The following day, Ororo called Dr. Ann Possible and explained the situation to her; after the first round of "Oh my God"s and "Is she okay?"s, Ororo found herself trying to answer a hysterically mad mother. The woman's voice could be heard a good foot away from Ororo's ear and when the woman completed her screaming, Ororo placed the phone back to her head and spoke calmly into the receiver.
"She is fine. As I understand it, she does this sort of thing every day, so we allowed her to fight alongside as our comrade. She only sports a few bruises and a shock that would no doubt shock any one. She needs someone right now, and I believe her mother is the best choice." Ororo spoke and the other end went silent. "We will pay for your ticket if you choose to come by plane. And someone will pick you up at the airport." There was an agreement to that plan and the Possible mother said that she would catch a flight that night with her other two children. "Thank you, we wish you a safe flight." Ororo hung up the phone and looked to the other person in the room, the wild looking man known as Logan when not in a combat suit. "I have a feeling that these next few days will give Miss Possible more trouble than she needs."
"Can't help it 'Ro. All we can do is hope that her ma doesn't drag her away thinking she could train her on her own. Kim needs someone who understands her right now, not an overbearing mother." Ororo nodded at her friend's statement just as their fire starting friend came through the swinging door with the new addition to the mutant world.
"You have to eat, Possible. Human body needs sustenance." Catalina shot as she put Kim on a barstool next to the island and went to the refrigerator and dug out the eggs and milk. "You like omelets? Good, 'cause you're gettin' one." Logan snorted at Catalina's actions, who in turn stuck out her tongue at the ancient man.
"Keep it out and I'll cut it off." Catalina continued to keep her tongue out.
"I'd like to see you try." She said and then stuck her tongue right back out, Logan let one claw slide out and Catalina ignited a hand. "Fire melts metal alloy, Logan, lessee how far you get." Catalina said, her eyes darkening and Logan re-sheathed his claw as thunder was heard outside. He looked to Ororo and noticed her arms crossed.
"Would you stop acting like children?" Catalina extinguished the flame and crossed her arms again. "Thank you."
"I'm a child at heart, just because I'm twenty-something doesn't mean I have to be mature." the fire-starter shot and Ororo quirked an eyebrow. "Would you like an omelet?" Ororo just shook her head and looked to Kim who was doing her best to hide her smile at the antics of the three in the room; she would place it as a typical family playful argument. "Hey, I didn't say you could laugh at me. It hurts my feelings you know." Then another head popped into the kitchen, with distinct blonde on his head and buffoonery on his person.
"Did someone say omelets?" Catalina looked at him as she placed a pan on the stove in the island and turned it on high and spraying it down with the non-stick oil.
"Yes, but buffoons don't get any." Ron's shoulder drooped with a resounding groan and Kim looked at Catalina. "What? I don't do charity work."
"What do you call making me one?"
"Repayment. You save my life, I make sure you don't die of starvation. Kay? Kay." Then she cracked an egg into a bowl and continued cracking until she down to two eggs, out of a carton of 24. Then she mixed in enough milk, stirred it up and proceeded to pour out a third of the eggs into the pan and started with one omelet. Taking cheese and piling it on. When she was done with three she put on in front of Kim, one in front of herself and then one on a paper plate. She looked at Ron and then to the plate. "If you want it, you better get it; we do have an invisible kid here who loves my omelets." Ron launched himself at the omelet and Kim laughed as it swerved above his head and out the door with a fork hovering beside it. "I told him." Kim wasn't laughing anymore and the silence was beginning to feel heavy and Catalina looked up to see that Kim wasn't eating. She only poked the food on her plate as Catalina shoved another mouthful into her mouth. Catalina put her fork into the remains of her omelet and pushed it around the plate. "You have to eat Kimmie." By now, the only people left in the kitchen were her and Kim.
"I don't want to eat." Catalina put down her fork then and stared at Kim; she was so much different now, why? "I just learned that I'm a damn mutant. I thought I was the normal one in the family. I didn't want this." Kim moved her hands to her lap and let her head droop down. "I keep hearing voices, people thinking. They think hurtful things Catalina. Every time someone tries to touch me, I jump and something breaks. I can't stand it." Catalina noticed the knife block was now empty of knives and the knives were all hovering in the air waiting for their next command. "I don't wanna be like this." Then Catalina saw it, a tear fell from Kim's face onto her hands and Catalina moved from her chair and the sudden movement made Kim's head shoot up in surprise. The knives all dived for Catalina who waved her arm and the knives' blades melt instantly.
