Chapter 7:

Kurt scribbled onto a piece of paper happily, with his tongue sticking out to the side. Gambit was observing from over his shoulder to catch any errors or any additions that could be made to the note.

The ex-thief squinted his eyes as Kurt wrote. "okay fo' this part, try sayin' somthin' 'bout her fur." he suggested. The blue mutant boy thought for a moment then continued to scribble again. Gambit then switched to the other side of the busy mutant to get a better view of what he was writing.

Kurt continued writing and pausing every now and again, until finally, "Done!" he exclaimed as he held up the paper with pride. "You don't think its too mushy do you?" Gambit read through the paper. "Trust me Mon ami, its perfect." he said with a smile.

The fuzzy blue love struck elf, was finally ready, he was going to ask Anya to be his Valentine.

…

In the kitchen Rogue, Jean, and Scott were cleaning up soot and putting out fires that were caused by the explosion of their oven. Logan was supervising. He had his arms crossed with his usual scowl directed toward the double-color haired Goth. "I cant believe this." said Scott. "Hey it was an honest mistake." retorted Rogue. "Besides, its not like anyone got hurt." she said. She then continued mopping while remaining oblivious to a fairly singed bobby groaning in agony on the floor just inches away from them.

Logan sighed wondering 'how the heck could there be so much disappointment in only two days.' he thought. As the kids finished cleaning up most of the mess Jean straightened up her posture and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Logan is it okay if we take a break?" she asked. "Fine, but this mess better be cleaned by the end of the day." he growled before walking out of the kitchen.

Scott sighed "So what do we do now?" he said. "Well I dunno bout' you guys, but I'm going back to ma' book." Rogue said as she set the mop onto the wall, then stepped over Bobby, who was still groaning on the floor.

…

When Rogue returned to hers and Kitty's room she heard giggling from behind the door. She opened it to find Kitty still working on Anya's hair. However it seemed that it wasn't all they were doing. There were hair accessories all over Kitty' s dresser, the girl's bed had all of her clothes scattered out on it, along with her box of jewelry.

"um…Kitty? Anya?" she spoke. "Oh hey Rogue. What do you think?" she asked. She stepped aside and revealed Anya, and what the Goth teen saw made her eyes widen: The red bat-like mutant girl was all dolled up in Kitty's clothing. She was now wearing a white quarter sleeve blouse with a v-shaped neckline, and light blue denim pants. Her darker red hair was put up into a pony tail on top, and the back was left going down her back. Two strands were braided down the side, and she wore a shiny pink heart necklace with smaller heart charms on either side of it, dangling from a silver chain, pink heart hair clips, and a silver bracelet with several, heart charms.

"Oh my Gosh! She's so pink!" Screamed Rogue in shock. "Yes!" cheered Kitty. Anya looked to her confused. "but she doesn't like it." she said. "That's how we know it's a total success!" responded Kitty. "Kurt is gonna love you in this." she said with confidence. "Are you sure I don't need my image inducer?" asked the shy mutant girl. "Trust me Anya, Kurt will totally like you, just the way you are"

The hopeful girl smiled at the kind words. "Okay." she said. Soon the girls walked out passing by an almost terrified Rogue. "See you later Rogue." said Kitty. Once the girls were out of earshot the Goth shuddered, "…So-much-pink!" she then ran back into the room shutting the door behind her.

…

While the two lovebirds were busy with their romantic plots, Hank was doing some work on the computer. He was analyzing the data found in the chip that fell off the Juggernaut. He hummed in thought as much was revealed on to the screen. Just as he had made his discovery the Professor rolled in with Storm close behind.

"Hello Hank, have you found anything?" asked Xavier. "yes. It seems the chip found on Cain was a mind controlling device." he said. The two were shock to here this. "Do you know who was responsible?" ask Storm. "There's no way to tell who designed it, but if I had to guess, I'd say it was Doc. Sinister." Beast responded.

"Yes, Magnus did mention that Sinister is the one who shared his research on advancing mutation." said the weather queen. "and since we know the altercations to Anya's mutation are the same as Kurt's, we can also assume that Sinister is the one who's after her." added the Professor.

The three were silent for a moment. They were all wondering how they were going to stop this madman, especially when he's brainwashing powerful mutants to do his bidding.

"Hm. I think I'll have to take Jean up on her suggestion." said the professor as he put a hand to his chin.

…

Meanwhile Kurt was wondering the house looking for Anya. The love-struck fur ball was more than a little nervous about giving her his note. every time he was about to go into a room, he'd hesitate wondering what he'd say or do if his beautiful red-furred love was actually there.

Now he was getting antsy because he couldn't find her. He was torn between perusing his search, or just giving up and locking himself into his bedroom until he had grey fur. "Kurt!" said a sudden voice, scaring the timid mutant so bad that he teleported onto the chandelier of the foyer. It was merely the Professor and Hank.

"Are you alright Kurt?" asked Hank. "Uh…yeah, just-hanging around…heh." he nervously tried to joke. He quickly stuffed the love letter into his shirt pocket, as Logan walked in. "You break that chandelier and you die, fuzzy-ball!-I don't think I can handle another broken thing today!" said the irritated man. Kurt then immediately teleported back down to the ground.

