"I can't believe you guys talked me into this," Bobby groaned as seven of the X-men snuck down the halls from their respected rooms and towards the entrance hall.
"We didn't talk you into this Bobby, you're tagging along," Jean hissed aggravated.
"Oh."
Morgan snickered at his intelligent reply.
"Shut up Morgan," Bobby growled shoving her playfully.
"Would you two quit flirtin', we gotta go if we wanna get there anytime soon," Scott scolded.
"We could take the Hummer," Kael, a sophomore thought as the crept along.
"No."
"Yeah, we could like, manually open the garage doors," Kitty said getting a high-five from Bobby.
"No," Scott said again.
"And we can push the car outside the gates!" Morgan exclaimed earning a few hushes from her friends.
"No," Scott replied a final time.
Rogue smirked thinking, "You can drive."
Scott thought for a second, "Okay."
-----
"Wait so run this by me again. We're supposed to spend the night at Apex, just for some stupid bragging rights!" Jamie exploded causing most of the pipes in the Brotherhood Mansion to rattle and threaten to burst.
"And you missed the part that the X-Babies are going to be there," Alyson groaned from the couch.
"Oh, yes, and the beloved X-Men will be there too. Great! Fantastic! Good goin' Speedy!" Jamie yelled storming off to the upstairs rooms.
"Jamie!" Lance pleaded following his sister upstairs. "WAH!" he screamed and charged back down as a tidal wave ripped down the stairs and out the door.
"Don't ya jus love when family fights?" Remy asked sitting on the couch next to Alyson.
"Say Cajun, Morgan didn't happen to be there did she?" Alyson asked.
"Why does Bronze want to know?" Remy questioned.
"Shut it Gumbo and answer."
"Yes the Cloak was there," Remy sighed.
"Score!" Alyson jumped off the couch. She ran into the kitchen and nearly tackled Pietro who was trying to find some food. "So when are we going?"
"Uhhh, nightfall?" Pietro squeaked pushing the hyper freshman off of himself.
"Yay!" she squealed and ran upstairs to get ready.

"So what's the story with this Apex place anyway?" Morgan asked leaning up from the backseat to be seen and heard.
Scott looked over at Jean who sighed and looked over her shoulder. "Well, the story started up in the seventies again, but it had been around since Bayville was a colony. Four sisters grew up in Adock Mansion, they were Catherine or Cat, Jade, Pearl and Rose. They lived in the house even when they were older and at the age of eligibility. Rose and Pearl met two boys in the market, and invited them over for dinner. At the dinner the boys met Jade and Cat, and fell for them, instead of the Rose and Pearl."
"They became jealous and in turn, murdered their sisters, Rose tied Jade to the tree one night and hung her in their front yard. Pearl pushed Cat from their third floor window. Days after the first two sisters died, the two boys were found dead in the basement and Rose had been burned in their furnace, no one ever found Pearl, some say she was buried alive, and others say that she killed the others off and ran away," Jean finished sighing.
"BOO!" Bobby said grabbing onto Morgan's arm and neck.
"AHH!!" She screamed and clung to the seat in front, squeezing the person on it, who was Kael.
"Oh stop it Morgan, you're not scared," Kael scolded.
"How would you know you big meanie," she said swatting at Bobby next to her.
"Because I'm empathic." Kael smiled shaking his head.

Lance sat in the Brotherhood's kitchen finishing his dinner when their youngest member, Alyson came in.
"Hey Lance, what's up with this Apex?"
"The Apex?" Lance asked back.
"Yeah, the Apex, what's so spooky about it?" Alyson asked stealing a french fry.
"These four witches took haven one night in that mansion. They created their coven there. And they liked to hold their meetings there, they even did a few sacrifices here and there, but one day two local kids went over to see what was going on at the house and they came across the witches brewing a potion. The witches found the boys and killed them, burying their mutilated remains in the basement. Well when the boys from town were gone for a few days, people cried witch, and the four girls were killed. One was hung, another burned at the stake, one was drugged and buried alive and the fourth was thrown from the roof," Lance said.
"I hardly believe in fairy tales, Lance," Alyson smirked.
"No, but wait, what those withes were doing, the night they killed those two boys, was opening up a portal to the dead. The dead could past through that house anytime they wanted. And the four witches still haunt the mansion, taking lives here and there."
"Wow," Alyson gulped. "That's interesting."
"You don't know the half of it," Lance smirked. "The portal the opened that night is still there, no witch these days dares to go in alone to close it, not even Wanda."
"Other spirits are there, cher, they haunt the Apex," Remy said getting a glass of water. "Waiting for fresh blood," he said and took a large sip.
At this point Alyson stare amazed and afraid at the two older boys in front of her.
They tried to keep their faces straight and solemn as Pietro crept up behind her.
"That's kinda creepy, that that, -AAAHHH!" Alyson released a blood curdling scream.
Pietro burst out laughing as he hung onto Alyson's shoulders.
"Pietro!" Alyson yelled as she whipped around in her seat.
"You should've seen your face!" Lance laughed holding his sides.
Alyson turned back to glare at the laughing boys.
"Oui, mon aime, I've never seen your beautiful face look so horrid!" It was priceless!" Remy chuckled.
"Ooo!" Alyson growled and hurled a fork at his head, which embedded itself in the cabinet next to him.
"Cher!" Gambit called.
"Bite me Gumbo!" Alyson yelled throwing her chair back and storming into the living room.
"Bronze know dat Remy would, if Bronze ask Remy nice," he grinned following her.
"Remy!" she growled as he squeezed her butt and she turned to swat him.
Pietro and Lance chuckled from the kitchen as Wanda, Jamie and Caleb came downstairs. "Everybody ready?" Lance asked.
With the chorus of 'yeahs' and 'sures', Pietro saluted and waved to them, "See you slow pokes there!" and took off out the front door.
Lance shook his head growling and headed out the door with Wanda, Jamie and Caleb behind him. "You comin' Alyson?"
"Naw I'm good!" she called walking out the door.
"Da femme jus wans ta ride wid a real man" Gambit laughed slipping his arm around her shoulders.
Alyson rolled her eyes, "Dream on Cajun. I've got my own means of transportation," she walked forward and released her leathery draconic wings and took flight.
Gambit shook his head smiling and mounted his bike heading towards Apex.

Yeah so.. I think that's about it... okay then, Remy is a part of the Brotherhood, I really don't think that Magz will play any role what so ever in this fic, but I could be wrong, maybe later. But Gambit is a member of the Brotherhood... umm family ties might help here too..
Jamie is Lance's younger sister.
Morgan and Alyson are twins that don't normally get along (hence the different teams), Caleb is there half-brother by father.
Kael is a random OC.
Pietro and Wanda, obviously, are brother and sister.
And that's it! Hope you enjoyed this chapter.. and remember R&R please!
