Something Sinister…You Know The Rest
"Now I want all of you to be on your best behavior, got it?" Jean told the X-Men. Several of them were dressed up for the night.
"Come on Jean," Bobby said. "What do we look like? Misfits?"
"Let's just saythat a fewof you have picked up some of their habits," Jean gave him a look. The doorbell rang. "Okay that's him. Just behave yourselves."
"We should have went with Kitty," Tabitha grumbled to the other New Mutants. "I hate dressing up for people. Don't get me wrong, it's nice that Jean's teach don't hate us but still I wanted to have some fun."
"Yeah this is gonna be boring," Jamie groaned. "I'm gonna go upstairs and play some video games." He went to do so.
"I'm with you kid," Tim nodded and followed him.
"They won't miss us," Ray shrugged and went upstairs as well.
"Oh well, more punch for us," Roberto shrugged.
Dr. Sterisin was soon inside the mansion. "Thank you for inviting me Professor Xavier. You have no idea how long I've wanted to come here."
As the Professor and Sterisin went into the next room and made small talk Jesse quickly ducked back into the hallway. "Yo, Jesse what's up?" Tabitha asked as she noticed he was very nervous.
"Get Jean and Scott back here! Now!" Jesse whispered.
"Why?" Tabitha asked.
"Just do it! It's important!" Jesse hissed.
"Why don't you just call out to her with your thoughts or…?" Tabitha began. Jean poked her head around the corner. "Never mind."
"What's the hold up?" Scott asked as he and Jean walked up to them.
"Bedlam here's throwing a fit of some kind," Tabitha shrugged.
"Guys! Listen to me, remember that crazy doctor I told you about?" Jesse asked. "The one who tried to experiment on me back at the hospital?"
"Yeah," Scott said.
"That's him!" Jesse whispered.
"What? You must be mistaken," Jean said.
"No way," Jesse shook his head. "I'll never forget what that guy looked like!"
"It could be a mistake," Jean was adamant. "Maybe he just looks similar to him?"
"I'm not crazy Jean. I know what I saw! What I'm seeing!" Jesse was equally adamant.
"And what did you see, pray tell?" Sterisin asked as he walked up to them. Xavier and the other X-Men were behind him.
"The crazy experiments you ran on me! Or tried to run on me!" Jesse shouted.
"Jesse please," Xavier said calmly. "Doctor Sterisin is our guest."
"He's also crazy!" Jesse said.
"You're the one who's acting nuts dude," Bobby grumbled.
"No…" Betsy focused her powers. "He really believes that you did try to hurt him."
"Well I can explain that quite easily," Sterisin remarked.
Suddenly the entire mansion seemed to come crashing down on each and every one's brain. "It's the truth," Sterisin grinned as several X-Men had been knocked to their knees. "Still conscious? Very wise of you Professor to make sure your students had some rudimentary mental blocks in their mind."
"That was a psychic blast!" Betsy shouted. "He's a telepath!"
"It's my own fault I suppose," Sinister reformed into his real appearance. "When you take so many different shapes you tend to lose track from time to time. Oh well, at least this will edit out the dull small talk."
"You!" Remy gasped. "Sinister!"
"That's Mr. Sinister to you, Gambit," Sinister grinned. "So good to see you again."
"Sinister…" Xavier's eyes narrowed. "I've heard of you, but I thought you were only…"
"A myth? A family legend? A bogeyman your grandparents told you to keep you behaving?" Sinister mocked. "I'm that and more…"
"Well whatever you are, you sure picked the wrong group of people to mess with!" Tabitha shouted creating a large time bomb and threw it right at him. Sinister didn't even bother to move before the bomb blew a hole in his midsection.
"Yeah! That's what I'm…What the?" Tabitha was shocked as Sinister merely reformed himself.
"Please," Sinister yawned. "Is that the best you can do?"
"We can certainly try harder…" Rina bared her claws.
"You must be X23," Sinister looked at him. "Certainly you're easier on the eyes than the original. But I think I'll let my friends play with you."
BOOM!
A green portal opened up behind him and several strange mutants leapt out. "What the heck…?" Rogue's jaw dropped.
"You didn't think that the Misfits were the only ones to have access to a teleportation device?" Sinister raised an eyebrow. "Since Jean was so kind to introduce her team to me, I'd like to introduce my team, the Marauders. Riptide," He pointed to the young man with long purple hair and purple clothes.
"Hairbag," He pointed to an individual with the body of an ape but the head of a man.
"Tar," He pointed to a completely black figure with white eyes, no mouth or nose and purple hair.
"Arclight," A tall shorthaired brunette woman wearing silver armor.
"Blockbuster," A huge two toed bald behemoth in black spandex.
"And Loudmouth," He pointed to a young man with black hair, black clothes and several pairings in his ears and nose. "You know why we call him that?"
Loudmouth opened his mouth and a loud, devastating scream filled the hallway, knocking the X-Men down on their knees. "That's why." He made a motion and the other Marauders took out their earplugs. "Get them!"
Before the X-Men knew it several of them were covered in a black tarlike substance that Tar shot out of his body. "I can't move!" Peter shouted as he struggled to escape.
"The fun's just getting started," Riptide began to spin his body so that the lower half of him resembled a cyclone. He knocked down Remy and the other free X-Men so that Tar could cover them in goo.
"Ugh! And I thought Toad's slime was disgusting!" Amara struggled to get free.
"Good work," Sinister grinned. "You did better than I expected. But there are still a few X-Men loose."
"We'll get 'em," Hairbag grunted. He went up with Arclight and Blockbuster. "We still need a good workout."
"Don't forget to search their rooms and bring back all the hairbrushes you can find!" Sinister shouted.
"Hairbrushes?" Kurt struggled. "You want to open a salon or something?"
"No, I want your genetic material. Now hold still," Sinister grinned as he took out a syringe and advanced towards Kurt. "This might hurt a bit. Who am I kidding? It will hurt a lot!"
