My first instinct when I realized my predicament was to run like hell. But then I realized that she could just turn into a cheetah and beat the living crap outta me before I could even think to protest, so I settled for submission.
"The Boys." I said. "Oh, that! Well, it's funny you mention that."
"Please tell me that this involved caffeine and that they will calm down when it wears off." Mystique glared at me.
"Well, it will wear off." I started.
"Thank God!" Mystique groaned.
"But it's not caffeine." I think she's mad.
"What?" She shot one of her 'you will die a slow and painful death unless you tell me what is going on around here' glares at me.
"Wanda! You better have found some way to fix this!" Lance shouted as he stormed outside.
"Fix what?" Mystique growled.
"The stupid love spell she screwed up!" Lance shouted. "That's why those two idiots are dukin' it out in the yard!"
"I tried!" Yep, my last attempt involves stooping to dork level. Ick. "I even asked Agatha about it! She said that it has to play out on its own!"
"And how long will that take?" Mystique asked.
"Only another hour or so." I said. "Or until one of them impales the other, but what are the odds of that?'
"Wanda, this is Todd and John." Lance shouted. "Odds are pretty good."
He has a point there. Damn.
"Okay, maybe they could, but considering John's aim and Todd's agility, I'm not that worried about it." I covered.
If you're gonna lie, be convincing. I learned that from my brother. Dammit.
"Maybe you don't need to worry, but some of us do!" Mystique shouted. "Until this wears off, you will be watching over those two lunatics to make sure that no one gets seriously hurt!"
"What? Why do I have to do it?" I asked.
"Because your are the one who caused this, so you shall be the one to babysit them until this clears up!" Mystique shouted.
Somebody must have hit me with the stupid stick this morning. That's the only explanation for this whole conversation.
"Yes, Ma'am." I sighed.
"Good." She said, then looked at what they were doing in the back yard. "What on earth are they doing."
I looked up to see John about to stab poor Todd with his lightsaber. As much as the little frog annoys me, I can't just watch him die.
"Todd! No!" I shouted as I raced over to him.
The next few seconds seemed like an eternity. Some time between when I took off and when I got there, my brother had gotten shoved out a window (for what, I don't even wanna know), and was gonna land on one of them. John seemed distracted by the falling speedster, and dropped the light-sword. Todd was still frozen in place, and I barely got to shove him down in time. If I'd remembered, I would have grabbed the Aussie while I was there, but I was more afraid of what Mystique would do to me if I let anything happen to the little wart.
Thudd!
"Ow!"
"Wha?" Todd groaned as the spell wore off. "What happened?"
"Would ye get off of me?" John shouted. Pietro let out a screech that sounded like a dying squirrel when he realized how he'd landed, and sped off.
"Oh, John, I am soo sorry." I said. "I just didn't have time to think and…"
"It's okay." John said. "I can forgive your loveliness for a lapse in judgment."
"Thanks." Todd squeaked.
"No problem." I said, getting back up. I looked back to see if Lance and Mystique were still on the lawn, and discovered that both were still there. I could have put up with any comments from the boys, but that smirk on Mystique's face gave me the sudden urge to crawl into a hole and die.
"What are you staring at?" I shouted.
"Forget it!" Lance shouted as he walked back to the front door. "The thought is just too disturbing for words!"
Ooohhh! I wonder what that was about?
"What are you still doing out here?" I asked Mystique as I walked back to the front door(mainly because it was still unlocked).
"Just observing." She said coolly. Now I know why Rogue left to avoid torture! That wicked glint that showes up (assuming that it leaves at some point) in that woman's eyes is downright disturbing.
Although it might help explain the mystery of why it's impossible to kill her.
"I'm going to shower!" I groaned. "This is just insane!"
Ha! Take that Father! I am not the one who needed to be in the asylum! Wait, then why did I save Toad? Does that mean that he's my true love? Ewwww! I'd rather take Pyro!
Hold the phone! I can take him! Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh happy day!
"Why are you smiling like a maniac?" My brother asked as I walked up the stairs.
"Go lick a flagpole!" Okay, so it was seventy-something degrees outside? The implication was the same!
Short, I know, but I'm getting lost as to where to go with this. If any of you favor a particular Wanda pairing, review and tell me about it! Absolutely NO SLASH ALLOWED!
