Thanks for the support. Sue Slayer, thank you but some people like this type of story and I will take any criticism like on spelling and the way this story should go, but I want to continue. Shadow is my character and I will continue to write about her. I do accept criticism but NOT from people who tell me to stop. Thank You Red Jeanie, you didn't flame me at all. So for you and anyone else who likes this story...here we go!

They were all sitting outside on the grass of the Xavier institute. Having all sorts of food out on a blanked, the adults were watching the younger mutants show their full powers off to Shadow.

"So, tell me Rouge. What are your powers?" Rouge sat up on and propped herself up with her elbows. She watched Shadow with a curious gaze.

"I can borrow other mutants powers along with their memories." Shadow's light eyes widened making them seem whiter. "What exactly can you do Shadow? Do you just form animals 'cause you like them, or what?" Shadow chuckled to herself and glanced at Xavier. He nodded for her to tell them.

"All right. I have to form animals, but I can make them from any material."

"What about that sheet of metal you used yesterday?" Logan asked crossing his arms.

"I was forming something." She said slyly.

"What?" Kurt asked teleporting over to her.

"See that can?" Everyone turned to look at the can behind them. "I can only make an animal from the amount of material there. Take the bird; I had a lot of soil for that. Where as this," She pointed to the can which began to bend and quiver. "I can only make into a small version of an animal." The can shook again and then melted into a shape. It ran across the cloth and up onto Shadows lap.

"Is that a bull?" Evan laughed.

"Yeah. For each material I have a limited number of creatures I can make. Earth I can make birds. Fire I can make large cats and small cats. Ice I can only make a horse or pony. Water I can make water creatures. Electricity I can make wolves and dogs and air I can make a cheetah and shadow my black panther."

"Cool!" Kurt said.

"Her electric wolf has quite a bit to it!" Everyone spun round to find a young man sitting in the tree above them.

"Aaron!" Shadow growled leaping to her feet. Vines sprung out of the ground and wrapped around Shadow's arms and legs.

"Calm Shadow, Dad, Willow and I just wanted to talk." More vines spread from the ground causing everyone to back away. It twined upwards and moved down slightly to revel a woman. The vines cut off from the bottom and then settled themselves around her body to make a green cat suit like Shadows.

"Can't you two leave me alone for a minute?" Shadow cried as she struggled against the vines.

"No Shadow, we gave you a choice we've come for the answer. Yes or no!" Willow trilled.

"NO!" Shadow coldly answered.

"Fine Shadow, but you're still coming with me." Aaron said.

"No she's not. X-men go!" Scott yelled launching forward and firing at the Willow. Kurt teleported up to the tree with Rouge who then touched Aaron. He gasped as he fell backwards out of the tree. Willow leapt to her feet and sent thorn vines at Scott. Jean sent up a shield that was broken instantly. Logan then leapt forward and cut the vines in two.

"Trimming the weeds, an easy task." He began cutting back the plants but got caught out by some more behind him. Evan had just released Shadow and then turned to help Logan. He fired at the bottom of the vines and cut them off. Scott then fired again at Willow who sent a large flower up to block the blast. The flower exploded into pieces as Shadow sent a fire tiger at the plants.

"Duck!" Rouge commanded, and everyone did. She then turned her hands onto Willow and a bright light erupted from her fingertips. It blasted Willow in the chest and caused her to scream. She crumpled to the floor and the vines clamed her once more.

"Damn!" Shadow yelled. Rouge turned back to where Aaron had been only to find the vines swallow him up too.

"Damn!" she echoed Shadow.
