Disclaimer: If you are dumb enough to think I own X-men Evo, then I pity you and the uneducated life you live.jk AN: I love my reviewers! So many people are asking me, "Is this Lancitty, or Keitro?" My only answer is.I like shrimp! Reviewer: That's not an answer! AN: Maybe not to YOUR question! Teeheehee! Like I said, there are many luv triangles in the ficcy. I'll tell you right now that Lance/Kitty/Pietro is one of 'em! Now, back to my fic! :: dodges the shrimp thrown by random reviewers:: Oh, and sorry if I begin to fall behind in updating. I'm starting highschool this year and with volleyball tryouts, summer reading and basketball open gyms I'm getting tied up more often. Welcome to my life. All my friends are on vacation still and I'm getting stressed and restless! Well, enough of my ranting.

The next morning was almost a rude awakening for Kitty as she got up early for school. Rogue was still asleep. Kitty phased through the door and saw a quick blur fly into her. The impact sent Kitty flying into a wall, not aware enough to phase through it. Pietro Maximoff rubbed his head in pain and glared at her.

"Watch it, Pryde!" He sped off again and turned the corner. Kitty felt a small knot on the back of her head and got up warily. She followed the path Pietro took and went downstairs angrily.

The girls were all standing in the typical line to the restroom. Jean, who always snagged the bathroom first, was one of those waiting in line.

"Tabitha, we share the bathrooms, so you can't just lock the door like that!" Jean fumed. Typically, four girls could be in there at once.

Kitty thanked God for her wonderful powers and phased in. Tabitha was applying makeup to her face while singing Madonna's Die Another Day. Kitty unlocked the door and Jean bolted in. Tabitha looked up from the mirror and grinned.

"I needed my privacy! Chill out, Red!" Jean growled a little and began to brush her teeth. Kitty didn't acknowledge the spat and quickly got ready before Tabitha begins throwing bombs everywhere. After leaving Kitty noticed Todd hopping at full speed downstairs, chased by Kurt, who was yelling for Todd to give him his homework. Kitty sighed as she went downstairs to eat breakfast. Today would be a very bad day.

In an area just outside of Bayville, a man in his mid twenties had just cornered two girls in an alleyway. He wasn't interested in the younger one, and threw her to the side with abnormal strength, knocking her out. The other girl began to run, but it was hopeless as the blonde haired guy grabbed her by her arm.

"A mutant, aren't you? So young though, you probably haven't even begun using your healing powers. Tsk tsk." The man began to glow a bright green as the girl began to collapse in his grasp. Still glowing, he dropped her. The girl glowed the same green, and a beam of light came out of her chest and into the man's outstretched hand. Satisfied, the man began to walk away, his green glow disappearing.

"A pity I took her powers before she developed them. Oh well," the man walked on without looking back.

"Pryde, is there a reason you're not taking notes with me? Or am I too much of a distraction?" Pietro waved a hand in front of Kitty's face. Kitty looked back at him in anger. She was tired of taking history notes, and especially with Pietro, who was working on the same assignment with her. She replied sarcastically, "yes, that's it, Maximoff." She turned back to her notes when a piece of paper hit Kitty square in the head. She picked it up and handed it to Pietro.

"Your bimbos have sent you mail." She turned around to face the Bayville cheerleaders Mandy and Courtney. Both girls were looking past Kitty at Pietro with hope in their eyes. Kitty hated cheerleaders, especially when thinking about her bullies at her old school.

Pietro read the note and smirked. His icy blue eyes looked up at Mandy and he nodded. Mandy giggled and went back to filing her nails. "My bimbos are way more fun than you, Pryde," Pietro retorted, and the silence fell between them again until class was dismissed.

Jean and Scott both sat down at the same lunch table. The table was actually Jean's typical spot, and after dumping Duncan had been more vacant lately. Scott seemed distracted as he ate his lunch.

"Do you wonder what Professor X is hiding from us?" he asked finally. Jean looked at him.

"About what, the new enemy? Not really. He'll tell us when he wants to." Jean held full trust in Xavier and unlike Scott didn't question what he did. Scott didn't seem satisfied and moved some mashed potatoes around on his tray.

"It can't be that bad, right? Apocalypse had to be way worse." Scott looked up as Kurt sat with them.

"Vhat's up, guys?" Kurt asked while playing with his food. Jean smiled a little while poking the stone-like meatloaf with a fork.

"Not much. Have you seen Tabitha around? I think she stole my lipstick this morning." Jean frowned at the thought of it. Tabitha was really pushing every nerve she had.

"No. Have you seen Kitty? Or Lance, for that matter?" Kurt asked, semi-dramatically. The older mutants whipped their heads around and scanned the area for Lance.

"He's already dating? Who?" Scott asked. Kurt pointed over to a girl with short brown hair in pigtails. Scott and Jean's jaws fell to the table. Rogue and Kitty both had taken their seats with them. Rouge waved a hand in front of Scott's face. She followed his gaze to Lance's new fling.

"What are we looking at?" She asked in annoyance. Kitty was babbling on about the horrible food in ignorance.

