Thanks to youse who reviewed! Its what keeps me going. Oh and I forgot to mention, Scott DOES have a visor, It just totally slipped my mind, Brain fart! Thanks for pointing that out InterNutter! I guess the "cruel glint in his eye" cant be seen, but it's still there. Oh and I also forgot to mention Kurt's watch is on this whole time



"Scott? What happened to you?" Kitty asked. Scott's face instantly fell to anger and he said in a menacing tone, " You may not call me by that name. Scott was a weak fool who was killed (not literally) with his old naïve views. Now I am Cyclops, and I am powerful." Kitty burst into tears, Kurt tried to comfort her by putting a hand on her shoulder and said to Cyclops, "Sc-errrr…Cyclops, what happened to you? You've gone all….bad! The Prof-"

"SILENCE!" Cyclops cut him off, staring at them with cold contempt, "I can see you two are still weak and stupid, no use to me. GO! And don't come back until you've seen what the real world is like." He waved his hand at them in dismission, then turned around again. Kurt was about to say something more but Rouge grabbed his wrist and gave him a "He's serious, don't push him" look. She pulled them outside and said, "Ah'll drive you to the other side of town. If he catches you trespassing you're better off dead." Kitty was about to say something through her sobs but Rouge cut her off, "Scott's soul has been twisted by the deaths, especially Professor's. So has mahn. This world isn't what it used to be, it's dark and cruel."



* At the other side of the town, which has expanded and grown greatly*

Kurt and Kitty watched Rouge drive away, both were crying silently now, hugging eachother for comfort. Rouge had warned them to be carefull and not reveal themselves, or they'd be lynched or worse. Suddenly Kitty took off running, away from the town into a strip of woods, Kurt ran after her, "Kitty wait!" The woods thinned out and led to the dusty cliff edge overhanging Bayville Canyon, which was at least one hundred feet deep. (I know I know there isn't one, but there is here) Kitty sat down near the edge, crying and crying for all the loss. Kurt stood a ways back, and the fur under his eyes became even wetter. After minutes of purging some of their shock and grief, the flood of tears ceased. Kitty stood up, brushed her self off, dried her eyes with her shirt, and tried to compose herself. She turned around, "Kurt! Your watch is off!" For whatever reason Kurts watch had shorted out and he hadn't noticed in his wave of sorrow. Just as he was about to try and fix it three men in police uniforms and helmets jumped out of the bushes and threw a weighted net around him. Kitty screamed. A fourth officer and an old lady in a running outfit also came out, the officer said, "Is that it Ma'am?"

"Yes it is officer, The very one, heavens I say I was just running along and I saw that demon standing there and…" The old lady continued to prattle. Kurt ported, or attempted to. There was something in the net that prevented him from using his powers, he struggled and kicked desperately, but to no avail.

"Lets take 'im away, I'm sure we can get a good price for this freak." Said one of the men grabbing the net. "and if not we can always have some fun with him."

"NO!" Kitty screamed as she rushed towards them. One man tried to get in her way but she unthinkingly phased through him, trying to help Kurt. But the net had the same effect with her power as it did Kurt's, she couldn't reach through the net with her powers.

"They're both Muties!" the officer whom kitty had phased through exclaimed.

"Get her!" another said, right before kitty drove her knee into his groin. He doubled over, making strange high pitched noises.

Kitty grabbed one edge of the net and pulled, right before the fourth man ran full force into her side. She flew through the air, and instead of hitting the ground, she kept falling. She saw the top of the cliff moving away from her rapidly, she turned in the air, she saw the bottom of Bayville Canyon rushing at her. "I'm going to die." she said the thoughts rushing through her head, as fast as she was rushing through the air "In this time that isn't mine. I hope Kurt escapes. I wish Lance was alive. Maybe Cyclops was right. I'm going to die." She watched helplessly as the ground hurried to meet her, then suddenly something warm and slimy wrapped around her wrist and yanked her towards the cliff. She hit hard, horizontal rock, and everything went black.

"Where am I? What happened?" she thought, she opened her eyes slowly, and everything was blurred, including the face above her.

"You ok?" said the face. Everything came into focus. The face had strange yellowgreen eyes, was in his 20's, wasn't strikingly handsome but not ugly, was topped by an unruly mop of green hair, and was familiar somehow. She sat up, rubbing her head and the face retreated. She found herself in a sort of alcove in the cliff that went back into the rock, and her company was a man dressed scruffily dressed man, who gazed at her curiously with inhuman eyes from his crouching position some feet away. She recognized those eyes, and she recognized that posture.

"Toad?" she questioned in disbelief.

"Kitty?" he questioned in disbelief.

"But you're dead!"

"You disappeared ten years ago!"

"You look a lot different."

"You look the same."

(Toad is basically the Toad from X Men the Movie)

"How?…." they both said simultaneously. Toad broke the flustered confusing conversation and said, "We'll figure this out later, until then follow me." Without answering he opened a door in the back of the rock that no one could have noticed unless they knew it was there. She hesitated, and followed. The door led to a hall, which in turn led to a nice little living room, in which stood someone she recognized right away. He was older, and taller, true, but he still had that long black hair, handsome face, and fiery eyes. Lance.
