.

"No more mutants!", screamed Stuart, seeing the pair coming, "I quit this job, quit it!!!"

With that, he ran out of the door, pushing back an adult Peter Parker on the way.

"Err...hi", said Peter, waving at Lance and Kitty, "I've had a bit of an...err..accident"

Stuart, in case you are all wondering has appeared in another of my fics 'While the Adults are Away'. He'll appear in random fics from time to time The scene's with Apoclaypse thinking Mesmero unworthy of a meal are inspired by the movie 'Just Visiting'. And there's another chapter down. Please do send in those requests. Until next time..
