Chapter eleven- This is the part where the rap breaks down

"We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger." -Tad Williams

There is that day in your life where you just wake up and know "Yeah today is going to be a total piece of shit". That's what I woke up feeling this morning. And it might just have been because I woke up to Fred flipping my mattress, with me still on it, or it may have been because I came to find that Tabby had blown up the shower again, or it might have been something deeper than that.

But needless to say, I was not a happy koala when I walked downstairs and I think that everybody noticed. Except Toad of course.

"Hey Roxy!" He chirped happily as he bounced into the room, then onto the cabinet that I was about to go into, and then over onto the ledge of the sink to try to catch flies there.

"I swear to go-" I started before feeling a quick breeze roll by me which then ended with Pietro leaning on the cabinet in front of me.

"What's up Sweets?" He asked with a coy smirk as he leaned in nice and close to me. Like a kitten eying a ball of yarn. Which makes me the yarn. Which means I will potentially be shredded to death. I no longer like this analogy. I then tried discreetly taking a step backwards, which Pietro of course noticed. "Why are you backing away?" He asked confused.

"I don't want to be ripped to shreds!" I yelled quickly before grabbing my pop tarts and running out of the house and into Lance's car. But looking around I realized that I was the only one there and that we were all running early for once. Sweet!

"So, uh Rox." Tabby said slowly as she and the rest of the Brotherhood walked out to the car, "What the hell was that all about?"

"What was all about?" I asked innocently as everybody piled into the car, thus causing me to stand up so that Toad, Tabby, and Pietro could sit in the back with me and then sat on Tabby's lap.

"That whole 'being ripped to shreds thing', yo" Toad asked confused while watching a fly fly around the car.

"And don't you usually sit on my lap, Sweets?" Pietro asked, looking slightly hurt.

"Um, yeah. But today I wanted to sit on Tabby's lap cos I like this side of the car better." I said with a shrug. Yeah, that sounds believable. Everybody in the car looked very confused by me, so that was normal.

...

"Hey, wild blue yonder boy." I said with a small smirk playing on my lips as I took my usual seat right behind him in English

"Arg, vhy does everybody call me zhat?" He said with a frustrated sigh as he turned back to look at me, "First Tabbizha and now you? And zhen zhere iz zhat stupis 'Fuzzy Lumpkins' one. I don't even know vhat that means! Like is it supposed to be cute or mean or vhat?"

"Whoa man, it is way too early for you to be going all bat shit crazy on me." I said as I waved a hand in front of his face, "Try this rant on my again at lunch."

"Zhorry, I juzt had a very bad night." He sighed again as he slumped forward, and rested his head in his hands, "Logan vas in a bad mood so he made us stay an extra hour for training and zhen Kitty kept trying to make me taste her muffins so I had to hide vrom her all night and didn't go to sleep until three."

"Aw, I feel you blue boy." I said with a sympathetic pat on the shoulder, "The brotherhood boys kept me over until like two in the morning then my dad yelled at me for a couple hours when I got home and then I only fell asleep or like an hour before school today." Which was the truth, I didn't sleep and I was up until two talking to Toad and Tabby.

"Vell you should go to bed nice and early tonight." He said with a smile "Zhat's what I'm doing."

"Yeah, that's what I'll do." I said with a completely fake smile, knowing that nothing of that sort would happen tonight.

...

Come gym class, and I was hiding under the bleachers. Far away from all the stupid loud people and all the stupid bright light. But apparently the stupid loud people could still come find me. As was proven at Pietro was suddenly sitting next to me in the rafters of the bleachers and handing me a cigarette. Which I took gladly.

"So why do you seem petrified of me today?" He asked quietly, so as to not alert the teachers that we were under here.

"I'm a ball of yarn and you're a cat and you just want to unwind me." I said just as quietly, but not because of the teachers, but because in saying it out loud I realized just how stupid I sounded.

"Is that like some kind of girl metaphor or something?" He asked with a raised eye brow.

"No, you just looked like a cat this morning and it scared me." I mumbled with a shrug before shrugging lightly and yawning.

"When was the last time you slept?"

"The day that Toad set the kitchen on fire while trying to cook hot dogs." I said after a moment of thinking.

Pietro sat quietly for a moment, probably trying to remember how long ago that night was before looking at me shocked, "Sweets, that was over a week ago!"

"I'm aware." I dead panned.

"Well come on, gym is almost over." He said as he jumped down from his seat and held a hand out for me, "So let's head to lunch now and get some grub!"

"We don't have any money, dumb ass." I said with a roll of my eyes as I jumped down without his hand.

"Yeah, but I have Evan's wallet."

...

"I'm making mac and cheese! Oh I'm making mac and cheese! And no god damned fat asses will eat it on me!" I sang loudly while dancing around the kitchen before hearing Freddy object from the room which only caused me to laugh and dance more.

