Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men Evolution
Xavier, Magneto, and Beast sat around a large table in the library working out the details of their plan. Do to the legal system and some connections they had, Duncan was all theirs. The guys who placed bets were facing a hefty fine, probation, and community service. The guys that took advantage of the girls, depending on the case were being charged with rape and would definitely do jail time and later probation. Xavier was currently planning on charging Duncan with conspiracy, conspiracy to rape, position of illegal drugs, distribution of illegal drugs, and disribution of illegal drugs to minors, each with numerous counts. It was just past eight o'clock and they had been working since shortly after dinner.
"I think that we've got everything sorted out." Xavier scanned over all the stacks of papers on the table.
"We need more evidence, all we have is that the girls went to the party and Duncan drugged them. With the other charges he'll pay a fine and a maximum of two months in jail with a three-year probation." Magneto said angrily.
"Everyone with the exception of Wolverine and Storm are willing to testify in court." Xavier maintained his calm nature.
"Three months then. We still need more." Magneto slammed his fists on the table.
"I'm afraid he's right Charles." Beast said lowering his glasses to the tip of his nose with one of his feet.
There was a knock on the door and Scott stepped in.
"I think I have something that could help." Scott tried to look confident and calm despite the situation.
He reached behind the door and pulled out a big whiteboard with a lot of writing on it.
"This is what Duncan used to keep track of the bets. He stole it from the school so it can be used as evidence, right?" Scott asked.
Before Xavier could say anything Magneto stood and smiled.
"Of course it can be used, it's evidence. And it will greatly help our case." Magneto said.
"Anything I can do." Scott nodded then turned and left.
Once the door closed Magneto looked at Xavier and Beast.
"Gentlemen, I think we have our case."
"Wake up you worthless bums!" Shouted Mystique as she entered the Brotherhood house.
Pietro ran down the stairs from his room and stopped abruptly in front of Mystique. Blob wobbled in from the kitchen and Toad fell out of the closet, which Wanda had stuffed him in last night. Wanda trudged down the stairs looking quiet pissed for being woken up from her sleep, and finally Lance ambled in from the living room with a bowl of cereal and a spoon at hand.
"Glad to see that my team is ready for anything." Mystique said sarcastically walking past Lance and into the living room.
The other mutants followed her into the room and waited to see what she would do next.
"We're going to court." Mystique smirked.
"Yo what'd we do now yo?" Toad asked.
"Not you, you bag of sludge. Lance, Pietro, and Wanda are to come with me to ensure that everything goes according to plan." Mystique said glaring at Toad.
"What time?" Lance asked sounding serious.
"The trial starts at noon. But you need to get there early so you can find a good seat." Mystique turned and walked to the archway of the room.
"Oh, and try to look presentable." Mystique looked Lance, Pietro and Wanda over quickly.
Once the door slammed signaling her exit Pietro turned to Lance and Wanda.
"You heard what she said, you two better get started if you want to look good by noon." Pietro said crossing his arms over his chest.
Wanda's eyes narrowed and Lance glared at Pietro. A wave was sent through the ground throwing Pietro up into the air, and then Wanda blasted him into the wall. Lance sat down on the couch and Wanda walked into the kitchen.
"Yo for once it wasn't me yo." Toad laughed, amused at Pietro's unconscious state.
Then a blast of blue energy grabbed Toad mid-hop and sent him through the window.
"Let's go through this one more time." Beast said to Kitty.
"Do we like have to, I know the questions and I need to like get ready?" Kitty asked.
"You may go. Send in Rogue please." Xavier calmly dismissed her.
"Thank you." Kitty got up and walked to the door.
Beast and the professor had been going through with the students what they would say if they were called up to the stand during the trial. They had gotten through the young mutants, Scott, Jean, Kurt, Evan, and now Kitty. Rogue was the only one left that they had yet to go over the questions with. The Goth mutant walked in and sat down in the chair in front of Xavier's desk.
"Are you ready Rogue?" Xavier asked.
"Do Ah have to do this professah, what if they ask meh how meh and Cody know each othah? Aren't there enough people already?" Rogue inquired.
"Rogue you are a very important part of this case. They will try to discredit as much of everyone's testimony as possible. The more reputable witnesses we have the stronger our case." Xavier stated.
Rogue took a deep breath, her eyes showing deep thought.
"Ok, Ah'll do it." Rogue sighed.
"Alright, first question." Beast said.
Xavier sat at the prosecutioner's table and looked over to the other side of the court as Duncan spoke to his parents and attorney.Xavier's students were seated in the very front rows, Jean and Scott were directly behind him. Kurt sat next to Scott, looking rather blue even with his inducer on, and on Kurt's other side was Evan. Ororo sat next to Jean looking worriedly over her shoulder at Logan in the next row. In Logan's row were all the new recruits, minus Jamie, talking amongst themselves as Logan glared at Duncan. Lastly in the third row sat Rogue and Kitty, they were both very quiet which for Rogue was normal but for Kitty it was very unusual. Unfortunately Beast's unwillingness to wear an image inducer was still strong, as he had decided to stay at the mansion to watch over Jamie.
