Sabretooth approached the gates that led to Bayville's water tower. The beastly man thought that he could use that to look over the town and try to find any trace of Wolverine.
Tearing through the gates, he climbed the ladder to the top of the water tower. He would have his victory over Logan.
While this was going on, the bell at Bayville High rang, signaling that class was over. As the students in class were leaving, Evan was looking over the grade he got on the report he turned in for his social science class.
"Man, Professor Xavier's gonna ground me for the rest of my life." Evan said as he stared at the big D that was written with a red pen.
Danny rolled his eyes. Evan was assigned to write about the Star Wars Program, but Evan thought he was writing about the movies. He tried to warn Evan that it was something different, but the boy thought Danny was pulling his leg. "Well, what did you expect? I told you the Star Wars project wasn't about the movies. This isn't film class, Evan."
"Can you blame me?" Evan defended himself. "It said Star Wars. What else was I supposed to think it was?"
"Mr. Daniels, could we talk for a moment, please?" Mr. Vandermeir asked as he was writing on the chalkboard.
Danny patted him on the back. "Well, you're fucked. See ya later, buddy." He turned to leave when Mr. Vandermeir called his name.
"Actually, Mr. Fenton, I'll need you as well." The teacher told him.
The hybrid sighed. He knew this wasn't going to be good. "Shit." He muttered under his breath.
"Now, admittedly, I asked for a report on the Star Wars program." Vandermeir told Evan as the two boys walked over to him. "However, I wasn't talking about the movie."
"Told ya." Danny said.
"But I like movies." Evan protested.
"Which is fine, but I was expecting a report on the national space defense system." Vandermeir pointed out.
"Yeah, I sort of figured that out by my grade." Evan replied sheepishly.
"Hey, you got a D, so you must have impressed him enough that he didn't fail you completely." Danny pointed out.
"He did do a good job of the plot summaries, I'll admit." Vandermeir revealed.
"Hey, look, man, is there anything I can do to make this up?" Evan asked. "Extra credit? Anything?"
Danny rubbed his eyes in irritation. "Why did you have to say anything?"
The teacher hummed in thought. "Perhaps there is something." He opened one of the drawers on his desk and pulled out a digital camera.
"Whoa! A digi-cam! How cool is that?" Evan exclaimed in awe.
"Someone's easy to impress." Danny added snidely.
"You know, Evan, current events can mean a lot of things, including things that are important to people your age." Vandermeir told him, not knowing that Evan was only paying attention to the camera. "They don't have to be huge; just have to mean a lot to you. How would you like to do a film report on that?" He held out the camera to the boy.
"You mean it?" Evan asked.
"You got it." He handed Evan the camera. "Here." He then turned his attention to Danny. "And Mr. Fenton, I would like you to help him."
"Why?" Danny asked. "I think he can work that camera by himself."
"Yes, but after seeing his Star Wars report, I feel better if you were there helping him." Vandermeir said. "It would give you extra credit as well." He offered.
Danny shook his head. "I don't care about any extra credit."
Vandermeir sighed as he thought of something else to bribe him with. "Well, how about the next time you sleep in my class, I'll look the other way?"
Danny smiled. "It's a deal."
"Project is due at the end of the week." Vandermeir told them. "I suggest you get started."
"Hey, we're on it." Evan said. "And thanks for the second chance, Mr. V."
The two left the classroom as Evan was looking over the camera. "Cool! Instant rewind, digital zoom." He went to an open window and aimed the camera out as he looked through it, looking over all of Bayville. "Hey, I can even see the institute through this thing." He zoomed in on the building as he saw Logan pulling up on his bike. "Hello, Logan."
"Really?" Danny asked in interest. "Let me see." He took the camera and tried it out, and he also saw the institute. "Wow, this camera can actually see pretty far." He then examined the device in his hands. "It always amazes me what technology can do."
"Evan!" Kurt's hand grabbed Evan from the window as the two boys saw that their friend was hanging onto the edge of it.
"Man, don't scare me like that." Evan said as he looked at his forearm, where spikes extended out in fear. "I almost toothpicked you." He retracted the spikes while making sure that nobody saw them. Luckily for him, he was in the clear.
"Why are you hanging out of the school window, Kurt?" Danny asked.
"Image inducer's on the fritz." Kurt explained. "I gotta get back to the institute before someone sees me. And that means missing our shop class."
