~Chapter 1~
"Nifty~!!! So what is this shiny thing again?" Bobby grinned as Pipi-Esper or Pep as he had come to call her examined the toaster with a curiosity that only she could possess. He called out to Kurt,"Kurt~!!! Come get your 'sis' before she hurts herself with the toaster!" Of course no sooner had he said this than a loud yelp came from the kitchen.
He ran in to find Pep cradling her hand to her chest, her large pink eyes glisening."It got hot...,"she whimpered extending the three digit hand towards him. "Oh Pepsi," he said taking her hand in his,"It does that... That's how it cooks the bread...here... which finger did it get?". Pep pointed to the third one and using a little bit of his ice powers Bobby blew on it. He looked up at her with a slight grin on his face and whispered,"Any better?" She nodded unable to look away from his face and suddenly... there was a knock on the door.
~~~~~
Kitrina Fae trudged up the walk to the Xaiver Institute. She didn't know what was worse the 3 month trip here or the fact that her brother had said a total of about 3 words during that trip. Either way she just wanted to get inside... her feet hurt, she was thirsty and to top it all off her holo-watch was beginning to spaz and she didn't know how mush longer it would last. That wasn't all she was worried about... she knew her brother was mad at her... after what happened she couldn't blame him but it wasn't just that... it almost seemed as if he blamed her for being a mutant. it made no sense at all. Luckily she didn't have anymore time to think about it because she and her brother had finally reached the door. So, looking at her brother and taking a deep breath, she leaned forward and knocked on the door.
~~~~~
Pipi smiled to her self. She was having a great week. The professor had come and found her and brought her here. She had met someone who was fuzzy like her (Kurt... duh) who accepted her like a sister and called her 'the fuzzy chick' because he was 'the fuzzy dude' , she met the Kitty who was teaching her how to deal with crowds... and boys and she had met Bobby... she didn't know what it was about him but she liked it when he smiled. What had happened in the kitchen just a few minutes ago had seemed... special.
Her thoughts were interrupted when Kurt came bounding up to the door where she and Bobby were standing."Vhat's the noise about, fuzzy chick?" She was about to answer but Bobby beat her to it,"There's a lady outside who keeps saying things like' It is urgent that I come inside and talk to the professor... I'm almost certain it is an emergency' but she won't say what it is she needs." Kurt was about to reply when he was cut off by a rather angry sounding voice from the other side of the door, "You don't need to mock me... I had been trying to be polite... but let's try it this way... my SPECIAL watch is on the fritz and I can't exactly take it off and work on it out here so would you please OPEN THE DAMN DOOR~!!" Kurt's eyes widened in realization and he opened the door letting a boy and a girl in from outside.
~~~~~
Almost right after Kurt closed the door behind them the Kitrina's holo-watch broke down revealing her unhealthy looking pale skin,"Well, shit," she looked briefly at the group around her as her brother found a couch to sit on," Ummm... the name's Kitrina... do you have a table I can use?" The blue one nodded and the group led her into what she assumed was the dinning room. As Kitrina sat down and took off her watch the group introduced them selves one by one. The first one called himself Kurt, he was covered from head to toe with blue fur, had slightly darker blue hair and yellow eyes. He was wearing baggy denim shorts and a white tanktop and was in her opinion rather cute. The second was an average boy with brown eyes and light brown hair. He wore baggy jeans and a T-shirt. He smiled like he had confidence in him self with good reason and called himself Bobby. The last was a girl. She was furry like the first one but her fur was red and orange. Her hair was orange and in two high pig tails, her eyes were pink and she wore a red kimono with an orange sash that showed off her slim figure. She said her name was Pep.
"Ummm... great. You can call me Sy... Do any of you happen to have a flathead screwdriver?" Kitrina asked as she looked at her watch. Of course she almost fell out of her chair when one appeared out of nowhere and landed in Pep's hand. Pep giggled and handed it to Sy,"Don't mind that... it's just her power," Kurt whispered. Kitrina grinned, feeling stupid and looked at Pep and Bobby,"Hey, could you two run and tell the professor Kit is here?" They nodded and walked out of the dinning room. Kurt sat and watched Kitrina work for a while before asking her,"So why the name Sy?"
