Chapter 9 – Hello Evil...

Magneto's Quarters, the House of the Brotherhood, evening

He didn't hear them anymore, the soundproofing of his quarters was working well. That wasn't the real problem, he was figuring out. He could still 'feel' them, their presence. It was infuriating, to be sure, but he would survive. They were the future, whether they knew it or not. His Brotherhood of Mutants, following a different path than Charles and his ridiculous 'Institute'. Mutantkind wasn't here to live side by side with humans, but rather to rule them, eventually taking over as the dominate species on the planet. The Brotherhood was were young mutant minds could be shaped in the correct fashion. They, along with his Acolytes, would finish the war that humans had started. The Acolytes were currently overseas, picking up a new recruit, Piotr Rasputin. He had lost both his parents, and his younger sister, and was of the right mind to believe in Magneto's dream. 'I should have them check on Arkady while they are there' Magneto mused, 'He would be a wonderful addition to the Acolytes.' He grabbed a cell phone from his desk, and dialed Mystique.

Weight Room, the Institute, 3 Days after the Poker Night

Mally was finishing his reps on the incline leg press machine. They really didn't have enough weight to challenge his legs, but Mr. Logan had ordered more. He had spent most of the afternoon with the Wolverine, Mr. Logans 'alter ego', learning some great kicks and jumps to use for 'self-defense', as Mr. Logan always said. He had really liked Wolverine's claws, until yesterday, when he told Mally that they broke his skin every time he unleashed them. "It hurts, but ya get used ta it.", he had said but it kind of made Mally sick to think about. He had 'claws' too, but basically just really dense finger and toenails, not long, and only really good for digging and scraping.

Rahne walked in on his last two reps, and he couldn't resist a little teasing. "9,999, 10,000. Whew! Not bad fer a ten minute set, eh dingo?" He hopped up, going into a muscle man pose.

"Yer dreamin', ya couldn't hurt no one with those itty bitty arms! And lookit that chicken chest! Surprised ye don't have feathers instead of fur!" Rahne giggled, pushing him playfully in the chest. "Mr. Logan said you were in here. What are ye doin'? Ya bettah get cleaned up if ye wanta take me ta the pictures!"

Mally smiled. "9 o'clock show right? I'll be ready. You're gonna fix yer hair before we go, right?"

Rahne growled, knowing he knew that she had already done her hair, and it was looking good, she might add. She picked up a towel, and began twirling it into a 'rat tail'. "Ye better start hoppin' now, silly rabbit, cause with a bum the size o' yourn, I won't be missin'!

Mally's eyes got big. He knew by now that escape was his only choice. He hopped side to side to throw her off a bit, then hopped thru the doorway to the boys locker room. 'Saved!" he thought, leaning back against the door. "I ain't scared, ye hairy beast! Lemme in there!" he heard thru the door. 'Dear God, I created a monster!' Mally thought, pushing back even harder.

Rec room, Brotherhood House, evening

Wanda was bored. She didn't want to play video games with Lance and Tabitha, she didn't want to watch TV with John and her brother Pietro, and she didn't want to do ANYTHING with Todd. Not that she had a choice, as the little dolt followed her around the house like a puppy. Her father was upstairs, and did not want to be disturbed, as usual, and the other grown-up types were away.

She picked up the newspaper, and got out the entertainment portion. 'Maybe a movie,' she thought, 'I wonder if anything good is playing?' She scanned the ads. 'This Van Helsing one looks good, it's about vampires, and it's got that hottie, Hugh Jackman in it.' She put down the paper. "I have decided that we are going to a movie tonight," she said to the others, "all of us. Todd, I will allow you to buy my ticket, but DO NOT refer to this as a date. EVER. It begins at 9 o'clock, so be ready." Todd was just nodding like an idiot.

The others grumbled a bit, they hated when Wanda acted like a bitch queen, but since they really had nothing else to do, they put up no fight.

"At least the Queen B picked out a good one..." moaned Tabitha, getting up to change clothes.

Mally's room, the Institute, around 8:30 p.m.

Sam was sitting at Mally's desk, trying to keep his palms from sweating. "Ah mean, ah can't believe she said yes. Jubilee is way, way outta mah league! What em ah gonna do?" Sam put his head in his hands.

"Just cool out, mate, she wouldn't have said yes if she didn't at least like yer company, so just be yourself, you'll be fine." Mally sounded more confident than he felt. He and Rahne had been hanging out the past two days like peas in a pod, but this was their first date, Mally's first date ever.

!BAMPH!

"Vhich one, vhich one?!" Kurt cried, holding out two shirts, one black, one purple. "Vhich one do you tink Kätzchen vill like best? Help Me!" Sam and Mally were nervous, but Kurt was downright scared. He had already taken three showers.

"Won't matter mate, til we get back home. We're gonna be wearin' our watches, right? But I say the purple one – goes good with yer fur." Mally said, trying to calm Kurt down.

