I DON'T OWN ANYTHING, BUT KAT!
It was around midnight when Kat woke up. She looked around the dark room as she got off of the bed. Where the hell am I? She thought to herself. The memories started coming back to her. Kat walked out of the room. Most of the light where off, but that didn't seem to bother her.
Sabertooth and Gambit were outside the gates of the mansion. Gambit looked at Sabertooth confused; Sabertooth glared as he looked down at the Cajun.
"What?" He asked.
"Earlier, Gambit heard da girl call ya her father. Is da girl crazy or are ya her father?" Gambit asked. For once Sabertooth's eyes softened.
"She's not crazy." Sabertooth growled. "I am her father."
"Alright, but if ya be her father, den why is she runnin' away?" Gambit questioned him. Sabertooth glared at him once again.
"That is none of your business!" He growled. Gambit shrugged his shoulders, then took out a deck of cards starting to shuffle them.
It was 1993. Victor Creed was sleeping in a dark room. He rolled on to his side and wrapped his arm around a woman. She had brown skin with black hair. She moved closer to him as she slept. Suddenly thunder sounded outside. Victor opened one eye and chuckled softly as he heard footsteps in the hallway.
Soon the door opened and a little girl came inside the room. She ran up besides the bed and tried to get on, but soon started to fall. Victor turned over and picked her up with one arm. He pulled back the covers and laid her between him and his wife.
"Thank you Daddy." The little girl said.
"Still scared of thunder?" Victor asked. "Huh Kat?" Kat stood up in the bed so she was almost eye level with him.
"I'm not scared of thunder…I just don't like it." She retorted. The woman next to Victor woke up and smiled at the two. Her green eyes looked at her daughter lovingly.
"Honey, don't stand in the bed." She said. Kat sat down as Victor laid back down. He was half asleep when he felt his daughter poke his arm.
"Yes, kitten?" He asked.
"I forgot Mimi." She whispered. "Mimi is scared of the thunder." Victor groaned as he got up and walked out the door. Kat felt her mother wrap a comforting arm around her as thunder sounded again.
"Try to go to sleep honey." Her mother, Alex, said. Kat laid down and waited for her father. Soon Victor came back in with a small stuffed white tiger.
"Thank you Daddy!" Kat said as she hugged his arm and went to sleep.
"Look dere she is." Gambit said, shaking Sabertooth out of his thoughts.
Sabertooth looked up and saw Kat jump over the gate. A few seconds later an alarm went off in the mansion; the two males started their motorcycle sand drove after Kat.
Kat ran down the streets, she soon found herself in the park again. She walked passed a tree to see Gambit shuffling a deck of cards.
"Bonjour." He said. Kat's green eyes glared at him.
"Why can't you people just leave me alone?" Kat asked. She then turned around to see Sabertooth.
"Why are you running?" Sabertooth demanded. Kat just growled at him.
"Just leave me alone." Kat demanded walking passed him. Sabertooth grabbed her arm
"Let go of her bub." Wolverine yelled as he suddenly attacked Sabertooth. Wolverine sent Sabertooth flying into a tree. He then walked back over to Kat. "You alright?"
Sabertooth jumped back up and glared at both of them. "Katherine Alexandra Creed, get your ass over here!" He yelled at Kat. She winced as the other X-Men gasped.
"She's Sabertooth's daughter?" Nightcrawler said.
Wolverine unsheathed his claws as he looked at Kat. "I'm only gonna ask you this once kid…is he your father?" Kat took a step back up nodding at him. Wolverine growled and started to advance on her.
"Wolverine your fight is with Sabertooth. I will not allow you to harm his daughter." Storm said flying down from the sky and landing in-between him and Kat. Sabertooth was suddenly in front of Kat.
"Kat go over to the Cajun." Sabertooth demanded. Storm then left the two grown men, to act like children. Before the two males had a chance to attack one another, Wolverine flew back into a tree. Sabertooth turned around to see Magneto with the rest of the Acolytes.
"Do you have the girl?" Magneto asked. Sabertooth motioned over to Gambit that was when he saw how tired Kat looked. Kat started to sway back and forth before she fainted. Gambit saw this and caught her before the young mutant hit the ground.
"Is she alright mate?" Pyro asked Gambit.
"Oui, she's jus exhausted." Gambit told them. Magneto and Sabertooth walked over to them. Gambit gave Sabertooth his daughter as they walked off.
"What should we do?" Cyclops asked. Storm walked over to them.
"You let them go. The only thing they wanted was Sabertooth's daughter." Storm replied. Wolverine growled as he removed himself from the tree.
"Why the hell did you stop me?" Wolverine demanded. Storm looked at her long time friend.
"Because she had nothing to do with you and Sabertooth." Storm said.
"She's going to grow up to be a killer just like him!" Wolverine yelled.
