Summary: Lobo finally has had enough of Magneto's oppressive views so he leaves for the X-Men. At the same time HOMe is exposed to the world while a mysterious meterotite lands in South America
Mansion, munchies and more
When HoMe and the others arrived back at the mansion with their new "guests" he did not get the reception he expected. Instead he got a stern lecture from Kitty, Xavier, and Storm about sneaking into the Velocity and interfering with public relations. Creature just got his usual punishment of cleaning the kitchen.
HoMe is sorry.- the small alien said as he bumped his head against Kitty's leg in a gentle, loving manner.
"Oh… I can't stay mad at you." Kitty said as she gave HoMe a big hug. "Now I gotta go get ready for my date with Lance tonight so you stay out of trouble. Ok."
IH!- HoMe said, mimicking his favorite "Stitch" word. –HoMe go play with Lilo-Queen and Stitch.-
"Ok." Kitty said with an odd look, she honestly worried about Lilo's mental stability sometimes. "Just be careful." She said as HoMe ran off to find his two favorite playmates.
Meanwhile in Xavier's office, RX, Samantha, Lobo and Ms Polensky were all gathered and trying to sort out the nights happenings. Ms Polensky though was seemingly more interested in finding out more about HoMe and Creature.
"Professor, what were those two creatures on the set tonight?" She asked as she pulled out a small notepad.
"Ms Polensky, I will answer that later, but as of now I have something to discuss with young Hector and his new friends." Xavier said politely as he motioned them to sit down.
"Professor…" Lobo began, "I'm sorry about tonight, I didn't think I'd be coming here under these circumstances."
"What circumstances?" Tasha Polensky said as she wrote on her pad.
"Well, not that it's any of your business, but I used to work for Magneto." Lobo said as he crossed his arms and snorted at the name.
"Oh, and now you're willing to take in a former enemy, Professor?" Tasha asked.
"Actually…" The Professor began.
"Oh this will make such a great humanitarian story!" Tasha squealed right before a dart struck he neck and she fell unconscious.
Xavier looked at RX, whose mechanical arm had produced a small tube where the dart came out of. "Sir! That was highly unnecessary!"
"On the contrary," RX said, "I can't have her focus switch to me and her writing a story. The results would be… less than desirable."
"RX, was it?" Xavier asked, and RX nodded. "RX, whatever you are running from as it seems obvious to me know that you're trying to cover your tracks. We can help you here; this is a safety ground for all mutants…' Xavier was cut off.
"I'm not a mutant." He growled lightly. "And Samantha and I do not need your protection."
RX went to leave, but Lobo grabbed RX's organic arm. "Dude, just give this place a chance, I mean they have a clone of a powerful mutant here and they keep her safe." For a few seconds RX just stared at the canine-human mix of a mutant.
"Very well, if your offer stands Professor Xavier, we shall stay for a small time. But we must keep moving…" With that RX walked out, not wanting to hear anymore.
"Wow." Lobo said with a lopsided smile.
"Indeed, I will have to talk with him later." Xavier said with out a hint of humor. "Now, onto your schooling, while attending the institute we will train both your body and mind. So my question now is; do you have any specific requirements or requests for your classes?"
"Well before the change I had a tutor for math, but I was pretty far ahead in my English courses, I was even going to a local college in Casper." Lobo smiled.
"So, you're from Wyoming?" The Professor smiled, "Do you have any family that you might want to contact?"
"No, they practically disowned me when they found out, about you know…" Lobo gestured to himself. "Not like I could hide it."
"I understand," Xavier started as a blue poof of smoke appeared in the room, "Kurt, would you be kind enough to share your room with Hector for tonight?"
"Sure professor." Kurt said as he extended a cloven hand to Lobo for a shake. "Nice to see you're leaving zhe dark side."
"Yeah well, insanity on the part of Magneto didn't help him much." Lobo said with a sigh, "Lead on…"
"Right, say you haven't met the others have you?" Kurt raised an eyebrow.
