Thanks to Neva for the nice review for the other chapters!
Disclaimer: I don't own the X-Men. Only two characters: Mýa and Oxedubh, which I think is Irish for Black Ox (don't blame me! So what, I'm Irish and never pay attention in Irish class!)
Chapter 3.
Fred looked to Pietro, who was positively dancing with delight. "Wh-Who are you?" the girl jumped down from Fred's arms, landing perfectly on her feet. Almost like a cat. "Girl, he just saved your life, yo! Show some gratitude!" Todd laughed. "Oh, I'm sorry. Thanks, but who are you?" the girl repeated. "We," Lance smirked, "Are the brotherhood." "I think you better talk to me about this." An old man walked out from the trees. He looked very wise, so the brotherhood thought it best to oblige.

"Could everyone please come back to the clearing." Professor X had contacted everyone and told them to stop searching. "It seems that the brotherhood found her first." He said when everyone was back. Wolverine growled. "Which one of you runts let her go?" he said angrily. "Logan, you've got it all wrong-the brotherhood found her first!" the professor said quickly. "Yeah, ok. It's just-I mean, what I don't understand is that we had about 17 mutants looking for her-the brotherhood had 5. What went wrong?" Logan sighed. "Yeah. It sucks. But we'll get her-you just wait-when she sees that boardin' house she'll be over t'us right away!" Rogue attempted a bit of optimism.

"I know why you're here." The old man said to the brotherhood when inside a small cabin with about 5 rooms in it. "Eh-yeah." Lance sounded awkward. "If you already know, what do you say? Can she come?" Pietro said quickly, flashing what he hopped was a nice, sweet smile. "Come where?" the girl seemed puzzled. The old man's eyes went totally black. "Poachers. Mýa, you better sort them out." The old man's eyes went back to the normal way. Mýa nodded and, before their very eyes she turned into a snow leopard and darted out the door. "She's not gonna." Todd sounded sick. "No, no. She will just scare them. She wouldn't kill them." The old man said, "I, by the way, am called Oxedubh." "Are you her grandfather or something? No offence or anything, yo!" Todd asked. "None taken. No, I am not her grandfather. I am the only person she has ever really known. I am the only one she can rely on. I thought her everything she knows." Oxedubh said. "So your like her teacher?" Tabitha asked. Oxedubh nodded. "Well, sort of. I found her when she was a baby. I couldn't exactly send her to school, could I?" Oxedubh smiled. They talked for awhile, the brotherhood told him about Kurt and his image inducer and told him about the X-Men and Bayville. Finally, when the snow leopard arrived home, they had decided what was happening.

"Whats with Logan? I mean, he gets pretty angry a lot but now angry's an understatement!" Evan said. The X-Men were back on the X-Jet and headed home. Evan looked to Jean. "Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!" Jean shook her head. "Aw, come on Jean! It would only be for a minute!" Amara urged. "Nope. What do you think he'd do if he caught me?" Jean replied. "Uh.plant your head on top of the Christmas tree?" asked Evan. Jean nodded. "But he WONT catch you!" Evan grinned. "Sorry to disappoint you guys, but there is NO way in HELL that I would go into Logan's head! ESPECIALLY not when he's already ANGRY!" Jean snapped. They gave up, because they knew that Jean was right.

"So she's allowed come?" Pietro beamed. "Hold it. Come where? No one's told me where. And you've forgotten to do something else." Mýa looked completely confused. "Join our team." Fred replied. "Our team of totally cool mutants!" Todd hopped up and down. Tabitha rolled her eyes. "And what did we forget?" Oxedubh asked. "No one has actually ASKED me if I wanted to go where and join what!" Mýa exclaimed. They filled her in. "Do you want to go?" Oxedubh asked when she knew. "What about Scooby? And you? I couldn't go with out you both!" replied Mýa thoughtfully, pointing to a large black with pale gold markings dog lying beside the door. The brotherhood had not noticed him until then. "Well, I would stay here. I would write to you and phone you. You could take Scooby." The old man replied. Mýa scratched her forehead. Pietro noticed that her long black fingernails looked sharp. They were more like claws. "Hold it. When would I go? And what about the way I look?" Mýa said suddenly. "I will make you an image inducer-like the one they spoke of-and you would go.maybe tomorrow." Oxedubh replied. "Are there enough rooms?" Scooby went over to Mýa who, while she was talking, scratched him behind his ears. Todd backed away, while Pietro patted the dog. "Uh.could you, eh, keep him a bit away from me? I kinda don't like dogs, yo!" Todd backed away slowly. "He's harmless, unless I tell him to attack." Mýa laughed. "Maybe Mýa would take Scooby outside for a few minutes?" Oxedubh raised an eyebrow. Mýa nodded. "I'll come with you." Tabitha said, following the other girl.
"So, what powers do you have? Oh, I'm Tabitha by the way." Tabitha said to Mýa outside. "I can change into a snow leopard. I can freeze stuff-mentally and physically-I can teleport. Oh, and I can run very fast." Mýa answered, "Very, very fast." "So can Pietro." Tabitha smiled, "That's his power." "Are there a lot of you in the boarding house? Oh, and are there a lot of rooms?" Mýa asked. "Oh, just 5. We all came. And there are a fair few rooms. Hey, you know what? We could be room mates!" replied Tabitha. "Yeah- that'd be cool. What's it like living with them five?" Mýa was curious, even if she already knew her answer. "Oh, sometimes its kinda fun. Sometimes I have to stick with what they wanna watch on t.v but I usually do this-" Tabitha tossed an energy ball away,"-and I get the control. And I gotta stick there whining, too. If I ever play my music too loud for them, they let me know. As if I CARED!" Tabitha and Mýa laughed. "You're power- its cool. Sounds pretty fun!" Mýa laughed. "You can come back in now." A voice from the door said.
"So, have you made up your mind?" Oxedubh asked.
HAHA! YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT I WAS GONNA GIVE THE ANSWER? HAHA! Sorry about that, your just gonna have to WAIT! I wont leave you too long.
