Hey all! I told you the fifth chapter would be up soon!! So here it is!
Also, I realized I forgot to ask which group you would like to be in.
Because I'm weird like that. Anyways, the couples have been set.
Lance/Kitty, Logan/Ororo, Evan/Rogue, Sam/Rahne, Amara/Ray, Kurt/Denise,
Adolf/Wanda, James/Tabitha, Amber/St John,Darcy/Scott, Ryka/Todd,
Yesima/Remy, Christina/Bobby, and Jennifer/Pietro. The first five couples
are the only ones that don't have OCs in them, so that's who won. Sorry if
you didn't.
Lance was walking through the mall with an excited grin plastered on his face. He'd just picked up Kitty's gift and couldn't wait until Tuesday. He hoped she'd like it. He was heading back to his jeep when he heard a familiar voice.
"Lance? Is that you?"
He looked up to see a petite woman about five foot four standing in front of him. She had dark brown hair and bright green eyes. She was rather thin. He smiled slightly.
"Hey Aunt Michelle. Yeah, it's me."
Her eyes brightened. "Adam! Come over here! You'll never guess who I ran into!" She had turned around to talk to someone behind her. She turned back towards Lance. "And please dear, call me Aunt Mikki. Michelle makes me feel so old.
A man about a good foot taller than her appeared at her side. He had dirty blonde hair and sky dark green eyes. "Well, hello there, boy. How've you been?"
"I've been alright, I guess."
"We see you've escaped that horrid foster home that wouldn't allow you to contact us," Michelle said.
"Yeah, I live with some friends now," he replied. 'Thanks for the save, Denny-girl,' he thought to himself.
"Where's Denise at?" Michelle asked, trying to look for her daughter around Lance.
"She's not here. She's at the house hangin' out with Wanda. Don't worry, I'll get her home soon."
"Alright. Remember you're always welcome at our house."
"I will Aunt Mikki."
"Are you going to pick Denise up for school in the morning?" Adam asked.
"I got expelled. The principal didn't like the kind of person I am, I guess."
Adam's brows furrowed together. "Well, I'll call the school tonight and see what I can do."
Lance smiled a bit nervously. "Okay, thanks Uncle Adam."
"We'll see you later, dear!" Michelle called as they walked away.
Lance sighed. If Principal Kelly told them he was a mutant, they wouldn't let him see Denise ever again. He hoped everything would be alright.
"Well, you gonna knock?" Jamie asked.
"Yeah, thanks for showin' me where it was."
"You're welcome," he replied, beaming brightly. "See you later!" He waved and ran off down the hall.
She lifted her hand, then dropped it to her side. She sighed and raised it once more, knocking firmly. She heard Kurt say, "Coming!" from the other side of the door, so she waited patiently. When the door opened, pale yellow collided with emerald green.
"Dee?"
"Hey Fuzzy. I'm here to get my bag."
"Oh, come in zen."
He held the door open wide enough for her to enter. She walked in looking around and sat down at his desk. She looked down at the half finished math homework as he closed the door.
"I hope I didn't disturb ya."
"Nien. I vas just trying to figure it out."
He walked over to his closet and began digging in the top. Denise turned her attention towards the math paper on the desk. She smiled when she realized that she knew how to do it. She heard Kurt mumbling some things in German, but didn't really pay attention. She grabbed the nearest clean sheet of paper and began writing down the steps needed to solve the problem. Her handwriting was straight and neat, not bubbly like most girls.
"I found it!" she heard Kurt exclaim as he came over to her, holding her bag. "You know how to do zis stuff?"
She looked up, finally realizing that she had been doing his homework. "Uh, yeah. Math is a passion of mine. It's really simple, actually. Want me to show ya?"
Kurt's face brightened as he sat the bag down beside the chair. "Ja! Let me got get another chair." He 'ported away and Denise continued writing. He was back in a few seconds with a chair from the dining room. He sat it down beside Denise's chair. He grabbed a clean sheet of paper and another pen.
"Vhat's first?"
"Alright, follow these steps and I'll tell you if you're doin' anything wrong, 'kay?"
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
He began working through the steps Denise had written down. He only messed up a few times, but Denise stopped him before he got too into the problem to fix it. In a few minutes, he had all his homework done.
"Vielen Dank! That was getting rather annoying."
She smiled as she stood up, picking up her bag. "Told ya there was nothin' to it."
"Um, Denise? About how I acted yesterday. I feel really bad about it. I guess I've been hangin' around Scott a little too much."
"It's okay, Fuzzy. I kinda understand what you were goin' through. So, I'll tell ya what, help me find my way around school, and we'll almost be even."
"Almost?"