"No prob. I'll catch it on tape for you." Evan replied.
"I doubt Mr. Lee would let you videotape him." Danny pointed out before he thought it over. "Then again, he is pretty chill."
"Cool! Then I'm out of here." Kurt teleported out, not knowing that the three boys were being watched by Sabretooth through a pair of binoculars.
Knowing he had a lead on Logan's whereabouts, the mutant jumped off the Water Tower to confront those runts.
"And action." Evan said as he pointed the camera at the end of the hallway where Kitty and Rogue were coming from. Before Evan could get something juicy on camera, Danny snatched it away.
"Evan, we're not filming people without their permission." Danny scolded. "And why do you want to film Kitty and Rogue?"
"They argue all the time." Evan explained. "It's a lot of drama."
Danny sighed. He couldn't argue with that. For the past few weeks, Kitty and Rogue seemed to find any excuse to start bickering with each other. Whether it was over who scratched Rogue's new CD or who drank the last soda, the two would take any opportunity to scream at each other.
"I'll give you that, but I don't think they would appreciate you filming them yelling at each other." Danny told him, knowing how pissed the two girls would be at Evan.
While the two boys were talking, Rogue and Kitty were predictably arguing.
"I didn't swipe your stupid novel." Rogue said.
"Oh, right." Kitty scoffed. "Like, I suppose it just got into your gym locker by accident?"
"You loaned it to Kurt, and he loaned it to me!" Rogue informed her. "I was gonna give it back."
"Oh, right." Kitty said, not believing Rogue's story. "Like-" Before she could continue, she bumped into a guy at the locker, making him drop his posters while Kitty dropped her books. "Oh, sorry." Kitty apologized. "Could I be any klutzier?"
"No problem." The boy said. "Let me help."
The two were picking up Kitty's books as Kitty tried to apologize further for not looking where she was going. "Hey, I feel like such a dork. I mean, I should look where I'm going."
Evan and Danny noticed that Kitty and Rogue were talking to the boy, prompting Evan to swipe the camera from Danny.
He pointed it at the three. "And enter the love interest."
"No, Evan." Danny said, glaring at the boy, making Evan lower the camera.
"Sorry." Evan apologized before looking over at the two girls. He noticed that Rogue was making looks of disgust at Kitty as she was trying to talk to the cute boy. "Man, they seem to get under each other's skin."
"Yeah." Danny agreed. "They've been arguing nonstop these past couple of weeks. It's worse when Rogue tries to drag me into it, expecting me to side with her because I'm her boyfriend, and Kitty expecting me to side with her because I'm her friend."
Evan shivered, happy that he wasn't in Danny's position. "Glad that's not me."
"Here you go." The boy, who introduced himself as Jason, handed Kitty one of her books.
"Thank you, Jason." Kitty said, getting awestruck at looking at the handsome boy.
Rogue groaned, wishing she didn't have to watch this. "Thank you, Jason." She mimicked Kitty's voice.
"It's Kitty, right?" Jason asked.
Kitty blushed. "Yeah, Kitty. That's right. Yeah. Hi." She then slapped herself mentally, as she had already said that. "Oh, I already said that. What you doing?" She asked, seeing that the boy had several posters in his hand.
"I am definitely gonna be ill." Rogue said in disgust.
"Hanging posters." Jason replied, showing a poster for the play Dracula the Rock Opera. "Auditions for the play are tomorrow. You gonna try out, right? We need girls who can sing and dance."
"So, like, what part do you play?" Kitty asked.
"Oh, well, I'm gonna be auditioning for the male lead." He revealed.
"You're gonna be auditioning for Dracula?" Kitty asked, impressed. "Cool. Well, then, duh. I mean, yeah, sure. Of course I'm gonna try out."
"Great. Well, then I'll see you tomorrow." Jason said before leaving.
"Just when I thought you could not possibly get more pathetic." Rogue insulted.
"At least I've got a hope of getting cast, unlike you." Kitty retorted.
"Think about it. I was made for this play." Rogue gestured to her goth attire.
"Yeah, well, I can't see you next to that guy as he plays Dracula." Kitty countered.
Rogue scoffed. "Please, my boyfriend would make a better Dracula than dull Jason could ever be." She then looked over and noticed Danny. "In fact." Her thought process was interrupted as she spotted Evan and the camera he was holding. "Hey! What are you playing at, porcupine?"
