Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

DocSlendy; Me too! Cool, thanks for the vote!

Anime PJ; Thank you very much! He does seem to love doing that, though there is a reason behind it, which will be revealed in the future. Yeah, Jason is more, of a thinker than a doer like Scott, hence the clash. Scott rushes in and plays hero, while Jason takes a step back, and thinks about it, though they do have similarities that will be explained in the future, and even shown too. Thanks! Yeah, a few of his powers are more for every day life than fighting purposes, but that's gonna be fun to do too~ Rogue's pretty cool, cannot deny that. And thanks for your opinion! Here's next time!

mslmob12; Yup, I've wanted to do this for a while, just needed some good ideas, toppled with inspiration, which I got, and now here we are~ Thanks, I liked the show when I was younger, and even now I still love it today. Cool, thanks for the vote! They are in some aspects, they'd be great friends if nothing else. I could see that happening actually~

Mr Beaver Buttington; Yes, there are limits, even Jason mentioned everyone has limits, even himself, and one such limit is expressed in this chapter.

hellspam; Cool, thanks for the vote! I could see that happening actually in the future. Thanks! I thought they would be good for different types of situations. He might be able too if he ever gets anything chopped off. Wolverine and Jason are going to have quite the interesting relationship. For the nickname, Logan's gonna have a few for him, though it will be shown soon. Once Jason does become more social, they'll become quite good friends. Hehe, that would be a funny part of the chapter. There will be something like that, that's why Taryn from the first chapter was introduced to having a crush on him, for some conflict and such. Yeah, I think she had something like that with her. That would be nice of him to do. Just imagine the possibilities that could have when they do begin, developing such things for one another.

Cloud4012; Thanks for the vote! I like her too, she's just so cute with her energy and such.

TheHolyKnightX; Thanks! Yeah, wanted to do a story on it for a little while now, and here is my chance, can't wait to do more of it. I'm gonna try and make it quite interesting yeah.

Primevere; Yup, new story indeed~ Something I've wanted to do for a while now. No harem this time no. Kitty is quite popular huh, didn't think that honestly, but here we are~

Ragna; Really? That is quite funny. I believe that he is yeah. He has quite similar powers to her yeah. No, there won't be a DC crossover here. I am thinking of doing The Flash type story in the future. No, it isn't going to be a harem this time. Single pairing, though there will be pairing's among the other characters too like Scott/Jean, Kurt/Amanda and such like that. Well, I'll be doing other things too, other than the show. No, I probably won't be adding things like that here. Maybe I'll do something like that in the future.

Guest 1; He seems to be able to do that quite easily huh. They have a certain something, something going on between them. Yeah, she'll have a part in the story, don't worry about that~ She probably would be quite a positive influence on him yeah. That would be quite funny if she did something like that. He'll have an interesting relationship with them, and it will be shown soon how.

Guest 2; She's quite popular it seems~ Yup, they'll have a unique relationship with Jason, and though it is brief, Jason and Wolverine's relationship is shown to be quite peaceful. They will have a great friendship with one another, later down the road, though this friendship starts quite, different. I could see that actually between them. That would be quite cool actually.

Beelzeboss; Thank you! Yeah, that's the only way he was going to go with her, through bribery. Thanks, I thought his powers would be something unique and quite adaptive to situations yet still he can be beaten in a fight. Hmmm, maybe he could do something like that. She's quite popular among the fans of this story too. She probably would be actually. That actually would be quite the fun idea to do, I could see it happening. Yeah, I could see him wearing something like that~ Thanks for the suggestion~

Soul; Laura huh, she'd be quite, interesting. It would be something unique. If not lovers, then I could see them being something of friends with one another. But yeah, I could see that happening.

Guest 3; Thank you! Glad that you do! Kitty's quite the favourite here too~ He's going to have a backstory which shows the reason why he is what he is and how he acts, and what is implied during this chapter too.

maxbrevan; Thanks very much friend! Erm, I might add them in some capacity in the future yeah. Forge is in X-Men Evolution though, he appears in episode 6 of the first season, and one episode of season two as well. Those are quite a unique bunch, they seem quite cool as well actually~

In Brightest Day; I don't know about me being a wise one, but thanks for the vote!

Guest 4; Cool, thanks for the vote! How I'd do it, there's scenes in this chapter how it would go down.

Guest 5; Oh, I'm glad that I could fill your X-Men needs I guess~

Outlaw; There would be quite some fun moments between the two of them. Hehe, that would be a funny scenario happening. That would be a funny one too, just imagine it happening would be fun. I suppose for a chapter or so, there could be cameos from different marvels characters. Jason meeting Deadpool, would be hilarious. That sounds cool, and yeah, imagine where he does break the stoic to show such things.

Guest 6; Cool, thanks for the vote! Yeah, thank you! I like them anyway. They are gonna be quite close with one another in the future.

Guest 7; Yeah, I just thought that it would be time for me to do it after having an idea for a long time. For the former, I am getting through the necessary chapters before posting them, and for the latter, the second season will be posted within the next month or so, maybe a little longer, I wish to get a few chapters a head for that before beginning.

Guest 8; She is quite awesome, and does have a unique way of speaking. I'll be having some adventures outside the main episodes of the story. Other Marvel characters, I could maybe have some appear for a chapter or so. Quicksilver huh, that would be quite the rivalry they would have. Someone who's always running, vs someone who likes taking life at a steady pace, it is something that would make a good dynamic between the two of them.

Guest 9; Thanks, glad that you did! I thank you for the vote! And yeah, it seems a few people want that as well. I suppose I could do, it would be quite fun and interesting. I can picture that too, it would be funny~

Naroku; Aah, thanks! Here's the next one!

Sandshrew master 317; Thank you! And thanks for the vote!

Guest 10; Thanks! He'll have a healing factor yeah.Seems like most mutants have at least a little bit of one, so Jason will too with the power you said. He could if he really wanted too.

Marvelgirl; Thanks! Glad that his powers went over well with everyone~ They would be quite cute together, huh~? You know, I could see Jason actually seeing both sides of the coin, and agreeing, yet disagreeing with some of the stuff that Charles, and Magneto would be talking about. Those two as ex's...only good/bad things could come from it~ Thanks for the suggestion~

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!


Kitty crawl

"*Snore* *Snore* Munyaaaa…zzzzzzzz…"

Jason right now, was pissed off.

In his room, at night, Kurt was asleep, making much noise in his sleep. His snoring was very loud, and every so often, he'd jump in his bed in his sleep, Jason was sure that Kurt was doing this to him on purpose, trying to wind him up, but apparently, he was just asleep.

Looking towards him, Jason reared back his fist, slamming into the pillow, as he looked at the time, the time showing that it was 2 13 am, a time that he didn't want to be awake in, a time where he thought that he would be asleep by now.

"Kurt…shut up…seriously, shut the hell up right now you blue fur ball…I will come for you hard if you don't keep your mouth quiet…I'm close to coming after you, you do know that, don't you Kurt…? I'm going to get you…"

Since he wasn't like Jean, his thoughts didn't transmit that well.

He tossed, and turned, but Kurt's snoring seemed to be getting louder. Even using his ability to turn into an animal that was hard of hearing didn't seem to help him at all, and his mind couldn't comprehend any animal that was deaf.

Though at this time of night, or early morning, he of course wasn't going to remember such an animal.

"Damn it all to hell…"

Murmuring that out, Jason was tempted to throw something at him, but he knew that if he did, Professor wouldn't be so happy about it. Charles would surely say something negative towards him, but this was getting ridiculous now, he truly was sure that he was going to fall down into a depression like no other.

Of course Kurt didn't hear him, his agony wasn't being conveyed all that well, and right now, Jason was sure that he wasn't going to survive the night, he was sure that his mind was going to break because of all of this going on, Jason didn't like the idea of having to share his room with Kurt for much longer, and hated the fact that he couldn't do anything about it.

Sighing out, Jason lifted his half naked body off the bed, and walked towards the door, attempting to clear his head.

Though, he didn't care that he was half naked, it wasn't like he had anything to hide, he didn't have such a bad body, and the only females in the house had already seen him, the chances of them being awake was minimal at best anyway.

As he made it to the door, he turned to see Kurt sleeping peacefully, mentally cursing Kurt within the confines of his own mind, he surely wasn't going to hold back now if it was someone like Kurt. Though, he couldn't say anything out in the open either.

Once clearing the room, Jason walked down the seemingly lonely corridors, he didn't have to turn the lights on thanks to his ability to see in the dark, thanks to using one certain animals ability to see in the dark.

His powers did come in handy after all. He did have a good ray of abilities to have, and while some were for more practical uses than combat uses, he wasn't complaining. Seeing in the dark usually came in handy when things like this happened.

Since he was awake, he went towards Cerebro, to see if he could watch some videos or something online. He couldn't be bothered opening his laptop, Cerebro wasn't exactly supposed to be used for that, but he didn't much care either.