"Yeah, ah say purple too. Black'll make you look more evil, elfie." Sam added.

"Ok, the purple one then." Kurt looked at his 'watch'. "Mein Gott, it is 8:35 already! We must get downstairs to meet the girls. Come! Let's go!" he said grabbing both of them.

!BAMPH!

The entrance hall, the Institute, 8:45 p.m.

Three 'women' came walking down the staircase towards the three boys. Kurt gulped audibly, then started a 'Hail Mary' under his breath. Kitty was wearing one of those short-short skirts, and a spaghetti strap tank top that was like a second skin. Rahne had on a 'little black dress' thingy, which made her skin look even more like ivory, and she had changed her hair again after chasing Mally to sexy little pigtails. Jubilee wore an ankle length skirt, and a yellow short sleeve turtleneck shirt, and looked like a little doll.

Mally smiled at Rahne, enjoying the view. She smiled back at him, reaching out to take his hand.

"You look rippa, dingo. Care ta step out with me?" Mally asked.

"I'd be delighted, thank you, ye silly rabbit." Rahne replied.

Jubilee made puking noises. "Oh God, they already have cute names for each other. Gross!" She walked over to Sam. "Come on Sammy, lets get rockin'."

He took her hand, smiling, already losing some of his nervousness. "Yes, ma'am, mah pleasure."

Kätzchen, you look erotisch, er, very beautiful. I never realized you had such pretty......" Kurt stammered.

"Legs?" Kitty said smiling. She had hoped he would notice. "Thanks Kurt, that's really sweet of you. You look good too, I like love that shirt on you."

"Come on moviegoers, if we don't hustle we're gonna be late. You can check out her legs all movie long for all I care! Lets go!" Jubilee stuck her tongue out at Kitty, who was giving her a dirty look.

They walked outside to the motor pool. "Which one?" Rahne asked.

"The Hummer," said Sam, who was driving, "Mr. Logan said we could take the H2 if'n we were careful with it."

"Cool, I love the H2", piped Kurt, "its like being a star or the governor of California or something." He turned to Kitty. "Is your name Sarah Conner?" he mimicked, pretty convincingly with his accent. Kitty giggled, touching his arm.

They all climbed in the vehicle, Sam cranked it, and they took off for the movieplex.

Bayville Movieplex, Cinema 2, mid-movie

Wanda was enjoying the movie a lot. It was dark, with lots of action, and the Van Helsing dude was kicking ass. She had told Todd that he could not sit next to her, she did not want to smell him thru the whole movie. He did have his uses though. She leaned forward, looking down the row. "Todd," she hissed, "go get me some ju-ju beans and a Coke."

"Ok, beautiful, sure, no problem. I'm on it, yo!" Todd jumped up and tore out of the cinema. On his way to the candy stand, he stopped to use the bathroom. He ducked into a stall to do his business.

"......I never thought legs could be so long, I svear she is an angel from Gott. You know vhat I am saying Sam? She came from ze Heavens just for me!"

Todd knew that voice. It was that fuzzy blue german freak from the Institute, Kurt. 'Some of those losers must be at the movies too,' thought Todd. 'I'll have to tell Wanda when I get back.' He stayed in the stall until Kurt and Sam left, then went to the snack bar for Wanda's stuff.

Bayville Movieplex, parking lot

Wanda and her boys were standing on the sidewalk in front of the Movieplex, waiting. Todd had told them that two losers from Xavier's were at the movies also. Six on two were their kind of odds. Besides, she was feeling angry, and picking on those goody-goodies was just the ticket.

"There they are," said her brother Pietro, "Just they got the kitty, the dog, and bottle rocket face with them. Also some new guy, a red head. Man, he's tall, whatta freak."

"Nice info, Froggy," John said, snapping his lighter. "What a bloomin' idiot."

"Yo, I told you what I saw. Go light a fart, butane breath!" Todd shouted.

"Save it boys, let's go say hello..." Wanda started walking towards the big H2 the Institute kids were walking to.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They walked to the car talking about the movie they had seen, Spider-Man 2. "The CGI in that movie is so awesome! It almost looks like the real Spider-Man swingin' around. And Doc Ock was cool too!" Kitty loved anything 'computer'.

Mally spoke before thinking. "Spidey's actually a bit bigger in real life."

"How do you know? Been web-slinging with him before?" Jubilee smirked.

"Ah, right, no, just from seein' him on the TV." Mally shared a smile with Rahne.

"Hello X-Geeks! What, it's half price for losers tonight?" Lance jibed.

Jubilee spun on him. "You should know, loser. Go shake yourself!"

"Shut up, you little sparkler. Hey mutt, who's the new guy?" Wanda asked Rahne.

Rahne got beet red. "Don't call me mutt, ye little witch! Bollocks to ya!"

