Chapter 12:

***At Magz's Lair

"What-the-freak-do-you-want-with-meh-you-bastard?!" Kris said as she was chained to the wall by wrists and ankles, still struggling. "This-is-very-uncomfortable-you-know."

"I hear you are dating my son," Magneto says sitting down on a metal chair. Kris just glared.

"So what are you going to do with her? Make Mastermind brainwash or control?" John said flipping his lighter.

"Control of course," Magneto said. "We don't want her loosing her wonderful memories," he added with a sneer.

"All-right-you-bozo,-if-you-even-think-of-having-to-do-anything-with-me-than-your-gonna-regret-it-for-the-rest-of-your-freakin-life!" Kris said still looking disgusted.

"Someone knows how to talk," Gambit said.

"So are we going to have a test run?" Pyro said still fiddling with his shark lighter. Magneto smirked and nodded to Mastermind who came out of the shadows with green eyes.

***At the Institute where Danielle is being treated

"Owe!" Danielle screamed as she was suddenly aware of the pain of the cut on her forehead now being cleaned by Jean. "Can't someone give me anesthetic?" She said gritting her teeth. Jean laughed.

"No. Can you sit up?" Jean asked taking out a roll of bandages.

"Yea I think," Danielle tried to sit up, after some struggling she was sitting up on the cold, metal bed. She drifted off thinking about Michael and what happened to him, the next thing she knew she had heavy bandaging around her slightly bruised ribs.

"You have to stay in bed, leave only to go to the bathroom and use a crutch okay?" Jean said and floated the confused girl into the room she shared with Kris.

"Great, just what I need to stay in bed for a week." Danielle sighed as she pulled up her pillow so she could sit. "Can someone get me a book?"

"Sure, I'll ask one of the kids to bring one up." Jean turned around and headed for the door. "And don't move!"

"How is she?" Storm asked with some of the girls behind her.

"She'll be fine," Jean said with a smile. There was a knock on the door.

"Hey sweetie!" Amara said as she came in with Kitty, Jubilee, and Rogue.

"How ya feelin' shugah?" Rogue asked sitting herself at the edge of Danielle's bed.

"Useless, tired, bored, want me to go on?" Danielle moved a lock of hair behind her ear with a grunt ~Damn, why did he have to kick me?~ She wondered slowly putting her hand down.

"That's okay. We brought you something." Jubs said for the group and took out a bag.

"Hope you like it." Amara added. Danielle opened the white plastic bag and found two books by Laurell K. Hamilton.

"Thanks you guys! Where is everyone else?" Danielle wondered.

"Like the boys are talking to Michael downstairs," Kitty said rolling her eyes. "Go figure."

"Oh, the dragon boy? What's he up to now?" Danielle said with sarcasm.

"Oh so that's why he had to come with," Jubilee said hitting her head laughing.

"What do you mean?" Amara asked.

"Ah think he's a mutant too. He's probably acting like a hero even though he didn't exactly save yah or Kitty's cousin," Rogue said placing her fists on her hips.

"Ehem," Michael said leaning on the door.

"Well speak of the devil," Rogue said running out with the other girls at her heels.

"So...uh...how are you feeling?" Michael asked still at the doorway.

"Great...but I probably looked pathetic there," Danielle said looking down. Michael smiled.

"I guess I'll be staying here...with my powers and all. Um...so maybe...if you want...do you wanna go to the movies with me...I mean..." Michael said blushing, rubbing the back of his neck. ~Now I really wish I wasn't in crutches~ Danielle thought.

"Yeah...after Jean stops barking at me to stay in bed," she said smiling at him.

"Cool...so...um...I guess you need your rest," Michael said.

"Um...yeah...I guess..." Danielle answered. "Bye dragon boy," she teased.

"Yeah, see ya 'round byotch," he joked as Danielle threw a pillow at him.

***Back at the B-hood

"WHAT?!" Pietro said looking as if he was about to explode.

"Hey, I'm just repeating what Lance's Kitty cat said yo!" Toad said hiding behind Wanda. Pietro zoomed off but was stopped in his tracks by Wanda's powers.

"You can't just leave now," Wanda said.

"And why not?" Pietro tried to complain.

"Ooh, and that Michael guy is a mutant too yo. He's gonna be an X-geek now so he can be with his sugarlumps just as I did," Toad added as he looked up to his dearly beloved Wanda, who slapped him.

"That girl who was trying to save Kris got a broken rib now, I doubt you can do any better," Lance said as he came through the entrance door. Pietro glared in frustration.

"I-can-too-if-only-my-SISTER-could-maybe-free-my-feet!" Pietro said growing into outrage.

***That afternoon

~Jean, I can sense Kris is in trouble. Sabertooth, Gambit, and Pyro are with her in an alley.~ The professor thought to Jean using his powers.

~Alright professor, I will warn the others and we'll be on our way.~ Jean thought back.

***In the alley

"Huh? Where am I?" Kris said dizzily as three strange looking figures approached her. She noticed she was not wearing the clothes she usually wears. Instead...to Kris's disgust, she was wearing something like a uniform. It was almost like Pietro's exept...ehem...the top was like a belly button shirt and was black and bright orange, not white and whatever shade of blue Pietro has on his suit that he made in a quarter second.

"Mrs. Maximoff is awake, what do we do now?" Pyro joked flipping his lighter again as he leaned against the red brick wall.

"We wait," Sabertooth practically growled sniffing the air constantly for any sign of Wolverine.

"What?-Wait-for-what?-And-you-get-your-stinkin'-hands-off-me!" Kris demanded to Gambit who held her restrained.

"There they are!" Scott said as he came in ready to blast. Shadowcat, Wolverine, Iceman, Jean, Rogue, Spyke, and Amara appeared right after him.

"Let's pick-up the heat shades!" Pyro smirked as he started to make fire shaped like horses. Amara charged up in front of Pyro as Logan, Iceman, and Jean were fighting Sabertooth.

"All right Gambit, let my cousin go," Kitty said as Spyke and Rogue backed her up.

"Ah, Chere, Remy thinks you three should take that back," Gambit smirked. Spyke raised an eyebrow as Rogue took off a glove.

"Wow, someone knows how to fight in style," Rogue whispered to Kitty, looking at Kris's new "uniform."

Just then Kris's eyes turned green and then looked like a cat's yellow eyes as Gambit let go of her. "Kris...Kris? Whoah, uhh...are those contact lenses?" Spyke said backing up.

"Kr--" Kitty was interrupted as Kris sped behind her and knocked her to the floor. Spyke shot a spike to pin her to the wall but missed as Kris ran around him causing a whirlwind to form and send Evan crashing into Rogue.

"Ah think I'll let you finish the job," Gambit said to Hyperspeed calmly as he crossed his arms. Kris used her powers to run up to the moaning mutants who were trying to get up, but then she was hurled pressed into a wall and couldn't move.

"Rrr, Bobby...freeze her...I can't--" Jean said as she tried to keep Hyperspeed pinned, but then she saw a charged card fall next to her foot. It exploded and Jean let go of Kris. Hyperspeed zoomed towards Bobby who kept missing his frozen shots at her and soon found himself in an igloo.
