Chapter 3

Let us now fast forward a little bit to where things start to get exciting and where you get to hear about my third and final natural mutation. Now I had been at the institute for about 7 years now and had practically mastered my teleportation ability. I felt fantastic about myself, I felt like no one could beat me, and no one could. Not Scott, Wolverine even had trouble keeping up with me, and definitely not Bobby but bless his heart he kept trying. Needless to say, I was cocky. One day while sparring with Bobby who had became my rival, the dude was butt-hurt because Kitty had grown fonder of me then of him so he always challenged me to spare. Poor Bobby never won though, but this day was different. I was off of my game and he had me on the defense, which was rare. Bobby had used a sheet of ice to get me off my feet and he was preparing to fling a giant chunk of ice at me before I teleported away. Apparently I had gotten predictable because Bobby was waiting for me. He through the ice block where I was planning on teleporting and all I could do was put my hands up to potentially block it. Then something spectacular happened. The frozen block of ice began to change, morph really, in my hands. The chunk began to flatten out then shape into a cylinder with a point on it. I held my new formed ice spear in amazement and proceeded to throw it right back at Bobby. Oh his face was priceless, he barely had time to make a shield before my spear obliterated it and sent him flying onto his ass. He got up obviously angry and yelled at me

"How the hell did you do that!? Are you using some technology to change my ice?! That's just like you! Using some sort of trick to beat me! You can never beat me honestly can you!"

Being the cocky S.O.B I had grown to be at the time I simple replied

"Bobby you've never been close to beating me and not once have I cheated. You just suck."

I found myself hilarious, as I still do, so I was laughing so hard I didn't even notice Charles and Wolverine enter the danger room.

Charles spoke first

"Very impressive Kyd, I believe we have found a third mutation in you"

"Ya think?" I said laughing.

Wolverine then talked to Bobby

"You almost had him kid, nice try."

Once Bobby got off the floor he stormed off frustrated, as he should be I mean how would feel if I kept kicking your ass every week AND your crush liked me better? Poor kid. All right well back to Charles talking to me. He said a lot of things but all I heard was

"Blah blah blah blah new mutation blah blah blah come to my office."

I think he knew I wasn't paying attention, I mean of course he knew I wasn't paying attention he's the most powerful telepath of all time but of course I followed him to his office to find out about this new mutation.

When I got to Charles' office Beast aka Hank McCoy was in the room. If anyone was going to know about this new mutation it was going to be Hank. Charles spoke first

"So Hank have you seen anything like this?"

After a few moments went by I realized that was my cue to demonstrate my new power

"Oh sorry bout that Charles."

I picked up a nearby chair and thought about a sword and right before our eyes the chair changed into a sword perfectly fit to my hand and the blade was razor sharp. Hank's face looked shocked

"No Charles I can't say I have"

Charles then seemed concerned with what Hank had just said.

"Well Hank do you think you can explain it?"

Hank got a big sharp-toothed grin on his face and said,

"Based on Kyd's demonstration it seems to be quite simple. I believe Kyd can change the molecular structure of any element"

"Do you mean I can change something from say wood to metal or anything else?"

"Well Kyd I'm not sure you can clearly change the structure of something I don't know if you can change the molecular chemistry but you can change something from one shape to another as you did with the chair and with Bobby's ice block. It's really an outstanding mutation. I'd like to test it a bit if you don't mind. Can you come to my lab for a bit and experiments?"

"Yea no problem Fuzz Ball but I'm gonna grab some food first." Before they knew it I teleported to the kitchen.

I was greeted with a screech of Kitty dropping all her food. I instantly jumped into action grabbing her plate before the food fell off it and grabbed Kitty so she didn't fall herself. Yea I was smooth. I slyly said to Kitty as I looked into her eyes

"Sorry bout that Kitty Cat didn't mean to scare you. You all right?"

She seemed to be taking away by what just happened

"I am now" she said as she smiled and bit her lower lip.

Just then Bobby walked into the kitchen and saw me with my arm around Kitty and he flipped out. Turning into his full ice form and throwing 4 spikes at us, I quickly teleported us behind Bobby and said

"What the hell Bobby!? You could've killed us! Are you insane!?"

Bobby then saw the fear in Kitty's eyes and just said

"I…I'm sorry" and just stormed out of the room.

I looked at Kitty and said

"Well Kitty Cat you got two choice here" she smiled as I said her little nickname I have for her she then replied with a sweet

"Oh and what's that?"

"One, you can go comfort Cold Shoulder"

I could tell she didn't really like that choice so I gave her the other one

"OR you could come with me to check out my new mutation" she smiled and said

"Oh new mutation that sounds interesting, Kyd I'd love to check that out."

