Chapter 1: The Encounter
Kitty was far ahead of him. There was no way he could catch up and stop her from entering yet another store.
Kurt was really wishing he had not agreed to go to the strip mall with Kitty. It was getting dark and the stars were already out, and they should've started to head back to the Institute an hour ago. *The Professor's going to kill me*
Kitty turned around a corner and he lost sight of her. Kurt started to run over to the corner when he noticed two familiar faces in the crowd. *Oh, great. Just what we need*
The two men, known to the X-Men as Gambit and Pyro, were standing in a shadowy corner glancing around them, looking for something. They were in civilian cloths, but this did not comfort Kurt.
Kurt sprinted over to where he had last seen Kitty. "Kitty! Ve have to leave now! Kitty vhere are you?!"
He would have passed the man and girl and continued on to the shop entrance if the girl's head had not whipped around and stared at him.
Kurt quickly looked down at his hand. It was still pale peach in color and it looked like he had five fingers. He wondered why the girl had looked at him like that. The two people had just come out of the doorway behind them. Kurt blinked. The doorway was gone. It was just a wall next to the shop Kurt assumed Kitty had gone in.
The man turned around to look at him also, but as he did his arm swung and bumped his watch into the wall. Some switch or button was hit and then the man started to shimmer. Or rather the hologram around him started to shimmer and dissipate.
The slightly built, white male with the thin mustache disappeared and was replaced with a dark blue furred man with yellow eyes.
Kurt just stared. The girl standing by the blue man noticed his change and tugged on his sleeve. "We'd better get out of here." she whispered.
Just then, Kitty rushed out of the shop and grabbed Kurt's arm, tugging on him saying, "Ok Kurt, I'm done shopping and we have to go home..." Then she noticed the two people in the corner.
"Like, wow, Kurt, he's scarier then you are." she blurted out before she thought about it. *Oh, great going Kitty. You know Kurt is sensitive about his appearance, what do you bet that this guy is more so?*
To her surprise the blue man smiled, showing very pointy fangs. "He does not look so scary to me, fraulein."

So, do you know who they are yet? I'll give you an imaginary cookie if you get it right when you review. Did I mention I love reviews? Well, I do. If you don't like this story, you can tell me. I won't cry or anything. But flames are not appreciated, and I will retaliate. I'm having a lot of fun with this story, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I am.
