You go down a straight path. It has no turns, it has no twists. It is just a regular path made out of dirt. Surprisingly, you find this scary.
Is this forest sane? you think. This path is supposed to be wild and freaky, but it's perfectly fine!
Suddenly, a boy jumps out in front of you. You stare. He is slim and tall. He wears black gloves and black boots. The boy's shirt is skin tight, as are his pants. He appears to be fast, but somewhat strong. The odd thing about him is his hair is red and curly, with a white streak in the middle of it. And his eyes are black with red pupils.
"Hi" he says, waving. The boy's voice has a Southern accent. You weakly nod, and ask what he is going to show you this time. Maybe this guy came from Pretilla?
"I'm here to talk about me" the boy says. You sigh, all these people here seem so self absorbed.
"My codename's Red Basilisk, but I'm also called Child. My father is Remy LeBeau and my mother-" the boy says. You gasp, interrupting him. You know that name from somewhere. Where have you heard it before? Now you remember.....the X-men Comics!
Red Basilisk smiles at you. "You figured it out?" he says with a smile. "Pardon moi, I have my father's sense of humour. And my mother's powers" he mumbles.
Suddenly you put two and two together. Red Basilisk is.....Gambit and Rogue's son?! How the heck?
"I'm not really Rogue and Gambit's son" Red Basilisk says quickly. "A guy named Sinister took Gambit and Rogue's DNA, combined it and made me. I was not created as a baby, but I was created at the age of thirteen. I joined the X-Men, and they seem to have accepted me."
But, you still don't understand. In the comics, Gambit has a way to touch Rogue, which Joseph made....
"You don't get it, do you?" Red Basilisk laughs. "Starlight85 doesn't read the comics regularly. There's too much crud there. She's only got one comic, and that's because Gambit's in it. She's got a crush on my dad. Starlight used to watch the TV show, and she really liked Gambit and Rogue. She thought up the idea of me, and so I was created. Don't you understand yet? Everyone and everything exsists because Starlight wants it to exsist."
You blink, not comprehending. Red Basilisk sighs, then chuckles.
"It took me a while to figure out too" he nodds sympathetically. "Well, to wrap it up, I've got Rogue's ability to absorb other mutants powers, and the minds of normals humans. I can also charge things up with kenetic energy. Wolverine likes to say that I have the curse of my mother's powers and the curse of my father's attitude. Hah! That guy can't even get a girlfriend...sucker....."
"Starlight85 also told me I was supposed to show you the "list"" Red Basilisk smiles ominously. You gulp. Red Basilisk takes out a long list, on a peice of paper, and reds it out loud.
Every Halloween you dress up as Wolverine.
You adopt the “Morph Laugh”.
When speaking , you unconsciously replace “th”with “d”, and speak a bit of French.

5.Pretend To Enter Someone’s Mind Like The Professor X Or Jean
6.Be A Religeous Nut Like Night Crawler

8. Just Break Down And Cry Like The Poor X-Men Deprived Child You Are!
You pray every night that Rogue will find a way to keep her powers in check so that she can finally kiss Gambit without going absorbing his mind (actually in the X-men comics she has found a way...)
Also in your prayers you ask “and Lord,in the two of the Gambit miniseries, he’s trying to get redeemed because he’s done some bad things in the past that the writers haven’t thought up yet. So please, Lord, redeem him so they don’t have to keep using that old plot.”
You wave sparklers around in attempts to be like Jubilee.
You are so pro the Rogue/Gambit relationship whenever you see Joseph in a comic you immediately shout “die you silver haired women stealer person”and any more insults that you can think of.
You continue to do so for so long that the comic store clerk requests that you stop screaming at the merchandise.
You go to a psychiatrist to see about your X-Men addiction,and when he holds up pictures of inkblots you say “that one looks like a wolverine... that one like a card... that one a lightning bolt...”

You have been on the internet downloading X-Men web sites,and when you finally see the show,you swear that you can see “this page is best viewed with net scape 2.1 or higher”on the bottom of the screen
You sleep with your X-Men action figures (if you’re a girl you sleep with Gambit, if you’re a boy you sleep with Jean Grey...) *****************
"Hmm....there ain't that many" Red Basilisk says with a frown. "Hey kid, do you think you could get some people to send in some more of these "You know you watch to much X-Men When..." stuff? Maybe, we could start a really big list going on here?"
Red Basilisk flicks out a small stick from his pocket. You gulp, realizing that if he charged that up with energy it could pratically kill you, and nod quickly.
Red Basilisk smiles at you. "Good" he says. "Now you can mosey on back to the crossroads or you can e-mail Starlight85 at star_light85@hotmail.com. Or do you want to know more about me? Really? Then just click here to get my life story Starlight's been given too much free time lately, so she decided to blab about my life. What a crazy Fuzor, heh?"
