Okidoke people, here you are! Chapter four! Yey! And sorry it took so long; I've been busy with my site and not really in the mood,
Kk, I have reviews, hurrah.
Firstly, to most of you, It won't be Kitty/Remy, MWAH HA HA HA HAAAAA!
KS-fan: I know I have a few *very* long sentences, I'll try cut them down a bit. Thanks for the compliments!!
Polouchi: Nari made me do it! Lol, she's just passing on the Remy obsession I think…
Georgia Peach: Nope, neither of those pairings, hehehehe.
Tiger5913: Not Kurtty, oh I love keeping people confused.
Jacina: thanks for the review and I'm afraid Pyro won't be in very much at all, I don't know the character enough.
Also, to Nari, mellissarxy1, Tigeress moon, X-fan, Arekanderu and Elfchik, thank you for reviewing and saying nice things! Lol.
DISCLAIMER: Nope, still don't own X-men Evolution or any of the characters, I would have owned a motorcycle gang but I decided to make her join the acolytes instead.
Anyhoo, on with the story.

--Chapter four—
Remy took Kitty back to the acolyte's hideout on his motorbike, she was fairly nervous of him, only understandable considering, but she was confident that now she was on her guard, she'd be able to get out of any trouble.
As soon as they arrived, Kitty was taken straight to Magneto's office, Remy was keeping a careful eye on her, he still didn't entirely trust her either…
After a brief conversation between Remy and Magneto, during which Kitty was left under the watchful eye of Piotr, she was asked to come into the office. Thankful to be away from the Russian's piercing stare, she practically bolted into the room just as Remy was leaving.
"Good luck petite." He winked at her as he walked off; she just rolled her eyes and took the seat offered to her by Magneto.
"Why do you want to join us?" he asked as soon as she was seated.
"Wow, not one for the small talk are ya? To be honest with you, I can't stay with the X-men, I can't stay with the brotherhood, I have no money for anywhere else."
"What's to stop you going straight back to the X-men after sorting out whatever differences have come between you?"
"I'm not gonna talk to them to sort out the 'differences', I'm sick of them and I wanted out, I ended up here, end of story."
"No, not end of story, you may stay here, but you are not allowed to leave, you can't have a free reign about the compound and you will have to do something to prove your worth."
Kitty nods, she'd expected as much anyway "What will I have to do?"
"I don't know yet, it depends what comes up. Remy will show you to your room." He waves his hand, dismissing her. She stood up and walked out to find Remy leant casually against the wall, shuffling his ever-present deck of cards, he looked up expectantly "Since y'walked out an' I wasn' called in t'drag y'to a holdin' cell, 'm guessin' y'in?"
Kitty nodded and Remy pushed himself away from the wall.
"Y'room's dis way." He said, leading her to it (and of course pointing out his on the way, earning rolled eyes and a 'look' from Kitty).
When they reached the room, Kitty dumped her bag on the bed and turned to look at Remy, who was stood leaning against the doorframe.
"What?" she snapped, slightly annoyed.
"What's y'name? Mags said y'were called Kitty, but y'don' look like a Kitty t'me…"
"I used to be, before…before I changed, now I go by Kat."
Remy smiled "Y'grew up den."
Kitty nodded, then pushed him back from the doorframe, causing him to stumble slightly, and shut the door in his face. She sat down on the bed, wondering vaguely if she made the right choice, then pushing the thoughts aside, at least these people wouldn't notice her acting differently, but what would they want her to do to 'prove her worth'?
Back at the X-mansion, it was getting late and people were starting to worry about Kitty, Rogue called the brotherhood house, but upon finding it busy she quickly put it down again in case it was Kitty trying to phone them.
Five minutes later the phone rang and Rogue snatched it up.
"Kitty?" Rogue demanded angrily.
"Uh…no, it's Lance…" said a hesitant voice on the other end "But I take it that means Kitty isn't there?"
"No, she isn't, ah thought she was with you." Rogue said, starting to sound very worried.
"Oh…umm…we should go look for her, she could be in trouble…"
"Yea, and after the way she was actin' earlier, she probably isn't thinkin' clearly, we hafta find her."
"Ok, meet me here in ten minutes?"
"Ah'll be there." Rogue put the phone down and went to find the professor.
As soon as she had explained that she and Lance were going to go look for Kitty, the professor nodded his agreement, but said if they didn't find her by ten they had to come home and could go search again in the morning.
Rogue met Lance at the brotherhood house, both of them wore almost identical looks of worry and Lance seemed fairly confused.
"I thought you didn't like Kitty anyway?"
"Ah didn't, but ah've made friends with her over the past couple of days, and ah still worry if she's missin', she *is* a team mate..."
Lance nods his understanding and the two head off down the street.
"So, where are we goin' first?" Rogue asks.
"The mall, she spends half her life there, maybe she went back for, what is it she always talks about? Retail therapy?"
"Yea… we were there before, but she mahght go back, it's as good a place to start lookin' as any."
They searched the mall, and then headed for some of the other places they thought Kitty might have gone to, and then places she might go to with her new image, but there was no sign of her.
Kitty, by that point, had nothing else to do and so had gone to sleep, having no idea that Rogue and Lance were scouring Bayville for her, worried sick.
Eventually, just as they'd finished checking out Bayville's one and only under 18s club, Rogue looked at her watch.
"Shit…Ah told the professor ah'd be back bah ten." Rogue muttered and turned to head back to the institute.
"But what about Kitty?" Lance demanded.
"Ororo and Logan are gonna carry on lookin' tonahght, we can go out searchin' again in the mornin' if she's still not been found." Rogue told him "Ah'll ring ya if we fahnd her."
"No, when she gets back I want to be there, think the professor will let me stay with you guys overnight?" He asked, looking relieved when Rogue nodded.
They walked back to the mansion in silence, and when they arrived hardly anyone said anything other than them asking if Lance could stay, the professor agreeing, and Lance and Rogue telling Logan and Storm where they'd been.
As the two turned in for the night, they were both thinking the same thing, 'I hope Kitty's alright'
Kitty herself was tossing and turning as she relived the attack, in the nightmare world that was always a thousand times worse and where she remembered every detail…
