OMG! I just saw X-Men 2 and I loved it!!!!!!!!!! There are some other characters that I plan to include.

Such as: Ice Man! (He's Gorgeous! (Bad girl, slaps self, You have Tim) Nightcrawler (Soooo awesome) and Pyro!

Okay, I had a call for more details, I can do that. I hope, well cross your fingers for me; here I go.

Disclaimer: I own no one, because I am not brilliant enough to create my own characters. I have to borrow other people's creations.

Mutant or Goddess?

Part Five

Despite her mother's wishes, Catty was hitchhiking. She was walking down the side of the highway; her thumb automatically thrusting itself out at the sound of an approaching car, which was happening less and less as the hours progressed. It was nearing midnight now, and the nearest town was another several miles away. Catty desperately wished for a kind driver to pick her and take her to her destination.

Her ears pricked at the sound of a motor, she stuck out her hand even though it didn't sound much like a car. She was caught in the headlight of a motorcycle. Oh crap, she thought. Just what I need, a disgruntled biker. Catty's walk had tired her and she was in no mood for time traveling, unless she really had too. The engine of the bike whirred and then stopped.

"You need a ride?" asked a voice.

"Maybe," said Catty, she looked warily at the driver of the bike, who glanced back at her without much enthusiasm. He was blond, not too much older then her and looked as if he could care less if she wanted a ride or not, but something inside her hated him on sight; and she glared at him. But she needed the ride and besides, thought Catty, if I have to escape, I'll be able too.

He tossed her an extra helmet and she stuck in on her head. As she looked down, Catty caught sight of her moon pendant; which now gleamed like a nightlight. She reached inside her sweater and closed her hand around it, feeling it's strength, her strength. "Ready to go?" asked her ride. Shoving the necklace inside her next layer of clothing, Catty climbed onto the motorcycle.

Stanton looked back at the girl riding behind him on the bike. He could take her, turn her to his side. It would be so easy, she's probably a run-away, he thought, no one would even realize what had happened to her.

Vanessa was a patient person. But at some point that night, her patience had worn out. This is ridiculous, she thought, I don't even know if she's going the same way as me. How is she supposed to find me? But at that moment, Catty and another person walked into the diner. Vanessa waved and Catty walked over, the handsome stranger following her.

Catty slid into the booth next to Vanessa, giving her a hug. "This is Stanton," she said after a moment, seeing Vanessa's questioning face. "He gave me a ride here." Vanessa disliked Stanton on sight, but Catty seemed to think nothing of it.

"Maybe we should find a motel or something, for tonight." Said Vanessa.

"Yeah, okay." said Catty reluctantly. Vanessa grabbed her hand and dragged her off. "Thanks so much Stanton,"

He waved at her. "I'll keep an eye out for you."

"Kay," pressed Vanessa. "Gotta go now." She pulled Catty out the door, tossing a few quarters tip on the table as she left.

"He was so nice," said Catty. "He gave me a ride all the way from the freeway."

"I don't like him, something isn't right." replied Vanessa. Together they walked to a cheap motel across the road. Not a word had been spoken about their destination.

He hadn't taken her, hadn't wanted too. Not once he had seen her friend, she was a daughter, he was sure. He would follow them, and when the time was right he would take them both.
