X-Mansion: Living Room
"Professor, why do me and Logan have to stay in here?" Rogue asked, watching Logan pace across the floor in anger.
"Well, if someone actually does attempt to break in, and does intend to cause harm, I feel much safer if I have a couple people here to protect the inside of the mansion, sort of as a last defense."
Logan arched an eyebrow, obviously not believing the Professor's statement, but before he could voice his arguments Charles held up a finger for silence. "It seems that we have a visitor already."
"Yeah, but there's no way he'll get past our defense's. I mean everyone's out there but us, there's no way he'll beat them." Rogue said, putting faith in her teammate's strengths.
"Well, under normal occasions, that statement would be very true. But let's just say I'm not a normal occasion." A voice said from the couch.
Logan turned to the couch, his claws protruding from his hands. "Well, look who decided he'd really show up. You got guts kid, I'll give you that."
"Either that or he's extremely stupid," Rogue muttered, slipping off her left glove.
Professor Xavier was about to say something but at that exact moment the rest of the X-Men busted through the doors. "Xavier, we heard that the boy got through," Storm said, her attention on Patrick, who was lounging on the couch.
Patrick smiled slightly, taking in the sight of the mutants who were getting ready to attack him.
Before anyone could make a move against the boy Kitty spoke up, making her way to the front of the crowd, "Hold on a second. Don't attack him yet, he says he has, like, a message for the Prof or something."
Everyone looked from Kitty to Patrick and then to Charles in confusion. Charles looked at Patrick expectantly, waiting for him to speak what was on his mind.
Patrick shrugged in response, glancing at the doors, "well, my information won't be any good in a few moments, because the Brotherhood will have attacked by then." This statement quickly had everyone's attention, and everyone tried speaking at once.
Professor Xavier quickly quieted everyone down before turning his attention back to Patrick, "so you are saying that the Brotherhood will be attacking us tonight?"
Patrick glanced back at the doors, "Well, Pietro was telling Mystique that he knew for a fact that someone had been sneaking into the mansion late at night, and that no one had done or said a thing about it. So he's suggested that the Brotherhood sneak in tonight, though I'm not sure what their planning when they get in, but Mystique seemed fine with the idea."
Everyone was completely silent at the information Patrick was providing them. He could tell that none of them realized how much he knew about both mutant teams.
Rogue spoke up first, surprisingly, "how do we know we can trust you? From what it looks like, you're the one who's been sneaking into the mansion every night, so you're the one that made Pietro think they would be able to sneak in."
Patrick smiled slightly, glancing over at Rogue, "you're quite right, and I wasn't quite sneaking in, cause I know the Professor knew that I was sneaking in at night." He said, glancing over at the professor.
Charles nodded slightly, "yes, I did know, though I didn't see too much of a problem with it at first. Though I did become curious as to whom it was who was sneaking in. That's why I originally planned tonight, to test both my team and to test you."
It looked as though Scott was about to speak up, a look of slight confusion on his face, but before he could say a word the glass from the window on the other side of the room scattered across the room as the window was broken with a loud crash. Before anyone could regain their composure's Pietro dashed into the room through the broken window, in his disguise as Quicksilver.
"Hey, I heard you guys were having a party without us," Quicksilver said, a small smile on his face.
"Yeah, and we felt a little left out, so we decided that we'd show up to join you," Lance "Avalanche" Alvers said, hopping through the window, "Toad here said he'd bring the sauce, just for you guys," he added as Todd Tolansky hopped through the window behind him, spitting a green goo at Kurt.
"Hey, that was not cool," Kurt said, obviously grossed out by the green goo that was now dripping from his blue fur.
Kitty just groaned quietly, "when are you guys going to learn to like, just leave us alone already?" She asked, phasing through the green goo just in time, so it hit Evan, who had been standing behind her.
"Thanks for the warning," Evan said in disgust, his eyes averted to the green goo on his uniform.
Patrick just let out a quiet sigh as he, Logan, and Rogue moved to face the Brotherhood, including Fred "Blob" Dukes, who had destroyed the window frame getting into the house.
"I really am getting tired of you guys," Rogue said, her glove still removed from when she had been ready to stop Patrick when he snuck in.
Patrick nodded his agreement, "I agree with Rogue, and I've been wondering how many times you need the X-Men to kick your butt before you finally realize that you're not going to win."
Logan glanced over at Patrick but didn't say a word, though it was obvious to anyone that he didn't seem too happy to be fighting on the same team as the boy.
Quicksilver arched an eyebrow at Patrick, a small smile on his face, "So, what exactly is a human like you going to do going up against mutants like us?"
Professor Xavier laughed quietly at Quicksilver's comment, and feigned surprise when everyone looked at him in confusion.
"What are you finding so funny, old man?" Pietro asked, obviously annoyed that the professor was laughing at him.
Charles just shrugged in response. "It was just a simple laugh, is all."
Patrick saw the opening that they needed and glanced from Rogue to Pietro. Luckily for him, Rogue seemed to understand what exactly it was he was trying to tell her.
Before the Brotherhood could figure out what had happened Rogue jumped at Pietro, shoving her bare palm into his chin, not only causing physical damage, but also draining his power at the same time with her mutant abilities.
Pietro collapsed on the floor as Rogue turned on the Brotherhood, "anyone else wanna try and take us on?" She asked, a small smile on her face.
Blob growled in anger, pushing Avalanche and Toad out of the way, turning his anger on Rogue. "I'm sick of you X-Men!" He shouted in anger, picking up the chair next to him and throwing it at Rogue.
Patrick began moving as soon as the chair was thrown. Rogue opened her eyes wide in shock and didn't even think about running out from under the chair. Patrick, on the other hand, was reacting quicker than anyone, and used Pietro's super speed to get next to Rogue before the chair hit her, and then he used Fred's super strength to catch the couch before it hit her, holding it in the air above his head.
Everyone in the room except for Professor Xavier gaped at him in shock. Even the Blob had lost his anger through the confusion of the sight in front of him. Before anyone could comment Patrick had set the chair back on the ground where the Blob had picked it up from, and then he picked up Pietro and set him down outside of the door, turning and disposing Toad and Avalanche outside the door before dropping the Blob outside of the hole in the wall where the window had been, all within the blink of an eye. "Now then, I suggest you all run along back to Mystique before you are given a real surprise." He suggested, waving to the gate.
The X-Men appeared behind Patrick and watched in shock as the Brotherhood left through the gate in confusion, Avalanche carrying Quicksilver out with them.
Patrick smiled slightly as he turned back to the X-Men, though it was one that was sheepish more than anything. "So, you guys believe me now?"
