A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Hearings
"Three days of this?" Kelly moaned. "I won't make it…I won't make it!"
"Oh come on," Fred said cheerfully. "Let's play the Name Game again!"
"NO!" Kelly shouted. "NO MORE GAMES! ESPECIALLY CLUE!"
"Don't tell me you have something against board games now?" Xi asked.
"I do if insane mutant teenagers play them!" Kelly shouted. "This is a nightmare!"
"Well cheer up," Althea said. "The first hearing is this afternoon. How about we watch a movie?"
"Movie time! Movie time!" Pietro clapped and cheered.
"God where are those terrorists when you need them?" Kelly moaned. An explosion shook the building. "ALVERS!"
"That wasn't me," Lance gulped. "I guess they're here!"
"Of all the times for God to listen to me!" Kelly screamed.
That's when the window exploded. The next thing the Misfits knew the window was on fire. "It's gotta be Pyro!" Althea grumbled. "Get Kelly out of here! I'll take care of him!" She managed to get to the bathroom and turned on the faucets. She used the water and her powers to douse out the fire, then ran after her team.
She ran downstairs and saw several mutants fighting. She saw her teammates fight several of Magneto's henchmen. "Oh goody!" Althea started to fight her way through the crowd. "Excuse me! Coming through!"
Someone grabbed her by the shoulder. Althea broke free and was about to punch her attacker's lights out when she saw it was Kitty. "What are you guys doing here?" Both of them shouted at the same time.
"We're here to guard Kelly from a mutant attack. You?" Althea asked.
"Same thing," Kitty said. "But we kind of had advanced warning on this…"
"How? Never mind!" Althea punched out another mutant advancing on them. "So where's Kelly?"
"I was gonna ask you that!" Kitty shouted.
"Oh great!" Althea groaned. "HEY YOU GUYS WHERE DID YOU STASH KELLY?"
The X-Men and Misfits looked at each other for a second. "DON'T YOU HAVE HIM?" They shouted at each other.
"HELP ME!" They heard Kelly shout. Several mutants ran towards the nearest room. Of course some of them were the bad guys so some X-Men and Misfits had to deal with them. Todd, Xi, Kitty, Althea and Logan managed to make their way through the crowd the fastest. They ran into a room and saw Kelly cowering in the corner.
Near him there were not one, but two Gambits fighting each other. "It's Mystique!" Gambit number one shouted. "She's impersonating me!"
"No she's impersonating me!" The Other Gambit shouted.
"Two Gambits?" Todd looked back and forth. "Great how do we tell which is which?"
"We blast them both," A tall muscular black man spoke. He was wearing a strange blue armored uniform and an M tattooed on his face stood there with a very large futuristic weapon.
"Oh great!" Kelly screamed. "More freaks!"
"Who are you calling a freak?" One of the Gambits snarled.
"Bishop I don't think we'll need to resort to that," Kitty said. "Xi? If you don't mind?"
"Hold still," Xi approached them.
"Stay back Lizard!" One Gambit shouted and backed away.
"Go right ahead and touch me!" The other Gambit offered his hand. "I got nothing to hide!"
Xi took his hand and blinked. "Unless Mystique suddenly learned how to create biokinetic energy this is the real one."
"Give it up Mystique!" Logan roared.
"Stay back!" Mystique morphed into her true form and grabbed Kelly. "Unless you want to see the good senator's brains smattered against the wall!" She pulled out a hidden knife and held it to his throat.
"You have no idea what you are doing lady," Bishop growled.
"On the contrary," Mystique said. "I am saving the mutant race from bigoted flatscans like him!"
"No you're condemning us all!" Bishop shouted.
"Shut up! Now I…" Mystique gasped as a blur ran by.
"Silly Mystique! Don't you know playing with knives is dangerous?" Pietro quipped as he held the knife.
"I can't take this anymore!" Kelly screamed as he ran out of the room.
"Hey come back here!" Althea shouted. Then she was knocked to the side as Mystique transformed herself into a huge elephant and charged out of the room, catching the mutants off guard and knocking them aside.
"I didn't know she could do that," Logan grunted.
"What put on over 400 pounds instantly?" Althea grunted. "Any woman can do that with a package of Dove bars. The trick is losing the weight!"
"I told you I didn't do it!" Remy shouted at Bishop.
"Wouldn't do it," Kitty corrected.
"Whatever! Let's get them!" Bishop shouted as he ran out. "We're wasting time!"
"The least you could do is say you're sorry!" Remy shouted after him.
"Am I missing something here?" Todd asked.
"You're missing a lot of things," Logan snapped as they ran out. They returned to the lobby of the hotel where there was nothing but destruction and some tired X-Men and Misfits. "Let me guess, they got away?"
"Yeah," Scott panted. "Good news is I don't think Magneto is here. Or Polaris or Legion."
"Must have sent his lackeys to do the job for him," Logan grunted. "Good news is Gambit's not a murderer. It was Mystique planning to frame him all along."
"And now Mystique's gone!" Kitty grumbled.
"So's Kelly!" Bishop snarled. "We have to find him!"
"We will Bishop," Xavier wheeled in with Hawk. "He is not far."
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" Fred shouted. "I'm lost!"
"Okay who is this fruit loop? Isn't he the nut that tried to kill you guys the other day?" Todd asked.
"Well yeah," Kurt gulped nervously as Bishop glared at him. "Only…He's not a nut."
"He ain't?" Todd asked. "Then what is he?"
"I'm from the future," Bishop said.
The Misfits all blinked and looked at Xavier. "I'm afraid it's true," Xavier sighed. "I've scanned his mind. If Senator Kelly is killed today, the results will end in a mutant holocaust and the enslavement of the entire human race."
"O-Kay," Pietro blinked. "This is new…"
Next: More fun with Days of Future Past! I'm obviously not going to go into the whole everybody dies in the future thing because its been overdone by now. See what happens in my take of it however!
