Most Disturbing Quote: She hears a noise coming from her door. She walks over and picks the piece of paper up of the ground. Walks back over to her bed and sits down. She unfolds the piece of paper, careful not to rip it. She can tell it's from Him, it's his hand writing.

Fan Version: A Model Xman , in which Jean Grey and Scott Summers recruit Zoolander ’s Derek, a mutant who could unite humans with X-Men.
Most Disturbing Quote: Derek's eyebrows arched like a bridge across his graceful nose, allowing an expression of fear to cross his face. As if his fears of being punched weren't enough, three long, flawless blades extended from between the man's knuckles.

"Logan, stop!" Jean pretty much uselessly tried to restrain the man. "You don't know who that is!"
Pinocchio (1940)

Fan Version: You’re A Donkey Twice , in which Pinocchio helps James Bond take down SPECTRE.
Most Disturbing Quote: "I've been thinking on that too." Fowlfellow continued. "The Pleasure Island bit and "stupid little boys" is beating a dead horse by now. It failed on this island in 1881 and it failed again in Duckburg in that other world in 1951. Rather than changing "stupid little boys" who play hookey from school and vandalize property that no one cares about into donkeys I'm proposing that we go after the SMART little boys THROUGH their schools and Scout troops.
“In other words I'm proposing that we threaten to put your DNA donkey juice in the food and drink that goes to every school and Boy Scout Association in meeting place in Europe unless the unless the European governments cough up a payment equivalent to twenty billion Pounds Sterling. This is the sort of thing that SPECTRE has done on several occasions under Blofeld and can do again with your donkey DNA juice.

"Zeke, is that you?" Troy called out, jokingly.
"No, you idiot!" the man yelled. "It's me... Saw! You have five minutes to sink a basketball into this hoop before the room fills up with toxic gas and kills you."

The two programs herded the ponies onto the ship, all of the other programs at their stations, carrying out their work, staring at them.