"Yeah, you gotta help me prove Lance and the others can be trusted. Well, most of the others."
"I'll try my best."
"Alright then, you got a deal." She stuck her hand out and he shook it firmly. "See you in school Fuzzy."
"Ja, see you zen."
She walked over to the door and opened it. She stepped out into the hall and waved bye before shutting the door. She looked down at her watch and her eyes widened. 'Please don't let Lance be outside waiting,' she prayed. She ran down the hall, noticing Evan coming out of his room right before she reached the steps.
"Evan! Let me borrow your skate board real quick! I won't break it, I promise."
"Okay, when will you give it back?"
"Tomorrow at school."
He nodded and tossed it to her right when she got to the steps. She jumped up and stuck the board under her feet right before hitting the stair rail. She heard Evan shouting that that was totally awesome as she grinded down the rail, landing on the floor in the foyer. She mentally cursed herself for not thinking ahead to the fact that the door was closed. She was about to smash into it when it opened to reveal Jean. Jean barely had time to get out of the way before Denise plowed her down. Denise smirked as she skated down the sidewalk to the gate. Sure enough, Lance was waiting. The gate opened, probably by someone on the inside.
"Where were you?"
"Tutoring somebody," she replied, hopping off the board as it slowed to a stop. She picked it up and walked through the open gate. She placed the skate board in the back of the jeep and hopped in the passenger side. "Onward to my house, good sir."
"As you wish, ma'am. That would be on what street?"
She laughed as she gave him her address. When he took off, she turned around to look at the mansion. She saw Logan on the porch glaring at her, with Evan, Kitty, and Kurt beside him. The three teens were trying to keep from laughing, though. She shrugged her shoulders, then blew a kiss for dramatic effect. She laughed when she saw Logan smirk a tiny bit. She turned around to find Lance looking at her.
"What was that about?"
She hitched her thumb towards the skate board. "Kinda grinded the stair railing back there. When I realized it was so late, I got in a rush."
"Like you usually do," he accused.
She grinned. "You know me way too well, Lance Alvers."
"I have to. It's my job as an older cousin."
She smiled. "You mean, the brother I never had."
Lance smiled. "Yeah, something like that." He then remembered what had happened at the mall. "Your dad said that he was gonna call the principal to try and get me back in school. Can you see if he can get the others in?"
"Sure, no prob." She noticed he wanted to say something else. "Afraid he'll tell Dad you're a mutant?"
Lance nodded. "thanks for covering for me." When she gave him a quizzical look, he sighed. "When you told them the foster home I was in wouldn't let me contact you guys."
"It wasn't a problem. You're my cousin. I didn't want to loose ya, ya know? When I discovered my powers, I realized that must've been why you didn't want to come back. I knew my parents would flip, I had seen their reactions to the news broadcast."
"You mean, the one Kitty was on?" She nodded. "Denise, how did they find out?"
"I was invited to a school dance by this guy named Kyle. He was really popular and I was surprised and somewhat excited that he had invited me. I got all dressed up and everything. Everything was goin' fine until he got onstage and announced that he was only with me because he lost a bet with his friends. I was pissed. You remember my best friend, Drew?" At his nod, she continued. "He was there. He asked me what was wrong with my eyes, but I wasn't paying attention. The ground built up and then lava finally pushed through. I remember feeling like something was calling to me or I was calling to it, I couldn't figure it out at first. It flowed towards Kyle and his buddies. The gym went up in flames from the heat of the lava. Kyle and his friends were injured some, but no one was killed. Drew helped me outside, telling me I reminded him of a volcano he'd learned about called Vesuvius. His parents snatched him away, saying he didn't need to hang around a mutie. I passed out after that and awoke in the hospital. My back hurt like hell. The nurse told me I would have a scar for the rest of my life. I needed quite a lot of stitches. Mom and Dad made plans to move here to get away from all the controversy."
"Why here?"
"Don't you remember? This is where mom and Uncle Tony grew up."
At the mention of his father, Lance tensed, but soon relaxed. He pulled up to Denise's house and turned off the engine. He reached over to hug his cousin, smiling a little when she returned it.
"It's okay, Denny-girl. I promise I'll always be there for you. Even if no one else is."
She smiled, though she had tears brimming her eyelids. He hadn't called her Denny-girl since she was little. "Thanks Lance. You're the best cousin a girl could have."
"Call me when your folks get an answer on the school thing, alright?"
"You know I will." She blinked back the tears and hopped out, grabbing the skate board and her bag. She waved as she ran up to the front door. When she was in and he was sure she was safe, Lance drove away.
