I suppose that this fits Indigo's challenge -- in a weird way. This is another silly, silly, fic. One of the 'why the heck did she post this silly thing' variety. *Sigh* Maybe I should get a hobby... <g >

Psylocke cursed as the alarm continued to blare. Attackers, at six o'clock in the morning! Of all the nerve!

She looked down at the dark hair covering her legs, and sighed. No time to shave now. Good thing that her boots came up to her knees. Now, all she had to do was remember not to lift her arms and she'd be set for the day.


Jean cast one last, longing look towards the bathroom where her toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste were waiting for her. She had that icky morning breath thing going on and longed for a moment with her toothbrush.

Whoever was damned inconsiderate enough to attack before I got to brush my teeth is going to pay for this!

At her side, Scott was desperately scratching at the stubble covering his cheeks. Gambit may have been into stubble, but having the scratchy little hairs covering his face drove Scott crazy.

Six o'clock! he thought incredulously.

He indulged in one more scratch before following Jean out of their room.


Bobby fidgeted uncomfortably. God, my bladder is going to burst! he thought desperately. He considered taking a bathroom break, but the thought of how he'd explain his absence during the fight to Scott changed his mind.

Just don't let me get hit in the gut!


Rogue desperately shifted through her drawer, pausing only to curse at the alarm. "Damn! Where are all my clean underwear!?"

Socks, pantyhose, bras but no underwear!

Oh damn! They must still be in the dryer! Rogue was torn. Fight, or underwear?

"Why do I always get stuck with the tough choices?!" she wailed.


Wolverine woke with a snarl. There were intruders! Fight! He rolled out of bed and grabbed at his uniform. His hand came away empty. He blinked and looked down. His uniform wasn't there!

"Oh what the hell!" Wolverine growled and ran out of his room. Who needed clothing to fight, anyhow?


Gambit cursed as the alarm sent his teammates scurrying out of the house. He shifted around, his eyes searching for toilet paper. There was none.

"Guys?!" he called out. No one answered.Next time, I've gotta check for toilet paper first!

"Hello?!" Still no answer.

"Merde."


A long and strenuous fight later (during which Bobby was indeed hit in the stomach, Rogue's uniform ripped in the butt area, Jean knocked an intruder out with morning breath, Scott got knocked out while distracted by the itching of his stubble, and the wall to the bathroom collapsed), the weary (and in some cases very embarrassed) X-Men wandered back inside.

Flushing, Bobby ran back inside to change his clothing. He'd never, ever live that little accident down. At least the bad guy had been so busy laughing that he'd been able to knock him out. Not that any of his teammates would remember that part of the incident.

Storm had been kind enough to deliver some toilet paper to the cursing Gambit. After delivering the much desired item to him, Storm ran a hand through her hair wearily. She moaned as her fingers got tangled in her long white locks. The winds she had summoned had tangled her hair dreadfully!

And then, the worst part of the after battle routine -- waiting for the shower. Most people thought that super heroes and the like were glamorous, little did they know of the dirt and grime that people tended to be left with after a strenuous battle. Not to mention how much sweat someone could work up in those physically stressful minutes. Sweat soaked spandex tended to cling to people's bodies, making a real pain to get off.

What a way to start off the day.
