Leo D
Leo was bored, so he thought he'd go back in time.
"Wow," he said to himself as he looked around. he was on a pirate ship!
"Okay, this is totally amazing." suddenly, he felt a blade at his throat.
"State your name and your purpose."
"Um, Leonardo Dicaprio, and I didn't mean to be here, it was an accident."
"Oh yeah? we'll se about that. Put him in the brig, boys, until we can figure it all out."
---
About an hour later, Leo was still sitting in the sdhip's jail cell, when the captain came to see him.
"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, and this is my ship, the Black Pearl. Why are you dressed so strangely, and how did you get on my ship?" Leo gulped.
"Um. I'm from the future, the year 2003. I got here by accident, and I'll be leaving now, if you don't mind." Leo was just starting to teleport to his own time, when the captain grabbed his hand. Shocked, Leo looked around. He had just brought a Pirate back to the present with him!
Leo D and Jack
Jack Sparrow looked around the room.
"What strange magic is this? Where am I?"
"Um, you're in New York City in the year 2003, but I'm going to take you back now." Leo concentrated, but for somereason, he couldn't get back to where they were.
"Uh, I think we need to go see somebody else," Leo said, confused. He led Jack down to the street and hailed acab.
"What Is this? Monsters! What is going on?" Jack said, agrily, as he drew his sword. Leo gave the cabbie directions to the mansion.
"Just get in." when they got to the mansion, Leo led the pirate inside.
"There are some people here who might be able to help me get you back where you belong. You see I've never brought anybody back from a different time before, so I don't know how to get you back again. Once I've been a specific time, I can't go back there again, unless I'm navigating through. It's complicated, and I haven't completely learned to control my power yet."
"Power? Is this hell? Are you some kind of demon?" Leo chuckled.
"No, but I could probably introduce you to some. THis is a school for mutants. For teenagers who are different, who have some sort of special power. I'm half human and half alien." Jack didn't know what to say. For the first time in his life, he was truly speechless.
Sabre, Mordred and Vortiger
Mordred wandered out, and raised an eyebrow. "So. What's his deal?" He jerked his head at Jack. "Looks like Sabre on a bad hair day."
"Shut up, whelp," Sabre growled. For some reason, the two just didn't get along. Mordred laughed.
"Meeeeooww, pussycat."
"You are so close-"
"So close to what?"
"Wolf!" Vortigern pushed his twin away from the growling cat. "Sabre, please."
"I am so close to killing him."
"I'd like to see you try," Mordred retorted.
"GRRRRRR..."
"Mordred! Stop it!" Mordred teleported away from his twin, and got back up in Sabre's face. "WOLF!" The situation was detiorating rapidly. Vortigern pulled Mordred away again. "Can you stop with the pissing contest already?! Why do you havta pick a fight?"
"Cos I can." Mordred grinned. Sabre snarled.
"If it wouldn't upset Nyx, I'd tear you into pieces with my bare hands."
"Like you could touch me, cat."
"Ye wait, ye little arrogant son of a she-wolf."
"Oh, and now I'm so scared. Bite me, you Irish wannabe." Mordred lifted an eyebrow. "Or are you so whipped you can't?" That did it. Sabre sprang. Mordred 'ported and Sabre ran into Vortigern instead.
"Sorry, Vortigern." Sabre got up, and offered a hand to the twin he did like.
"It's all right. My twin can be a bit of an arse. It's just what's been happening..."
Jack and Leo D
Jack drew his sword. "Get back you scurvy scallywags!" Leo looked embarrased.
"I, uh,I accidentally brought him back from the past with me, and now I can't get him back. Um, oops?"
Sabre and Vortigern
Sabre started to snicker. Vortigern shoved him in the chest. "Don't laugh. So. Vortigern Llewlyn, and I don't think we've met. Sabre. Ignore him."
"Oops, would be right, boyo." Sabre was still laughing. "When you lot stuff up, you do it in style, I'll give ye that much."