"It's cool." Evan said as he and Danny walked up to them. "I'm just doing an assignment for Vandermeir's class."
"I better not see my face on that tape, or they're gonna be calling you Spyke-less." Rogue threatened.
"I told you they wouldn't like it." Danny mumbled to Evan.
"Yeah. Hey, look, don't worry about it." Evan said to Rogue and Kitty. "So are you guys gonna audition for this?" He pointed to the poster.
"Well, I am." Kitty said.
"Yeah, me too." Rogue smirked at her rival before looking at Danny. "And you should audition as well, Danny. You'd make an excellent Dracula."
"Yeah, no." Danny refused. "I don't do vampires."
"What, have you ever fought one?" Rogue asked, remembering that he once mentioned to her that he used to be a superhero that fought ghosts.
Danny's demeanor changed as he thought over one particular enemy. "I fought the closest thing to a vampire, and let's just say I don't want to be reminded of that fruit loop ever again."
All three of his friends were curious, but they knew that Danny wouldn't elaborate any further. He was very secretive about his past.
"Oh, come on." Rogue pleaded as she put her hands on Danny's arms. "Please?"
Danny sighed as he looked at Rogue's face. He knew he could never say no to that face, so, against his better judgment, he agreed. "Fine."
Rogue smiled at her victory before kissing him on the lips as she left with Kitty.
Evan shook his head in amazement at how expertly Rogue bent his friend to her will. "Wow, she really has you wrapped around her finger."
"Just shut up and start filming." Danny said as he gave Evan an irritated look.
The phantasm was sighing in boredom as he held the camera up, recording Evan as he tried another trick on his skateboard. The two were at the skatepark, where Evan decided to show off his moves to the camera.
"Okay, we've been filming you doing shit on your skateboard for thirty minutes. Can we do something else?" Danny asked. "It's getting boring."
"Skateboarding, boring?" Evan couldn't believe that Danny would link those two words together. "Dude, you really need to lighten up." He then prepared for another cool trick. "And now what it means to be a truly thrashing street skater." He performed another spectacular move, making Danny groan.
"Alright, done." Danny put the camera down. "Can we get something to eat? I'm hungry."
"Yeah, sure." Evan said as they left.
The two were now in a cafe, eating, as Danny was looking over the footage they got.
"So, you think we're good?" Evan asked as he took a bite out of his sandwich.
Danny shrugged. "I guess. I mean, he did say film what's important to you, and skateboarding is important to you. But I feel like he would want some variety."
Evan nodded. "Yeah, I can see that."
Danny chuckled as he kept rewinding the footage. "Man, looking at this, I feel like I'm watching the Blair Witch Project."
"The Blair what?" Evan asked, not knowing what Danny was talking about.
"Oh, it's this movie about these three teenagers who do an assignment about this Blair Witch." Danny told him, having seen the movie a couple of weeks ago when Rogue showed it to him. "They film themselves in the woods as they're driven to insanity."
"Man, that would be cool to film something like that on camera." Evan said before he got an idea. "Hey, wait, we can."
"What do you mean?" Danny asked, knowing that he wasn't going to like what he was going to hear.
"We can film ourselves trying to catch ghosts." Evan said.
"What?" Danny asked dumbly.
"Yeah, remember the old Hutchkins house that's abandoned?" Evan said. "We can catch some ghosts there." He then grabbed the camera and ran out of the cafe.
"Evan, wait!" Danny said as he chased him down. He tried to talk Evan out of the idea, but Evan refused to listen, and so Danny found himself filming Evan as they were in one of the bedrooms of the Hutchkins house.
"Evan, this is stupid." Danny told him. "This place isn't haunted at all."
"How do you know?" Evan asked, getting annoyed with Danny shooting down his ideas.
"My ghost sense isn't going off." Danny said. "This place is just run down."
"Ghost sense?" Evan asked.
"It lets me know when there's a ghost nearby." Danny explained.
"Oh, that's cool." Evan said before he took in what Danny said about it not going off. "So it didn't go off."
"No." Danny said bluntly.
"Well, maybe it's just wrong; I don't know." Evan said as he started pacing around the room.
"This is pointless; I'm going to go to the bathroom." Danny gave the camera to Evan and left the room. "If it even still works here."
