Thanks to Invader ZaiFae for helping me with Kurt's accent and the title! ^_^
The X-Men were used to weirdness. It was what they dealt with on a daily basis. So it really came as no shock to them when Kurt popped into Professor Xavier's office to tell him about a news report that was on about mutants terrorizing the Bayville Mall. They all just assumed it was the Brotherhood or Magneto. They were wrong--well, half wrong.
Professor X sent Kurt, Scott, Jean, and Kitty to investigate. He would have gone as well, had he known the full truth. Which he didn't. Which was actually rather odd, considering he's such a powerful psychic dude. And he didn't use Cerebro either. He might not have found anything anyway, on account of whom it was they found.
It didn't really take them too long to get to the mall, the town being not so big and all. They carefully entered the building, expecting anything and everything they might find, actually, everything but what they did find. People were running and screaming, doing all the usual things people do when they're panicked. It's disgusting. From where the X-Men stood, they could see stuff come flying out of a store, plus flashes of light emitting from there as well.
Someone running past paused for half a second to glance at our heroes.
"Oh, my God." He gasped. "There're bigger versions of them here too!"
And he ran off, yelling, and generally looking like a headless chicken.
This left our heroes feeling very, VERY confused.
"Kurt, teleport over there and see what you can find." Scott ordered. Kurt complied, and disappeared. He reappeared a second later, perched carefully on a balcony. They could see his eyes widen in complete surprise as he glanced into a store, and he almost lost his balance, causing everyone concern. He caught himself, however, and quickly teleported back over.
"You're not gonna believe zis." He gasped.
"What is it?" Jean asked.
Kurt pointed. "Look for yourself."
They all did. As they walked towards the KB store that was currently being terrorized, they could see toys being flung out the opening. They carefully peeked in, in standard cartoon format: one head atop the other. How cartoon characters, even X-Men, are able to do this will probably always remain a mystery, as well as the bit about being able to pull stuff from thin air. Even though there's a theory on that.
"They're...." Jean began.
"Like, mini versions of us." Kitty finished. Sure enough, inside the toy store were two-foot tall miniatures of a lot of the X-Men, and the other mutants who didn't join the X-Men, Professor X and Magneto included. Yes, a Chibi-Professor X in a wheelchair. At the time that they were staring at their 'clones', Chibi-Magneto was standing on the checkout in full Magneto attire, practicing his evil laugh.
"Why won't you all listen to me?!" He whined. Not being able to help themselves, they burst out laughing.
"Zere's a Mini-Magneto!" Kurt chuckled. Standing right inside the door was none other than Chibi-Wolverine himself, complete with the facial hair and crazy hairdo, and he extended his claws and peeked around the corner carefully. When he saw the taller counterparts of his cohorts, he growled fiercely--okay, as fiercely as a Chibi-Wolverine could be -- and jumped out of his hiding spot, ready to face the X-Men. They all looked down at him.
"What're ya laughing at, bub?" Chibi-Wolvie growled.
"We're laughing at how...small you all are." Jean said, covering her mouth. This apparently didn't go over so well with Chibi-Wolverine, because he dashed back inside. They carefully peeked back around the corner to see Chibi-Cyclops rallying the Chibi-X-Men.
"Are we gonna let them just take us?" Chibi-Cyclops demanded. The other Chibi-X-Men, now sitting on the floor in two neat rows, looked up at Chibi-Cyclops, who was standing on the checkout next to Chibi-Magneto. Chibi-Magneto didn't look too happy that they all were paying attention to Chibi-Cyclops and not himself.
"No." All the other Chibi-X-Men shouted.
"Are we gonna let them baby-sit us?!"
"No!"
"Are we gonna allow them to put us to bed early without dessert?"
"NO!"
"Are we gonna allow them to take away our TV time?"
"NOPE!!!!"
"Are we gonna just stand by idly while they sell off our toys one by one on eBay?"
"NO WAY!"
Now rallied, the Chibi-X-Men looked ready to fight.
Actually looking a bit nervous, Scott turned to Jean. "Maybe you should..."
Jean nodded, understanding. She raised her hands and concentrated. Soon, all the Chibi-X-Men were levitated into the air and brought floating out of the store. Chibi-Jean glared at her taller counterpart.
"You're not gonna get away with taking us this easily!" She said, causing Jean to grin.
"I'll put you all down, if you promise to clean up the mess you made." Jean offered.
"Never!" Chibi-Cyclops yelled, reaching up to activate his visor. Jean stopped him before he could move his arm up to his shoulder. He sulked, as Scott couldn't help but grin.
"I have to go to ze bathroom...." Chibi-Nightcrawler said, looking at Kurt.
"I'll take him." Kurt offered. "It might be better if ve each handled our own . . . 'mini-me', anyvay."
"Right." Jean said, releasing Chibi-Nightcrawler. As soon as his feet touched the floor, Kurt led him towards the restrooms.
"We'll clean up what we did, like good little kids!" Chibi-Magneto said, shooting a look at the other Chibi-X-Men. They all quickly nodded. Involuntarily, the X-Men burst out laughing.
"Magneto actually sounds like a good kid!" Kitty said.
Scott nodded. "He does." He glanced down at Chibi-Magneto. "But I think you're lying."
Chibi-Magneto made a 'humph' sound and crossed his arms. "Well, I tried."
"We'll leave the cleaning up to the police." Scott said, shooting a look around at the trashed mall. "Let's just get all these kids back to the mansion to show the Professor."
Leaving the mall behind, they managed to fit everyone into the van without seriously hurting anyone, and Scott steered the van in the direction of the mansion.
