Brotherhood Evolution: Adrift

Ahhh, now that the seriousness is over we can get back to the fun. By the by, a gold star to those who realized that the last two chapters were the same as the comic versions of the Crimson Dawn, but there were differences, thusit is still somewhat original. (Looks around nervously) On with the show!

Disclaimer: I own only the ideas behind this story and the character of Michael Nagrite.

The Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House

"RAT!!!" Betsy shouted as she jumped up onto the table in the kitchen. Boris looked up at her and shook its head as it walked out back into the pallor.

"You have got to get over your fear of Boris." Lance said as he walked in, trying not to laugh.

"You may find it bloody funny smart guy, but I happen to be scarred to death of the little bugger." Betsy said as she got off of the table. "God why did it have to be a rat?' Betsy asked as she walked into the pallor where Mike was watching TV with Toad and Blob. She sat in Mike's lap and began watching "King of the Hill" with them.

"He he. That Dale." Fred giggled as Boris jumped onto Fred's shoulder and stared at Betsy.

"RAT!!!" Betsy shouted, making Omega jump a good three feet into the air.

"Jeeze Bets." Mike muttered. "You don't have to yell." Mike said as he held his ear.

"Sorry love. But that thing is starting to freak the bloody hell out of me." Betsy said as she got up. "Besides, we should probably go to school now." Betsy said as she walked over and pulled on her purple coat.

"You up for that Betsy?" Pietro asked as he got up.

"I've been out for two weeks, I'm fully healed boys. Besides I'm a big girl." Betsy said as she arched her tattooed eyebrow. "You coming?" Betsy asked as she walked outside.

"There's nothing better to do." Pietro said simply.

"Besides, we can always torture Kelly." Tabitha added as she put Boris in his cage.

"To school!" Lance shouted as the Brotherhood took off, Betsy, Toad and Mike in the El Camino with Pietro, Lance, Tabitha, and Blob in the jeep.

Bayville High

"It looks like it's going to be a peaceful day." Kelly said as he walked through the small garden the school had. He then heard a loud thumping. "What the..?" Kelly asked as he saw a small puddle. The thumping happened again, this time causing ripples in the water. Kelly watched in horror as the thumping increased in speed. He turned to the horizon where he saw the Blob running toward the school, creating tremors with his footsteps. He was also screaming. "What the… oh dear lord." Kelly muttered as he saw the Brotherhood jeep go sailing in the air, over Freddy and Toward Kelly, Tabitha was behind the wheel. Lance and Pietro were holding on to each other for dear life as Tabitha sailed right over Kelly and into the parking lot where the car landed. "Whew." Kelly muttered as he turned around. His eyes grew as Freddy ran toward him. "This is going to hurt." Kelly muttered as the Blob ran him over. Mike then drove by Kelly's mangled form. Mike stopped the car as Toad got out and lifted Kelly's wallet, took the cash and got back into the car. The El Camino sped off toward the parking lot. "Then again, nothing is peaceful when the Brotherhood is involved." Kelly muttered before he passed out.

--------------------

"Ahhh, the sweet, sweet smell of fear." Blob said as he shoved a jock into a locker as Mike broke the lock off.

"All I smell is the burrito's you ate last night." Toad said as he held his nose.

"HAHA!" Blob stated as he slapped his knee. "Very funny!"

"Calm down Freddy." Lance said as he saw Kitty walking to class. "Later guys." Lance said as he took off. "Hey Kitty, can I walk you to class?"

"Man that boy is whipped." Mike muttered.

"Your one to talk." Pietro said.

"What does that mean?' Mike asked simply.

"Hey love, the machine ate my quarter." Betsy said as she walked over to Mike.

"It did, did it?" Mike asked as he walked over to the soda machine and punched it. A few sodas shook loose and fell out.

"Thanks love." Betsy said as she sipped a soda and walked to class, Mike following like a little dog.

"Exhibit A." Pietro quipped. He then noticed a group of girls talking. "Later chumps." Pietro said. "Helloooo ladies!" Pietro crowed as he took off to flirt.

