Summary: Smart people know not to make Storm angry over breakfast. Or at all.
A/N: I haven't the faintest idea what this idiom actually means. XD I read it once, thought about the X-Men and the idea was too funny not to go with.

bane_6 As I've said before, I have no idea if these characters have ever actually all coexisted in the same panel before. I just snag the ones I like best and who work best for the situation. =P If it bugs you, assume another new AU. (Actually that's a lie, I know these four were all on the same team at one point, but it's been too long since I read them for me to actually establish this fic in that continuity. XD So assume AU anyway.)

It was probably that time of the month again. Or else she'd just rolled out of the wrong side of the bed. Or something. But Logan could tell as soon as Ororo stomped into the dining room that she was not in a good mood. He exchanged a look with the Professor, and they both prudently made themselves busy with breakfast.
Unfortunately, some people were not so perceptive as Logan and Xavier. Or, more likely, Kurt just decided to ignore his intuition.
He crept up behind Ororo, who was at the counter staring impatiently at the toaster, waiting for it to pop. Logan sat back to watch the show, because from the way Kurt was grinning it was going to be a show.
He wasn't disappointed.
From about two inches behind the back of her head Kurt grinned. "Good morning, Ororo."
Ororo shrieked in surprise, jumping at least a foot and spinning to face Kurt. He was laughing to hard to notice as her eyes narrowed in anger. The tea in the cup by her elbow began to boil, and then it shot out of the teacup to hit Kurt squarely in the face, drenching him. He yelped, then gave a rather forlorn, soggy look.
Ororo ignored him, and turned back to the toaster.
