Disclaimer- I don't own anything, only August.
Shout Outs-
L1701E- Don't worry, Kid Razor will appear soon I promise!
Risty- Yeah, sharing sucks!
Agent-G- Hee! I hope you like the Cuckoos/Lockheed prank, it took me long enough to plan out!
Author's Note- You might want to read 'The Uncanny New Mutants' too as some of that chapter is pretty important here.
Hong Kong-
The members of the Uncanny New Mutants and the Braddock, Lee, Espinosa and Wilson Detective Agency are gathered in the hotel bar waiting for Wade to appear.
Everybody looks up as they hear a shout from the bar.
'What do you mean you haven't got any vodka?' Wade yells. 'I'm a guest and I want vodka!'
'Looks like Wade's here.' Kitty whispers to Rahne.
Betsy walks up to her boyfriend and drags him away from the bar.
'Wade, don't be such an ass! We've got important business to attend to!'
'But Cute Buns!' Wade groans. 'I want vodka now...'
'If you're going to start acting like a bloody baby, you won't get any at all!' Betsy replies.
Wade just pouts and sits down.
'Now, if everybody's ready.' Betsy says. 'I'll let Illyana explain why she's here.'
Illyana stands up and clears her throat.
'As most of you can tell I am not this reality's Illyana Rasputin. I come from a reality where I didn't die from the Legacy Virus. I was called by a guy called the Timebroker to join a team called the Exiles, which TJ was a member of too. After several adventures, I was killed by a guy called Hyperion, a cheap Superman wanabee. Then somehow I was brought back into this reality and met Wade and the others in Moscow. I think that covers it. Anybody got any questions?'
Kitty raises her hand.
'Am I in your reality?' She asks.
'Yeah, you are.' Illyana replies. 'In fact we're gay lovers!'
Kitty chokes on her beer in surprise.
'WHAT?' She gasps.
'Ha! Only kidding!' Illyana grins. 'I got Betsy with that one too! Jeez, you shoulda seen your face!'
The Xavier Institute, meanwhile-
Lockheed is patiently waiting in Kitty Pryde's room for the Stepford Cuckoos to arrive with the equipment for their prank. He watches as the door opens and the three telepathic teenage girls walk in laden with prank material.
'Did yer get everything?' The dragon asks.
The girls dump everything onto the bed and Phoebe starts counting off the items on her fingers.
'A hat, stripy sweater, image inducer, gloves and razors. Yup, that's everything!'
'What have you got in mind exactly?' Eve asks.
'Come closer and I'll tell yer.' Lockheed replies.
The girls lean closer as Lockheed begins to whisper his plan.
'First we need ter get someone's help. My best guess is Drake; he's always good fer a prank. Then you tape the razors to the gloves...'
Back in Hong Kong-
After everybody ahs gotten over their initial scepticism of Illyana's return, they begin to enjoy themselves. Typhoid and Pyro are dancing on the dancefloor. Wade and Betsy are propped up by the bar. Jubilee and Angelo are catching up with the gossip from Xavier's with Amara. That just leaves the others; they're all sitting talking amicably over drinks.
Rachel looks over at TJ and takes a deep breath.
{Okay.} She thinks. {This is it, now or never! Time to tell TJ how I feel.}
The redheaded telepath leans over and taps TJ on the shoulder.
'TJ, can I talk to you for a sec?' She asks.
'Sure Ray.' TJ replies. 'Go ahead!'
'We're both mature adults and...'
Rachel is interrupted by TJ's blowing bubbles in her Daiquiri.
'Do you mind?' Rachel asks. 'I'm trying to be serious.'
'Oh sorry.' TJ says, putting down her drink. 'Carry on.'
Rachel takes another deep breath and continues.
'As I was saying, were are both mature, responsible adults and I want to tell you something that I've never told anybody before, not even Kitty.'
'What is it Ray?' TJ asks. 'Have you got an unusual allergy? A rude-shaped mole?'
'I've got a crush on someone.' Rachel replies.
'Ooh! Scandalous!' TJ grins. 'Go on, tell me who it is!'
'Can we go and talk outside?' Rachel asks. 'I want this to be private.'
'Sure.' TJ shrugs. 'What ever you want.'
Rachel gets up from her seat and walks outside with TJ close behind her.
Back at Xavier's-
Pete Wisdom is walking through the hallway when he notices something unusual; the hallway has suddenly turned into an iron walkway with steam pipes strewn about the walls.