"Well I guess that leaves you and me Freddy." Toad stated.

"Ahem." They both turned around to see Tabitha, and evil glint in her eye. "Forget about me?" Tabitha asked.

"Eep." Blob and Toad muttered in unison as Tabitha smiled.

--------------------

"So how's McCoy taking the fact that we made T-Shirts about him?" Lance asked as he and Kitty walked through the halls.

"Like, he didn't even know they existed until he saw Professor Xavier and Mr. Logan wearing them." Kitty said as she walked with Lance down the hall.

"Wow. I didn't know Pietro sold shirts to those two." Lance said with a smile as he and Kitty laughed. "So you wanna do something later tonight?' Lance asked nervously.

"Like, sure." Kitty said as she smiled at the longhaired senior.

"Great." Lance said. "I'll pick you up around eight." Lance said with a smile as they were about to part ways.

"GANGWAY!!!" They heard Toad shout. Lance turned down the hall and saw Toad leading a charge of Frogs. "ONWARD BROTHERS! TO FREEDOM!" Toad shouted as he led the Frogs out the door and into the sunlight. Fred and Tabitha ran after him, leading more frogs outside

"He's been in the sugar, hasn't he?" Kitty asked as Lance shook his head.

"Yes. Ever since Tabitha moved in, him, Pietro and Freddy have been a lot worse lately." Lance said as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"I feel so sorry for you." Kitty said as she hugged him and ran down the hall. "See you at eight!" Kitty shouted.

"Well, at least I got a date out of this." Lance said as Betsy and Mike walked up behind him.

"Toad freed more lab Frog's didn't he?" Betsy asked as Mike rubbed her back.

"Yea." Lance said as he faced the two of them. "Um, Mike, why do you have lipstick stains on you face." Lance asked as Mike and Betsy began to sweat.

"Um…look at time!' Betsy said as she looked at her bare wrist.

"Oh yea!" Mike added. "Let's go Bets!" Mike said as he led Psylocke away.

"Broom closet? Lance heard Betsy ask.

"Sounds good." Mike answered as Betsy giggled. Lance just got a smile as he walked away. "Those two will never grow up." Lance said as he walked down the halls.

"Sup Lance!" Pietro said as he sped up to Lance.

"Not much Pietro, you?" Lance asked as he stopped at a water fountain.

"I just got a few numbers." Pietro said as he pullout a very large book of female phone numbers.

"That's a few?" Lance asked, chocking on the water he was drinking.

"Hey it's been a slow day. I'll have more." Pietro said and then sped off.

"I don't know why I bother." Lance said as he walked down the hall. "Maybe I should join the X-Geeks…" Lance thought as he walked into class.

The Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House

"YES!!!" Lance shouted as he watched the TV.

"What's up Lance?' Mike asked as he waked into the room where Fred and Toad were dancing. Pietro was cheering and Betsy and Tabitha were rolling on the floor with laughter.

"There is a hurricane in Hawaii!" Lance crowed as he let out a war-whoop.

"So." Mike asked as he looked at them all strangely.

"Summers is down there with his little Brother!" Lance crowed. "And Betsy picked up that Summers was still on the beach when the hurricane hit."

"That means…" Mike began as Lance began jumping up and down.

"Eat it Summers! HAHA! Eat it!" Lance shouted. "HAHA! He's going to bite the big one!" Lance crowed as the Brotherhood began celebrating by dancing around. Betsy stopped and grabbed her head.

"Bets?" Mike asked as he held her arm.

"Um. Guys." Betsy said as she looked up at them, a sorry look on her face. "The Summers brothers just got picked up by the adult X-Geeks." Betsy said sorrowfully. "Alive."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Lance screamed as he began banging his head on the wall. "Why, why, why, why…"

"Guess he forgot about his date with Pryde." Pietro said as the Brotherhood watched their leader beat his head in.

"Yo Petey, I got a coke that says he remembers just in time." Mike said.

"Your on." Pietro said as they slapped hands.

"Just another typical day at the Brotherhood house." Tabitha said as she smiled at the others.
