The Softball Game
All the students living in the institute were soon all standing in the middle of the large softball/baseball field, Hank and Loan had made way back when young students started moving in, everyone was excited to be outside in the beautiful daylight and they loved watching everyone to see what the two teams would be like. Scott and Kurt were chosen as the team captains. Scott chose Rogue, Jubilee, Roberto, Pyro, Alicia, Jon, Jay, Pietro, Lance, Colossus, Sam, and Bezerker. Kurt chose Amanda decided to play when she saw everyone outside when she got to the institute to see Kurt, Kitty, Rahn, Bobby, Katie Remy, Jean, Jamie, Toad, Fred, Tabitha, and Amara.
Now that the teams were picked it was time for the coin toss to see who got the field first. Scott was tails and Kurt heads. The quarter landed on heads so Kurt and his team to the field ready to start the game. Beast volunteered to be the umpire. "PLAY BALL NO POWERS!" Beast announced and the pitcher, Remy wound up for a knuckle ball and threw it with all he had .The batter, Alicia took one look and swung her bat as fast as she could to match the balls speed and the ball went sailing through the field. The ball was so far up in the air no one could catch it. Alicia took off from the homeplate and made it to first base. She saw she could make it to at least third before anyone could get to the ball that now was on the ground. As she thought she managed to get to third before Kurt could race from his position at center field to the ball that was past all the outfielders.
Scott and his small team cheered for Alicia. The next batter up was Rogue. Remy once again threw a fast knuckle ball. Once more it was hit to the outfield and that gave time to Alicia to get home and Rogue got to second. "Wait, Time out. Remy come here." Ordered Kurt. Remy, Kurt, and Bobby who was catching. "Should I put someone else in?" Kurt asked the two. "How 'bout Jean? She looks like she's got a good arm. Then I can take her spot on second." Remy calmly suggested, he wasn't very fond of the pitching very much. "Ok. JEAN!" Kurt called Jean in and Remy ran off to second and Jean went to the mound. She thew one of her beat curveballs, the thing was it was nowhere near Bobby, the catcher all the sudden the ball went right into Bobby's catcher's mitt. "Hey you used your power to do that." Said Pietro who was batting. "Strike!" Beast called. "WHAT! That can't be right." Pietro retorted with a mad face.
"POWERBALL!" Bobby yelled. "Oh dear." Beast sighed. Jean pitched another ball totally with her telekinesis. Pietro with his super speed was able to hit the ball before Jean could change the ball's direction. At that point it was all chaos. Every mutant on the field and at bat at one point or another used his or her mutant ability to 'cheat'. After an hour of this 'powerball game' everyone went in for lunch. Before they could eat lunch Storm told all the students to clean up. (Just imagine 36 teenagers covered in mud, dirt, field line chalk, and grass plastered to all the kids' playing clothes.). With little complaint everyone went up to the bathrooms and got showers.
Amanda went home (so that makes it 35 grungy teens). For lunch there were sandwiches some picked just peanutbutter, others got peanutbutter and jam or jelly, the rest preferred some lunchmeat for their sandwich. Everyone was talking about the game. Scott's team was excited because they won. Scott invited everyone to come with him to get ice cream. Everyone, even Storm, Beast, Wolverine, Amy
, Stan, Mystic, and Xavier decided to tag along.