"Whatever." Evan said. "I'll find something to film." He pressed the record button. "Evan Daniels here in the abandoned Hutchkins house, where legend says that Jefferey Hutchkins' ghost still haunts to this day." He moved over to the door and closed it. "I'm going to attempt to communicate. Can you knock on this door here?" He asked the supposed "ghost" of this house.
Much to Evan's delight, there was a slight knock on the door.
"Holy shit, it's happening!" Evan cried in excitement. "Can you open the door?"
The door opened, slamming into Evan and knocking him down as Sabretooth stepped into the room. Seeing that the kid was distracted, he took the camera and looked through the footage. He smiled when he came across the shot of Logan in front of the gates to the institute. He placed the camera on the floor before leaving the room.
"Change of plans; the bathroom is wrecked." Danny said as he walked into the room, only to find Evan on the ground. "Evan, what happened?"
"I don't remember." Evan rubbed his head as he grabbed the camera. "Let's just get out of here. This was a dumb idea anyway."
"Hey, we'll find something else to film." Danny assured him as the two left.
While walking home, they came across Toad.
"What's up, Daniels?" Toad greeted.
"What do you want, Tolansky?" Evan asked, not wanting to put up with Toad.
"We're kinda busy right now." Danny said, echoing Evan's sentiments.
"I heard about your movie. Check me out." The amphibian-looking boy started doing some dance moves. "Style, charisma—the Toad's got it all, yo. So start shooting already."
"Piss off, Tolansky." Danny said as he and Evan walked past him.
"Yeah, I got too much respect for my craft." Evan said, making Danny chuckle.
"Nice one, Evan." Danny said. "I'm sure that if we showed that footage to Vandermeir, he would've failed us on the spot." He joked, making Evan laugh.
Unknown to them, Sabretooth was watching them from the top of a building, licking his teeth as he looked at the two.
Evan's alarm blared as the young man woke up. Groaning at his sleep being interrupted, he pressed the snooze button a couple of times, to no use. It wasn't until he smashed the button with his fist that it finally stopped.
Sitting up, he let out a yawn as he stretched, accidentally letting out two spikes. One impaled his mirror, while the other shattered his lamp.
"Oh, man. Not again." Evan bemoaned.
His bedroom door opened as Storm came in to wake up her nephew. "Up and at them, little man. Breakfast in ten. And what's this?" She gestured to his camera, which was sitting on the dresser.
"It's a school project." Evan answered. "I'm recording current events from the Evan Daniels perspective."
"I don't mind the Evan Daniels perspective. But I don't think a Spyke-eye view is such a good idea." She pulled out the spike that destroyed his lamp.
"Yeah, I see what you mean." Evan said.
"I think you better let us take a look at your film before you turn it in." Storm said. "Understand?"
"Yeah. Sure, Auntie O." Evan accepted.
Later on in the day, Evan was trying to find more stuff to film when he noticed Jean was in the bathroom, deciding whether to put on her new sweater.
"Maybe the red." She said to herself before taking back that decision. "No. Maybe the..." She stopped as she noticed the camera peeking in through the open door. "Hey! What are you doing? Hey, get that camera out of my face now!" She used her telekinesis to close the door on Evan, knocking him into the wall.
"Hey, touchy-touchy!" Evan said. "Wasn't that interesting anyway. Let's see if I can find some real action around here."
While Evan was going to look for other things to include in his project, Wolverine was outside with Danny and Cyclops, preparing for a training exercise.
Wolverine was at a small computer console, issuing the commands. "Field Battle Training Sim 7, activate."
Several small turret-like cannons appeared out of the ground as the three X-Men got into running stances before taking off as they ran through the path while dodging the electrified cannonballs that the cannons were shooting.
Cyclops and Danny were firing at the projectiles, while Wolverine was clawing through them. As they were halfway through the exercise, a net was launched at Wolverine.
"Watch your back!" Cyclops warned him as Wolverine turned around just in time to claw through the net. Proceeding down the path, the trio didn't spot Evan coming up to them riding on his skateboard while filming it all.
As Cyclops was firing at the projectiles, one came at his legs, tying them up as he fell to the ground.
"Now that's reality TV." Evan said as he filmed Cyclops while passing by him.
Danny was firing at some spiked balls that were being shot when he saw Evan pass by him.
His mouth dropped in astonishment at what Evan was doing. "Are you serious, man?"
