A/N: I know there wasn't any depression stuff but I figured they would've gotten over it in five years. And with the people who weren't there, I figured they'd know well enough than to freak out over those who were captured being alive and back. But if it means so much I will attempt to write a sentence or two saying that they went all psycho and happy that they were alive. I'm just not that good at writing stuff like that. I'm more of an apocalyptic or deep dark secret writer. Sorry.

Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men: Evolution. If I did I wouldn't be here. I'd be working on the new season.

Anna ran from the table when she heard the scream. She knew it was Scott. Scott, Pietro, and Todd always freaked out when she disappeared on them like this. And she knew that the team was about to go into psycho 'so happy that you're alive' mode. Where they're all hugging and squealing and smiling. Anna might be going by her real name again but she was not going to be an extremely happy person. She had experimented with that once and almost died. Plus she had all those people in her head that could let her be psycho happy.

"Where did you go?" Scott asked as she entered the infirmary

"You guys were taking too long to wake up and I was hungry. Now hide me. They're about to start squealing." Anna warned

It had taken a couple of days for the thrill of Anna, Scott, Pietro, and Todd being back to wear down. They were finally able to walk around the mansion without being accosted by the others. Once that was settled they had to go out and about. Attempting to get reacquainted with the outside world. Luckily the area they lived in wasn't very social media. They were more of the recent news in town. So the four of them showing up would make quite the splash.

"Where are we going again?" Anna asked

"The only mall anywhere near us. Don't worry though. They have things for us." Wanda said

"So, what was it like?" Jean asked

Normally Jean would've just swept the person's mind. But she couldn't seem to get into any of the one's who had been missing. Not even Scott's and she was always able to get into his before. So she immediately blamed Anna. She had never really liked the girl as she was close to Scott. Now she absolutely hated her. It seemed that Scott and Anna had fallen for each other without realizing it. So she just had to get him back and then everything would be fine. And Anna would probably go away. The girl had too much power and took away from Jean. She was supposed to be the favorite but with that much power she'd need so much attention.

"What was what like?" Kitty asked snapping Jean out of her thoughts

"Being locked up. The Professor wouldn't say anything and I haven't been getting anything from any of your minds. It's weird." Jean said trying to make it seem logical

"No. You're not making her talk about this. Not here. Not with us. She shouldn't have to say anything just because you're nosy." Tabby said

"I can try to talk about it a little. It was cold and bright. Everything was white, black, or green. There was a lot of metal. It was always metal and wires. And pain. So much pain." Anna said starting to choke up

"Stop Anna. It's okay. You don't have to keep talking." Rahne said hugging the girl

"Anna, can you please tell them that I can drive?" Kitty said trying to lighten the mood

This had the desired effect and Anna began laughing slightly. This caused the other girls to laugh too. Kitty pouted in the passenger's seat though she was laughing a little. She just wanted her best friend back. And if Jean was going to stop that then the girls would have to deal with her accordingly. They had all missed Anna. She had started hanging out with them a little more and they all liked having her around. Especially when she was able to scare people into giving them deals.

"I wonder how the boys are doing." Amara said trying to help lighten the tension as well

This sent the girls into a whole new peal of laughter that they all joined. They had put all of them in one car. Someone wasn't going to make it out alive. Or at the very least uninjured.

"So, you lived with my Cherie for five years." Remy said

"Wait until we're in the DR for this mate." John begged

"Wait for what? I'm not doing anything wrong. Merely making an observation." Remy smirked

"That's what he always says." Piotr mumbled

"Yeah, we're doomed aren't we?" Todd agreed

"I say we ditch those two as soon as possible. That way we can't be held liable for any damages." Bobby said

"Yeah. We won't live otherwise." Evan said from the driver's seat

"To the end of the mall." Pietro said

Once they got back there were no injuries, shockingly enough. Then they went to the DR. Where Remy decided to be an idiot again.

"So, did anything happen with my Cherie?" Remy asked

"What do you mean?" Scott asked

"Did my Cherie end up with someone else? Or did she stay with me?" Remy asked

"You're obviously crazy. Anna was never with you. And she never will be." Scott said

"Is the leader boy jealous?" Remy taunted

"Why would I be jealous? You're crazy." Scott asked

"What's going on?" Anna asked as she came into the DR with the girls

"Remy thinks you guys were together." Scott said

"As if. I hated you then and I hate you now." Anna said

"Let's let the others show you what they've been up to first Stripes. Then you and the boys can show them what you can do." Logan said

"Okay." Anna smirked

The X-Men seemed to be much the same. Except now they were working together and had better control. They worked to complement each other with their powers and capabilities. Anna smiled as she saw them finish the course.

Then her and the three boys went in the DR. They quickly finished the course without using their powers. They had been taught not to. Otherwise they would get in trouble. So they easily completed the course. This course wasn't designed to kill, the one they used to use was.

"Good job Stripes." Logan said

"Thanks Logan." Anna said

"You'll be fitting in just fine in no time. Don't worry. Hank wants to see you four later about school." Logan said

"Great." Todd groaned
