Chapter 6: Welcome to Bayville Part 2
'What a day today…' Kitty thought in her head as she was coming home from school, she was going over the events that had happened. First in for most she was stuffed in a locker by two random girls somehow she passed through the locker, then she met a guy with the ability to cause earthquakes, she later met a redhead who can control things with her mind that freaked her out.
The guy who can cause earthquakes stalks her which is creepy as heck, she just wanted to go home and rest, she was about to have a major headache but her headache was about to increase when she got home.
Upon seeing her home, she sighed in relief, "At least nothing abnormal could like happen…"
When she got to the porch, she failed to notice a blonde woman through the window chatting with her parents excitedly. When she opened the door her name was called as she passed the living room.
"Kitty just a moment." Called out her mother, "Would you come in here? There is someone who would like to meet you."
"Ugh...fine…" She walked to the living room and she saw a blonde woman wearing a white business suit with a white briefcase in hand.
"Katherine?" She said
Kitty nodded her head, "Yes?"
The blonde woman got up from the sofa, walked to Kitty extended her hand, "Emma Frost I'm the chairman of the Massachusetts Academy."
"Ooookay…like not to be rude, but what do you want from me?" Her mother gave a skeptical look that said 'why?' from her comment.
"Straight to the point then? Alright, Miss Pryde I have been looking at your transcripts and you young lady have astonished the board member of the academy. I have been personally sent to see if would join us to achieve more than just academic achievement, we want to help you with your other problem." She said
Concern was written all over her face, she started to become pale as she stuttered with words, "Wh-wh-what a-are y-you talking about?"
Her father spoke up next, "Katherine we told her about what had happened last night."
"What!" Now she was visibly pale as a sheet of paper
"Miss Frost told us that the academy helps young teenagers such as yourself with this strange occurrences Kitty, we already talked about signing papers." Her mother placed her hands on her shoulders, "This is maybe the answer that we have been looking for this strange events occurring."
Kitty in shock backed away from her mother, taking very slow steps shaking her head, "You can't …you can't do this to me!"
"Kitty we are doing this because we love you and we want what's best for you!" Her father hated to see his only daughter like this, "Please, just calm down and we'll explain this in detail."
"No, no! You're no better than that red head girl who tried to read my mind! Why can't anyone like just leave me alone!" She ran out of the house with her parents calling out to her, Emma on the other hand a slight irritation on her face.
'Charles must not get involved in this matter, I will not lose this girl to him.' She looked at both the father and the mother of Katherine, 'Time to bring out the big guns.'
"I apologize, Miss Frost, Kitty has been going through a very difficult time, especially with this sudden change in her life." Mr. Pryde said
She gave a small smile to them, "It's perfectly understandable Mr. Pryde, if you don't mind, I think I will have a little chat with Katherine if that's alright with you besides the paperwork can wait a bit longer once I find her."
Mr. Pryde rubbed his eyes lifting his glasses up, "She won't get far that much I know."
"Don't worry, I have a very useful way of finding her." She said, grabbing her suitcase she thanked the two for their hospitality. Once the door was close she put two fingers to her temples scanning for her target, she found her and she found another with her target.
'Another mutant?' She quickly made her way to her car, fired up the engine taking off to her target. Though something strange occurred when she tried turning on the engine, it would not go on.
"What in the world?" She tried the switch twice, but it would not start, soon her radio started to act up tuning into different channels, her car's alarm system started to go off, her windshield wipers and antifreeze started acting up and then a voice was heard that sent chills down her spine.
"Hello… Emma it has been a long time since I've seen you." The voice chuckled darkly, Emma took her hands off the steering wheel and ignition, placing them on her lap.
"Magneto… what an unpleasant surprise." She said cooly
At a local library
Professor Xavier decided to do some reading after leaving Jean to talk to Kitty, it has been nearly an hour and soon he received word about how things were going with the young mutant. His face went hard as soon as he heard about Lance and what he was trying to do.
"Lance could be trouble." He said, strolling out of the library, "If he bounds with Kitty, we may not be able to reach her."
Jean over the phone said, "I agree and he is reaching her."
"You have to stay with her Jean I don't want to lose her!" He exclaimed, "Whatever obstacle gets in your way, remember they can be overcome… Xavier out."
He put his cell in the pocket of his coat, rubbing his temples he sighed in irritation, "Oh, some obstacles are more irritating than others."
Downtown Bayville Ave
A red sports car pulls up in front of a multi-parking lot and two people inside the car with a quest to hunt down Wolverine. Scott and Kurt saw from the mansion Logan leaving in a hurry on his motorcycle, curious as they were, they followed him in a denser place of the mini-city.
Kurt looked north, south, east and west, for Wolverine he slammed his hand on the door of the sports car, "Dah, I've lost him."
"Hey, hey, watch the door panel!" Scott exclaimed, "There smudge resistant not dent you know!"
