Rogue walked up and down the halls the next morning looking for Kitty. No one had seen her yet and it was important that she joined Jean's meeting.
'Jean,' Rogue said in her mind. 'Where is Kitty?'
'Have you checked Kurt's room yet?' Jean asked.
'No, Ah don't wanna go in there,' Rogue replied. 'It's too painful.'
'Well, Kitty is in there,' Jean said.
'Oh,' was all Rogue could say. 'Ah'll go get her.'
She frowned and walked towards Kurt's room.
'Poor Kitty,' she thought. 'She must have slept in his room.'
"Kitty," she said tapping on the door. "Kitty, ya gotta get up. Jean's holding an important meeting."
"Okay," she heard Kitty with a sigh. Then she heard footsteps and the door opened.
Rogue felt an ache in her heart when she saw Kitty's bloodshot eyes and pale face. She looked like she had been up most of the night crying.
"I'll be down in a minute," Kitty said. "No need to baby-sit me."
"Okay," Rogue said. "Call us if ya need us."
"I will," Kitty said walking to her room.
Rogue sighed and walked the opposite way.

A few minutes later Kitty came downstairs and everyone was shocked when they saw her. She wore no makeup, her hair was down, and she wore the same dirty outfit she wore the day before. The old Kitty never did that.
"Kitty, are you okay?" Jean asked.
"I'm fine," Kitty replied with a sigh.
Jean knew she was lying, but she knew what she had to say was more important.
"I know exactly where Mystique is," she began. "She's been hiding in an old building twenty miles from here. She has Xavier and Danielle. Plus she has that mutant she kidnapped that killed all the humans. Not everyone is coming with us on this mission. I want two adults and all the younger students to stay here."
"I will stay," Beast said.
"Scott, I think you should stay," Jean said.
"Me too," he agreed.
"Kitty, maybe you should stay," she suggested.
"No!" Kitty said. "I'm going!"
Jean sighed and nodded.
"So the team is, Kitty, Rogue, Remy, Pyro, Colossus, Tabitha, Wanda, Logan, Storm, and myself," Jean said. "Any objections?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Okay, we leave in an hour," she said.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Kitty was in her room getting suited up. She had finally snapped out of her depression, and became determined to get her hands on Mystique.
In Rogue and Remy's room,
"Chere, are y' sure it be a good idea for y' t' come since y' be pregnant?" Remy asked.
"Remy, Mystique has got to be stopped," Rogue said slipping on her boots. "Besides, Ah'll be careful. Ah ain't stupid."
"I know you're not," he said. "I be jus' lookin' out for y'."
"Ah know," she replied with a smile. "That's one of the reasons whah Ah love ya."
Jean and Scott's room,
"I'm scared Kitty is going to do something.......extreme," Jean sighed. "I tried to probe her mind, but her anger is so severe, it's actually blocking me."
"That's bad," Scott said. "Isn't it?"
"Yes," Jean said. "I have to keep a close eye on her......."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In the X-Van,
Kitty sat quietly in a seat behind everyone thinking very hard about her secret plan. No one knew, but Kitty had hidden a dagger in her pocket. She would use it to kill Mystique.
"I'm surprised Jean hasn't figured out my plans," Kitty thought. "She's the Phoenix. Her telepathy has greatly enhanced and she can't figure out what I have planned?"
Rogue looked over at her and frowned.
"Ah don't think it was a good ahdea lettin' her come," she whispered the Jean.
"She would have come no matter what anyone did or said," Jean pointed out.
Rogue nodded and sighed. She knew Jean was right.
Thirty minutes later,
Jean stopped the van two miles from Mystique's hideout.
"Here's the plan," she began. "I need Tabitha and Piotr to look for Danielle. She is in a room on the second floor of the building. Rogue and Remy are to find the professor in the basement. Kitty, Wanda, and Pyro, you're coming with me to find the captured mutant and Logan and Storm will look for Mystique."
"No," Wanda said. "I want to find my dear brother Pietro."
"Okay," Jean nodded.
Inside the hideout,
"Mystique!" Lance yelled into an intercom. "The X-Men are here!"
"Stop them from finding their friends and Forge!" Mystique yelled back.
Tabitha and Piotr took off up some stairs to the second level while Rogue and Remy went to the basement.
"Forge is on the top floor," Jean said to Kitty. "Let's go."
Kitty shook her head and took off to the left phasing through the wall.
"Kitty!" Jean yelled. "Kitty, no!"
Kitty phased through several walls until she knew she was far enough from Jean.
"Sorry, Jean," Kitty whispered pulling out the dagger. "But I have to avenge Kurt."
On the second floor,
"She must be in one of these rooms," Tabitha said looking to the left and right.