"It's.Rahne!" Scott said lamely. Kurt nodded knowingly.

"Ya, Kitty will be pissed vhen she finds out." Kitty looked at him funny.

"What about me?"

Kurt turned around and jumped a little. "Vell.Rahne stole you're.you're."

"Man!" Rogue blurted as Lance took a seat with Rahne and the other new recruits. Jean felt flushed in embarrassment and got up muttering something about jello. Scott gripped the table for support in case Hurricane Kitty started again. Kitty's face drained of color. Calmly she got up and began walking to the bathroom. Todd and Freddy, who were sitting alone, snickered a little as she walked by their table.

"Looks like Kitty just lost her property, yo!" Todd said to Freddy. Freddy just took a big bite out of his sandwich.

"Hey Jubes, can I have your mashed potatoes?" Bobby asked eagerly. Jubilee looked at her tray in disgust.

"Whatever," she looked up and saw the other mutant table looking at them. She shifted in her seat and looked at Rahne and Lance. Rahne blinked and looked at her in expectation. Lance met eyes with Jubes and turned around to see Kitty's retreating back. He shrugged and continued eating.

"It's cool," Rahne said hesitantly as Amara began to get up to follow her.

"Not really! Messing with the Brotherhood is never cool!" she blurted out. Bobby stopped eating.

"Amara, sometimes you just have to let others join you're pack even if it bothers you!" Rahne reasoned as her alpha wolf senses kicked in. Amara turned red in anger.

"I'M NOT A WOLF!" she roared. The Brotherhood guys bothered her and if it weren't for Tabitha she'd never stand within two feet of them. Bobby and Jubilee watched dumbly as Lance and Rahne left. Amara sat down and tossed her hair. Both Bobby and Jubilee gaped at her.

"Jeez, the Brotherhood moves in and everything becomes some angst fanfic!" Bobby muttered. Both girls raised an eyebrow.

Kitty stared into the mirror. She was fine. She would have to learn self-control so these things don't bother her. But with the new enemy, Lance, Pietro and the community closing down mutant facilities.

No one would mention it anymore it was so bad. The government and over half of the population are trying to get rid of all mutants. Everyone knew it and yet no one would take action to stop it. It made Kitty angry. Angrier than anyone knew. It was always on her mind. She'd watch it in the news, news with pictures of the Institute and of the Professor. Yet everyone but Kitty had tolerance and patience to deal with this when it came at it's climax. The Brotherhood house was only the start.

Kitty gasped in mid thought. Her hand had absently phased through the mirror. She yanked a little. It was still stuck. Kitty's heart raced a little. She pulled and pulled. Her hand was in pain now, and the glass was actually cutting through it, causing blood too trickle down the sides. Kitty gave a small cry and tugged, focusing on her phasing powers.

"Kitty? What are ya doin?" Rogue walked in just as Kitty fell against a stall door when yanking her hand out of the mirror. Kitty shook her head.

"Like, stressing out, but it's ok really!" Kitty said with a grin. Rogue noticed a thin stream of blood flowing from her hand onto the floor. She looked at the mirror, which had a smear of blood on it also.

"Kitty! What the Hell happened!?" Rogue exclaimed. Kitty grabbed some tissue paper to clean her hand and the mirror.

"My powers went crazy. It was just all of the stress lately. It won't happen again." She wiped the glass and turned back to Rogue. "You won't tell, right?" Kitty asked. Rogue sighed in annoyance.

"Yeah, ah won't. Unless you do it again." Rogue left, with Kitty following happily behind her.

Professor Xavier was in deep thought, connected to Cerebro. His eyes suddenly opened in shock, and Cerebro shut down as he took the helmet off. The other four adults stood in wait for him to come out. When he did, Logan got up.

"How many this time?" Logan asked. The Professor shook his head sadly.

"Twenty in this area and counting. Most of the mutants that have disappeared haven't even become aware of their powers. I can't find a source anywhere. You would think with that much power it would be easy. I can't trace or predict when others disappear either." Ororo's eyes widened a little.

"How does this mutant track others? Is he killing them as well as taking their powers?"

"No. They simply become human." Professor Xavier rubbed his eyes. He had been up all night monitoring this. Beast cleared his throat.

"Umm.I didn't want to bring it up now, but there are protesters outside." Logan frowned and began to leave.

"Wait Logan! Let me go," Mystique left quickly. Logan growled a little and sat back down.

"Mystique can stop them without the lashing of claws," Xavier said sternly. He looked at the others. "What we need to do is contact Magneto. I'm sure he is aware of this also. I'll send Mystque to-"

"Isn't that putting too much trust in her?" Logan asked. "She hasn't proven herself to us!"

"No, and she can handle the situation. Right now I want you and Ororo to locate Wanda. Her power signal seemed to fade, and I'm thinking she was a victim to our new enemy."

Prepare for a Wanda chapter next! Some Rogue chapters are abound soon too. I just need to get the plot going right now. R&R everyone! Thanx again to my motivations, the reviewers!!