Kurt rolled his eyes and looked up, he saw a familiar orange on top of the parking lot, "There!" He pointed upward and Scott's eyes followed the finger to where it was the edge of the parking lot was Wolverine sniffs the air, he growled.
"I know you're here."
A moment went by and a motorcycle was soon heard, getting closer and closer to his location, coming from a nearby building Sabretooth crashed through the edge of the building he rode on, he drove his bike to where the orange suit X-Men was standing. Logan dodged rolling away from his attacker.
He looked at Sabretooth, he revved his engine at him, "Unfinished business runt!"
"Bring it on pops!" He stuck his fist in the air unsheathing metal claws at him, "Bring it on."
Tires squealed on the surface of the parking lot and as soon as Sabretooth raced towards Wolverine, he did a barrel roll slicing metal apart, Sabretooth's front tire of his bike fell apart completely and he was tossed out of the parking lot when he hit the edge of the building.
Quickly he reacted by grabbing on to the side and hauled himself in, as for the motorcycle it dropped to where a shocked Scott and Kurt were seated. Hugging each other, Kurt was about to teleport out of there when suddenly a web line was shot from out of nowhere caught the bike.
"Well, that could have been messy." A voice said. Both teens were in total silence as they looked to see a man in a black costume with a white spider in the center of his chest hanging upside down from a web, "Don't you think?"
"What the…" Was all Scott said
"What, no thank you? Now that's just rude." The black costumed man said in mock one of voice
Meanwhile, on top of the parking lot, Wolverine stood up, looking to where Sabretooth had fallen, he thought it was over, but the ground under his feet started to rumble and from underneath him came a car.
He lost his balance as he fell backwards on his behind, apparently the wolf like mutant was lifting cars and pushing them through to harm Logan and it worked. The second car he put through the top actually hit Logan.
He was about to get up, however the ground from under him, gave out and he went in. Sabretooth was not down yet, he pushed another car to Wolverine pinning him to a pillar behind his arch nemesis. In pain now, Wolverine tried to free himself, to no avail.
"One shall fall like the others had! Our destiny, we can't change it!"
Wolverine managed to grunt out, "I didn't know…urgh…you bought…that philosophy mumble, jumbo!"
"Heads up hair ball!"
"What the!" He looked to be met with a two feet to the face, he was thrown back to van, Wolverine looked at his 'rescuer', he couldn't believe his eye, there before him was Spider-Man in a new costume black costume.
"I got your destiny right here!" He picked up the car and chucked to Sabretooth, he grunted in pain as it crashed into him. Soon he tore off the car as he stood looking at his attacker. He snarled in rage.
"You!" He roared throwing his hands in the air, "I owe you some payback!"
Wolverine looked at the web-head, "I take it you fought him before."
"I'll explain later, Wolvy."
Wolverine snarled at the nickname pointing his claws at Spider-Man.
"Relax muscle brain."
Kurt came in charging at Sabretooth, he teleported in hopes of tackling him to the ground, unfortunately that did not work out as he thought it would as he bounced off his chest to the ground.
"Typical…" he said, rubbing his head
Sabrethooth was in no mood to be messing with children, reacting fast Spider-Man quickly grabbed Wolverine.
"What are you…Whoa!"
Spidey spun half way around flinging the older man to Sabretooth before he had a chance to grab Kurt with is bare hands. Logan tackled him to an elevator, he was about to strike, but the blonde haired mutant kicked him out allowing the doors to close separating them.
As the elevator went down, Wolverine claws sliced through, nevertheless he managed to escape while saying, "A taste of what's to come Wolverine!."
Cyclops and Nightcrawler came up behind him with Kurt bragging, "Ha! We showed him! We are the X-Men!"
He turned to the blue mutant, he gave a death glare, "I don't fight your battles, so don't fight mine!"
Kurt and Scott looked at each other then back at him.
"And you, what are you doing here, bub?" he snarled
"What? Can't a web-swinging hero just cruise around the neighborhood?"
"From what I know web-head this ain't your territory." Logan jabbed his finger in his chest, "I don't recall you ever coming down here before so why start now."
"First of all Wollvy…" He slapped his hand away, "Don't touch me, second I'm going to be living here from now so get used to it, you'll see me more frequently than normal, whether you like it or not."
"This ain't your place wallcrawler! So go back to the hole you crawled from and stay there." He growled
Spinning a web line to a nearby building, he said to him, "Consider this last time I help you from being squished by car." And he disappeared into the afternoon.
"He loves us." Nightcrawler said
Scott crossed his arms, "Oh yeah, big time."
Outside of Theaters Arts
Lance and Kitty walked along a path to their school, on the way it was very awkward to say the least, they didn't know how to converse to one another, so Kathrine decided to break the ice.
"H-how do you take control?" she stuttered
He placed his hands in his pockets, "By admitting that none wants to cop to…"
"Like what?" she asked
"We are outsiders and that there is something wrong with us."
