Mutants are people too, sometimes…
"Wow, this your place dudes?" Mikey asked as Perfection, Karma, DM, Ash and the turtles arrived in Xavier's Mansion. Cardinal and Spaz were already setting to work on the new club while Wraith was off on one of his mysterious disappearing acts.
"No, it's a friend's." DM said.
"Actually it's my bosses' place so stay here while we go get him." Ash warned as he and DM went up the stairs to Xavier's room.
"I'm hungry." Raphael said and Mikey eagerly smiled in agreement.
"Kitchen's that way." Perfection pointed, "They have ramen."
"Awesome!" Mikey pumped his arm.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to just invade Xavier's kitchen?" Karma asked.
"The Misfits do it all the time." Perfection blinked innocently
"And they usually get yelled at." Karma pointed out.
A sudden scream from the kitchen drew the Scions and other turtles into the kitchen where Mikey and Raph were being assaulted by Kitty in a pink night shirt; and she would have been completely harmless, if it weren't for the fact that she was using a loaf of French bread she had made earlier in the day.
"Hey, stop it! That plank hurts!" Mikey screeched as Leonardo tried to chop the bread in half, but only managed to crack his blade down the center.
"That's some well done bread." Don said as he blinked and stood staring at the blade.
"That's Kitty's cooking." Perfection said, "Even Chybee avoids it most of the time." With that Perfection turned the loaf of bread into a limp noodle.
"Kitty." Karma approached the teen mutant. "Its okay, Michelangelo is a friend."
"It's a giant talking turtle," Kitty screeched "and it was trying to cook our ramen!"
"Yeah, until you started beating us with the some stale bread, you crazy ditz." Raphael growled.
"You might want to take that back, bub." Logan walked into the kitchen and popped out his claws. "Get the point?"
"Whoa, he MUST know the Shred-Head." Raph jumped back slightly as Logan took a swipe at him.
Perfection quickly put himself between the angry mutant and hot headed turtle. "Easy Logan, there was another Spark, these guys are our friends."
"I know, Ash told me we had some new guests, but it's four in the morning and I want my coffee." Logan growled as he grabbed the Scion by his collar.
"Ok." Perfection pried Logan's hands off of his shirt, "Don't get your panties in a bunch, I'll put some on for you and your caffeine addicted student body."
"Fine, but he stil owes half-pint an apology." Logan pointed a claw at Raphael.
"Who, me? Hey buddy, I don't know if you saw it or not but your little Ms Bread-ninja here was beating my brother with a piece of bread!" Raphael shouted as brought his face nose to nose with Logan.
"Raphael!" Splinter's voice snapped the hot headed turtle back. "Apologize to the young girl, we are guests here."
"But…" Raphael protested but quickly dropped it. "Fine, sorry toots." Raphael snapped.
"Raphael." Splinter glared at his anger filled son. "Ten flips."
"Ugh, fine." Raphael went to the lobby and began counting off his flips.
"What bread?" Logan asked in confusion.
"Kitty made some French bread earlier today." Karma explained.
Logan looked over at Mikey who was still rubbing his arm. "And he's still alive?"
"Logan!" Kitty shrieked. "My cooking is not that bad!"
"You were beating a ninja turtle with it sweet-heart." Karma said in a kind tone.
"It also broke my katana." Leonardo held up his blade. "How could bread do that?"
"Believe me, that's not the worst that's happened because of her cooking." Ash grumbled as he and DM cam back downstairs, Xavier and the rest of the faculty were not far behind.
Xavier brought his hover chair over to Kitty and took her hand. "Kitty, if you feel you can't sleep you may feel free to join us in my office." Then he looked to Splinter, "If you and your sons would please follow me to my office, I'm sure we can straighten a few things out for you."
"What about the ramen?" Mikey asked in confusion.
"Go on Mikey, I'll bring it in when I bring their coffee." Perfection said, "Then I can start breakfast!"
"Make extra, I expect the Misfits to invade earlier than usual." Scott groaned.
"Will do!" Perfection smiled his usual clueless smile.
"A thought through that head…" Scott began.
"Would be the shortest trip in existence." Don finished, "We've had our fair share of encounters." The large group then made their way to Xavier's office.
