13Hi guys I'll keep it short and sweet, this is my first Fanfiction as such and well I hope you like it, would obviously like constructive critique and yeah not exactly sure where it's heading but there'll be a lot of Romy amongst other pairings ^^
Oh yeah it's set directly after the end of the cartoon!
Friendly Welcome
Just two more seconds „Alright that was a great picture everyone!" Finally "Get you're stainkin'hands awf of me swamp rat!"
"Oh come on Chere, Ah know you like it."
Not daring to reply to him out of anger and out of the hope he wouldn't see the faint blush he'd ignited, she spun round and stomped off to the Professor.
"Professor, what the hell are they doing here?" her hand jerking towards a group of ex-acolytes, with her finger more specifically directed to a certain Cajun, whose eyes were already straying over the entire female population of the campus. "Well Rogue, considering what I have seen of their behaviour before the whole Apocalypse-affair, during it and what I managed to pry from his thoughts, I thought I'd invite them along with the Brotherhood amongst old friends, to celebrate and to ask them whether they'd like to join us, especially considering the adversities that will soon stand before us." Before he was permitted to continue his explanation, Kitty who had apparently been eavesdropping, spluttered, "What like seriously Professor? I mean how are we supposed to trust them? I mean like they could seriously cause trouble"
"Unlike yourself and Kurt when you get a Prank-urge?" the professor chuckled as he saw the young girls expressions.
Argh, Ah hope this damn soirée ends soon, what's he thainkin' lettin' that lot in? Noticing the grin the admittedly handsome young man, with a notorious affinity for solitaire, flashed her, she felt her blood beginning to boil; however she couldn't ignore the slight lurch her stomach gave that he had also enticed. Feeling a suppressed smile starting to creep into her facial expressions, she marched off determined to not let him get to her. Placing herself demonstratively between Kitty and her new flirt, the huge bulk of a man, although she had to agree the Russian accent certainly had something, but still… "What happened to you and Lance hey? Here's me thainkin' you're oh so pure or 're you just letting lose?" Great Ah just had to open mah mouth She knew she shouldn't be so venomous but sometimes it just got to her, Kitty had so much and she well… just didn't. She'd never be a normal girl.
Before Kitty could reply they all heard the Professors psychic cough, "Now that I have all of your attention I would like to thank our guests who have responded to their invite and their graciousness in complying with my whim of a picture. Erik or Magneto will soon be attending in fact speaking of the devil." "Literally", someone coughed in the background, "here he is."
The man silently landed beside his old friend, We have a hard job in front of us, I mean look at them, they're so divided - We'll manage old friend, we'll talk later. The Professor continued, "Many of you must be wondering what I have planned, some expressing your doubts more vocally," his gaze upon Rogue with slight grin on his lips and then glancing over to the man responsible for her bad mood, known as Gambit, with his eyebrow lightly arched with amusement when the womaniser put his hands in the air feigning innocent surprise, "Well as some of you already know or have guessed, I've decided to extend the laurel branch to our old enemies, the Acolytes and the Brotherhood, unfortunately not many have decided to take it however they will always be welcome."
The ground grumbling beneath him prevented him from continuing to talk, the rumble growing ever louder until the accompanying spasms grew in strength almost throwing him out of his wheelchair, the x-men and ex-acolytes grew tense, Stand down people I have an idea what this is. Suddenly fire had stealthily encircled them and risen in height creating a wall of flames around them, the rumbling of the earth didn't stop.
The fire seemed to circling higher and higher threatening to become a tornado with them in its eye. Then a humungous youth strode through the burning barrier whilst another greasy gangly looking kid sprung over the other youth. Just as suddenthe flames had begun they were lifted above the large group of mutants and fell back to the ground as pink cherry- blossoms and small balls of light.
In front of the utterly confused x-men, x-disciples and ex-acolytes stood a smaller group of mutants. The silence was broken simultaneously by the ringing sound of a slap and by a thick Australian accent, "Some friendly welcome, 'ey mates?"
However his rhetorical question was completely drowned by the noise of Rogues shouting, "Get off me Gambit. NOW."
Everyone turned their heads towards the commotion, it appeared that just beside Rogue and Gambit, who was now offering a hand to help pick the girl off the ground, a massive spike of earth was sticking out of the surface. "Now Chere, I saved your life pushing you aside to the ground like that!" "Yeah right, Ah weren't no-where near that, you just wanted to exercise that twisted mind of yours!" "Hey we can switch positions next time.", whilst everyone was laughing with a few exceptions, the Professor noticed Logan heavily twitching and clenching his hands as if trying to keep back the claws.
"Oi! Gambit stop stealing the show! Tadada may I welcome the Brotherhood!"
