A/N- I'm so sad. I have ideas for a sequel and I don't think that I am much over half done with this story. I may be wrong. There may be like 6 more chapters and that may be it, but I doubt it. It's a sad, sad mind that I have. '—' means that it is telepathically or their thoughts. I'm just saying that b/c there is a lot of that in this chapter. It's telepath heavy!

Ch22: The plan to defeat Sarah

'There is someone that I would like you to find. She was a teammate of mine when I was an Acolyte, but she was taken by Mystique. Magneto never found a trace of her, but you're different, you're a telepath. Do you think that you could try to find her for me. It's been nearly eight months since I have seen her. I would just like to know if she was ok. She is very dear to me. I must know.'

'I will try since she means so much to you. But there are some things I must know.'

'Her power... it's hard for me to explain since I never really saw her use it. He couldn't touch. She absorbed people's memories through skin to skin contact. She could also take their powers. She went by Rogue. None of us know her real name. I understand if that is not enough.'

'I will try in the morning. You need your sleep.'

"Thank you, Professor." Storm, Xavier and Logan leave the room.

"What did she want?" Storm asks concerned.

"A friend of hers was kidnapped by Mystique 8 months ago. She said that Eric tried to find her but it didn't work out. She said that since I am a telepath that I may be able to help her. I will try, I certainly will try. Though I'm not sure how possible it is. I don't even know who she could turn to if I am unable to find her."

"I'm sure that you'll find her Charles, in the meantime we really must think of a way to free her of whatever it is that Sarah has done to her." Storm says.

"Yes, I suppose that you are right, that must come first." Xavier agrees.

"But maybe finding her friend will help her." Logan says.

"Whose was her call to earlier Charles? I saw Kate bring her down that cell phone that she always has with her."

"Her former teammates."

"You don't think-"

"No. I believe that she doesn't want to be with them anymore, but she was there for nearly a year, she would have friends there." (A/N- they are so blind! Can you imagine what would happen if Kitty were to die? I seriously wouldn't do that though... or would I?)

-Brotherhood, Next Day-

"Sarah?" Lance asks "But I just saw you-"

"I'm not Sarah. I'm her twin Melinda. You must be Lance."

"Why are you here?" Pietro asks her running over to the door.

"To talk to my sister." Melinda says smiling. "Some of her actions have truly upset me."

"Come on in." Pietro says pushing Lance aside and smirking. "I'm sure that she'll be glad to see you. Lance go get her." Lance gets up after causing a few tremors. "So you heard?"

"Yeah, Remy isn't happy. The only reason he didn't bust the door down is because Kitty called him and threatened him. I'm not sure with what."

"I'm personally glad it's you and not him. He'd blow her cover."

"That's what I told him. Plus Sarah would be dead."

"I could live with that."

"Sarah!" Melinda says happily. "We really need to talk."

"About?"

"What you did to Kitty Pryde."

"What are you fucking talking about?"

"I heard what you did to her. Let's just say that Remy is unhappy and I'm here to settle it. Well, actually they are all unhappy. Would you like all of the Acolytes in here? I don't think that you would."

"What are you talking about?" Sarah says raising an eyebrow at her sister.

"You know what I mean. You put a bracelet on her that causes her to not be able to use her powers. What do you want us to do for you. We'll do anything, just tell us how to get it off."

"I wouldn't know. You would have to go to Mystique. She gave it to me and said that if I put it on Kitty she wouldn't be able to use her powers and that it would weaken her. She never told me how to take it off."

"You can't play innocent with me. I know every trick of yours because I'm the smarter, older twin, and I thought you every trick anyway. You know what it does and you know how to take it off."

"Maybe. But the only way I'm talking is if I see Remy walk through that door, and you have to do something else for me too."

"What?" Sarah asks as Remy walks in.

"Remy heard his name."

"Oh Remy!" Sarah says running up to him and throwing her arms around him. "I've missed you. I've taken care of Kitty, she won't get in our way anymore."

"Remy not sure he understand."

"Oh Remy! Same as ever."

