Chapter 8: It Was An Accident!!
A/N: I made it so that whenever the X-Men are in battle, I'm going to go by their codenames every so often.
One afternoon, Professor X sent out a telepathic message to all the X-Men, asking them to come into the foyer. When everyone was situated, Charles came into the room and said to everybody, "The Brotherhood is terrorizing a local carnival. They are causing destruction and chaos, and we need to get there immediately." Scott stood and said, "Of course, professor. All right, guys, let's go!"
The team changed into their uniforms and piled into the X-Jet, and Storm flew the plane to the carnival. As soon as the jet touched down, Professor X stayed in the jet and the team filed outside and started to search the grounds for the members of the Brotherhood, screams and cries from the people sounding from all around them. Shadowcat, Spyke, Nightcrawler, Anomaly, Rogue and Jean Grey were one team, and as they came around the ferris wheel, the ground suddenly shook tremendously and they all wobbled, but stood their ground as Avalanche made his presence known.
Lance Alvers came around the ferris wheel smirking, and he said, "Well, well, well, if it isn't the X geeks. I guess you're here to try to stop us?" Shadowcat stepped forward and said, "Hell yeah, and we're going to stop you!" Avalanche's cool demeanor changed when he saw his ex-girlfriend, and he took a step forward and said, "Kitty?" but Shadowcat stepped back and said, "No, Lance. Don't even try it. I have someone else who's better than you." Avalanche frowned slightly and said, "Oh, yeah? Who?" and Shadowcat was about to respond, but Spyke said suddenly, "She has me."
Avalanche's eyes nearly popped out of his skull, and he said, "Daniels? Daniels is your boyfriend? What the hell's he got that I haven't?" Shadowcat then said, "Well, he wouldn't cheat on me, like you did. He wouldn't treat me like a trophy girl, like you did. Oh, and he actually loves me, you know, like you don't."
At these words from Shadowcat, Avalanche grew ten times more angry, and he looked upwards, held out his hands and stomped his right foot into the ground, hard. The earth rippled and waved towards the group, headed straight for Spyke, but Shadowcat grabbed him around his waist and phased them into the ground before he was struck.
As Spyke and Shadowcat were fighting Avalanche, Anomaly, Nightcrawler, Rogue and Jean Grey were in battle with Toad and Quicksilver. Quicksilver noticed Anomaly, and he said, in his usual fast-paced voice, "Well, check it out, Toad man. The X nerds have new meat on their team." He then flew to Anomaly's right side, making her gasp and jump in shock at how fast he was. He then leant into her and said, "Hey, new girl. You're kinda hot. What are you doin' with these losers? You should join us, sweets." Nightcrawler lunged for Quicksilver, saying fiercely, "Leave her alone, Pietro!" Quicksilver easily dodged him, and he ran back next to Toad and said, "Why so touchy, blue boy? Is she your girlfriend, or something?" Kurt just growled menacingly, and Toad laughed and said, "Oh man, she is the furry freak's girl. How the hell did that happen? He's hideous!"
Anomaly stepped forward and growled out, "Don't you dare talk about him like that, you pathetic excuse for a mutant." Toad said, "Woah, check out the mouth on this one! I like her, she's feisty!" Then, Jean said, "Enough already!" and she threw Toad backwards with her mind until he hit the fence and was still for a while. Then, Quicksilver laughed and said, "Just try it, Red. I'm too fast for you." He then started running past them, hitting them as he did so. Then, Anomaly and Jean looked at each other and nodded, and they both used their minds and stopped him in mid-sprint, and as the two lifted him, he cried out, "Hey, cut it out. Put me down!" and Anomaly said, "Oh, put you down? Sure, no problem." She and Jean then stopped their telekinesis, and Quicksilver fell and hit the ground hard enough to have the wind knocked out of him, and he momentarily blacked out.
Then, Rogue took off her glove and moved forward, saying, "All right, speedy. Get ready, cuz you were askin for this." Before she could get to him, though, Blob came out of nowhere and bowled into her, sending her flying. Rogue groaned and stayed still for a bit, regaining her strength after feeling like she had been hit by a bus. Jean and Anomaly then sent Blob hurtling into a pile of wooden crates, and he made a small noise before he eventually blacked out, also.
Anomaly then walked up to Rogue, and she put her hand on her shoulder, but she startled her.
Rogue turned abruptly and, without thinking, put her un-gloved hand on Anomaly's face.
Anomaly let out a strangled yell, and before Rogue realized what had happened, her best friend dropped to the ground.
Nightcrawler, having seen the whole thing, yelled out, "NOOOO!!" and he ported to his girlfriend's side. He dropped to the ground beside her, and the whole time, Rogue was completely hysterical. She had put her glove back on, but she was now crying and saying over and over, " Ah didn't mean to, Kurt, ah didn't! She startled me; It was an accident. Ah'm sorry, ah'm so sorry. Ah really didn't mean to, Kurt. It was an accident."
Kurt stood with Ali in his arms, and he said, "It's okay, sis. I know you didn't purposely do it. Calm down."
The team then regrouped and went back to the jet, and when Charles saw Ali, he said, "We have to get her to the mansion." Ororo flew the jet back to the school, and the whole time, Kurt was holding Ali close to his chest, his eyes closed as he gently kissed her forehead and whispered that she was going to be all right, and Rogue was still saying, "It was an accident, Kurt, a horrible accident. Ah'm sorry, Al. I didn't mean it. Ah didn't."
