summary: X-MEN AU aka this isn’t really a fic at all!
note: i’m actually pretty excited about the new X-Men film that’s coming out. And I thought how cool would it be if there was a football/X-Men AU! I wouldn’t know how to write that but I let me share my ramblings with

real madrid/brotherhood vs barca/x-men is quite fitting! i was actually imagining the other team as liverpool since my fic writing is limited between them and real haha.
the man visiting xabi was supposed to be mourinho. i found it fitting that he would have a "god-like" power like healing.
rogue is a better example! she totally slipped my mind.
i love the idea of cris silencing the constant stream of noise for kaka. cris bringing kaka peace? who would have thought.
maybe sami could have a power that absorbs massive shocks or something. i like the parallel of two powers complementing each other.
your suggestions are awesome! telekinetic iker with the constant hand posing makes so much sense! pique constantly shocking people makes me laugh. as does multiple pipitas. i also want marcelo and pepe to have powers they can use to be super annoying. like invisibility or walking through solid objects. and sergio with wings! of course!
thanks so much for commenting!!!

It's also a great rp idea. (Look at http://x-journal.net/ or their wiki, the game's been running for years...)

Wait, now I am confused. Who are the equivalent of the X-Men then, and who's coaching them? Was Mourinho supposed to be Magneto? Does that make Liverpool evil misguided? Or are things less black and white in this universe, which I would absolutely love! *g*
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your idea about Samisut having complementary powers! So Sami's powers would be like Bishop's? He could even be a cop in real life! Ooooh, yes, I would love that! :DDDDD <3 <3 so much.

Lol. I can see it now: Mesut punching Sami really hard to charge him up before a fight. And Sami enjoying it.

But yeah. I think that's a good idea.

Marcelo: "Hey, Mesut, don't you need to hit big bro here before we go and kick ass or something?"
Mesut: "Eh..." (blushes)
Sami (grinning): "Oh, trust me, he took his time charging me up earlier."
Marcelo (covering his ears in panic): "Geeze! TMI! TMI!"
Iker: "Carpe diem, I always say. Now focus people, before I kick your asses."

Especially: lol ilu Iker.

and in my head i just assumed the other team was liverpool since i only write about those two teams. but your idea of it being barca makes much more sense. does that make sense?
my x-men knowledge is not as good as yours so I don't know who bishop is!

Do you want Real Madrid as Mourinho's or the opposing (X-Men) team? Cause I have trouble seeing Saint Iker as a brotherhood member.
I must confess I also struggle to find a coach other than Pep or Jogi Löw that I could see as an Xavier (idealistic, human-friendly) character. Unless you want to bring Aitor Karanka into this. ;-) I guess a veteran player/football legend like Zidane could also work?
@Bishop: Have a wiki entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop_%28comics%29
Basically, his powers work like battery. He absorbs, stores and redirects all kinds of energy.
Bishop's a time traveller (not powers related) and a police man, and back when I still read the comics, there was a time he basically worked in District X (New York's mutant ghetto) for the NYPD as a cop for mutant matters. Hence the idea of Sami as a cop. Plus, lunar_art writes him as a cop, which might have influenced me as well.

I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS:
i would use the brotherhood (mou) and the x-men (pep) as a basic template for the fued with mou not necessarily being all "evil" and pep not necessarily being all "good". all they know is they just don't agree with each other. does that even make sense??
Reply
The way your current line-up goes though is that you mainly feature brotherhood characters as your main protagonists. Would the "X-Men" team be secondary characters? Would you also write from their perspective? Would that be tough or fun to write for you, considering you don't usually write them and already have so many characters to deal with?
(As you can see, I have spent too much time BETAing fics. Sorry if I seem overbearing.)

not at all! i kinda love discussing it. and i love getting your pov and ideas! i'm just not sure how i'd work stevie into this. you know, if i was going to write some of it...

Oooh, so Kakà and Cris wouldn't be enemies, but on the same side then. Gotcha. Cris canceling Sami's powers, BTW, could even be dangerous when he's charged up, cause all that stored up energy then has to go someplace else... Kaboom much?
Oh, and multiple Pipitas would also make great Mou!spies!
I also see you wrote Esteban fic! Ooooh, I love me some pirate. What would his powers be, I wonder...

I don't actually know that much about Esteban, although I instinctively love him. Mou hasn't been using him much as a player lately. Maybe a luck-based power? Thinks just have a tendency to work out for him, short or long-term?
Teleportation? That's always useful.
This is not necessarily for him either, but do we have a feral mutant yet? Feral mutants display (atavistic) characteristics of animals, such as heightened senses, agility, sharp teeth or claws, fur, and some of them can shapechange into the animal at will. Don't know who to give this power to though.
Oh, why do I now think of Pique as a were-dog? An unassuming, cute one. No, scratch that image.
Also, Messi needs to have shrinking powers due to his RL growth-hormone deficiency as a kid. (The power of wikis...) Maybe something like, the more he shrinks, the faster he becomes.
And we do need to reserve some powers for Barça... I wish someone here were a Cule and could act as consultant!

i don't know who would best suit the feral mutant power. Maybe valdes?
haha. i get the feeling that whatever power he gets, it'll always go awry.
i had to salvage some cool powers for barca, otherwise it'll seem very one sided. i was thinking:
pep - something telepathy-based? dream projection?
puyol - can generate earthquakes/sound waves
xavi - fire manipulator
alves - super speed/agility
messi - i originally wanted to give him teleportation but the shrinking power is pretty cool.
iniesta - ...i don't know
villa - uh. i got nothing. or he can have super-speed and alves can have shadow kat's power?
valdes - feral mutant
who else is there?