"That's a good idea Kurt. " Xavier turned to Lobo, "Hector would you be up to meeting several other students?"
"Sure, yeah I guess." Lobo shrugged.
"Cool, come on zhis vay." Kurt motioned and Lobo followed. Soon the two found them in the kitchen, where Lobo was reminded of the third strange monster in the house; Stitch.
"Hi!" Stitch smiled as he gave his usual five clawed wave. "You on our side no, yes?"
"Uh, yeah." Lobo eyed Stitch carefully, ready for any tricks.
"Then me, ah, would like to apologize for the poodle treeeeatment." The small blue experiment said with a smile.
"Oh, yes the was a smashing experience." Creature grumbled as he cleaned the dishes. "You know I could have sworn in my last lifetime that water did something I rather liked…"
"Yeah, well den it's all dhe better you don' got it now." Remy said as he and several students came walking in. Then Remy saw Lobo, "So you finally got tired of ol' Mag's treatin' you like a mutt?"
"Yeah, it just got to be… to much, you know." Lobo sighed as he sat at the counter and propped himself up on his elbows. He also noticed Creature glaring at him.
"Jeez, Creature! Do you like, know how evil you like right there?" Kitty said as she came in with HoMe, who was crawling on the ceiling. She was dressed for a night of dancing with Lance.
"Really, evil, me? Why I'm flattered Kathryn." Creature said with a smile and a bow. "Just remember to keep yourself and your date safe, especially after tonight's fiasco, hm."
"Which was if I recall, partly ya'll fault." Rogue snapped at Creature."
"Right," Kurt cut into the freshly brewing argument. "Well, guys this is Hector, he's also called Lobo. He's going to be a new student here, and the professor wanted me to introduce him to everyone."
Within seconds after saying that everyone of the mutants began to take a slightly warmer turn in the room as they introduced themselves to Lobo. They all seemed pretty bland in the personality department, at least until a short red headed girl popped in.
"'ello." She said extending her hand for a quick shake. "My name is Rahne, and I'm a werewolf too." She said as she raised an eyebrow.
"Well I'm stuck like this so I'm more or less a Wolf-Man." Lobo joked, as he kept shaking Rahne's hand.
"Uh, cena I have my hand back now?" Rahne said with a slight blush.
"Oh… sorry." Lobo blushed under his fur.
"Aw…" Kurt and the other students all cooed.
"Shut up." Lobo growled, embarrassed by what had just happened.
Lobo-friend?- HoMe popped hi head up between Lobo and Rahne.
"Uh... yeah?" Lobo was still very cautious around the three monsters.
HUG TIME!- HoMe said as he nearly crushed Lobo in a huge bear hug.
"HoMe, he needs air." Kitty scolded as she tapped HoMe on the shoulder. When HoMe released Lobo he looked very sorry, well as sorry as an alien bug can look. "Now apologize."
"No, it's all right." Lobo said as he kept an eye on Creature. "Just keep that one away from me."
"It's unanimous now, Creature is the most un-liked one in the house." Bobby cackled.
"Remind me Robert, but whose the one who filled Kurt's room with ice and whipped cream?" Creature smiled as Kurt glared at Bobby.
"THAT WAS YOU?" Kurt's eye began to twitch as he turned to Stitch. "I'm sorry little blue dude."
"Ih, is all right." Stitch said as he too looked at Bobby with a rather angry look. "We just teach him to be good."
"Agreed…" Kurt said as he leapt at Bobby, who was already fleeing. "Get the traitor!"
"Ih!" Stitch shouted as he got several pots and pans and turned them into body armor.
"So dat's why Remy's omelets be havin' blue fur in dem…" Remy said as he watched Stitch clunk down the hall.
"Second thoughts, raght?" Rogue asked with a smile as she watched Lobo's face.
"Sort of." He said as Bobby came running through the kitchen, this time Pyro and Artisan were also chasing him.
"You broke me lighter ya stupid ice box!" Pyro shrieked, then he noticed Lobo. "Hi Lobs!" He said as he continued to chase Bobby.
