Kitty sighed. "I'm bored. Why can't there be anything, like, exciting around here?" Jean looked up from the book she was reading for American History.

"Well, I don't know. Maybe because this is a pretty small town, compared to Chicago?" Kurt bamfed into the room just then, overhearing Kitty's complaint.

"Well, Kitty, if you really want some excitement, why don't you go out with me tonight?" He winked at her conspiratorially. She just rolled her eyes.

"Is the mutant in sight?" The team of four focused on a girl walking down the street, humming a little tune to herself.

"Yes, sir. We are ready to engage." One of the members of the team replied into the walkie-talkie they were holding.

"All right, engage."

Professor Xavier was hoping to spend a quiet night at home, possibly catching up on all of the books he was trying to read. Just as he opened up a new book to the first page, a sudden wave of panic hit him full force. He grabbed his head in pain, but then went to Cerebro to find out who was in so much fear.

*Jean!* he thought. *We have a mutant girl being chased by unidentifiable people. Please assemble the team so we may go and protect her*

*I'm on it,* she replied back to him, and quickly gathered up Kurt, Kitty and Rogue to deal with the problem.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Damn! Almost got her!" Jean heard a man's voice say as they approached the one-sided battle. //Well, well, I guess this mutant is harder to catch than I thought she would be.// She heard the man's thoughts as she went to stand in front of the girl.

"This battle seems hardly fair. How about we even up the odds a little?" Kurt mocked the dark-clothed, mask-wearing team who were hiding in the shade not touched by the moon's rays.

"Kurt! No time for that! Just get the girl to safety and go!" Jean yelled at him, not wanting to cause any more trouble. Kurt nodded and teleported the girl to safety, leaving Kitty and Jean behind to deal with the aftermath.

"Mission abort! Mission abort!" Kitty and Jean heard the command from one of the walkie-talkies attached to their belts. Within ten seconds, they were gone, with no trace to be found.

"Ahh! Lost them!" Kitty exclaimed in frustration. "Did you get anything from them, Jean?"

"No," she replied. "Their minds are protected very well, and that means that I can't get a psychic link to them." She sighed. "I think we should find Kurt and get the girl home. Then, we should talk to the Professor about this."

Okay, how was that? Please review and tell me how I'm doing! The story will get better, I promise. All right, peace!

Love always,