But when he got there, he was surprised to see the Professor there, with a girl on the screen.

"Professor, I'm surprised that you're up this late."

Charles wasn't startled in the slightest, turning his head to see the young boy walking closer.

"Ah, Jason. You're up late as well."

Jason wished that he could scream, but the Professor was being kind despite the time, so he was alright with anything else that was going on.

"Couldn't sleep, Kurt's snoring is getting to my head." He looked towards the screen to see the girl again. "Katherine Pryde, goes by Kitty huh…a new mutant? She's not a cat, is she? Because I can do cats, I'll just speak with her."

"Seems to be, and no, she's not a cat." Charles agreed and sweatdropped at the same time. "She's just used her ability. Cerebro detected her. The second one in her location in fact, a valuable member of the X-Men if we are able to meet up with her, I am sure. Seems like they both are in Northbrook."

"I see, so I presume you're going to go and reach out to her? Does that mean it is about to gain another member around here?"

While he didn't have a say in the matter, another girl would probably be nice for Jean at least. He himself didn't really have an opinion on the matter. Though, he did seem quite eager to know about what was going on, which was quite unlike Jason himself.

"And it only used to be you, Jean and Scott too. Yes, I do plan to visit this girl quite soon, within the next few hours. Though, I will be waiting until the morning. I am sure that they would have gone back to bed now, being on the same time as we are."

"Of course, I understand. But, you don't think any…rivals of ours are going to show up, right?"

Knowing what he was referring too, Charles had a slightly grim expression.

"We can only be prepared for anything that is to come. Though, for them to know about her seems unlikely…but as I said, we'll have to be prepared for anything."

"Are you going to be taking the entire team?"

At the question, Charles shook his head.

"Midterms are coming up, I couldn't assemble the entire team."

Jason, then actually had an idea, if only to save himself some headache from certain people that he didn't want to deal with.

"I see…say Professor, when you go, can I go with you?"

Charles was actually quite stunned that he asked that suddenly.

"I'm surprised, you never volunteer for a mission."

"Well, it beats midterms, and also, I can sleep on the plane or drive it which is fun~ If nothing else, I wouldn't mind sleeping on the plane, I would enjoy it actually, I would enjoy spending time on the plane anyway…aah, I can imagine sleeping, it would be good."

Charles broke out into a mini laughing fit.

"Haha, I understand. Originally, I was going to ask Jean to come along, but if you're volunteering, I am sure that you can use that English charm of yours on an American girl."

If it wasn't so laughable, Jason swore that Charles was having a joke with him.

"I don't know about charm, but I'd surely do my best if it was for you Professor. Plus, it would get me away from Scott. Guys been riding me for longer than I would like honestly…you know, the day Kurt got here, he was blaming me for kissing Jean, as if I would do that."

The Professor entwined his fingers together, a shine coming off his bald head from the computers light.

"Yes, I did hear about that from Jean. I do wish you'd get along."

"Hey, I'm not the one with the problem…well, that's kind of a lie. But, he jumped to conclusions, he thought I was trying to steal, his girl when I don't even like Jean like that, she was actually trying to set me up with her weirdo friend. At best, we're somewhat friends."

Charles dipped his head, then lifted it up towards the screen to see the girl again.

"Perhaps, having a break from one another would be best."

"My thoughts exactly."

"Then, I'll see you bright and early at seven in the morning, at the hanger."

Jason nodded, walking towards the exit.

The Professor thought that he would've gone left, towards his room, but he surprisingly went right.

"Jason? I said at seven, not now. You've got a few hours yet."

"Oh I know, I'm just going to go and sleep on the couch."

Charles smiled weakly, as he turned around on his wheelchair, and went towards the exit himself.


A few hours later, Jason put on his clothes in his room, shooting death glares towards the empty space that was Kurt's bed, he knew that he would have a problem with this boy, he just knew that he would, he just didn't know how much.

If Kurt was there, he probably would say something.

He was actually surprised that Kurt wasn't there, as he seemed to always sleep in. But no, he wasn't there, and that was a blessing, and a curse at the same time, his neck feeling sore from sleeping on the couch.

He grabbed everything that he thought that he would need, especially his pillow at that.

Once set, Jason strolled towards the door, opening it, only to be surprised when Jean was stood right there, her hand in the knocking position. Taking several seconds to gather his thoughts, he then addressed Jean with a tired face.

"Sup Jean. Ya sure it's alright to be here? Especially with Scott on the warpath. You know, he might think that we're conspiring to go on a date next, after our 'kiss' with one another last time, this time, it might even go further."

Jean placed a hand on her hip as she answered.

"I can handle Scott. But, I just heard, you're going to find a new mutant?"

"Volunteered, and everything."

Jason didn't know if he meant that to sound happy or sad, but it came out as neutral at best.

"Well, I am…"

"Alright Jean, what do you want?"

He could tell that she was anxiously waiting to ask him something, and her to come and see him off was always a bit off to him, they didn't have a good enough relationship for them to be quite this close.

"W-What do you mean?"

She was trying to dance around with her words, but she wasn't fooling him for even a second.

"I know, Jean. It's alright, you can tell me anything, or ask me anything, whatever it is. I don't bite like this, only when I'm a lion or something. Plus, you never come to see me when it is things like this, and unless your friend wants another date, then I know something is off. So, what's going on right now?"

Deducing wasn't so hard to do when he knew her quite well.

Jean puts on a sheepish face.

"I'm sorry…eeh, could I please borrow your car while you're away?"

The request itself was surprising, since she always goes with Scott to school, or is picked up by Duncan. She never asks to borrow his car, especially his newly bought car at the same time either.

"So, you wanna borrow my new baby?"

His voice was low, like he wasn't ready to be separated from the car.

Jean herself could feel the apprehension rolling off him, but she needed the car right now.

"I-I'll treat her well. With midterms today, and something's I have to do after school, Scott's gonna be busy, and Duncan's got after school football practice, and Storm's taken the van, and I can't ask Logan either. So, be a friend and help me out a little bit? I promise not to damage the car or anything."

Jason keenly looked at her, hoping that she didn't have any ulterior motives.

But it was Jean, and she rarely did anything to ever truly piss him off, so she was pretty okay when it came to stuff like this.

Going into his pocket, he fished out the keys, and presented it towards her.

"Now, before I give you the keys. Remember-"

"She doesn't take the cheap stuff, I know."

"And?"

"And if a scratch appears on her body, a scar will appear on me."

"And?"

Jean felt slightly jaded about saying the last one, but she really did need a set of wheels right now.

"Scott's a dunderhead."

The corners of Jason's lips moved up even more than before, even if it was childish, he realty enjoyed the times when things like this happened. Just hearing it out of Jean's mouth, no matter how much she meant it, truly did bring a smile to his lips.

"Good girl." Jason placed the keys in her hand, and then turned towards the right to go towards the hanger. "Well, gotta go. Enjoy her, don't do anything to hurt her spirit, she's a very sensitive car, more than the last one anyway."

"She…doesn't have a spirit…and how do you know she's a girl?"

Jean always found it odd that he called his car 'her' and said that she had feelings, when it was just a car.

"My cars are female because they coincide with me, the male. Harmonizing and all that good stuff. And I know she has a spirit, because she has certain likes, and dislikes." At that moment, a blue haired gruff looking man came strolling past, seemingly having some kind of mission. "Hey Logan, aren't all vehicles a man has female?"

"You got that right bub."

That's the only thing he said before strolling away, not interested in the conversation they were having.

Jean was bewildered, she didn't know of this, and had to admire the fact that he actually went out of his way to bring Logan into it, especially since he was, quite difficult in dealing with, even for people like Jason who didn't really seem to fear much, Logan pretty much was a scary uncle type.

"What does bub mean anyway?"

"We've known Logan for so long, and you're only asking these questions now?"

Jason shrugged his shoulders gently.

"Just something I was curious about is all, you don't have to answer it though." Jean was glad that she didn't. Jason then coughed into his hand, continuing. "It might seem weird to you, but we're not normal either. You can move things with your mind, and I can take on abilities of animals. We're all not normal, that's why I love my car and feel her spirit."

Jean clicked her fingers, and smiled quite dazzlingly.

"Good point Jason. Well, I've gotta run, catch you later."

"Yeah, have a good midterm."

Jean made a solemn look appear on her face.

"Ugh…don't remind me. But thanks again. Enjoy your trip!"

Jason made a faint smile on his face, waving towards her as she ran away.

Jason inhaled some air, and then walked towards the hanger.

However, he didn't manage to get far, as it seemed the fates had something else out for him, and it seemed like Scott was walking towards the dining room, which happened to be the same way the hanger was laid out, at least the elevator was set out.

"Morning sunshine."

Greeting as kindly as he could, there was a bitter feeling in the air, and neither wanted to admit to something like that.

