Okay this symbol ~ means that you are hearing cat thoughts, only cats can hear this, so the other mutants won't understand them. If they are 'said' out loud, they just come out as growls and snarls. Okay, cleared that up?, good, now on with the show..

Chapter 14 - Through the eyes of the cat.



I sighed and looked at my claws in the dim light of my cell. After Logan had chased me into the bushes near the institute, i rember being jumped on from behind and everything going black. The next thing i knew i was in this cell with a mad-looking lady gloating about how she would create a super mutant. The cell across from me held Logan and the one next to him held Fred. It looked like we were the only ones occupying the block, but it was hard to tell. I had tried to change myself into a small cat to squease through the bars of my prison, only to find that i couldn't use my powers. After Fred and Logan had woken up, they couldn't use theirs either, so it looked like we were stuck. I sighed again, i hadn't gotten much sleep last night, having to lie on a cold hard floor does that to a person, so i was agitated to say the least. I had to admit, the strange lady that called herself Morgan was a fast worker, she had arleady created her 'son' , me, Freddy and Logan were just the finishing touches. We had already had the pleasure, did i say pleasure?, i meant the unfortune to meet her son, Pickles. What kind of person calls their son Pickles?, i guess the kind of person who locks up mutants to use their DNA to create a super mutant. Anyway, Pickles is a pompus, self-centered idot who thinks he's gods gift to women. He makes Pietro look modest. I suddenly heard chuckling, could that guy hear my thoughts?

"How long have you been lurking there Pickles?", i asked, anoyed.

"Only a few hours", came the smooth English accent, what was it with Morgan and English accents?, all of her creations had them, "mother is busy so i thought i'd come and stare at your pretty face".

He stepped out of the shadows. Okay, i'll admit, he was drop dead gorgeous, but that didn't mean i still didn't want to punch him in the face. He had long blone hair, tied in a ponytail. He had green feline eyes, my eyes, i reminded myself biterly. He was tall and muscular, he looked about 17, even though he had only officially been alive for less than 24 hours. He wore leather pants and a black t-shirt complete with a leather jacket, how he wasn't sweating like the pig he is was beyond me. He flashed me a smile with his perfect teeth.

"You want to see my pretty face huh?", i said with a snarl, "well take a good look buddy".

"I will", he said running a hand through his hair and leaning on the bars of my cell, "you know, under other circumstances, i think you and i would have made a great couple".

"Sorry, i don't date guys with the same DNA as me", i said narrowing my eyes, "besides, iv'e already got a boyfriend".

"Really?", said Pickles, putting his hand though the bars of my cell and stroking my cheek, "well i don't see him anywhere".

I jerked my cheek away and snapped my teeth and Pickles' hand. He moved it away quickly, his reflexes much quicker than my own, especially without my powers.

"Ah ah ah", he said, waving his finger at me, "no biting remember?. Anyway, once i get out of here i could get any girl i want. They will all fall at my feet".

"Yeah, and they'll run away as soon as they find out your name's Pickles", piped up Fred with a chuckle.

Pickles turned away from me and snarled at Fred.

"Shut up Tubby", he said with a growl, "Pickles is a cool name. Mother said so".

"Yeah, right", said Fred, rolling his eyes, "and i bet you belive every word 'mummy' tells you".

Pickles roared and punched the wall, leaving a hole in it. He was easily rilled up, not surprising considering the guy had the DNA of the three most short tempered mutants in Bayville coursing through his veins.

"Ya could use those fists of yours ta get us outta here bub", said Wolverine, i narrowed my eyes at the sound of his voice, if there was anyone i could possibly hate more than Pickles right now, it was that guy. He got me into this mess in the first place.

Pickles turned to Wolverine and shook his head.

"Nope, sorry, no can do", he said with a smirk.

"Kid once i get outta here i'll..", began Logan.

"You'll what?", said Pickles with a chuckle, "you'll slice me up?. Even if you DID get out of your cell, which i doubt, you can't touch me. Not only am i invunerable, but i also have the healing factor, you can't harm me".

Wolverine looked like he was about to retort something back when the shrill voice of Morgan ran through the building.

"Oh pickles, come to mummy precious".

"You better run along now Pickles", i sneered, "your mothers calling".

Pickles gave a growl and walked out.