"We;ve got plenty of magic people on board but it might take a few days to get him back. There's been a lot of stuff happening." Vortigern's face darkened for a moment. "And they kinda used all their magic up."
Jack
"Sabre, I remember ye, ye stowed away on the Black Pearl once, did ye not?" Jack asked, stowing his sword.
"Captian Jack Sparrow, at your service."
Sabre
"Glad to see ye again, Jack. Mother, I never thought I'd see ye again. So, how's the pirate business?" Sabre offered his hand to be shook. "If ye want, we can go out and get a drink later. Place is full of kids, they don't even have any beer, for chrissake."
Jack
"How about rum? Is your sister about? I'd like to see the lady of my ship agin, though we have two new ladies aboard now." Jack swagger up and hugged his old friend.
"So, tell me about this time I've appeared in. 2003, is it? It seems very strange. I'm not dead, am I?" he asked, very seriously.
Sabre and Vortigern
"You don't smell dead," Sabre said reassuringly. "Beleive me mate, if you were dead, I'd know. Spike's dead."
"Undead, I think is the term he prefers," Vortigern said.
"He's a vampire. And yeah, Nyx is around. Watch out for her beau though. He can be a bit violent and possessive. We can go out and get a drink later."
Jack
"Sounds all right to me. Why don't ye show me around, matey?" Jack said, putting his hand on Sabre's shoulder.
"No offense mate," he said to Leo, "But I think all o' this is a bit much for me to take in at once. I need some old friends anda agood bottle o' rum."
Rosemary, Sabre and Vortigern
Rosemary walked in and danced up to Sabre. "Papa, he smells like the sea! Oh, can we go hunting later? I want to go hunting. I'm so bored with bagged blood."
"Jack, this is Rosemary. Hello, my lovely." sabre caught her up and kissed her. She squealed and kicked her heels. "Rosemary is a vampire. I look after her and Dru, this beautiful girl's Sire. Where is Dru?"
"Mama's all sad and crying." Rosemary pouted.
"Ah well, sweet girl. We'll go hunting, I promise."
"Yay!" Rosemary clapped her hands.
"Don't tell Spike," Vortigern said. "And I'm going to pretend I didn't hear you."
"First things first, Jack. If we're gonna go anywhere, we need to change your clothes. So you fit in better."
Jack
"I like me kit the way it is, thank ye very much. Must I? I will not be parted from me sword, me knife, or me pistol," Jack warned.
Sabre and Vortigern
"Would I ask ye to leave your weapons behind? Never, Jack. I always go armed into the city meself. This age is fun, but it's dangerous too." Sabre shrugged fluidly.
"I'm going to go and paint. See ya later, Sabre."
"Bye, Vortigern." Vortigern left the room. "Ye don't havta change if ye don't wish, jack. Might be easier to get served, that's all."
Jack
"All right, I'll change me kit. Do ye have some clothes I could wear? And I am soo looking forward to seeing me Nissy again."
Sabre, Octavian and Vortigern
"Sure I do." Sabre led Jack to the room he had been given. "Nyx is around, somwhere. We got attacked a couple of days past. Nyx took it hard, ye know? A kid died, and some bad things happened..." Octavian walked past, still keeping up her new persona of Goth slut. Tight black mini, black lace top with a red bra underneath, bed hair, and Goth makeup. "Hello, Tav."
"Unless you have something useful to contribute, bite me. Oh, and tell Nyx I want to borrow her black pants." Octavian stopped and turned. "You seen her around?"
Jack
"Oh, what a pretty wench you be. For somebody who dresses like that, ye must be nothing more than a bar whore. How much do you charge?" Jack said, not doing a very good job at seducing Tav.
Octavian and Sabre
Octavian gaped, and then slapped him hard across the face. Sabre cheered. "You arrogant son of a bitch!"
"Go, Tav!"
Jack
"I'm not sure I deservedf that," Jack said, cracking his jaw. "What did I do? She's dressed like a town whore. I've never seen a woman wearing so little clothing unless I'd undresssed her, of course," Jack said, as he swaggered across the room and put on the clothes Sabre had picked out for him.
