I'm writing this at, like, 3 am. What am I even doing.
Also, I'm gonna switch from 3rd person to 1st person. Still Kurt's POV.
The rest of the school day went by in a flash. Before I even knew it, the final bell had rung. I made my way to my locker, but paused when I noticed a piece of paper taped to it. It said 'Need to talk. Now. ~P'. What does Pietro want now?
I teleported to the school's outdoor basketball court where Pietro and the others were waiting.
"Alright, Pietro. We're all here. What is this about?" Scott asked.
"This!" Pietro exclaimed as he pulled a crudely drawn picture out of his backpack.
"What is it? A self portrait?" Rogue mocked.
"It's our image." Pietro bragged.
"What?" Jean was as confused as the rest of us.
"Our image! The way we present ourselves onstage. I'm thinking we should go with the punk-rock rebel look."
"What?" Scott blurted. It was more of an objection than a question.
"Makes sense." Rogue added.
"What!?" Scott was becoming more indignant by the second.
"I mean, all our songs are about how we're mistreated as mutants, and call for political and social change. The rebel look would work." Rogue explained.
"I think she's right." Jean agreed. "It would certainly draw some attention."
"Speaking of drawing attention," Pietro interjected, "I think Kurt and I should play shirtless."
Now it was my turn to say "What?"
"You always wear tanks when we practice anyway."
"That's because the lack of sleeves frees up my arms when I'm drumming."
"This way your whole torso will be free! Besides, it'll make you more popular with the ladies." Pietro wiggled his eyebrows on the last word.
"Whatever."
An hour later and we were back at my house going over what songs to play at the club.
"I think we should start with the one about being ignored by society." Jean suggested.
"What if we only get to play one song? We should play the one about all the verbal abuse we've endured." Scott argued.
"Our songs need names." I noted.
"So does our band." Rogue added.
"Oh. My. God." Pietro said, not looking away from the outfits he was trying to pick from. "We totally forgot to give the band a name!"
"We didn't forget." Scott defended. "We just haven't come up with one yet."
"How about 'Change For The Better'." Jean offered.
"I think we should use that for one of our songs." Scott countered.
"I got it!" Pietro exclaimed. "Quicksilver and the Brotherhood!"
"No." was the unanimous response.
"It should be representative of our status as mutants." Scott reasoned.
"And project our hope for change." Jean insisted.
Suddenly, an idea came to me like a starved cat to food. I grabbed the nearest scrap of paper and scrawled the name down as fast as I could.
"What about this?" I held the paper out for my friends to see.
"Kurt..." Scott began, "you're a genius."
They all smiled at the words I had written.
'X-Men rEvolution'
I finally figured out how to do the line!