"Yeah…"

Scott didn't really want to talk with Jason, and Jason didn't want to talk with Scott.

They, just had to go the same way. But the meeting was telling on their relationship, at least today, they didn't want to fight. Today, they didn't want to have an argument with one another, they both had things to do, and they were going to do them too.

But then, as they walked, Kurt popped into existence, giving both a fright.

"Geez, don't do that Kurt."

Scott's semi scolding voice, actually appealed to Jason as he didn't want Kurt to do something like that either.

"Sorry, sorry!" Kurt's apology was cut short when he turned towards Jason. "Hey Jason! Since you're going on a mission and all, can I borrow your-"

"Sorry." Jason weighed his hands like scales. "You can't borrow my car."

"Awwww!" Kurt's lips turned into a slight pout. "Y-You can't…you're not even gonna be here to use it!"

"No, I'm not, but someone else is."

Both Scott's eyes, and Kurt's eyes turned suspicious, but it was only Kurt who actually had the guts to ask.

"Who? It can't be Storm, she's already gone."

"No, it's the other female occupant of the house." Scott's eyes intense with slight jealousy, not truly Jason's intentions, but he wasn't bothered either way. "Well, gotta go. Enjoy your midterms, I've got a date with a valley girl."

Scott, and Kurt watched as he tapped into the birds power of flight, and flew away from them, towards the hanger. Scott himself had mixed feelings on the matter, and while he would've driven Jean if she had asked, it was a bitter feeling that she went to borrow Jason's car over asking about his, not realizing about a certain feeling deep inside.


A while later, in the plane itself, Jason and Professor X sat at the front of the cockpit, with Jason taking the helm, enjoying it as he did flips, and zigzagged, Charles wasn't having as much fun as he was right now.

But Jason had fun doing this. Even if he was tired, he immensely enjoyed doing things like this.

"Yeah baby! Too bad I can't take this to school! Imagine everyone's face if I could! Yahoo!"

Jason allowed the planes body to twist around quite fast, fortunately the pair were strapped in, so they didn't vacate their seats. Not that Jason would mind, it would add to the thrill of everything going on, actually.

Charles looked increasingly sick as the plane did more and more tricks that he didn't like.

"Ooh Jason, please don't do that…it makes me nauseous."

Putting on a sheepish smile, Jason steadies the craft, nodding his head.

"Sorry Professor, got a little carried away."

Charles places a hand over his stomach, inhaling a good intake of air. He felt, quite sick right now, but thankfully the shaking had stopped. He almost regretted allowing Jason to take the reins as it were, but he also could see that the boy seemed to be having a good time, even if his face remained neutral.

"That's quite alright, don't worry. But yes, as I was saying. This girl, you have to connect with her parents."

"I hope I can Professor. Parents aren't exactly my thing."

Jason didn't even blink as he said that, his face didn't chance in the slightest. Even if it sounded like he was being coerced into something that he didn't want to be forced into. It, was a hard thing to deal with.

Charles could understand why he said that, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"I have every confidence in you my boy. I didn't just choose you because you asked, I also had to confirm to see where you are when handling, certain people. You know, with your past and dealing with certain…individuals."

"I know Professor. Don't worry, it isn't like I hate adults, just certain ones." A bitter expression formed on his lips. "But how are we handling the other kid Cerebro spied out? The one in the foster home. I think his name was…damn, what was it again…Laura or something…no, that's a girls name so it couldn't be that…"

"Yes." The Professor gets his profile up, on a monitor so they both could see, but wasn't detrimental to Jason's driving. "Lance Alvers. Let me worry about that. I'd like you to focus on Kitty's parents. Remember, you're a model of what we're offering them." Charles lips then curl upwards into a semi smile. "No pressure."

Jason just chuckles awkwardly.

"Right, no pressure. Just gotta convince people I've never met, to help me win their daughter off to strangers. Right, can't see any worry in that."

Jason, truly didn't know how right he really was.


"What are you talking about? How do you know Kitty?"

A middle aged man questioned both Jason, and Charles as they stood, or in Charles case, sat, outside of a family home. It was quite typical, the house. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary there, and there wasn't anything that would tell him that something would be amiss either. Though, Jason could see that the girls Mother seemed suspicious of the pair of them.

"You call your own daughter Kitty, and not Katherine?"

Jason's words were met with a cold stare from both her Mother, and her Father. Feeling a little jaded, he backed away slowly, only to feel the pressure from Charles, so he moved right back to speak with them.

"Yes, that's what she prefers. So, how do you know Kitty again?"

"I'm dating her."

""Pft! S-Secret boyfriend!?""

Both of the parents had wide eyes, even doing spit takes as Charles did a face palm at the same time.

"No, that was a lie…I've been told that telling jokes breaks the ice, did it break the ice?"

Charles smiled very weakly, not sure if they could recover from this.

"…Well, it was quite mind breaking to say the least."

The Mother casually admitted, but still felt apprehension, shared by her husband.

"As we asked before, what's going on here? Why are you here again? And what's your connection to my daughter exactly?"

"Please, may we come in for a moment? We'll answer all your questions."

Jason attempted the direct approach, but the male didn't want any of it, the female seemed to be quite different, almost wanting some answers.

"Excuse me, sir. You can talk to us out here."

Jason could sense that rather than trying to be rude, it was coming off as more…worried than anything. He knew the feeling of worry very much, and when it came to situations such as these, a little finesse was needed, something that he didn't have.

Charles pushed his wheelchair closer, beckoning them to talk with him.

"Very well." His voice was firm, in control. "I think you know Kitty is going through a very unique transition. We simply want to help her through it." Both parents looked to one another, Jason seeing that they were losing them. "Why don't you tell us about last night?"

Something within the girls Father changed, almost a fear of the unknown happened to come upon him.

"Last night is none of your business! Please, just leave us alone."

The man led his wife into the house, shutting the door right in their faces. Jason didn't even blink as he turned towards Charles himself, who looked slightly jaded by the fact that he couldn't actually get her parents to speak with him directly.

"Well, seems like that was a bust, wasn't it Professor."

Charles rasped his fingers together, as Jason tapped into super strength of a strong animal, lifting both him, and the chair, down the stairs, since there was no ramp, Charles having an appreciative look on his face.

"Quite." Charles looked towards Jason as he placed the chair on the ground. "Also, Jason, how about a little recon for me?"

"Me? Recon…uuh, going undercover?"

He really should've known that it was going to come down to this, it always did, and it probably always would when he accepted missions, that's why he rarely ever accepted any mission at all, something he didn't want to do, but in this instance, he knew that he would have to do it.

"You'll need to make contact with Kitty directly, at her school."

"So other words, attempting to get closer to her, right?"

Slowly, Jason was regretting coming on this mission, he didn't want to do it anymore, he didn't think that it would be this difficult if he was honest with himself. But, he'd rather be doing this than midterms right about now.

"Quite right. Use that stunning personality of yours, Jason. Toppled by your, unique charm, I am sure that you'll be able to get close with her."

"My stunning personality boils down to me being quite aloof with everyone, and not caring much about the world around me."

Charles understood this, but he needed Jason to do this regardless.

"Well, try your best regardless."

Jason did a mini salute.

"Aye, aye sir! Leave this to me!"

Charles didn't know if he was attempting to have a joke with him or not. But, Jason's eyes just seemed to be the usual ones, so cool, and calculating, and slightly uncaring. Though he knew Jason more than anyone else, even knowing things, about why he was the way that he was.

"Oh, also…how are you going to find her?"

Jason did a sheepish smile, as he produced what appeared to be a hair scrunchy from his pocket.

"I…kinda napped this from the Mother's pocket while she wasn't looking. I smelt something different, you know, with my dogs nose, and that, and smelt it being different to either of their scents."

"Jason…"

Charles looked disappointed, but Jason seemed uncaring.

"I don't make it a habit to pickpocket, only in emergencies such as these, and I'll be returning it to the girl." Charles couldn't refute that, but still didn't like the idea very well. "Either way, I'm gonna track her down, and attempt to become close with her. Shouldn't be that difficult, after all, I've got a stunning personality."

Charles released a small chuckle from his lips, glad that he had somewhat opened up at least with him. If nothing else, Jason was quite loyal to Charles, for reasons only the pair of them knew about, and wouldn't share openly.


Jason, walked into the halls of the school that Kitty so called attended. The different students made it difficult to track the girl. They all had different scents, some good, some not so good. Kitty's scent itself was pretty good though.

"Hmmm, it seems as I go this way, the scent is getting stronger…she must be around here somewhere…this is ridiculous, me posing as a student of this school, I don't even know what this place is called…good thing I swiped some essentials for later on just in case, in this bag of mine, and good thing that I was able to procure the girls school schedule, who needs mind reading powers."

Jason tapped the schools sports bag on his hip, wading through the sea of students.

Using his dogs tracking ability with scent, he did his best to find the girl.

