fetus, and Sashi's Happy Dance!
I hope you like this situation, and I like your reviews, so keep 'em coming!

That night, Kitty awoke to the sound of screaming. She looked out her cell to see a young girl, about her age. She was kicking and screaming, with wild, flyaway hair, and crazy eyes. Three young cops were struggling with her, and she was putting up quite a fight.
Kitty saw an elder cop, moving toward the insane girl, but careful to stay clear of her kicking legs and long nails.
"So, Sashi. Back again?" He sighed. He had obviously seen this girl before, and from the way he was looking at her, he knew she was completely unstable. The girl seemed completely insane, mumbling about canned peaches. Just when it seemed she had calmed down, she burst free, running.
Kitty could now see the girl was half naked, with only a bra, and torn wrapping around her waist, which ended mid- thigh. Kitty begged to God that this girl would not be placed in a cell near her.
The girl seemed to be almost upon freedom, when another guard jumped and tackled her. She screamed some more, and though Kitty knew she would be in pain if that had happened to her, Sashi, as she had been called, seemed to ignore everything but screaming about peaches.
Together, about 5 cops threw her into a cell that had only been occupied by another young man, also about her age.
"JAMIE!" The girl screamed. The boy just looked up at her, and made an odd sound. His eyes popped, and Kitty could see he was scared for his life. "Now, Sashi," he said in a trembling voice. "Remember our rule? Keeping our hands to ourselves? Remember? Remember?" He whimpered.
Kitty saw that this boy was extremely frightened of Sashi. And she didn't blame him. The girl advanced upon the boy, who now had completely gone off the deep end. Kitty quickly closed her eyes and tried to sleep, despite the poor boy's screams.
This was going to be a long night.

Logan drove down the long black highway, wind whipping past him. No one was going to cage Kitty up for giving that jackass what he deserved. He was getting her out of there this instant. When he brought her back he didn't know what would happen. All he knew was that she getting out of there, now.
He took the appropriate exit, and drove for a little longer. Underneath his jacket was his uniform, and he planned what he would do when he got there. It was about 3:30 now, and there would only be one or two guards. He could easily take them out, then sneak Kitty out of there.
* * * * *
Xavier had decided what he was going to do. He collected the team together, and explained the plan to him. They all nodded, and Kurt was especially eager.
They suited up.

Jaime had stopped screaming a little while ago. Now, Kitty and Sashi were having a conversation that you might call.interesting. It seemed Sashi had been in jail so many times for several things.
For one, indecent exposure, which was why she was here today.
"Being naked is fun!" Sashi shouted, receiving several glares from formerly sleeping inmates. "It's so free, ya know?" Kitty looked aside. "Ya, I guess."
Sashi looked at her suspiciously. "So, what are you in here for? Not many girls our age would be here, excluding me, but you can't really include the insane, ya know?"
Kitty sighed. Now was as best a time as any. "I'm a mutant," she said. "And this guy was backing me up into an alley. He was about to rape me. And I used my power to kill him. That's why I'm here. I deserve to be." She said solemnly.
"Pfft!" Sashi said, waving her hand. "If it was self- defense, then you had every right to use your power. He could've killed you. In this world, it's kill or be killed. That's how I feel."
Kitty thought. Maybe Sashi was right. She could remember the look in Duncan's eyes. She wouldn't have put it past him to have taken out a knife and killed her right then and there.
"I guess." she said, looking down. "So, what's your power?" Sashi asked curiously.
"I can walk through walls." Kitty said. "That's awesome!" Sashi exclaimed. "Why don't you walk right out of here, then?"
"Because it's not right!" Kitty said, jumping up. "I deserve to be in here."
Sashi looked at her pointedly. "Listen, girl. Did anyone actually see ya do it?"
Kitty looked down at her feet. "No, but this old lady heard me talking-."
"Did anyone see ya do it?" Sashi asked again. "No."
Sashi smiled. "Then, in my book, at least, you're innocent. Now go get your ass out of here!" Kitty looked at Sashi. "If I do that, and they find me missing in the morning, what kind of life will I lead? I'll always be on the run from the law. Looking over my shoulder. Besides, how is that going to help mutants in the future?"
Sashi looked back at Kitty. "Ya, I guess your right. Not much of a life, after all."
Suddenly, shouts were heard. Kitty could hear a familiar "Snikt" and thumps that sounded suspiciously like bodies hitting the floor.
Sashi turned around, and shouted, "What the hell?" Suddenly, Logan came barreling down. He ran over to Kitty's cell. "Move outta the way, Half- Pint."
Kitty stared at him with wide eyes. "You didn't- you didn't kill them?"
"Nah, Half- Pint. Just knocked 'em out. Why haven't ya gotten yourself outta here?" He yelled.
"Because I deserve to be in here!" She screamed. "I'm a monster! Why don't anyone but the cops and me understand that?" She asked.
"Don't tell yourself you're a monster, Kit. It's not true. Everyone at home knows it. He would've killed you if he had the chance! Now, if you don't get yourself out, I'm going to slice this place up!"
Kitty looked him hard in the eyes, something she'd never done before. He saw defeat in her eyes, regret and sorrow.
"Sorry, Kit." He said softly. He proceeded to slice up to bars, and caught them before they made too much racket. "Now, C'mon." She followed him.
On the way, she said, "Sashi? You wanna get out? We both know you shouldn't be in here."
Sashi looked at her incredulously. "What, and give Jamie some peace and quiet? Never in a million years. But thanks."
Kitty laughed. "Sashi, you really are insane." Sashi smiled, and said, "It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it!" Her laughter could be heard all the way down the hall that Kitty left. "Friend of yours?" Logan asked.
"Well, let's just say that she convinced me I wasn't as much of a monster as I thought."
"Good for her, then." Kitty and Logan jumped onto his motorcycle, and drove back ways of the mansion. After about 10 minutes of driving, they saw the rest of the X-Men. Wolverine slowed to a stop.
Jean smiled at Kitty. "Good to have you back, Kitty." Then, telepathically, she shouted,

Back at the manor, Professor Xavier sat hooked up to Cerebro. He had zeroed in on Jean, and heard her call. Then, he used his powers to change the memories of all those who had seen the horrid event. The people of Bayville (the news had not gone national yet, thank god) didn't know who Kitty Pryde was. Duncan Matthews had been found alone in an alley; his death was caused by heart strain. Doctors assumed from stress.
* * * * *
The X-Men drove back to the manor peacefully. Kitty had fallen asleep, and no one dared even to stir to wake her up. Once at home again, she was put in her bed. Everyone, exhausted by the day's events, also headed to sleep. It would be quite a while before the X-Men, especially one Shadowcat, healed from the stress of what had happened.

Eh, I'm not too pleased with this chappy. Maybe I'll rewrite it later. Review, and give me suggestions about what to do next, etc. I have the last chappy already written, but I dunno if you guys want this story to end yet. Just say how ya feel in the reviews, k?