"Sorry to break up this little love fest here." Melinda says. "But I need to know how to get it off of her and what else you want."

"I want to be an Acolyte."

"What?"

"I want to be an Acolyte again. I want to be near Remy always." Sarah says beaming up at Remy. "Sarah that may not be possible. I'm going to go and talk to the guys about it." Melinda leaves. "Damn! How could she want that." Sarah pulls out a cell phone and dials a number. "Yeah Remy, she wants to be an Acolyte."

-Acolytes-

"No!" Remy says harshly into the phone.

"Well then how do we help Kitty?"

"Remy's not sure. Do what ya can."

"Are you hinting I go over and see her."

"Maybe."

"Uh.. alright, I'll go. I just want you to know that you owe me." Melinda says hanging up. "This is going to kill me. They are going to see me and think that I'm Sarah. Oh well."

-Xavier's-

"What are you doing here?" Jean asks when she sees Melinda approaching.

"I'm Sarah's sister, Melinda. I've just come to see how Kitty is, and to apologize for her."

'Let her in and show her to Kitty. She will keep Magneto's team from coming. She is one of them.' The professor tells Jean.

'But Professor!'

'Trust me Jean. It's for the best. I can tell that she is genuinely worried about her.'

"Follow me. I'll take you to Kitty." A few minutes later Jean stops. "We're here."

"Thank you." Melinda walks in and sits down beside Kitty. "Hey Kit."

"Melinda? So they did listen to me!"

"Yeah, I think that you scared Remy. I didn't think that he would listen at all, we could all tell that he didn't want to. Pyro was ready to go at Sarah too. She's so stupid. I had to beg them not to and then you called."

"Yeah, I really don't want any of them to get stupid because the second that I get out of this bed I'm getting my revenge. I can tell you that one for sure. I'm just glad that none of you are mad that I switched teams. I didn't even tall you all, I just left."

"We understand. Magneto doesn't, but we do don't worry. You aren't the kind of girl that can live with the stuff he makes us do on your conscious. I can see Piotr joining the X-Men too, it's not just you. I won't interfere with your plans of revenge, but I must tell you, don't freak out when you see Remy with her, I manifested it, it's not really him, he would never agree. He's not out to really piss you off."

"Not like me mad or not will effect him anymore. He won't even look at me. I betrayed him. I switched teams. Melinda, I had to get out. (A/N- noticing a trend here? This is one elaborate cover up story for her spywork!) I had to get away, I couldn't take it. I'm not that kind of girl. I'm not the kind that can live with that."

"I know. I knew that a long time before you did. But all of the guys still see you as a great friend. And Kit, I don't think that Remy cares what team you're on, as long as you're with him. He still cares for you Kit and you're a complete fool if you don't see it."

"That isn't a good thing to tell me. Now I'm just going to miss him. He was the only person I talked to when I lived there for the first few weeks. Pyro was just Pyro and that scared me. Sabertooth is just unapproachable. Rogue and all of her goth makeup. I had never met anyone who wore that before. Pietro, that boy was just.. you have to be mean to the hot ones.(A/N- Not that I think this at all!) And Piotr I had already met, he just doesn't like to talk or something. So Remy was the only one I talked for the first few weeks, and then I spent a night in the poker room, which is actually the kitchen."

"I'd have never guessed." Melinda laughs.

"Yeah, except for the fact that the fridge is filled with beer and take out food. The stove is only used by Pyro when he really needs some fire and his lighters either won't light or they are all empty. I've seen it happen twice." Melinda laughed slightly.

"That's what happens when you can't make the fire, when you can only control it."

"Yeah, I have to have the worst power ever. Can I give you my power and then you can get this thing off of me?" Kitty asks seriously. "Kate... she might jut be able to. "Katherine Bellomy!" Kitty screams at the top of her voice. "If you don't-"

"What Kit? Don't strain yourself yelling at me. We try to have manners here."

"Sorry Kate."

"You act like you were raised in a barn. What do you need."

