Kitty and Anna are sitting in their favorite café in Hollywood. The two friends chat about their significant others, and how work is going. X-Men Evolution had long since ended, and Kitty is now married with three children, the oldest of whom was named Anna after her best friend. Kitty no longer actes, and now lives the life of a contented housewife. However, just because she is married with children, doesn't mean that she still didn't know how to have fun. She and Anna still had a girl's night out every Friday night.

Anna had since left her job as a Secretary, and had long ago left behind her days as the notorious "Squid". She had, in fact, parlayed her networking skills into an executive position at the very studio that she used to leak information about. Although she never graduated from college, it turns out that Anna had done very well for herself.

The café where they first met at for lunch, which is also where they started their friendship, had since become "Their place". They meet there at least four times a week for lunch, sometimes more if their schedules allowed. Anna had a great job that she loved, Although, she wasn't currently dating anyone, she had lots of friends who cared for her, and at least one best friend who would stay by her side no matter what. For the first time in her life, everything was working out for Anna, and she was truly happy.

The two friends are laughing, and enjoying each other's company when there is a commotion at the Electronics store next door to the café. A large group of people have gathered to peer into the front window of the store to watch the televisions on display. Anna and Kitty look at the growing crowd and begin to wonder what it is that has grabbed all those people's attention.

Kitty looks over at the bar, and notices that people are not only watching the T.V. intently, but occasionally look over at their table. Some of them can be seen whispering in their little groups, and pointing at Anna.

"I wonder what is going on." Anna remarks plainly.

Kitty grabs Anna by the arm. "Come on!"

"A-hey!" Anna shouts as she is unceremoniously pulled along.

Kitty and Anna make their way to the bar so that they can see what is on the television.

"And it seems that scandal just seems to follow Jean Grey around." Says the Entertainment Tonight reporter. "It appears that another sex tape featuring the buxom red head in action has surfaced. This time in bed with Tim Drake," A blown up picture of Drake from the tape appears on the screen. "aka Robin from Teen Titan fame, and another woman who has yet to be identified."

To Anna's horror, a blown up picture of her from the tape appears next to Drake's on the screen. Anna drops her cell phone and covers her mouth with her hands while Kitty stands next to her in shock.

"Although it has yet to be confirmed," the entertainment tonight reporter continues, "it is rumored that the other woman on the tape is secretary who works in the offices of Kids WB."

Anna's vision begins to go fuzzy. She reaches out to Kitty, but can't seem to reach her. For some reason, the more Anna reaches for her, the farther away she gets. The edge of her vision goes from fuzzy to dark, to black. All that Anna can see is Kitty reaching out towards her as she can feel herself falling backwards into a dark abyss.

"Anna? Anna wake up! Come one Anna, Please wake up!"

Anna feels the light slapping of her face. Her head is pounding as she wakes up on the floor of a bar. The floor is sticky, and smells of alcohol from countless nights of spilled drinks by drunken patrons. She slowly opens her eyes to find Kitty kneeling over her. "Anna are you alright?"

"What happened?" Anna asks as she grogily sits up. "What are we doing in this bar, what happened to the café?"

"Café, what café?" Kitty says quizzically, "We're in a bar in Hollywood, and you fainted."

"Huh?"

James returns to the office from his lunch break. He hadn't heard anything from Anna or Ororo since they left. He assumes that everything is going well since he hasn't gotten a call from, what would be his estranged wife demanding a divorce. The thought of how much she would take from him in alimony alone was enough to scare him straight for the rest of his life. Hooking up with Ororo the first time was a mistake. Doing it again was just plain stupid.

Anna hears a voice calling out her name from her cell phone laying on the floor next to her. She picks it up, and places it to her ear. "H-hello?"

"Anna!" Anna's head winces to the side as Jean yells into the phone. "What happened? Are you watching the television!"

"Jean?" Anna looks up at the bar television. "OH HELL! You mean it wasn't a dream?"

"What are you talking about? Whatever, what did you do with the tape!"

"It's at my apartment; I threw it in….." Anna comes to a terrifying realization.

"OH SHIT!" Jumps up from the floor, and heads towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Kitty demands.

"To my apartment, I have to check on something!"

"Hold on, I'll come with you!"

"No! You have to take care of Ororo." Anna points at Ororo's drunken, unconscious body, then turns and runs out the door.

"Ororo?" Kitty shouts to Anna as she runs out the door. "But I don't know where she lives!"

