Quantum leaped

By Todd fan

Disclaimer: I won neither Quantum leap OR X-men:Evolution. I only own Sidney and Tally, thats it.

Yes, here is ANOTHER chapter. I haven't abandoned this fic :)

Chapter 10 - Changing history for the better.

"Where are they?".

Sam groaned as he heard Sidney's voice ring through the house. He'd been waiting for this. He guiltily looked at his wardrobe, where he had hidden the cat-girls glasses last night. He'd saved Sidney, but at what cost?. Al had told him that when Kitty got up to sing, a light from the celing fell on top of her. Luckily, THAT didn't kill her, she had pahsed through the light, a natural reflex to her.Unfortunately, it brought out the whole mutant problem again. Graydon attacked Kitty instead. Al had also warned that if anyone else got involved, they would end up dead too. Sam was having a tough time with this one. He'd worked so hard to keep Sidney safe, he hadn't given a thought on how he would protect Kitty if the same situation were to happen to her. He lay in bed and closed his eyes, thinking it wise not to go down until the storm had cleared. When he finally deemed it safe to go down, he walked into the common room. Sidney seemed pretty calm and was now giving Kitty some last minute tips. Sam sighed, this wasn't going to be easy, he had just over 5 hours, and his mind was blank. He noticed Rogue walk in and gave her a solem nod. He'd told her about Kitty, he had no choice, buyt he decided against telling her about her family. Rogue smiled slightly and walked over to him.

"Any ideas?", she asked hopefully.

Not a one", said Sam, "i'm usually so good at this".

"Ya'll will think of something", said Rogue, putting a hand on his shoulder, "a'hm sure of it. Ya'll just have ta find some faith in yourself".

Sam sighed and nodded, he hoped she was right. By the time the competition was on, he still had no idea what he could do. He was watching Kitty and the others get into various cars to go the competition when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked up to see a frowning Logan.

"Err......hi Logan", he said, a slight smile crossing his face.

Logan didn't smile back.

"You got somethin' you'd like to tell me Speedy?", he asked, crossing his arms.

Sam blinked, what was he talking about?

"Errr....i don't think so", said Sam with a shrug.

Logan grunted and pulled out Sidney's glasses.

"Oh...boy", said Sam, blinking.

"Yeah, oh boy", said Logan, "i don't know why ya did this, but this aint the time ta talk about it. It's too late to do anything about it now, but after the tornament you and me are going ta have SERIOUS words.

"Yeah, okay", said Sam with a sigh, walking towards the car.

"And where do you think YOUR going?", asked Logan.

Sam stopped and turned round.

"To the....".

"Oh no your not", said Logan, pointing towards the door of the institute, "ya grounded, again!.

"But...", satrted Sam, but he could see by the look on Logan's face, he wasn't going anywhere.

He sighed and trugged back into the mansion. He sighed and put his head in his hands. How was he going to help Kitty now?.

"Sam?".

He turned to see Rogue.

"Hey Rogue", he said with a sigh, "we're in trouble".

Rogue nodded and took off one of her gloves. Sam blinked and back away slightly, he remembered last time.

"W... what are you doing?", he asked.

"Sam, the only way Kitty has any hope now is if a'h get your ability ta talk ta Al".

"She's right Sam", said Al, appearing.

"But....", started Sam, then sighed, "okay".

Rogue smiled and nodded.

"This'll hurt just a little bit", she said.

She walked up to him and put a hand on her cheek. Sam felt the surge of energy as he had done before, but this time it intensified. He started to feel dizzy and woozy. Then everything went black.



When Sam finally came to, he saw Rogue standing over him. She smiled slightly when she saw his eyes open.

"Hey Sam", she said.

Sam groaned and rubbed his eyes.

"Did we win?", he asked, blinking, his eyes getting used to the light.

"Yeah", said Rogue, "a'h managed ta get some guy ta keep Kitty busy. Lance lost his temper and slugged him one. Kitty had to drop out so she could seperate them. That other girl went up, she was pretty good".

"Thats nice to know", said Sam, putting his head down on the couches arm.

Rogue nodded for a second, then looked at Sam with pain-filled eyes.

"Why?", she asked.

Before Sam could answer, he leapt. He felt the familiar rush of energy as he moved to a new host. It took him a few seconds to get his bearings as he perpared to look at his new surroundings. There was one problem. His surroundings were NOT new. He was in the institute, in the common room. He thought for a second that his leap had failed, there must have been a malfunction and he retunred to Pietro. That idea was shattered when he saw Pietro looking up at him from the sofa. Pietro blinked and cocked his head to one side.

"Whats wrong Roguey?", he asked, blinking.

"Roguey?", asked Sam.

He ran over to the mirror, he closed his eyes then looked at his reflection. Pietro was right, staring right back at him was Rogue.

"Oh boy".
