Okay. I thought about what you said, Terminatrix T-X, and you're right, Theo doesn't really have much, yet. But for now, Cat is the picture, and Theo is the frame. Theo will join the picture later.
Here we go! Now we start entering the X-men 'verse.
Also, I have selected a winner for the naming Theo contest, but I'm not going to introduce it yet. He has to 'come up with it' on his own.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was nearly ten o'clock by the time Cat and Theo crossed the Brooklyn Bridge into New York City, but Cat knew exactly where Henry was: where he always was, his lab on Chambers Street. They caught a taxi: as much as Cat hated to spend the money, she could tell Theo didn't have much run left in him. She was surprised he'd made it as far as he did. She sometimes forgot that other people weren't capable of the things she was, so second nature her abilities had become. The taxi was faster, though arguably so.
"And you make fun of my driving," she muttered at Theo as their driver leaned heavily on his horn while simultaneously changing lanes, badly. Theo simply gulped, his eyes long since tightly shut.
"What address'd you say?" the driver asked, not having heard her comment.
"Just drop us at Indepence Plaza," she told him, then poked Theo in the ribs. "C'mon. Open your eyes. Have you ever been to New York before?"
"Once," he admitted, looking at her through slits in his eyelids. "When I was eight. I liked Little Italy, hated Chinatown. It smelled."
"It does tend to do that in the summer," she agreed with the tolerance of experience. "You get used to it."
"I don't think I'd want to," Theo said, with the beginnings of a smile that abruptly disappeared as the driver slammed the brakes and they were both thrown against their seatbelts, which Theo had, quite wisely, insisted they wear.
"In-de-pend-ance Plaza," the driver said, as though simply getting there was some major accomplishment.
"Thank you," she said, as though it was, and she quickly paid him and tugged Theo towards Henry's building.
The sight of the policemen out front made her stop. "Shit," she quickly swore, and jogged through the alleyway to the back. Squinting critically at the second story window she judged to be Henry's, she lobbed a piece of broken cement at it, and after a minute, Henry's blue furred head appeared.
"Cat?" he called in an exaggerated whisper.
"Yeah, it's me."
His eyes found her and he smiled tightly. "Come on up. Hurry."
She grabbed Theo by the front of his shirt and began climbing up to his window.
"You're very strong," Theo remarked casually, looking down at the ground with horrified interest as it disappeared.
"Lucky for you," she retorted, handing him up to Dr. Henry McCoy's blue furred hands before climbing in herself.

Review! The more I get the faster I update!
I think that Beast (Henry McCoy) was woefully left out of the movie 'verse, and I'm fixing that. He's not just there 'cause I like him, though, he's important. You'll see.