Kitrina looked up,"Hmm??? Oh... It's short for Siren...It's my mutant name..." Kurt nodded. Kitrina continued working but could feel him looking her over as she had them when they introduced them selves.She could imagine him taking in her red braided hair that was just brushing the chair she was sitting on, her deathly pale skin, her black wire glasses, her black tanktop and baggy jeans... she could feel his eyes settle on the black rose tattoo on her right wrist. She wondered what he thought. She shifted uncomfortably and he took the hint and looked the other way for a while.
Not long after Professor Xavier came in and settled next to her. Kitrina took a moment to wonder where Bobby and Pep went before the professor spoke,"Hello Kit... are you still going by Kit?" Kitrina looked at him,"Sy actually..." "Which is short for?" "Siren." The professor smiled," So you have a codename already? That is excellent... I'm terribly sorry you and your brother had to make it here on your own... your mother called me shortly after you had to leave...sounded quite upset actually..." Kitrina frowned slightly,"Yes well... while we are on the subject why didn't you come to pick us up?" The professor frowned at this,"Well you see... lately the Cerebro hasn't been working well... we haven't been able to get a lock on much of anyone... but Logan has been helping me repair it... it should be working any day now..." As if on cue a voice was heard from somewhere on the next floor up,"SHIT~!!! I'M GONNA DESTROY THIS DAMN THING MYSELF~!!!" There was a momentary pause during which it looked as if Xavier was concentrating on something and then they heard,"Sorry 'bout that Chuck... I'll keep it down next time..." some other things where mumbled after that but every one ignored it. There was a moment of silence and suddenly Kitrina began to giggle soon Kurt was laughing too and even the professor chuckled a couple of times.
~~~~~
After fetching the professor with Bobby, Pep walked down to the res room. In there she found the boy from earlier deciding she would be friendly she sat next to him on the couch,"Hi... I'm Pep..." When the boy didn't answer she tried again,"Ummm... What is you name?" The boy looked at her as if he had just noticed her,"Ummm... well... you can just call me Alter..." He didn't say any more so she took a moment to look him over. He had black long hair, either black or brown eyes... it was hard to tell. He wore a black T-shirt over a white tank, a chain necklace and black baggy jeans with an intricate white dragon embroidered on the leg. Above all else he look tired, so he and Pep sat and watched TV in silence.
~~~~~
Kurt sat and watched Sy and the professor work on her holo-watch it looked to be an older model than his but from what he had seen it had basically the same function. It wasn't long before they had finished and she put it on for a test run. She flickered for a moment then she was standing there and her skin color was much closer to normal though still a shade pale. Kurt watched with amusement as she pulled a small mirror from her pocket and checked her teeth,"Vhat are you doing Schlohweiss?" Kitrina looked up from her mirror,"Making sure my fangs are gone... the last town I was in ran me out screaming I was a vampire..." Kurt frowned,"I'm sorry, Sy..." She smirked," Don't be... once we got away I though it was hilarious." Kurt smiled and the professor said, "Well I suppose we should give our guest the tour." But before they could stand up there was a yell from upstairs,"CHUCK~!!!"
Professor Xaiver looked toward the ceiling,"Yes,Logan?" "We got a lock on a mutant... he's hiding somewhere in Leeds, England~!!!" The professor smiled,"We're on our way... gather the rest of the team." Kitrina grabbed the professor's shoulder, "I know I'm new but... Can I come?" The professor looked her up and down and after a pause said, "I suppose... Kurt take her to the jet." Kurt nodded, grabbed Kitrina's arm and with a *Bamf* they were on the jet.
Once they where on the jet Jean turned to look at them. She looked to Kurt, "Who is she?" Before he could reply Kitrina hit a button on her watch and it shut off. Jean looked her over once and said, "Nevermind... Welcome to the team." Kurt and Kitrina smiled at Jean and then Kurt led Sy to a window seat towards the back of the jet and sat down next to her. Soon after the rest of the team joined them and they were off.
~~~~~
Just before they landed Kitrina turned her watch back on. She looked to the others to see what to do and found them all waiting for the professor to speak, so she looked to the front of the jet. The professor looked at each of them in turn and said, "Now... we know that the mutant is in this part of town and that his name is David... we don't know what his power is but we have reason to believe he is hiding... so don't do anything to scare him and stay together... we will be in groups of 4 so get together and start checking the alleyways and backstreets." Somehow Kitrina ended up in a group with Kurt, Rogue, and Jean, so they set off quietly down an alley way in search of some form of life.
