Complicated

SUMMARY: Charles, Alex, Sean, and Hank are left without a plan after the Cuban Missile Crisis. After a while, they decide to recruit more mutants. Lots of drama ensues after their recruits stir up more than enough drama. But when the drama causes them to forget about the real problem, will that give the villains the upper hand?

DISCLAIMER: I hate doing this, so this one will be for the whole story. I do not own X:Men: First Class

Chapter 1

A Beginning

Three young men were sitting in the lounge of the mansion, lazily hanging around, not really doing anything productive.

Ever since the Cuban Missile Crisis, they all have been on edge, restlessly waiting for something big to happen so they can do what they do best- save the day. But seeing as that wasn't going to happen soon, they had spent everyday lounging around. Charles Xavier had disappeared into his study, only appearing briefly for meals and then heading straight back into his study again. The boys had no idea what he was doing in there and they were growing restless not knowing what he was secretly doing everyday, but seeing as he wasn't going to tell them, they quickly forgot about it and started doing their own things.

Alex Summers, Havok was his 'codename', was lying on the couch, throwing a ball into the air and catching it. Alex was always the guy that wanted to charge into things, not really thinking them through, the rebel type. That explains why he was growing quite tired of sitting around all day. Lucky for him, his day was just about to get better.

Sean Cassidy, better known as Banshee, was trying to beat his high score in pinball. Known as the 'kid' around the house, he was always trying to rile the boys into some game, always ending up rejected. So he usually went off in his own world, ending up playing pinball, or bothering the other two.

The furry blue monster, Beast, was just Hank McCoy. He was reading yet another book. The nerd of the ragtag team, always coming up with new inventions and weapons for the team to use. He still can't get a cure to change his appearance though. Alex and Sean were the lucky ones, they looked normal. But Hank, no, Hank looked like a, well, a beast.

All three of them were getting quite annoyed that no plan was put into action by Charles. I guess it was their lucky day, because things were about to get much more interesting around there.

Boys, meet me in the kitchen I've got something important to tell you!

Charles Xavier was using his power to communicate to the boys again, scaring them to death. They were still not used to him doing that, for he had not had to use it against them often, so whenever he did do that, the boys would often drop what they were doing.

Alex, just his luck, was brushing his teeth, and when Charles made his announcement, he ended up jumping and throwing his toothbrush in the air, where it landed-no where else but- the toilet. The unflushed toilet.

"Damn it, Charles!" He growled, rinsing his mouth and stormed towards the kitchen.

Hank was in his lab when he got the news, and dropped a test tube making it shatter on the ground.

Hank sighed and reminded himself to clean it up later, now he had to meet Charles.

Sean was picking up one of Alex's bouncy ball, which he wasn't supposed to be playing with, that he had dropped under the table, when he received the message and jerked, hitting his head on the table.

Charles, you do know we have an intercom system Hank built, right? Why don't you use it?

Stop your whining and just come on, Sean.

And so the three of them made their way to the kitchen, wondering what had finally pulled Charles away from his permanent stay in the study.

Alex, always the smartass, just had to make a comment about Charles finally leaving his room. "Charles! We haven't seen you in forever!" He smirked, earning himself a glare from the Professor himself.

"What did you need?" Hank asked, annoyed he had been interrupted form his experiment.

"I know you all hate being cooped up in this tiny house," Charles laughed at his own joke, but not receiving a reaction, he continued. "So guess what?" He paused again, waiting for a response, but all he got were blank stares, he cleared his throat and continued. "I have a plan."

With those words, the faces of the three young men lit up considerably. Those were the four words they had been waiting to hear.
