I always noticed nobody finishes fics on what would happen if Kitty joins the Brotherhood. Not in my case. Yes, I definitely plan to do Lance and Kitty's life after they're married but right now, I want to finish this while the idea is still in my head- fresh. Let's see…the ending's going to be a little tough but trust me, I'll, like, work something out. It's going to be a mess there, since now; the Brotherhood would be dealing a lot with the X-Men. Nope, rogue's not going to be with the Brotherhood, just Kitty. And lets take it that everyone else has already been recruited and they failed to recruit Kitty, who was the last one.

God, I hope I can fork out enough time to finish this.

Less than one good hour ago, Kitty had been almost declared dead. In fact, she left her parents, her family, back in Illinois. That red haired lady saved them…but in the end, her parents lost her.

She'd decided to go with him.

Just when the building was about to tumble down on all of them, he grabbed her wrist, yelling, "We're in control now; we make our own way." He pulled her out of the back of the art studio before she could meet death and all. In one-way or another, he'd saved her.

He couldn't watch her die.

Kitty played with her fingers in the green colored jeep. He'd made her go back home to grab all her things and told her quickly to follow him. To? She had no idea.

All she did was sitting in the passenger seat, hoping that she would get to where he lived quickly. She was pretty sick of everything.

Kitty looked up at him. He's pretty nice to her, all except that test-cheating part. When she knew what he wanted to do, she completely flared up.

So this is what's it about?

Cheating?

Hey, this school gives crummy tests to pull us down…

Yeah, that's what she could recall.

She stared at him. He was tall, kinda' good-looking, beautiful hazel eyes. She blushed at what she was thinking. God, she can't like him.

"When are we going to reach anyway? You told me we were going to Bayville."

"It's far. Wouldn't be there until midnight. Hey, I drive a jeep, not a rocket." Lance replied gruffly. Yeah, that was his name…Lance.

Kitty leaned back in the seat. Hardly any cars could be seen passing by. And it was getting pretty dark.

The next thing Kitty knew was that she woke up. There was a diner in front of her. And Lance's vest was on her.

She smiled a little before getting out. Lance was probably in the diner. Or at the loo.

She pushed the doors open. Inside, sad, dismal music played on. There wasn't anybody, except for a few people. One was sleeping, one was snoring, one was…aw, forget it.

She spotted Lance at the counter, paying money to the lady. He had two plates of food in his hand and when he saw Kitty, he told her, "Good, you're up. I thought I'd have to wake you. Here's dinner, by the way."

He got to the nearest table and they both sat down, facing the fish and chips in front of them.

"Sorry I don't have megabucks to treat you to a big meal." Lance said.

Kitty nodded, "No, it's ok. But I'm still pretty freaked out. About all this…this mutant stuff."

"I understand. I'm a mutant too you know," Lance remarked softly.

They ate quietly, hardly saying anything else to each other.

Kitty glanced up at him, and passed him back his vest, "Here, you dropped this."

"Like I did." Lance pulled it back on. He saw that Kitty was shivering a little.

"Sure you don't need it?"

"No." Kitty hugged herself tight.

She said slowly, "Then, how about my parents?"

"They'll be okay. Red saved them."

"You saw, didn't you?"

"Yeah. So?"

"Then, who are we going to stay with, Lance?"

Lance answered, "Mysique. And some other three guys too."

"Guys?" Kitty's eyes widened.

"Any problem? Mystique's already enrolled you to Bayville High, anyway. She's a shape-shifter and she happens to be the Principal of that school too. She'll be Raven Darkholme to you." Lance said.

Kitty looked down. "I…Lance, I'm not sure."

"About what?"

"About schooling again. The X-Men…what about them then?"

Lance threw his fork down and said, "Mystique told me they're our enemies. Don't trust any of them."

"Why not? Jean Grey…she's pretty nice."

Lance stood up, grabbing Kitty's arm, "C'mon, we're going already."

Kitty found herself back in Lance's jeep, heading for Bayville. Wherever the bloody place was anyway.

Kitty came face to face with a huge house. Well, not that big, just a pretty plain boarding house. "Is this it, then?"

"Yep. I've never been here myself but it looks good enough…I think." Lance helped get kitty's luggage too.