I sighed and sat down, i was fed up of being caged up and couldn't stand being in the same building as Logan, who was frowing at me from across the way.

"Take a picture Claws, it'll last longer", i said with a growl.

"Ya know ever since ya moved ta the Brotherhood, you've become more like ya uncle", said Logan.

"Good", i said crossing my arms, "better him my role model than you".

Logan looked like he was about to say something back when he stopped and turned away from me, muttering to himself. I sighed and leaned against the wall of my cell, drawing my legs up close to my body and wrapping my tail around my feet. Those who knew me well enough would know that i did this when i was upset. I closed my eyes, i missed the rest of the Brotherhood, i missed Lance, i missed my uncle, heck, i even missed Pietro. Above all, i missed Todd.

"I wish Todd was here", i said, mostly to myself.

"Wish granted yo", said a familiar voice.

I sat bolt upright and stood up, walking to the bars of my cell. At the door leading to the cells were Todd, Kitty and Kurt.

"Half-pint, Elf, how did you guys get here?", asked Logan, who had also moved to the front of his cell.

"Lets just say that the people put in your places are, like, really bad actors", said Kitty with a giggle.

"Err guys, vhy haven't you used your powers to get out of here?", asked Kurt, tapping on the bars, "i mean, this should be no problem for any of your three".

"Our cells have some kind of force-field to stop us using our powers", i said, pointing to a box on the wall, "you have to turn off that thing".

"Well thats, like so totally easy", said Kitty, walking up to it, "i'll get you guys out in no time".

She looked at the box for a second before putting her hand right through it. The lights flashed on and off for a second and then everything when back to normal.

"Are they off?", asked Todd looking around.

"Only one way to find out", said Fred, punching the bars of his cell. The front of his cell flew across the room, hitting the cell next to mine.

"I guess thats a yes", i said, blinking.

Suddenly a *bamf*was heard and Kurt disapeared, only to repear in a cloud of brimstone next to me seconds later.

"Vell you vant to get out of here or not?", he asked.

I nodded and grabbed hold of his shoulder. Once again there was a *bamf* and i found myself outside of my cell. Kitty was phasing Logan out of his own. I smiled and let go of Kurt running over to Todd to give him a hug.

"I missed you Froggy", i said happily, "i thought i'd never see you again".

"Hey since when have i ever let you down?", said Todd with a chuckle, "no..wait..don't answer that".

"Okay guys, i hate to break up the love", said Kurt, "but ve have to help the others fight some guy called Pickles. So if you vill all grab onto me, i vill visk you avay to vhere our team mates are vaiting".

I grabbed onto Kurt and waited.



*Bamf*, i found myself with the others standing in a big metal room. All of my team mates were there, as were the X-men. I narrowed my eyes when i saw Pickles and Morgan standing together with three other mutants i have never met,they looked like triplets i assumed these were our stand ins.

"Awww see, they got out", said Morgan with a sigh, "well we can't let them get out and tell everyone about our secret lab now can we?.Imitate.."

"Yes mother", said one of the triplets, walking forward and getting into a fighting stance.

"Oh yeah, a scrap, this is more my style", said my uncle, with a snarl.

Immitate smiled evily and closed his eyes. Before anyone knew what was happening, the guy had changed himself into a dragon. He roared and sent a ball of fire towards Kurt, who mearly teleported out of the way.

"X-men, lets go", said Logan, unleashing his claws and dashing towards Imitate.

He was cut off by what looked like a minotaur, one of the triplets had changed too. A red beam struck the minotaur in the shoulder, i looked over to see Cyclops with his hand to his visor. The minotaur gave a scream as she fell down and changed back into the girl, but only for a second, she was soon changing form again, this time into a bear. I felt the ground begin to shake, Lance was doing his work. As i watched everyone fighting i realised something was wrong. Where was Pickles?. I got my answer as i felt something knock me to the ground. I growled in pain and looked up to see Pickles grinning down at me.

"Care to prove yourself precious?", he said with a smirk.

"Love to", i said, standing up.

Pickles grinned and changed himself into a tiger, but not a normal sized tiger, he was huge, obviously this was what Morgan meant when she said he would have some 'extras'.

"Give them the whole show son", shouted Morgan who had taken a vangate point on a platform overlooking the main room.

