Hi this is my first fanfic, so please go easy on me!

My screen name is Elements4 and I have a bit in common with my own character, Anna/Element. Her powers are…

Well, I won't spoil the story! I hope you have fun!

29th March, 2005

Kitty's POV

For once the mansion was quiet. I heaved a sigh of relief as I leaned back in the chair, contemplating the letter I'd written to my parents so far.

My mind wandered to what the other mutants in the mansion were doing. I definitely knew where Ororo was, in Africa helping out in the lives of the poor. Logan… ah yes, he was in the garage with Scott competing to see whose vehicle was faster and sleeker. I made a face. Boys with cars were, like, so weird!

Rogue, as usual was holed up in her room reading a new creepy story she'd gotten from her friend. That girl, when she had her nose buried in a book, was unusually tame. Jean was studying for a huge biology test on Friday, and the Professor was helping her. Evan, one of the mansion's noisiest troublemakers, was out skateboarding with his friends, thankfully.

And the mansion's resident fuzzy teddy bear, Kurt was somewhere. No one could keep track of him for long, thanks to his teleporting abilities. But there was a huge possibility that he was in the kitchen fixing him a huge sandwich. I grimaced at the last memory of him trying to coax me to eat the sandwich he'd fixed. It was a sweet gesture, but mustard, peanut butter and jelly?

Not really my thing.

The New Recruits, I knew were in their rooms after an intensive workout thanks to Logan in the Danger Room. I'd caught sight of poor Jubilee's face when they'd finished and barely avoided getting crushed. Poor girl could barely stand straight. Luckily, Sam had caught her in time. Not to say that he could stand straight either.

"Do you spend so much time on that thing?" a German accented voice asked, causing me to jump about six feet in the air. I glared at the fuzzy face of Kurt Wagner, standing near the table. "I'm surprised you're not wearing glasses yet."

"Would it like, kill you to like, give a warning before you like, frighten every one out of their wits?" I asked, voice dripping with sarcasm.

"I came by the door," Kurt replied, a hurt look flitting over his face. In that instant, I realized I'd hurt his feelings. He obviously thought I'd been referring to his looks. His real image instead of the hologram he stayed behind.

"I like, didn't mean that, Kurt," I said quickly. "Sorry."

"It's okay," Kurt answered. He sat down. "You're typing another letter?"

"Ye-" I started to reply, when Professor Xavier's voice echoed through my head.

"X-Men. Assemble in my study immediately."

"And that's another thing I'll never get used to," I grumbled. I noticed Kurt by the door waiting for me. "What?" I asked him.

"A ride, madam?" he offered, holding out his arm. I giggled, taking it. Then there are good points in a teleporter!

"What do you bet he's calling us for?" Kurt asked when we arrived at our destination. I coughed and waved away the acrid smoke before replying.

"Another mutant?" I suggested.

"I bet it's another emergency," Kurt countered. He held out his hand. "Loser buys an ice-cream sundae."

"You're on!" I said gleefully, taking his hand and slapping it.

Striding into the study, I took a seat next to Kurt. Moments later, the whole team had already assembled.

"If you have noticed, powerful winds have been ripping through Bayville lately," Professor Xavier started in right away. "We've noticed these aren't normal winds."

"They've unknowingly, we believe been created by a mutant," Mr. McCoy followed up. "A mutant with extraordinary powers."

"I want you to find this mutant," Professor Xavier ordered us. "She might be a valuable asset." He turned and started typing. "We have a picture of her."

"Pay up, fuzzy," I whispered, nudging Kurt. "You owe me an ice-cream sundae."

"This isn't fair," Kurt muttered. "Are you sure you're not psychic?"

"The last time I checked, I wasn't," I retorted dryly with a grin, turning back to the screen, where the picture of the mutant was displayed.

And when I saw it, I froze.

That's it for now! PLEASE REVIEW!
