A/N: Sorry for the late update. Internet's kinda crappy in our place, so that's why...Anyway, enjoy! :D


"Why did you go out with him?"

"What's it to you?"

"Damn, just answer me. Why did you go out with him?"

"Bobby, first of all my life is none of your business. Second, I would hang out with Seth wherever and whenever I want" she walked away, probably heading back to her room. The mansion was silent and most of the students are either inside their rooms or watching TV. It was almost 8:00pm when Kitty returned from Seth's house and nobody really cared except for one. She was in the kitchen about to grab a glass of water when a pair of icy blue eyes glared at her.

The owner of those eyes then demanded explanations as to why Kitty has been ignoring him for the past few weeks. Why was she hanging out with Seth almost every time. Yes, he's jealous, especially this time. Why? Maybe because he searched the whole suburbs for the address he found in the profile of Seth in the office; only to find two "lovebirds" standing on a balcony and waltzing under the starry night. Then a few minutes earlier he saw Kitty kissed Seth on the cheek. Now that made him burn in anger.

"Leave me alone, Bobby" she reached the door of her room; she just wanted to shut the guy out, so she'd be in peace.

"Not until you answer m-" Kitty kissed him to shut him up. Now that was impulsive of her. Before he could even kiss her back she suddenly pulled away.

"There happy now?" she phased through her door and left Bobby alone in the hallway.


"What's wrong with me?" Kitty muttered to herself. She started to feel as if everything about her is different. She felt like something is going on inside her, but she can't say what it was. She never does things without thinking it over. Was she being controlled by something? And the Professor, he seems to hide something from her. But somehow she had second thoughts about the Professor keeping a secret, but what's with all this changes and all of her new mutant abilities that suddenly popped out? She laid on her side and stared at the window of her room. Her alarm rang and she knew for sure that she had to get going.

For the whole day, Professor Pryde was 'not herself'. She wrote her lesson on the board and sat down afterwards. She would either stare blankly on her students or play with her phone. She did not even explain what the lesson was about. Until on the last Physics class she had for the day, one of her students took the guts to ask her what the lesson was about. Like who the heck would be able to understand Thermodynamics in an instant?

"Are you stupid?" the students were all silenced. She instantly realized what she did and apologized for her erratic behaviour. Her vision became blurry and she became disoriented. A sharp wave of pain pierced her temple, then slowly spreading all over her head. The students got worried because she's screaming in pain. She heard those voices again, calling her. Her eyes were changing colors, switching from the brown eyes she has to silver. Strange marking appeared all over her face. The fixtures and other electronical devices started to malfunction as a strong power surge began. The pain grew even more until the brunette could no longer take it and passed out, or maybe just her consciousness because her body kept functioning, controlled by the Neo inside. She locked the remaining students inside the room, as those who were able to get out called the other professors for help.

Bobby, Rogue, Seth, Piotr, Storm and Logan scrambled to the scene. They heard students crying and screaming inside. Jean and Professor Xavier sensed the powerful psychic disruptions Kitty made, and quickly headed to its source meeting halfway.

"Kitty!" Storm called as she banged on the wooden door of the room, but she heard nothing except for the cry for help of the children inside, "Professor Pryde! Open it up! Crap"

"We need to break in" Logan growled starting to lose his temper because of the agony he could hear inside the room. "You, metal man, could you break the door?"

Piotr nodded and turned to his metal form. He backed away some distance, then charged. He managed to break the wooden door, but he can't seem to go all the way inside. She placed a psychic wall behind the door making it impossible for them to penetrate much further. She turned to them after hearing the door crash. She pointed one hand towards them and they were immediately pinned against the wall. Jean and Professor Xavier arrived soon, "What's happening?"

"Do you even need a clue?" Logan retorted pointing out the commotion going on. Jean was shocked on what the brunette professor was doing inside the room. She turned to the professor quite shocked as well.

