I DON'T OWN ANYTHING, BUT KAT!
"You know that it was too dangerous for her to stay with me; especially after what happened to Alex." Victor said following her.
Ebony nodded sadly. "Yes, I know. I miss my sister as well as you do. It's a shame Kat had such a short time with her, and we knew her for so long." Victor nodded at what she said. Ebony came to a door and opened it.
The walls were painted an off white color. Covering the floor was a forest green carpet. On the walls were posters of the bands Disturbed and Godsmack.
The comforter on the bed had a tiger on it. Next to the bed was a nightstand, on was it was picture. It was of a woman with brown skin and green eyes. Her black hair reached her shoulders. In her arms was a sleeping baby girl with light brown skin wrapped in a pink blanket. The woman was smiling down at the baby girl.
Victor picked up the picture, while Ebony pulled out a duffle bag and began to pack Kat's clothes. Ebony looked up and saw him staring at it. She smiled warmly at him.
"Kat looks exactly like Alex, doesn't she?" Ebony said.
Victor nodded as he put it back down. After a few minutes Ebony was finished; she handed Victor the bag. That's when he noticed a stuffed white tiger. He picked it up along with the picture and placed it in the bag.
"You two better come and visit me!" Ebony said as she walked Victor to the door. He nodded before leaving.
It was around midnight when Victor returned to the base. He walked directly to his room, there he saw Kat asleep. Victor shook his head as he noticed the covers where twisted up on the bed and not on Kat. Good to see some things haven't changed about you kid. He thought.
Victor put the down the bag and walked to the other side of the bed. He picked up the covers and untwisted them, then put them over Kat. Kat opened her eyes and slowly sat up.
"Daddy." She whispered.
"Go back to sleep kitten." He told her. Kat got up and wrapped her arms around his neck. She buried her face into the crook of his neck.
"Since mom died, you've dropped me off place after place with strangers. Don't leave me again Daddy." Kat whispered. Victor felt Kat's entire body start to shake as she started to cry. He wrapped his arms around her small waist.
"I won't leave you this time, I promise." He promised. It took a moment before Victor realized Kat had fallen asleep again. He put an arm under her knees and picked her up. Victor pulled back the covers and put her down. He then got the white tiger out of the bag and put it in Kat's arms. She instantly tightened her hold on it.
It was the next day. Kat woke up to find the room empty. She looked down to see a bag; Kat opened the bag and saw it was full of her clothes. She looked around the room and found a bathroom; she took the bag inside closing and locking the door behind her. She looked around and found a clean set of towels. Kat turned on the shower; she then took off the clothes Pyro let her use. After doing so, she stepped into the hot shower.
It was almost a half hour later when Kat turned off the shower. She squeezed the excess water from her hair and then wrapped a blue towel around her body. Kat went over to the bag and started going through it. She took out and put on the necessary under garments. Kat then took out a tight black tank top. She then pulled out a pair of semi-baggy camouflaged army pants. The only thing holding the pants up was a black and sliver studded belt. Kat then put her combat boots back on.
She walked back into the bedroom and dropped her bag on the bed. Kat then opened the door to see Pyro about to knock.
"Hey, sheila." Pyro said.
"Hi." Kat replied.
"Boss wants you, so he sent me to find you." Kat nodded as she closed the door to her father's room. They walked down the metal hallway until Pyro opened a door for Kat. She walked through it to see almost everyone there.
"Now dat da girl is here; why are we here?" Gambit asked Magneto.
"The 'girl' has a name and it's Kat." Kat told him with an annoyed look. Gambit didn't even look at her as he kept his glance on Magneto.
"You all are here because I have something to tell you. Beginning next week, you all will be attending Bayville High, with the X-Men." Magneto explained.
"What!" Most of the teens yelled.
"Why the bloody hell do we have to go to school?" Pyro asked.
"Because Katherine is still sixteen and must have an education." Magneto answered.
"Um, yeah so why can't I go by myself?" Kat asked Magneto. The door opened and Sabertooth walked inside.
"Because you get into fights too easily." Sabertooth said. Kat gave him an uneasy smile.
"You've been talking to Aunt Eby haven't you?" Kat asked using her nickname for her aunt.
"You could say that." Sabertooth said leaning against the wall.
"If that's the case then why not just make Colossus go?" Pyro asked. "He can just pick her up and carry her away from the fight."
"Pyro, if Katherine does get into any fights with the humans…Some of the fights won't be her fault, therefore she will need some he-"
"Just saying, but I don't need help in fights. I took out Colossus myself, just yesterday, and a few days ago I took out the Cajun and Pyro. So I think I can handle some humans by myself." Kat argued.
Magneto looked at Katherine then to her father. "That is not what I'm worried about. If you get into any fights and one of the humans lay a hand on you, Sabertooth will hunt down and kill them."