Five alleyways and 2 drunks later they spotted a boy of about 15 crouching in the shadows. Kurt whispered to Jean to contact the professor and then they sat trying to decide how to approach David. While they were thinking Kitrina took in his appearance. He wore black baggy jeans and a T-shirt with a skull and cross bones on it (there were words under that but she couldn't read them). He had charming blue eyes and bleached hair with blue highlights that it looked as if it had usually been spiked but lately he had not had the time (or gel) so it fell flat and gave him a fringe of bangs. Kitrina had just noticed there was something odd about how he was sitting when her view was blocked by Jean's back and she heard Kurt whisper, "Vhat on earth do you think you are doing, Jean???" But of course Jean wasn't listening and so she continued walking toward him as the rest of the team rounded the corner and she said, "David... My name is Jean... We're NOT hear to hurt you..."
Well David turned to look at her and then took off at a run. He got about ten steps then he looked like he realized something and disappeared. Rogue and Jean got into an argument and the moment he was gone and Kitrina just stood there in shock. After a moment Sy turned to the professor, "Let me and Kurt go after him..." The professor looked at her and then she heard his voice in her brain, I don't know if that's a good idea, Siren... ...he has a tail professor... I saw it... Kurt and I should handle this Kitrina and the professor locked eye for a moment and then, "All right... you have 10 minutes... according to the readings he should only be around two blocks to your right... good luck." Kitrina smiled and grabbed Kurt by the arm.
Kurt *Bamfed* them two blocks over and they made their way slowly up the alley. Not long after they spotted him sitting in a tree... the only problem was he spotted them as well. Worried he would disappear again Kitrina decided to take a risk, "We're mutants too, you know." David looked surprised for a moment but then became angry, "Yeah? But at least you look normal..." Kitrina sighed, she had hoped to avoid this but now she didn't know how, "No we don't... Kurt turn off your holo-watch." Kurt looked at her wide eyed but did as he was told, Kitrina shut hers off as well. With the watches off David looked down at them as they really were. There was a moment of silence, Kitrina was the first to break it, "May we at least come up and talk to you?" David thought for a moment and then nodded smiling good-naturedly. Kitrina again took Kurt's arm and they *Bamfed* into the tree. David met them with a grin on his face, "That was... interesting..." Kitrina smiled too as Kurt began to explain the institute.
~~~~~
David was sitting Between Kurt and Kitrina on the jet. He had finished introducing himself and his power and the rest of the group had introduced themselves. So now he leaned over to Kitrina and asked, "Why does everyone call you Sy?" Kitrina smiled and replied, "Well it's short for my codename... Siren." David thought a moment and then said, "I don't like it.... Got any other nicknames?" Kitrina looked slightly embarrassed and said, "Well... the professor calls me Kit..." David looked thoughtful again, "Kit....Hmmmm... I think I'll call you.... Kitten," he grinned at her embarrassed look, "So Kitten, What is you power???" Everyone perked up at this because no one had heard what her power was yet. Kitrina looked up slightly embarrassed, "Well, I can produce any sound at any volume..." Kitty smiled, "Can you, like, play music?" Kitrina laughed, "Sure I can." Kurt grinned, "Play something for us Sy." "Well.... ok..."Kitrina thought for a moment then music filled the jet...
_ I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street. _
Kitrina smiled and began singing along in her own voice with the male voices she was creating.
_Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
There burning into the night.
There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.
Ooh superman where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.
This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.
I remember long ago -
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago -
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep.
Too many men
There's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.
Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to._
Everone stared and then Kitty spoke up, "That was pretty... what's it called?" Kitrina smiled shyly, "Well it is called 'Land of Confusion' and it's by Genesis... It's kinda old but I still like it..." David smiled at her and whispered, "Nice job, Kitten" and spent the rest of the flight talking to Kurt about Pep and the other new recruits he had yet to meet.
