created a few other X-men; however, and they are mine.

"Hey Katy, wait up." Katy turned around to see her friends Audrey, Jake, and Rich. Katy, Joanne, and Matt, who walked beside her, slowed for them. Katy adjusted her glasses that were against her face. Her glasses, which looked like sunglasses, were the only thing that kept fire from shooting from her eyes.
Katy like Audrey, Jake, Rich, Joanne, Matt and many others were mutants. They had certain mutant powers. All of them were different in some way. Audrey also known as Osprey had wings on her back along with eyes as good as an eagle. Jake could move really fast. He was known as Dodger. Rich known as Metallic could cover his body with metal. Joanne known as Mist had the power of water and Matt was known as Hulk because he could become almost like an animal with sharp teeth and claws.
"So what's going on?" Katy asked Audrey.
"Nothing much. You?" Audrey replied.
Katy was about to speak when Audrey hushed her. "Wait I hear something."
For a moment, everyone listened.
"I don't hear anything." Rich said.
"I do. I hear people screaming. I'm going to get a closer look." Audrey pulled of her jacket and opened her wings that lay against her back. With great ease she flew up and landed on a building overhead. She stood for a moment then landed back down.
"What did you see?" Matt asked.
"Mutants, there are trying to attack the president. I heard he was doing some sort of speech not too far from here. It looked like Magneto, Pyrho, Saber Tooth and a few others were trying to kill him. Some of the mutants from Xavier's school were there. They were trying to protect the civilians, but they are no match for Magneto."
"We've got to help them." Katy said.
"Help them?" Jake said. "Kate what do you expect to do. You are not a superhero like Batman or Superman. You'll get yourself hurt."
"Civilians might get hurt though. We should see if we could help." Joanne spoke up.
"Professor James told us to stay away from civilians and other mutants." Rich said.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I am going to go help." Katy spoke up.
"Professor James won't like it. He might get very mad." Jake said.
"I don't care. I am going." Kate looked around. "Even if I go by myself."
Joanne came beside her. "You're not going by yourself Kate." Joanne said smiling at her best friend.
"I am right behind you." Matt spoke up.
"Thanks guys." Turning to Jake, Rich, and Audrey she said, "Any of you wish to join."
"We're not getting in trouble." Rich said. "Right, Jake."
"Right. Audrey are you with us?"
Audrey hesitated. "Umm."
"Come on Audrey are you with us or not?" Rich asked.
"Yeah I am with you." Audrey said in a weak voice.
"Fine. Let's go." Kate took off running, her friends right behind her. The place wasn't too far and Joanne knew a shortcut. By the time they got to the place, Matt already had his claws and teeth ready. He was running on all fours, ready to attack.
Kate noticed nine mutants. Five of them she knew were the bad guys. Three of them Audrey had mentioned, but there was also Mystique and Toad. Katy knew of or had heard of the powers of each one. Mystique could change into anyone or anything she wanted to. Toad acted just like a frog. Magneto could do just about anything with anything metal. Pyhro could control fire and Saber Tooth had really sharp claws and was like a huge cat.
The other mutants were from Xavier's school, but she did not know what powers they possessed. There were two guys. One looked almost like Saber Tooth. The other had a visor over his eyes and when he adjusted a knob, lasers shot out. The other two were girls. One seemed to be able to walk through things, while the other seemed to have some sort of telepathy power.
Katy quickly moved out to help a civilian. Bodyguards of the president were all over, but their guns wouldn't work because of Magneto. Some of them were trying to get the president to safety, but were met by Mystique. She threw some kick knocking five over. Katy ran to her.
"Hey Mystique." Katy pulled her glasses down just a little. Fire shot out, but unfortunately, Katy could not aim to well. The blast barely hit Mystique on her arm.
Mystique recovered and came at Katy with a flying kick. Katy dodged and threw a kick back at her. It hit Mystique in the side of the head, but Mystique didn't even seem to notice. She quickly threw a kick sending Katy backwards. Before Katy could recover, Mystique landed a punch in her face. Katy's glasses flew off. Quickly she closed her eyes, but now she was in a world of darkness. She could no longer rely on her sight. She had to use her other senses.
"Ah what's wrong?" Mystique laughed. "You too afraid that if you opened your eyes fire would hurt a civilian?"
Katy ignored her comment and stumbled to her feet. She could hear Mystique circling her. She kept her guard up and was more than ready when Mystique charged in. Katy blocked and using her senses threw a kick. It landed, but Mystique was fast. Katy sensed something coming at her, but couldn't react in time. She felt a kick right at her stomach. She flew backward, hitting a car. She lay there trying to catch her breath.
"Perhaps I should get rid of you." Mystique said.
Mystique changed into Saber Tooth and was about to strike Katy with her claws. There was nothing Katy could do about it.
Suddenly Mystique screamed and Katy heard her slam against a wall.
"Leave her alone, Mystique." A man's voice called out.
Katy felt a hand by hers and grabbed it to help her up.
"Are you okay?" the same voice asked.
"Yes, I think so. Thanks for saving my life."
"No problem. My name's Scott."
"Nice to meet you Scott. I am Kate, but all my friends call me Katy."
"You did a good job fighting Katy without being able to see. I am guessing that after your glasses were knocked off, you kept your eyes closed so you wouldn't hurt anyone." Scott said.
"How'd you know?" Katy asked puzzled.
"Let's just say I have the same problem. With my glasses on I am fine, but when I take them off, lasers shoot out everywhere."
Katy was about to say more but she heard footsteps coming.
"Katy are you okay?" came Matt's voice.
Katy nodded.
"Here you go." Katy reached out her hand as Joanna handed the glasses back to her.
"Thanks." Katy said as she put them on. She opened her eyes and looked around. She looked at Scott and smiled. "Let me introduce you to my friends. This is Matt and Joanna."
"Nice to meet you. I am Scott. This is Jean." Scott said pointing to the girl that was beside him. She was the one that seemed to be using telepathy. "Over there," Scott pointed to the man with claws, "is Logan and beside him is Kitty."
Kate nodded. "So what happened here?"
"Magneto decided on a attack against the president." Jean spoke up. "As you probably know he is against mutants. Magneto wanted to get rid of him and take revenge."
"We didn't want anyone getting hurt so we protected him. As we distracted Magneto and his crew, the president got away. After that Magneto left." Scott said.
"Thanks for your help." Jean added.
"No problem, but we better get back or we'll be in trouble." Joanne said.
"See you around some time." Kitty said who had been listening in on the conversation.
Katy smiled at her. "I hope so."
Slowly the three began to walk off. Katy was happy that she had come to help. She had met four new mutant friends and had helped them save the president. Katy knew she would be in trouble, but somehow it didn't really matter. Somehow saving the life of people, even people who despised mutants, was worth it.
