Authors note: Again I will say everything belongs to Marvel. Ok I had a lot of trouble with this chapter so please tell me what you think and what I can do to improve it.

So this is the third Chapter now re-written to try and make it a bit better now that I'm older and wiser haha. Enjoy.

Chapter 3: Fight, Flight and Discoveries

The next day the three of them took their bikes out for a short road trip out of the town. Kat said she often got sick of the closed in feeling it had. When they were coming back, they stopped at the top of the hill where they had first met. All three got off their bikes and stood looking at Kat's kingdom.

"You'll be leaving soon, wont you?" Kat's voice was soft.

"Yep, we've been here to long" Logan spoke gruffly.

"You'll go back to the X-men?"

"Eventually, we'll travel 'round a bit first".

She nodded and fell silent. Gambit glanced at Logan then placed a hand on Kat's shoulder.

"Maybe you could come wit' us p'tite, you were sayin' de other day dat your bored here".

She looked at him then Logan "you don't want me taggin' after you" she said with a small smile "you got things to do".

"Actually darlin', we would love for you to come" Logan told her "you could travel with us and then come and met the X-men".

She looked at them hopefully "Really, you don't mind?"

"Course not p'tite, it would be fun" Gambit smiled at her.

"Dangerous though." Logan warned. "We live pretty rough darlin'"

"I can handle it"

He chuckled "I know you can"

"Alright. So we gota deal?"

"Yea we got a deal."

Kat beamed up at him. Suddenly her smile disappeared, all three of them spun around and settled into fighting stances. At least twenty teenagers dropped from the trees or walked out from behind bushes and boulders. It was the same gang who jumped them on their first day, and they were all mutants. Their leader stepped forward then turned to his gang.

"Kill them" he snarled.

And so the battle began.

Gambit threw one boy over his shoulder into the girl behind. He leapt into the air and threw his charged cards in a fan, every one hit its target. He was in a completely different place when the boulder, thrown by an abnormally strong girl, landed. He sped from place to place kicking, punching, throwing and lashing out with the bo-staff he had pulled out of his pocket.

Logan was in the thick of things punching people left, right and centre (he kept his claws in). Then a boy and girl barreled into him and a wrestling match started.

Kat leaped through the air, landing a spinning kick on one boy before punching another. She dodged a laser, then another and leapt over a very long sword that seemed to be attached to a girls arm. She landed, rolled and came up again head butting a girl under the chin. She found herself back to back with Gambit. They fought side by side, almost like they had practiced it.

Gambit threw a card making a boy fly backward into a tree.

"Kat!" he yelled, "you got to get out of here. Me an' Logan can handle dis!"

"Not a chance!" she yelled back.

She put one hand one Gambits shoulder and leaped into the air kicking a boy in the face just as he was about to impale him one a spear.

"This is mah turf an' I'm gonna fight fo' it" Kat said as she landed.

Gambits staff whipped past her ear and knocked a boy unconscious. He grabbed Kats arm and spun her around in a circle, she kicked three girls and a boy and knocked them out. Gambit let her go and she landed back to back again.

"Look" he said "me an' Logan are mutants, you aren't" he threw some more cards. "We can handle dis, now get out of he-".

He didn't finish his sentence as Kat cried out and threw herself sideways into him, sending them both flying to the ground. Earth exploded where they had been only seconds before. Gambit stared in shock at the crater that had been formed.

"Mierda!" Kat snarled looking up "they called in reinforcements"

Gambit looked up. Nearly fifteen mutants were in the air. Now things were getting serious, there were about thirty mutants on the ground and he was getting tired. Logan fought his way over to them and they all fought side by side.

Kat looked around realizing that things were getting desperate.

'Time to bring out the big guns' she thought grimly.

"Get behind me!" She yelled at her two allies.

They rushed to obey. Raising her arms and frowning in concentration she let out a breath. With a burst of sudden heat, fire whooshed into being in a protective wall around them. The heat from the blast kept people at bay allowing Kat and the men to re-group. Kat lowered her arms and the fire reduced to a small globe in each of her hands. Gambit and Logan flanked her either side as the mutants pushed forward again.

"Let's show 'em what we got!" Kat snarled

The men growled in agreement and lunched themselves back into the midst of the group. Kat stayed on the edge of the battle watching Gambit's and Logan's backs. Any who looked like they were presenting too much off a problem got a ball of fire to their back. It seemed a few of their opponents had brains and it didn't take long for two to turn on Kat. She was sucked back into the thick of the fighting, though her punches now had the added danger of containing fire.

Then a tree caught alight. Kat hissed and raised a hand. A torrent of water came out of nowhere dousing the tree and the fire in its brunches. Now Kat welded both water and fire on her enemies maintaining a very small upper hand. The mutants in the air didn't realize their immediate danger until Kat sent a glare their way. A small tornado swept into the air, swirling the mutants around making them crash into each other.

It took a lot of concentration to wield the three elements though, so Kat let the wind free to wreak havoc without her guidance. But more mutants came and Kat was forced to drop her control of the water as well. She continued with just the fire, punching, kicking, dodging and throwing as well as trying to wield the power of the elements. Gambit and Logan fought with her, but it seemed that for every mutant they took down two more would appear and all three of them were getting tired. Then it happened. A spear came out of no-where stabbing Logan threw the heart. He looked at it in surprise then slowly fell to the ground. Kat paused in her fighting and looked at him in horror. Gambit glanced up in time to see a tear track down the girls cheek before she turned her murderous gaze on Logan's killer.

"You're dead" She whispered.

The air throbbed as Kat slowly rose into the air. Wind whipped around her releasing her hair from its plait. Her hands glowed blue and her eyes blazed with golden fire. Then her hair turned green and all hell broke loose. Vines and branches lashed out at people, roots burst from the ground and wrapped around people's arms and legs, fire roared knocking people down and burning others. Water blasted pinning people to trees and boulders and wind ripped people out of the sky slamming them into the ground. Gambit, knocked off his feet by the wind, dragged himself over to Logan and yanked the spear from his chest. They both lay flat as the wind died down and watched as Kat floated over to the leader of the gang. Nathan was wrapped completely in vines, he struggled and whimpered as she came closer.

"Oh dry up Nathan!" Kat snarled "I ain't gonna kill ya, even though I have good reason, so quit whimperin".

He gulped then looked up at her.

"Please let us go" he pleaded, "we'll do anything, just let us go."

She looked him over "Will ya swear never tah disobey mah laws and cause trouble again?"

He nodded, "yes, anything you say is law from now on".

She nodded. Slowly the vines started letting go, the fire and water disappeared and the wind released its pressure. As soon as they were free the gang ran. Kat glanced around and spotted Logan and Gambit. She glided over to them and she floated back to the ground.

"Sorry 'bout that" she whispered and collapsed.

Okay that's it, sorry to leave it there but I'll hopefully have another chapter up soon. So please review and tell me what you think and how I can improve it.

Ok bit more detail and hopefully better grammar, though I never can tell.
