Okay! Lookin' good! And here is the second chapter of "New Recruits Deaged!"
Disclaimer: I don't be owning nutin'. (Sadly)
Fury was getting a tiny bit nervous. You see, a minute ago, the young children discovered that they had powers. And, so, chaos ensued.
Bobby began giggling and freezing anything he could reach. Jubilee was shrieking with happiness as she threw mini fireworks into the air. Roberto was standing directly in front of the window, soaking in the rays. Suddenly, he changed into his pure black form, which triggered an immediate cool! from the pint-sized solar panel. Tabby was entertaining Jamie by opening her palms, revealing a couple of her shiny kinetic energy balls, and then closing them, extinguishing their light. With a sudden yelp, Rahne found herself morphing into a wolf cub, promptly plopping right down on her rump in surprise. Ray laughed as he ran around, short circuiting very expensive SHIELD technology. Sam gave a squawk of surprise as he found himself uncontrollably 'cannonballing' around the room, smashing into the furniture. Amara was the calmest one, quietly sitting in the corner, flaming on and off at random intervals.
Finally, finally, the X-Jet came zooming into sight, with Kitty, Kurt, Cyclops, Jean, and Logan on board. When they finally landed, came into the room with the X-Children, and saw what havoc they had wreaked, they all just stood there, gawking.
Half an hour, a whole bunch of cookies (don't ask), and about a million questions later, all of the children were strapped into the X-Jet as they all headed back to the institute.
Professor Xavier frowned as Hank inspected the children. Hank looked up. "Seems that no bodily harm is present." He shrugged. "You should tell them what happened and why they are here. You know what, you do that, and I'll go get a snack." And without further ado, Hank abandoned Charles.
He sighed. "Come here, children." He said quietly. All the children looked up, and scrambled over to him. "Who're you?" Bobby asked, scrunching his face up. He sighed again. "I am Professor Xavier, and you have been deaged," he said gently. Jubilee raised her hand. "Yes?" "What does 'deaged' mean?" "It means that you have been reduced to children when you should be teenagers." He let that sink in. "If you want to play, ask the big, blue, furry guy what to do. His name is Mr. McCoy. You can also talk to anybody else in this mansion."
He rolled towards the door, just as Hank came walking, (or knuckling) into the room with a cup of coffee. They nodded at each other, and Charles left the room. "So, what would you guys like to do?"
Five tubs of popcorn, six cut-up apples, an uncountable amount of juice boxes, ten board games and seven movies later, the kids finally fell asleep. Most of the senior X-men went to bed, but a few, Kitty, Ororo and Hank, stayed up a bit longer to make sure the kids were okay.
"Awwwwwww," Kitty murmured at the sight: Rahne was sprawled out in wolf form, half on Roberto's lap, and half curled around him. Many of the team members were either using her as a pillow, or clinging to her like a teddy bear. Ray, ever the loner, was lying contentedly on the other side of the couch with a throw-pillow pulled over his head.
Kitty grinned as she pulled out her camera. "Blackmail!" She whispered. Ororo shook her head in amusement as Hank looked on with a smile. Kitty smirked as she quickly snapped a few photos. The all three, with one last look at the children, turned off the light and closed the door.
