Mystique lifted herself off of the ground and felt murderous. How long could she subdue her anger? This torture was driving her insane! 'It's only three days.' Yes, but three days could be a very long time. Mystique used her disguised arms to brush off her temporary body and prepared to stare daggers into whoever it was that made her fall.

The sound, that terrible sound, of giddy laughter ceased, and Mystique saw exactly who had run into her. For the second time that day, her stomach lurched as she looked at her target- Kitty Pryde, Shadowcat. Again, her combat instinct kicked in, but she had to contain it once again. The brat spoke to her. She didn't feel like replying, but her duty was to Magneto. "Hey, Kit, just messin' around!" Mystique put on a perfectly misleading smile. After all of the bodies she had used, she had perfected the art of facial expressions. No doubt, the little bitch was deceived.

Mystique was about to make a move on Kitty, when Cyclops came into view. 'Shit.' Mystique thought. This was not good; she hoped that he would go away quickly. The atmosphere was too friendly; Mystique thought she was going to be suffocated underneath the goodness of it all. She was surrounded by the enemy, but she needed to relax, needed to focus on the mission. Rogue spoke next, "Hey Scott! You up to anything?" The man in ruby-quartz glasses spoke, "Just takin' it easy. How bout you, Terry? How's the new computer going?"

Mystique couldn't help but smile. Now this was something that she knew about! "Well, I've fixed the drive, added some more gigs. The D-drive malfunctioned, but nothing beyond repair. I need to work on my firewalls and encryption codes, but besides that, all is well." Mystique felt Cyclops slap his hand on her shoulder, "Just like you, Terr'- don't speak unless you need to brag about your computer skills!" He smiled. Mystique grew frustrated inside. 'Why does everyone say "just like you, Terr'." all the time? Of course it's just like him, because it is him!' Well, actually, she was him, but they didn't need to know that.

Sometime later, the school was opened back up and everyone rushed back inside. Mystique was right on Kitty's tail. 'No pun intended.' The shape-shifter smirked as she realized that Pryde was now heading down an empty hallway. "Kitty!" 'Goddamn, Goddamn, GODDAMN!' Why NOW? It was Iceman, Bobby Drake. What the hell was he doing here? 'Shouldn't he be with his little un-fuckable girlfriend, Rogue?' Mystique decided to wait until Iceman went away before she made any moves.

"Kitty, do you know where Rogue is? She's been avoiding me all day." Kitty shrugged, "Sorry, Bobby, don't know where she went." Bobby looked down and solemnly nodded his head, "Oh, well... thanks anyway." Pryde nodded as well and turned back around; Iceman disappeared into another corridor. This was Mystique's time to act. 'Shadowcat will die tonight.'

"Kitty!" Mystique called out in Terry's voice and watched as the girl slowly turned around. "Oh, hello Terry." Her face shown in an evident blush and Mystique felt that this would be easier than she thought. 'So, the little slut has a crush...' Shadowcat had stopped, but Mystique drew nearer. She put on her most seductive smile and reached for Kitty's hand. With her other hand, she gently massaged Kitty's. Mystique could tell that the girl was uneasy. The scaled mutant loved every moment of it. She continued to rub Kitty's hand, then looked straight into her eyes. The first thing that came to Mystique's mind was, 'Come on, let's go fuck', but she somehow thought that this Terry-character wasn't as bold as she was. So, she decided to play it up a little, "Kitty, would you do me the honor of taking a walk with me?" Mystique noticed that Pryde's blush grew tremendously as she fumbled for the words to say. The imposter was amused at the outcome, for all Kitty could do, was breathe a small, "Yes."

Hook, line, and sinker.

"Wonderful. Follow me." Mystique led Kitty back outside from the front entrance and out into the gardens. "Terry, where are we going?" Kitty spoke as she clung to "Terry's" arm. Mystique answered casually, "Off-grounds. I don't want anyone to be around." Well, that was the truth, wasn't it?

Mystique led Shadowcat past the front gates and into the woods beyond. "I've got just the place." She assured Kitty. "For what?" The girls voice was trembling. Mystique realized that the girl was thinking about sex, which was understandable. This 'Terry' wasn't an ugly guy. Although he did have a small dick... 'I'm sure he uses it well.' The crude mutant thought as she led Kitty farther into the woods.

Soon, the shape-shifter had succeeded in leading Shadowcat a decent distance away from the mansion. Mystique could feel that the girl was trembling again, but she couldn't decide if it was out of fear, or plain desire. In any case, she was anxious. "So," Mystique heard the little brat speak, "why are we so far away?" Her voice was innocent, but lined with a sexual edge. Mystique decided to play along for the moment. She strode closer to Kitty and clasped her hand, "Because I don't want anyone to hear you scream." Mystique, again, was telling the truth, but she noticed that she was keeping Pryde completely in the dark.

The girl's face was even hotter than before as Mystique stroked her cheek. 'This is too easy.' The shape-shifter loved leading the girl on like this- messing with her already raging hormones. 'But then,' Mystique thought evilly, 'I'll kill her, take her place, and Rogue will be as good as dead.'

Suddenly, Mystique's thoughts were interrupted by a warm mouth on top of hers. This caught her off-guard and she was momentarily stunned as the girl's tongue roamed inside of her mouth. For a second, Mystique was intrigued, but remembering who she was, and what she came there to for, she broke the kiss. Kitty peered at her through worried eyes, "What's wrong, Terry?" Mystique smiled cruelly, allowing her menacing yellow eyes to flash at the unsuspecting girl.

Immediately, Pryde backed away, eyes wide with fear. "You... I..." Mystique could almost feel the girl's rapid heart beat. She relished in the embarrassment of Pryde. "Yes," the blue mutant purred, her yellow eyes filled with laughter, "you've just kissed a girl. Congratulations. And oh my! She's a 'bad-guy'! Whatever are you to do?" Another gleam of danger flicked across her eyes, "Are you going to run away... phase through some trees and try to find your way to the mansion?" She scoffed and bent toward Kitty's ear. She whispered, "Honey, we're farther than you think." She paused for a moment, letting the complete horror of the situation settle itself into the foolish girl's brain. "Isn't it wonderful? See what you get, being an 'X-Man'?" She looked the girl dead in the eye, "Bad things happen."

Kitty now shook under her piercing gaze. She stumbled in her words as she spoke, "What... what did you do to Terry?" Mystique's eyes glittered as she bent toward Kitty again, "Well, here, let me show you." She fiercely grabbed the girl's neck and snap. Kitty Pryde was dead.

Quickly, Mystique hid the body and took her new form. "Aaah." She moaned as if she just somehow got rid of a heavy burden. "It's nice to be a woman again." She looked down at herself and felt her chest. Suddenly, she was annoyed, "Does everyone in this damn school have small packages?" She yelled at no one, but then recomposed herself. And with not so much as a hint of regret, the new Kitty Pryde made her way back to the mansion.
