Manipulating Evolution

Chapter 4: Witch Hunt

I don't own any of the X-Men Evolution characters, but I do own the man walking his dog that appears for a second in this chapter…Woot! Woot! Sorry this chapter took longer to get up then the others, I was having a bit of writers block. ProFool and I are going to the mountains in search of Sabertooth for six days, but I'll try to write another chapter before that. Enjoy!

Xavier decided Pietro would be the easiest to mutant to train to use Cerebro because Freddy was a bit…slow; so while the two of them were busy the others set out to find Wanda on their own.

"Come on Chere, Remy has Wolverine powers, Ah can track 'im." Remy said, taking Rogue's hand.

Kitty, Lance, and Todd decided to search together so they followed Remy and Rogue. As they walked outside Kitty accidentally touch Remy with a bit of bare arm skin. Remy jumped at the shock but it didn't wipe him out.

"Whoa, dat was weird." Remy said, rubbing his arm.

Kitty grabbed her head, "Remy's-in-my-head!!!! Gah!!!" She suddenly stopped as her mouth dropped open, "Like, totally icksome!" She yelled at Remy, "Rogue, like, don't go with him! I know what he wants to do to you!"

Everyone stopped and stared at Kitty.

"Uh, come on Kitty, let's go look for Wanda so we can fix all this." Lance said, taking Kitty's arm.

"Don't go with him Rogue!" Kitty yelled as Lance led her away from the Institute and Todd followed.

Remy shook his head as he and Rogue walked off in the other direction.

Remy sniffed the air as he and Rogue walked down the street in downtown Bayville.

"Wow, dis power is crazy! Ah can smell everythin'!" Remy exclaimed.

"Have ya picked up Wanda's trail?" Rogue asked.

"Not yet, Chere, dere's too many other scents." Remy said as they passed a man walking a dog. "Gah, didn' wanna smell dat!"

Rogue shook her head, "Maybe we should look somewhere else."

Tabitha and Amara walked passed and smiled.

"Hey Rogue!" Tabitha waved, "Any luck yet?"

Rogue shook her head.

As Tabitha and Amara walked away Remy was overcome by the amount of perfume they were wearing and he fell over choking.

"Ah….can't…breathe!" He yelled between coughs.

Rogue sighed and dragged the hacking Cajun down the street.

On the other side of town Kitty, Lance, and Todd weren't having any luck either. Todd was having trouble controlling his new power whenever a car drove past and Kitty kept stealing Lance's power.

Kitty knocked a tree over with the Scott vision she'd just stolen from Lance and giggled.

"Kitty, why do you keep doing that?" Lance asked.

"Cause it's, like, totally fun!" She smiled, "I don't know why Rogue is so depressed all the time, this power rocks!"

"Yeah!" Todd exclaimed as he sent a lawnmower chasing after a chipmunk. "I'd like to see those jerks in P.E. call us weak now!"

Kitty smiled, "You said it!"

Lance stared in amazement at Kitty and Todd actually getting along. "Wait," He thought, "Kitty hasn't been stealing Todd's power…maybe she….nah"

"You didn't, like, have any friends before you joined the Brotherhood?" Kitty asked Todd.

"Nope."

"I didn't have any friends before I, like, joined the X-Men." Kitty said, "Wow, I, like, never knew you and I had so much in common."

Lance growled.

"What's wrong Lance?" Kitty asked.

"Nothing, I think I'm gonna go check on how Pietro's doing." Lance answered.

"Um, ok. Will you meet up with us later?" Kitty asked.

"Sure." Lance said as he walked off.

End of chapter 4. Why are Kitty and Todd suddenly getting along? Why is Lance suddenly jealous of Todd? And what does Remy want to do to Rogue? Dun dun dun! Guess you'll all have to wait and see! Coming Soon: Pietro learns to use Cerebro, and a group of our mutants find Magneto hopping around…tee hee hee!
