Krista sat in her bedroom later that evening. She was scared and hadn't talked to anyone all day. After Berzerker had brought her back here she hadn't moved. She was to afraid to. She had always dreaded something like this would happen and now it had. Krista's past had been a living nightmare from the very beginning. Her mother had moved to America and meet her father. Her father was not German like her mother and both used to quarrel about foolish things like what language they would teach her first. After her brother died things just got worse. Her powers manifested and she was a metemorph and then her father left them. He left them because of her. The most horrid thing of all was the betrayal. Krista had meet a group of mutants called The Grimmigs and one of the mutants there was called Cosmos. Cosmos highly disliked Krista. As a matter of fact she didn't like any of the Grimmigs. Alate, Aeon, Actinic, Phantom, and Sounder were all in the group. Phantom may be shalow but Cosmos tipped the scale. She disliked everything. What with her past it was hard not to. She lived on another planet and a group of evil space mutants or something destroyed everyone, except Cosmos. As revenge Cosmos tried to kill every mutant she came across. Her best friend Lightbolt and Krista were just the first ones on her list. Cosmos had trapped Krista and Lightbolt in another dimension with another mutant named Ram. Ram had placed Krista under mind control for eight years. Krista was barley getting over it when her teleportation stopped working. See, Krista's teleportation was never her original X-jean. Her metamorphism was but not her teleportation. Ram had turned her into a teleporter to be used as a tool. She was his way out of the dimension. But Ram had made a mistake. Krista could then escape and escape she did. And now Ram wanted her back. Back in the Danger Room was a warning. A warning not to rely on her powers because he was coming back and they would be of no use. He could disable her teleportation and then she was doomed. Krista sobbed silently to herself. She had barely arrived at the mansion and didn't want to go back. She didn't want to go back to the horrible island in which she was kept. Slowly she fell asleep, terrified of what was happening to her. Not only were her peaceful friends on warpath but she was also in danger of her life. Oh why was life so complicated!

It was morning and someone was shaking her gently awake. Krista groaned slightly and burrowed under the covers further, the previous days events forgotten momentarily. All she knew was she wanted to sleep. "Common Krista. Wake up will ya?" It was Ray. Krista poked her head out from under the covers and looked up at him sleepily. "Do I have to?" Ray smiled. "You don't have to but you should. Mr. Logan wants to talk to you about yesterday. I think Professors trying to make him apologize." Krista shook her head. "Forget it! I am not leaving this room." She said. she sat up pulling the blankets with her. Ray smiled. "Well will you at least talk with me about it? Your hiding something and all I wanna do is help." He turned serious. "You know something about what happened and your not telling us. Ever since we found you you've been secretive and pulled to yourself. You can trust us Krista and we won't let anything happen to you." He said. He sat down next to her. "I won't let anything happen to you." Krista shook her head sadly. "I can't tell what I keep hidden. It's too risky. And no one can keep me safe from him." She said snarling and spitting the word out like a curse.

Ray nodded. "I understand. But if something's going on were there besides you. You're not alone no more. You're with the X-men now and we'll protect you. Were a team, and we just want you to trust us." Ray said exiting the room.

"I wish I could Ray, I really do."
