Brotherhood Evolution: A Romance in the Works
I know, I know. The Brotherhood didn't really play any role in Power Surge, other than Lance saving Kitty's life, again. So I decide that I would have the 'Hood trying to get through to Lance while he's in one of his Kitty dazes. Hope you enjoy.
P.s. A few people have told me that Mike is a little too indestructible. But he does have his weaknesses. They will all slowly be revealed, but for now I'll give you his major weakness. He can't understand women for the life of him. This makes it hard for him to pick up the signals a certain purple haired telepath is sending him. Hint. Hint.

The Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House
"There's no more water." Toad muttered as he came down, his hair wet from the shower.
"Great." Pietro replied sarcastically as he played poker with Fred and Mike.
"At least he showered this week." Mike muttered as he stared at his cards.
"Eh, what are you going to do?" Betsy replied as she got of the couch and stretched. She cast a glance over at Mike who was now visibly arguing with Pietro.
"Blasphemer!" Mike shouted as he started strangling Pietro. "Drew Carey would kick Seinfield's ass three ways from Sunday!' Mike shouted as he continued strangling Pietro.
"I don't know why…but I think I like that boy." Betsy thought as she turned around and walked into her room. Betsy slumped onto her bed. "What is going on Betsy girl? Mike's a brute, he's sarcastic, he's annoying, and he's a little gross." Betsy thought. "And he's also drop-dead gorgeous, and built like a brick wall. He's also kind, but a little too defensive…"
"GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!!!" Betsy heard Mike shout as she heard Pietro scream. "HOLD STILL!!!"
"And he is aggressive, I'll give him that." Betsy thought as she looked into the mirror as she heard a door slam. "I guess Lance is home." Betsy thought as she let her thoughts wander. Betsy didn't know whether it had been five minutes or an hour, but Mike opened her door, disrupting her thoughts.
"Hey Bets, you in there?" Mike asked as he opened the door.
"Mike. It is called knocking. Try it some time." Betsy scolded as Mike gave her a dumb look.
"Oh. Sorry." Mike said, looking puzzled.
"What's up?" Betsy sighed as she got off of her bed.
"Something's up with Lance." Mike motioned, jerking his thumb backwards. "We can't snap him out this daze he's in. I figured since you're a telepath, you could probably tell what's up with him." Mike explained as Betsy closed her door and followed him downstairs. Lance was sitting in the chair, a glazed look in his eyes and a grin plastered on his face.
"Wow. He is out of it." Betsy said as Pietro hit Lance's knees repeatedly with a ballpoint hammer and got no response. Pietro shrugged as Betsy walked over to Lance "Well, lets see what I can do about that." Betsy said as she created her Psionic knife and approached Lance. "Whoa." She said grabbing her head. She retracted her Psionic knife as she turned and faced the Brotherhood.
"What?" Pietro asked as he put his hands on Betsy's shoulders.
"Lance here saved valley girl's but today." Betsy said as she shook Pietro off.
"That's why he's in his daze?" Toad asked as he dumped a bucket of water on Lance's head, and got no response.
"Yep. He'll probably be like that for a while. In fact I'm going to call this little daze he gets in 'Kittyus Dazus'." Betsy said as she put on her purple coat. "I'm going for a walk. Mike you wanna come with?"
"Na. I wanna see what we can do to mess with the rock man here." Mike said as Pietro grabbed him and hauled him into the kitchen. "Sup Speedy?" Mike asked as Pietro shut the door.
"Are you insane? Betsy's got the hots for you man." Pietro said as he walked around Mike.
"Really?" Mike asked as Pietro slapped the front of his face.
"Trust me Mike, I'm the king of Romance. Betsy likes you."
"Pietro, none of your relationships have lasted more than a week." Mike said as he shook his head.
"They bore me." Pietro said simply. "But that's not the point, man. Trust me. Go with Betsy on this walk. She totally digs you. I mean, do you like her?"
"I guess, I mean, I've never really had a successful romantic relationship before." Mike said simply.
"Well it's about time you had one." Pietro said as he pushed Mike out the door.
"Um, Bets, I guess I will go with you after all." Mike said as he pulled on his trench coat. He cast a sideways glance at Pietro as he left.
~ Thank's alot Petey. ~ Betsy said telepathically to Pietro.
"I wonder if those two like each other?" Toad mused.
"Of course they do." Pietro said as he got an evil glint in his eye. "But right now, we get to have fun with Lance." Pietro smirked.
"I'll get the shaving cream." Toad said as he hopped upstairs.
"I'll get the makeup." Freddy said as he walked into the bathroom.
"Time. For. A. Make. Over!!!" Pietro said like a gay man as he snapped his fingers after each word. (I sincerely hope I did not offended any gay viewers with this remark)

