Brotherhood Evolution: Mainstream

Well here we are. The episode that screwed over the Brotherhood royally. I'll have to fix that…

********************

The Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House

"Got one..." Mike stated as he crushed a little electronic device between his fingers.

"Jeeze, we've spent three days getting all of the bugs out of this place." Lance said sullenly as he cleaned out the pallor.

"I mean, we've found Bugs that the government doesn't even use anymore, as well as several dozen that aren't even Government Issue.

"This place is a friggin' full-out security breech." Toad said simply.

"Toad, I don't understand a single thing you say anymore." Lance said simply.

"Calm down Lance." Betsy said as she walked into the room. "The upstairs is clean." Betsy then stated.

"Good. Then that's all of them." Fred said as he ate a burger.

"Where'd Wanda take off to anyway?" Toad asked.

"Since she figured out that her Father and no good Brother are still alive, she's decided to launch a one person hunt for them." Lance stated as he crashed onto the couch.

"I would've helped." Toad stated.

"That's why she wanted it to be a one person hunt." Lance stated.

"Man, life has seriously become F'ed up as of late." Betsy said as she slumped into the sofa. Boris, The Brotherhood Rat crawled over to her and stared at her while her face was turned the other way. "RAT!" Betsy shouted when she turned back around to see Boris staring at her. Before anyone could blink, Betsy was gone, leaving a confused Boris and empty chair.

"At least some things don't change…" Mike stated as he walked up stairs to pry his girlfriend off the ceiling fan.

"This sucks." Lance stated.

"So what do we do?" Blob asked, as there was a knock at the door.

"I got it…" Lance stated as he opened the door to see Principle Kelly. "What are you doing here?" Lance asked as the Brotherhood crowed around the door.

"I've come to invite you back to school." Kelly stated simply.

"Forget it." Lance said. "We don't go where we're not wanted."

"Most of the time…" Toad quipped.

"Besides, why would we want to go back there?" Mike asked simply.

"Because you'd be the big guys on campus, being mutants and all." Kelly said as the Brotherhood all got huge smiles on their faces.

"You know, now that you mention it, I'm in the mood for some schooling right now…" Betsy said with a smile as Kelly turned and walked away. Only to fall into a giant pit the Brotherhood had dug as a booby trap.

"I really do hate those kids…" Kelly moaned as the Brotherhood walked by snickering.

********************

Bayville High

"Ready guys?" Lance asked as the Brotherhood stood in front of the doors that led to Bayville High.

"Hold on Lance." Betsy said. "Guys, we're treading on very dangerous water here. Our actions today will affect Human/Mutant relations for years to come. We need to be careful not to cause any real trouble; otherwise mutant kind will be looked down upon forever."

"So what do we do then?" Lance asked.

"I don't know. It just felt like the right thing to say at the time. I say we party." Betsy said simply.

"Fine. LET'S PARTY!" Fred shouted as he, Mike, Toad, and Lance walked up to the doors and kicked them open simultaneously.

"Big mutants on campus!" Toad crowed as Betsy hopped onto Mike's back and rode piggyback through the halls with him.

"The mutants are here!" Betsy crowed.

"Make way for the mutants!" Fred said confidently.

"Time to Part-ay!" Lance shouted as the Brotherhood walked down the halls, the students parting in front of them.

"I feel like Moses." Mike stated as Betsy let out a war-whoop.

"It's good to be the Mutie." Toad stated simply as a freshman bumped into Lance.

"What are you looking at?" Lance snapped at the scarred teen. "You wanna stare at the freak? I'll mess you up if you look at us again." Lance scowled as he picked the kid up and slammed him into the lockers. "Watch yourself human." Lance said as he shoved the kid into the lockers again and walked away.

"I love my life…" Toad stated as the football players backed away from him.

"So what do we do first?" Mike asked as the rest of Bayville High rushed to their classes, leaving the Brotherhood Alone in the hallway.

"I have an idea…" The Brotherhood turned to see Duncan Matthews standing there smirking.

"Great." Mike stated as he cracked his knuckles. "I've been looking for a way to take out my frustrations." Mike said venomously as he approached Duncan.

"Whoa!" Duncan said as he held up his hands defensively. "I didn't come for trouble. In fact I have a proposition for you all."

"I'm listening…" Lance said as he crossed his arms.

********************

Outside of Bayville High, 8 hours later

"Why are we doing this again?" Toad asked as the Brotherhood sat in the jeep, in full battle attire.

"Because we can beat the X-Geeks at there own game." Betsy stated.

"That, and because Duncan paid us a shit load of money." Lance said as he counted the bills again.

"Here comes the gorilla now." Mike said simply as Duncan walked over to the Brotherhood.

