I'm posting this really quick, so I can't do shout-outs, but thanks to the three people reviewed! I love you and will shout-out when I have time.

(This is telepathy, just so you know)

Disclaimer: It's a kill instinct.

OOO

Mastermind woke that morning with a terrible headache, most likely caused by his revenge last night. Then again, it could have been the explosions echoing of off the metal walls of the base, or the screams of frustration and rage that always followed them.

Mastermind yawned and turned over, fully intending to sleep through whatever insanity Pyro had decided to create today.

OOO

"Gambit, please tell me how to turn your powers off!"

(I don't know! I just do it! It's instinct or something!)

Magneto cursed as his/Gambit's glowing hands accidentally brushed against a wall and he inadvertently charged said wall. Magneto could only roll his/Gambit's eyes as he waited for the inevitable "boom."

OOO

Another explosion shook the base. Mastermind wondered idly if Pyro had decided to be the absolute craziest he could be, or if Gambit was in a really foul mood.

Deciding it didn't really matter, Mastermind went back to sleep, pausing only to brush a dead squirrel off the edge of his bed.

OOO

Gambit/Magneto walked carefully down the hall towards Mastermind and Sabertooth's room, hands held out in front of him/them to avoid any more accidental explosions.

Pyro chose to walk by at that precise moment.

"If I may ask, what the 'ell are you doin'?" Pyro grinned in amusement.

"Pyro, go fetch Mastermind! I need to have a word with him!" Magneto commanded. However, since Magneto was inhabiting Gambit's body, and Pyro had no knowledge of this, Pyro heard Gambit bossing him around in an accent-less voice.

"Whut got into you, mate? Where'd your accent go?" Pyro's grin was replaced with a look of confusion.

"You imbecile. I'll deal with you later," Magneto stormed off, still completely in control of Gambit's body. Pyro looked after him in confusion.

(You know, you could've explained what was going on,) Gambit's "voice" told Magneto.

"I can't do that! Everyone will think I've gone mad! It would be horrible for recruitment, 'come join the crazy guy who thinks he's in his lackey's body!'"

(Wrong, everyone will think I've gone mad, you're in my body, remember?)

"How could I forget? You remind me every two seconds. Good Lord, I must be insane...perhaps I should call Charles..."

(Homme, if you think you're crazy, you probably ain't. And how's about we talk to Mastermind first? Get him to undo whatever it was he did?)

"Yes, yes, go talk to Mastermind..." Magneto muttered. It struck him as slightly odd that Gambit was being the voice of reason, but he let it slide.

OOO

Mastermind finally woke up when his door exploded, revealing a very angry-looking Gambit.

"Mastermind! Perhaps you could explain what you did to me last night?" Magneto growled angrily.

(That sounds so wrong.)

Mastermind chuckled to himself as his telepathy picked up Gambit's comment.

"I'm waiting for an explanation, Mastermind," Magneto said.

"Right, right," Mastermind said, "Well, since you treated me like crap last night, I decided that you needed to be punished, so I put your mind in Gambit's body."

(And what did Gambit do to deserve this!)

"I've never liked you. You're too...pretty," Mastermind explained.

"Who gave you the right to punish me, the Master of Magnetism!" Magneto growled.

"Who gave you the right to treat me like an inferior?"

"I'm the Master of Magnetism!"

"So? I'm the Master of Illusions!"

"I'm stronger than you! Illusions are just that, illusions, easily destroyed with enough mental effort. Magnetism holds the world together! Without it, we'd all die and geese would crash into each other in the sky!" Magneto argued.

"SO! Without...um...imagination, we'd all die too!" Mastermind yelled knavishly.

(No, we'd just be really boring,) Gambit remarked as he joined the argument.

"Enough!" Magneto shouted, "Whatever your reasons, Mastermind, I'mdemanding that you return me to my proper body!"

"How about...no?" Mastermind said, sounding amazingly like an impudent child.

"How DARE you! I'm the Master of Magnetism!"

(Here we go again...)

"And I'm sure that somewhere, there are people who care," Mastermind retorted.

"I've had just about enough of your sass, Mastermind!"

"Is that so?"

"Yes. I have half a mind to kill you right now."

(Would both of you just shut up? This is going nowhere!)

"I'd like to see you try!"

"Would you? That could be arranged..."

(SHUT UP!) Gambit screamed mentally. Mastermind and Magneto winced.

(Now, howzabout Mastermind puts Magneto back where he belongs--)

"--You mean in the deepest circle of hell?"

"This close to killing you, Mastermind. This close," Magneto warned as he held up two fingers.

(I told you both to shut up! Mastermind puts Magneto back in his body, and Magneto promises to be nice to Mastermind from now on,) Gambit finished.

"I want that in writing!" Mastermind demanded.

"I'm not going to be nice after he did this to me!"

The argument raged on for some time after that. Gambit gave up on trying to be peacekeeper and just sat back. He figured that they'd have to stop arguing eventually. His one concern was that all of Magneto's screaming was going to make his sexy voice hoarse, but that didn't seem to likely.

He honestly didn't think they could shout it out for quite that long.

OOO

Review please!
