Oki, I have a couple of other stories in the works, but the idea for this just popped into my head last night, begging to be written. I apologise if I don't get much further than the first chapter for a while, I also apologise that this chapter isn't very long, I'm not good at long chapters.

I may end up with a couple more first chapters on ff.n before I finish this one, don't despair, it won't mean I have given up on this, it'll just mean I've finished another first chapter, amazing, lol.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own X-men evolution or pretty much anything mentioned in this story, oh, except the evil drunk! ..oh, yey me, I own a drunk, ah the joy… isn't sarcasm great?

Rated for language and implied rape and, who knows, I may decide on femslash in the later chapters, depends what people want.

Anyway, please read and review, please.

--Chapter one--

It was a sunny afternoon in Bayville and the kids had just finished school, they all came flooding out of the doors and headed to their buses or cars. A girl of about 16 waved goodbye to the group of friends who were splitting into two to get into either a red sports car or a black van, calling to them "I'm gonna, like, walk home, see you guys later!

The girl was wearing cropped jeans and a cute pink cardigan over a vest top, her hair pulled up into a high ponytail. As soon as she was out of sight of her friends she pulled a mobile phone from her pocket and dialled a number. Soon she was walking along, nattering into the phone and completely oblivious to the scruffy man following her.

Taking a shortcut that lead down an alleyway, the girl finished her phone call with "..Like, quit it Lance, 'pretty Kitty' sounds so lame and you know it, ok, ok, later!" She switched off the phone and put it away, humming to herself as she neared the end of the alley.

"Hey, pretty Kitty." A mocking voice spoke from the shadows, causing the girl to spin round and stammer "Who..who's there?"

The man who'd been following her stepped from the shadows, a predatory leer fixed on his unshaven and dirty face, Kitty took a couple of steps back.

"Like..stay away from me!" she squealed.

"Like, no!" the man mocked her again, lunging forward to grab her, Kitty immediately darted forward, phasing through him.

"What the fuck!?" he shouted, spinning round quickly. Kitty tried to make a run for it, not looking back, which turned out to be a mistake, because she didn't see the fist headed for the back of her head and it connected, knocking her out before she had chance to phase.

Waking up later, just as the sky was darkening, she rubbed the bump on the back of her head. Then, as she felt the chill on her skin, the pain between her legs and her torn clothes scattered about the alley, she realised with a mix of horror and nausea what just happened to her.

Stifling her sobs, she gathered up her clothes and dresses, glad they weren't too ripped, she slowly made her way home in a daze. The ringing of her mobile phone woke her for a moment, it was Kurt, wanting to know where she is, worried about her.

"I..I…" she was about to tell him everything, but something stopped her "I'm fine, Kurt" she lied "Just got thinking and lost track of time, I'll be home soon." She told him, switching off her phone again and continuing on her way, there was no way she was going to tell anyone about this, they would probably laugh at her for being pathetic about it, or say it was her fault for walking there on her own.. or for being knocked out, what kind of an X-man let themselves get knocked out by a lone drunk?

When she got home, thankfully no-one was around to see her tear-streaked face or torn clothes, so she went straight to her room, throwing the clothes in the bin and heading for the shower after telling Rogue on her way to tell Ororo that she wouldn't be down for dinner that night.

She spent at least an hour in the bathroom, the water was almost scalding hot as she scrubbed herself, still seeing dirt where there was none. Eventually she was marginally satisfied and she came out of the shower to look at herself in the full-length mirror.

"Why me?" she murmured to herself "I'm not particularly pretty…or sexy…" after another ten minutes of eliminating the possibilities, she settled on what it must have been, "The valley girl thing.." she murmured "Vulnerable, unable to fight back… it's my own fault for acting and dressing so..ditzy." she decided, pulling on her pyjamas and heading back to her room, already making plans to stop anything like that happening again.

The next day when she woke up, she smiled to herself; a smile that was wiped away as the events of the day before came crashing down on her memory. Stifling a sob, she looked over at Rogue's bed, glad the goth girl was a heavy sleeper. Heading to the bathroom, she had another very thorough shower and got dressed in the clothes she picked out – her sirens outfit, the leather ensemble was a far-cry from the pink valley girl stuff she usually wore. Happy that her new look would be some protection against anyone looking at her with that predatory expression that she remembered from the day before, she headed down to breakfast, running over the way the characters spoke in numerous 'bad girl' films she'd seen.

