Chapter One: First Encounter

Disclaimer: I own no Marvel characters. Mouse, however, IS mine. Don't worry, she won't be in every chapter.

This story is based on my opinion of X-men Evolution. It is a disgrace to the X-men universe. So, I'm going to have a character destroy it. It may be a long-and-drawn-out process... But I want the story to be a little fun too.

If you don't like that summery, DON'T READ IT! Save us both a lot of trouble.

"A terrible experiment indeed." The scientist known as Mouse spoke to herself, standing back and admiring her latest creation. She was building a virtual reality simulator that was programmed with the characteristics of the X-men. She had been intending to use it as a training program for doing battle against the X-men, but there was no way she could do that now.

The experiment had gotten out of hand.

She had been in the process of programming the VR versions of the X-men when the machine she had been using to study them got lost and went to a high school. That had conveniently wrecked the entire program, changing the personalities of everyone that existed in the program already. It wouldn't have been so bad if Mouse had been able to cut the power to the program. But it seemed that there was a virus in her computer, the same problem that had caused the observing machine to get lost. The program had taken a life of its own, swallowing up Mouse's laboratory in to a portal to that terrible world.

Being quite unsure of what to do, she called for help, but no one had responded. It seemed as though the VR world was taking the life out of the real world.

Which is precisely why Mouse found a very angry Anya coming to her the area near her lab, near the portal to the other world.

"What have you done now, that it would drain the very life of my father away?!" Anya demanded, angrily approaching Mouse.

"Ah, Lady Anya. I was expecting you." Mouse smiled. "Perhaps you can help me."

"With what?" Anya asked tartly, glaring at the short woman.

"A problem."

***********************************************************************

Adjusting her brown traveling cloak, Anya readied herself to go through the portal.

"Remember, you need to find the key point of that world and destroy it, or it will continue to drain the life out of this world." Mouse called to Anya over the swirling portal.

"I will." Anya replied shortly, and flew in to the portal.

***********************************************************************

The portal opened on the other side the alley of a large city. Anya came through, and the portal closed, to the stares of people in the alley.

"This is the world the so damaged ours?" She asked herself, taking a moment to become oriented. She flew to the rooftop of a large building, taking in the air from this world while focusing her powers to study it.

"This is not at all an accurate reproduction." Was all she said before flying away once again.

"You're kidding, a new Latin teacher? What was wrong with the last one?" Kitty Pryde was walking to class, along with Kurt Wagner and Scott Summers.

"I don't know, but he was fired yesterday." Kurt answered, "maybe this one will be a better teacher?"

"Yeah, I was flunking Latin. I just don't understand why we have to study a dead language." Scott was saying as they entered the classroom.

"I hear that this teacher is a girl." Kurt stated. "I hope she's cute!"

The classroom buzz settled down as Principal Kelly entered the room.

"As many of you know, you are getting a new teacher today." He paused for no apparent reason. "I'm pleased to introduce Miss Lehnsherr. She'll be teaching you, and I expect you to behave for her." He spoke as she walked in to the room.

Wow, she IS cute! Scott thought, glancing over to Kurt, who was happily studying the woman. She was rather tall for a woman, being taller than Principal Kelly, but well-built. Her form was clothed in garb that teachers did not normally wear: a tank top that appeared to be lined with gold and made out of shiny green scales, plain brown pants and black boots that came up halfway to her knee. The boots were not high-heeled: her height was entirely natural. Her raspberry hair curled to a stop above her shoulders, tied back with a single ribbon at the base of her neck. Her crystal blue eyes shone with an unreadable expression that made the rest of the classroom look dark and dull.

"Good afternoon, class. I hope that we will be able to accomplish much study together." She smiled in a charming manner. Principal Kelly left the classroom, permitting Anya to run the class in her own manner.

"Please take out your textbooks and turn to page 174." She sat down at the desk as Kurt raised his hand, standing up.

"Miss Lehnsherr! I have a question!" He exclaimed. She raised an eyebrow at him.

"What is this question that you see fit to disrupt the class with?" She asked mildly.

"Aren't you going to introduce yourself? I mean... Uh..." Kurt cowered under her cool gaze.

"I believe that Principal Kelly's introduction was enough. However, if you are not satisfied with that, I shall elaborate." She paused, and the chalk behind her elegantly signed her name on the blackboard. "My name in Anya Lehnsherr, though I expect you will all behave in appropriate manner and address me with respect." The chalk sat back down in its place and the eraser swept over the blackboard, clearing it. "Since you are already standing Mr. Wagner, you may start the class by translating pages 174 through 196."

The class snickered while Kurt groaned.

"Begin."
