CHAPTER TWO

KITTY

She was cold.

For some reason, the heating had switched off, and nothing Kitty did would make it any better, so she had ended up going to the kitchen, and a glass of hot chocolate.

Where was everyone?

She knew she was perfectly capable at handling almost any situation, but this was freaky. It just didn't make any sense.

"Okay," she murmured, "they say talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity, but here goes. What are my options? Sit still…Check Cerebro…Or look around." She drained the rest of the chocolate, put the cup down, and walked through the wall.

It only took a few moments to walk outside, and she instantly noticed that a strong wind was picking up. She headed towards the gate, noticing their remaining disfigurement – the only thing out of place.

The wind was stronger now, and light raindrops fell on her face, stinging her eyes like acid.

She pushed forward, keeping as strong a pace as possible and walked out the gate.

Then promptly walked back. She shrieked in surprise, as she was forcibly twisted and sent back towards the mansion, just a few steps from where she started.

She turned around, and tried again, and again, but to no avail.

She was trapped.

THE INSTITUTE

The dramatic statement of Professor Charles Xavier had thrown the X-Men into a temporary state of confusion.

"She can't have disappeared Chuck," Logan said in surprise, "Firstly, the Half-Pint ain't the disappearin' type. Secondly…Chuck, what is going on?"

"I don't know," said the Professor.

Some time had passed

and night was beginning to fall. Logan was standing on the cliff edge, alone, and worried. It was a mystery, no doubt about that, and all the X-Men were worried. Jean and the Professor were working on Cerebro, while search parties were combing Bayville and New York.

hello, wolverine

Logan cried out and spun around, claws outstretched, barely a millimetre from a man standing beside him. He was tall, not handsome, but not ugly either. He had dark brown hair, but it was his eyes that pierced Logan's soul.

"How'd ya do that bub?" Logan snarled. The man smiled.

"I wish to speak with Professor Charles Xavier…I have information regarding a certain Cat…"

Logan eye's widened.

The stranger just continued smiling.

KITTY

She shivered again as Kitty walked around the mansion looking for clues.

The sky was darkening with increasing speed, and somewhere in that darkness, somewhere in the shadows, a pair of eyes were watching her.