Anna is running back to the studio to get her car. She gets into her car, and takes off out of the lot. Anna pulls out her cell phone, and dials the phone number to one of the many gossip magazines that she is affiliated with. "What the hell happened!"

"Squid?" Questions the Editor over the phone. "Everyone has been trying to call you all day!"

"Well, I'm sorry if I took a day off for myself!" Anna yells into her phone. "How the hell did this get out!"

"Look, someone got the tape, and leaked it to a local porn website. Then E.T. picked up the story from there."

"And none of you could do anything about it! You couldn't have the story buried? Hell, I have shit on half the reporters working on that show!"

"Which is why you're identity is still unknown."

"This story stops right now! The story now is that it's a fake, got it!"

"I'll get together with the other editors, and we'll do what we can. I don't know if we can bury this story. There are clear shots of you, Drake, and Jean on that tape."

"I don't want Fucking excuses, JUST DO IT!"

Moments later, Anna arrives at her apartment. She quickly tears through her living room, throwing Dirty and clean clothes alike into the air. She finds a trash can, and dumps its contents onto the floor. She starts rummaging through the miscellaneous pieces of paper, empty cans of various kinds of energy drinks, snack food wrappers, empty bags of assorted chips, but no tape.

"It has to be here, I didn't take out the trash or anything. I know that I threw the tape in the trash when I got home……" Anna comes to a startling realization. "Dick!"

"You rang." Says Dick as he steps out of the bedroom.

Anna jumps at the sound of his voice. "What….. How did you get in here? I changed the locks this morning!

"Let's just say that I picked up a few tricks researching for my role as Batman's whipping boy."

"Where's the tape!"

"Oh it's safe, but does it really matter? It's already made it onto the internet. Once it's on the internet, it's like pee in a swimming pool. It's impossible to get out. Dick says with a devilish grin.

"How did you do this? I have enough pull in this town that no one would even allow that tape in the building."

"I am fully aware of your various connections…. What do they call you? Oh yes, Squid. You're not the only one with connections, Anna."

"Why Dick? Why are you doing this?"

"What do you mean why? This is all for you. I'm doing this to get you back."

"No Dick, it's over!"

"Anna please, I know, I was an ass for leaving you. I've regretted it since the day I left town. But, now I'm back, and I want things to be the way they were." Dick calmly walks up to Anna, and hugs her.

Annac pushes him away. "Dick, How could you do this? You're ruining my life!" Anna shouts as she runs out the door.

"Anna, I love you!" Dick says as he chases after her.

"Dick stay away from me! Please, leave me alone!"

Anna runs down the stairs in her apartment building. She turns the corner at the bottom of the stairs to be met by Dick waiting for her.

"Anna why are you running? We belong together."

"N-No!"

Anna runs down the hall and locks herself in an equipment closet. She stands with her back against the door. Suddenly, she feels Dick knocking on the door. Trapped, she breaks down and cries hysterically. She reaches into her purse, and pulls out her cell phone. She tries to dial 911, but her eyes strain from her own salty tears. She continues to feel Dick knocking on the door behind her. She frantically punches random keys on the phone until she hears the phone start ringing. Anna prays that someone answers the line. Anna's hopes are answered when Jean picks up the line.

"Anna….. Where are you?"

"Jean? Jean! Help me, Dick has gone nuts, and he has me trapped in a closet in my apartment building."

"A-Anna, calm down….."

Anna cries out as Dick pounds on the closet door.

"Anna?" Dick says calmly, as if nothing is wrong. "Anna please, come out and we'll work this out."

"Jean please….. Please help me!" Anna pleads into her phone.

Anna whimpers as Dick pounds on the door, then suddenly, the pounding stops. Anna get a sudden feeling of dread as the silence from the hallway penetrates the closet.

"Anna, and you alright?" Jean asks, sounding more and more concerned.

"I think he's gone Jean, its quiet outside." Anna slowly stands up and places her ear to the door.

Suddenly, Dick drops into the closet through an air vent in the ceiling. He grabs hold of Anna causing her to drop her cell phone. Anna struggle as hard as she can, then Dick hits her over the back of the head causing Anna to black out.

Oh come on, don't look at me like that. Cliffhangers are what make stories fun. Otherwise, why else would you read the next chapter?

So, I will post a brand spanking new chapter sometime this week, with more to follow. Well, I hope that you liked this chapter, and please don't forget to review.
