"Once again, we have been bested," the blue skinned woman paced in front of the small group of teenagers, "Bested even with the X-Men on our side, and betrayed by one of our own."
"Ruddy, little." Fred Dukes, know to his many as the Blob, "Come on, Mystique, let us at him."
"Yeah," the Toad leaped over the couch to stare at the woman in front of him, "Let us show him what it means to betray the Brotherhood. Yeah. Yeah."
"No, you idiots," Mystique shot back at the teenagers, voice filled with venom, "Quicksilver doesn't matter anymore, he's worthless. Let Magneto have him. With the X-Men refusing to work with us we have to be stronger than before. What's important now is getting the next player before the others."
"Next player?" Wanda decided to put in, lounging casually across a chair, "What player is this exactly?" The others around her grumbled their agreement. Mystique let a small smile curve across her lips.
"Lance, I have something for you to do," she began, her voice gaining an ominous good cheer, "I need you to go find someone for me."
The gang of mutants known as the Brotherhood looked at each other with similar expressions.
'Great. What's she going on about now.."

"Stop pushing"
"But you're hogging all the room."
"I am not, I'm just trying to see what they're doing."
"That doesn't mean you get to take up all the space."
Kitty Pryde and Evan Daniels followed that with a short but furious elbow fight for the best position spying through the window at the Brotherhood of mutants.
Kitty reached out and shoved Evan onto the ground and smugly took up a position in front of the window. She peered carefully inside, frowning at what she could make out.
"They're up to something, Evan," she whispered to her fellow X-Man, who sat grumbling on the ground, glaring up at his partner, "I just know it!"
"What's new about that?" Evan shot back at her, somewhat cross with the teenage girl, "Those guys are always up to something. They're the bad guys it's what they do."
"Yeah, I know, but this time it seems." Kitty shot back at him, exasperation showing in her voice, "Get down! They're coming out h ere!"
The two teens threw themselves into the surrounding bushes. Their cover was good, completely hiding them from view. But the noise they made as they attempted to straighten themselves out was horrendous.
The door to the Brotherhood house opened. Toad's head was stuck out, giving a nervous glance to the bush that held their enemies. "But guys," he whined to his fellow housemates, I was sure their was something out there."
"You're just hearing things, man," came the voice of Lance Alvers as he stepped into view. "Nobody's there, Todd. Stop freaking out." The senior walked down the porch and towards his parked car.
"Remember, Lance," came the stern voice of Mystique from the house, "Failure is not on option. Bring her back."
"Yea, yea, Mystique. I'll bring her back, don't worry." Lance's voice was casual and laid back; "You said she's be at the school, right?"
"Yes," was the blue skinned mutants response, "Registering for school. Don't fail me this time. I want Dawn Summers as part of our team."
"Sure, boss lady!" was the confident answer she received, "Piece of cake! I mean, she's just a sixteen-year-old girl. How hard is this going to be?" Of course, Lance was only a year older, at seventeen. But, he didn't seem to take this into consideration as he hopped into his jeep and took off towards Bayville High.
The Brotherhood took this as their cue to go on with their regular lives. The teenagers and Mystique re-entered the house and went about whatever they cared to. Outside, however, things were a little more hectic.
"Jeez!" came the cry from the mutant know as Shadowcat, "we've got to go after him. Stop him from convincing that mutant to join the Brotherhood!" She was all riled up and ready for a confrontation.
"Yea, and we'll do that, Kitty," responded Spyke, "As soon as we go report to Scott what's going on. You know he told us to tell him when something happens. If we head back to the mansion now."
"Head back to the mansion!" Kitty's cry was horrified, "But we don't have the time! We need to go after Lance now!"
"We'll have better luck if we go get the others! Hurry, we're wasting time!" Evan reached out to grab Kitty's arm so that they could start off towards home and backup.
"You're right, we are wasting time," Kitty conceded, but as his hand reached to grab her, it passed right through her. " I'm not going to let him win again. I'll show him that the X-Men are twice as good as the Brotherhood!"
With that, Kitty Pryde took off sprinting towards the school, leaving Evan Daniels behind torn in indecision. His eyes nervously went back and forth. Kitty or Scott? Kitty or Scott?
Suddenly, Spyke began running towards what was left of the X-Mansion. He better get some backup.

Okay, I'm very sorry about the long update time, but I was kind of stuck for a couple days. Plus, the life of a high schooler .