"Mike I have to ask you something." Betsy said as she walked next to Mike Nagrite, taking in the sights.
"Shoot Bets." Mike said as he stopped and faced the Asian beauty.
"Do you like me?" Betsy asked bluntly.
"Whoa." Mike said as he took a few steps back. "Where did that come from?" Mike asked as he stared at Betsy. "Damn, Pietro was right." Mike thought.
"Do you like me?' Betsy asked again.
"Well yea, I mean as a friend and teammate." Mike said.
"Just as a friend?" Betsy asked as she arced her eyebrow seductively.
"Um… Hey look, a duck!" Mike said as he tried changing the subject.
"Nice try Mister Nagrite, but I'm not that foolish." Betsy said as she got closer to him and planted a kiss full on his lips. "Think about that, next time I ask you if you like me." Betsy said as she walked away seductively.
"Does this mean Betsy like's me?" Mike asked no one in particular as he scratched his eyebrow. He watched Psylocke walk away.
"Yes you moron!" Betsy called out from down the road.
"Telepaths, can't live with'em, and can't live without'em." Mike said with a smirk as he touched his lips. "Hey Bets! Wait up!" Mike called as he chased after Betsy.

"We're home!" Mike called out as he and Betsy walked in the door.
"Wazzap!' Toad asked as he slouched on the couch, watching "Maury".
"Nothing much." Betsy said as she and Mike shared a smile as she went upstairs.
"So are you two an item yet?" Fred asked as he ate a sandwich.
"I honestly don't know." Mike said as with a smile as he slumped down in a chair and watched the TV. "I can't read any signals she sending, but I think she likes me." Mike said simply.
"Told you." Pietro muttered as he ate a few pretzels.
"Yea." Mike said simply. "By the by, how's lover boy?"
"Take a look." Pietro said proudly as he pointed at Lance. Lance had the same stupid grin on, except he was now wearing a clown costume with a shaving cream toupee, and makeup. He still had the same glazed over look in his eye as well.
"Damn that girl got to him." Mike muttered.
"Oh, yea." Fred said with a smile as he ate his sandwich. "Hey he's starting to move." Freddy pointed out as Lance got up and walked into the bathroom.
"This is not going to be good." Pietro muttered as Mike dove under the couch and Toad jumped into the closet.
"WHAT THE HELL!!!" Lance screamed as the house began to shake. Blob ran into the kitchen faster than Pietro could as Lance stormed out and saw him. "PIETRO!!!" Lance screamed as he began chasing Quicksilver around the house. Betsy came down when she heard the screaming and saw Lance chasing Pietro around. Mike walked over to her as Lance chased Pietro and tried beating him.
"Freddy wanted to know if we're an item." Mike said as he looked at her. Pietro was screaming in the background.
"I don't know. Are we?" Betsy asked as she arched her eyebrow.
"I like you. Do you like me?" Mike asked simply as he watched Lance tackle Pietro to the ground.
"Yea. I can't believe it took you this long to realize I like you." Betsy said simply.
"Hey. Relationships aren't really my foray. I'm still new to the whole relationship thing." Mike said as Lance began punching Pietro.
"So does this officially makes us an item?' Betsy asked. "I mean I'm new to this as well."
"Yea. I guess we are." Mike said with a smile as Betsy leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Good." Betsy said contently.
"Yea." Mike said as they watched Pietro getting beaten. "Lance, put him down." Mike said.
(Crash) "Well, he put him down." Betsy winced.
"I can't feel my legs…" Pietro moaned as Lance walked back upstairs to change. "Oh wait, there they are."
"Hey." Toad said as hopped over. "I just remembered that Duncan's having a party tonight."
"So." Blob said as he munched on a burger. (Don't ask where it came from folks, I don't even know.)
"You guy's wanna crash it?" Toad asked simply as he changed the channel.
"Na. It's not like anything good will happen there." Lance said as he came downstairs, changed.
"Yea. Like maybe Jean will go nuts and send Shades over the balcony into the pool." Betsy said with a laugh as she slumped into the chair.
"That'll happen." Lance said as he slumped down in the couch next to Toad. "What's on next?"
"Simpsons." Toad answered.
"Nice." Freddy said slyly as he grabbed some popcorn from the kitchen.