"They're here." Duncan said simply. "Wait for my signal."

"Eat me." Lance said simply as Duncan walked away.

"You sure about this man?" Mike asked. "I mean Kitty will be here."

"She'll just have to stay out of our way then." Lance said simply.

"What the hell is going on man?" Mike asked. "A few weeks ago we couldn't even touch a hair on Kitty's head, and now it's like you don't even care about her anymore."

"I know. It's just I realized that if she really cares about me, then she needs to learn that this is who I am. I'm tired of trying to keep her out of our fights when all she does is run into them. It's like I'm not good enough for her anymore."

"Don't think like that man." Betsy said as Duncan gave the Brotherhood their signal.

"Come on. We got work to do." Lance said simply as the Brotherhood got out of the Jeep and walked behind Duncan, backing him up. (God that hurt me to write)

"See I have mutants on my side as well." Duncan said as the X-Me looked on in shock, Lance just sighed.

"Mike. Shut him up.' Lance stated.

"With pleasure." Mike said simply as he walked over and punched Duncan right in the gut, then followed up with a spin kick that knocked the blond boy out. "God that was easy." Mike said as Lance smiled at the X-Men.

"Sorry about that." Lance said simply. "We were just toying with him for the money."

"What!?" The X-Men shouted.

"Oh don't worry, were still gonna fight you." Lance said with a smile.

"You." Kitty shouted as she ran up to Lance and slapped his chest. "After everything you said… You're still nothing but a hood!" Kitty screamed at Lance.

"Ah Jeeze…" Betsy said as she looked away as Lance's face went from hurt to anger.

"THAT'S RIGHT!" Lance screamed into Kitty's face as he shoved her away. "And nothing I do is good enough for you!" Lance shouted as Kitty looked hurt. "I'm so sick and tired of this! I leave my friends and join the X-Geeks, not good enough! I turn on my boss, still not good enough! I go against everything I believe in for you and it's still not good enough for you!" Lance screamed in anger as his eyes turned white for a few seconds. "I'm done with this! Lance shouted as the ground around the X-Men began to quake. "TAKE THEM!" Lance screamed as the Brotherhood ran towards the X-Men as Lance continued to tear the ground around them apart. Cars began to flip over and lamp polls fell in his anger.

"Eat this." Mike shouted as he grabbed Evan and slammed him into the wall.

"Gotcha!" Betsy shouted as she stabbed Rogue with her Psionic knife.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Lance screamed in rage as the ground rose up and flipped cars all over the place. Meanwhile, the PTA meeting ended and everyone was watching in horror as the Brotherhood of Mutants showed them the evil side of mutants.

"LANCE!" Mike shouted as Lance continued to shatter the earth. "CUT IT OUT MAN! XAVIER'S HERE!" Mike shouted as Lance stopped the tremors and looked at Xavier and the gathered humans.

"Let's go." Lance said simply as the Brotherhood all ran away, leaving the place a huge mess.

The Brotherhood of Bayville Boarding House

"So that's that." Mike said simply.

"What are you going to do about Kitty?" Betsy asked Lance, who was sulking in his chair.

"Nothing." Lance stated. "I'm tired of doing everything for her only to have her think of me as nothing but a hood."

"So now what do we do?" Toad asked.

"I don't know little buddy." Mike stated.

"This is very bad." Betsy stated. "I mean, without Mag's, Mystique, or the X-Geeks, what are we?"

"We're mutants." Mike said simply. "If humans think that we're nothing but a menace, then maybe we should prove them wrong."

"How?" We did trash the school you know." Betsy said simply.

"You know what? I don't care what anyone thinks anymore. I'm through with all of this crap." Lance said as he walked into the kitchen for a bottle of water.

"He is seriously screwed up." Blob stated.

"I think losing Kitty did a real number on him." Mike stated as Lance got back.

"So I guess we just try to survive." Toad said simply. "I mean, Magneto will probably be coming for us at some point."

"And when he gets here, what do we do?" Blob asked.

"We do whatever we think is the right thing to do." Lance said simply. "We be ourselves. No more hiding. No more being fake. It's time the world sees what the Brotherhood is all about anyway."

"No truer words have been spoken by million poets." Blob stated as the Brotherhood all looked at him funny. "What?!?"

********************
Next Time on Brotherhood Evolution: The Stuff of Villain's. See what happens when Gambit stops by and pays the Brotherhood a little visit.
********************

There you go. I hope you all liked it. And why did I have Lance and Kitty separate? While I am the biggest of Lancitty Shippers out there, I do need to cause some friction in order for a future storyline to happen. Trust me folks, this little bit of Angst now will turn into something huge later. Also get ready to see a more driven Brotherhood.

Peace out,

Descendent
