A figure stood on the balcony of his castle. His servants were below, sleeping. He scoffed at their weaknesses, but still, they had potential. He stood there, conceiving a plan to destroy those foolish humans. His collegue was also slumbering, but seeing how powerful he was, he guessed that a few weaknesses could be allowed. He touched the blood red diamond on his forehead, the symbol of his perfection. Tomorrow, they would begin the extermination of those who opposed him. Or perhaps, they could be made to join him, if their other collegue did his job well. The sun rose, and the figure was still there, like a shadow that never moved, and he smiled.

Daniel woke up earlier than usual, he had been having bad dreams as of late. He went up to the roof to watch the sunrise, as he sometimes did. Gambit and Rogue were still asleep, so he did not have to worry about coming up during a..delicate moment. Surprisingly, he heard the familiar swoosh of air as Tabitha landed on the roof beside him. "Your up early." He commented.

"I could say the same for you."

"No you couldn't, I do this every now and then."

"Whatever. What time does the sun usually come up around here?"

"We have about 10 minutes."

"Cool."

They sat there in silence, both thinking of their friends and family back home, never suspecting that they were being watched.

The two went downstairs for breakfast, past the line that inevitably would be by the shower. This time Kitty was inside and Kurt was trying to get in. The two's arguing could be heard through the house, and anyone who was not already was up now. The group had breakfast, with Evan being more annoying than usual because of a basketball game that evening.

"We are so gonna stomp those guys! They won't know what hit them."

As he said this, he banged his hand on the table, and knocked over Rogue's drink.

"If you don't quit that, Ah'm gonna personally make sure that you don't live to see that game."

Everyone agreed, and he quickly shut up.

Jean seemed flustered, "The game is today? I can't go Evan, I'm sorry. I'm doing something with Duncan after school."

Scot was not so happy, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, you know, just stuff."

"Really, well if Duncan is more important to you than teammates-"

"Yo Scot, it's cool. She deserves a break from going to all our stuff anyway."

Evan's tone did not match the words. He was obviously disappointed, but he didn't seem to mind that much.

"Thanks Evan," she smiled and got up.

A car horn beeped outside, and Jean got up. "There's my ride."

Scot, shocked again "What?! You're not even going to school with m- I mean us?"

"Yes, I can go with whoever I want."

"Fine, whatever." Scot grumbled.

A second horn followed about 2 minutes after that, this time it was Kitty's turn to get up. "There's Lance. I'll see you guys at the game tonight."

"Now hold on Kitty. I don't think you should be hanging around Alvers."

"C'mon Scot, just because you're mad that Jean isn't paying you any attention doesn't mean you can take it out on the Brotherhood. See you guys later," she called as she phased through the door before Scot could protest any more.

Scot tried to go out and stop her, but Lance was already gone. "Damnit, how come nobody listens to me?"

Kellie and Kurt were heading outside, "Now where do you think you two are going?"

"Kurt's gonna port us to some lab beneath the school so we won't get caught."

"Now just wai-"

"Ja, we'll be vine. See you later oh fearless leader."

They disappeared with a Bamf and left Scot in a cloud of smoke.

Tabitha came walking out. "OH NO you don't! You're not flying to school no matter what!"

She just stared at him as if he was jumping around talking like a monkey. "I came outside to get some fresh air if that's ok with you."

Scot slapped his head, "Sorry."

After everyone was at school Daniel realized there was a nagging question in his mind. He couldn't remember what, only that it had something to do about Rogue still wearing her protective clothing and Scott's sunglasses, so he just let it go until it came to him. He shrugged and continued taking notes.

He saw up on the school billboard that there was going to be a dance this weekend. (A.N. Yes ANOTHER dance! Deal with it!) He thought about Amanda and wished she could go. He doubted her parents would let her though, they still didn't know he was a mutant. He decided to go anyway, just for the fun of annoying everyone else. He grinned **Just like old times** The rest of the day went by smoothly, and everyone was excited about the dance at lunch. He remembered what his question was.