"So I hear this rumor that you're making mac and cheese?" Pietro chuckled as he walked into the kitchen.

"How did you know?" I smiled widely while dancing in a circle around him.

"Just a guess." He smiled back t me as he grabbed my hand and spun me in a circle quickly, "So what's got you in such a good mood?"

"I'm making food!" I squealed happily, "There is nothing better than food!"

"You're so cute." Pietro purred while pulling me into him so our chests were touching and I could feel his breath on my face. His face tilted slightly and he began to lean into me. And just as I closed my eyes, the door slammed open. Looking up slowly I saw a blue chick in a small black skirt and shirt. As soon as Pietro noticed her he gasped loudly and pushed me away. Dick.

"Mystique?" He practically screamed as ran into the hallway which then prompted everybody else to assemble in the hallway with shocked looks on their faces. Except Tabby, she was still up in her room. And me, I was confused. How did the focus of the conversation go from me to a blue chick? And who was the blue chick? Was she that scary shape shifting blue chick that they were all afraid of? That would make sense.

"Guess whose back?" She chuckled darkly while looking at the four boys then around the house.

"Hey, is that really you, yo?" Toad asked stupidly as he got very close to her, as if to inspect her before she picked him up by the throat and threw him, "Yeah, it's you."

"You pathetic lazy clods have destroyed my house!" She yelled with her hands on her hips.

"Yeah, well we've been kinda thinking about cleaning up." Freddy said with a stutter as he rubbed the back of his head and looked down at his shoes.

"You so that." She nodded, "And while you're at it, grow some back bones! What happened to the team of tough mutants I assembled?"

"W- what are you talking about?" Pietro stuttered out, "we're as tough as ever!"

"Really? When was the last time you beat the X-men?" She waited only half a beat before continuing, "Oh that's right, once you got her to help you!" And with that I was brought into the conversation.

"Let me guess, Mystic right?" Tabby spat out as she made her way down the stairs, probably after hearing the commotion.

"Try Mystique." Well I guess that clears up who she is, I thought to myself. "Now, this is my home and my rules. Rule number one: move out of my room! Think you can handle that, Bam-bam?"

And then I knew that shit was going to go down because Tabby got that evil look in her eyes and she put her hands together. The only times that she did these two things together was when she was making some of her bombs. And low and behold, her hands were glowing with freshly made bombs.

"Yeah, I can." All together the guys gasped loudly before Pietro ran up the stairs and held her hands back together.

"Probably not a good idea Boom- boom." He scolded quietly while taking the ball of energy out of her hand and throwing it at Freddy. Who just looked really confused for a moment before throwing it at me. Who, without a second thought, handed it to Toad and threw him into the kitchen. Which was quickly followed by a loud bang and a scream.

"Fine whatever, I was getting sick of living in moron manor." Tabby grumbled as she made her way back up the stairs.

"She learns quickly, unlike the rest of you." Mystique said with a glare at the boys before turning to me, "Maybe I should have made a team of girls. They seem much more competent."

"Yeah…" Pietro said after a long moment of awkward silence just as Toad walked out of the kitchen with his hair standing on ends, "Where have you been all this time?"

"All you need to know is that I'm back and that those arrogant X-men are about to be knocked down a peg." She said with a knowing smirk before moving out of the door way, "Meet your new secret weapon."

And just like that a girl with ratty looking black hair and a very cute red corset top walked into the room. And Pietro looked like he shit a brick.

"Wanda?"

"Pietro!"

Then shit started flying. Literally. There were pipes breaking through the ceiling, bursting water at us. The book shelves had all of their books go flying before they fell themselves. The closets burst open and all their contents went everywhere. And the stove top burst on fire.

"My macaroni!" I screamed in anguish just as Pietro came up beside me and pulled me behind the couch with the rest of the guys. Looking back up, there was now a bowling ball imprinted in the wall directly behind where my head used to be. That could have hurt.

"Ex-girlfriend?" Toad asked in a panic as he looked up to Pietro.

"Worse." He panted out between deep breathes, "My sister."

"I thought you said she as in an asylum?" I whispered to him, not wanting her to hear.

"Last time I checked, she was!" He whispered back with a confused look on his face.

"You two need some serious family counseling!" Lance yelled as he lost his balance. Once he regained it he was glaring at Pietro, "Make her stop."

Pietro just stared at Lance as if he were stupid, "You make her stop."

Lance gave the universal 'fine' shrug and stood up. He extended his arms out towards the beast from hell and made the ground shake, causing a crack in the ceiling to head towards her. But with an equal extension of her arms, the crack was quickly heading towards us. And a large portion of the ceiling felon us. Well them. I teleported out of the way. But while I was just trying to teleport out of the room, I ended up at the Xavier Mansion. Weird.

By the time I had managed (Correctly) to teleport back to the house it appeared that all the chaos had calmed down, although Tabby's old room no longer had windows or furniture or appeared to be livable and there was now an old lady in the kitchen sipping tea.