Pickles nodded and from his back sprouted a pair of demonic wings.

"Awww man come on!", i said shaking my head.

Pickles snarled at me and swiped a huge paw at my leg, narrowly missing me. There was only one way i could fight him. I concentrated, using my mutant power. I could feel my spine changing, becoming more flexible, i could feel my face and body change shape. My muscles became more powerfull. I have been told that my eyes glow while i change, but i wouldn't know, i don't often change form in front of a mirror. My vison became less sharp, the colours became dulled, they are not important to a feline, movement and shape is. My sense of hearing and smell increased, they told me much more than my eyes did.. Finally i felt the feline mind sweep over my human one. I became a lioness, who wished to defend her pride, to hunt. I stared at the tiger in front of me and sniffed.

~Not real~, my animal mind told me, ~dangerous~.

I snarled and stalked over to the not-real thing, i roared at him.

~Leave now, do not harm my pride~, i told him

The creature blinked at me before narrowing his eyes.

~Make me~, he said.

I gave a roar of rage and swiped a paw at the things face. He gave a growl of pain and stepped back. I smiled to myself, looking at the cut across the creatures face. My eyes widened in shock as the wound closed itself up.

~It's not possible, can't be done~

~Surprise~, he said with a sneer, ~you'll have to do better than that~

He gave a roar and knocked me down to the ground. He pinned me down, digging his claws into my side. I struggled to get up. The thing sneered at me and took a bite out of my leg. I roared in pain. I suddenly felt the weight being knocked off me, quickly and with some force.

"Sid you okay?", said a familiar voice.

I looked up to see a small statured person, my feline mind worked quickly to place him in my memory.

~Todd. Friend. Mate. Member of the pride~

I stuggled to get to my feet, as i put the leg that the creature had bitten down on the floor i felt a rush of pain. I growled and instinctively held it up, so it didn't drag on the ground.

"Looks like it's broken", he spoke again.

I blinked, trying to figure out what he had said. Human words become less imortant to a feline mind, more smell and body language. I decided to give him a purr anyway, he seemed worried.

A sudden roar errupted and i saw the thing run at me again. I limped quickly out of the way, avoiding the stampeeding creature just in time. My ears caught the sound of Todd jumping out of the way and sticking to the wall. The creature turned around and stared me down again.

~You can't fight on three legs~, he said smugly.

~Watch me~, i retorted.

He gave a snarl and spread his wings. He leapt into the air, flapping them and, despite his enormous size, stayed aloft. He roared and dived at me, picking me up in his claws, lifting me up in the air. My feline mind didn't like this one bit, cats were supposed to stay on the ground, not fly. I stuggled to free myself from his grasp, lashing out my claws as far upwards towards the creature as i could. It was then that i hit something, not bone, not fur, not even flesh, but it tore like paper. It was enough to cause the creature to roar in pain and drop me to the ground. I hit the ground with a thud, but remained concious. I looked up to see the creature go hurtling towards a metal platform. Someone on it was screaming.

~Enemy. Not member of pride. Not worth saving~, my mind told me.

The creature hit the platform, causing it to topple , pieces of metal falling everywhere. The screaming one fell hitting the ground with a sickening thud, becoming almost instantly burried under piles of rubble. The scene would have disgusted a human, but to a feline, such violence is accepted and not given much thought. I strained my vison, i couldn't see the not-real creature. I then saw a chunk of metal making it's way straight for my head. I tried to gather my legs up from under me, but i couldn't, i closed my eyes and waited for the inevitable. It was then i felt a hand touch me, just before the metal hit. The chunk went straight through me. This caused my feline mind to freak out..

~Impossible, or is it?~

I looked up at the person that had touched me. I couldn't make out the face so i took a scent instead.

~Kitty. Pride member once, friend, still~

She spoke to me but, my feline mind didn't register it. I was starting to feel the pain from my fall. I moved my eyes around me, i saw a few figures standing where the screaming one had fallen. They all smelled as the creature had.

~Not real~

I blinked and lay my head down, starting to feel conciousness slip away. I opened my eyes once more, the protective third eyelids covering them so i could only see some shadowy figures standing over me. I sniffed.

~Pride members. Friends. Safety~

Everything went black.
