Scene One

"We have a problem." Beast spoke evenly, apparently totally unphased by the very problem he was bringing to light. Absently he scratched the fur behind his left ear with his right hand. At the Xavier Institute most of the residents were long ago in bed. Only four of them were up late, holding an emergency conference of war in a lavishly decorated library room. The warm orange of the few scattered lamps made the room seem cosy and welcoming. Firelight and shadows ran amok over the rows and rows of leather-backed books and tomes. The calming smell of burning charcoal from the fire, and of dust piling up where no one had thought to dust, contradicted the urgency of the midnight meeting.

"We fear Mystique is up to her old tricks. She's been causing trouble out West. Its nothing Storm and I can't handle," Beast glanced to his elegant Weather-Goddess teammate, who smiled and nodded simply to affirm his confidence. "We will be departing in Velocity tonight to go and investigate. But it does mean that we are faced with quite the quandary."

"Indeed." Storm agreed, "Logan and the Professor are still taking time away from the Institute to recuperate after Ilehana's sacrifice." She referred to the untimely death of Charles' only daughter and Logan's partner only a few short months before. "Scott and Jean of course are no longer with us after they have departed to enrol at college. Therefore I am afraid that as the eldest remaining members of the X-Men, the privilege of being in charge must fall to you two."

A look of aghast and slack-jawed horror was suddenly slapped across the faces of the two X-Men in the secret meeting with Storm and Beast. Both Magneto's former henchman Gambit and Ilehana's one-time sidekick Blaze gaped and gagged like landed fish. They turned paler than ghosts despite the warm tint from the light in the room. Gambit tried to object, but stuttered instead. Petite redheaded Blaze was not so tongue-tied. Her big brown eyes flashed with angry fire as she voice her objection.

"You can't do this! You can't make us be responsible!" The English girl started forwards, only to be restrained by Remy as he grabbed her upper arms from behind. "Don't leave us with those kids!"

"I'm sure you'll do just fine." Storm assured the pair of ex-thieves, chuckling as she turned to leave the room.

"Don't forget, it's the first day back at school tomorrow. You'll be in charge of getting everyone up and there on time." Beast advised light-heartedly, before following Storm. The door closed behind them, leaving Blaze and Gambit to look at each other in abject misery and despair.

"Wake me up," Gambit moaned, wincing. "Dis has gotta be some kinda nightmare, Cherie." Blaze obligingly pinched his arm hard. "Aw!" He exclaimed, rubbing the sore spot. "That didn't help."

"Looks like we're stuck then." Blaze sighed, "Face it Gambit, we're doomed."