"Whoa, awesome!" Evan filmed Wolverine clawing at some more projectiles. The senior X-Man noticed Evan coming towards him as he also saw the turrets in front of him were preparing to shoot buzzsaws.
Realizing Evan was in danger, he leaped over to Evan. "No! Look out!" He pushed Evan aside as he held up his claws, which the buzzsaws bounced off of, with one impaling the side of the school, the other decapitating a statue, and the final one cutting down a tree branch before leaving the institute perimeters.
Toad was walking by, eating some ice cream, when the buzzsaw passed through it before getting stuck in the ground. The mutant screamed in fear as he ran away with ice cream all over his face.
Back at the institute, Wolverine was scolding Evan for his stupidity. "What do you think you're doing here, bub? Those things could've taken your empty head right off."
"Evan, why are you even filming this?" Danny asked as he and Cyclops came up to them. "You know you can't show this to Mr. Vandermeir."
"I don't know." Evan stuttered. "I just-" He was cut off when Wolverine swiped his camera.
"Hey! Give it back!" Evan tried to reach for it, but Wolverine kept it out of his reach. Wolverine then pressed a button on it, deleting the footage that Evan had just filmed.
"Oh, man!" Evan whined. "Why'd you do that?"
"Let's just say you got on my bad side." Wolverine left it at that. "Now what else you got on this machine?" He scrolled through it until he came across the footage of Jean in the bathroom.
"Evan!" Danny scolded.
Wolverine growled at Evan. "Bub, why'd you film Jean in the bathroom?"
"I don't know." Evan replied. "I just-" Wolverine cut him off again.
"Shut it!" Wolverine continued looking through the footage. "Anything else on here that shouldn't be here?"
The next thing the camera showed was a naked man currently thrusting into an equally naked woman.
"Oh, harder! Harder!" The woman cried in lust.
All four of them were shocked at what they just found.
"Bub!" Wolverine screamed at Evan.
"I swear I didn't film that!" Evan said as he held his hands up.
"Then how did that end up on the camera?" Wolverine interrogated.
"How did it get there, Evan?" Danny asked.
"I don't know!" Evan replied. "I got the tape from..." He stopped as he and Danny looked at each other in realization.
"Vandermeir." The two said in unison, making Wolverine shake his head in disgust.
"Well, it looks like the prof is going to have to make a call to the school later." Wolverine said before looking at the camera again. "Dare I ask what else is on here?"
The camera then showed a smirking Sabretooth.
"Thanks for showing me where Logan is, kid." The recording said. "I owe you one. Also, thanks for the porn."
"Who the heck was that?" Evan asked.
"Sabretooth." Wolverine gave the camera back to Evan as he walked off.
"He's got old issues with Wolverine." Cyclops told him. "And it looks like you clued him in to our location."
The alarms went off as Wolverine turned to look back at them.
"You think?" He said sarcastically before pulling out his claws as he saw Sabretooth ripping the gates open with his bare hands.
The defense system went off with turrets appearing and firing lasers at Sabretooth, but the mutant was too fast.
Inside the institute, Xavier was at Cerebro looking over the security footage of Sabretooth, feeling worried that his students were in danger now that this maniac was here. He then went off to alert the other X-Men as Sabretooth continued to avoid the defenses.
The hairy mutant managed to claw apart one of the turrets as he confronted Wolverine, Evan, Cyclops, and Danny.
"Not bad, Logan." Sabretooth said to his longtime rival. "But not good enough!"
'Logan, I thought you had prevented Sabretooth from following you here.' Xavier said telepathically to Logan.
"I did last time, Charles, but this time, he had help." Wolverine pointed at Evan.
'What help?' Xavier asked. 'I can't see you remember.'
"Oh, sorry, it was the porcupine who screwed up." Wolverine elaborated.
"It's all my fault!" Evan cried in guilt. "What have I done?"
Storm, Jean, Rogue, Shadowcat, and Nightcrawler came out the doors and joined the rest of the X-Men.
"He's mine!" Wolverine snarled as the two began to fight.
"No!" Storm shouted. "This is not the place for your private war!" She summoned a lightning bolt, which struck Sabretooth right in the chest, making him cry out in pain. He tried to attack Logan again, but the wind Storm was blowing at him slowed down his movements. Still, he tried to move forward until Danny shot an ectoblast at him, knocking him back.
