-The hall way outside of the rec. room-

The Professor was wheeling himself down the hall, when suddenly he heard the TV in the rec. room. He peeked an eyebrow in confusion, "The Brotherhood members are supposed to be in class right now." He wheeled into the room and was shocked to find the Brotherhood and Laura eating take-out watching COPS.

Todd hoped up and down, "This is the one where we stole the burgers yo!"

John chuckled, "And they say we never do anything as a family."

Wanda glared at him, "I wasn't even there."

Pietro chuckled, "That's why it went down flawlessly."

The Professor decided to speak up, "Why aren't you in class?"

The Brotherhood and Laura turned around, but Todd was the only one to speak, "Um… Snow day?"

The Professor rubbed his temple, "Where's Dr. McCoy?"

Silence immediately enveloped the room. The Professor knew that the only time the Brotherhood could be silenced was when they were trying to hide something.

Wanda rolled her eyes, "We revolted against him, and he suspended us."

The Professor peeked an eyebrow, "You got suspended from the school that I established because you got suspended from the real school?"

Todd smiled, "Not me I got expelled for pouring acids on Bigfoot's desk."

The Professor shook his head and decided to change the subject to one that might result in a smaller headache, "Where did you get the take-out?"

John chuckled, "We stole it from the delivery boy."

Shock washed over the Professor's face, "You beat-up Skippy?"

Freddy slurped his noodles and began talking, "Beat-up is such a harsh phrase; I say we took the food with necessary brutal-force."

Todd jumped on the arm of the couch, "Yeah we might make COPS again yo."

The Professor looked over the Brotherhood and decided he might as well try again, "Now where is Dr. McCoy?"

Every member of the Brotherhood looked up. In confusion the Professor looked up to see Edna McCoy's bouncing baby boy duct tapped to the ceiling.

Hank looked down at the Professor, "Mmm… Mmm… Mmm!"

A vein appeared in the Professor's forehead, "How did you get him up there? Never mind get him down this instant!"

Todd hid behind the couch, "Calm down yo."

Pietro crossed his arms and began talking, "Yeah we'll cut him down."

Lance smirked and looked up, "John cut the man down."

A Spark appeared in John's eye, "Roight." He pulled out his lighters and selected the perfect one for the job. He flicked it open and flung a fireball at the duct tapped blue-man. The flame began eating away at the tape, and eventually down came the blue-man. He landed in a crouch on his feet, much to the dismay of the Brotherhood, as they wanted him to go 'splat.'

Hank tried to smooth out his burnt and sticky fur, "Charles I can longer teach these hoodlums, I've suspended them all and expelled Todd. I'm going back down to the lab with the deadly and hazardous chemicals, where it's safe." He walked out of the room complaining silently about super-powered teenagers.

The Professor looked over the Brotherhood and Laura, "Why did you revolt against Dr. McCoy?"

Wanda shrugged, "We're the Brotherhood, we don't need a reason to revolt against anything."

The Professor shook his head in disbelief, "Logan is well traveled; I assume he will make a fine teacher."

-The very next day in the kitchen-

The Professor wheeled himself into the kitchen for a pre-lunch snack. He quickly noticed Logan sitting in a chair with several empty beer cans lying around him, "Logan I know you enjoy your beer, but you must not drink while instructing the Brotherhood."

Logan got up; he was wearing a white button up shirt that was tucked into his ironed black slacks that were held up by a fancy black leather belt. The greatest weapon to have ever lived even wore a nice black tie, "Chuck I suspended those punks."

The Professor could feel the headache approaching, "And expelled Mr. Tolensky I presume."

Logan looked at the bald man, "You got that right."

The Professor sighed, "Why did you suspend them?"

Logan dropped to his knees and picked up an empty beer can, "They drank my beer Chuck, and I don't mean one, those punks drank 'em all."

The Professor put his hands in his lap, "And Mr. Tolensky?"

Logan looked at his empty beer cans, "Kid was trying to smoke the house plants."

The Professor peeked an eyebrow in disbelief, "Where are they now?"

Logan looked up from his empty beer can, "They're in the rec. room."

The Professor nodded and wheeled himself out of the room.

Logan picked up a few cans and held them, "You were supposed to be breakfast, you were supposed to be lunch, and you were supposed to be dinner." He paused for a moment, "Now those dreams are gone."

-Rec. room-

The Professor wheeled himself into the rec. room to see the Brotherhood boys lounging around their stolen school property teaching Luna how to cheat at poker and Wanda and Laura sitting on the couch talking.

John cackled, "Told ya mates, that reverse psycho stuff don't work on St. John Allerdyce. The only one who can out smart St. John Allerdyce is me, oih don't know how oih did it, but oih'm pretty sure oih had it comin'." The Brotherhood boys laughed along with him.

The Professor was losing his patience, "Dr. McCoy is intelligent, and Logan is tough, yet you were able to break both of them. What I can not understand is why." The Brotherhood and Laura turned to face the infuriated man.

