Chapter 70

Of Troublesome Booms

Disclaimer: And we are at 70 chapters, whoo-hoo! Part of this chapter was something I was originally gonna have at least two chapters on (maybe a little more depending on how things went) but I'm not feeling too inspired to do that. So maybe as a side story on its own it'll be a thing.

Cleveland, Ohio, The Jammers School

"Do you know why you're in my office right now, Ms. Vandermer?" Questioned Alison 'Dazzler' Blaire as she looked at one Starla 'Gossamyr' Vandermer across from her desk.

"To let me know I was in the right after all where Kathy Mecner is concerned?" Asked Starla smugly.

Referring to her recent spat with the school's head Cheerleader by the name of Kathy Mecner, whose Mutation had turned her skin Yellow. Kathy's position being one Starla herself had long coveted since her parents had reached out to the school where she and her little brother Tayler 'Static' Vandermer are concerned after they themselves had their Mutations activated and ended up enrolled at the Jammers School. Alison stared flatly at the younger girl for a moment before speaking. "No, Ms. Vandermer, you are no where near right. In fact, this is just another long line of incidents you've been involved in due to your appalling behavior and unfavorable views on various things."

Odin himself would've been driven to great rage by this girl and things had to be re-organized after Kyle Wildfire had gotten rather pissed with Starla following a few comments of hers and nearly put her in the school's Medical facilities. Starla stared at the older woman with her jaw hanging open, not having expected this whatsoever! "But… But I am in the right! I am the superior Cheerleader and everyone knows it! Not to mention way better looking! And its not my fault if no one can handle perfectly valid opinions!"

"Looks are not everything, Ms. Vandermer. And again, you are not in the right nor are you the superior Cheerleader and what you call 'valid opinions' is unacceptable and will stop immediately. Ms. Mecner has been part of this school's Cheerleading team in one form or another since she was enrolled and has actually earned her spot as the Captain. To that end, you are effectively banned from being a part of the team and other activities this school offers until you've shown some maturity."

"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!?" Screamed out an irate Starla as she shot out of her seat.

"Sit down, Ms. Vandermer!" Ordered Alison in a no-nonsense tone of voice but the girl refused to do so.

Making the Singer and head of the school narrow her eyes at the girl. "Very well, you can add a month's worth of Detentions with Mr. Proudstar."

Her words made the girl's eyes widen in horror. "But he's such a hard ass! There's no way he'll let me off easy!" Complained the girl and only making her hole that much bigger.

"That's the point, Ms. Vandermer, and I think I'll be having a talk with the rest of the staff to ensure they haven't been capitulating to your whims while you've been in this school." And if they have been…

Well, it was not going to be pleasant whatsoever! "This… This is unfair!"

"Life is unfair, Ms. Vandermer. And even if it wasn't, we would still be in this office right now discussing your behavior and your punishments. Shape up as this school will not tolerate your actions for much longer, is that understood?"

Starla refused to answer the woman, instead, crossing her arms and stamping her foot as she looked away with a pout on her face. "I asked 'is that understood?', Ms. Vandermer!"

"Yes! I understand but I refuse to like it whatsoever and just further cements my opinion this school is lame!" God how she missed being the Queen of her School!

"Then return to your dorm room before I limit where you can and can't go."

Glaring at the older woman, Starla huffed unhappily before opening the door and leaving, slamming it in the process. Alison sighed as she shook her head. That girl has been spoiled rotten and I don't know if there's anything we can do to get her off the path she's on. The Professor himself would probably have his hands full with her if things hadn't gotten like they had. Still… I better let John know what he's in store for.

Odin knew he wasn't gonna be happy!

Elsewhere In The UK

The UK based team known as Excalibur watched as the town in front of them exploded thanks to an air strike from above with grim looks on their faces. Faint, inhuman screeches could be heard from the town as the explosions rocked it, destroying everything. "I hate that it came to this but those things left us no choice." Katherine 'Shadowcat' Pryde said solemnly.

Whom, along with Kurt, Betsy, her brother Brian aka Captain Britain, Micromax, and Pete Wisdom helped create the UK Government backed team known as Excalibur in the aftermath of saving Kitty from a Dark Soul Possession. Something that had left her a little more grown up and a little colder due to the experience. Even preferring to now go by the name of 'Kate' instead of 'Kitty'. "I know, but I still don't like it." Captain Britain told her softly.

Their enemy in this now bombed town was a fearsome nightmare that had over taken the residents and were planning to expand. Even trying to bring them into the fold so to speak and it ultimately forced Captain Britain to make the call for an air strike. "Maybe we can reach out to Cleveland and see what they know about these… Brood?" Suggested Betsy 'Psylocke' Braddock as she stood by her brother's side.

As given their connection with Outer Space, they were bound to know something. Brian nodded. "Yeah, but first, we need to report in."

"That's goin' to be a ton of fun." Groused Pete Wisdom and both Kurt and Micromax agreed with the man.

But none the less, it had to be done. And when asked later about the Brood to the folks in Cleveland, they'd pale considerably before telling the group all they knew.

Author's Notes: Hope folks enjoyed! Its always fun when punishing good ol' Starla! Kathy Mecner is an OC I randomly came up with while writing this but anyone is of course free to use her, And yeah, the second part is what I was referring too earlier and if I get the motivation, I'll expand on it in its own separate fic.