The feral mutant looked down at his chest, where Danny shot him, and was surprised by the burned flesh that was left behind. That runt was really powerful. Knowing that this battle was lost, he gave one last promise to Wolverine.
"This isn't over, Logan!" He then fled past the institute gates, with Wolverine giving chase.
"Wolverine, no!" Storm called out to him, but he ignored her as he tried to pursue Sabretooth. He passed through the forest before coming across a set of footprints that led to a river. He tried to sniff his scent, but it was long gone. He growled in frustration.
"He'll be back, you know." Wolverine said to the professor as they talked in his office.
"Well, he won't come here again." Xavier replied. "He knows the automated defenses will detect him."
"That's the problem." Wolverine told him. "He'll want to get me away from here; get me alone. And to do that, he's gonna need-"
"A hostage?" Xavier asked.
"Got it in one." Wolverine replied.
"This means all the students are in danger." Xavier said.
As the two talked, they were being overheard by Evan and Danny.
"Yeah, and I gotta do something about it." Wolverine said. "Also, I need to talk to you about one of the teachers at the students' school."
The two students left as they thought about what to do next.
"Great, now we have Sabretooth waiting outside the perimeter to nab us as a hostage." Danny said.
"If only there was some way of fixing this, this mess." Evan said as he tried to think of a way to solve the problem he caused.
"There is." Danny said. "We got to get rid of Sabretooth."
Evan nodded. "Yeah. But we're gonna need some bait to lure him out." As he tried to think of a way to lure him out, the two heard Kitty and Rogue arguing in the distance.
"I've gotta practice for the audition, and you're hogging the soundtrack." Rogue complained as they walked the hall.
"Hey, I bought it!" Kitty shot back. "Get your own."
Getting an idea, Evan went to greet them.
"Ladies, ladies, maybe we can help each other out here."
"What do you want?" The two yelled at him.
Evan regained his composure. "Look, you two think you can stop arguing long enough-"
"Or forever?" Danny added.
"To help me do something important?" Evan finished.
"Like what?" Rogue asked.
"I'll explain on the way." Evan said. "But just to warn you first, we might have to do a bit of improvising."
Sabretooth was waiting in the bushes outside the institute when he saw Rogue riding Danny's moped with Kitty behind her and Evan hanging onto the back while riding his skateboard. He failed to notice Danny, as he was flying beside them while invisible. Despite this, Sabretooth grinned at his sudden luck.
"Three piggies all alone. Logan, you're making this too easy."
While Sabretooth went to follow them, Logan was in the institute making sure everyone was safe when he came across Scott twirling his car keys.
"Just heading out for a burger." Scott said.
"No, you ain't, bub." Wolverine told him. "Until I nail that hairball, none of you are to leave the premises."
"Aw, man!" Scott whined.
"Don't even start!" Wolverine replied. "Now, where are the others?"
"Kurt and Jean are upstairs, but I think Rogue and Kitty took off with Evan and Danny." Scott answered, making Wolverine unsheathe his claws. "I'll come with you."
"No." Wolverine refused. "You stay put and look after the others."
While Wolverine was looking for them, the four were in the forest, with Evan filming Kitty and Rogue as they danced.
"Come on, Rogue." Evan complained, not happy with Rogue's dancing. "Get with the program. Shake that thing!"
Rogue glared at Evan for telling her to "shake that thing." She then turned to her boyfriend. "Danny."
Danny nodded as he smacked Evan on the head.
"Ow!" Evan cried.
"Don't talk to my girlfriend like that." Danny said.
"Sorry." Evan apologized. "I mean, Rogue, could you do something better?"
Danny sighed. "Evan, what's the point of this? And why did you bring the damn camera?"
"Hey, I like this thing." Evan defended. "Maybe if the skateboarding thing doesn't work out, I can become a filmmaker."
"Yeah, you can film Blair Witch 3." Danny said sarcastically.
"You really think so?" Evan asked, not catching his sarcasm.
"No!" Danny yelled. "Now put that thing away. It's caused us enough trouble."
"Oh, come on, please?" Evan begged. "It's part of the plan. Sabretooth will think we're just filming, then he'll attack, while you, being invisible, take him down."
"Fine." Danny sighed as he turned invisible.
"Awesome." Evan said as he went back to filming. "Now, Rogue, bring some better moves to the table."
"Hey, she's got her moves. I've got mine." Rogue said.
