- I forgot I'd put this in last time. Anyways, what it meant was that Kitty was talking about the episode Shadowdance, when Forge reveals a new machine similar to the one in Middleverse. It looks the same but basically sends things back where they came from. Now on the chapter two!

And for my own sake, the Brotherhood will still be referred to as 'he' and 'him' and 'his' and such. For me, it's just easier. Thanks.

Xavier sat in front of the Brotherhood, who were clad in loose T-shirts and shorts generously provided by the X-men. Wanda sat next to her brother, staring at his new chest in horror. He glanced at her and they both grimaced.

" I can provide image inducers for you, but... they won't change much. And no image inducer can hide how you're bodies would feel to the touch. And the chests may be a problem," he explained, holding up one of the inducers, " Changing female into male is much more difficult then male into female,"

" So.. They're kinda pointless, right?" Pietro said, moving his hair back. Xavier nodded, " Well, then, we'll just live as girls. Forge'll have us fixed up in no time, right?"

" Um.. Not exactly..." Forge interrupted, stepping forward from the wall he'd been leaning against, " That experiment was supposed to be my science project in the seventies. But since it didn't work, I started on my other one. All these one did was turn my friend into a boy. Seems all it does is change people's sex,"

" Then just blast us again," Toad suggested, pointing at the gizmo.

" No good. It'd probably kill you," the four shuddered, " When I tried to turn Sam back, she nearly died and I had to stop the process halfway through. Um... then I started work on my other one and didn't have a chance to work on a counter experiment,"

" So... what? You need a week or something?" Pietro questioned, crossing his legs quickly. Forge rubbed his arm uncomfortably.

" Um... actually... it could take years... I have no idea what to do. This one's broken, so I can't analyze it for clues..." Forge informed them, running a hand through his hair, " Looks like you guys... er girls... will be like that for a while.."

" Years!! We could be like this for years!!" Pietro exclaimed, suddenly on his feet. Lance looked like he'd been shot and Toad and Fred looked at each other in disgust, before shuddering.

" Sorry,"

" Oh my God... there goes my life," the speedster sank back down onto the couch. Xavier looked at all of them, sighing.

" I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do for you now. I'll work with Forge as best I can to help him find an answer," he assured them. He received no response , save for a couple desperate glances, " If you need a place to stay, you're more then wel-"

" We'll survive, Professor. Thanks," Lance cut him off, getting to his feet. He cast a forlorn glance at Kitty, who quickly looked away, " I'm sure... Wanda can teach us... a thing or two... but we'll take those inducer... just in case, right, guys?"

" I'm going home to hang myself," Pietro hissed before vanishing out the library door. Fred grabbed the hand full of inducer and walked out of the room. Toad looked over at Wanda and smiled weakly.

" No," was all she said before getting to her feet and leaving. Toad hurried after her, exclaiming that he was a different person now and asking her wasn't that what she wanted. She screamed in rage but he continued to follow her as she stormed after Fred.

" This... um... puts a damper on our relationship, doesn't it, Kitty?" Lance muttered, wishing he didn't sound like such a girl. She looked up at him with sad eyes and weakly nodded.

" I'm sorry... I can't..."

" No... it's okay... I understand..." he turned without another word and left the library as well, head hung low and hands shoved into his pockets. Kitty bit her lower lip but didn't call out to him or even try to stop him. She just let him leave.

Outside, the Brotherhood climbed into Lance's car and headed home. Halfway there, however, Wanda leaned forward from the back seat. Lance briefly glanced her way.

" I doubt any of you will fit into your old clothes. You need to buy some more," she casually told him, before leaning back in the seat next to Pietro and Toad. All four choked, " And you need underwear,"

" God dammit. Could this night get any worse?" Lance hissed, roughly jerking the car around in a U-turn.

" I doubt it," Pietro sneered as he sank down in his seat.

" Oh, it can. We still gotta get the clothes," Fred answered, touching his wild hair. Lance groaned, before taking the road that lead to the mall, " And be seen in public,"

" We're not going to the mall, then," Lance muttered, turning the car around again and speeding off towards the little clothes outlet. He parked in front and climbed out, motioning for the others to come with him, " Don't fucking talk to anyone. We look like whore in these clothes... except you Wanda... of course,"

The five walked into the store. The clerk ignored their presence and they fanned out to try and find clothes that fit and were their style. Wanda stayed with her brother and tried to find him the right size. They settled for her size and he zapped into the dressing room to change. Wanda stayed outside as he tried them on and declared them a perfect fit.

" Yay. It's that wonderful, sis? We can trade clothes now!" he declared, modeling the outfit for her. She rolled her eyes, " I look hot, don't I?"

" You're gay," Lance said, walking by and into a dressing room. His choice in clothes were some that were bigger then normal. The last thing he wanted was for some random guy to start checking him out. The thought itself made him gag.

" How do you figure out what size bra to wear?" Fred asked Wanda, leaning down. She blushed a little before telling him how to measure the part below the breast for the number and then measuring over the breasts to find out the number difference, which would give the cup size ( one inch A, two inch B, and so on). He nodded, before grabbing some measuring tape and excusing himself into a dressing room to fit himself. He found himself to be a 40DD, of which the store didn't carry.

" You'll have to buy it tomorrow at the mall," she answered when he told her. He weakly nodded, holding the clothes he'd found to be his size.

" I'm a 38D, what about you, Lance?" Pietro asked, pushing up his own chest. Lance turned a bright red, coughing a little. He muttered a number, " 36C? Well, that's pretty good. How about you, Toad?"

" Huh? I dunno. I haven't measured yet. I don't wanna bra," Toad said, hands on his hips. The others gave him weird looks, " It won't help anythin'. I need ta axe someone about ways ta completely restrain my chest. I hop, 'member?"

" Oh yeah... hey Wanda, what color sports bra should I get?" Pietro asked, holding up a red one and a white one. She moaned and turned away.

" You're getting way too into this, Quicksilver," Lance snapped, before going back into the dressing room to change. He stuck out his tongue.

" If I'm going to be a girl for a couple years, I'm going to like the way I look. Besides, I can just act lesbian. I'm sexy enough to turn straight girls," he said, before choosing the white sports bra. Wanda walked away so he couldn't ask her anymore questions. It really was too embarrassing for her.

After Wanda left, the others figured they better hurry up before she took off with the car. They went up to the counter, paid for their clothes, then headed out to the car and got inside. Lance revved it to life and finally headed towards their home.

Tomorrow, they would begin their new lives as the 'Sisterhood'. And it would begin with Fred going to the mall for a bra and Toad searching for answers on what to do with his chest.
