"Bully", Kitty grumbled dragging herself out of the water.

"I'm a natural", Rogue grinned holding her hand out to help Kitty.

"Yeah naturally dead", a voice said.

Back to the story

"Who the hell are you?", Rogue demanded, glaring at the mutants who stood on the opposite side of the pond. One pulled a cigarette out of his mouth and flicked it into the lake.

"Name's Kiddox, and you're Rogue right?", he asked, starting to walk round the pond to where the girls were stood. Rogue gently guided Kitty to standing behind her.

"Who wants to know?", she asked, turning to face Kiddox as he stopped a few metres in front of them.

"You've been a bad little girl Roguey, someone wants you gone. Pity really....you're such a nice girl as well", Kiddox smirked, stepping in to invade Rogue's personal space.

"Back off punk", Rogue snarled, moving back slightly to put distance between herself and the other mutant. She spun round only to find one of the other mutants had grabbed hold off Kitty. The other three were still stood over the other side of the pond.

"Let her go", Rogue ordered, keeping half an eye on Kiddox. The other male mutant began to stretch and wrap himself around Kitty.

"Who's gonna stop me? You? I very much doubt it", the mutant sniggered, "No-one can escape the grasp of Muoy, no matter how they try". Rogue took a step towards him, praying to whoever was up there that he wouldn't hurt Kitty just yet. She had no intentions of draining his powers, something about him freaked her out and she wasn't going to take the risk of damaging herself or Kitty.

"If...you don't let her go, you'll regret it, understand that....mate?", Rogue commented, watching Kitty stare at her in panic and disbelief. Muoy glanced over at Kiddox and gave Rogue the opening she needed to give what she presumed was his stomach, not quite but something lower down his anatomy which made him retract and double up in agony. Stepping over Muoy she pulled Kitty back and began to walk away from the approaching group of mutants.

"Don't get into something you can't win, next time it'll be worse", Rogue threatened, hoping she sounded a good deal more threatening then she felt.

"We'll meet again....you can be sure of that, just make sure you know who'll win....because my dear it won't be you, or that puny little excuse for a mutant behind you...got it?", Kiddox replied, anger and danger glinting in his dark blue stormy eyes. Rogue took the moment to grab Kitty's hand and start running.

"Look at them go....they don't stand a chance", one of the two female mutants sneered, "Why are we playing around with them let's kill them and get our pay". Kiddox stood up and let Luhio, Muoy's girlfriend, move in and check over her lover.

"You underestimate them Caz, they are both capable of incredible things, but you're right, they do not stand much of a chance", Kiddox commented.

"Then why waste time on them", Muoy gasped struggling to sit up, Luhio wrapped her arms around his slim waist and hugged him tightly.

"You know me Muoy, I like to toy with my prey before ruining their lives entirely", Kiddox commented, "Why not have some fun before destroying them?"

"Because you're gonne get one of us killed that's why", Muoy complained, "You know how fragile I am in my elastic form". Luhio gently kissed his cheek.

"You really should be more careful Kiddox, remember Nevada?", she commented softly. Kiddox tensed up and spun around, his eyes met the pleading, gentle eyes of Luhio and he smiled slightly.

"I'll be more careful", he promised, "And what about you Arki? What do you think about all this?" The final mutant, a tall man clothed in dark red robes towered above the group, he looked down to answer Kiddox.

"I think there is trouble ahead", he replied slowly and thoughtfully before dropping back into silence again.

*********************************

"Oh....god.....he....he...was he....were they gonna kill us?", Kitty asked, cringing internally at how stupid the sentence sounded.

"Not this time, they were just playing games but they're gonna come back for us", Rogue replied. Kitty slumped down onto the park bench and leant her head in her hands.

"Thanks Rogue, I thought he was gonna...crush me", Kitty commented shakily as she tried to control her breathing. Rogue sat down next to her and carefully put one arm around Kitty's shoulders.

"Come on Kit', it's okay, look they.......they can't surprise us if we stay together can they?", Rogue replied. Kitty nodded numbly and raised her head.

"Who set them on us?", she asked fearfully, dreading the answer but knowing what it was going to be. Rogue's eyes flashed angrily before returning to normal.

"Xavier and you know it", she replied. Kitty sighed and leant into Rogue's arms to hug her. She pulled back slightly.

"What are we gonna do?", she asked, "We can't really go back to the institute?". Rogue glanced at the fear flashing in Kitty's eyes before standing up and offering her hand to Kitty.

"We'll survive, we'll be fine", she replied, despite the doubt which glowed deep in her heart, she shook away her fear, she had to be strong....she just had to be.
