X-Men Evolution and GI Joe characters? Don't own 'em! Well I came up with this idea after finishing up 'This Soap Opera Called Life'. This is just some madness that sprung from my demented mind. I have no idea where this is going right now but won't it be fun to find out?
Living With Mutants Is Hazardous To Your Health
Chapter 1: Wake Up Call
To say that the past few weeks had been stressful for Vi and Carl Daniels was an understatement. Their only son Evan was now in jail awaiting trial for murder. Before he had been the subject of a massive manhunt that had resulted in a riot which had burned down an entire street. There had been reporters on their doorstep trying to barge in their personal lives. Most of their friends had stopped speaking to them and they were barraged with hate mail. On top of it they were nearly murdered by the FOH and their house was set on fire.
It had been a lousy few weeks.
Realizing how dangerous it was as well as they were low on funds for an indefinite stay at a hotel, the Daniels had no choice but to go live with their sister temporarily. This would be hard enough under most circumstances but since she lived at the infamous Xavier Institute filled with mutants it was going to be a nightmare.
The morning after they moved in both Carl and Vi were sound asleep in their room. The previous day had been trying enough meeting new people and being discharged from the hospital so they decided to sleep in and get a good rest.
"DRAKE HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO ICE THE HALLS?" Rogue could be heard screaming outside their door.
"YOU WANNA REMINDER?" Tabitha could be heard next. The sound of several explosions could be heard as well as a high pitched scream.
"WILL YOU PEOPLE KNOCK IT OFF?" Scott shouted. "YEOW! TABITHA!"
"What time is it?" Vi moaned, her eyes still closed.
"Six in the morning," Carl looked at the clock. "So much for sleeping in."
"Carl stop licking my ear," Vi giggled.
"I'm not licking your ear," Carl said. "Oh god…."
Vi opened her eyes and saw a purple dragon on her stomach. "Rarr?" Lockheed blinked. Then he licked her face.
"Has anybody seen Lockheed?" Kitty asked in the hallway.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Vi's scream could be heard all through the mansion. "GET THIS THING OFF OF ME!"
"I think my sister has found him," Ororo sighed. She opened the door and Lockheed flew out into Kitty's arms.
"GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!" Vi shouted, holding a lamp in her hands. "THAT THING TRIED TO EAT MY FACE!" She shook it at Lockheed.
"Lockheed would like never do that!" Kitty told her. "He was just being friendly and saying hello!"
"Trust me," Logan sighed as he walked up to them. "He won't eat you. Annoy the hell out of you in the morning and leave a lot of drool on your face but he won't eat you."
"Oh god, I have dragon drool on my hair…" Vi moaned as she put her hand to where Lockheed licked.
"I'm sorry about this Vi," Ororo said. "I won't happen again."
"It better not!" Vi snapped. "Unless that lizard wants to become a purse!"
BOOM!
"Tabitha! Enough with the time bombs already!" Ray shouted.
"Sorry! It was me this time!" Forge called out. "One of my walking cherry bombs got loose."
"Walking cherry bombs?" Jean shouted. "How do you make a walking cherry bomb? Why would you make a walking cherry bomb?"
"Thunderbird dared me too," Forge told her. "It's just a little wind up thing and the motor got over wound and…"
"Cool! Can I see them?" Jamie asked.
"NO!" Both Jean and Forge shouted at him.
"WILL ALL OF YOU PEOPLE SHUT UP?" Logan roared. "SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!"
"Not anymore," Carl moaned.
"I'm really sorry Carl, Vi," Ororo sighed. "We have an early Danger Room session this morning. We'll try to be quieter in the future."
"How many times a week do you have these 'early' sessions?" Carl asked.
"Not often," Logan shrugged. "Only four or five times a week. Should be every day but…"
"I think we'd better round up the students," Ororo interrupted Logan and started pushing him away. "Students! Please report to the Danger Room quietly."
Of course that was what they didn't do. Vi and Carl stood in shock as all the students ran past them wearing spandex uniforms. When they were gone they just stood there. "Vi…" Carl finally spoke. "Please tell me this is a bad dream."
"I wish," Vi groaned. "Let's take stock of our lives. Our son is in jail awaiting his murder trial. Our home has been burned to the ground. And we are living with maniacs…And a dragon."
"&$$$!" Doop sang happily as he floated by them.
"And Slimer from Ghostbusters," Vi finished.
"It's official," Carl sighed. "We're in Hell…"
What will happen to the Daniels? Wait and see what madness my mind comes up with!