-Acolytes-

"She wants to bloody join us? No!"

"That is what Remy is sayin too. Non!"

"I don't want her back here. I already paid enough to fix the wall. I don't need to do it again."

"Then what do we bloody do about Kitty?"

"Remy's not sure. Remy knows that mon chere knows we're gonna do somethin though."

"I say that we bloody kill Sarah."

"Or we could just pay them a visit."

"Remy likes dat idea. Ya ready for a fight?" Remy asks and they nod. "Let's go." All three of them walk out the front door looking ready for a fight.

-Brotherhood-

"Oh Remy, I knew that you'd change your mind."

"Of course Remy did mon chere.(A/N- the fake Remy took the real Remy's name for Kitty! Grr! Lol.) De fille wasn't woman enough ta please Remy."

"I'moutofhere. Idon'tneedtoseethis,Ijustknkowthatitisn'tgoodformyhealth." Pietro says running outside and sitting on the steps. "Wonder how long it is until they all show up here? And there they are. Riding like the devil himself is chasing them. Pryde's not going to be happy with you all at all." Pietro says as they approach the door.

"As long as she's still alive she can be bloody mad at us."

"Get Sarah out here." Remy demands.

"Oh Sarah!" Pietro says running in. "Someone is here to see you." Sarah walks back out with Pietro.

"Hell no! Melinda fucking manifested that! What do you guys want."

-Xavier's-

"Kit, the professor says that the Acolytes are at the Brotherhood Boarding House looking for a fight." Jean says walking in.

"Get me there. No one can stop them but me."

"But you aren't-"

"Get me there." Kitty demands and Kurt bamps in. "Kurt bamp me to the Brotherhood boarding house. I have ex-teammates to deal with."

"I'll meet you there Kit." Melinda says leaving right then. Kurt bamps her there.

-Boarding House-

"Remy LeBeau," Kitty seethes when Kurt bamps her there. "what are you doing here?"

"Kit- mon chere! They said that ya were-"

"I'm supposed to be in bed. Remy! I can't have you hurting them. Sarah is just a bitch plain and simple but I thought that you were above all of this!" Kitty says walking over to him. "I thought that you would listen to me, even though I guess that me getting mad wouldn't do me any good. I guess that it doesn't effect you at all." Kitty says looking away from him.

"Mon chere! Don't say dat. Remy cares if ya get mad. Remy would just rather see ya mad and alive than happy an dead."

"Remy! It won't go that far! No one will let it! Someone will stop her before it gets that far! I live with two telepaths for crying out loud! If it gets that far they can use their powers! Remy, I'd guess that in probably under 5 minutes the whole team of X-Men will be here. You don't want to mess with them, because I can't stop them. If you attack them everyone will know, and that is what we are trying so hard to keep from getting out. Remy, please, I know that you are the reason the three of you are here. Pyro and Piotr wouldn't be here without you leading them."

"You're giving us too much bloody credit. We don't want to see you hurt, just like Remy."

"Then think this through, boys." Sarah says as the X-Men show up. "Everyone, not one more step. I'll kill her." Sarah says pulling out a little remote like thing out of her pocket. "One push of a button and I'll kill her. No one will ever see little kiddy Kitty again." Sarah laughs and flies up into the air. "I can do anything that I want with her. I can drain her energy, I can make her extremely sick, I can do anything and there is nothing that any of you can do!" Sarah laughs

"Sarah why are you doing this?" Kitty asks.

"You stole both Remy and Pietro from me you fucking whore and you never went out with either of them. You kicked me out of the Acolytes for no reason. You turned all of them against me, even my own twin sister!"

"You burnt down my house! You tried to kill my four cousins my mom and even me! Sarah, I think that we are even, or at least as close as we could get. But now you have taken it too far."

"But you can't do anything to me kiddie Kitty. I hold you life and Rogue's life in my hands."

"How? What are you talking about?"

"I know where Rogue is." She says.

'Jean!'

'I tried Kit, she's got Mental blocks too.'

"What do you want Sarah? Whatever you want just take it out on me! Not anyone else!"