"Nervous Charles?" Came the voice of an old friend and temporary ally.
Charles watched as Eric opened the small gate and took his seat next to him at the prosecutioner's table. Xavier had been so preoccupied with his students that he hadn't seen Magneto enter with Gambit and Pyro. Then the door opened and Mystique came in, disguised as Raven Darkholme of course, with Pietro, Wanda, and Lance. She walked up to the table and sat down on Xavier's other side. Xavier looked from Mystique to Magneto with only a small hit of confusion in his eyes.
"What are you two staring at, I'm here to help." Mystique said glaring down at them.
"I'm afraid that I can not permit you to tip the scales in our favor." Xavier watched Raven unpack a briefcase as he spoke.
"I don't know what your inferring but I am here acting as an attorney." Mystique stated denying what both Xavier and Magneto were thinking.
"Then why are you here, I didn't tell you to come." Magneto said leaning over Charles so he could whisper to Mystique.
"Why are you?" Mystique hissed back.
"It doesn't matter why either of you are here, all that matters is making our case and Mr. Mathews getting justice." Xavier quickly broke up the argument that he felt coming on.
"I hate to admit it but he's right." Mystique said crossing her arms over her chest.
"So we all agree to an alliance?" Xavier asked looking from one mutant team leader to the other.
"A temporary alliance." Magneto corrected.
Lance, Pietro, and Wanda entered and found some seats. Pietro hopped over the back of the bench to sit next to Tabitha, while Lance walked over to Kitty and sat down. Wanda sat in Rogue and Kitty's row but a good distance away from them. The moment Wanda sat down Remy and John took it as their signal to move. They stood up and walked from the last row to the third and sat down. Remy sat down next to Rogue as John nervously sat down next to Wanda. This forced the two Goths to scoot closer together to back away from the Acolytes.
"What are ya doing here?" Rogue asked as Wanda asked,
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Me and Johnny been assigned ta protect you ta fillies." Remy said trying to put his arm around Rogue.
But Rogue caught his arm and put it back by his side where it belonged.
"Me mate here's right. We got papers ta prove it." John said taking a small piece of paper out of his pocket as Remy did the same.
Wanda snatched the paper from John and read it aloud.
"St. John Allerdyce a.k.a Pyro has officially been assigned as body guard to Wanda Maximoff a.k.a Scarlet Witch by the authority of Eric Magnus Lensherr a.k.a Magneto." Wanda said then glared at Pyro.
Remy's note was basically the same, the only difference being the names. John's name was replaced by Remy's, Wanda's by Rogue's, and Magneto's Mystique's.
"So Shelias, can we stay?" John asked with a pleading look on his face.
Rogue looked to Wanda as Wanda looked to Rogue. Then they looked to the front of the room and upon seeing Magneto talking to Mystique and Mystique speaking to Xavier realized that they had little choice in the matter.
"Fahne." Rogue sighed.
"Yes." John raised his arm to try and put it around Wanda.
He hadn't even gotten close when he was caught.
"You touch me you go through the wall." Wanda said not even turning her head to look at him.
"You wouldn't do that to your savior now, would you Shelia?" John asked.
Pietro turned around from his seat and cut his hand across his throat quickly. John saw Pietro and slowly turned to look at Wanda.
"Would you?" He asked nervously this time.
"Do you want to find out?" Wanda glared at John in a way that made Rogue's stone hard glares look like the most soft and kind face in the world.
"No." John said in an usually high voice.
Wanda turned away from John and slouched down in the bench.
"I save you and I don't even get one stink'n thank you." He grumbled.
But unfortunately for him he spoke too loudly for Wanda had over heard. She turned to him with fury in her eyes that looked an awful lot like fire.
"If we weren't in a room full of people then I would show you how, thankful I really am." Wanda said glaring at John in that way again.
"I'm gonna hold you to that Shelia." John smiled completely ignoring Wanda's annoyed tone and the glare.
"Are you insane?" Kitty asked John having watched this surprisingly entertaining little session since it started.
"Yes actually, I've been detained twice this month so far." John leaned forward so that Kitty could see that he wasn't joking.
"It be true, Remy have ta bail him out five times last month." Remy said.
Rogue turned to Remy to ask him something when the bailiff started speaking.
"All rise for the honorable Judge Samson." The bailiff said loud enough for everyone in the room to hear him.
Aprilangel413: Are all of you Johnda fans satisfied now. I know it looks like Wanda hates his guts but it'll get better I promise. Again sorry for the wait. Review Please.
