1 Car Troubles and Honorable Mentions
The second morning of the Xavier Institute's Field Trip to Disney Land started off with a bang.
Logan's jeep finally gave up the ghost.
They ditched the jeep in the next city and to Logan's dismay, got a station wagon.
Meanwhile, in his 4X4, Scott was looking forward to the lunch stop.
Jean was meeting them there with Dani, Jamie, Alex, and Lorna, and five new students.
Jean had been on a recruitment drive when she met up with the others and had thankfully talked them into helping out.
They had encountered Brotherhood troubles, but all was well now...Scott hoped.
2 Student Activities
Jean was leading her gaggle along towards the X-van, when thugs decided to mug them.
Jean's eyes shot up, as before she could even do anything, Alex had sent one through a wall, Dani was tossing another into a car door, Lorna had used one's rifle barrel to tie his hands and the final one was tripped up by the tail of one of the students.
They all looked sheepishly at Jean, then at themselves and laughed, the tension draining away as they got in the van.
Things had certainly gone very wrong for the bad guys this time eh?
3 Newbies and Losing Streaks
Ellen and Dominic were worried because Gene's asthma inhaler was missing.
Gene's panicked face told the take when Sam asked if he could do without it.
Everyone pitched in and searched high and low for the inhaler.
Gene grew more panicked as time to take it came closer and then passed.
When Gene went into an attack of seizures, Ellen and Dominic followed closely as Scott and Logan rushed him into a clinic in nearby San Carlington that treated mutants especially, and barely kept him from getting very sick.
As was par with this trip, whatever could go wrong, did.
4 - Interlude: the Newbies: Dis, Decibel, and Red Knight : introductions 1
Dominic, Gene, and Ellen had a tendency to hang out together.
They had all come from the same school.
Ellen and Gene with their mutant powers and Dominic with his every-day human desire to be with his friends no matter what.
He had ironically become the most capable engineer and mechanic at Xavier's in short shrift, not through mutant abilities but through sheer stubbornness.
Gene was a shy kid, with severe asthma, who nonetheless wielded the power to disintegrate matter.
Ellen, on the other hand was loud, her sonic power to increase and decrease sound coming in handy in a school.
5 Of Bad Days and Breakfasts Best Forgotten
Breakfast had been a insane this morning, and as far as Rogue was concerned, it was best left forgotten.
She tried not to remember the taste of the eggs and meat that was breakfast, or the smells of the restaurant.
She also tried to ignore the non-existent suspension in the station wagon they were now riding in.
She was half tempted to steal Lorna's powers and fly above the convoy for the day rather than continue this ride.
She had a chance to change rides but that was of course when she got vomited on.
She sighed and gave up.
6 Spills and Thrills
Logan sighed with relief as they pulled into the very upscale parking lot of the restaurant where they were having lunch.
Warren was buying this time and thus they were having much better food than breakfast.
Which warren said he would defect to Magneto's side rather than eat again.
Logan wasn't sure half the team wouldn't join him, so they had arranged this.
As they stepped outside, a gang of roughnecks on motorbike roared up just in time to spoil out on some ice bobby was showing off with.
Logan sighed and just knew this was going to be bad.
7 The Jitterbug
Scott saw Jean and he hugged and kissed her, before turning to his brother and the others, and welcoming the new kids as Jean introduced them .
"This is Thomas, Alison, Cappella, Ignucio, and Magda. This is Scott Summers, he is one of the instructors."
They all muttered or shouted greetings and Scott led them to the table.
Lunch went well, but Capella was nervous, jumping when anyone said anything to her and when she was startled bad her shriek made the chairs dance, dumping everyone.
People were scared and panic ensued.
they managed to get the kids safe and free.
8 The Magnificent Nightcrawler
On the road, on a field trip from hell, there were worse things then having to share a small front seat with yer girlfriend.
Like sharing it with yer girlfriend and the too charming Kurt, who had said girlfriend in stitches from bad jokes and small sleights of hand.
Scott wondered how this plan had gone so badly so quickly.
he sighed.
For this trip it was par for the course.
At least he was getting a lot of exercise in strengthening his mental shields keeping Jean from sensing his annoyance and what he would love to do to Kurt...
9 Missed Moments and Sweet Moments
Rogue managed to sneak some time in with Warren. the two talked through the day.
They impulsively kissed once.
Rogue blushed thinking about it.
It was sweet and tender.
She felt like a school girl with a crush, but their connection was growing.
She enjoyed sitting next to him on the trip and soon, was holding his hand gently.
They found lots to talk about and as the hours went on, they had lots of fun, until Jubes accidentally sparked the fabric of the upholstery, causing an emergency bailout until Bobby could flash freeze the mess.
The moment was ruined.
10 Stormy Flashes
Ororo oversaw preparations for accommodations at the Landmare Hotel.
she was enjoying the field trip turned road trip and, while she saw what had happened already, hoped the others were having fun at least.
After getting the others settled she went on her balcony to enjoy the night, using her powers to bring the breezes.
She slipped on a slippery place her mind flinched and the clouds overhead grew dark and ominous and broke in a raging storm.
She struggled to get control of it and could feel the Professor in her mind helping her.
She wrestled control back and collapsed exhausted.
11 Nightmares of Murphy's Gone By
Scott tossed and turned in his bed, his dreams coming alive.
The strange vessel was firing on the plane and his brother was screaming.
They had decided to take a trip in their father's plane so that Dad could show up the snotty Professor who had doubted his prowess after the recent field trip to the Aeronautics Institute.
They all just wanted fun and peace, but the aliens apparently didnt care.
Scott was made to jump with his brother and falling, he saw the plane explode.
With tears in his eyes he wondered how things could have gone so horribly wrong.
12 Sex Can be Hazardous to Yer health 1
Scott and Jean made their way to each other late at night, both victims of sleeplessness followed by nightmares.
They had talked and snuggled and passion built.
They entered her room and slowly removed each other's clothes, Jean marveling at his physique as he gasped at her beauty.
They had never done this before and they akwardly came together.
Jean moved one way and he another and for one moment he sank into her, until she bucked just wrong and he twisted just right and he fell off the side of the bed, wrenching himself on the way down.
He lay groaning and sighed.
13 Sex Can be Hazardous to Yer health 2
The night seemed to quiet down and not a person was stirring, even an X-man.
Until, that is two youngsters snuck out of their rooms and rendezvoused together.
They kissed and awkwardly explored each other and when they came together, groaned in delight.
Then one of them accidentally his the fire alarm.
And the whole building woke up. they tried to get dressed fast, but tripped themselves up in the darkness and fell out a window.
Thankfully, warren was able to lower them safely.
Leaving them naked.
In public.
He and Rogue had a lot of explaining to do.
To Be Continued...
