Thanks to:
Southern Goth Gal – The song I used was the link I was trying to send you and was thwarted by my crappy computer skills. Glad you like the Rietro sis and they will get to kiss, promise!
Enfant-terrible – Glad you liked it!
XME – I love the song too and I just had to use it! I dread to think where the Beast hid the collar…
AriKitten – She's in the X23 episodes! Roberto will score soon…
Xevo Chic – You don't want Pietro to get some lovin? For shame! Beast always seems to wear nothing but those shorts and I just wondered where he keeps his cash.
King-Cold – Agatha and Destiny are pretty disturbing, lol! And it is Viper, but because they called her Hydra in Evo I've stuck to that. The doctor appears for the first time here!
Randomnimity – I like cliffhangers, as you can tell!
DemonRogue13 – I love Rietro too!
Holly Potter – Kissing interrupted and you have a gun…this isn't looking good for me! But you'll never find me in the cupboard under the stairs! Ooops…
Steph14Wales – The song was all thanks to you! And Pietro will get his kiss…sometime.
The Son of Logan and Ororo – Thanks for the reviews! No 12 year olds singing here (except X23, lol) and all the ladies will be introduced in this chapter. Only one more guy though! I'm not good with the Morlock characters, so I'm not introducing any more of them. I just realised I could do a Sabretooth/Mrs Sefton chapter – oh no, that would be too bizarre…
Bobtheheadlesschicken – Weird reviews are welcomed – it's a pretty weird fic after all!
Disclaimer: I own nothing.

The woman stepped forward, revealing her green outfit, green eyes and green lipstick. Rogue raised her eyebrows. "Does this woman only know one colour?"
"Silence!" The woman waved the gun menacingly. "I am Madame Hydra. I knew you X-Men would be here to investigate the cause of the poisoning and that's why I did it!"
"You're the reason we've all been singing?" asked Roberto.
"Silence!"
"She sure does like that word," muttered Pietro.
"It has come to my attention that some property that belongs to my organisation has fallen into the hands of the X-Men. I want it back."
"I don't understand," said Beast slowly. "What property is this?"
"Weapon X23!"
"All this for Pyro's jailbait?" Pietro looked confused.
"She is a weapon that we genetically engineered and we want her back! I knew she would be on this mission with you."
"Uh, you knew wrong," said Lance. "She's not here."
"Impossible!" Hydra looked furious. "What else would a teenage girl prefer to getting into a fight?"
Tabby smirked. "Sex!"
"Silence!" Hydra glared at the group. "If X23 has chosen not to join you on this mission, I have ways of forcing her to!"
"You could use an aardvark," suggested Evan cheerfully.
"Ignore him," said Scott quickly. "His mind's snapped under the pressure."
"I have something better than an aardvark!" Hydra laughed maniacally, as baddies tend to do. "I have – hostages!"
The X-Men (and Brotherhood members) looked to the spot behind her that they had previously mistaken for a rock. In fact it was three woman with their hands tied behind their backs. The ropes binding them were in turn attached to the hook of a crane, another item they had all overlooked.
"Oh my God, that's the Professors ex-wife!" gasped Jean.
"Do you think he ever spanked her?" asked Tabby curiously, causing Evan to start gibbering again.
"And that's my ex-girlfriend Taryn!" noted Scott. "She never let me tie her up, but some green haired woman gets to? Unfair!"
"Isn't that Kurt's girlfriend?" said Pietro. "Who wants to tell her where Blue Boy is?"
"Silence!" Hydra pulled a remote control from her pocket and pressed the big red button in the middle. The crane shuddered into life, lifted the three girls up and swung them over the reservoir. "If X23 is not here shortly, then these people will drown!"
"Uh, can we go get her then?" asked Rogue.
"No! She must know where you are!"
"She doesn't!"
"In that case…"
Hydras words were cut off as she was grabbed from behind by a burly figure with wings.
"Angel!" shouted Jean in relief. "Hold her! She's a villain!"
"I'm a villainess!" protested Hydra. "Unhand me!"
"I saw you being held at gunpoint while I was flying to the video shop," explained Angel. "I thought I'd help!"
"This is Hydra," explained the Beast. "She has an evil plan!"
"It's always the cute ones that are evil," said Angel wistfully. "I've always had a thing for girls with strange-coloured hair too."
Pietro covered his face with his hands. "Oh crap. Here we go again!"
Angel: Baby I don't understand
Why we can't just hold on to each other's hands
This time will be the last I fear
Unless I make it all so clear
I need you so…
Hydra blinked. "What's gotten into him?"
"The stuff you put into the water wasn't poison," explained Beast. "It was a variant of a soft drink called Pow-R-8. It causes mutants to sing!"
"I don't believe this! I'll kill that Spears!"
Angel: Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up for us and let us in…
"He is awfully young and handsome," mused Hydra, to assorted groans from the other mutants.
Angel: Baby I think tonight
We can take what was wrong and make it so right
I need you so
Baby it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh and blood that makes me whole
I need you so…
"That is the sweetest thing," said Hydra with a sigh.
"That is the sickest thing," muttered Lance.
Angel: Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up for us and let us in…
"Oh Angel!" Hydra threw herself into his arms. "For you I shall renounce my evil ways and live in your castle of love!"
"Problem solved guys," said Warren smugly as he picked Hydra up. "You don't get shot and I get laid. Everything worked out for the best!" With that he flew away, carrying a love struck Madame Hydra with him.
"Now all we have to do is sort out the water and I can get back to business!" Pietro grabbed Rogue by the waist and pulled her close to him.
"There's just one other thing," said Scott.
Rogue wasn't too happy to be interrupted from her thoughts. She wrapped her hands around Pietro's neck and said, "What is it now?"
"Hydra took the remote for the crane with her and there's three people about to be submerged in the reservoir!"
"Oh crap, can't we just let them drown?"
