Aftermath from yesterdays party? Or just more training?

Ah yes... Party FALLOUT...

"Morning ZANE." I heard behind me, growled out by an angry looking Cajun woman with glowing eyes. "Oh! Hey Revvy, uh Remy I mean. Sorry about that. Can I help you?" I asked, as I backed up against the door to the professor's office, my clones leaving off to get started training. "Can you... CHANGE. ME. BACK! I USED TO HAVE TWO STAFFS DAMNIT!!!" The angry Cajun woman yelled out, Logan appearing and holding Gambit back by her coat. Rogue walking up with a laugh. "Oh but this look suits you Remy~ Besides, the staff you have now can't get into places it SHOULDN'T~" Rogue smiled back at the Cajun woman, who grimaced a bit before calming down. "Turn me back damn it..." The door opened at that moment, the professor coming out as he acted as a peacemaker. "W-well about that... I can't... N-NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO! It's just, only the one that MADE the wish can cancel it, I can't undo it myself..." I explained, Logan actually laughing out loud at the news, Gambit turning red in the face. "So we gotta hunt down Jubilee huh? Oh I'll bring cher here to undo that wish REAL quick..." "Hey guys! What's going on?" Jubilee asked as she walked down the hall, all smiles as Gambit spun around on her. "Cher, come over here and undo your wish okay? It was funny last night sure, but I'd like to go back to my NORMAL body thanks." Jubilee came up and asked to undo the wish, I snapped my fingers to rescind her wish and...

I gulped as new information entered my mind... Gently pulling Jubilee over to the professor I tried to quietly explain what was wrong. "What's wrong Zane?" I shook a bit, I must have looked nervous as the professor and Jubilee both looked concerned. "Uh so... I can't undo it... As in there's apparently a t-time limit? And we're currently way past it... What's worse is that, someone can't overwrite someone else's wish..." Jubilee paled a bit as it sunk in, the professor looking worried. "So your saying... there's no way to turn them back?" Jubilee asked, looking guiltier and guiltier by the second. "M-maybe not! I mean we don't know everything about my power right? Maybe if I get strong enough with it I can undo the wish?" I tried to speak out, trying to give some hope. The professor rubbing his forehead as he realized this situation could take some... time to fix. "Alright, Jubilee? Spread the word that no more wishes will be allowed to be used for pranks, we don't want another event like this happening understand?" Jubilee was nodding so fast I thought she might hurt her neck, then came the REST of the bad news. "And YOU young lady will explain to them about the time limit and the HOPEFUL solution Zane MAY be able to produce... Including telling Magik, Piotr and the others..." Jubilee looked like a bit of a kicked puppy as she went to deliver the news, then I froze as I realized something else.

"Wait... what about Bobbi's wish? About Kate?" The professor stopped stunned for a moment, then he sent everyone away and sent a mental message to Jean about the situation. The redheads sudden BURST of laughter could be heard halfway across the mansion, same could be said of Emma's when she heard. Betsy was a bit more controlled, but she may have been too excited to help spread the word to those that didn't know yet. The Russian siblings weren't happy, even if Illyana was having trouble containing her giggles. Then there was Kurt and Beast, both of which not terribly happy with the news, though the Doctor did think of this as interesting research if nothing else. Needless to say I found myself quickly being offered a LOT of help with training, Logan trying to distract herself as much as possible, though Jean did have a LOT of fun leading all the new X WOMEN to go shopping, not too mention explaining lots of things that they would likely have to keep an eye out for now. The blushes on the former men's faces when they came back a few hours later, looked like they would be there for the next WEEK as the topics included taking care of... their new... parts... Emma looked like she was searing the image of the former boys embarrassment into her brain, doing all she could to make it an unalterable, immovable memory.

I spent the rest of the day studying with my clones, keeping myself as well hidden as possible from the others. My training tomorrow would likely be FAR more intense than before, if the number of people wanting to 'help' with the training was any indication. Gambit seemed especially interested in throwing some exploding cards at me, Colossus seemed eager to test the durability of my shield ability, Kurt wanted to see if I could fly fast enough to avoid getting grabbed by the teleporting blue woman, Angel wanting to help with my flying training... Those last two actually seemed genuine rather than a desire to have an excuse to attack me for the wish. Jubilee and Tabitha were both volunteered to help me however they could, due to the wish and the video's respectively.

When the next day started I made the max number of clones and got prepared, today would be a day for...

A LOT of training.

More fun
