Ryan leaped off his bike and saw Kitty shaking like she'd just been through 5 car accidents in one day and yet still she was living. Ryan laughed and said "Oh god! Rogue toss me your

camera!" Rogue said "Not now Ryan! LOOK!" Ryan and Kitty looked in the sky and saw a girl, but she was completely in flames and a large ball was forming around her of the same

greenish yellow flames she was at the moment. A little girl of maybe 5 or 6 was on the sidewalk crying and she had about 2 pretty bad burns on her face, one on her fore head the other

on her cheek. Kitty took off her helmet and walked over to the girl as she was being approached by MRD men and Kitty quickly phased through them before she knocked them all out with

a quick and good kick. She smiled and said "Well that's done." She turned towards the little girl who was shaking with fright and Kitty said "It's ok, can you tell me what your name is?"

The girl shook her head still shaking and Kitty said sweetly "Please, I'm here to help." Kiera calmed down a little and said "I'm K-Kiera Thompson." Kitty recognized the name and said "Oh

yes, you're the mayor's daughter." Kiera said "M-my sister up there." She pointed at the flame in the sky and said "Her p-powers doing something." Kitty nodded and said "Everything will

be ok, I promise." She took Kiera's hand and then picked her up seeing her leg was twisted and took her over to Ryan and said "Ryan take Kiera to the institute and bring back the rest

of the X-men." Ryan said "Hey no! I signed up for hero job not babysitter! Besides I'm not good with kids!" Kiera gave him a frightened look and she berried her head in Kitty's shoulder

and he said "You see!" Kitty said "Ryan you have to, ok!" And before Ryan could protest she had put Kiera in his arms and ran over to Rogue and they began to discuss a plan. He said a

little nervously to Kiera "So, you like bikes?"

10 mintues later

Kitty said to Rogue "Ok, we have to perhaps get Kurt in there and put the power in-hancer around her neck." Rogue said "Hey! As much as I hate him he's still my brother! And he has fur!

He goes in there he'll come out roasted to bits." Kitty said "Hmm, maybe Bobby then." Rogue looked up in the sky and said "I think he might be the best, but Bobby hates fire, you know

his motto 'I don't do anything to do with heat.'" Kitty said "Hmm, maybe Jean." Rogue said "Nope." Kitty said "Fine, let's stick with Bobby." Suddenly they heard the X-jet from over head

and it landed neatly on the ground and then Storm came out and stared in the sky and asked "Kitty, what's happened?" Kitty said "Were not sure but we think her powers growing, or

something." Storm said "Alright." And she floated off the ground and floated towards the fire ball and then she began to make it rain. But then suddenly a fire ball was shot at Storm and

she gasped before it hit her and she began to fall. Kurt teleported and caught her and then Scott said "Good job Nightcrawler! Now Bobby I need you to go in there!" Bobby said "Hey

no! I'm not doing that I might melt!" Scott said "Bobby come on, LOOK OUT!" Suddenly a whole pile of fire balls were flown everywhere! Jean got in front of everyone and said "Stand

back!" And then she stopped the fire balls and Bobby froze them, but then a small one hit him in the back of his head and he collapsed unconscious. Nightcrawler said "Rogue how about

you borrow some ice?" Rogue then touched Bobby's fore head and then turned into Ice and then made herself an ice walk up to the ball of fire and then she skied up to it and then pulled

up a curved device that could hook around someone's neck and Kitty phased through the bottom of the ice walk and held out her hand and Rogue touched it quick enough that Kitty

didn't go unconscious and Rogue phased through the fireball to the heart of it. She then looked at the girl who of which was covered in blood, bruises, and burns. She begged "Please!

Help me, I can't control it!" Rogue said "Everything's going to be ok, just calm down." She then put around Rania's neck the power in-hancer and then the fire ball began to decrease in

size but Rogue had to phase through the fire ball to get to the others or she would be roasted alive. When the fire ball was gone Rania turned back to her normal self but her wounds

were too great and she fell unconscious and began to fall from the sky. Ryan appeared and then gasped and then 3 adamantian bone claws erupted from his knuckles and he began to

climb up the side of a building and then jumped at the right time and caught Rania and then landed on his feet. He sighed with relief as his claws went back in and he said "Whew, that

one was close."