When they arrived Kitrina said she was gonna go get 'Zander' to introduce to David (who, just to get back at him, she had taken to calling Foxy) and Kurt dragged David off to meet the new recruits they had talked about. It wasn't long after that Kitrina ran into the room looking rather panicked, "I CAN'T FIND HIM.... HAS ANYONE SEEN ZANDER???" She received a bunch of blank stares so she started yelling again, "YOU KNOW... ZANDER...ALEXANDER...ALTER..." Pep stopped her at the word Alter, "Oh him, he took off a while ago saying he couldn't live here with his sister and if she came looking for him he would have to hurt someone..." She trailed off when she noticed Kitrina looked a little too calm. In fact Kitrina looked completely calm up until she crumpled onto the floor.
~~~~~
Mattolina sat in an overstuffed chair listening to her CD player. She had only been in the boarding house 3 weeks and she was already board. Ever since she got away from Xaiver nothing else interesting had happened. Lina looked down at her Tenderheart wrist band which matched her earrings and her T-shirt and sighed. She turned off her CD player and took off her headphones. Brushing the brown and silver strands out of her eyes the last few lines she had listened to repeated themselves in her head.
_I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored._
Right about then the door flew open and there dressed in black with long beautiful black hair was the cutest guy she had seen in a year. She nearly felt out her chair when he turned to her, grinned and said, "So... Do you guys have a vacancy?" She just barely managed to nod.

"Nifty~!!! So what is this shiny thing again?" Bobby grinned as Pipi-Esper or Pep as he had come to call her examined the toaster with a curiosity that only she could possess. He called out to Kurt,"Kurt~!!! Come get your 'sis' before she hurts herself with the toaster!" Of course no sooner had he said this than a loud yelp came from the kitchen.
He ran in to find Pep cradling her hand to her chest, her large pink eyes glisening."It got hot...,"she whimpered extending the three digit hand towards him.

David thought a moment and then said, "I don't like it.... Got any other nicknames?" Kitrina looked slightly embarrassed and said, "Well... the professor calls me Kit..." David looked thoughtful again, "Kit....Hmmmm... I think I'll call you.... Kitten," he grinned at her embarrassed look, "So Kitten, What is you power???" Everyone perked up at this because no one had heard what her power was yet. Kitrina looked up slightly embarrassed, "Well, I can produce any sound at any volume..." Kitty smiled, "Can you, like, play music?" Kitrina laughed, "Sure I can." Kurt grinned, "Play something for us Sy." "Well.... ok..."Kitrina thought for a moment then music filled the jet...
_ I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street. _
Kitrina smiled and began singing along in her own voice with the male voices she was creating.
_Now did you read the news today
They say the danger's gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
There burning into the night.
There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.
Ooh superman where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour.
This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.
I remember long ago -
Ooh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago -
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep.
Too many men
There's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.
Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for.
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to._
Everone stared and then Kitty spoke up, "That was pretty... what's it called?" Kitrina smiled shyly, "Well it is called 'Land of Confusion' and it's by Genesis... It's kinda old but I still like it..." David smiled at her and whispered, "Nice job, Kitten" and spent the rest of the flight talking to Kurt about Pep and the other new recruits he had yet to meet.
When they arrived Kitrina said she was gonna go get 'Zander' to introduce to David (who, just to get back at him, she had taken to calling Foxy) and Kurt dragged David off to meet the new recruits they had talked about. It wasn't long after that Kitrina ran into the room looking rather panicked, "I CAN'T FIND HIM.... HAS ANYONE SEEN ZANDER???" She received a bunch of blank stares so she started yelling again, "YOU KNOW... ZANDER...ALEXANDER...ALTER..." Pep stopped her at the word Alter, "Oh him, he took off a while ago saying he couldn't live here with his sister and if she came looking for him he would have to hurt someone..." She trailed off when she noticed Kitrina looked a little too calm. In fact Kitrina looked completely calm up until she crumpled onto the floor.

Mattolina sat in an overstuffed chair listening to her CD player. She had only been in the boarding house 3 weeks and she was already board. Ever since she got away from Xaiver nothing else interesting had happened. Lina looked down at her Tenderheart wrist band which matched her earrings and her T-shirt and sighed. She turned off her CD player and took off her headphones. Brushing the brown and silver strands out of her eyes the last few lines she had listened to repeated themselves in her head.
_I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored._
Right about then the door flew open and there dressed in black with long beautiful black hair was the cutest guy she had seen in a year. She nearly felt out her chair when he turned to her, grinned and said, "So... Do you guys have a vacancy?" She just barely managed to nod.