Lance smirked from his spot at the table, "Stronger, tougher, smarter, and men with better breath have tried to control the Brotherhood and just like Fur-ball and Captain Canada they all failed."

The Professor shot Lance a smirk, "'Stronger, tougher, smarter, and men with better breath,' you say? What about a woman with boundless kindness and love like only a mother can offer?" He then turned around and wheeled himself out of the room.

Wanda looked at her teammates in utter confusion, "Boundless kindness?"

Pietro peeked an eyebrow in disbelief, "Love like only a mother can give?"

Freddy began to panic, "What are we gonna do Lance? We never fought nothing like that before."

Todd leapt up onto the table, "I say we run."

John instantly agreed, "Yeah mates we can run to the park and fight squirrels for peanuts."

Lance glared at the spot where the Professor once sat, "Hey!" he instantly got their attention. He smirked, "We're the Brotherhood, and we'll tackle this problem like we tackle every other problem."

Todd looked over at the fearless leader, "So… we're gonna quit?"

Lance shook his head, "No the Brotherhood may be are losers, but they are not quitters."

Pietro snapped his fingers, "So we're gonna put what's left of Freddy's stash in her room and call the cops on her."

Lance looked at the speedster, "We don't call the cops, people call 'em on us."

Wanda crossed her arms, "So what are we going to do?"

Lance put his hands behind his head, "We're gonna finish playing poker."

-After dinner in the hallway outside of the kitchen-

The various Brotherhood members were standing in the hallway, Laura also now among their ranks thanks to a quick initiation devised by Wanda; which may have involved a brightly colored dress and a trip to the mall.

Pietro was leaning against the doorframe holding a bottle of vodka, "I can't believe that trick still works."

Todd glared at the speedster, "I can't believe I still have to throw seizures so we can steal from the liquor store."

Pietro smirked, "Hey it works doesn't it?"

Todd crossed his arms, "Just shut up and spike her lemonade."

Pietro sped away and a few seconds later sped back into the hallway with an empty vodka bottle, "Okay I replaced the water in the jug with the vodka."

Wanda rolled her eyes, "Won't she know its vodka when she drinks it?"

Lance chuckled, "Have you ever had vodka?"

Wanda shook her head, Lance chuckled again, "One sip and she won't be able to stop."

The Brotherhood became silent and listened intently through the door.

"That wasn't water…" Ororo paused, "That was vodka." There was another pause, "Good lemonade."

Lance smirked, "Alright give her a couple of minutes and then phase two begins."

John put an arm around Todd's shoulder, "Roight go get her lover-toad." He shoved him through the door and the Brotherhood began listening again.

They could hear Todd begin to talk, "Ya know you're so beautiful you make a guy want to brush his teeth."

-The next morning in Ororo's room-

Suddenly an alarming noise broke Ororo's peaceful slumber. She slammed a fist onto the source of the disturbance. She then tried to open her eyes but the light broke through Ororo's curtains and violently attacked her eyes.

She grabbed her temple, "Owe my head."

She suddenly heard someone talk to her, "It'll be okay cuddlebumps, want me to make you some coffee."

She immediately jumped out of bed, but quickly realized she was naked. She noticed an equally naked Todd lying in her bed, but she dived back under the comforter to hide her nudity.

Todd smirked, "I knew you couldn't resist my charm." He then struck a fly down with his tongue. "Ya know you have a pretty wicked tongue too yo."

Ororo grabbed the sides of her head, "What? How? Huh?"

Todd placed his hand behind his head, "Ah, the wonders of vodka."

Ororo's eyes went wide in horror, "I think I'm going to be sick."

-The Professor's office several minutes later-

Wanda and Todd were sitting in the armchairs while the Brotherhood boys were standing around the office. The Professor looked at each member in disappointment from behind his desk.

The Professor shook his head, "Well now you've done it. I have finally found out why none of you ever failed a single class…" He paused.

Pietro attempted to smile, "Yeah 'cause we got charm."

A vein began to throb in the Professor's head, "No, it can be attributed to your teachers never wanting to see any of you again."

Lance looked at the Professor with suspicion, "So are you gonna give up on us too?"

The Professor calmed himself, "Of course not, perhaps we're approaching this the wrong way."

Todd peeked an eyebrow in confusion, "Approaching what?"

The Professor sighed, "Your education. I'm sure I could allow you to study on your own until you're prepared to take the GED exam."

Lance crossed his arms, "Then what?"

The Professor smiled, "You can go out into the world, or you can stay here and help teach the younger students."

The Brotherhood members exchanged looks, as they have never been given an opportunity to actually make something of their lives.

-A dark and ominous lair several hours later-

Magneto was seated on a metallic thrown gazing at a hologram of what appeared to be the X-Mansion. The door opened reveling Mystique and a woman wearing a golden mask and a white robe.

The masked woman spoke, "The weather witch and the metal man will be away. The Rogue will also be home sick."

Magneto smirked, "We shall depart at dawn, inform Sabretooth and Mastermind on the situation."

Mystique and the masked woman left the room, and Magneto gave out a sinister cackle, "Soon I will have my army.
