Ch 6

Set Up

-2 days later-

John woke up in a good mood. Usually, he rolls out of bed in a grouchy mood, swearing at the sun for waking him up. However, today was no ordinary day. Today was the day he would get back at Bobby. For two days, two whole fucking days, everyone bothered John and I literally mean everyone. It came to the point where he wouldn't even answer back, and, as you know that never happens. For all those who say, 'if you ignore they will go away' crap…well he has a newsflash for you—it doesn't work!

The eager fire starter quickly got dressed and headed down to the kitchen. He grabbed a bagel off the counter before exiting the mansion. He didn't exactly plan how to get the package out of the P.O. box but that's only a minor dilemma.

John stared at the P.O. box for ten minutes deciding on how he was going to break into it. Unfortunately for him…he wasted ten minutes because the mailman forgot to lock it. "Well, well…I'm one lucky son of a bitch." He said as he took the package out of the P.O. box.

After walking a few blocks, he opened the package and hid what he needed in his pocket because going into the mansion with a suspicious package wasn't a smart move. It would cause too much attention. John was already getting unwanted attention, all thanks to that damn freezy guy. Oh yes, he will pay.

"Yo John!"

John turned around and noticed Pietro fifteen feet away. It could have been worse…it could have been Scott. And then he would have asked a million 'what are you doing?' questions. John stood there waiting for Pietro to catch up. "Do you always walk this slow?" He sighed

Pietro grinned, "I gotta slow down some time."

John was getting impatient, he did have things to do…important things, mind you. "If you want to talk to me, walk. I have business to tend to."

"X-Geek business?"

"Not that it's any of your business but no; it's a side job."

"Fill me in!" Obviously bored, Pietro's face lit up.

"Didn't I say 'not that it's any of your business'? Don't you have better things to do?"

Pietro shrugged, "I could kick your ass and mock about it!"

"I'd have you burnt to-"

Pietro cut him off, "I'd have you on your ass before you got your lighter out from your pocket."

"Are you saying I should be holding it?"

"Just tell me what you're up to and I won't have to humiliate you."

"You could try to humiliate me, but I always come back and hit harder. You'll be crying to Magneto." John grinned to himself picturing it.

Pietro rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Are you going to tell me or not?"

"Fine but I'll need your help, okay?"

"Deal."

They both shook on it. However, shaking on something with a member from the brotherhood isn't exactly enough for them to keep their word.

"Am I going to need a blood signature, Pietro?"

"Of course not! Just tell me already!"

John told Pietro the story from the beginning with every detail, even the parts he would love to forget. "Today is an important day," John started. "The next part of my payback is the bottle in my pocket. You're going to help me expose it."

John walked into the mansion feeling pretty damn high. The type of high you get when you're on horseback going full speed, when you score the winning point, when you write an excellent story, when you paint a breathtaking masterpiece, when you set something on fire and watch it burn to ashes. That's the type of high John is feeling, and fire has nothing to do with it.

Sometimes revenge takes patience and timing. John waited until the den was empty. He 'borrowed' Bobby's small duffle bag and placed it on top of a small table against the wall. He had it hang off the side with a pocket open with the special bottle inside. According to the slogan, it was natural. If it was so "natural" why would a real man need drugs?

John glanced at the silver watch on his wrist with red and orange flames on the face. "Show time."

At exactly 8:55 pm, practically everyone in the mansion comes to the den to fight over the remote control. John barely avoided getting trampled by the mutant-stampede. No teachers. Just students. However, tonight Bobby wasn't one of them. John would have asked Rogue where he was, but it was irrelevant. Having Bobby not there would make this plan even more effective. When everyone finds out, he won't be able to deny it soon enough. When Bobby does find out it won't matter because people will believe what they want and if they think they know something…it just sticks. In other words, the truth won't mean shit once the lies are implanted.

The choices were either Lost or Veronica Mars. They only had five minutes to decide.

"We must watch Lost tonight! I'm at the point where if I have to wait any longer…I will have no other choice but to fry the TV!" announced Jubilee.

"Relax. It's just a show." Jamie blurted out.

Jubilee yelled, "It's not just a show. It's LOST!"

"I like, need to know what happens next on Veronica Mars."

"If we don't watch Lost I'm going to have to fry the TV, so then you won't be able to watch Veronica anyway."

Kitty grinned. "If you fry the TV we won't be able to watch anything."

"We're watching Lost and that's final!" Jubilee said as she grabbed the remote and changed to the correct channel.

John had to wait until Lost was over. Let's face it, who cares about anything other than Lost when it's on? John didn't mind waiting, however; he enjoyed watching Veronica Mars a little bit more. Veronica is sarcastic, really good at pissing people off, and even better at getting revenge. She reminded him of him…minus the detective and having a rich boyfriend part.

So as usual, Lost was great. Of course, each episode leaves you with more unanswered questions along with more questions, but we're used to it by now.

"I can't believe that!" Jubilee exclaimed.

Kitty rolled her eyes, "You say that after every episode."

During one of the commercials, John called Pietro from the bathroom and told him to watch for the signal and what to do.

As soon as next week's preview ended John walked over to the window, flicked his lighter open, started the flame, and closed it just as fast. John grinned and waited…he wouldn't need to wait any longer...it was time.

Quicksilver ran into the mansion, found the den, and hit the dangling duffle bag as planned. As soon as he entered the mansion he left just as fast.

"What fell?" Jubilee asked.

John crouched by the duffle bag. "It's Bobby's duffle bag."

"What is it doing in here?" Jamie asked.

"Does it look like I know?" John said while trying to keep a straight face.

Rogue almost laughed

John picked up the bottle that fell out of the bag. "Well, well, well, look what we have here."
