A/N sorry for the delay. And as per usual I own nothing except the character of Pol. I don't own any of the songs either. A lot has changed since I updated this. I've changed jobs among other things, and I would just like to thank all of you who are following this, and keep reading. I had a bit of reader's block as well. Enjoy the chapter
The Avengers helped with the city cleanup, and morale after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, and the other attacks. The Magicals helped with the debris clearing, and extinguished any flames left. They also consoled anyone they saw distraught in and about the city. With the passage of time, things got back to normal, or rather, the closest thing to normal for the Avengers.
Pranks through the tower were not an uncommon thing. With All of the Marauders plus Tony's and, surprisingly Bellatrix's, penchant for mischief, it was never boring,to say the least. Although there was a general rule; don't mess with Emma's or Narcissa's cosmetics. Sirius tended to forget that rule frequently. This generally ended one of two ways: Emma turning her hand into diamond, and punching him in the stomach, or Narcissa would put her hair into a ponytail, and lock all the doors to the room, with only the two of them. Sirius would be pleading for them not to let her, but it didn't work. He would emerge from the room about ten minutes later, visibly shaken up.
Tony, James, and Severus had collaborated on a prank product that they saved just for the collective family . During their trip to The Stark Family's private island in the Bahamas, three years after the attacks , they set it in motion. They developed a kind of candy by combining science and magic that created a unique effect on the eater. Their clothes would change, and a wig would appear on their head, and they would begin dancing and lip syncing to a song coming out of their mouth. Dora and Pol tried the first one. They morphed and began syncing to "Bring me to life" by Evanescence. The pranksters decided to hide the candies in plain sight. Minerva bit into one, and was dressed like Missy Elliott, and began syncing "Work it". When she changed back, she looked at the group and gave her thinned lip glare. " Someone will pay for that." Tony and the rest of the men in the room had been cringing during the performance, well cringing and laughing, depending on the person.
Lily and Wanda had been informed prior to the finished versions of the product about them and been given ones to use on their respective husbands, courtesy of Bellatrix. Lily, with help of Harry and Severus, held James down and forced it down his throat. His hair turned long and blonde, while his clothes turned into a red vinyl jumpsuit while "Oops I did it again" by Britney Spears started playing out of his mouth and lip syncing it. Sirius got a similar treatment. Although his clothing was more risqué. The song coming out of his mouth was "Dirty" by Christina Aguilera. Bellatrix bit into one that was Shakira's song "Hips don't lie". Tony had been eating a candy bar, when all of a sudden, his mouth had dark grey smoke come out of his mouth, and then, he had the song "Barbie Girl", by Aqua lip syncing out of his mouth. Sirius had a look of angelic innocence which only made him look more suspicious. Pol shifted into his mother, and tricked his stepdad into taking one that made him start lip syncing the song "Milkshake" by Kelis. The real Andromeda gave one to Narcissa, after being told the name of the song by Tony, which made her start lip syncing "Material girl" by Madonna. It should also be noted that the younger children were in bed by this point. The ladies took a bite of a larger one that made them start lip syncing "Backstreets Back" by the Backstreet Boys. The Tonks twins each did an individual song. Dora did "Sk8ter Boi" by Avril Lavigne , and Pol did "American Idiot" by Green Day. The gentleman did a group one to the remake of Lady Marmalade. Carol, after asking Severus, bit into one that made her start dancing very provocatively on top of Remus after shoving him into a chair. Remus had blushed a slightly alarming shade of red, while all of the other Marauders were smirking or wolf whistling, while their wives were rolling their eyes. When it ended, Carol grabbed Remus and flew toward their bedroom the door shut behind them. It should be noted that the candies didn't work on Thor, while Clint and Natasha avoided them and spiked the responsible ones' drinks with concentrated laxatives.
Emma, Betsy, and Jean all decided to have a chat on the Astral Plane. The topic was debating on joining the Avengers full time, and leaving the X Men, even though Jean's husband Scott Summers, aka Cyclops, was the leader of the team. "Jean, why are you wanting to leave the X men? I figured that you would be the one who would want to stay," said Emma with a look of confusion. "I am conflicted about it. I want to stay with my husband,but I want to be with my sister and her family. Plus Scott will never leave the X men, he butts heads with Captain America and Iron Man too much." "But if we all leave the team, they'll be left without a psychic. The professor almost never does field work." "Darling, I just thought of something I need to talk to Severus about. I think I know who will be forced to help the team by field work or using Cerebro: my darling daughters, Celeste Mindee and Phoebe The Three-in-one." "The boys wouldn't know what to if the girls came to the tower."
