Stranger than Fiction

"I have my reasons for helping you. Yes, He may have nearly Killed Todd But that is a small matter compared to what my father has done to me. I want to bring him down in a tower of flames and I realize now I can't do that without your help." Wanda said as she leaned back in the chair and crossed her legs

Since Wanda had come to stay with Xavier she had been putting up with the strange glances and the thick air of tension from everyone around her. It didn't bother her that much since she was used to much worse but the fact no one had said anything about her being there yet was a little unsettling. She half expected every time she woke up to wake up in the middle of no where with all her stuff thrown around her. She had just returned from Checking on Todd when Jubilee finally asked why she was helping them.


"So like does that mean your going to join the X-Men like Matthew did."Kitty asked.

Kitty had been dragged by Jubilee into this impromptu interrogation while trying to sneak into Kurt's room. Loving the prospect of having some juicy info to gossip about with Everyone she didn't put up much of a fight to be part of this little sit down.


"No far from it. I simply cannot find him on my own. He may have trusted my brother and Remy enough to know where he is but the rest of us he kept in the dark. He must have known sooner or later I would find out what he did and come for him." The young witch answered.

"So.. like what are you going to do when Matthew gets back from the Hospital?" Kitty asked.

"I haven't thought that far ahead really. I'm not going to kill him if that is what you are thinking. Who is he anyway? I tried to use my powers on him but they wouldn't work .......Blob had the same problem." Wanda said


"We don't know really. The professor just said he had an accident and he just kind of popped up in front of the mansion around ten days or so ago. He has been hanging all over Rogue ever since. I thought he was some weird stalker guy so did Rogue but she seems to really like him now for some weird reason. I would be pissed myself. He won't even let her fight and Rogue is pretty damn powerful when she needs to be." Jubilee said before blowing a massive bubble with her bubblegum.

*There that sounded good enough. I am not going to tell her every damn thing. I still don't trust her..But I don't want her trying to kick my ass either. * Jubilee thought as she told Wanda her little lie.

"He knows what she can do Jubes. He just doesn't like want to chance her slipping up right now since ole bucket head is like so hell bent on getting her for whatever reason. I mean She may be powerful but she is easy to take down if you just don't let her touch you. he knows that and so does everyone else. That's why he wouldn't let her fight Sabertooth on her own. Besides I remember what happen last time she drained that guy. She back up the plumbing in the whole damn place shaving off all that fur ugh" Kitty said with a sick look on her face

"Eww ! She got Fur? That is just fucking sick Kitty!" Jubilee said a little to loudly.


"That's not the worst part she had like big claws and fangs and stuff. She was all nasty for hours. She looked like the wolfman.......wolflady"Kitty said

"Look if you two airheads are finished talking to me could you please leave me the hell alone. I don't fell like hearing your damn stories right now. I have more important things to do than have a girl talk."Wanda said sounding a little annoyed


"Fine like WHATEVER! You stay here and be all brooding and alone then. Me and Jubes are going swimming. I want to try on my new two piece anyway." Kitty said as she got up and left the room. Leaving Wanda and Jubilee alone


"I am going to sound stupid but why don't you come with us Wanda. I am sure someone has something you can wear. You been here almost three days. The least you can do is TRY to be friendly. I mean come on the Professor is letting you stay here and the rest of us haven't tried to throw you out so come lets do some female bonding by the pool! The guys are out there already. Lets go so we can all drool over em." Jubilee said with a big smile.

"Fuck off! I don't want to be friends, I don't want to go swimming and I sure as hell don't want to bond with you bunch of stuck up losers!" Wanda snapped at Jubilee.

Jubilee to her credit just kept smiling then said.

"OK I will see you out there in 20 minutes bye!" Jubilee as she jumped up and ran out of the room

"Stupid bitch.......I don't know how to swim anyway" Wanda said to herself.


"I could Have one of the students here show you if you wish." The Professor said as he entered the room

"No! I said I don't want to go swimming! I am not here for fun Charles I am here to find my father and make him pay for what he has done to me! Why the hell are all of you being so fucking friendly what do you want?! I am not joining the X-Men so just leave me the fuck alone!" Wanda shouted.

