Disclaimer: Ok, here's the drill. I don't own the X-men or the Brotherhood. I wish I had some part in it but I don't. Also, I try really hard to make the story follow the real Evolution plot line, if something sounded wrong, well, I tried.
I do own Faye (and her aliases), the Circus Troupe (and their aliases), Daniel, Tom, Zhar (his realm), etc. You can't use them without authorization and recognition and you certainly can't steal them (that's just wrong!)

Author's note= This follows the plot first presented in "Familiar Stranger." I hope it answers many of the questions that were still hanging. I'm trying to keep it simple and to the point, but who knows what my mind will cook up?
Anyways, have fun! ^_^
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The alarm rang for the fourth time that day on Kitty Pryde's room. She groaned in her bed, turned around and fell asleep again. Rogue was already on her way downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Good morning, Rogue. Did you have a good night's sleep?" Scott tried making conversation as he, Rogue, and Jean headed for the kitchen.
"Are ya kiddin'? With Kitty gabbin' all nahght on tha phone. It was Raven this and Raven that all nahght. Ah don't see wha she saw on that her that is so amazin'. Ah mean, tha woman nearly killed us all..." she trailed off as they entered the kitchen and saw Logan staring right at them.
"Is Kitty up yet?" he asked, trying to pretend that he hadn't heard the comments Rogue made about Raven.
"Ah don't know. Wha does it look like? That Ah'm her babysitter?"
"Watchit, skunk-head. Ya don't wanna start anything today," he growled as he left the room.
"Whoa...," said Kurt. "Is he moody today. What's his problem? Not enough food?"
"No, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Raven," answered Scott. "You know, I don't trust her at all."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Finish your shower already, Faye," said Tom on the communicator that laid near a stained sink.
"Oh, be quiet. This is the only time I actually get to relax and you're bothering me?" she answered from behind the curtain. "You better have turned off that satellite link, Tom."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah...You never let me have any fun."
She laughed and went back to letting the water run on her face. It actually relaxed her and made her feel a lot better about all the things she had said and done, especially all the things she had said to Logan. He always had to suffer when she had a mission to complete.
"Faye! You're going to be late!"
"Oh, fine. I'm coming. Close your eyes," she joked.
"I've just gotten another file from Rat, by the way."
"Did you trace it this time?"
"No, it was too fast. Three part coming from different directions. I couldn't do a thing."
"Darn. How come we can never find out who he is?"
"Assuming that it's a he we're talking about."
"I know," she said as she pulled her the zipper on her skirt and fixed her blouse. "Hey, did you get that latex thing I asked you?"
"Yes, I did. Do you know how to apply it?"
"I'm sure I can figure it out. It'll be a lot easier than using my powers, and a lot safer too, especially with Jean around."
"Whatever you say, darling"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Where is Kitty?" asked Scott, impatiently.
"I don't know. Let's just go, she can catch a ride with the others," said Kurt, looking at his watch.
"Yeah, I'm sure they'll give her a ride. Uh-oh, we're going to be late."
They left, as the others were getting out of the mansion and entering another one of the other cars.
"Come on, we're going to be late for school," said Amara, running.
"Where's Kitty? I thought she was still in the mansion," said Bobby.
"Nah, I think she already went with Scott and Kurt," said Rahne.
"Alright then, let's go then," replied Bobby.
As they left the mansion, Kitty phased through her room and ran, leaving all her things falling everywhere.
"Wait! Wait for me!" she cried as she ran down the stairs. "Oh! That's just great! Like, how am I going to get to school now?"
"What's the long face for, half-pint?" a gruff voice asked behind her.
"Mr. Logan! Could you, like, give me a ride to school? The others left me behind and I have a really important Chemistry test today, I can't miss it."
"No way. Get Chuck ta drive ya. I ain't gonna go nowhere today. It ain't my fault ya missed the time."
"Please, Mr. Logan."
"Don't make that face. Ya know I hate that," he said as she prepared her best puppy-eyed look. "Aww...alright. Let me just grab my hat," he grumbled.
Kitty smiled greatly and jumped up and down.
They made their way out of the mansion and toward the garage. Logan looked at his bike and groaned to find out that he hadn't yet had the time to fix the damage Faye had made on it. He looked around for another available car and found that the X-van wasn't taken. They got in and headed toward Bayville High.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Are you all set?" Tom asked for the seventh time in ten minutes.
"Yes, yes, I'm coming," said Faye as she looked around the small studio she had found.
It was an backwards L-shaped, rather small cubicle, but she had to keep costs low. On the left side, as one came in, was a kitchen. Right opposite of that was a sofa and a small television. At the head of the "L" was a bed with two doors to the side and a window behind it. One of the doors held a closet and the other led to a minuscule bathroom.
The same day of the Psepclips' "visit", Rat had approached her with a package. It contained two thousand dollars in small bills. Rat had said that it would keep her for a month, if she kept spending to a minimum. She tried looking at Rat or at least registering his energy but he formed a wall around himself. She could never understand why he didn't just show himself to her, she wasn't going to do anything to him; after all, he knew more about things that were happening than she.
It was now two days after that fateful Saturday morning with the X-men and the threat that came early, and yet she wasn't positive that it was not the exact threat that she was expecting. In fact, she _knew_ that the "Psepclip Incident", as it came to be known in her memory bank, was just a wild coincidence. The X-men would've relaxed by now and she was sure that she would have no problem covering up her whereabouts during the weekend, lest anyone be suspicious. Not that anyone would be, of course.
She stepped out on that gray Monday morning and headed towards Bayville High. Traffic was intense and the energy hung heavily in the air. The vibe kept on changing every now and then, Faye didn't like what she was sensing; however, the one who was most worried was Daniel. He shifted uneasily deep inside Faye and looked around, apprehensively, with her eyes. She turned around a corner and headed toward the front of the school as a black van pulled up and Kitty got out thanking Logan for the ride.
"Hey, Jade! Come on, we're, like, super late today," she called out as she spotted Faye walking.
"Go on ahead, I'll catch up with you in a second," she answered.
Kitty ran inside the school as the bell rang. Faye approached the van and looked at Logan from the window of the passenger seat.
"So, Logan, I see you're playing chauffeur now."
"Shut up," he said, dryly.
"Aw, come on, Logan. You know I didn't mean any of that stuff I said."
"I don't care. Just leave."
"Fine, but keep your eyes and ears open. Something big is coming."
"Whatever."
"Ok, don't say I didn't warn you. Oh, Logan...that reminds me, whatever happened to your bike?"
Logan growled, extended his claws, and reached over the passenger seat to hurt Faye. She jumped back and laughed. The late bell rang, she blew him a little kiss and went inside.
I do own Faye (and her aliases), the Circus Troupe (and their aliases), Daniel, Tom, Zhar (his realm), etc. You can't use them without authorization and recognition and you certainly can't steal them (that's just wrong!)