"We'll have to check everyone until we find her," Piotr said.
Tabitha opened the door and then quickly shut it when she heard a high pitched, girly scream.
"Toad?" Piotr asked.
"Yep," Tabitha answered and stood to the side.
Toad came hopping, literally, out of his room.
"What's the deal, yo?" he asked looking at Tabitha and then Piotr.
"We're here to kick your butts and reclaim what's ours," she said simply.
"Oh," Toad replied. "Ain't goin' down without a fight, yo!"
Boom Boom smirked and formed some explosives in her hand. "Wanna fight?" she asked. "Okay. Sounds fun." She flicked her hand and threw the explosives at Toad.
Toad screamed again and jumped out of the way. He hung onto the wall and spat slime in her direction, but Piotr jumped in front of her and the slime just simply slid off his metal chest.
"Aww are you two in love now?" Toad taunted.
Piotr punched the wall causing it to shake, which made Toad fall off.
"Uh-oh, I'm outta here," Toad said hopping off.
"Ahh whatever," Tabitha said. "Let's keep looking for Danielle."
Just then a door opened and none other than Danielle Moonstar walked out.
"There you are!" Tabitha exclaimed.
Danielle said nothing and just stared at them.
"Something's not right," Colossus pointed out.
Then Tabitha felt a hand on her shoulder. She whirled around and saw her father standing there glaring at her.
"I finally found you, Tabby," he said. "You're coming home with me so that you can solve all of my money problems."
She gasped and backed away. "How did you know I was here?"
Piotr glared at Danielle when he saw that she was obviously making Tabitha believe her so-called father was there talking to her. "That's enough!" he growled.
Danielle looked at him and made him experience his nightmare.
Magneto and Mystique were standing there in front of him smiling with satisfaction.
"Your mother is dead," Magneto said. "I decided to stop paying her medical bills because you betrayed me."
"No!" Piotr gasped.
Tabitha glared at her "father" and formed several explosives in her hands. "Don't make me do this," she said with a quiet, shaky voice.
"You don't have the guts," he replied with a smirk.
"Oh yes I do!" she said throwing them at him. Next thing she knew he was gone. He was never really there. It was all in her head.
She turned around and saw Piotr on his knees sobbing and Danielle on her knees looking confused.
"Piotr," Tabitha whispered putting her hands on his shoulders. "It wasn't real. It was an illusion."
Piotr looked around him and sighed. "It was horrible......"
"I know," he replied. "But it looks like Danielle is back to normal."
"What happened?" Danielle asked. "Where am I?"
"In Mystic's place," Tabitha said purposely mispronouncing Mystique's name. "Come on, Danielle, let's go find the others."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Logan and Ororo wandered down the halls of Mystique's lair trying their best to find her. All they had found so far were empty supply rooms.
Logan suddenly stopped and started sniffing the air.
"What is it?" Storm asked.
Logan growled, "Sabretooth."
(A/N: Don't you just love the famous Wolverine/Sabretooth line?)
Ororo sighed and rolled her eyes. "We have a job to do and that's to find Mystique," she said.
He ignored her and took off in the direction Sabretooth was in.
"Wolverine!" Storm called.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Kitty ran through one room after another with the dagger in her hand. She was fuming with a powerful anger. Her anger was so strong, it was likely she would kill anyone who stood in her way of finding Mystique. Kurt would not have wanted this, but Kitty did. Her anger had completely taken over her, keeping her blinded to all that was right and wrong.
"Kitty!"
Kitty stopped and turned around only to see her ex-boyfriend, Lance Alvers.
"Don't try to stop me, Lance," Kitty said in a deadly whisper.
"Kitty, what's wrong with you?" he asked puzzled. "You look insane!"
"You happened!" she yelled. "Mystique happened! You all killed him!"
"All this is about blue-boy?" he raised and eyebrow and crosses his arms.
"You will all pay for this," she said through gritted teeth. She then raised her dagger and ran towards him.
"Whoa!" he gasped, quickly making the ground shake to knock her off balance.
She outsmarted him by phasing through the ground.
"K-Kitty?" he whispered nervously. A girl that had gone crazy with the powers to phase through solid mass and has a dagger was a very scary thought.
"Ugh!" he grunted when he felt something sharp plunge into his back. "Kitty........you know.......you know that that freak would have not wanted this.........."
"But this is what I want," she snarled pulling the dagger out of him. He grunted again and fell to the floor dead.

Author's Note: This chapter was gonna be a lot longer, but since I have not updated in a very long time due to the crappy schedule my boss has me on, I have no time for anything! Everyday it's get up, eat, got to work, go to bed, and repeat. I just went full-time so I'm working a lot more hours during weird times of the day.