"Damn right." Sabertooth growled.
"Point proven."
"Does dat mean dat we can't go in late?" Gambit asked.
"Katherine needs to arrive on time, so whatever time she gets there. Is the same time you three will get there. Understood?"
"Yes sir." The three teenaged males said.
"Now, Katherine, I understand that you need school supplies. Pyro, Gambit, Colossus go with her." All three of them groaned in annoyance.
"So how much am I allowed to spend?" Kat asked. Magneto handed her a small plastic card.
"As much as you need to." He replied. Kat took the card with a smile.
"You and I are going to get along very well." She told him, looking at the card.
It was a few hours later. Remy and Pyro were sitting at a table. Piotr went back to the car to put bags away. Kat was looking down at Remy and Pyro.
"Oh come on! We've only been here for two hours." Kat said like it was the easiest thing in the world.
"Kat, we've been through store after store!" Pyro groaned.
"Pyro, we've only been to three stores." Kat retorted.
"Remy bets da X-men don't have ta do dis." Remy whispered rolling his eyes.
"Fine," Kat sighed, "you two can rest until Piotr comes back."
"Mon dieu, what da hell is it wit females and shoppin'?" Remy whispered. Kat looked at him.
"I heard that." She growled. Remy simply shrugged his shoulders. Piotr walked back over to them.
"What, are you tired already?" He asked Kat.
"No, but Pyro and Remy are." She said. Piotr looked down at his two friends.
"Comrades, we usually do more work trying to beat the X-Men…and yet this has tired you out?" Piotr asked.
"We're more bored then tired, mate." Pyro stated flipping his lighter on an off. Kat rolled her eyes.
"Fine, we'll go look at cds next." She told them.
"What you're going to do is get out of here!" A voice said from behind Kat. Kat smirked as she turned around to be faced with Scott and some of the X-Men.
"And I suppose you are gonna make us?" Kat questioned.
"If we have to." Rogue said taking off one of her gloves. Kat looked at Rogue.
"Is that supposed to scare me or somethin'?" Kat asked her. Pyro pulled Kat back to where the rest of them were standing.
"Trust me sheila, she's more powerful then you think." Pyro admitted to her.
"And I'm stronger then what you three think." Kat retorted.
"Easy, Kitty-Kat, Pyro knows what he's talkin' bout for once." Remy interjected. "One touch from da Rogue and she'll put ya inta a coma an use ya powers against da rest of us." Kat nodded at Remy.
"Yeah, yeah that's all fine an dandy. So while you fight her, don't get touched. She's only dangerous, if she touches you." Kat stated in a matter-of-fact voice. She then shrugged and laughed a little bit. "Plus, you remember what Daddy said…if anyone lays a hand on me, he'll kill 'em."
"Your so called father is a psychopath." Bobby said. Remy, put a hand on her shoulder. Kat merely growled at Bobby as a warning. "Who could ever love him is beyond me."
Before anyone could stop her, Kat had her hand around Bobby's throat. She suddenly lifted him into the air. Her green cat-like eyes glared up at him as she growled showing her fangs, which she inherited from her father. Kat tightened her grip on his neck so he could hardly breath. "If you ever insult my father in my presence again, I won't hesitate to kill you."
The other X-Men started to move to try to help their friend. Until Piotr turned into his metal form, Gambit took out a card charging it and Pyro flipped open his lighter making made a small dragon from it. "Gambit suggests dat yall back up, while da Kitty-Kat teaches da ice-pop a lesson."
Kat turned her head and smiled at her team-mates. "Thank you, boys." She then turned back to Bobby, who was starting to turn into his ice form. Kat glared and tightened her grip, so he couldn't breath at all. "Now back you. You don't know how much shit my father and I have gone through! The only other person, besides me, that loved him died. I am the only thing keeping him sane. I love my father, so next-"
"Uh, sheila." Pyro interrupted. Kat turned her head to him with a questioning look. "He's turnin' blue, and I doubt its from his powers." Kat then looked back up to Bobby, seeing that Pyro was indeed correct she dropt Bobby. He fell on to his butt as he gasped for air. Kat leaned down so she was eye level with him. Bobby glared at her.
"As I was saying…I love my father, so next time you decide to insult him in my presence," Kat took a clawed finger and ran it down Bobby's right cheek. When Kat pulled her finger away, there was a long bloody cut on his face. "I'll gut you like a fish."
"Get away from him!" Scott demanded putting a hand up to his red sunglasses. Kat stood back up and looked at him. Suddenly Scott was sent flying backwards. Kat then caught two familiar scents. She then felt someone wrap their arms around her waist. Kat looked up to see Pietro right behind her and Wanda walking up to them.