As soon as she walked into the room all noise stopped and the X-men turned as one to stare at her.

"Woah, Kitty…uh…" Evan stared, lost for words.

"Can you not call me Kitty anymore people? It's so…childish." She said, sneering slightly as she sat down, Ororo raised an eyebrow, clearly wondering what had brought this change over Kitty. 'Let her wonder' Kitty thought, as Kurt said. "Vell, vhat do ve call you? Katherine?"

She shakes her head and sneers again "Eugh, no, Kat'll do."

"Ok Ki-…uh, Kat.." Evan said, looking very confused.

They finished up their breakfast, only interrupted by Rogue coming in, staring at Kitty and saying "What the fu-", being stopped from completing that sentence by Ororo and Kitty saying she wanted a change.

"Uh..ok, whatever.." Rogue muttered, staring at Kitty out of the corner of her eye like she would explode any minute while she ate her breakfast.

As they headed out, Kitty was stopped just by the entrance by Logan.

"Where d'ya think you're going half-pint?" he growled, holding a hand out to stop her.

"To school Logan, where else? And quit it with the stupid nickname will ya? Sounds so….babyish." she scowled and tried to walk past him, he stopped her again.

"I am not lettin' you out this house dressed like that."

"Why not!? It's nothing worse than what Rogue wears!" she snapped, scowling even more.

Logan moved to put his hand on her shoulder, frowning when she flinched away from his touch, she took advantage of his momentary confusion to dart out of the house and he yelled after her "This ain't over half-pint!"

Kitty just yelled back "Don't call me half-pint!" as she jumped into the back of Scott's car.

The ride to school was very quiet, everyone wanting to know what brought on the change in Kitty's attitude, but nobody quite daring to ask.

Eventually, knowing why they're all so quiet, she snapped "Oh for God's sake, I just decided I was too childish and ditzy, alright? So I went for a change, no big deal, live with it."

They were all rather taken aback by her outburst, Rogue recovered quickest, she grinned and said "Whatever you say, Kat." She for one was glad to see the change in her roommate, she'd never been able to stand Kitty's obsession for pink, or the way the valley girl spoke, and whatever the reason the change was a welcome one.

Kitty guessed what Rogue was thinking, the goth had never made it a secret what annoyed her about Kitty, 'but would she be so glad if she knew why?' she thought, smiling grimly as she hopped out the car on their arrival at school.

"See you guys later." She called as she made her way up the steps, conscious of the stares that followed her from both her friends inside the car and the rest of the school, Rogue just followed her, laughing.

As soon as she arrived at her locker, leaning against it and opening her mouth to talk to Rogue, there was a shout of "Kitty!!" and Lance came running over, staring at her with wide eyes. Rogue just burst out laughing.

"It's Kat now Lance, as I keep explaining, Kitty's so childish." She said with a roll of her eyes at having to explain yet again.

"Uh, ok..Kat…umm…you didn't do this for me did you?" He asked, frowning slightly

"Why would you think that?" She said with a disbelieving eyebrow raised.

"Umm…well this is sort of just like the end to Grease.." he suddenly realised what he just said and hastily corrected himself "I mean.. how people have said that crappy chick-flick ended, with her changing for him…."

"Give it up Alvers, I know it's your favourite film. And no, I didn't do this for you, now get lost I'm busy." She dismissed him with a wave of her hand and turned back to Rogue, who was still having a hard time controlling her laughter.

Lance continued to stare at her until she shot a death glare in his direction, then he scowled and slouched off, muttering under his breath. Kitty just smirked as she watched him go, that is until he turned around and said "I know something's happened to make you do this 'Kat." He said, sneering at the word 'Kat' "And I'm gonna find out what it is." And with that he turned and walked off again. Kitty stared after him for a few moments, a worried look on her face, but she quickly hid it under the mask of another smirk, then turned back to Rogue.

"What a loser." She said, rolling her eyes "So, how 'bout we hit the mall tomorrow to get me some new stuff? I know you don't like shopping but I need to replace the pink!"

Rogue looked at her strangely but nodded "Yea..ok…anything to get rid of that awful wardrobe you used to have." She smiled slightly, but the confusion at Kitty's look of worry still showed in her eyes.

So, what do you think? How can I make this better? Suggestions? Also, any ideas for upcoming chapters? Or do you just want me to give up and never pick up a pen again?

Also, pairings are open, although obviously it started with lancitty, suggestions please?

REVIEW PLEASE!
