Perfect By Nature
Chapter VII: More Fun in the Pool
By: Michelle
Kurt and Ororo both thread water in the deep end of the pool. Every now and then, even the teachers deserved some time for fun. Moments earlier they were behaving like children by having a splash war.
Kurt gestured to Logan sleeping on the lounge chair. Ororo smiled at the mischievous thought they both shared. Their plan was to drag the grouchy Canadian in on the fun, whether he liked it or not.
They made their way towards Logan as quietly as possible. His enhanced hearing was a difficult obstacle to come by. So far, they had succeeded.
Then, Logan jerked up. He pulled his shirt off and tossed it to the side. Grumbling to himself, He looked around at the students and the supposedly innocent Kurt and Ororo in the pool. Nothing my ass. He thought as he stuck a cigar in his mouth. He glanced around quickly to see Rogue no where nearby and lit it up.
He took a puff and leaned back in his chair. Now this is relaxing. He closed his eyes and felt the warmth of the sun on his face and his hairy chest.
Ororo glanced quickly over to Kurt and smiled.
Logan's eyes shot opened as soon as he heard the noise, but nothing could prepare him for the sight he saw. His cigar fell from his mouth as a mini tidal wave drenched him.
Kurt and Ororo busted out laughing at him as he stood up. Logan looked like a drowned rat. Even Xavier couldn't help but chuckle at his appearance.
Logan shook his body like a dog causing his hair to fuzz wildly. "You two are going down." He said and jumped into the pool after them.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Leonardo pulled his hat down to keep his face from being noticed. It was bad enough he was driving in a trench coat in the middle of summer, but he was in daylight. He had to be careful.
With one hand on the steering wheel, he held a road map with the other. I get off on the next exit.
Damn it's hot. He thought as he turned up the AC. He couldn't tell you the countless times he wished he lived a human life. If he was human, he could walk outside in public. If he was human, he could live in a nice house or apartment, instead of a filthy sewer. If he was human, he wouldn't be driving to Westchester to figure out what Dragon Lord was up too. He sighed. I guess we all have our place in the world, no matter whom or what we are.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"You two lovebirds thought ya'll were funny, didn't ya." Logan said as he swam after them.
"Ja." Kurt smiled. "Ve thought it vas very funny."
"Haha." Logan replied.
"Oh come on Logan." Ororo said. "You can't take a joke."
"I can take a joke." He said swim closer to them. "How fast can ya'll swim?"
"Pretty fast."
"Not so bad myself."
"Oh yeah." Logan grinned. "Let's just see about that." Before he was about to sped after them, he picked up a familiar scent. Kitty. But she ain't alone. "Elf, image inducer." He said in a serious voice.
Kurt quickly switched on his image inducer, thankful it was waterproof. A few seconds later, Kitty Pryde and her father showed up to talk to Xavier. That was a close one.
"Hi Mr. Logan. Hi Ms. Monroe." Kitty said in a cheery voice. The, she blushed when she saw her favorite new teacher. "Hi Mr. Wagner."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Splinter slid open the door to his son's room. "Raphael, I need to have a word with you."
"That doesn't surprise me." Raphael grumbled.
Splinter sighed. This isn't going to be easy. "You are angry with me."
"Maybe." Raphael folded his arms.
"This has to do with Leonardo, doesn't it?"
'Yeah." Raphael turned his head to avoid his Sensei's glance. "It's not fair, you know."
"What's not fair?"
"You always get on my case, but never Leonardo's." He replied. "Why is everything I do wrong, and every thing he does right?"
Splinter sat down next to Raphael on the bed. "You and your brother are to completely different spirits. The two of you react differently to each situation. With your brother, I don't have to worry as much. I know he will be alright." He said honestly. "But with you, I constantly worry. You don't always think before you act. You do what you want to do and don't worry about the consequences."
"Sorry I ain't perfect." Raphael hung his head.
"No one is perfect Raphael." Splinter replied. "And although you may not see it, but Leonardo is not perfect either. Being Perfect by Nature is nearly impossible. We are all born with flaws. Just some of us are easier at hiding it than others."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"It's nice to see you again, Mr. Pryde." Xavier said to Kitty's father. "Why don't we go inside so I can discuss with you about out up coming school year."
"Sounds like a good idea."
As Xavier and Mr. Pryde left, Kitty smiled at Kurt.
"Nice to see you again Katzchen." Kurt smiled back.
"How was you vacation?" Ororo asked.
"It was like totally the most fun ever." The ditzy teen replied. 'My dad like took me to Disney World. We totally road every ride there. I even got to like get everyone some presents."
Logan signaled to Kurt what he was planning for revenge on the weather goddess.
"That's nice. Maybe, you can give them to us later." Ororo replied. "But in the meantime, why don't you get in a swimsuit and join us all out here in this gorgeous weather. I think Jubilee and Rogue could use some help with their water fight with Piotr and Bobby."
"Ok." Kitty turned and rushed to the mansion with her ponytail swinging back and forth.
Logan and Kurt each got on a side of Ororo. "What are you two up too?"
"Not much Darling." Logan smiled. "Just some bitter sweet revenge."
Before Ororo could figure out what they were up to, she felt her bikini top quickly come undone and slip off. She quickly covered herself, not just because she was embarrassed, but because there were still a few of the children around the pool. "Logan. Kurt."
Kurt smiled at her as she used her arm to cover herself. Should I attempt to pull her bottom off?
"LOGAN."
"What are you so bitchy about? You were the one who ruined a perfectly good cigar. Besides, it's your own fault for wearing a top only secured by two strings." Logan replied as she scowled at him.
"Ok, you had your fun." Ororo said. "NOW GIVE ME MY TOP BACK."
"Sure, catch." He answered by throwing it over her head.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dragon Lord drummed his fingers on the end of his throne. He was growing impatient waiting for his spy to report new information to him over the communicating device.
"Majesty."
He looked around for the voice calling his name. Then, he remembered it was what he was waiting for. Even after the few years of his release, he was still not use to modern electronics. "Yes."
"Majesty." The spy said over the communicator. "The multitude of mutants is astounding here. It is like a buffet of power."
"Good." Dragon Lord replied. "We shall take them each one by one after the first target is required."
"Majesty, it has not been easy to acquire this mutant." His spy replied. "It is constantly surrounded by others. It might be easier to send a small army…"
"No. You will follow my orders." Dragon Lord answered. "I will not send any Rank to assist you until the time comes. I want to be notified as soon as the mutant is alone. That is the only time we will make a move."
"Yes Majesty."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Kurt caught it and smiled mischievously over to Logan. He tossed it back over to him and together they started their own keep away.
Impatient with trying to catch her top, Ororo decided to play a game too. Alright boys. Time for a taste of your own medicine. Her eyes pearled over as summoned the winded too spiral over each off them. She lowered her mini tornados into the water causing two whirlpools.
She grabbed her bikini top and their swim shorts floating towards her. She tied back on her top and climb out of the pool releasing her hold on them.
Logan and Kurt took deep breaths and stared at her.
"Missing something boys." She smiled holding up their swim shorts.
They both looked down realizing what was missing. Oh shit.
Ororo tossed the two swim shorts away from the pool and smiled at Kurt. "Not bad." Not bad at all.
"Elf, you better get us out of here before anyone sees us." Logan said, then he heard a gasp. He looked over his shoulder to see a blushing Kitty Pryde who just got a view of their asses.
"Oh Gott."
BAMF