"Yeah, girl. You gotta go with it." Kitty said as she continued dancing. "You're like a walking zombie or something."
Evan then got an idea. "Hey, listen, Rogue, how about you shed them gloves and give K-girl a tap?"
"What?" Kitty said. "No way!"
"Evan, why're you trying to put Kitty in the hospital?" Danny asked while still staying invisible.
"Listen to me." Evan said to them. "Just enough to rip Kitty's moves."
Rogue considered it. "It might work. Just concentrate on them."
"Okay." Kitty relented. "But you better not like lay me out."
Rogue took off one of her gloves as the two girls hesitantly placed their index fingers together before pulling away instantly.
"Whoa!" Kitty said at the experience.
"And that was, like, pretty icksome." Rogue said in a valley girl accent before realizing her speech had changed. "Am I talking like her?"
"Yep, but it could be worse." Danny said. "You could want to dress up in pink like her."
"Oh, god, please no." Rogue said as she shivered at the idea.
"Hey!" Kitty protested.
"Okay." Evan said, getting things back on track. "Let's get on with it. Action!"
Kitty pressed a button on the boombox, making music play as the two girls danced.
Danny blushed at the way Rogue was dancing. "Okay, I'm on board with what you're doing." He whispered to Evan. He then noticed Sabretooth in the distance. The hybrid smirked as he flew up to Sabretooth and punched him, knocking him into a tree.
Danny turned visible. "Look at that. I think I caught myself a sasquatch."
Sabretooth groaned, still having some consciousness left, before Rogue touched his face with her bare hand, knocking him out.
Unfortunately, absorbing Sabretooth caused her hair to lengthen and her nails to turn into claws as fur grew over her arms and legs, much to her dismay.
"Aw! And I just shaved my legs last night!"
"Looks like you'll have to shave them again, this time with a weedwhacker." Danny joked, getting a glare from his girlfriend.
"Nice." Wolverine said in approval as he found them. "The finishing touch." He turned to Evan. "You planned this, didn't you, porcupine?"
"A little bit, yeah." Evan admitted.
"Well, don't do it again!" Wolverine shouted. "You could've been all killed."
"Oh, please." Danny scoffed as he kicked the downed Sabretooth. "This hairball is nothing."
"Don't sass me, bub." Wolverine replied before looking at Kitty's pleading look. "And don't give me them puppy-dog eyes, half-pint. You're grounded. And so are the rest of you!" He picked up Sabretooth and threw him over his shoulder.
"Oh, that's bullshit!" Danny cried.
"For how long?" Evan asked.
Wolverine sighed. "I don't know. Until she-wolf there gets a haircut anyway. Now let's go."
Evan and Kitty went to follow Wolverine, while Danny stayed behind with Rogue.
Rogue looked down, not wanting Danny to see her like this. "I must look hideous."
Danny rubbed the back of his neck. "Actually, you look pretty hot."
Rogue gave him a look of astonishment. "Really?"
"Yeah." Danny admitted shyly before Rogue giggled and took his hand as the two went to catch up with the others.
"So, Logan, whatcha gonna do with Sabretooth?" Danny asked as they headed back to the institute.
"Yeah. Scott said you two have been duking it out for years." Evan added.
"He and I got unfinished business." Wolverine said, not giving a clear answer.
"So, what's gonna happen to him?" Rogue asked.
Wolverine smirked. "Oh, he'll get a little cooling-off period."
In the arctic, Sabretooth was thrown out of the Blackbird, making him fall into the snow. Xavier was at the ramp watching him, as he had just erased his memory of the institute's location.
"Where am I?" Sabretooth mumbled. "Cannot remember."
The Blackbird then took off.
"Man, this sucks." Evan said as he sat down in the theater next to Logan. Tonight was the premiere of the school play. Both Rogue and Kitty nailed the auditions, along with Danny, much to his disappointment.
"I did all that filming for nothing." Evan complained. And he was right. After finding the pornography on the camera, Xavier filed a complaint with the school, resulting in the firing of Vandermeir and making all the work Evan did pointless.
"Just shut up and watch the play, bub." Logan said as he sat next to Evan.
As the play ended, the audience clapped, with Danny, Kitty, and Rogue taking a bow. Although Danny wasn't excited about being in this play, he got to admit that there was one good thing that came out of it.
Rogue looked really pretty in her costume.
That was good enough for him.