Kitty grabbed onto Lance's arm and phased them both through. Using her powers were still a big mystery for Kitty but she think she's getting the hang of it now.

The place was pretty messy and the first sight left Kitty speechless. Lance threw the luggage on the ground and looked around. "A lot better than the orphanage, I'd say."

Kitty's goose pimples came up, "This is it?"

"What do you expect anyway?" a guy with straight white hair came zipping out of the "living room" and circled around her.

Kitty was stunned but while seeing a mega huge mutant just stomp a huge hole through the wall, she changed her mind.

The only thing that freaked her out was that green, icky, slimy toad-looking thing that left the hair on her neck standing up.

Pietro smirked, "Hello, I'm Pietro. You must be the new ones, huh?"

Lance stood in front of Kitty, "What new ones are you taking about?"

"The new people Mystique told us about, yo. I'm Toad." He let out his tongue and caught a fly.

Kitty totally freaked out, "God, I'm out of here. Definitely too crazy for me."

A tall, blue lady with hair the color of rubies got in just in time to stop her. "Now, now, kitty, let's all be friends and get to know each other better. How about that?"

Kitty shrugged, "You're…Mystique, right?"

"Smart girl, Kitty. And people…" Mystique glared at all the guys, except for Lance. "Learn to respect them both. If I'm not wrong, their powers are better and more formidable than all of you three combined." She made a mark to glare at Toad.

"What can she do anyway? I can crush her in t' half faster than anything."

"Kitty, will you please show us, and Fred here, what your powers can really, really do?" Mystique stood one side.

Kitty gulped and holding her breath, she phased through a wall and back. "How's that, Mystique?" Kitty asked, blushing a little.

This little action of hers left all the Brotherhood boys absolutely quiet and dead stunned. Mystique was majorly satisfied with her "beautiful" recruitment. "Well done, Kitty. From now on, you shall be called Shadowcat. In fact, all of us here have names. Like Fred is known as Blob, Pietro is Quicksilver and Todd Tolansky is very much known as Toad, as we can all tell."

Mystique beckoned for Lance to use his powers and yes, he did. The whole house tumbled, rocked and tremor-ed at his command and under his feet. Mystique just watched on.

"Wonderful. Just wonderful. Yes, we can take down Bayville and all of the X-Men down beautifully. Especially with the both of you." Mystique smiled at her "new students".

"Wait, the X-Men?" Kitty exclaimed.

"Yes, dear. The X-Men. Xavier's puppets. Don't go anywhere near them, Kitty. They might bring harm to you." Mystique turned her back towards them.

"The room's upstairs. Blob and Toad, I want you two to bunk out downstairs." She braked nastily at the both of them.

Lance once again helped kitty with her luggage upstairs. "I'll take this one." Lance said, staring at his "room". It was a mess but at least a bed, a table, cupboard and bathroom were all in sight.

Kitty's room was better and Kitty figured a little cleaning up would do just fine.

"Um, thanks lance. Really." Kitty blushed silently, before returning to her room.

"You didn't expect this, did you?" Lance said, as if reading her mind inside and out. He didn't expect it himself either.

Kitty shook her head no, "Not really. I expected better, really."

"Me too." He looked at how depressed she was and smiled.

"Hey, we'll bunk out here ok. Who cares anyway? Just don't look like that and smile, pretty-kitty." Lance lifted Kitty's chin up and to face him.

Kitty never heard lance speak like this and returned his smile. "Thanks, Lance. I like you to do that."

"My pleasure." Lance said, awkwardly.

Kitty found herself actually liking him. Hey, he was nice to her, so what's so bad about that?

Lance begun to retreat back to his room when Kitty hugged him from behind.

And then when he turned back to see her, she phased back into her room quickly, not wanting to be too embarrassed.

Lance smiled to himself.

It was weird to even think about half of it but he felt himself drawn to Kitty.

If only she were there, standing in front of him now, he'd be hugging her right back.

Gosh, I really think I'm crazy already…If my English Is not so good and if you see anything that's mega-wrong about my spelling, please tell me, ok? I mean, I'll be dead honest with you. I'm really a Chinese but my country speaks more English than mandarin. But don't treat me any differnt. I'm really more to westernised stuff, especially movies. Can't wait for X-men 3 to finally, like, air!
