A/N: Ok, guess I lied about the chapter up before Monday thing. I really tried to get it up then but my teacher didn't edit two of my essays when she was supposed to so I had to do both of those before I could really do anything else, but it's here and it's only been a week, so please don't kill me or something.

Lynx slowly opened her eyes, seeing colors blurred and mixed together. Blinking for a few minutes, the colors came together, taking the shape of a woman in a white lab coat, dark hair pulled back in a bun, glasses, blue eyes. "Glad to see your awake, how's your eyesight doing?" the woman picked up a clip board, writing a few things on it.
"Why do you care, Ms. Crowe?" Lynx growled as she tried to get up, only to find that her arms and legs were bound by large, heavy chains, holding her against a bed.
"You remember me? Very good sign." Samantha said the last sentence to herself as she wrote a few more things.
"How could I not? You stink, what do you do? Bathe in perfume?"
"You know Lynx, you should respect your elders."
"Should, but wont, now let me go." Lynx pulled at the chains.
"I didn't want to do that, but after hearing about your temper from your boyfriend, I figured it was for the best."
"Piotr? What'd you do with him?"
"Hypnosis can be a wonderful thing cant it?" Samantha smirked, as Lynx pulled at the chains more, only to feel them dig into her skin.
"The more you pull, the more pain your going to feel. And about Piotr, he's in containment for a little bit, at least until you cooperate with me."
"Why would I cooperate with you? Who are you?"
"You only need to know my name, Ms. Crowe, and that I would like you on my team."
"I already have a team."
"Not anymore, don't you know? Erik gave you to me, I'm sure he finally got tired of you giving him orders."
"Bitch." Lynx glared at Ms. Crowe as she walked around the medical table, putting the clip board down and idly adjusting her glasses.
"Be nice Lynx, your going to be spending a lot of time with me and my team."
"You cant keep me here."
"Yes I can, the second you disobey me, that pretty boy of yours wont be around anymore."
Lynx's jaw dropped as she started growling. "You'd kill him?"
"Isn't that what I just said?" Samantha smiled to Lynx before leaving the room.

Tyler sat on a park bench as Marie lay next to him, her head in his lap. "Hey Ty, I've been thinking, we haven't gotten a fight from Lynx in a while, do you think that's bad?" Marie closed her eyes as the sun rose in the air, shining right on her face.
"I don't know Marie, but Lynx always was a strong person, she'd never let anyone hurt her." Tyler sighed, he never liked thinking about Lynx.
"I'm sorry Ty, I know you hate talking about her, but remember, she was my friend too, we both lost her." Marie opened her eyes slightly, reaching her hand up and lightly running a finger down his cheek.
"I know, but I do worry about her sometimes, I mean, I was her best friend, and because of me, she cant see."
"Don't blame yourself Ty, you just did what any X-Man would."
"Yeah, your right, and if anything, she only got better at fighting."
"Yeah, besides, she doesn't have to look at her b/f, I swear he's on steroids." Marie sat up as a few guys walked past the bench, smiling to her. Tyler glanced at the guys as his hands began to glow red. "Um, Ty, if you wanna keep your hands, you might wanna calm down." Tyler looked down at his hands as the energy left his skin.
"Come on Marie, lets go back home and watch a movie or something." Tyler stood up as James ran to them.
"Tyler! Marie! I just saw my dad, he was running around looking for something, and he said something about Lynx and a 'new team'." Marie quickly stood up when she heard Lynx's name.
"What new team?" Tyler asked.
"I don't know, that's all I heard."
"Come on, we have to tell my mom." Marie grabbed Tyler as her wings appeared, flying off towards the mansion as James followed on the ground.

Lynx looked around the room some more, it seemed like hours since Ms. Crowe had left. After a while Lynx fell asleep, she couldn't wait for someone she didn't even know to come back.

"What have you done with Lynx?" Piotr stood in a catainment cell that he couldn't get out of, not even with the help of his metallic mutation.
"We've done nothing to hurt her." Samantha looked at the teenage boy carefully beforeing leaving the room, followed by a man in a lab coat.

Marie, Tyler, and James rushed through the front door and into the foyer, almost running into Logan.
"What are you wearing?" Logan growled to Marie as his claws extended.
"We'll talk about that later daddy, but right now, something's happened to Lynx!"
"What happened?"
"Don't know, but James overheard Pietro talking about Lynx and a new team or something." Logan's claws retracted as he walked off towards Charles's office.
"Well…that went better then expected." Marie watched Logan leave before turning to face the boys behind her.

"Lynx, wake up." Samantha stood over Lynx as the girl's eyes opened. "I've decided I'm going to take you to meet your new team." Lynx pulled against the restraints and was relieved to find that they were gone.
"What do you mean 'my new team'?" Lynx jumped off the table.
"I have a new team I would like you to meet, and soon, you will be part of that team."
"What about Piotr?"
"He may be added to the team later on, but for now, it's just you. Come, follow me." Ms. Crowe turned her back to Lynx and walked out the door.
Lynx slowly followed, fighting the urge to kill the woman who gave her back her sight. They walked through too many doors to count before stopping at a metal door with no windows. "This Lynx, is the training room." Ms. Crowe knocked on the door as a scientist opened it, letting them come in.
"Show Lynx the new team." Ms. Crowe smiled as the scientist had a woman take a step forward.
Lynx looked towards the brown haired woman as her jaw dropped. "Ki…Kitty?"