Octavian and Sabre
"Dear god, I can't believe how much I'm going to kill you." Octavian's eyes were icy.
"Oh, fun. Not wise, mate. The girls in the mansion have powers all their own." Sabre grinned. "And Tav will kick your arse."
Jack
"Maybe I should tell her that I'm from a different time?" Jack said, backing up. "I'm from nearly 2 centuries ago, miss, and I'm still not clear on how I got here, but obviously girls wear a lot less clothing now."
Octavian and Sabre
Octavian's eyes could have frozen lava. "Sabre."
"Yes, Octavian?"
"Could you possibly just hand me my sword? I know you said you'd sharpen it for me."
"Sire thing, lovely." Sabre tossed her the epee and Octavian settled into the en gaurde position.
"I see you're armed. Shall we? Unless you're frightened, of course," Octavian said cuttingly.
Jack
"What did I do?" Jack asked Sabre, truly not knowing why this girl was so angry with him, it was just an honest mistake.
"I'll fight ye, but mind, a pirate never loses. We shall go outside," Jack said. "And a pirate doesn't always follow the rules of battle. But I weon't kill a lady."
Sabre and Octavian
"Feel free. I'm not a lady. If you can kill me, that is. I'm really quite good." They started to walk outside.
"Does a girl always have to make sense? Women!" Sabre threw his hands up. "And seeing as how Octavian isn't really a girl, it really doesn't make sense."
"Well, as soon as your sister figures out how the hell to turn me male again, I'll be quite happy to leave this episode of my life behind me. Believe me." Octavian moved experimentally in her skirt, then slit up the sides of it when she found it restricted her range of movement. "Being a girl bloody well bites."
"You know Diana doesn't like Nyx, and she's having abit of trouble at the moment..."
"I know. I have stress to work off. Demetria's still sick, and this whole thing is really pissing me off."
Jack
"Wait, you're a bloke in a woman's body? That makes sense. I can kill you then. But I won't. I will fight you, though." he said, smiling, as he drew his saber.
Octavian
"Oh, good." Octavian grinned. "Nyx hasn't been in the mood lately, and she's the only one who can handle a sword."
Jack
The two began to duel, and it was like a dance, until Jack finally pinned Octavian against the wall, his sword at her throat and his pistol at her head.
"You've never had to fight to save your life before, have you," Jack asked, grinning. "It shows." He sheathed his sword & holstered his pistol.
"All right, Sabre, let's find t hat sister of your and go out for a drink."
Sabre and Octavian
Octavain eyes were gleaming. "This is fun. Why didn't you tell us about him, when you're spinning your yarns?"
"Don't know. Never really thought about it." Sabre shrugged.
"At least you tell more then Nyx does. But Logan's gonna kill him, most like. Logan is used to fighting for his life, and I'm still unbalanced. If you're still around when I'm male, I'd really like a rematch." Octavian bent to pick up her sword. "I think I'm going to go climb a tree or something. There's been too much happening lately."
"Aye."
Jack
"Then we'll duel again," Jack said, bowing. "I need a good stiff bottle of rum."
Sabre and Octavian
"Aye! A good drink would be just the thing." Sabre clapped Jack on the shoulder. "See ye around, Tav."
"See you, Sabre, Jack." With one last considering stare at the pirate, Octavian walked inside.
"Ye picked the wrong way to approach her, that's all, Jack. Calling a woman a whore, even if she has the mind of a male, is not the best way to go about bedding her." Sabre smiled. "Let's go find Nyx."
Jack
"I see that now. The times certainly have changed." Jack said, staggering behind Sabre.
Sabre, Nyx and Logan
Sabre chuckled. "Yeah, times have changed." Nyx was talking with Logan, and she looked at Jack, looked away, then looked back, eyes wide.
"Jack? Is that you? If this is one of your pranks, Sabre I will be most annoyed." Logan's eyes narrowed, and he put his hands on Nyx possessively, warning Jack off.