Logan gave the blue-furred teen a warning glare before walking away. Charles then cleared his throat, "Now Kurt, I'd like to ask you a favor." he started. Kurt gave an "uh-huh." as he rocked his body back and fourth on his heels, itching with anticipation. He was hardly listening. "As you know these attacks on Anya have become quite frequent, and I think it would be best if someone looked after her." explained the older man. "What?" Kurt asked. The wiser paraplegic sighed and face-palmed. "Anya." he repeated the name. "Anya?!-is she coming this way?!" panicked Kurt after teleporting onto Hank's back. "No Kurt, she's not. Now get off." said Beast. The scary blue mutant let go of his instructor as the Professor continued. "Anya needs someone to keep an eye on her. I have decided that person will be you." he finished.

Kurt looked at his elder mentor blankly, then looked around to be sure that he was referring to him. "Me?" he asked dumbly. Both older males sighed. "Yes Kurt you. I'd like you to watch over Anya, and be with her at all times until we sort all this out." said Xavier. "sort all of what out?" Kurt questioned. Charles was at his limit, "Just don't let Anya out of your sight!" Charles bursts out. Kurt then finally registered what he was saying and immediately straightened his poster and gave a salute, "Y-Yes, right!-No problem Professor!" he said before he ported away leaving the two men with a slight headache.

"What is wrong with that boy?" asked Hank. "I have no idea. No telepathy power in the world is capable of figuring out a teenager." said the vexed professor.

…

Kurt ended up outside the institute. He was behind one of the trees that were planted around the mansion. "Urrrgh!-get a hold of yourself Wagner! Its now or never." he told himself. He was tired of being all skittish and scary. He had to find Anya so that he could finally tell her his feelings.

Sure its only been a day, but come on! It's Valentines Day, and its suppose to be the day that everyone gets all mushy and romantic. Kurt was just as qualified as anyone to experience the same thing, even if it was just for a day.

He finally took a deep sigh, and continued to go back into the school. "Hello Kurt." said a sudden voice. "Oh, hi Anya-…ah!" he had then just realized that he was talking to Anya, making him jump back in surprise. Even so he tried to keep his cool. "H-Hi Anya, w-what can I do for you?" said Kurt.

"I've been looking for you everywhere." she said. "Really?" asked Kurt. "Yes. What is that?" she questioned after noticing the paper in the other mutant's hand. "Oh-This? Its…um…well…" the furry blue mutant struggled to get out, an answer. Anya was looking at him so innocently, and she looked so pretty in her new outfit. If Kurt could sweat, he'd be steaming as if he were in a sauna. He then swallowed hard, and held out the paper in a shaky hand toward Anya. "Anya…I-…" he was then cut off by a huge earthquake, that ripped the ground apart separating them from each other.

…

Inside Logan was napping on the couch until he heard and felt the strong tremors as well. "What now?!" he growled as he got out his claws and rushed out the door, Jean, Kitty, and Scott followed closely behind, ready for battle.

When they got to the scene, they groaned. "Great it's the Brotherhood." said Scott. They were certainly not in the mood to be dealing with these clowns. Before they could complain the four mutants attacked. They were obviously heading after Anya. Said mutant girl was still dazed from the fall, but Kurt immediately teleported her out of the way. After that X-men attacked as well.

…

Meanwhile in the lair of Dr. Sinister he watched the progress of his mindless puppets on a screen. Everything seemed to be going well. Apparently he had a little trick up his sleeve, to get Anya for his research. He just needed to wait for the right moment.

…

Fighting the Brotherhood was normally easy, but fighting them while under mind control?- that was proving to be really hard.

It seems the delinquent losers are actually an exceptional fight when they're being controlled by an evil mastermind.

As Avalanche continued making earthquakes Quicksilver was using his speed to throw every one off. As he sped past, Cyclops nearly lost control of his shooting and Jean lost her balance, making it easy for Toad to attack. Blob basically acted as a bulldozer, as he ran through everyone. Kurt and Anya watched from the entrance in worry. "Kurt we have to help them." said Anya. Kurt nodded and soon the two had joined the fight.

…

Kurt teleported into the fray whipping Toad in the face with his tail, then swung Anya into the air to use her screech to wipe two of the guys out; Avalanche and Quicksilver. Blob came running toward them, but now that Avalanche was out of commission, everyone had their balance back. Kitty used the same move to trap Blob in the ground, like she did with The Juggernaut at the school. He tried to break free until Jean put his mental lights out, leaving him incapacitated. Toad attempted to strike his tongue at Anya who was still in the air, Kurt ported in front of the bat-like mutant, and grabbed the tongue, stopping it completely. Scott then blasted the little wart, sending him flying backwards, making him fall unconscious.

"Great team work guys!" said Scott. "Looks like they were under the same mind control as Cain was." said Logan. He had found a chip that likely fell off one of the teen enemies during the battle. Jean then noticed that something fell out of Quicksilver's pocket. It was some kind of metal device. "Hey Red! don't touch that!" called Logan.

At that moment Sinister had pressed a button on a control, and soon it was too late. The metal device in the telepath's hands had opened up emitting a strange green cloud of smoke. As Jean dropped it the whole team began coughing all except for Anya. She flew above watching as everyone fell from the gas.

Then suddenly a net had snared her. Domino was there and she had shot the net to bring down the furry red mutant girl. When Anya fell, she too had been engulfed in the smoke knocking her out immediately. Domino then dragged the Mutant girl out to the gates of the estate, and loaded her on to a truck.

Anya would soon be in the hands of Dr. Sinister.