"You don't know that. She could choose to follow a different path in life." Storm retorted. Wolverine sheathed his claws and walked onto the jet.
The Acolytes had just arrived at their bass. "So where is she going to sleep, cause the other rooms aren't finished yet?" Pyro asked.
Ignoring the young Australian, Sabertooth walked out of the room with Kat in his arms. He walked deeper into the dome like building. Sabertooth soon came to a door and opened it. He walked inside; Sabertooth laid Kat down on the bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. Smelling a change of scenery Kat opened her eyes a little bit.
"Daddy?" She whispered as she looked up at him. Sabertooth nodded and move a lock of blue hair from her face. She tried to sit up, but Sabertooth gently pushed her back down. "Where am I?"
"Just go back to sleep, kitten." He told her. Kat nodded as she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
It was a few hours later when some of the Acolytes were called into the war room. Everyone was there, but Sabertooth.
"Hey, where's cat-man?" Pyro asked. Magneto looked down at him.
"He is not your concern." Magneto told them.
"Let Gambit guess. Da girl is our concern?" Gambit asked. Magneto nodded at the Cajun.
"That girl as you say is Sabertooth's one and only daughter. So in other words, you hurt her in any way, not even I can save you from Sabertooth." Magneto told them. All of the Acolytes nodded.
"Is that all you wanted?" Pyro asked playing with his lighter. Colossus leaned against the wall.
"No; Pyro you are the smallest one here, find some pants and a shirt and put it outside of Sabertooth's door. The rest of you, when she wakes up attack her." Magneto told them. All of them looked at him flabbergasted.
"Wait, didn't you say if we were to hurt her, Sabes would murder us?" Pyro asked. Magneto nodded.
"I want to see how much she knows when it comes to fighting." Magneto told them.
"Where is Sabertooth?" Colossus asked.
"He went to get his daughter some clothes and stuff for her room-"
"Wait, if he's getting her stuff…then why do I have to give her some of my pants and a shirt?" Pyro questioned.
"In case Sabertooth doesn't return in time." Magneto told them.
It was a few minutes later. Kat woke up to find clothes at the foot of her bed. She yawned as she got up. Kat removed her torn-up shirt and replaced it with a baggy red shirt. She then removed her ragged skirt and put on a pair of black baggy jeans. Kat put her boots back on as she walked out the door. The walls were made of metal; her boots echoed down the halls as she walked trying to find a kitchen or a way out.
"Hello." Kat said. Her voice echoed down the hallway. She sighed as she walked. "What kind of idiot would make a hallway out of metal?" After a minute Kat, suddenly heard laughing behind her. She turned around to see Pyro with his lighter.
"Ello, Sheila." Pyro said flipping open the lighter making a dragon out of the fire. Kat swore as she started to run down the hall. She could feel the heat of the fire on the back of her neck. Kat stopped in her tracks when she came to a fire extinguisher.
"You can run, but you can't hide!" Pyro laughed. Kat smiled as she looked at the extinguisher.
"Use in case of Pyro." She read above it. I guess he's Pyro. Kat thought. She held the extinguisher at him and sprayed.
"No fair!" Pyro said getting covered in the thick white foam. Kat dropped it glaring and growling at him. Pyro gave her an uneasy smile as he started to run in the opposite direction. Kat turned into a tiger and started running after him. "Gambit, Colossus save me. Help me, she's gonna kill me mates!"
Kat stopped in her tracks when Pyro ran behind to males, Gambit and Colossus. Colossus turned into his metal form and Gambit started shuffling his cards. Kat turned back into her human form and glared at them.
"Now what do you want with m-" She was cut off when Gambit threw four charged cards at her. Kat simply moved the side and avoided them. She turned into a mountain lion and hissed at them. Kat ran and tackled Gambit to the ground, but Colossus pulled her off of him. She turned back to normal kicking him in the groin. Instead of hurting him she merely hurt her foot. "Metal balls…that's a new one." She muttered to herself.
She turned into an anaconda and wrapped herself around him. Using her enhanced strength she took down Colossus. Kat let go of him when he passed out. She turned into her normal body and looked at Pyro and Gambit.
"Mon dieu." Gambit whispered.
"Crikey, mate; she took down Colossus." Pyro whined in disbelief. Gambit nodded in agreement.
"Gambit saw it, but he still don't believe it." He whispered.
"Which one of you is next?" Kat asked them.
"Take it easy sheila. The boss just wanted to see how much you knew when it comes to fighting." Pyro tried to explain.
"So he had you try to beat me up?" Kat asked.
"Well Gambit's sure dere's more ta it den dat." Gambit told her. Kat merely glared at the two males. When she heard footsteps behind the males. She looked passed them to see Magneto.
"Katherine." He called to her. Kat gave him an annoyed look.
