--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Victoria sat under a tree at her middle school. She pulled her hoodie closer around her face, fearing what might happen if it slipped. The thin girl hoisted her large backpack up onto her back and headed out to her make-do home. she cautiously made her way down the street, looking around all the time.

What if somebody sees me? I'm not like other people, and Bayville isn't exactly the most friendly place anymore, she thought.

When she got to the grocery store, she turned into the alley towards a large box. She pulled off her hood when she got there, revealing a cat/human face. She focused on her mutant ability and quickly shifted into a cat.

At the X-mansion...

Xavier put down his Cerebro helmet. He sent out a mental message to Logan: "Get the van ready. There's a new mutant out in an alley."

The next morning...

"Rise an' shine Sleepin' Beauty. Honestly, Chuck... Is sleeping her power or somethin'?" a gruff voice floated into Victoria's half-awake mind. Her eyes flew open. She saw that the room she was in also held three people, one bald, one short and blue-haired, and a red-headed girl.

"Where am I? Who are you? *sniff sniff* Phoo! Why does it smell like antiseptic in here?" Victoria asked.

Xavier wheeled forwards. "Relax," he said. "You're here in the medical section of our mansion. I'm Professor Charles Xavier and this is Jean and-"

He was cut off, as Victoria was growling at Logan, who was giving her a death glare. Victoria suddenly roared, sprang into the air, shifted into a lioness, and landed on a surprised Logan. Jean used her telekinesis to move Victoria off of him.

"Logan, do you two know each other?" Xavier asked.

"I saw her once when she was a baby, but I knew her father verrrrrrrrry well. Too bad she's takin' after him," Logan replied.

"What do you mean?"

"Her father's aggressive, cold-hearted, always angry, and also a good fighter. So far she's just like him," Logan glanced at Victoria, whose cat ears were flat against her head in anger. She got up and headed to the door.

"Wait, Victoria," Xavier called. Victoria looked back at them.

"There's no way you can keep me in a room with that(censored)!" she pointed at Logan. She then turned and walked out.

I have a bad feeling about this, Jean thought. "Professor," she said. "If she gets lost in the mansion, with that temper, I think she could hurt someone."

"Yes, Jean, you're probably right. Logan, as you seem to know her the most, go follow her." Xavier said. Logan growled and stormed out.

Victoria followed her keen sense of smell upstairs. She was heading to the kitchen( she was obviously famished), when she was intercepted by someone blue and fuzzy.

"Woah!" he said. "I thought I was the only fuzzball around here. I'm Kurt. I don't think the Prof has introduced us yet. Who are you?" Victoria only responded by giving him the same lethal look she had used on Logan. Said man came up to the two of them.

"Okay, Elf. Get away from the cat-girl. She doesn't live here and I'm escortin' her out. C'mon, Victoria," Logan grabbed Victoria's arm and tried to lead her to the door, but she wouldn't move an inch.

"Get yer stinkin' hands offa me, ya filthy creep," she said in a dangerously low voice.

"Woah," Kurt muttered. "That voice sounds very familiar....."

"She sounds familiar because we've met her father before, remember?" Logan told Kurt.

"Mein Gott! Sabertooth?" Kurt looked at Victoria, still being held by Logan, but now appearing more ticked off than before.

"Yup. But, since we don't know where he is, I'm takin' her back to her cardboard box in the alley by the grocery store." Logan tugged on the girl's arm, trying to lead her out. Victoria loudly protested. Kurt made a sad face.

She lives in a cardboard box? Why? Poor girl, she's only about 13 and living on the streets, he thought. He saw that Logan was having trouble with Victoria, so he pried Logan's hand off of Victoria.

"What're ya doin, Elf? Ya can't just let her go! She's just like her father: Angry, cold-hearted, and a good fighter. If she goes off, she could really hurt someone. Is that what you want!" Logan yelled.

"Nein, but I think you've misunderstood her. Think about it. She woke up in a strange place, surrounded by people she doesn't know. And you're scaring her." Kurt replied. He then took Victoria's hand and 'ported them out. As Logan waved away the smoke, he thought about what Kurt had said. Logan then felt something he hadn't felt in a while: guilt.

*BAMPH*

Kurt and Victoria arrived at the alley. Victoria looked down at her hand, which was still being held by Kurt's.

Kurt made Victoria look up at him.

"Are you alright, fraulien?" he asked her. "Logan can be very frightening sometimes."

"I'm fine," Victoria said firmly, even though she was trembling slightly. Kurt noticed this and pulled her into a hug.

"No, I don't think you are. You're very young and you shouldn't live in an alley. You need someone to take are of you." he said softly.

"Well, what am I supposed to do? I don't know where my father is, and my mom hates me, even though she's a mutant herself!" Victoria wailed as tears streamed down her face.

"Who is you're mother? Maybe she'll know where you're father is," Kurt suggested.

"My mother is Raven Darkholme."