...

Finally, it was Friday. I had slept for a total of two hours the night before, Wanda had not only gotten control over her powers but also a nice new haircut, the creepy old lady had stopped babbling in some kinda hippie talk and had left, and Pietro had been thrown out a window at least three times today. All was right with the world! Oh, and did I mention the best part?

"We're going to the mall! Oh, we're going to the mall! And we're not going to be super drunk and lose my favorite pair of panties in a tree!" I sang happily as I skipped down the stairs in a pair of sweat pants and a tank top, only to be met by three boys all looking confused, two girls looking at me like I was an idiot, and Pietro smirking. "Although that was a good night."

"I worry about you, Roxy." Toad said as he stood in a crouched toad like position, "I really do, yo."

"Focus people." Mystique growled out to us, "Now is not the time to slack off. Today will be when you all prove to me that you are worth all the effort by defeating the X-men. Now go."

And with that we all headed out to the car. With Lance driving, Wanda in the passenger's seat, that only left Toad, Freddy, Pietro and I in the back. So of course, I sat on Pietro's lap. Where I then proceeded to continue my 'going to the mall' song and dance. But doe to the circumstances it was more so a hum and wiggle.

"Sweets, you really need to sit still." Pietro whispered into my ear as he pulled me closer to him, "This car is way too full and has one too many of my sister's in it for me to be getting this excited."

"You're no fun." I giggled as I sat still.

...

"So this is the mall." I said to Wanda as we all walked into the large area. "The security is laughable and the food is crap. Oh, and over there is where you will be making your dramatic entrance as soon as we all start to lose our individual battles."

"Thanks." Was all she could manage to mumble out before we heard a bunch of noise coming from the parking lot.

"Now everybody, scatter." Following my own instructions I ran up the stairs with Pietro but then turned right where he turned left. I think he was heading towards the place that tailors suits. And I was heading for the toy store! The best place in the whole mall!

Quickly I used a couple shadows from the nearby empty corners to pull open the grates that were separating me from the store. But instead of releasing the shadows, I kept them close by so as to keep my black hair. Once inside, I began running around and turning all of the loud toys on and laughing loudly, hoping to get someone's attention.

"H- hello?" A voice with a distinctive southern twang to it stuttered out, "Who's in here?"

Deciding to have some fun with her, I collected my group of shadows and teleported behind her which then also made the area around her much darker.

"Just me." I whispered into her ear. But just as quickly as I had appeared behind her, she had whipped around and grabbed my face with her suddenly bare hand.

All of the events of my life flashed through my eyes. Everything. Running away from home, watching Kurt in the lunch room, meeting the Brotherhood, meeting Kurt, watching myself change between Fleur and Roxy in the mirror, talking with Kurt in his room, sleeping on a bench in a park, and watching the Lion King with Kurt.

And then everything went black or a moment before light overwhelmed all of my senses. Looking around confused, I was laying on the floor with Rogue crouched above me and my head was pounding.

"Roxy?" She asked with a shocked look on her face, "But… It's you?"

"Please don't tell him." I mumbled as loudly as I could. Which if we're being realistic, I don't think it was very loud at all. The last thing I remember hearing was Rogue curing from above me as she tried to pick me up and then nothing.

...

"Where am I?" I asked myself when I woke up in an all-white room and was laying on a small bed with white sheets.

"You are in the medical wing of the mansion." Hank McCoy said as he walked into the room with a clip board.

"So you're a doctor now too?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"So you're a mutant?" He shot back with a playful smile on his lips. "Now, just so you are aware you not only have an iv in to make sure you stay hydrated but also this lovely little bracelet which will make it so you are unable to use your powers while here. I personally think that it is a bit much, but Logan insisted that you should have it on while you are here."

"Well that's just dandy." I said sarcastically with a roll of my eyes before a question popped into my head, "So what exactly happened?"

"Rogue touched you for a bit too long and absorbed a too much of your essence which is what caused you to pass out. You will be fine; we just want to keep you here over night for observations." Hank explained.

"So does that mean that everybody knows-"

"Zhat you have been lying to us zhis whole time?" A familiar voice said as he walked through the door. But it seemed foreign at the same time because of the anger laced into his voice, I had never heard that before, "Yes."

"Well, I'll just leave you too along." Hank said as he made a beeline out the door.

"Kurt, I-"

"Save it." He spat out as he headed back towards the door, "I just came to make zure zhat you vere alright. But I zee zhat you are, so I'm leaving."

"I didn't mean to hurt you!" I screamed at him, hoping he would listen. He paused for only a moment with his hand on the door knob, still not looking at me.

"Vell you did." Before I knew what had happened, the door swung open and slammed into the wall behind it and Kurt had stormed out, tail jerking back and forth as I trying to help convey his anger.