"Calm down, Possible. Your emotions are linked to your gift." Catalina was now beside the emotionally unstable world-saving cheerleader and forced Kim's eyes to link with hers. "Calm down." The knife handles dropped to the floor instantly and Kim dove at Catalina, wrapping her arms around the older woman and crying into her shoulder. Catalina stiffened instantly; the cheerleader was crying on her, hugging her, damn. Catalina slowly, as if reluctantly, wrapped her arms around the younger girl and provided the comfort she needed. "It's gonna be okay." She found herself saying and wondered how that had slipped out. Stupid cheerleader… She sighed inwardly, I've grown way to soft.

Go pick up Dr. Possible and her companions, take the SUV. Don't argue with me on this… That is what Ororo had said to her and she couldn't argue, that woman was formidable when she was mad. And she wasn't mad often. Catalina found herself sitting at the terminal waiting for the plane to unload so that she could get this over with and get some sleep. Just as her eyes began to droop she felt the unmistakable feeling of someone tearing her head in two and her eyes shot open in time to see a taller and older version of Kim and a set of teenage twins. Each held a Nintendo DS, but they weren't playing them anymore, they stared at the person that held their mother's attention.
-That hurts me you know.- Catalina thought simply knowing that Dr. Possible was listening, the woman's face was stuck in a frown, but her eyes looked worried.
-I know.- She replied silently and Catalina stood to greet the group as if the two weren't just talking. With a huff from Catalina, they walked to retrieve that three's bags and then left the airport to go to the SUV that was parked in the large parking garage. Before she even opened the doors, she looked to the two boys.
"Don't touch anything. I don't need technopaths tearing apart the SUV." Catalina growled as she sat in the driver's seat. When she started the SUV she immediately turned on the music as loud as she could bear and sped out of the parking garage, not bothering to wait until the other's were even situated or belted in. It was only minutes before they were on the interstate back to Westchester and back to the mansion. Catalina was silent during the trip, not wanting to set off the telepath next to her, she also kept her thoughts silent. When they pulled into the garage she pressed a button on the dashboard that opened all the doors, and when they swung open she stepped out and didn't bother to wait for the other three as she made her way towards a door. The passengers followed, the twins hurrying through the same door while their mother walked calmly to the door. She knew where the girl was going, and she also knew a whole lot more than she should have. Catalina wasn't as guarded about her thoughts as she believed she was.

Catalina had decided to sit the conversation out; Kim had been talking with her family for half an hour now, and all she heard was yelling on both their parts. The only time it was quiet came when Ororo entered the room and directed the conversation to a more peaceful conclusion. As this happened, Catalina just decided she could drown her thoughts in television and found herself watching a Powerpuff Girls marathon on the Cartoon Network channel. She only noticed that someone else was in the room when the beast of a man, Logan, sat next to her on the couch and held out the other beer he had in his hand.
"I don't understand why the woman finds the need to yell so much." Logan stated and Catalina just smiled. "If I were actually in the room, I would most likely be deaf right now."
"You'd be surprised how alike the two are." Catalina smirked as she changed the channel to a hockey game that was on; it was a college team, but she knew Logan liked the game no matter who was playing.
When the game ended, Catalina heard the group come into the room and she looked up, muting the TV. Kim was next to her mother, she looked tired yet she stood with her head held up; Kim's mother however looked a little agitated. Storm stood next to this, stoic as always and the twins looked completely oblivious as they both played on their DS's. Catalina then stood and put her hands in her jeans' pockets and awaited the verdict of the screaming match. Then Storm spoke:
"Kim has decided she will finish her schooling here as she receives help in controlling her telekinesis and telepathy." Ororo stated and Catalina crossed her arms, waiting for the catch. "But Dr. Possible does not wish for Kim to participate in any X-Men business. That is the agreement we are sticking to." Logan nodded from his perch and stood up, he looked to Catalina for only a moment before moving from the room. "Dr. Possible, someone will be down shortly to show you to our guest rooms, they are connected so the boys will have a room to themselves for the night." Ororo stated and she left the room as well to fetch the help she mentioned. As soon as the weather witch was out of the room, Dr. Possible narrowed her eyes at Catalina, opening a telepathic channel with the young fire-starter.
-I could tell her right now- The older woman started and Catalina still looked indifferent as Kim stepped up to her. –She wouldn't want to be here if she knew-
-Tell her what you will, it's her choice not yours- Catalina directed at the older woman and she then turned her attention to the teenage world-saver.
"So, this training I'm supposedly going through now, who will be teaching me?" Kim asked, genuinely curious. Dr. Possible crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow as if reiterating, 'Yeah who's gonna teach her?'