"I want revenge for everything you have taken from me."

"then take your revenge out on me! I'm right here! I've done nothing wrong, but if it truly makes you feel better I won't stop you. Technically I didn't steal either Remy or Pietro from you."

"Yes you did! Do I look like an idiot to you Pryde?" She asks landing on the ground. "You pulled Pietro away from me when I was on a date with him! Then he came back and broke up with me."

"Back up! What do you think that I did to him?"

"I don't know, but you did the same thing to Remy with that stunt that you pulled at Lunch that day."

"Hold on. So you think that our little practical joke was meant to take him from you? Ok, that was just that, a joke. I never gave him my phone number. NEVER! Sarah get over it. I know it was childish, and I'm sorry, there is that what you were looking for? I didn't realize that you even remembered that. Remy was the one jumped and I apologized to him! What else to you want? If you are going to take it out on someone take it out on me alone. Let the X-Men stay out of this, let the Acolytes stay out of it and keep Rogue out of it! Let her go! She didn't do anything to you!" 'Jean, Professor, I'm sorry. I just can't live with myself if I let anyone else get hurt when it is me that she is after. I can't let anyone get hurt on my behalf.'

"Pryde you little prude, I'm going to take you out of the picture permanently. But first I want to know something, what is it that they all see in you? Why do they all go to you and why do you turn them away. I bet you are the only girl here that would turn Remy down."

"I don't think so, I never turned him down, technically."

"Sticking behind technicalities are we?"

"For the moment. But to answer you question Sarah, why they come to me is easy to answer. Sarah beauty is only skin deep. I'll admit it, you're much more beautiful than I am, when I think of myself the phrase plain Jane comes to mind. Sarah you have a beautiful face, gorgeous hair and a body most girls would die for." Sarah smiles broadly at the praise. "But I'll say it again, beauty is only skin deep. You have a rotten personality. You could beat a sailor with you language. You're condescending and hypocritical of everyone. If you can't have it then no one else can either is you rule to live by. You may pass me by a ton in looks, but I have to admit that I have the much better personality, and I'm not even bragging."

"Wouldn't take much to have a better bloody personality than her." Pyro says causing everyone to laugh.

"Pyro!" Kitty says coughing to cover her laughter. "Anyway, Sarah, maybe if you changed a little they would go for you. It's not that hard, I'd help you."

"I don't need help from you, you freak!"

"So we are both mutants, but somewhere along the line I became a freak?" Kitty asks.

"You always were a freak, Pryde, and you'll always be one." Kitty balls her fists. "What's wrong? Little kiddy Kitty getting angry? Gonna do something?" Sarah says in a baby voice. Kitty closes her eyes and takes several deep breaths.

'Jean do me a favor'

'What Kitty?'

'Have Evan, or Scott, though I doubt that Scott will do it, hit her hand with the remote and then you or Kurt get it. Can you do that?'

'Sure. Let me tell them.'

"I'm not stupid Pryde, whatever you and that red headed bimbo are planning isn't going to work."

'I'm not planning anything Sarah. I don't even have powers anymore. The only thing that I am planning is going home. I'm not a mutant anymore, you took care of that. Once I'm gone you can do whatever you and that manifested Remy can ride off into the sunset for all I care."

'Three'

"But I don't want to ride off with the manifested Remy."

'Two.'

'Then what do you want?"

"The real Remy."

"It'll be easier with me gone, won't it?"

'One, Kitty move!' Right then Kitty fell to her knees.

=============

what a cliffhanger! I love doing them! They are great. Why did Kitty fall to her knees? Was it really to avoid whatever was coming or was it something else? What about this whole Rogue situation? I always leave cliffhangers with question, don't I? I bet that you all are seriously getting mad about this, but I am actually enjoying writing this now! It's great! I have huge ideas! If only they will fit. I promise I will work on the Kietro soon! I am just full swing into the Kimy right now! Wow, over 3200 words! That is extremely long for me! Over 7 pages typed! Wow!
