Madelyn found she had two other problems to deal with as well as keeping calm. The first was that she was still tied to the support and couldn’t jerk forward with the shapes, which were as big as her torso because her tail would tighten and she would be unable to reach the holes. The second was her rounded pommel gloves. These would limit her ability to pick up the shapes and generally frustrate her if she dropped the shape. Taking a deep calming breath Madelyn picked up the star shape. “Two minutes left.” Jean said from behind the potty. Madelyn pushed the star shape through the hole and felt a surge of triumph. ‘I picked up the ‘ectangle and put it through the ‘ectangle ‘ole.’ Madelyn thought her mind beginning to deteriorate ‘Next twiangle into………twiangle.’ ‘Wound in………………’ Madelyn saw that this was her last shape, ‘How wong?’ She thought trying to squeeze the circle into the triangle hole. Rolling the shape around she found the circle hole and began to push. Unfortunately not the shape through the hole. In a moment of clarity Madelyn realised she had been duped. Shoving the circle into its hole, the potty began to open up and turn around very slowly as Madelyn finished pooping her diaper. It stopped facing Madelyn who didn’t care anymore and was crawling away to find a teddy bear still peeing her diaper. Summon turned to Hypnotic with wicked respect in her eyes and an evil smile. “I know.” Hypnotic said looking at the back of Jean’s skirt. “Are you…?” She nodded her head at Jean. “No but I think she needs to use the potty.” Black smoke covered Jean and she appeared sitting on top of the potty still fully clothed with a newspaper in her hands. Quickly pulling down her wet training pants Jean began “reading” to the tune of ‘Simply the best’.
“Well now that our little entertainment is over lets get back to the task at hand.” Hypnotic said as she and Summon moved back to their previous positions leaving the rest of the brotherhood staring open mouthed at the scene that had transpired in front of them.
“You…aren’t going to change them.” Avalanche was the first to find his voice.
“No they’ll ask when to be changed.”
“When?”
“Even though when they act like babies they act more like babies the cycle doesn’t take into account an infants attention span. Once they get bored or their diaper gets cold the babies will start to cry and will need to be changed.”
“And by that time they will have put another load into their diaper and the circle repeats itself.” Summon finished.
“What about the clone Jean?”
“She will get bored in the cube. Big Deal. Big kids have to play with little kids all the time the state of their underwear doesn’t bother them.”
“It’s a stalemate.” Gabriel announced. “We’re stuck their stuck. We can’t fight on all sides and win but neither can they. Whatever Magneto is planning involves keeping us busy whilst someone else achieves the goals.”
“You think he is after the XI and the other attacks are to keep our attention away from our own home?” Forge asked.
“I think so but I could be wrong.”
“Oh man!” Spike said “With our defences down as well, if it wasn’t for us here the Brotherhood would be redecorating.”
“We need to find Madelyn and Rogue. With them here we could separate our forces. We could help one of the other groups to win they’re battles and bring help back to here at the same time.” Iceman said.
The others nodded.
“Where do we start?” Night Crawler asked.
Madelyn’s head ached; well it did when she was big enough to think…
Her thoughts drifted to her and away from her so quickly…
That it was hard to focus on anything except…
Except what Jean put in front of her…
Sometimes she understood what Jean was saying to her but others…
