NOTE: The only edit I made to this chapter was the line brakes.

Enter the X-men. Hope you are enjoying this. Here comes the part my head made up to inspire this story (kind of). I don't own Marvel and I would LOVE some reviews. (Later I will ask your opinion on Kate's hero name!)

The X-men

When I wake up I start running. Running away from, wherever I was. I only go five blocks before I sense another mutant. It wasn't Sabretooth, but I wasn't taking any chances. When I see him I turn left and duck into another alley I look behind me and saw him and two girls entering the alley. The boy had red sunglasses and the older of the two girls had long red hair. Before I take two more steps I trip on a wrench or something and fall, hard.

I roll over as the three mutants reach me and I grab the guys wrist. My vision goes red (which was new, unless his glasses were hiding his power) and they all stumble back.

"I-it's okay. We don't want any trouble," the boy says. "Just turn off the lights if you can."

Cautiously, I let the power fade into my 'collection' or so I call it. "What do you want with me?" I ask.

The redhead walks over to me and puts her hand on my shoulder. "We just want to talk," she says.

"That's exactly what Stryker said," I growl as I grab at her wrist, but she moves away too fast and the other girl takes off her glove and grabs mine.


When I wake up I am in a jet with at least five other mutants. "Where am I?" I ask the man next to me. He looks old, but in a good way.

"We are on the X jet Kate. You have no need to worry. I am Professor Xavier."

"Why did you take me?"

"Normally we don't take young mutants like yourself, but Logan and I looked all over for your parents and there were no record of them in Seattle."

"Where are they?"

"Tell me, Kate. What were you doing in Seattle?" he asks me. When I don't answer, he asks, "Kate, did you run away?"

"NO," I yell and sit up. "Why can't you leave me alone?"

"Kate, did you ever live in Deerfield?"

"Why?" I ask.


"Jean," Professor Xavier says, "Go tell Kitty to meet me in my office."

"Alright Professor," she says and walks out the jet.

"Did you say Kitty?" I ask as he leads me through the building he calls the X mansion. I start to ask him if he meant Kitty Pryde, my best friend before I was kidnapped, when we reach his office. Once inside he offers me a seat and I take it, not realizing how tired I am.

Just then someone walks through the closed door and says, "You called me Professor?"

"Yes Kitty, it seems you and Lance were not the only mutants at Deerfield High."

"Wait! Like who?" she asks. Then she looks over and sees me. "Kate! Like, your alive!"

Hope you are enjoying this. The poll for Kate's X-men name will come out in a couple of chapters.