Though, since this was school, he knew that it wouldn't be so bad for him. He already dealt with one type of school, and to him, everything seemed just the same to him, even the faces of the students seemed to be the same to him as well.

As he was walking, he spotted a girl that Jason could be Kitty.

Jason furrowed his eyebrows, sniffed the scrunchy, then sniffed the air, checking if it was her for sure, and then he confirmed it inside of himself.

"That's her alright, smells quite nice actually…well, at least she doesn't smell like wet dog like Logan does…best not ever tell him that…but yeah, found my target. Time to make contact…ooh God, I might be regretful of this mission now…this is incredibly awkward for me…but breaking into this school is quite easy...well, I am a teenager and all, and a few well placed lies can go a long way...still...whatever, got a mission to do."

Jason knew he had to do it, at least for Charles himself.

As Jason was going to go and make contact, he saw that two girls were behind her, ready to push her into the locker. So, using his speedy animal trait, he rushed and slammed his hand on the locket beside the girl, giving them all frights, the young girl in the pink sweater and blue capris.

"Well now, you girls wouldn't happen to be trying to push her into the locker, would you?"

The girls looked flabbergasted, troubled on how to respond.

The girl, who Jason knew as Kitty, also seemed shocked too.

Jason however leaned forward, and held a small grin on his lips, almost toothy.

"You see, I'm kinda new here, and even I can see bullies. If you don't want me to become…scary, then I suggest leaving the girl alone, so why don't you go and do that? Attempting to push her into the locker for…what reason exactly?"

"I-I, well…"

One of the girls attempted to give an explanation, just feeling embarrassed that they were caught. Not even caring about the fact that he was a new student.

Jason cleared his throat, and then released a roar.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

""AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!""

Because it sounded like a lions roar, which it very well could be thanks to his powers, the females ran away from Kitty and Jason, leaving the pair alone in a pretty deserted part of the school, literally no life being around.

"W-Whoa, that was like, totally sweet! Like how did you did that?"

Kitty cheered, as Jason leaned against the lockers, displaying the best theory he thought a girl would think was cool, since he had to gain her trust in one way or another.

"It's natural, something I can do."

He played it off nonchalantly, not wanting to reveal much about it just yet, not wanting to frighten her either.

"Well, it was cool nonetheless, I was really like, impressed!"

"Well, thank you. The names Jason."

He didn't reveal his last name, he didn't want to reveal anything about it just yet. Not that he had anything to hide either.

"O-Oh, my names Katherine, everyone calls me Kitty though."

"Kitty, like a pretty little kitten. I like it."

His voice slowed down, sounding a little sultry. Even Jason surprised himself with how low it sounded.

Kitty's eyes fluttered, as she stared at him, her cheeks slightly darkening red, never having someone openly 'flirt' with her before.

"S-So, you're new here then?"

"Just transferred today." He fibbed, and lifted his body off the locker. "I've gotten a dilemma though. I'm, supposed to be in gym right now, but for the life of me, I don't know where the changing rooms are, and I'm afraid I've gotten lost."

He knew that she had gym also, having gotten the information from the database, and other places as well. Jason was quite handy when it came to hacking if he needed too.

"Oh really? Me too! Well, not the lost thing, but the gym thing. I'm kinda late myself, but we could go together?"

Proposing that seemed to be the best way of going about it.

"That's brilliant that is."

Kitty melted at his accent, how proper it sounded, how, strong, yet full of confidence, and exuded inviting intentions.

"Y-Yeah…like, follow me."

"Like, okay pretty Kitty."

Kitty's cheeks turned even redder as she pushed her locker door closed, and then walked off together with the young boy towards the changing rooms.

As they walked, Jason kept on his usual face, while Kitty kept looking up at him. she knew that he was slightly older than she was, but still of teen age. However, what captured her the most was his baby blue eyes, how they appealed to her the most, like a sea of blue she could get lost in.

"S-So, where did you transfer from? England?"

Guessing on his accent, that's all she could come up with.

"Perhaps, but I came from Bayville before here. I lived in England long ago, so I've been in America for a little while now…a few years in fact. But those girls from before, what total cows, am I right? Seems like they do things like that a lot?"

That seemed to resonate with her, she could understand that more than anything else right now, especially with the way that he spoke, and how he seemed so calm about it, yet also held a knowing and understanding of everything that he said, word for word connected with her strongly.

"How did you…"

"Bullies, easy to tell apart." His explanation did make sense to her, and as they rounded the corner, they slowly were coming close to the changing rooms. "I wouldn't worry about them. Usually, bullies are small little cowards inside."

"Like, too true."

Kitty surmised, Jason nodding his head, and knew this could be a way to get closer to her.

"Like, it sounds so adorable when you say that."

"D-Don't like…ugh! D-Don't like…ooh God…"

Kitty had trouble trying to control it, but she couldn't.

Jason released a genuine chuckle out of his lips.

"Don't worry, it sounds cute when you say it." Kitty lowered her brows. "By the way, after changing, you wouldn't mind, showing me the way to the field, right? I'd be ever so grateful to you…I, just don't wanna lose sight of my…objective."

Though it was a weird way to put it, Kitty certainly didn't have a problem with it.

"Sure, we could like…walk there together."

"That's…awesome. Can't wait for it."

With that acknowledged, they continued walking together, and talked. Though, it was more Kitty's side, than his own side.

When they reached the changing rooms, Jason leaned against the side of the changing room, and adopted a small smile on his lips.

"Well, seems like this Kitty is more than just a normal cat huh." Kitty giggled gently. "Thanks, I'll make it up to you."

"O-Oh no, you don't have too…"

Kitty was going to reject it, but Jason leaned closer, adopting a kind smile.

"I don't like leaving myself in peoples debt, so I'll make it up to you somehow. It's just my kind of thing. Sorry if it sounds, a little forceful of me, it's just not in me to allow myself to owe someone something."

"W-Well…" Kitty twirled some of her hair in her finger. "I-If you're really serious, then we could do something I guess…like, we could…" Jason's lips turned upwards as her own trembled. "I-I said it again, didn't I…?"

"It doesn't matter, it's really cute of you. Like, I find it very cute of you to say something like that."

Jason's words sounded like music to her ears. After the night she had, just being with someone that was, normal seemed to be nice, and he wasn't that bad on the eyes either. Plus, he managed to scare off her bullies, so that was a plus in his eyes.

Jason then leaned closer, and adopted a small smile.

"So, I'll meet you out here, right?"

Kitty attempted to collect herself, but it was quite difficult for her to do something of this nature.

"S-Sure, like totally…it would be great."

"Cool, then catch you sooner rather than later Kitty cat."

Kitty just stared longingly, as he entered the room, leaving her outside to contemplate what had just happened.

She slowly moved back, encouraging herself that today, maybe wasn't going to be such a bad day.

Maybe, after all the weirdness of the day, something good was going to come off it.

Sure, she had a rocky start, but things were soon cheering up. She met a nice boy, if only quiet, though seemed more genuine than most people she had met thus far.

However, that was soon going to come to an end, when the bathroom door came swinging open for her.

"Aaagh!"

She released a cry and put her hands out…but, something else happened.

Rather than stop the door, her body, simply went through the door as if it wasn't there. She, phased through the door, and awaiting on the other side, was a boy with longish brown hair, and a punk like clothing, bewildered.

"W-Whoa, did you see what you just did!?"

Kitty backed away, frightened of what she just did, and more importantly, what he just saw, and what he was going to think of her, it was important for her to do something like not be a freak at all, but now this was happening, she didn't know what to do.

"I-I didn't do anything!" She denied the accusation, and pushed herself away. "I-I just stepped around the door!"

"No man, you fell through the door! That was radical!"

She didn't want to deal with this person, turning away from him, and attempted to walk away.

"Y-You're crazy!"

"No, no!" He grabs Kitty's arm, stopping her from moving. "Wait, don't run away! If anything, I understand the beauty of it all! Cause, you're just like me!" Kitty gives him an incredulous look, not believing him. "Alright then." He looks around, seeing no one was there, and then tightens his hands, then thrusted them forward. "Watch this!"

Kitty just stared at him, but then, something else happened…

The ground, began shaking as he grunted.

Kitty naturally was freaked out about what was going on.

The lockers against the walls opened because of the shaking, different stiff that kids usually have in their lockers came out, including that of books, and other stuff to do with that as well, shocking Kitty even more.

When he stopped, he put his hand out towards her, but she batted it away from her, not wanting to deal with it.

"N-No! Stay away from me! I-I don't know what you even are!"

Kitty turned away, and ran as fast as she could do. The boy though, just smirked, and thought of something, something that could change the very way that he would set about his plans for the future.

However, the boy was unaware that Jason looked on, and held a small glare within his eyes.

"So, that's Lance, is it? Seems like the bad boy that no one desires. This might get complicated, Professor. With Kitty the way she is, revealing myself to be a mutant might be more, difficult than it should be. Well, the Professor wishes for her to be apart of the team, and I shall do my best."

