X-Men: Evolution

Destiny Magics

A/N Okay, I'm sorry to start this off with an author's note that will probably be pretty long, but I need to say some things.

First of all, this is the first fan fiction I've written, and I've only just got up the courage to post it. Most things I think of that would be considered fan fiction stay in my head; I like to write, but am nervous of what people would think. Yes, I realize I probably sound like a sissy. But anyway, reviewing would be nice, just post any criticism you have in a somewhat gentle way for now, please. Until I get more confidence, if I ever do.

Okay, secondly, I have watched x-men Evo. seasons 1, 2, and 3, but not season 4, the last one. According to my sister (blame her if I'm wrong) season 4 was never put on DVD, so I've never seen it. Irritating… it's the to be continued that's never continued. I do know the basic facts on how they defeated apocalypse, and I read somewhere that Jean and Cyclops became teachers at the institute. They won't be in most of my story though. They're off doing something else until the last chapter or two. What are they doing…? I don't know. That's not important.

Okay, now I'll mention that updates may be slow; I don't like typing, I don't have an awesome memory, and I just joined this fan fiction writing, so I'm still trying to figure out how this whole thing works.

I've been reading fan fiction for a little bit, especially X-Men: Evo. ones, and I've taken some ideas from here and there. If you see a scene or 2 that seems like a similar idea to what you've written, thanks for the idea, and… I hope you're not angry. I'm not trying to copy, I swear. I just don't know much about X-Men characters other than what I've watched in X-Men: Evo. and X-Men: Animated. I may need ideas from other sources, just something small.

Now, I have some Questions. First, I'm labeling this a romance, and there will be some later, but I know this should probably fall under another genre as well. Problem is, I'm not very good at determining what types of genres things should be. Kind of like music; I wouldn't know the different types if they walked up and shook hands. Therefore, some way into the story, could you tell me what genre you think, so I can add it in? That would be great. Also, I'm bad at figuring out acronyms… I think I know some. Correct me if I get these wrong, please: AU is alternate universe, OC is other character, and OOC is out of character. Did I miss any? And what's a 'Lemon'?

this fanfic is T for safety in later chapters. the full summery wouldn't fit in the box with what I wanted to say, so you'll find all of it just before the chapter starts.

Now, finally, I'll say that this fan fic. happens after the defeat of apocalypse, and that during the course of the story I may randomly alternate between using a character's real name and their codename. Just ignore that, that's just the way I am. Also, there is a character in here that I made up, so… OC, if I'm right. Alright, I'll get on with the story… and I'll try not to make an author's note at the start this big again.

Disclaimer: I do not own X-men Evo.

Summary: a strange new mutant visits the institute, bringing dire warnings of danger. But the display of strength she showed the first time the x-men meet her leaves them reluctant to trust her. But when events come to pass, and a certain blue mutant is in mortal danger, they have no choice but to turn to the only one who can help.

Fear of the unknown

The sky was completely dark. Thick, black, heavy clouds covered the moon, a night of frightening darkness. No eyes, human strength or otherwise, could penetrate the unrelenting darkness. The clouds were the kind you would expect near a tornado, or at least a severe storm. But no wind blew; no thunder could be heard; no lightning could be seen. If a person was to look up, they would see nothing, like nothing was there.

Yet there was something there, or rather someone. A creature, black as the abyss of sky but for her eyes, flew over the city she was now passing. The darkness in the sky was not unbroken, not to her. She could see threads of colours, webs of the light that filtered through, invisible to any other eye. They were there. But even those were dim, and this made the creature narrow her purple eyes in worry. She could read these strands of light; with them so dim, it meant nothing good. They shimmered and flickered around her, telling her, warning her of what was yet to be. This darkness, it was only the start of what was possible to come. The creature took on a look of despair. Was there no hope? Was all lost?

Suddenly the lights gleamed. The clouds moved a fraction and a thin ray of light shone from the moon, to strike and reflect off the creature's hard skin. The creature smiled. There was still some time. She knew that the darkness was a portent, a storm about to break. A storm of war. Only this war, the dim light told her, would be fought within the minds of very important people. The light ray from the moon was gone now, but it had told the creature all she had needed to hear. There was a chance, a slight chance, that they could win that war. If she could read their light patterns, perhaps she could help ensure that there would be a future. The creature shook her head. She could try, but she had seen it before, on the lights. When a repressed, shadowed past reared back to strike, the only one who could beat it was the person who had it. They did not often win. The creature pumped her wings harder. This one had to win. If he did not, then when his past struck it would not only destroy him, but shatter the resolve of all those close to him, and the minds of some. The creature flew faster, ignoring the burn in her wings. He had to win; they all had to keep fighting for their cause. If they did not, the light would vanish; there would be no hope for the future. The creature pushed her wings to their maximum speed; she had a long way to go, and far too little time. She pursued the only option left: go to the Xavier institute, and warn the X-Men of the dark times coming…

Kurt Wagner perched near the window sill in the rec. room of the institute, staring out the window. He was alone; his inducer was switched off, showing his blue fur, pointed ears, and 3- fingered hands. His 2-toed feet easily gripped the edge of the table that he was perched on, and his spaded tail swished back and forth. The sky outside was perfectly clear, with a full moon shining and all the stars bright and clear. The light from the moon made everything as bright as day to Kurt, but even while he was thinking to himself that it was a beautiful night, he felt uneasy. He had no idea why, and that just made him more so.

"Hey Kurt, what's up?" Kurt's head swiveled around to see a blue-eyed brunette in jeans and a pink shirt walk through the wall.

"Hey, Keety. Nozhing much." He said, his German accent apparent in every syllable "Vhy?"

"Oh, like, nothing important." Kitty said. "I just wanted to, like, make sure I wouldn't interrupt anything if I put on a movie."

"Nope. Go ahead, Keety." said Kurt, turning his attention back out the window. Kitty got out her movie and turned the TV on. Setting things up, she was at the perfect angle to see Kurt's expression. She stopped.

"Kurt, is everything okay? You seem, like, distracted." He looked up, startled.

"Huh? Vhat?"

"You're just staring out the window, Kurt. That's not like you. You could be, like, doing just about anything and you're just staring out the window. Are you okay?"

"Yah, yah, I'm fine, Keety." He flashed a brief smile at her, then his eyes drifted again to the window. Everything was fine, so why did he feel a sense of danger that made his fur crawl? Kitty looked at him hard. He didn't look fine; he looked as though he was worried about something. Maybe her friend could use some distracting, she thought. She started the movie and sat on the couch.

"Well, then, maybe you'd like, wanna watch this movie with me?" Kurt looked at her for a moment, then looked back out the window. Everything was peaceful. Maybe he was just paranoid. Or crazy. Or both. He looked back at Kitty.

"Sure, vhy not?" he leaped from the table to the couch and refused to let himself look back out the window as the movie played.

A/N There! My very first chapter of my very first fan fiction! Like it? Keep writing? Or not? I do have more planned… but I won't write it if people don't like it.
