Kurt sat at the kitchen table, wondering where Kitty was. When Kitty had
stomped off in a rage, she had left everyone in shock, giving her the
chance to go to... Wherever she had gone.
A few minutes after Kitty had left, her mother and father had gone home, neither one looking very worried. "She does this all the time..." They had said. "We've lost count of the times she's 'run away...'" They had said. "It's her way of dealing with problems..." They had said. Kurt glared at the table in front of him. What kind of parents acted like that??
Ororo sat across the table from him, most likely wondering the same thing that Kurt was, either that or wondering why Kurt was trying to burn a hole in the table. She got up at the sound of a knock on the front door of the mansion, motioning him to stay where he was.
"Hello, can I help you?" She asked whoever it was that was there. Kurt's hopes of it being Kitty were dashed.
"I am looking for Kitty Pryde?" A boy's voice said. "I was told she might be here?..." He trailed off uncertaintly.
"She isn't here right now, but she could be home any minute... She seems to have disappeared. Would you like to wait here for her for awhile, or come back later and try again?" Ororo asked.
"Can I wait and see if she gets back before I have to go home?" Ororo must have nodded, because he said, "Thank you... My name is Ki`ttyn, but a lot of my friends call me Ten..."
"And my name is Ororo. Would you like something to drink?"
"Yes, please, if you do not mind..." Kit answered.
Kurt switched on his holographic thingy.
A boy, Kit, Kurt believed he had said his name was, walked in with Ororo. He had brown hair that was so light it was almost blond. He had brown eyes with blue spots in them. Strange eyes... Almost made Kurt think he was a mutant.
"So, what would you like?" Ororo opened the fridge.
"Can I just have water please?" Kit asked.
Ororo nodded. "Why don't you sit down? Oh, and this is Kurt." Ororo handed Ten the glass of water and sat down in one of the other chairs. "So, how do you know Kitty?"
"Oh, ummm... We knew each other when we were little, and then we met up by chance later, in... Ummm... Yeah..." Ten's eyes seemed to get more brown and less blue.
"In? You mean when Kitty was in... the... umm... Asylum?" Ororo asked.
"Umm... Yeah..."
"Why were YOU in a nut-house?" Mina asked, walking in.
"I had hallucinations, supposedly." Ten said offhandedly.
"Cool. What were they like? What was it like living in a nut-house?" Mina asked excitedly, then sobered, thinking of something. "Or was it so long ago that you forget?"
"Actually, I just got out." He laughed at the look on Mina's face. "What, are you not accustomed to spending time around CRAZY people?" He reached out his hand in a sharp motion, and Mina screamed and ran out. He laughed again. "I have a feeling that she's going to be running around telling people that there is a crazy-man in the building who is going to kill everyone. My sister would have, at least, and she reminds me of my DARLING younger sibling." He smiled at Ororo and Kurt.
Kurt decided he liked this boy. "Did you really just get out, or did you just say that to scare her?"
"Really just got out. But do not worry, as far as I know I am not dangerous... I do not think." He laughed.
There was a knock at the door, and Ororo excused herself and went to open it.
"Kitty! I'm so glad you're back, you have a visitor!" Ororo said.
"I do? Who?" Kitty asked as Ororo walked her into the kitchen.
Cat stood up and smiled at the girl. "Hi Kitty!" His eyes were now a mixture of blue and silver, with a large amount of brown.
"C-c-c-c-c-ca-ca-" Kitty stuttered in shock.
"Yes. Cat it is." Ten said, not laughing now.
Kitty ran over and gave him a big hug. "Oh my god! What are you- how did you- Wha- ho-" Kitty took a deep breath and tried again. "Did your parents decide to have mercy on you?" She laughed at his grimace.
"Nah, I told you, they hate me."
"Then... Did someone manage to shut the place down for good?"
"Wrong again." He was enjoying this WAY to much.
"Oooh... I hate you. Why do you enjoy teasing me so much?" She complained.
"Do not give me that look!" He said. His eyes turned gray.
Kitty yelped. "You WHAT?!"
"I just TOLD you." He laughed.
"But... HOW??"
"The guards were stupid." He shrugged.
"Will someone PLEASE tell me what's going on?!" Ororo asked.
"My idiot boyfriend ran away from the 'nut-house,' that is what is going on! You are SO going to be in BIG trouble when they find you!"
""KITTY!!!" Cat/Ten yelled.
"What? Ohhhh... It's- It IS okay. They're- They are used to weird things. We ARE X-men after all!" Kitty smiled at him.
Cat/Ten glared at her, his eyes brown now. "But are they used to escaped lunatics?" He asked tersely, he teeth clenched.
"No, but we get used to thing easily. Do you have a place to stay yet, Mr..." The professor asked, coming into the room.
"Ki`ttyn Catono. My friends call me Ten and my girlfriend calls me cat. And no, I do not have a place to stay yet." Cat stated.
"Then would you stay here?" The professor asked.
"I... do not know..." Cat looked over at Kitty as if for guidance.
"Please stay here... Remember what Simalene said..." Kitty begged. *The first time separated for maybe forever, my choice, will not be for forever... But the second time will be."
"Well... Maybe..." *But Kitty-cat, if I stay I would have to be in this building with all these people...*
"PLEASE stay?" Kitty begged.
The professor looked between the two. *How are you two speaking telepathically?* He asked.
*Ummmm... Shoot! You can hear that?* Kitty asked Professor X.
*Yes... Barely, but yes.* Pause. "So will you be staying, Mr. Catono?"
"I... suppose... But I thought...?"
*Yes, you are a mutant. Nothing very obvious, but you at least have your eyes and your telepathy, for an excuse.* "So will you?" Professor X asked.
"I guess..." Cat muttered.
"YAY!!" Kitty yelled happily.

Well, what do people think? So... I like how I have Cat's personality so far, does anyone else?
There's going to be a break in stuff, before the whole plot thing continues, and I'm gonna have humor in there... Does anyone have any ideas? I don't mind suggestions!
Oh, and the voting is going like this:
Have Amanda in story, and kill her (gruesomely, I forgot to mention gruesomely): 2
Not have Amanda in story at all: 0