'Bloody 'ell.' He says to himself. 'I musta got turned around and came inter the boiler room.
Then something dawns on him, the institute doesn't have a boiler room!
'I've got a bad feelin' about this!' He says.
He starts to walk off in search of a way out when he hears singing. He walks closer so he can hear. He sees three little girls playing with a jump rope.
'One, two, Freddy's coming for you... Three, four, better lock your door... five, six, grab your crucifix... seven, eight, going to stay up late... nine, ten, never going too sleep again...'
Pete's had enough as he turns around and runs in the opposite direction.
'Oh bloody 'ell!' He groans. 'This can't be happenin'!'
He is about to reach a door when he trips over something. It's a goat! Pete shakes his head and runs off again. He stops as the door dissolves into a brick wall.
'Oh bollocks! There must be a way out!'
Pete is about to look for another way out when he hears a metallic screeching sound, kind of like somebody scraping a knife along a pipe.
'Oh crap!' Pete winces. 'I know where I am now! Scary singin' kids, sacrificial goat, boiler rooms, I'm in 'Nightmare on Elm Street! AAAAARRRGHH!'
Pete is about to round a corner when he sees a familiar-looking razor- tipped glove tapping on some wall pipes.
'AAAARRGHH!' Pete screams. 'FREDDY'S GONNA KILL ME!'
He sets off running again, screaming all the way.
'Freddy' walks around the corner and presses a button on his watch. There is a brief burst of static revealing the form of Bobby Drake.
'Well that was fun!' Bobby grins, dressed in a dirty stripy sweater, hat and a razor glove. 'You can come out now girls!'
The three girls that were playing with the jump rope walk upto Bobby, along with the goat. The boiler room walls change back into the corridor of the Xavier Institute and the goat changes back into Lockheed the dragon.
'Thankyou for your help Mister Drake.' Phoebe says. 'We couldn't have done it without you!'
'No problem!' Bobby replies. 'There's nothing more fun than playing a prank on someone! Well, seeya around!'
'Bye Mister Drake!' The girls reply.
The girls are about to walk away when they hear Bobby talking to someone.
'Hey Sage! Look, I'm Freddy Krueger! I'm gonna get you bitch!'
The Stepford Cuckoos wince at the sound of fist on ice and the ensuing screams.
'Ow! My face! My beautiful face!'
Hong Kong-
Rachel and TJ are now walking through the gardens of the hotel.
'Well who do you have a crush on Ray?' TJ asks. 'C'mon tell me, the tension's killing me!'
Rachel sits down on a nearby bench. TJ follows her lead and sits down beside her.
'TJ, this might shock you.' Rachel says. 'I've been having these feelings for a certain team-mate.'
'Omigod!' TJ gasps. 'You've got a crush on Bobby Drake, haven't you?'
'Eew, no!' Rachel replies. 'I've got a crush on... you TJ. I like you...'
TJ's mouth forms a small 'o' of surprise as she ponders what Rachel has just said.
'I-I'm sorry.' Rachel says, standing up. 'I've freaked you out. I'll go.'
TJ stand up and takes Rachel's hand, preventing her from leaving.
'I'm not freaked.' She replies. 'Just surprised is all.'
'But you're straight.' Rachel says. 'How can you feel the same way about me?'
'I didn't tell you about the time I had a crush on Storm when I was eight, did I?' TJ replies.
'You had a crush on Storm?' Rachel asks.
'Oh yeah!' TJ replies. 'I just wanted to sweep her of her feet!'
'But you were eight!' Rachel says.
'I didn't say that the sweeping would be easy!' TJ grins.
'But you had a boyfriend when you were and Exile.' Rachel adds. 'You almost had a child!'
'Rachel.' TJ says, taking the redhead's hand. 'My time as and Exile is over no and it's time to make some changes. John's gone now and I'll never see him again.'
'So you're cool with us being...'
'Gay?' TJ replies. 'Sure. Hell, one of my best friends was gay!'
Rachel smiles happily as TJ leans closer and kisses her gently on the lips.
'Let's go inside.' TJ says. 'I wanna see my dad's face when we tell them that we're together!'
Rachel links her hand with TJ's and walks back into the hotel with a huge grin on her face.

Next on the 'Merc and the Ninja': Wade and co travel to Sydney for a rock concert. Kid Razor guest stars!
Next on 'The Uncanny New Mutants': How will Kitty and Kurt react when they find out that TJ and Rachel are together?