Jack
"Nissy!" Jack cried, putting his arms around her, and then recoiling when she slapped him. "Now, I may well have deserved that," he said, grinning. "How be the first lady of the Black Pearl?"
Logan and Nyx
"I be fine. Jack, this is Logan. Logan, Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl." Logan was smirking slightly because Nyx had slapped Jack. "I thought for sure you'd be dead by now. What happened?"
Jack
"From what I understand, some boy came back in time, and accidentally brought me here, and he doesn't know how to take me back. Not that I mind, being around ye again,." he said, as he took Nyx's hand and kissed it.
Nyx, Sabre and Logan
"Nice to see you too, Jack," Nyx said dryly as she took her hand back.
"We were going out to get a drink. Do you two want to come?" Sabre said.
"Sure. We can catch up." Nyx wrapped her arms around Logan's neck and whispered into his ear. "You know, I really appreciate the fact that you're keeping your temper under control."
"It's a close thing." Logan rested his firehead against Nyx's and she smiled, then kissed him. "So, let's go get that drink, hey?"
Jack
"Yes, I definitely need a bottle of rum. Or two. Or six," Jack said, looking around at the modern world.
Logan, Nyx and Sabre
They led Jack to the garage. Nyx stroked the seat of her motorcycle fondly, then looked up. "Sabre, do you want to take Jack in a car?"
"Ok, lovely." Sabre opened the door of one of the cars the Mansion owned.
"We haven't gone racing for a very long time, babe. What say we do that tonight?" Logan stroked her hair and she leant back purring.
"Sounds good. We can...go hunting."
"Sounding better and better."
"Just remember to pack a blanket." The two seperated and got on their motorbikes. Sabre pressed a button to open the garage door, and Nyx and Logan drove out.
"Coming, Jack?"
Jack
"I still do not understand these things. Are they like carriages?"
Sabre
"Sorta. It's a bit complicated." Sabre shrugged. "If you think tihs is odd, wait until you see a TV."
Jack
"Huh?" Jack asked. "Please, just get me to a pub, fast."
Sabre
Sabre laughed. "Just get in, mate." He opened the door for Jack, and the pirate sat down where the cat indicated. "We'll get drunk together for old times sake." Sabre closed the door and walked round to the other side of the car, getting in and starting it. Soon, they were driving to New York City proper. "Now, let me pay for it, alright? Money's different, drink's different. I'm sure we can find some rum though."
Jack
Jack sighed. "Is there anything that isn't different?"
Sabre
"Sex is still the same. But there are some very interesting new kinks." Sabre flashed the pirate a grin.
Jack
"That may be fun to explore," Jacxk said grinning. "Is this the pub?" he asked, as they pulled up outside a bar.
Logan and Nyx
"Yeah." He led Jack inside, and headed for where Logan and Nyx were already sitting at a table. Logan had a beer and Nyx was licking at some creamy liquer. "Guinness, ta mate. And a rum," he ordered from the bar before going to the table.
"Hye, Jack. How was the ride?" Nyx grinned, before her tongue darted out to catch the smear of chocolatey stuff on her upper lip.
Jack
"Much faster than a horse. But still, this place and time are so strange," he said, looking about. "I miss the sea already."
Sabre
The bartender brought their drinks over and Sabre picked his up. "Well, we can see about getting you home, or you could stay here."
"We can go sailing sometime. The tech's advanced a fair bit since the Black Pearl, but she is still the most beautiful ship I have ever sailed on."
Jack
"I'm sure my crew has kept to the code and chosen a new captain already," he sighed. "I hope they choose Will as captain. Do you remember Bootstrap Bill Turner? Well his son is now my first mate," Jack smiled
Sabre
"Cool! Um, what happened to Bill? Or do I not want to know?"
Jack
"I don't believe you want to know," Jack sighed, remembering the death of his good friend.
Sabre
"Damn," Sabre sighed. "He was a good man. What's his son like?"
Jack
"He is a great man as well. Took it hard, when he first discovered his father was a pirate, but he takes to it well. His wife is a lovely girl herself, with more spark than you could magine. Reminds me a lot of Nyx, actually." Jack laughed.