"Wanda I ask that you refrain from such language while here. This is a school after all. Also we do not want anything in the way you may think. The students here are just trying to be nice to you. I ask that you please at least try and return the favor while you are here. The last thing we need at the moment is infighting between you and the other children." The Professor said in the calmest voice he could muster at the moment.


"I am not a child Charles!" Wanda yelled.

The Professor answered sounding a little more angry.

"Then stop acting like one and show me and the rest of us some respect. Now I am ordering you as the Leader of this household to go find a swimsuit and go outside with the other students. Sit by yourself if you want but just go. You need some time to relax after all you have been through and now is as good a time as any. I will take no argument either now Go. If you refuse I will have Logan escort you from the grounds. Do you understand?" Xavier said with a raised brow and stern expression

* I hate to threaten her but at the moment that is all she can understand. I hope this works. The students are willing to be friends with her if she just lets them. Hopefully this will speed up the process* Xavier thought to himself.


"Fine Charles I will go. But I am not swimming! And If anyone says anything rude I am coming right back in." Wanda thought to herself.

* Damn old fool is trying to get me to be all goody goody with these punks....well I am a little bored it can't hurt.......Shit who the hell am I going to ask for a swimsuit...Maybe Jean she is about my size..yeah I'll ask her but only because he will throw my ass out if i don't." Wanda got up and left to find Jean




"Holy shit guys look at Wanda !"

Bobby said as Wanda caught his eye.. The guys looked were he pointed and their jaws dropped. The only one who didn't look was Kurt. Who was to busy kissing Kitty to notice anything. Wanda came out to the pool wrapped in a towel. She dropped the towel reveling her bathing suit which was of course her favorite color. The fabric barely covering her tall athletic form. Her young perky breasts half spilling out of the top of her two piece. Her trim stomach melting into her curvy hips and perk round rear which was shown off perfectly in the swimming suits thong bottom. All the guys found themselves speechless and found their groins screaming in excitement as they looked at the young witch's natural beauty.

"Damn man Todd is one lucky motherfucker!"

Evan said his eyes almost bulging out of his head as Wanda bent over in front of all of them to lay her towel down beside the pool as she laid down letting her pale skin tan the hot sun.

"Tell me about it. I would kill to get me some of that fine ass "Bobby answered back.

"More Like get killed trying to get that ass" Scott said with a laugh.

"Shut up man! No girl can resist my charms!" Bobby snapped back punching Scott in the arm playfully.


"Yeah right I don't see Amara hanging all over you." Evan said

"That's Different we're friends....." Bobby said looking down into the pool.


"Sure that's why I see you staring at her tits every time you talk to her. Your lucky she hasn't noticed yet or she would fry your ass." Scott said

"I do not..do I?"Bobby said looking a little embarrassed

"Yeah its like she has a sign that says "look here please" Just tell her you like her as more than a friend. But don't be all cocky about it or she will get pissed. That's what I did with Jean and now look at us." Scott said looking to Jean and smiling.


"We don't need to look we can hear you two just fine. Next time try and be more quite I couldn't sleep at all lastnight with you two going at it like that."Bobby said.

"You could hear us?!" Scott said the color in his face draining.


"Yeah Man we all could. You're just lucky Auntie O and Logan weren't around to bust your ass" Evan said

"So how about dem Raiders....." Scott Said


"Don't try and change the subject Scott..I am serious keep it down next time or I swear I am going to turn your nuts into ice cubs." Bobby said as he turned his hand into ice to show he was serious.

"Sure fine whatever.......have either of you two heard anything about Matthew?" Scott asked.


"Yeah I have...wow...." Kurt said as he walked over to the group of guys almost falling into the pool as he saw Wanda and mumbled a curse in German.

"Spill it man." Evan said as he moved over to let Kurt sit down beside the pool.

"Rogue said he was doing OK now. He is still pretty sore but he should be able to come home in about 4 days if nothing goes wrong......She seems to really miss him "Kurt said as his dipped his tail in the pool.


"Man this whole thing is weird if you ask me. I mean Rogue is acting all different and shit now. I heard her giggle when she was on the phone lastnight. ROGUE WAS GIGGLING! Hell it takes almost a miracle to make her crack half a smile and here she is giggling like a school girl." Bobby was holding up his hands shaking them as he said this.