Jason tightened his fist, and then left to get changed.


[And one, two.]

On the field that was being used for physical education, kids did their activities, given to them by the coach, a female of a certain age, an age that shouldn't be talked about either. Kitty, and Jason now dressed for the physical education section of the day, he truly looked to be having fun.

"So, pretty Kitty, what's got you so spooked?"

Noticing that Kitty seemed slightly, Kitty looked towards him, a sheepish look on her face.

"It's…nothing, just some jerk from before."

"A jerk huh…I know of them alright. Don't worry, they usually go away if you don't give them any recognition."

"Hehe, just having one of those days…say, Jason…have you ever felt…"

"Pryde!"

Before she could finish, the coach called her over, Jason following after her.

"Hey, Amy."

"Check who's here."

The girls from before saw Kitty and Jason walking. When Jason noticed them, he allowed a smirk on his face, which instilled fear into them.

"Pryde, you're late."

Kitty held her head down, but before she could answer, Jason did it himself.

"Sorry about that coach, that's my fault. I'm a transfer, and she helped me find my way. Please don't blame her for anything."

The female coach stroked her chin dutifully.

"I see, so that's how it is. Well, if she was helping out a student, then I can't say anything. But, I didn't know that we had a transfer."

Jason didn't lose his composure for even a second, as he answered normally.

"I seem to be getting that a lot. Even the office seemed confused, my papers mustn't of been sent or something."

"Well, either way, it seems like you're here now. So, you, and you three too the long jump. Since you're new here, would you like to go first?"

Jason put on a fake bashful face, and held his hands to his face.

"I couldn't possibly do something like that~ But, if you really insist, then I suppose that I could do it~"

Jason walked over to the long jump area, tapping into an animals power that would allow him to jump higher. Admittingly, it wasn't something Professor would approve of, but in his eyes, he deemed it necessary to do something like this now.

"Well, when you're ready."

"Kay! You got it couch!"

His demeanour changed, as he changed into a cat type. He figured that he would only need a slight boast in jumping, and cats, can jump a little higher than normal people, so it worked out well for him. But, it did give him the tendencies to slack off like a cat, also some hyper feelings when ready to perform tasks too.

Jason set himself up, and then rushed forward, jumping at the appropriate time.

His body went through the air, managing to do a flip at the same time as he did so, impressing the locals around. When he landed at the end, he turned around as he put his hands upwards, and then bowed his head.

"W-Well…that was quite impressive…erm…"

"The names Jason coach!"

Jason licked his hand as if it was a paw, then brushed his head like he was cleaning himself, an aspect of the cat that he didn't like. But Kitty put her hands together, and breathed out "Awwwwww that's adorable~" as the other mean girls had to admit that it was adorable too.

Jason walked back towards Kitty, and gave a gentle smile.

"That was quite fun, huh."

"Wow, I didn't know you could do something like that. You must be a real athlete."

Jason waved his hand sideways.

"Well, I guess that you could say that. Or, maybe I'm just in touch with my inner animal."

"Pryde, it's your turn."

Kitty made a clueless face, as the coach directs her towards the jumping area.

Though Kitty wasn't the best, she had to at least try, and that's what she did.

She ran forward a few paces, but lost her balance, ending up planting her face right into the dirt.

Jason grimaced, as the two girls laughed from behind him, going to her side, and helping her up, seeing her frustrations on her face.

"You okay Kitty?"

"Ugggggggh! I'm not good at this stuff!"

She slapped the sand, then Jason helped her up to her feet.

"Everyone has strengths, and weaknesses, don't worry so much about it."

"You seemed to do it…"

"That's because I've got a certain, gift for athletics. We've all got, different gifts, don't worry."

Kitty didn't know what that meant, but allowed him to lead her off the field.

"Meow! Kitty-cat's got a real balance problem."

One of the mean girls laughed out, as Jason's eyes fell on them.

As soon as they did, they felt cold within their bodies, and withdrew their previous statements, not wanting to be worried, or afraid, or even attacked either.

"Take notes, Pryde. This is how athletes do it."

The other mean girl ran forward, and jumped at the same time, but suddenly, in mid-air, Jason saw that the sand came up as if by some force, forcing the young girls body up, and then she fell down to the ground.

Jason felt suspicions come to him, and looked for the source, not realizing that Kitty was doing the same. Using his eyes, he saw a figure on the roof, waving towards him…no, he was waving towards Kitty.

Turning his neck to the side, he saw Kitty's eyes widen, and then she ran off.

"Kitty wait!"

Despite his words, she ran off anyway, seemingly afraid of something, or someone.

Knowing that the Professor was going to do it anyway, he ran off towards her, so he could see what was going on with her.


"No…damn it all..."

Kitty wondered off into the drama room, on a stage in fact. Since she came in the back way, she was already on the stage.

Seeing a table, and chair in front of her, the table having a bowl and some fake fruits on it, she went towards the chair, and kicked it off the stage, attempting to control her rage, but it slowly was building up by the second.

She then went to sit down on the table, but she positioned her body in a way that the table actually came upwards from behind, the bowl falling off the table.

"Aaah!"

Kitty jumped, and went to grab the bowl, but like before with the door, her hands went right through, giving her quite the shock, the same time as Jason entered the room, from the formal entrance that people usually used, seeing her display of powers, impressed that she could actually do something like that.

As the bowl fell down to the floor, Kitty put out her finger, pushing it against the bowl to see if her fingers were going to go through, a frightened look on her face. But, when her fingers didn't go through, she looked relieved.

Picking up the stuff, she placed it on the table and walked over to a nearby wall.

"Kitty… Kitty, are you all right?"

Jason asked, seeing Kitty leaning against the back of a what appeared to be a staging production area. She held up what appeared to be a mask that one would use on a stage, and held embarrassed, frustration, and even sadness on her face too.

"I had nothing to do with what happened in the sandpit."

She didn't want the attention on her, not wanting to be blamed for anything, not that he would do that though.

"I know." His gentle words seemed surprising to her, as he made it to the stage, walking up it without a worry. "Kitty. There's no need for masks." He paused, then took a deep breath, and revealed, as she took the mask off her face. "I know what's going on."

"You don't know anything!" She barked back, Jason just staring at her with a mixture of tiredness, and understanding. "And neither does that creepy guy out there!"

It took Jason a second to remember the guys name, then his lips curled upwards.

"Lance? Forget about him, he's a weirdo anyway."

"Well maybe…but still…"

Kitty wasn't sure what to think now. With Lance being as he was, and her own thoughts, she felt confused, even scared.

"Your…erm…how would the Professor…right, gift. That. Your gift, something that you have inside, something that not many people have…your powers."

"Powers…wait, how do you…"

"I saw you, your hand went through that bowl." Kitty's eyes widened in shock, even slight terror too. "You don't have to be afraid."

He attempted to be calm, wanting her to only understand, but it seemed difficult with her state of mind being, as it was.

"Look, I don't want any of this!" Snapping at him, it didn't even make him jitter. "It's, like, hard enough just being normal, you know?"

"I know that. But normal is whatever you perceive as normal."

"Maybe I don't perceive this as normal…I mean, why aren't you more, like I don't know, shocked? You…if you did or not, saw my hand go through something. Can't you see that? It's not normal at all I tell you!"

Jason put up his hands in self defence, then slowly, his body rose up, off the ground.

There was no point in hiding it now, and showed his ability of flight, Kitty's eyes turning to devastation.

"See, I have powers as well."

"B-But you…"

"The same way you can pass through walls. Just like you, one morning I woke up and I had this power. And trust me, I hated it too. I still kinda do actually."

"I don't believe you! This is a trick! No."

Kitty wanted to deny it, but Jason flew closer to her, giving her the kindest look he could muster. He didn't know why, but he wanted too, be kind, he wanted too, he even didn't know. Something about her being devastated, he didn't like, and he wasn't even sure why that was either, it seemed nonsensical to him that he would even be in a predicament like this.

"It isn't a trick, it is my ability. Like on the jumping thing…eeh, long jump. There, you wondered how I could jump so well? The truth is, I used my power to help me. On my own, I could never be that athletically inclined."

"So…you've got powers…a-and you used them…wait, when you first met me, did you know of my powers then?" Jason looked down to the ground as he returned to said ground. "You did…didn't you? Did you…plan this out…? Our meeting…did you…pretend to be lost…?"

Jason looked up to see the hurt in her eyes, and even held some tears.

He didn't think she would be that affected by it. It wasn't like they had spent the entire day together. But still, it seemed like Kitty was quite upset with him, and when people were upset with him, he usually didn't care. But this time…he did.

"Our meeting was planned out, yeah." Kitty put a hand to her mouth, choking back a small sob. "That's because…Kitty, I…hmmmm, you see, I am quite like you…I have these powers too…and it might seem scary, but you know-"

"Go away!" She screamed, bolting for the door. "Don't come near me you liar!"