"Jean, stop her" the professor finally said. Jean quickly raised her hand and pointed at Kitty and fought her way inside. Being a pro in telekinesis, she didn't have a hard time breaking the psychic wall Kitty built. The brunette then found her as a threat and initiated a fight. Jean abruptly fought back, her eyes started to glow red as Kitty started unleashing a huge amount of telekinetic energy. Since the Neo does not have a total grip on Kitty's body yet, it was not able to stand a chance with Jean Grey. The red-haired woman was able to neutralize her soon enough and put her to sleep. Those that were pinned on the wall quickly dropped on the floor and the pain induced to the students was gone. Storm led all of the students outside and went to the Rec. Room to give them first aid. Professor Xavier approached the now sleeping Kitty, with a drained Jean sitting beside her regaining the strength she lost.

"Jean, take a rest" he sighed. "Logan, would you mind escorting her?"

Logan was deep in his thoughts, as memories of the Dark Phoenix ran into his head, Flashback of Jean destroying everything and him killing her just to save her. Horror filled his mind that what if the same method has to be done to his former student. He hoped that this would be a better timeline for all of them, but why is this happening? The professor snapped him back to reality, and he immediately took Jean's hand and led her out, "She needs to be brought to the lab."

"I–" but before Bobby could even finish what he was going to say. A man rushed towards the sleeping lady on the floor and lifted her on its arms. It was Seth. He immediately rushed to the elevator to get Kitty checked in the lab immediately.

Rogue, Piotr and Bobby went to the kitchen some moments after the Professor left. What just happened to her? How could she hurt her students and her friends? Is she going insane? Kitty's been acting different lately and no one ever had an idea of the truth that the Professor is keeping from them. The voice of John entering the kitchen disrupted them from thinking.

"Hey, I heard about Kitty. How is she?" he called a bit tired, he's been looking for his friends around the mansion to ask what just happened.

"I really can't say that it's fine because most of the students had injuries and she's knocked unconscious" Rogue sighed memories of what happened earlier flashed in her head, "Jean's been drained and most of us are troubled about Kitty"

"I knew it!" John looked horrified as images flashed inside his head, "She's being possessed!"

Bobby wanted to throw the first thing he could grab to John. How could he say such silly thing in a situation like this? "I'm starting to wonder how you became a professor."

"You know what, I think John has a point" John smirked victoriously at Bobby, who is glaring at him. Rogue glanced at her boyfriend, who can't believe what they are saying, "Well? You do notice the sudden changes in her, don't you? I mean, come on Bobby. You know Kitty more than any of us. If you don't call her your best friend, I might have thought that the two of you are in a relationship."

The last sentence struck him. Does she know what they've been doing? Has she already caught them in action? He cleared his throat, his heart started to beat fast, "W-well, I did saw those changes...but still it's illogical to conclude with such theories."

"Whatever you say" Rogue shrugged before standing up to grab a drink from the fridge. Scott passed by the room and went asking for Jean. They quickly told him where she was and he immediately left. Bobby was quiet for the moment, why did he let Seth bring Kitty to the lab. It could've been him who did it. And Rogue, what she said earlier, made him wonder if she already had an idea as to what he did with Kitty weeks ago.


In the laboratory, Kitty laid asleep on the bed as Seth vigilantly guarded her until the Professor arrived and dismissed him. He planted a kiss on Kitty's forehead before he left the room. The Professor ventured Kitty's head once again to check on the psychic barriers, only to find that the Neo has already destroyed almost 60% and is still working on it to completely unleash its fury. He tried to rebuild the walls, but Kitty's contained powers just destroyed it in an instant. After an hour, Jean entered the room to help the professor. At first she was asked to take some more rest, but she insisted on helping. They were a bit distressed on how fast the Neo has been taking control of the once sweet little girl all of them has known.

"Professor, we must do something as soon as possible" Jean's voice trembled as to how things could possibly end up, if they don't immediately call into action, "We can no longer wait anytime soon. Someone else might get hurt as well."

A sigh was the only reply Professor Xavier was able to give to Jean. She's right, it's unstoppable. She may have killed a student if, not prevented. As much as he didn't want things to end up the way it's going to, he no long had any other choice. He went to the called Storm to go down there as soon as possible. He gave her a list of names that Storm has to call to meet him at his office in a few hours. Two names surprised Ororo, but the Professor didn't answer her directly.

"We'll discuss the problem as soon as everyone's assembled."