"There is nothing wrong with her you dumbass. She is just happy for once. It just seems weird to us right now since we are so use to her being Depressed all the time but we will get use to it ."Scott said


"Hey guys what are you talking about? .. Is that Wanda over there?" Jamie asked while Blushing

"You better stop doing that before Rahne sees you Jamie. Where is she anyway?" Kurt asked

"Oh She is off running around the woods. She said she felt a little to hyper and wanted to run it off before she went swimming .... Which one of you told her I liked her anyway?" Jamie asked.

"Matthew did...OOPS!" Evan slapped his hand over his Mouth. Bobby slapped him on the back of the head


"DUMBASS!!!" Bobby screamed as he hit him

"Ouch Fucker! I couldn't help it just slipped!" Evan yelled back


"No No I am not mad. I am just glad someone told her. I couldn't get the guts to tell her myself. I had already tried at least 6 times before she said she found out." Jamie said

"Oh OK then. Yeah Matthew told her. He overheard you and me talking about it that morning and told Rahne that night when she made a comment about how you had been acting with her."Kurt said while splashing his feet in the water


"Remind me to thank him when he gets back!" Jamie said after he ran off to Rahne who had just came out of the mansion

"What are you doing out here?I thought you where helping the Chuck look for your father" Logan asked as he walked by Wanda. He had just walked back from the garage. His clothes arms and face covered in grease.

"If you must know the Professor said either come out here or leave. And since I don't feel like going back to that shithole on such a hot day I did what he asked." Wanda said not looking at Logan.


"Where did you get the getup? Far as I remember you didn't bring anything like that with you." Logan said with a small smirk as he looked at the guys then back to Wanda.

"Why you ask? Like what you see?.....Fucking pervert...." Wanda said.

"No, you smartass punk I was just asking because The boys are all staring at you like your the only damn girl they seen in years. You might better go change into something more presentable before you get mobbed" Logan said with a scowl.

"I couldn't care less what they think." Wanda said crossing her arms finally looking up to Logan.

"Is that why you just started blushing?' Logan said with a faint grin


"Fuck you I am not blushing...I am just hot!" Wanda said turning her head away from Logan.

*shit I am blushing.are they really looking at me.....yes......stop doing that before I turn you all into horny toads* Wanda thought to herself.

"Yeah that's why they are looking at ya." Logan said while walking into the house


"FUCK YOU LOGAN!" Wanda yelled.

"MAYBE WHEN YOUR LEGAL !" He snapped back laughing


"LOGAN!" A woman's voice said

"What?Ororo I was just messing with the girl!"Logan said still laughing.

"I known that but she doesn't. That is not what I called you for there is someone on the phone for you in the study it sounds Important." Ororo said.

"OK OK I am going."Logan walked to the study and picked up the phone


"Logan here what is it?" Logan said as he put the phone to his ear and lit a cigar.

"Its Me Remy...." the voice said in a hushed whisper.


"What the fuck you want? You got a lot of balls calling here after what you tried to do. I should've killed you for what you tried to do to Rogue you damn riverrat." Logan said nearly spitting out his lit cigar.

"Shut up I know that. listen I can't talk long..Magneto is planning something big....I overheard him talking about it with Mastermind lastnight. Whatever it is I don't be wanting any part it in...He told me he was just going to take Rogue for ransom but now he told his punk kid he was going to kill her when he got the blueprints. I swear I didn't know he was serious ..... "Gambit said in defense

"Whatever kid just fucking spill it. What does he have planned?" Logan said taking a long drag off his cigar.

"I don't know when he is going to do it but He said he was going to....


"What are you doing Gambit? Get off that phone now !" Magneto's voice was heard screaming through the line cutting of Gambit before he had time to tell Logan anything.

There was the sound of Gambit yelling something followed by the trademark sound of his charged cards going off before the phone went dead.

"REMY? HEY KID YOU ALLRIGHT?!.....SHIT!" Logan yelled as he slammed down the phone.

"Just great! JUST FUCKING GREAT! I KNEW THIS SUMMER WAS GOING TO FUCKING BLOW!" Logan yelled storming out of the room.

"Logan what's wrong? I could hear you yelling from The garden." Storm said


"Ororo Baby...We got some problems......"