"Kitty, wait!"

However, she didn't wait, and ran out of the door.

Jason was about to chase after her, when he felt something touch his shoulder.

Turning, he saw that it was Lance, having a menacing look in his eyes, though Jason didn't even seem to care that much.

"Piece of advice, blondie. I'm the only friend that girl's gonna need. And I'll be teaching her what's what. So, you just back yourself off."

Jason got a threat, even the ground shook slightly. Perhaps it was Lance's own emotions that swayed his powers, but it didn't matter to Jason that he could do something like that. He could fly, the power to affect the ground didn't cause him any distress.

"I'm not afraid of you Lance, and if you try and, rock my world, then I'll rock yours, in a bad way. I know that you have the power to create quakes, and such, but that doesn't frighten me. A piece of advice to you, is to leave that girl alone."

Lance didn't even appear threatened by the young boy, and just smirked.

"If that's how you feel then, I can't say anything. But just let's get it straight. The girls with me, got it?"

"If you say so."

Lance smirked, and then left the area.

As soon as he did, Jason took his phone out of his pocket, checked that no one was around, and then dialled his number.

"Hey, Professor." Jason spoke, hearing the Professor answering the phone. "It seems like this is gonna be a little more…problematic than we first thought it would be."

[What do you mean?]

Jason didn't have a good way of putting this, so he could only do it in the bad way.

"Well, I befriended her, like you said. And well…she just found out I'm a mutant, and kinda lied to her, and now she's all pissed off at me, and Lance is threatening me, and seems to want to get to Kitty for some reason. And before you say it, no…this isn't my fault. I didn't do anything about this, I just did what I thought was the best, and then stuff went like this, I blame society for this…somehow anyway…it seems like it."

[Sounds like Lance could be trouble. If he bonds with Kitty, we may not be able to reach her.]

"I agree. He's clearly a bad egg, way worse than me. Knowing him, he'll probably want to abuse her powers in someway."

[You have to stay with it, Jason. I don't want to lose her. Whatever obstacles get in the way, remember they can be overcome. Xavier out.]

Jason, didn't exactly feel good about that, he really didn't feel good.

"Easier said than done Prof."

Sighing out, Jason put down his phone, and went to search for Kitty.


Meanwhile, as that was going on, Jean was cruising around in Jason's car.

The windows were down, the music from the stereo was blasting, and she even did something quite unlike Jean, and wore some sunglasses on the top of her head. The sun shone down from the heavens above, and the road was pretty open, all in all, a good place for her to drive.

"I can see why he loves this car…oooh the seats alone feel good…"

Jean truly was having a good time.

Though she didn't have any destination in mind per-say, and she hadn't seen Scott, or Kurt in a little while, she just drove towards the town, and maybe going to the cd shop so she could go and get the cd she promised Jason.

But right now, that didn't seem to matter.

She was enjoying her ride too much, she didn't want to give that up either.

But then, she heard the song that came on the radio, a song by one of her favourite artists, slapping the steering wheel, and appreciated the car all the same, even more so than she did before, it sounded great in the car.

"Ooh yeah~ I've gotta borrow this car more often!"

Jean had a blast.

Though she wasn't really a car person, Jason's car was something she enjoyed. She loved the feeling of everything that she was going through. It truly was something that she was enjoying, and she wasn't going to stop enjoying it either.

But then, tragedy struck.

"Aaaaah!"

She didn't see it coming until the last second, swerving out of the way…but the mirror on the side of the car broke off, and she heard a beeping of another car too.

Looking towards the one who did it, she saw that it was Scott that had done it, and her eyes widened in pure terror. It was made more apparent that the mirror was broken clean off, and probably had some scrapes on the side too.

Getting out of the car, she walked towards Scott's paused car, and saw Kurt there too.

"Scott, what the…w-why are you here…?"

It took Scott a few moments to collect himself, tilting his head to match her own.

"Logan's in trouble!" He hurriedly said, but then saw the grim expression on her face. "W-What is it Jean?"

She pointed backwards towards the car.

Looking at the damages, both Kurt, and Scott grimaced.

""Ooh crap…this is gonna be scarier than Logan…""

Jean put a hand to her mouth, not wanting to cry, but felt like she was going to cry. This, was something that she didn't think that she would have to deal with…but, she was now, she knew that she would have to do this.

"Oh no…Jason! It was Scott!"

"Jean!"

Jean turned her worried eyes towards Scott.

"Scott…w-we've got to fix this before he gets back…r-right…?"

Nodding towards her, Scott hopped out of the car, resting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry Jean, we've got this now. We'll sort out the car…especially after everything is going on…oooh, I can't handle it…Jean, we have to do something…ooh, after helping Logan!"

"Logan?" She parroted. "What's going on?"

Kurt clicked his fingers together, becoming hastily.

"No time! We've gotta go!"

"Right." Jean changed demeanour, becoming more serious. "Let's go."

Jean got back into the car, after grabbing the broken mirror and putting it into the car…she didn't want to die.


It took around ten minutes to find Kitty.

He searched for her using his power once getting changed into normal clothes, sniffing the air for everything that he could need, and used the same thing he did before to track her, and finally did find her, sitting down outside of the school, on the steps, overlooking the street before her.

The expression on her face told him everything he needed to know, and he didn't like that she had such expressions on her face.

"Hey there, Kitty."

Greeting casually, she turned towards him with a pained expression.

"Go away…"

She dismissed him, but she wouldn't do something like that.

"Sorry, can't do that." He plopped a seat next to her, so she shuffled away. "Look, about earlier…yeah, I must've freaked you out, huh. I'm sorry about that, I…well, I did mean to deceive you actually."

"Wow, someone admitting that they actually wanted to do that. Like that's, incredible."

To Jason, it sounded like she was being sarcastic, and honestly, he couldn't blame her either.

"Hey, no need to be sarcastic."

"I wasn't." She explained. "I, actually was trying to be…I don't know…my head is so confused. I feel sick. Everything's changed, it keeps changing. I've found out that I'm like a freak or something-"

"You're not a freak."

"Then, what am I!?"

Jason took a breath, and inched closer.

"You're the girl that helped me find my way when I didn't know where to go."

"That was a lie…"

"Maybe it was, but you still helped me. You didn't need to, I was just some stranger at that point to you. Even now…"

Kitty collected her thoughts, and then addressed him.

"Is Jason even your real name?"

"It is, that's not a lie."

Gently explaining that to her, she looked at him with a perplexed face.

"Then…what am I…?"

"You're just a girl, like everyone else. The only difference is, you've got a superpower. You can, go through walls. The mechanics behind it would take a little while to explain, but you've got a certain, gene inside of you, that makes you, different to others, gives you powers. My power itself is to have different abilities from animals, and you apparently can defy the laws of physics...is that physics...whatever, yeah you can do that, and phase through solid objects."

Kitty held a hand to her mouth, giggling sweetly.

"D-Don't think I'm gonna trust you…"

"I'd be worried if you did fully trust me. I lied to you, I don't have an excuse. That's my bad, and that's something I'll have to live with. You see, my Professor, runs a certain, school, that helps people like us with powers."

"There's like others?"

Jason's lips curled upwards.

"That's right. There are others. There are all around the world, people like us. And if you give me an hour, to convince you to come with us, then I'd be appreciative. If, after that hour, I just convince you that I'm a nut, then I'll leave you alone, I promise."

An hour of her life, didn't seem bad. And she had to admit that she was curious about how to use her powers. If only for that reason, she was going to listen to what he had to say. But, she still wasn't fully convinced.

"Alright then…so, how do I control my powers?"

"Come with me, I'll help you."

Jason got off the stairs, and offered his hand towards her.

Kitty looked at him…this day truly was confusing for her. She, didn't think that she would be in these kind of situations. But, it wasn't going to be so bad to just follow him. If she could just follow him, then she would be able to find some stuff.

Accepting her destiny, she took his hand, and together they walked off.


Around fifty minutes later, Jason and Kitty walked around towards a deserted park of the school. Around the back, near the office of the school, so they could do things, and be alone. Things, to do with their powers.

"So, you're like, animal man, there's a boy with eye lasers, there's another boy that can teleport, and there's a girl that can move things with her mind, and even read minds as well? Am I right there…?"

"That's right, that's the gist of it. Those are the students so far, and you could be one of them."

Kitty furrowed her eyebrows, not sure what she was supposed to think.

"It seems too good to be true."

"I thought the same before I got to know the Professor. He's like the Dad of the group, he's really cool, and sometimes if you're really good, you get a cookie~."

"We really get cookies?"

Jason smiled even more than he usually did, some reason he didn't know.

"Sometimes yeah. And I know…it seems insane of what is happening. Your powers, they just come from nowhere, right? Maybe you had a dream or something? I remember when I first became aware of my powers, I had dreams that weren't normal."