At the Brotherhood house, Adolf was in his room, staring at the ceiling. He was thinking about the other occupants of the house. Todd was quite annoying, but he could tolerate him. Fred was rather hard to ignore, but Adolf managed. Pietro was an egocentric who's ego rivaled his own. Lance was alright as far as company goes. Wanda was an unusual girl, but he found her kind of pretty. Denise was happy and hyper, but he had no problems with her. He sighed as he prepared for another sleepless night. Hopefully there was an all night coffee shop around here somewhere.
Todd was down stairs waiting for Lance to get home so he could see what he got Kitty. Maybe if he took some tips from Lance, he could get Wanda to return his feelings. He then remembered what Denise had said and sighed, hopping up the stairs. He entered his room and glanced around before hopping into bed. He wasn't really tired, but he decided to go to sleep anyways.
Wanda had long since gone to bed and Pietro was once again talking on his cell phone. This time he was talking to Remy Lebeau, one of his father's Acolytes. Remy Lebeau and St John Allerdyce would be coming to stay with the Brotherhood for a while, due to some feuds between them and Sabertooth. After getting all the details, he hung up and turned out his lights. He went to sleep once again dreaming of blonde kleptos.
Fred was heading up to his room when Lance came in. He merely waved and kept walking. He was rather tired and didn't really want to converse with anyone. Lance honored Fred's wishes and headed for his own room after grabbing the house phone. He entered and shut the door behind him. After placing Kitty's gift in a special place, he got ready for bed. He sat the phone on his nightstand and waited.
Denise was waiting for an answer in her room, which was once again on the second story. Her mom had been able to keep her job, dispite the move and was already planning another trip away from home. She heard her dad yelling, so she snuck out of her room to see what was going on. She saw her parents in the den.
"I don't care what kind of person my nephew is, Principal Kelly! I want you to allow him and his friends back into the school! Do you understand me?"
He stopped talking for a while, before he grinned at both Denise and Michelle, giving them a thumbs up. Denise jumped up and down quietly.
"Thank you, sir," he said, then hung up. "Well, Dee, everyone living with your cousin has permission to enroll, although we are not allowed to enroll them."
"I can handle that, Daddy. Thank you so much! By the way, what kind of person did he say Lance was?"
"I don't know. I didn't let him finish. It sounded like he was about to say menace, but even menaces deserve an education.
"I gotta call Lance and tell him the good news."
With that, Denise ran back up to her room, where she had her own phone line. She quickly dialed the number Lance had given her and waited. He picked up on the third ring.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Hey Lance! It's Dee. You and everyone living with you is back in school! I gotta make one more phone call, but I'm sure it's in the bag. You gonna pick me up?"
"Uh, the jeep'll be kinda full. Can you arrange a ride with Scott?"
"I thought he was your arch-enemy?"
"Yeah, well, I trust Kitty, and she always rides with Scott."
"Alright, just show up tomorrow, 'kay?"
"Yeah, see you then. Bye."
"Later!"
She hung up and quickly dialed another number. This time she had to wait until the fifth ring.
"Hello, Xavier Institute," Scott's voice rang through.
"Hey, Scottie. I know you don't think you can trust me, but can I get a ride to school in the mornin'?"
Scott sighed. "Yeah, you can. And I'm sorry about what I said. I tend to overreact when it comes to things involving Alvers."
"It's alright. Can I talk with the Prof?"
"Yeah, here he is."
She only had to wait for a few seconds.
"Hello, Denise."
"Hey Prof. Sorry about the stair railing. Promise to never do it again."
"It's quite alright. Now why are you calling?"
"Well, the principal will allow the Brotherhood back into school, but my parents can only enroll Lance. Can you help out?"
"Sure. I'll make a few calls tonight."
"Thanks Prof. Later."
"Good-bye, Denise."
She hung up and grinned like a chesire cat. This was great. She quickly got ready for bed and turned off her lights. Tonight as she slept, she dreamed about her first day in a new school.
Adolf was now walking around town, having snuck out of the boarding house, as to not wake anyone up. He'd found one all night coffee shop and bought him some coffee. He was used to loosing sleep, since his step father used to beat him. His mother would try to help, but she'd end up getting hit too. He did miss his mother, but she was gone. Not in the since of she was on vacation or she'd up and left. His mother had been beat to death by his step father, which is why a hatred of the man runs deep within his veins. As he walked, he thought back to his new home. He didn't know exactly why these people wanted him in their little group, but he couldn't wait to find out. Maybe he'd even get to let off some steam in a rumble soon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Was that bad or good? I gotta go, people are getting frustrated with me.
Lance was walking through the mall with an excited grin plastered on his face. He'd just picked up Kitty's gift and couldn't wait until Tuesday. He hoped she'd like it. He was heading back to his jeep when he heard a familiar voice.