"Hi John." Lobo said calmly, then he looked back at Remy, "Is this normal for here?"
"No, dis be a very quite day." Remy started, but was interrupted by a screaming Jamie who was being launched out of an upstairs window, he landed straight in the pool and looked like he wanted to take the trip again. "Lilo must be bored." Remy said as he watched Jamie run back upstairs.
"You realize we were probably safer with Magneto, right?" Lobo said as he continued to watch people start chasing other people.
"Yeah, but here is more entertainin'." Remy smiled devilishly. "Dat and mah chere is here."
"How lovely for you." Lobo said as he heard the doorbell ring, and a sudden pause to all the activity as a large scrambling sound was heard, followed by several people screaming.
"HoMe…" Remy explained, "He's attracted to de doorbell like magnet."
"So who's here?" Lobo asked as he got up to check the door.
"Prolly Lance, he an' Kitty got a date tonight." Remy continued as HoMe blazed past the hallway, a second later Lance was heard screaming as HoMe tackled him to the ground and proceeded to nuzzle and hug him. "An' HoMe really likes Lancey." Remy said as the two former agents of Magneto crossed the front lobby.
"Little help here?" Lance groaned as he shoved HoMe off of himself.
"Ah, Lance, may I have a word with you?" Lance almost jumped when he realized that Xavier was telepathically speaking to him.
"Yeah, we'll be right there." Lance thought back as he and Kitty made their way to the Professor's office, HoMe in direct tow.
"Hello Lance." Xavier said as the young man entered, he was dressed in a tux, vastly different from what he usually wore. "As I'm sure you saw on TV, HoMe has been exposed."
"Yeah, Fury was wondering how you were going to cover that up." Lance cracked, a few weeks before hand SHIELD had officially turned the Brotherhood into an organization to help mutants get along with humans. They realized all to late how tough that would be with the Brotherhood's history with normal humans.
"Well, I was just on the phone with Agent Fury and he made a rather good suggestion." Xavier smiled. "How would you like to watch HoMe for the next week, let him get to know the Brotherhood more."
Lance immediately paled, "Uh…"
"Creature would be kept here and contained so you wouldn't have to worry at all about him." Xavier explained, "However HoMe would be rather difficult to hide on our premises and even more difficult to explain with his irrational behavior."
"So what's your plan?" Lance asked, already fearing the answer.
"Well I have invited Ms Tasha Polensky to make a small humanitarian news brief for the next week, however HoMe's behavior as you know is exceedingly hard to predict and manage…"
"So you want the Brotherhood to watch him so you can explain what he and Creature are to her?" Lance guessed.
"Yes." Xavier nodded, "We would appreciate the help, and with HoMe in your house Kitty would have more of a reason to go over there…" Xavier raised an eyebrow as Lance perked up. "Of course thing s will remain tame, correct?"
"Yeah, sure." Lance smiled as the door collapsed inwards. Kitty and HoMe came crashing to the ground as Logan stood behind them.
"You got spies Chuck." He smiled as HoMe and Kitty glared at him, then the two went into unison begging.
"Like, please Professor, I can keep HoMe calm I promise!" Kitty pleaded.
HoMe be good, he promise! Just not make HoMe stay with Scary-Fast -Boy!- HoMe pleaded as he cowered behind Lance, as if he expected Pietro to appear at any moment.
"I'm sorry, you two. But the decision is final, tomorrow HoMe will be spending a week at the Brotherhood's Boarding home." Xavier went on, "You may visit as often as you like Kitty, just be home before midnight, and if Lilo, Stitch and Agent Fury agree Stitch may accompany him."
"Wait a minute!" Lance gulped, "You were going to do this anyway?"
"Yes, Lance, it's for HoMe's protection, and don't worry about Stitch. Just keep him off coffee and he'll be fine."
Everyone in the room groaned, except for HoMe who was to busy hiding on the ceiling and expecting Pietro to come in an scare him. -No bad-scary-fast boy…-