"Hey Rogue, Scot," he said.

They turned. "How come you guys don't wear those watch thingies that suppress your powers so you can live normal during the day?"

Scot answered, "The Professor said that if it were to break, and I didn't have my shades, or Rogue didn't have her clothes, then we could do lot's of damage to people. It's not like we could teleport out before anyone saw like Kurt can."

"Well you could at least be able to take your shades off now and then, and Rogue would be able to take off the gloves and stuff."

"I dunno, the Professor just said no. But Ah'm sure that he'll let me take one to the dance," she said with a grin at Gambit.

Daniel smiled, "Hopefully."

The rest of the day went without incident, though Kellie was so hyper on the way home that they had Kurt port the car just to save time. Kellie grabbed Daniel's arm and jerked him into her room. "What!"

She was hopping all over, "So what do you think about, you know?"

Daniel sighed, "No, I don't."

"KURT! Do you think he likes me?"

He thought for a moment. "I dunno, he wasn't exactly complaining when you 'fell asleep' on his arm."

"COOL! I hope he asks me to go with him."

"So do I, maybe you'd calm down a bit."

"Shut up! I think he's cute! That blue color is sexy!"

"OH GOD! I'm leaving NOW!"

"Oh did I show you this?" she held up her hand and the brown door suddenly changed to a silvery red.

Daniel stepped back. "WHAT THE?"

She grinned, "I can control color! Watch"

She concentrated slightly, and she turned as blue as Kurt. "What do you think?"

"You look like a smurf."

"HEY! Maybe I could help Scott."

"How so?"

"I'll see if I can give his glasses a clear color. It just needs the chemical properties to block his beams right? The color doesn't matter."

"I dunno, but then the energy's light might shine. oh."

She laughed. "HA! I am the all-powerful Prism. Feel my power!"

Daniel sighed again. "Go try it out then."

She did, outside where he could point the beam at something that didn't matter. It worked, however, now his beam was invisible when he fired. "Coool! You could snipe people out and they would never know what hit them!"

He looked at her, "Yeah. but why would I ever have to do that?"

"I dunno, just saying you could."

He smiled, "I never knew green could be so. green." He said as he looked at the grass.

"I'll work on my concentration so maybe I could do it at the dance for you," she giggled slightly, "but since the lenses are clear, you look like a poindexter."

"HEY! Well, whatever, you can let go now."

The lenses returned to their normal ruby tinge. "Well, thanks a lot Kellie. I mean it."

"No prob."

They went back inside as Daniel was learning about the beginnings of the Brotherhood. He had just learned that Mystique was Kurt's mother. "Woah, I've heard of family feuds before but.."

Kurt laughed, not as much as he would have, he didn't want to seem heartless. "Ja, well, she wasn't so bad. It vasn't her fault anyvay. It vas Magneto that did this to me," his tail lashed as he said this.

Kellie smiled, "I think the tail's kinda cool," she said as she tried to catch it.

"Hey! Cut it out! It's not a toy or anything!"

She just smiled, "No prob," but suddenly, she lunged and caught it. She started tickling.

"HEY! Cut it out HAHAHAHAH! THAT TICKLES HAHAHA! STOP PLEASE!"

Kellie paused for a moment, "What will you do?"

"HAHAHAHAH! ANYZING! JUST STOP HAHAHAHA!"

"Take me to the dance!"

"VHATEVER YOU VANT! HAHAHAHAHA!"

She stopped immediately, "Cool, now don't wuss out, we have witnesses!"

She kissed him on the cheek and went bounding upstairs, hyper as ever. Everyone laughed at Kurt's confused expression.

Daniel leaned over, "She's like that. You'll get used to it. Or die trying!"

"I HEARD THAT!"

He whispered, "Or just die."

Well people's, the villains are a trio. Sinister, Magneto, and a small helping of the Evil Prof. (idea of Neva). I always thought he was too high and mighty, so it's time he went down a few notches. Mystique might turn up, but I'm not sure. R/R please! Tell me what you think!
