Disclaimer: If you know it; I don't own it ! Maybe I'll get it for Christmas?
Scott was hunting for his girlfriend to tell her about his "discovery" of the reason for Kurt and Kitty's strange behavior via Logan who had decided to go to town for some "me" time.(Namely drinking at Harry's until the urge to perforate a certain Elf went away) He found her and most of the Institute gathered in the Kitchen.
"Scott must be taught a lesson." Jean was saying as he came up on the door. This stopped him in his tracks of course. Sidleing up to the door he decided to listen at the door just a little.
--In the Kitchen (or HQ as Jean thought of it in her head)--
"But so must Kurt and Kitty for attempting to prank us all into keeping their secret for them." Jean continued unaware of her unknown audience due to the mental babble of so many students in one place. She had been a little Surprised at the number of people who knew about the two miscreants already. When they started to compare stories of how they found out a startleing pattern started to emerge: 1: Mutant enters room 2: Mutant sees Kurt and Kitty in a "compromiseing" position 3: Said couple then swears the new Mutant to secrecy for just a little while 4: Repeat until everyone sworn to secrecy. It was a brilliantly simple plan that she was a little miffed thet she hadn't thought of it to get some privacy for herself and Scott in the beginning. It was the story for everyone there except for Jamie who when asked if he knew what Kitty and Kurt were up to had told her " Well duh, Jean. In fact I'm a bit angry that they din't bother to pull their trick on me. Probably thought was too young or something."(they had actually sworn several of his doubles to secrecy and word had just never reached the original) he grumbled reminding Jean and everyone else just how good he was at figuring stuff out.
"So, here's the plan. We're going to fake an emergency involving the Dynamic Duo. Something along the lines of a training room accident with the two of them trapped for a few hours alone and knowing those two they'll put the time alone to good use." she said with only a bit of sarcasm in her voice.Jean smiled at the chuckles she received from the others. Jubilee was still laughing when she spoke.
"H – Ho – How will we keep them there instead of them wandering off to one or the others rooms? Neither of their powers are "sit still" friendly." the young mallrat asked.
"We'll make sure to run them through one of Logans endurance courses so Kurt'll be too tired to port the two of them and since Kitty can't phase through the circuits without damageing them further. . ." Jean let the words trail off with an innocent look on her face.
-In the Hallway -
Scott couldn't really believe what they were saying. He may be a little dense but they didn't need such an elaborite plan to make him realize it.He decided to go for a drive to clear his head and think up how best to deal with "The Plan" as it was being called in his mind.
-- Elsewhere in Bayville--
"Thanks Kid the freaks were right where you said they'd be" a dark colored man said as he handed over a bag to a young man dressed in old jeans and a black Tee shirt.
"Hey, I'm just glad that I could help you and your upstanding men help stop the menace that did this."and with that the young man raised his face from inspecting the contents of the bag.
"That must have hurt. So which one did it? The kraut or the one with the long legs?"the man said.
" Long legs? Don't know him but Whatever happens to the others is okay by me." Lance said turning his back on the man and walking away vaguely wondering if he'd miss Toad.