"Who the hell are you and how do you know my name?" She replied. He stopped walked and looked at her.
"Lets just say I 'work' with your father." Magneto told her. Kat gave him an uneasy look.
"Really. What kind of 'work' as you said do you do here?" Kat asked him with a smirk that showed her fangs. Pyro stuck his hand up in the air.
"Oh, oh can I answer? Can I boss?" Pyro asked jumping up and down like he was in first grade. Kat gave him an amused smile. Magneto nodded at the young pyromaniac. "Here at the Acolytes, we help mutants over come the humans."
"So why do you want me on your team?" Kat asked them.
"You have great power, Katherine. The kind of power I could use on my team." Magneto told her. Kat thought about it for a moment before turning and walking away.
"Sorry, but I'm not interested." She said with a smirk. Magneto frowned at her retreating form.
"I'm sorry, but isn't it the humans' fault for a death of someone close to you?" Magneto questioned. Kat stopped dead in her tracks; she turned around glaring at him.
"Shut the hell up!" She growled. Magneto inwardly smiled knowing he hit a soft spot.
"I'm just saying isn't it their fault?" Magneto questioned again. Kat turned into a tiger and ran at him. As she was about to pounce on him, Magneto used Gambit's bo staff and wrapped it around her waist. Kat flew back into a wall and turned back to her human form. "Isn't it?"
Kat looked away from him as she nodded her head. She then looked at him. "I'll join, but only if these things happen."
"What?"
"I want my own room, with my own bathroom." Kat told them. "And if you guys stop following me around." Magneto nodded in agreement. "Then I'll become part of your team."
"Done." He told her. Magneto returned the staff to Gambit and Kat dropped to her feet.
"By the way." She said. Magneto looked down at her.
"Yes." Everyone heard Kat's stomach growl.
"Where's the kitchen?" She asked with a smile. Pyro took her hand and started running down the hall.
"This way!" He said as he ran.
Magneto and Gambit looked down at Colossus. "Exactly what did she do to him?"
"Anaconda." Gambit replied as Colossus started to wake up. "Bonjour Piotr."
"What happened?" He asked as he stood up and reverted to his human form.
"Ya got ya ass kicked." Gambit answered. Suddenly both of them smelled something burning.
"What's that smell?" They both asked. Gambit then remembered Pyro and Kat going to the kitchen.
"Pyro is in da kitchen." Gambit said. The two males started running down the hall. They opened one door and ran through it. There they saw Pyro holding a frying pan with his lighter on under it. He was using his powers to make it cook faster.
Gambit and Colossus glared at Pyro. "Pyro, what have we told ya about using your powers too cook food?" Colossus asked. Pyro sighed and frowned as he turned off his lighter and put the frying pan on the stove. Kat was sitting at the table amused. Pyro sat in front of her.
"Sorry sheila." Pyro said. Kat waved it off.
"He almost poisoned you, with that so called food." Colossus said as he dumped Pyro's concoction in the trashcan. Colossus tied and apron around his waist.
"Um, sorry about the whole trying to strangle you…earlier." Kat apologized.
"It is alright, you did it out of self-defense." Colossus said. He then turned around and stuck his hand out. "My name is Piotr Rasputin."
"Katherine Creed, but I go by Kat." She replied as she shook his hand. Piotr turned back around and started cooking.
"Oh right, my real name is St. John Allerdyce." Pyro grinned, spelling his name out with his lighter. "But you can still call me Pyro." Gambit rolled his eyes as he stuck his hand out.
"Name's Remy LeBeau." He said kissing her hand. Kat nodded from being shocked by his actions.
"So are you really Sabertooth's daughter?" Pyro asked. Kat looked at him weirdly.
"Sabertooth?" Kat asked.
"Dat be Creed's code name." Remy explained. Kat nodded in understanding.
"Well yeah, he's my father." Kat said. "Why's that so hard to believe?"
"Because we know a different Sabertooth then you do." Pyro said. Piotr and Remy nodded. Piotr turned around and looked down at Kat.
"Do you like macaroni?" Piotr asked Kat. She looked up at him and nodded with a big smile.
"It's my favorite, well besides pizza." Kat replied.
Sabertooth parked in the driveway to a house. He turned off his motorcycle and walked up to the house and ran the doorbell; a woman answered it. She had brown skin with dark brown eyes. The woman looked to be in her late thirties. She looked surprised to see him there.
"Well, look what the cat dragged in." She said as let him inside. "I take it that Kat is with you."
"Yes." He told her. She shut the door and nodded.
"I knew this day would come." She sighed.
"Thank you for looking after her, Ebony." Victor said. The woman waved it off.
"Don't be silly, Kat is my niece. I'm just sorry that I had to take care of you and not you." She said as she walked up stairs.