Kitty lowered her head in shame, Lance mentally slapped himself. He placed an arm around her giving her a small hug, "Hey, don't fret about it, embrace it! Fate dealt us winning cards, if we play them together."
"Well else nothing seems to be making anything sense." She said
"That's why I'm here." He gave a thumbs up, "To light your path…" He saw that they were getting closer to the office, he smirked, "Our first path is to make into that office."
Kitty had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. She phased through the wall and went to unlock the door for Lance, somehow she felt excited once she passed through the door.
Outside of the school Katherine's parents came rushing to be met with Jean in a black and green spandex suit and Charles Xavier.
"Where is she?" Her father said frantically
"She broke into the office!" Jean said
Her mother was in a state of shock, "She never done anything like this before."
"Go with them Jean I'll catch up."
He watched as the two parents and his pupil ran inside. He stopped midway turning his chair, he saw the same corvette on the side of the street. He narrowed his eyes, he was about to do a scan but something else was calling out to his attention.
Emma watched as Professor Xavier disappeared, she slammed her hand on the steering wheel. If it wasn't for Magneto for holding her up, she would have been here first, but no he had to take her on a joy ride.
"Damn you Eric!" she muttered under her breath
Meanwhile in the office
Lance was on the computer hacking it, Kitty stood by his side. She was in utter horror when she found what Lance real intention were.
"Test gotten and accounted for." He laughed, taking the floppy disk
"Is this what's all about?" She asked, "Cheating!"
He looked at her with a stern face, "This crummy school uses these tests to keep us down Kitty!" He placed the disk inside of his brown vest, "Well no more! From now on we take control."
He cracked his fingers, "Now let's modify some grades…"
"No." She tried to pull him off, but he grabbed her by her wrist, making them walk backwards to the filing cabinets.
"Look there's no victim here!" he let her go, "We're just evening the score."
"This doesn't feel right Lance...I…I…change my mind!" She started leaving, "I'm going…"
"Where do you think you're going?" He grabbed her by the wrist yet again. The door suddenly opened and a man voice was heard.
"Let go of my daughter!"
They looked to see Kitty's father racing towards his daughter, lance stretched his hand out, "Far enough old man!"
Suddenly the room started to rumble and the nearby book shelf fell upon him, Kitty was in shock as she began to resist Lance.
"No stop!" she begged
"They are just going to confuse you Kitty!" He dragged her with him as he continued to shake the room apart.
Jean went to help Mr. Pryde and Mrs. Pryde tried to reach out to her daughter.
"Kitty please, we can work through this together!"
"Let go of me!" She tried to move her arm, but he had a grip on her. Lance nearly, broken through the wall, she looked back to see Jean moving the shelf away from her father.
"Kitty I pushed you too hard this I know!" His wife helped him to his feet, "I wanted to pretend that nothing was wrong but I couldn't. Then Emma Frost came with her offer and we thought it would be a good idea, but like you I'm learning still and I'm not perfect Katherine, so please make the right choice."
Tears flowed from her eyes, she looked back at Lance and then at her father. Lance tugged her, "Forget them! I'm brining the house down!"
More rumbles and this one was stronger than the last two. Jean managed to put a force field around her and Kitty's parent as debris started to fall, "You once said that your gift was a curse and if you go with him I guarantee it will be."
"Kitty please listen to her!"
"We love you."
Lance dragged her through the hole he made, "Their to late, you're with me now."
Enough was enough, "No, I'm not!" She phased through him as debris continued to fall, she raced back to her parents, Lance growled in frustration as he raced towards the other end, he saw that Kitty didn't get far as rubble consumed her. He gritted his teeth
Her parents feared the worst for their daughter, the whole building collapse and Jean was straining, then she heard the Professor voice in her head.
"Jean use your power!"
"I'm trying! But…ngh…it's too much!"
"I'll assist but keep your mind clear."
"But Kitty…"
"Keep your mind clear!" He declared
"No Kitty…" Her mother cried out
"Our little girl…"
Suddenly Kitty passed through the boulders that supposedly crushed her, she was unscratched as she sighed in relief to see her parents.
"Kitty…" Her mother said in relief, the Pryde family embraced each other. Then she said
"Everyone like grab onto me. I'll get us out."
The Professor watched as the rest of the building collapsed, it was few moments but Kitty and the rest of the group phased through the rubble into the clear. They were in front of Xavier, he smiled at the young brunette.
"You see Kitty your power is your gift." He said, "And you used it well."
Both parents placed each placed a hand on their daughter, "Well Mr. Xavier, I think it's quite clear that you want to help our daughter. So I'm trusting you with her…if that's alright with you Kitty."
She looked at her father, "I trust them…"
He smiled at her, then he said to Xavier, "Professor, I do believe we have some things to talk about."
He smiled at them, "Yes, we do…"
From afar Emma was fuming, she took out her cell phone and dialed a number, she began to walk away from the scene, "It's Frost, send in the Hellion's to Bayville, we have unfinished with that girl!"