"A dream…I had a dream of falling last night, and…I fell through the floor to the basement."

Jason guessed that she would have a dream like that.

"Right, that makes sense. So, do you want to try your powers?"

Jason asked, as Kitty looked at him curiously.

"Sure! W-What do I do?"

Jason looked around, and then saw a tree.

"Try and go through that tree." He ran over to the tree, and beckoned her over. "Come on, give it a try. All you have to do is believe…I know that sounds cliché and such, but you don't have to worry Kitty. I'm right here. And no one's around. It's alright."

Just hearing that gave her the confidence to carry on.

Slowly, Kitty touched the tree, and then concentrated. Then, her hand went through the tree, surprising herself. More and more of her body went through the trees, and she gained confidence by the second.

Once getting through the tree, Jason who was on the other side gained a gentle smile.

"See? You did it."

"Yes!" Kitty hugged onto Jason's body, as he felt complicated. "Aaha! Thank you Jason! Really! This is so cool! Like, I could pretty much do anything now!"

"I dunno about anything, but you could use your powers in a few different ways." Jason stopped as he sniffed the air. "We've got company, your old buddy Lance."

"L-Lance is here?"

Jason looked left, as Kitty did the same thing.

It took about half a minute for him to come out, but that's what he did, and looked pissed off with Jason.

"What did I say about staying away from her?"

"Sorry, I've never listened to orders before, unless you're someone I respect, and you're not someone I respect, sorry."

He looked nonchalantly, Lance then looking towards Kitty.

"Hey Kitty, don't listen to him. He's only trying to get you into their weirdo club. You don't need them, stick with me. I'll help you use your powers the right way."

"You mean for breaking things, and probably becoming a jewel thief, yeah."

Lance clicked his tongue, clearly frustrated.

"I've just had about enough of you!"

Lance placed his hand outwards, and his eyes rolled into the back of his head. Around the area, the landscape began to shake, Lance's powers activating, and Jason knew exactly where they were going, right for him.

"Get out the way!"

Jason pushed Kitty away just in time for his body to fall down into a hole that Lance made, trapping his body down into the earth and it closed up above his head, not having time to save both him and Kitty with flying so chose to save Kitty instead.

Kitty's eyes widened in horror, as Lance's own eyes turned very happy, like he was having his Birthday.

"Jason…Jason!" Kitty called, but there was no reply. "H-Hey! Jason! C-Come on! Come out already!"

Kitty went to rush towards the area he was in, but Lance had made it to Kitty, grasping her forearm so she couldn't leave.

"Wait a second Kitty, you don't need him. Come with me."

"N-No! Let go of me!"

Kitty attempted to get away from Lance, but he was stronger than she was, keeping her wrists tightly together.

"Now, come on Kitty. Don't be mean, come and help me break into the office."

"No! Go away!"

Kitty, using her powers, phased her wrists out of the boys grasp, and put distance between them.

"Kitty, don't-"

As Lance was about to finish, Jason burrowed out of the earth, pulling himself out of the ground, and then stood up tall. Kitty looked relieved, Lance looking pissed off, Jason himself groaned as the light touched him.

"Stupid light…can't see much like this…" Jason took a breath, turning his power into strength. "That's better."

"H-How did you!?"

Lance didn't know of Jason's powers, not really. So, he didn't know how the heck Jason actually did something like that.

While having a cool expression, Jason explained.

"I used the moles power of burrowing. To be honest, I was a little worried for a few moments. But then, I heard that Kitty was in trouble, so I couldn't stay silent either. So, I came up here. Gotta admit though, burrowing from the earth upwards. I've always been going down first. But either way, I don't think that you should stay near Kitty anymore."

"Then, let's rock!"

Lance put his hands out, and was about to activate his powers, when Jason charged for him, shoulder barging him, and then he went through the window to the schools office, Jason grimacing at the sight.

"Oops…shouldn't of used rhino strength huh…"

"You're okay!"

Kitty once again hugged onto him, Jason didn't know how to feel about that.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry. Oh, I best go and make sure that Lance in there isn't dead…Professor would kill me."

Before Kitty could reply, Jason tapped into the birds flight and flew towards the window.

Not wanting to be left behind, Kitty rushed for the building, phasing through the walls.

Getting inside of the office, she saw that Lance was on his feet, though looked dizzy. Jason stood near the door, and Kitty was closest to Lance, seeing a stand off between the two of them, like two animals about to fight.

"Lucky shot."

Lance guffawed.

"Luck didn't have anything to do with it. Now, if you want to fight, I don't mind. I've never fought anyone with such…shaking powers before, it does seem interesting to say the least."

Lance glared towards Jason who took a few steps closer, releasing a small growling sound.

Lance, didn't want to deal with that, not wanting to be pushed with such strength again, so he did the only thing that he could, turning towards Kitty, and lunged for her, Kitty being in surprise, and couldn't react in time.

"Whoa! Whoa! What are you doing!?"

Kitty demanded when he grabbed her wrists, and the boy himself just showed a slight smile.

"Come on, Kitty."

Kitty once again struggled with the young man, as Jason heard some sounds coming from down the corridor, thanks to his hearing, him being in a dog form right now, believing that it would be the best form to use.

Going to the door, Jason changed into the gorilla mode, grasping the handle, and then ripped the door open, to reveal Kitty's parents. Her Father, and Mother rushed through the door, the Mother staying near Jason, as the Father rushed closer, near a bookshelf.

"Let go of my daughter!"

Jason looked towards the elder man with a renewed sense of feelings, due to how he was standing up to someone that had powers, he presumed that he knew that Lance had powers, based off the shaking from before.

"Far enough, old man!"

Lance activated his shaking ability, causing the bookshelf near him to fall. But before it could Jason used his enhanced strength to force it away from him and looked towards Kitty, the girl being dragged away by Lance.

"No, stop!"

"They're just gonna confuse you, Kitty." He lied to her, and then placed his hand towards a nearby wall, still holding onto her arm tightly. "We're out of here!"

"Kitty, please." The Mother pleaded, standing near her husband. "We can work through this together."

"Let go of me!"

Once again, Kitty demanded, but Lance didn't want to hear any of it, continuing to use his powers.

"We're in control now. We make our own way."

As he said that, the wall crumbled down, big enough for a body or two to fit through.

Kitty's Father placed out his hands, wanting Kitty to stop moving.

"Kitty, I've pushed you to this, I know. I wanted to pretend nothing was wrong. I'm not perfect. I'm learning. Just like you are."

Kitty's eyes turned teary as Jason moved closer and closer, fully intending to stop the man before he could take Kitty away from her parents, knowing that he wouldn't take no for an answer anyway.

"Daddy?"

How gentle her words were, and how tender her tears were, told Jason that this was a true family, something he wished he could have again.

"Forget them! Come on! I'm bringing this place down!"

Lance tightened his hands, and pushed more of his power around him. Jason peered upwards, seeing the roof was going to gave in, and the parents didn't have any defence against that, huddling together on the ground, so he used his strength of an elephant to use a combination of precise timed kicks, and punches, smashing through the roof that fell, protecting the parents from suffering any injury.

"Kitty, you told me that you might be a freak now, and I said that you're an ordinary girl. Well, that's not quite right. You're not really ordinary at all. An ordinary girl, is different to you. You're kind, sweet, and kinda weird too." Kitty frowned at that last one, but Jason continued while jumping, and doing a propeller like kick, smashing some of the roof away from Kitty's parents. "But most of all, your parents love you. Don't…allow Lance to take that away…trust me, a parents love is…very precious."

Those words, touched Kitty more than she thought they would, bringing more tears to her eyes.

"Please, Kitty. Listen to him!"

Kitty's Mother pleaded harder than before, as Jason did some karate like movements, smashing some of the roof away from the parents, wishing Kitty would make a choice, not wanting her to go with Lance, but if he moved, then the parents would be crushed.

Kitty's Father took in a deep breath, speaking sincerely.

"Sweetheart, we love you."

Lance seemed to be angered by that, but even Jason didn't know why either.

"They're too late! You're with me now!"

Kitty used her power this time, snatching her hand out of Lance's, phasing right through it.

"No! I'm not!"

Changing direction, she briskly walked over to her parents, as Lance ground his teeth together.

That however reacted to his emotions, and the building came down even more, a huge chunk of rubble falling right on top of Kitty's body, her parents looking on, extreme amounts of fear dancing within their eyes, Lance using this time to get out of there, Jason murmuring "Coward." and then looked towards the place Kitty was briefly, before continuing to protect her parents.

"No! Kitty."

The wife hugged onto her husband very tightly, a sob or two expressing her mouth.

"My little girl."

Even Kitty's Father looked like he was going to break down in tears.