So without a moments hesitation I teleported us to Hanks lab to get on with these experiments.

Hank saw me with my arm around Kitty and he said

"Well sorry to break it to you Kyd but that's not food"

"Oh I know Hank but she's just so sweet I couldn't just leave her in the kitchen. Plus I'm a little nervous about my new mutation, Kitty Cat her will keep me calm."

I wasn't nervous but you better believe Kitty's face lit up when I said that, did I mention I was smooth?

Hank had a bunch of different slabs of materials all laid out on his worktable and had me change each material into a sword. I did so flawlessly and even screwed around and made a prosthetic arm out of wood. Then a crazy idea came to mind.

"Hey Hank, do you think I could change human flesh if I needed to?" he and Kitty both looked at me in shock

"Well I guess you could it is after all full of molecules as is everything else. So I don't see why not. Why do would you like to try?"

I looked at him confidently and said, "Yes, yes I would."

Kitty ran up to me and put her arms around me and told me not to. I advised her that everything would be fine. In about five minutes I'd realize how wrong that statement would become. I told Kitty and Hank to back up and held both my hands and focused on not only changing the flesh but the bones in my hands as well. As I pulled my hands apart I felt immense pain in them. So much so that I dropped to my knees in agony but I had to keep going so as I pulled my hands apart they began to point into blades and I had done it. I made my hands into blades, but were they sharp? Hell yes they were. I had Kitty throw up the wood I had alerted earlier and I sliced it two with ease. Then the problems arouse. When I changed my hands back to normal the bones were all misshaped and misplaced. In layman's terms my hands were jacked up and they hurt, bad. I screamed

"Hank can you do anything about this?! Look at my hands! They look like the buttons on the calculator no one uses!"

Kitty was in shock "Oh my god Kyd what have you done!? Mr. McCoy you have to do something!"

Hank tried to calm me down and took an X-ray of my hands and they were very destroyed, Hank said he could save most of my skin on my hands but the only way he could have my hands have their shape again was to implant vibranium into my hands to replace my bones. I'll skip how it was done because honestly I don't know how but I do know it hurt like a mother and caused the skin around my knuckles to rip and cause the metal to show through my knuckles. That was the first and last time I ever tried to shape my own flesh. All in all I'm glad I did it, now I have nice heavy hands to bash through whoever gets in my way. Kitty won't let me live it down even now she gives me crap for it whenever I see her.

A few days later I was training with one of the new recruits who just called himself Steelhead because his mutation was that his body was covered with a odd metal plating. Well I'm going to warn you right now that the end of this isn't very pretty so if you have a weak stomach I'd skip to the next chapter. We were training and seeing as Steelhead was made of metal my vibranium hands weren't doing as much damage as I wanted them to. He was landing a lot of shots on me and the damn did this kid pack a wallop.

"Damn Rusty you got some hams you're throwing there but I'm just going easy on you, I call this one the twister!"

I began to hit him from behind then teleport a foot to the side in a circular motion landing a blow each time I reappeared. I knew this would only last so long before Steelhead picked up on my pattern and I was right. Before I knew it he landed a swift punch and blasted me into the wall of the danger room causing debris to fling everywhere. Steelhead laughed and said

"Ha! Not as good as I thought you'd be! The legendary Kyd Chance falls to me Steelhead!" just as he finished the sentence I said from behind him

"Not Quite!" and grabbed both of his metal arms and morphed them into metal baseball bats.

Steelhead screamed as they fell off of him. His blood was that of what resembled motor oil. Two spinning shots to his face dropped him to his knees. I'm not sure what came over me but I began to beat this poor kid senseless. Steelhead's face dented just like a car I could sense the life begin to disappear in him as I viciously rained down blows with the bats I had made from this poor bastards arms. Before I knew it Wolverine was pulling me off of him and throwing me aside. He jumped at me to try to subdue me but I teleported out of the way I tried to teleport away but something stopped me. It was Xavier. He had mentally blocked me from getting away as much as I tried. He spoke to me telepathically,

"Kyd what are you doing?" I thought to him

"I don't know what came over me Charles, something just snapped in my head"

"Go to your room Kyd, you need to go cool off."

He let me go and I teleported to my room. I was there for an hour or so and there was a knock on the door.

"Come in Kitty Cat" I said seeing as she would be the only one who cared enough to come check at me. I was embarrassed when it was not kitty but Laura who came to see me.
"Well, well, well if it isn't Miss Kinney. What can I do for you Miss Kinney? Were