Nyx and Logan
"Maybe we can go back for a few days, and visit." Nyx's eyes were wistful. "I miss the Black Pearl sometimes."
"Eh, but only once Leo gets his power under control. I don't fancy being stuck there forever. To visit is alright." Sabre grinned as he finished his drink. "No bloody paperwork for one thing." Logan just sat and nursed his drink.
Jack
"He said it's because he's never taken somebody with him before. Oh, is Drusilla still around, or did somebody get the pretty princess long ago?" Jack asked.
Sabre, Nyx and Logan
"Dru's around." Sabre smiled. "We went to Europe for a bit, and then the shit hit the bloody fan over here, didn't it? So we came back."
"And she's still as pretty and fancy filled as she ever was," Nyx said fondly. "She has a new Childe too. A girl from Prague, called Rosemary."
"She freaks me out," Logan commented gruffly.
"She won't bite anyone at the Mansion, she promised."
Jack
"How about Angelus and Darla? Darla always scared me, truthfully, but I always pegged Angelus as a big ponce." Jack grinned and downed his rum.
Nyx
"Darla is dust, thank the eternal mother. And Angelus is now Angel, the brooding vampire with a soul. Oh, and that's not even the funniest thing. Angel and Darla had a kid." Nyx explained the circumstances of Connor's birth to Jack, giggling madly. "The kid's a little ass and he doesn't look like either a girl or a guy, you know? Cute, but way too fond of pointing sharp pointy sticks at people."
Jack
Jack opened his mouth, then shut it. Then opened it, and then shut it. "Vampires, having a kid? I think I need more rum, mate," he laughed.
Nyx and Logan
"Oh, yeah. Let's all get drunk, then we can ring Scott up and make him come and get us." Nyx raised her glass. "Anyway I can annoy him is of the good."
"Prat." Sabre leant back in his chair and then got up to get more drinks for everyone. He came back in a few minutes. "So, what's this about getting pissed then? Sounds like a plan."
,ch faster than a horse. But still,
Jack
"I want to get so pissed I don't remember being here. Or maybe I don't. I don't know, I just want to get pissed under the table," Jack said, laughing. "I need about 6 bottles of rum. THis stuff is so weak! Is all liquor like that now?"
Sabre
"Eh, just about. Here, try some of this." Sabre got up and whispered to the bartender. "Vodka. Only thing the bloody Russkies are any good for."
Jack
Jack tossed it back. "My, but that's some good stuff. Can't let my crew know, though. Captain Jack Sparrow drinks nothing but rum, we all know that," he grinned, and continued getting thoroughly sloshed.
Sabre, Nyx and Logan
"O'course he does! And all good Irish boys drink nothing but Guinness! Thank god I'm not really Irish." Sabre laughed.
"Yeah, you big faker."
"Hush, Niss me girl." Sabre reached over and messed her hair up. She squealed, and bit at his fingers. Laughing, Sabre left her alone. Logan smiled as Nyx climbed into his lap, telling him all the things they were going to do that night. He bit at her neck and she giggled.
"Sounds fun, babe. I'm up for it." The two cats and the pirate continued to get drunk. Logan didn't dare lose that much control.
Jack
"So, Messer Logan," Jack slurred. "Tell me 'bout yerself. How'd ye win over the wondeful MIss Niss?" he asked.
Logan, Nyx and Sabre
"She decided I smelt good," Logan said with a slight smile.
"Oh, and he does! Like mmm, alpha. Wolverine screams alpha and you better not mess with me." Nyx rubbed the top of her head along Logan's shoulder, purring slightly. "Couldn't resist. Had to have him."
"Whay he means to say, Jack, iss that my sib has hot pants." Sabre laughed.
Jack
Jack laughed and then started singing sea chantey's loudly.
"I wanna go back to sea," he complained, before passing out on the table.
Logan
Logan managed to get them all back to the mansion in one piece.
Other then that, he didn't want to talk about it.