"DM ,would you care to explain the current situation to our new friends please?" Xavier asked the Scion politely.
"Chaos Spark, you're the new neighbors." DM said flatly.
"Oh, lovely!" Raphael had rejoined them and immediately threw his hands up in defeat.
"Well, what about April, Casey and the others?" Donatello asked.
"Oh, they're here, but they won't notice any difference in the world, the same goes for anyone else not associated with us Scions." Karma said sweetly. "To them, this has always been their world."
"And for the other mortals of this world…" Wraith reappeared from no where, "You will have always been here."
"Yeah, you explained it to us in our world." Raphael snapped.
"This is your world now." Wraith corrected the hot head.
"Don't remind me." Raphael snapped again and earned a glare and another set of ten flips from Splinter.
"So, now the only question that really needs answering is; where are you guys going to live?" DM rubbed his chin.
"What about the sewers." Leonardo asked.
"Morlocks live there, and as much as they would accept you guys, your friends would be toast in seconds." DM said.
"Why?" Donatello asked.
"The situations in this orld are mostly the same as yours." DM continued in his explanation as Perfection came in and passed everyone some ramen or in the case of the X-Men, coffee. "Bad guys cause problems, good guys stop them and in this world the good guys and bad guys are often mutants, an evolving branch of humans."
"Wow, we aren't the only mutants now!" Mikey smiled. "Hey, does that mean these guys are mutants too?"
"Correct, Michelangelo, this is a school for mutants. Here young mutants are taught to use their powers for good and to help people." Xavier sighed, "However, despite all the good we have done, mutants are hated and feared almost the entire world around, and there are even mutant hate groups."
"It's time for the long schpeel." Wraith rolled his eyes and tried to think of other things as DM and Xavier explained the world the turtles were now in. He let his thoughts drift to Karma and why they had gone their separate ways; he remembered the night very well.
The couple decided to have a romantic dinner in the 1930's America and the night went on very well until Wraith presented the one thing he no one would ever have imagined him buying; an engagement ring. That's when the evening turned sour, Karma's response was; "Couldn't you get a bigger diamond?" From there the night degraded as the two took pot shots at each other and cursed each other's names. Then Karma said the one thing that both regretted; "Damned soul." He had always though he was more than that in her eyes, and those words burned years of love from his heart. That was over a millennia from where they currently stood in time, and as he looked at her he could see sadness in her eyes he hadn't before. He couldn't tell if it was because she truly missed him or if she had done as he suggested; grown up.
"That's disgusting!" Leonardo's shock brought the ghostly Scion back to his senses. "Why would anyone…" Leonardo was at a loss for words.
"The world is never fair Leo, isn't that right Karma?" Wraith looked at his ex with a curious gaze; she simply nodded as she hid her face.
"This world is lot more visceral than what you guys are used to." DM said, "You might want to stay even more low key than usual for a while."
"Indeed, you may feel free to reside here for the time being, the Xavier Institute for Gifted Children will welcome you." Xavier smiled with a nod.
"Thank you Professor Xavier, we will accept for the time being and I hope we will not impose on you or your students." Splinter bowed.
"Excellent, I wish I could offer you a place, but right now all the rooms are currently occupied, so I hope you won't mind taking the couches in the recreation room for the night." Xavier chuckled.
"Of course not, and thank you once more Professor." Splinter bowed his head as Logan escorted the new guests to their temporary "room" and the group broke up to get some sleep.
Karma was sitting just outside Xavier's office, on the balcony when Wraith floated up by her. She looked at him as he looked up to the night sky giving way to the approaching sun.
"You've grown up." Wraith said in almost a whisper. "What brought that on?"
"Therten." Karma meekly choked out. "When you guys were trying to stop him, my only thought was that you weren't going to make it." She then looked at Wraith who was staring right back at her. "What happened to us?"
"We forgot what it was that made us so special to each other." Wraith's voice was soft and floated with his Irish accent. "It just took nearly getting killed to help us remember."
"Like a cheesy romance film." Karma threw herself back and Wraith effortlessly caught her. "Always there to catch me." Then the two looked on as the sun continued to creep over the horizon.
