Jackie: Yeah, I've never written an X-Men: Evolution story. In fact, I've only seen, meh…10 episodes…But, as my history goes, I've already fallen in love with one of the characters.
Agent Blorange: I wish you would stop doing that.
Draco-muse: *Gulp* Should I feel threatened?
Takeru-muse: HAH! Now you know how it feels!
Jackie: Well, he's not a muse…well, not yet at least.
Draco-muse: *Whew*.
Jackie: Anyways, this is a sample chapter. If people like it, I'll probably write more on it. If not, after 30 days, bye bye!
Takeru-muse: That means, if you want more, R&R!
Jackie: Enjoy, and oh yeah, THIS IS NOT KURTTY! Kitty doesn't deserve our fuzzy blue elf.

Angeline Summers walked nervously through the halls of Xavier Academy. Even though both her parents attended the school for mutants, Angie wasn't thrilled with the idea of leaving everything she knew to develop her "powers".
Yeah, some powers. I can create mirages. I can't even see them myself!
Angie had the power to influence what other people saw, a possible combination of her parent's powers. She turned around to see her father Scott and mother Jean wave and drive away, leaving her stranded in unfamiliar territory.
"Hi!"
"AAH!"
From out of nowhere, a boy had appeared behind her, a silly grin plastered on his face. But what had frightened Angie was the fact that his face was a bright shade of blue. "Where'd you come from?"
He slid around the ceiling support and grinned back at her. "From Fredericksburg, Texas, you?"
"Um, I'm from Bayville…" She couldn't help but feel like she knew this boy from somewhere, even though she was CERTAIN she'd never met anyone with blue skin. "What's your name?"
The boy jumped up on the banister, perching like a mountain lion. "Alexander Johann Wagner. But Professor Xavier calls me Nightshade. How about you?"
Angie straightened up, determined to act more mature than him. "Angeline Elizabeth Summers…but everyone here calls me Mirage. How'd you end up here?"
Alex smiled, then disappeared before Angie's eyes. She spun and looked around, remembering her dad's friend Kurt who could teleport, when a tap on her shoulder made her jump. Turning, she found Alex, grinning like an idiot and finding it hard not to laugh. "Zat's how. And you?"
Angie smirked, and concentrated. Alex stared at her, until he saw one of his father's old friends walking up behind her. He bolted when the man with the red sunglasses began to take them off. He'd heard enough about what happened when…
He was startled to hear Angie's laughter, and realized that the man had never really been there. "So zat's vy zey call you Mirage."
"Yeah, how'd you get your name?" Angie questioned, leaning back against the banister that minutes before held the little blue trickster.
"Bose of my parents have "Night" in zer names. Nightshade fit."

Meanwhile, in a café somewhere in Bayville, Scott and Jean Summers were sipping coffee when an unexpected visitor popped up…right in Scott's lap.
"KURT! What are you doing here?"
"Oops…sorry Cyke, I'm out of practice."
Kurt climbed off of Scott's lap and brushed himself off as he slid into the seat next to Jean. "First day of Mutant High for my little von…how about you guys?"
"Same…" Jean said, curious. "You have a kid?"
"Two, actually. Sari's only four, though, so she von't be here for quite some time…I guess ve really lost track of each other, didn't ve?"