"Well, as far as I know, me and Logan will most likely run your self-defense training, but Storm and Hank are the ones who head up the mutation training." Kim nodded, she stills seemed nervous about something. "What?"
"Who will I be rooming with?"
"I don't know, Ororo usually handles the rooms. I have a room to myself; Kitty, Rogue and Jubilee share a room and the rest are arranged like that. Students are three to a room, adults are one to a room, two if they're married or choose to live together." Kim nodded again and Dr. Possible decided to speak up.
"Is it a remote possibility that she could be rooming with you?" Kim's body tensed at this question and looked at her mother, who shrugged believing it was a legitimate question. "Well?" Catalina narrowed her eyes at the older woman and then looked at Kim.
"Only if Kim requests it, I'm not sure that 'Ro would willingly put anybody in my room; it's fire-retardant for a reason." Dr. Possible's eyes widened at this. "I have very vivid nightmares." Catalina explained. It was then that someone walked into the room and Catalina smiled and waved and the room's occupants looked to the newcomer; she stood at about Kim's height and was covered from the neck down in clothing. "Hey Rogue what's up?"
"Um, Kurt outside the door, waitin' to show the Possible's to their rooms, and you're fifteen minutes late to our trainin' session, Cat." Catalina cursed at this and Rogue smiled.
"All right, I'll be right down." Rogue nodded and left the room, and just as she left a blue furred boy stepped into the room in a peculiar uniform, almost like he was from a circus. He waved at the three in the room and the two newcomers noticed that he only had three fingers. "This is Kurt Wagner." She said in a fake German accent which made the blue-man smile. "But in ze Munich circus he was known as ze incredible Nightcrawler." And she bowed flourishingly which got a smile out of Kim and when she rose back up, she had a smirk on her face and she winked at Kurt. "He'll be showing you to your rooms, and Kim the decision is totally up to you, would you like to come observe a training session, or spend the rest of the day with your mom and the tweebs." Kim looked at her mother.
"I think I'll stay with Mom." Kim said and Catalina nodded.
"Alright, I'll see you later then." The firestarter then moved from the room and Kim looked to Kurt who gestured for them to follow him.
"Right zhis way, ladies." He said with a smile and a slightly bow and wave of his arm as he left room for the family to follow him through the door while he held it. When all were successfully through, he closed the door and then gestured to a staircase and led the way down a few short hallways and then opened a door that had a queen sized bed and another that no doubt led to the room next door. Kurt solidified this when he opened the door and the tweebs ran into the room and began jumping on the two full sized beds within; when Mrs. Dr. Possible saw the lush surroundings, she quirked an eyebrow at Kurt in a wordless question. "It iz my understanding zhat Profezor Xavier made sure zhat hiz guests vere comfortable." Kurt responded and the good doctor nodded with a smile. "I will be back to escort you to supper vhen it iz ready, we all eat togezher." He said and then bowed and vanished in a puff of black smoke. Then Ann Possible turned to her daughter.
"Are you sure about your decision, Kimmie?" She asked with a smile and Kim looked up at her mother and the tweebs now calmly sitting and no doubt listening in as they pretended to play on their game devices and then smiled.
"Yes, Mom. As much as I want to be home, I know that training at home isn't what is best for me. You have the tweebs to teach and although I'm closer to your gift than they are, they need you more than I do. Even if I did stay at home, I'd be off at college next year." The neurosurgeon nodded at this and sat down on the bed and patted the seat next to her, when Kim sat down, she was immediately enveloped by the loving arms of her mother.
"I love you Kimmie-cub, we all do. You know that you can come home any time, your father and I wouldn't push you away." Kim nodded and felt tears come to her eyes and noticed that her shirt was getting wet from where her mother's head was resting. She rubbed her mother's back.
"I'll visit Mom. It's not like I'm not coming back."

A lone man is sitting at a chess table in the middle of the park by himself as he plays with metal pieces and he looks around before raising his hand above the board. Slowly but surely, a piece moves. Before he can continue a woman sits down across from him and she crosses her legs and places elbow on the table and her chin in her palm as she looks at him with sea green eyes beneath her brown hair. "There has been a new development, sir." She slides a photograph across the table, it is of the fight merely days ago caught by one of the security cameras. "It seems that everything is possible for a Possible." The girl smirked and so did the man.
So tell me what you think! ^_^
Also as a side note, I don't need the X-Men hysterical fan community coming after me, I know that Wolverine's adamantium claws are indestructible _ it's all part of the joke and stuff O_o
