Mutants of the mansion
chapter 16
I really don't have any Xbox live or Steam friends, so on Xbox, my gamertag is UrufuTenshi, and my Steam name is HarleyRend. I'm a lonely person XD
(Jubilee)
For some strange reason, I woke up in my room. Didn't I fall asleep in the treehouse? Rogue left after like, 5 more episodes of Pokémon. Apparently they didn't need to over-explain everything and make it too dramatic. I fell asleep, and now I am magically here. Atleast they were nice enough to take my coat and shades off. I better get up. With some effort, I managed to sit up and stretch. Stupid cast. Annnnd, no crutches. A wheelchair? Awh man! Wait, is that clock right? 2 in the morning? That wasn't a very long sleep. Apparently, the idea of a wheelchair is to move it as far away as possible, so the person who needs it can't get to it. What whoever put it there didn't know, is that I have a grabby claw hidden in my bedside table. When I was settled in it, and in the hall, my next challenge loomed: The stairs. Actually, I' pretty hungry now that I think of it. Even if the kitchen is still frozen over, I have hidden chocolate in the TV room. Nobody but me likes horror books, and I have a secret box that's decorated to look like a Darren Shan book. Because I'm awesome. Alright, let's get down these stairs. First, I balanced on the two back wheels, then every time I went down a step, I rolled backwards a bit. Made it to he bottom with barely any noise. I win!
"Chew on that, physics!" I grinned, wheeling back and forward for a few minutes so I could get used to the chair. When I was comfortable, I went for the kitchen, but surprise, surprise, it was still frozen. Rolling my eyes, I rolled the chair into the TV room. Now for the next obstacle. The box is on one of the highest shelves. I should have brought the grabby claw with me. Maybe I can use chopsticks! That's not really racist, since my parents did stick with foods from their native country. You do not know how many people I creeped out at school by eating bugs. Some guy bet that a girl couldn't eat a cricket without fainting. Sure proved him wrong. Holy crud, it's a challenge within a challenge! I have to get the cutlery drawer open! I don't think breathing on it will work. What if I lean on it? Okay, okay, that's really cold. Ah! I know! A towel! I sure hope all this moving around doesn't wake anybody up. Plus point: the wheels don't squeak. If Wolvie was here, he'd be able to hear the wheels against the floor. To the laundry room, grabbed a towel, put it under my shirt to warm it up, wheeled back to the kitchen, then began melting the ice. Y'know, I could melt all the other ice, but that would take ages. And I'd only melt a banner in the middle. Stupid leg. Maybe Beast can make me an android leg! With a grin, I retrieved the chopsticks, then went back to the other room to retrieve my chocolate. So worth the effort. Then the front door opened.
"Try not ta make too much noise, Kitty. It's...half two in th' morning."
"You're the only person in the team that's a light sleeper." Better hide, or I'll get told off for being up so late. "Why did you decide to drag me through the forest anyway? There was nothing there!" It's a good thing that Wolvie was sleepy. He probably would have heard me moving behind the couch.
"They coulda been there! You never know 'til you look! Now shut up, You'll wake 'errybody." I couldn't help but grin evilly when I heard two room doors close. Not many people could be this sneaky with a wheelchair. After I finished my chocolate, I went back to the kitchen, then attempted to thaw out a few more drawers. It took a while, and it soaked almost all the towels, but I did managed to get all the drawers open. I can't reach high enough to get to the top of the fridge. With a yawn and a stretch, I noticed that it was getting light. And last time I saw the clock it was like, 5am. Wait, what is that? Oh, no it isn't. It's October, and it's snowing! Screw this, I'm going outside!
(Rogue)
The front door slammed again. What is that, the 7th time? It's woken me up enough! A few taps on my door woke me up completely.
"Rogue? It be Gambit. You in 'dere?"
"Ya have two seconds ta move away from my door, or ahm gonna insert it in a place it shouldn't be." One...
"Just checkin' dat you were in dere."
"Keep talkin' Cajun, I wanna see this!" I was already sleeping on my front. Can't hide my head any more. With a sigh, I pushed myself up and out of bed. It'd getting too cold to sleep nude, so I had a random t-shirt and pair of shorts on. I got my hair into a somewhat neat style, then opened my door.
"Let me guess, Ya heard the door too."
"Sure did. It started at 5 this mornin'" Wolverine growled, glaring downstairs. My clock says it's 7:27 in the morning. 2 and a half hours. Remy was wearing sweatpants, and I think Logan just fell asleep in his costume. "I don't know 'bout you two, but I'm going to check it out." After he started to skulk off, I shrugged at Remy, and we both followed him.
"Snow? But it's still October!"
"'Sup, Cheré? You cold?" Remy grinned, obviously not trying to shiver.
"Not as much as you are, Remy." I grinned, following Wolverine outside.
"Jubilee? What th' hell?" It was like walking into another world. Well, a short world. Another team of X-men made out of snow, along with a mini fortress.
"Hey Wolvie!" Does this girl even sleep? She just rolled out from behind the fortress and hugged Logan as best she could. I'm not sure whose wintercoat, boots or gloves she had. "Before you ask, my leg got crushed."
"How long have you been awake, Petit?"
"Since about 2. I just randomly woke up. So I thawed half the kitchen, then came outside when it started to snow. But I got cold easily so I went inside quite a lot." That explains the door being slammed.
"Remy, Ah can see ya shiverin'." I grinned at the thief again, who was hugging himself in an attempt to keep warm. "And ya thought I'd be cold."
"Gambit is never used to th' cold." He sighed, then headed back inside. "And I'm going to go back to sleep."
"I'll just stay out here and build." Jubilee smiled, then wheeled back to where she was. I got a look from Logan.
"Alright, fine. Ahm gonna go get dressed. Then I'll join." With a thumbs up, I headed back towards the door, then spotted Storm hanging out of a window, looking very content. Better not disturb her.
Hey, I was actually speedy with this one!
