Chapter 1: The Assault
Evan Daniels skated down an empty street. It was getting late and he needed to get back to the Institute for a training session. In his mind he was at the worst part of town. Lots of people loved it down there, but most of the nights were full of gang fights, or muggings. But he couldn't argue in the day time it was beautiful. The street lights flickered on as he rode passed them. As he passed some late night dwellers or just some people enjoying the view on their porch, they all would glare or yell something at him. It wasn't easy being a mutant.
"Get out of town, FREAK!" a man yelled. Evan strode past him. "Hey leave me alone I didn't do anything to you man." He said. The man made a rude gesture toward Evan that he chose to ignore.
He finally made it back to the Xavier Institute. He leapt off of his skateboard and picked it up. Then he punched in his security code and began to head inside once he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to find nothing and put it out of his mind just saying it was his imagination. He entered the building.
"Hey Evan, where like, were you, we already finished the session." Kitty said springing at him once he opened the door. "I was just goin' for a ride, man." He said. "Evan you have to be more responsible, you can't always bail on us when we need you here." Scott said entering the foyer. "Sorry, but I just... Oh forget it." He said running up the stairs. Scott sighs. Kitty turns back to her Cosmo Girl magazine.
Evan put his face in his pillows, he was exhausted, and with them always pushing him, well it didn't help. He flipped over onto his back and grabbed the remote. Some TV would help him relax. I mean who schedules a training session on a Friday night. He sees a news report that startles him.
Anchorman: And the government has just finished on a prototype for ending mutant crime. It will be handed down to the police next week. It is said to be once of the most efficient ways to take down a mutant attacker. A thought of locally selling these came to call but was denied when the government and police forces stated it would be like selling guns to anyone. We look to mutant crime rings in downtown Bayville, but mostly on the outskirts of town. Now police can have a fighting chance against these mutant thugs. Back to you Dianna.
Evan flipped the channel in disgust. Who would want another government powered weapon to kill us. Actually the question he should be asking is who wouldn't want it. KNOCK! KNOCK! He heard at his door.
"Who is it?" he asked. "It's me Kurt." Kurt replied form the other side of the door. He opens the door. "Hey man what are ye doing?" Kurt asks. "Just watchin' some TV, why?" Evan replies the furry blue man standing in front of him. Kurt says nothing and holds up a brochure of a new movie theatre showing a film called Double Guts. Evans lips then curved into a smile. "Its rated R so you're gonna have to port us in their," Evan says now smiling.
The show time was late at night. They waited as everybody else drifted into sleep. They tip toed down the stairs, what's a good movie without good food. Evan pulled a bucket of chicken wings out of the fridge and two sodas. They went to the foyer getting ready to port when a lamp turned on, they both leapt at the sight. Evan had ducked behind Kurt and was shivering.
"Whatcha' doin'?" Kitty said smiling at the sight of Evan cowering. "Uhh, ve vere going to the porch to eat this." Kurt said. "Yea…yeah that's what we're doing." Evan agreed. "Oh, then you mind if I come along then too." Kitty said catching their bluff. "Fine Kitty, you got us, ve are going to see Double Guts. Please don't tell." Kurt said. "On one condition… I get to come too, I have been dying to see that movie." Kitty said jumping into the air.
There was a puff of smoke and the three were gone. The have teleported right to the door of the film. "Good porting Kurt." Evan said patting him on the back.
"Oh my God!" Kitty said turning toward the two. "Vhat is it Kitty?' Kurt asked. "You guys didn't bring any sugar snacks. I trusted you! Now I have to walk all the way to the concession stand and buy them myself. God!" She said stomping away from the group. It was an odd obsession she had with sugar. "Dude lets get some seats, opening night on Friday, it will be packed." Evan said running into the theatre.
They left the movie hours later, it was around 2am and nobody was outside except the final crowd leaving the film they had just seen. Darkness was seen all around, some car lights were visible, but only for a second.
"Hey we are like only a block from the Pizza Parlor, you wanna grab a bite, its open all night." Evan said clutching his stomach.
"We really should go back, but if you all vant to then I vill come." Kurt said.
Kitty smiled and shook her head, so they all walked over to the curb and crossed the street. They heard gangs holler in the night and even some brawls were happening as they walked by an alley or two. Right outside of the Pizza Parlor a hooded man approached them. Once he looked up they realized he was no older than they were. His long blonde hair covered his eyes and shadowed the rest of his face.
"Give me your money." He said in a dreary tone. He was induced on all sorts of drugs. He coughed. "Give me your fucking money. You bitches deaf?" he said.
They all knew that three mutants against a hobo was unfair so finally Evan stepped up.
"Hey, leave us alone, you know who we are, now don't set yourself up for a beating and kindly walk away." He said.
"You think you scare me you little piece of shit!" the man snarled. He flipped out a switchblade. "Don't make me ask again." He said. Evan relinquished his spikes, not shooting them just showing them, a warning.
At the sight the man stepped back, but then stood forward. He spit at Evan. Evan rubbed his eye. The man ran at him, he lifted Evan and threw him against a dumpster. Then he lifted a street light out of the ground and whipped it at Kurt and Kitty, once Kitty saw this she grabbed Kurt phasing him through it.
The man was so outraged he slammed a car down between the him and the three young teenager. He ran into the darkness.
"Evan! Oh my God, are you ok?" Kitty said running toward him and cradling his head. Kurt joined the two.
"I've felt better" he mumbled looking down the path at where the boy had run. His eyes narrowed.
"Ve have to get home and tell professor." Kurt said. "Yeah and get totally busted." Evan said lifting himself up to his feet.
"Evan it is more important than that, we were attacked, and by another mutant." Kurt says. They both grab on to Kurt's shoulder and within a second, like the wind, they were gone.