Jason didn't know how to feel about it. Of course he was sad, and he couldn't use another ability right now to smell her out, to see if she was alive or not. That was, also a limitation on his powers. If he tried to use more than one aspect of an animal at the same time, it was be quite difficult, more strenuous on his psyche.

However, just as the parents were giving up hopes, Kitty's body phased through the rubble that crushed her, relief dancing through the Mother's and Father's eyes, even Jason seemed to be relieved as well.

"Kitty."

"Oh, Kitty."

Kitty came up to her parents, hugging them tightly, as Jason looked on, and secretly wished that he could have a moment like that. A single moment with family. Something, he wouldn't be able to have.

"Erm, not to cut into family reunion, but could you maybe…I don't know, get us out of here pretty Kitty before I get crushed again? And you three of course, but I've already been buried once today, I don't want to do that again."

Kitty gave a sheepish look to her face, nodding her head.

"Okay. Like, everybody grab onto me. I'll get us out."

Nodding at her, everyone took a hold of Kitty, her parents holding onto her shoulders, while Kitty and Jason naturally just held hands, without even realizing, then they walked forward together, escaping the crumbling down building.

Once getting out of the building, Charles was waiting outside, looking towards each of them. Seeing Jason, he tilted his head up, as the young boy gave a thumbs up, a relieved look on his face at the same time as being on Charles too.

"Yes, Kitty." Charles spoke, as they neared them, Jason breaking hands with Kitty, and placed a hand on the back of Charles wheelchair. "It is a gift. And you've used it well."

Kitty turned to her Mother, and then hugged onto her.

"Mom, I'm so sorry." She didn't even need to apologize to her, the Mother already forgiving her. She then turned to her Father. "And, Daddy, these people, they, like, want to help me. I trust them."

As she said that, she looked towards Jason who looked oblivious to what she was saying.

"I know, sweetie. And so, do I. Professor, I think we have some things to talk about."

Charles had a thankful smile towards Jason, knowing that he had a part to play in this, Jason looking towards him with a fleeting smile, that soon returned to normal, his face looking a little stoic. Charles was a little surprised, as he rarely saw Jason smile genuinely, and could tell between fake and genuine, and that was, genuine.

"Yes, we do."

"But…" Kitty cut in. "Erm…Professor, do I get a cookie now? For being a good girl?"

Charles looked baffled, as did her parents, Jason's eyes slowly turning away.

"A cookie? What are you talking about?"

"Yeah, like Jason said that if we're good, we're awarded with cookies. I like choc chip myself."

Charles turned towards Jason, who had a feeling he was looking, so looked right back.

"Jason, what did you tell this girl exactly?"

"The truth, that's all."

His answer was vague, even his expression seemed to indicate that he was having a little of a joke now.

"I don't recall giving out cookies."

"Storm does sometimes, at least to me…say, I just thought, if there aren't spare rooms…where is Kitty going to sleep?" Charles looked away, telling Jason everything he needed to know. "There are spare rooms, aren't there?"

"Well…the thing is…you see, it was finished yesterday, and it's only one, and Kitty is a young girl so having a room to herself is…"

Jason turned towards Kitty, and seemingly hatched a plan.

"Do you snore?"

"Not that I know of."

Kitty answered truthfully, so Jason nodded his head, putting his hand on Charles shoulder.

"Then, I want to sleep with Kitty."

[WHAT!?]

Jason jumped back as the parents, and Charles roared, Kitty's face flashing through several shades of red.

"What…ooh, you thought I meant…ooh no. I mean, share a room, that's all. Kurt…can have the new room. I don't mind sharing with a girl. As long as she doesn't snore or anything, then I'm content with everything else."

Charles placed a hand on his forehead, sighing deeply, as Kitty looked quite eager for the arrangement, her parents on the other hand, wasn't so much accepting of that.


A day or so later, Jean, Scott, and Kurt all looked at Jason's car, seeing that it looked in pristine condition. All of the marks were off it, and the window, while the backing was a different colour to the colour of the black car, was right back where it belonged.

All three of them…truly looked frightened. All three of them knew that if something was found out, they were going to be in for it, no mistaken. It truly wouldn't be a mistake either, anything could happen, and they didn't want that.

"See Jean? I told you, we'd get it back as new."

Scott comforted the panicked looking Jean.

"Except for the mirror…"

"Well, it was the best we could do."

Kurt this time stepped in and spoke.

Jean didn't feel relieved.

"One of us is going to die when he realizes that mirror is different."

"Hey, maybe he won't even notice!"

Kurt was optimistic at best, but truly, it wasn't something that the others shared.

But then Jason came walking up with Kitty, showing her around the mansion on the behest of Charles, and the other adults, barring Logan that was.

"And these are Scott, Jean, and Kurt." Pointing towards them as he spoke, they all looked mortified. "This is Kitty, she's new."

They could only wave weakly, almost like they were afraid at the same time.

"They don't say much…do they?"

Kitty sweatdropped, seeing that no one was willing to talk.

Jason shrugged his shoulders.

"Usually they never shut up. This makes a good change actually."

Kitty hummed to herself, not really sure what to make of it.

Jason looked towards the car, Jean and the others stiffening.

"So, Jean. How's my car?"

"G-Great…" She sobbed out, handing the keys to him. "S-She handles like a dream…l-love her…and you…y-you know, I've always thought t-that you were really a lovely person…a-and, I want to make your life easier from now on…"

"We all do!"

Kurt chimed in, feeling the fear deep inside of his heart.

Jason looked bewildered for a few moments.

"Okay…that's great. So, it seems like the car is in tip top shape. Cool, well done Jean. I had a sinking feeling that something happened to her, but she seems fine. Dodged a bullet or what? Phew. Well, Jean. Since she looks good, even looking to have been washed as well, you didn't have to do that."

"R-Right…y-you trusted me with your car, and all…"

Jason nodded as he walked towards the car door…but stopped when he looked at the window on the car, the side mirror that was.

Jean, Scott, and Kurt backed away, Kitty not sure what was going on now.

Jason inspected the mirror, the three suspicious looking ones all felt like shedding large tears.

"So…it seems like she's gained a new mirror…" Jason's angry eyes turned towards the three of them, and this time they did sob. "So, Jean, I trust you with her…and she loses her mirror…? Did you think I didn't even see this?"

Jean placed a hand by her mouth, controlling her sobbing.

Jason walked over towards a lamppost on the inside of the garden. Gently placing a hand on the lamppost, Jason wrapped his arms and then lifted it out of the ground, the three of them shaking with new fear.

"Sometimes, I can be nice, sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I'm kind, sometimes I really can be quite mean too."

Kurt, and Jean shared a look, nodding at one another.

""It was Scott's driving that did it!""

"J-Jean! Kurt!"

They apologized to Scott within their minds, and then teleported away thanks to Kurt's ability.

Scott felt betrayed, Jason giving him a smile, as Kitty went to his side, wondering what he was going to do.

"Scott, my old nemesis. Usually, I do take the high road…but when it's my car, my pride and joy. I am not a nice person. Do you have anything to say in your defence before I pass judgement on you my sunglasses wearing comrade?"

Scott looked down at the ground…

But then made a split second decision.

"I want to live!"

Scott bolted away, Jason's eyes broadening with annoyance.

"Don't think so!"

Jason chased after Scott, swinging around the lamppost like a bat, igniting immense fear in the young glasses wearing boy. Kitty giggled to herself, knowing that despite being weird, she was going to have a good time here.


End chapter!

So, that's the end of it! Episode two, with the ending of Jason attempting to kill Scott. But, it seemed like he bonded quite well with Kitty, quite the stark contrast to one another huh. Energetic and bubbly, and stoic and calm, quite the mesh. We even saw a new ability of burrowing from Jason too.

And comes to the pairing. Got to say, I was quite, shocked that so many wanted Kitty honestly. But, I can see why as she's pretty cool. And as shown in this chapter, they do seem to bounce off one another quite well, even bringing out Jason's more, nicer qualities that he hasn't shown to the others just yet, besides Charles that is. So yeah, seems like that's the pairing. It's going to be fun writing for them!

And also, it seems like a fair few of you wish to have other marvel characters be like, guests or something I suppose. Like team ups, and such. I'm not opposed to that, it would be interesting, especially with certain characters. There are a few people I read in the reviews that popped up a few times, like Spiderman who I quite like as a character, some of the Avengers I also saw, and I don't know if I could ever do him justice as he's just really awesome, but I would love to include Deadpool in here somewhere.

I did think of a funny moment where he tries to hit on both Kitty and Jason, and might even suggest a threeway or something since he pretty much hits on anyone, female or male. Maybe he could be a teen Deadpool, since most of them are teens in X Men Evolution. Just a stray thought, I dunno. But yeah, if you want any marvel characters here that didn't appear in the original, then please suggest, and some story plots that they could do would be appreciative too!

Well, until next time where Rogue comes in, Jason's gonna have quite the, interesting relationship with her. How that comes about, well find out next time!