Mally spoke up. "Hello mates, me name's Mally. And you Missy, watch how ya speak to me friend Rahne. A lady would know better."

Wanda laughed. "Oh, the tall red monkey scares me. Todd, defend my 'honor' please."

Toad smiled. "My pleasure, beautiful." He turned to Mally. "Lights out, big red." Toad sprung at Mally using his powerful legs. Just as they were about to hit, Mally jumped straight up...about 40 feet. Toad smashed into a station wagon, knocking himself silly.

"Well, well, a jumper. Nice power. I bet they kicked you out of the homeland because of ya stupid power, ya drongo." John said when Mally landed.

!BAMPH! !BAMPH!

The lighter was snatched out of St. John's hand.

!BAMPH! !BAMPH!

"Smoking vill stunt your growth, Johnny. And children shouldn't play with fire." Kurt smiled, holding the lighter, as the others laughed.

"He does more than jump, ye bloody bastard, and he'd beat you anyday." Rahne cried.

"Yeah, an if 'n he don't, ah will. You too rockhead," Sam said to both John and Lance. "Juss leave us alone and go home."

"Gimme back my lighter!" John wailed.

Kurt opened the Zippo up, took out the flint, and tossed it back to St. John.

"Thanks, ass." John mumbled.

"Right, well, it sure was nice to meet you types, hope to do it again soon...not. Lets go, guys, I'm hungry." Mally turned to the H2.

"Yo!", Todd yelled, getting up, "Eat this, you geek!" He spat a wad of his flemmy goo at Mally.

Mally blocked it with his hand, but the goo destroyed his image inducer. Mally's 'human' form shimmered, then disappeared.

"Bloody Hell," John breathed, "He's a damn Joey!"

Mally looked down at Rahne. "Will the Professor or Logan be mad if I punt these bozos?"

"Only if they find out, an I ain't gonna tell a soul." She gave him an evil smile.

"Right, then." Mally turned to Todd. "You first frog face." He jumped the distance between them. As he was about to land, Todd jumped up and away from him. Mally just 'bounced' instead of landing, and shot up after him. Mally arced a little higher, right over top Todd, who looked up at him, ready to spit.

!WHAM!

Mally drove his foot right into Todd's chin, snapping his head back and stunning him. Todd hit the ground hard, barely stopping his fall. His nose was bleeding. "Jesus, that dork can kick!" He looked at his 'friends'. "Thanks for the help, yo."

Wanda looked from Todd to Mally. "If you were any good, you wouldn't need our help, warty." With that she shot Mally with a hex bolt, knocking him down.

"Uhg, what was that?" Mally said, raising to a knee.

Rahne ran over to him. "She shoots hexes of some sort, are ye alright?" Mally nodded.

Kitty walked up to Wanda. "You know, Lance was right about you. You are a bitch."

Wanda eyes opened in anger. She looked from Kitty to Lance, then back to Kitty. She fired a hex bolt at Kitty, but Kitty just phased, letting it pass thru her. Then she phased back to normal, and promptly smacked Wanda across the face.

Wanda looked up, tears in her eyes. "You HIT me!"

Kitty smiled. "Yes, I did. And I'll do it again if you don't let us go in peace right now."

Pietro was by his sisters side in a millisecond. "You wont do anything to her girl. Back off. Now."

"Fine by me Petey. She goes, I go." Kitty stood her ground. Kurt had moved up beside her.

A small crowd was forming, and Wanda knew she had to go before someone called the cops, or worse, the media. Her father would not be happy if he saw them on TV.

"Fine. Let's go boys, it's starting to smell around here anyway. I think kangaroo's smell worse than frogs." The Brotherhood gathered and walked away, looking over their shoulders and flipping them off.

"Mein Gott," Kurt sighed, "Those guys are a pain. We can't even have a night out without them bugging us."

"Ah don't understand why we can't all just be friends," Sam drawled. "Ah mean we got stuff in common an all."

"Who the devil are they?" Mally asked.

"They call themselves the Brotherhood, and they all live together. Wanda the Witch and Pietro the speedy one are brother and sister. The Toad guy you fought with is Todd Tolansky, and the other Aussie is St. John Allerdyce, he controls fire. The girl standing in the back is Tabitha Smith, she can make these bombs with her hands, and the tall boy is Lance Alvers, and he can do earthquake type stuff. He tried to date Kitty last year, but he's got some problems. They all live with Wanda and Pietro's dad." Jubilee told Mally.

"Crikey, whats their dad do? Move mountains?" Mally wondered.

"He probably could if he wanted to. His name is Eric Magnus Lensher. You know, the guy they call Magneto."

"Wait, you mean the fellow Professor X told me about?" Mally was shocked.

"Yeppers. The one and only." Jubilee smirked.

"Right here in our town? Not rippa, very not rippa."
