Kai had been pushing her motorcycle at least 200 miles per hour for the last four hours, getting her from Louisiana to the Canadian border in about half a day instead of the two days it would've taken. She even got so desperate that she pumped the NOS tank in the back. But, even going that fast, her sense of dread just kept growing.
Reaching her destination, she stopped her bike at the end of the 'usable' road. Everything from then on was washed out by the dam break. So, she quickly got off her bike, throwing her black helmet to the ground and started running. Evergreens flashed by her as she pumped her arms up and down, using her animalistic momentum to propel herself through the last stretch of forest. She would never be able to forgive herself if she let Scott die; if she let Jean become the monster she had foreseen her to become. Ever since she had come to the mansion, Kai had been a loner, Jean was one of her few friends. She would never forgive herself if anything happened to her.
Flashback
Kai felt more exhilarated than she had felt in months. Panting lightly, she stood up in her human form, just recently transformed. Months cooped up in the hospital had driven her mad, no where to run, no fresh air, and no freedom. She quickly looked around to check if there was anyone around. Seeing no one, she quickly put her clothes on and grabbed her messenger bag. Clothes didn't change when she did. They either ripped if she shifted large or got left when she shifted small. She always had to be careful where she put her clothes. It was very embarrassing if she had to go up to some random house stark naked and ask for clothes if hers got stolen. As she started to leave the clearing she heard a crack of a twig behind her. She whirled around, going into defensive mode, crouching down. A girl, not so much older than her had been climbing down from the tree beside her. She reached the ground and walked cautiously towards the feral. Very quickly, as if deciding to just get it over with, she put out her hand to shake Kai's and said very hurriedly -
"Hi, I'm Jean Grey. The professor sent me to look for you, but you took off running before I could get to you and I didn't want to just leave you out here, so I waited here in that tree, by the way, it was very cool what you did back there, you know, the whole turning into a wolf thing.
Kai, so dumbfounded that this girl had just come up and spouted off a whole paragraph to her without seeming to take a breath, asked incredulously, and without thinking –
"Did you even take a breath during that monologue?" She slowly rose from her defensive stance, her eyebrow quirked, as she took in the girl before her.
The girl, Jean Grey, looked questioningly at her for a moment before cracking up into laughter, "No…" she replied between gulps of air, "I don't think I did!" Both still laughing outrageously, the two teens walked back to the mansion.

Please don't let me be late
Breaking through the tree line Kai quickly took in all that was before her. The Blackbird was to her right, some ways away with, she assumed, Ororo at the helm. A man whom she didn't know was making his way towards it. But, her main attention was on the two people before her. She knew it had to be Jean and Scott because of the way they were embracing each other. As they kissed Jeans eyes flashed open and the light in her eyes turned to fire as the veins in her skin turned black.
"Jean…NO!" Kai screamed as she sprinted towards them. Logan, turned around at the woman's scream and looked to where she was running. He saw Jeans face grow darker, her eyes black, as Scott's face grew paler by the second, his veins turning black as well.
"NO" he yelled as he took off towards them.
Logan reached them first, being the closest and pulled Scott away from Jean. But, that only drew her attention to him. As Scott crumpled to the ground, the thing he had thought to be Jean turned her rage on him. Suddenly, Logan couldn't move his body. It was like there was an invisible force holding him there, until that force started to pull his body apart. Logan yelled in agony as Jean focused all her attention on him. Kai finally reached them about half a second later. She used Jeans focus of attention to surprise her. She quickly one of her psionic blasts, a trick she had learned from the professor, at Jean's head hoping that it would knock her out. One blast could usually knock a person out for a day. Any more than that and a regular person would go into a coma.
Well, Jean wasn't regular.
She looked fleetingly at Logan, and used her telekinesis to throw him across the beach, smashing him against one of the trees lining the shore.
Seeing that Jean was still conscious, Kai quickly burst out two more blasts at her. At that, the black in Jean's face and eyes slowly faded as she blinked once or twice before crumpling to the ground beside Scott. Kai ran over towards her and checked her pulse. Oh thank God, she thought in a rush, as she felt a weak but stable heartbeat. Then she turned to check on Scott, who thankfully was also still alive…barely. He needed to get back to the med lab; they both did.
Breathing heavily from the exertion of three psionic blasts, Kai slowly stood and looked up, in surprise, to the man should have been dead, but was surprisingly standing in front of her, a little out of breath as well.
Kai looked at him with surprise.
"Hi".

Alrighty! So, How did you like it? If you press that little green button, you can tell me all about it. And I'll mention all of my reviewers in my next chapter.
*Also, if you want to be a mutant, either at the institute, or in the Brotherhood, just put it in a review with the name and power. It would also help if you put a personal history in too. If not, I can make one up myself.*
toodaloo!

P.S. : I find it kind of disheartening that I've had 2,009 hits, but only a few reviews. People! The more reviews I get, the more I will write.
Jeez!
