TEAMWORK

It wasn't too bad hangin' 'round here. Kurt became a full fledged membah of the X-men. Yeah, he was so proud of himself, yawn. Well, 'least he's happy. Took them as long as two weeks inta summer vacation ta get meh ta come 'round. Didn't really care for it. Not that Ah have a 'cause anyhow. They did keep their promises though, and Ah respect that. They had another blue, furry man explain the whole mutant thang ta meh, and Ah'll nevah ask anothah question again. He was nice but Mr. McCoy can go on and on in any subject.

Also, the Professor had been givin' meh some personal lessons, tryin' ta understand mah powers in hopes of bettah control. Ah got rid of Belle's car, even though Ah didn't wanna. None of them knew how Ah got it, but the last thang Ah need is somebody from back there findin' meh and here of all places. Mystique's, ha, who would care. Let'em tear down the place. But Ah found mahself startin' ta care 'bout this place. Ah'm still pretty close ta Wanda. We both sneak out sometime's and go out ta places like clubs and what not. She helps meh keep any guys at bay. Then she uses her powers and does some small things ta people for the fun of it. Last week, she tripped two people which caused a fight, made another guy throw his own drink in his face, and the bartender light a fire.

Ah've been trainin' in mah fightin' skills with Wolverine. Told him Ah didn't need it and that Ah held back in the past fights, but they all insisted. So, Ah showed them all what Ah had in a simulation and the only one who didn't drop their jaw was good ol' Logan. He just smirked and told meh, "Ya did good kid." So here Ah am in another simulation when some sort'a emergency pops up. 'Just mah luck.' So Ah head down to the War Room as the Professor starts to explain that there is a disturbance and all that blah blah stuff he always says about protecting humans and all that stuff. Ah'm already suited up so Ah head for the Blackbird and just wait there.

When we actually get ta where evah it was that we were headin' we all get out and see that the Brotherhood's there. Sure that's normal, but they weren't doin' anythin' destructive. As Scott and Lance stood there arguing, Ah made mah way ovah ta Wanda.

"So what are ya'll doin' here?"

"Don't know, Mystique sent us. When we got here, well, you can see for yourself." she stated as she gestured to some abandoned buildings that were on fire.

"None of this makes any sense."

Just as the words slipped outta mah mouth a glowin' card fluttered down in the middle of all of us. 'It couldn't beh.'

"Get down!" Ah yelled. Everyone was a lil frantic aftah the card finally blew up. 'Where is he. He wouldn't do this, would he. Is he tryin' ta kill meh. Did Belle die or somethin'?'

Rogue went looking around quietly as the rest spread out waiting to be attacked.
