After Many Dates Danny and Kitty
Katie crawled around on the floor looking for her 'prey'
"Hmm I wonder where oh where they could be" Katie said hearing a giggle Katie pretended for a bit longer that she didn't see the small feet sticking out from behind the curtain Katie tiptoed over to the curtain reaching pulling them back
"I gotcha" she called out
Hope and Azari jumped a little before they started to giggle she grabbed the two little babies picking them up the giggles got even louder "oh you two are such good hiders" Katie told them "and you're so cute"
Katie fell back against the floor the two babies crawling on top of her Katie was happy to watch Azari and Hope while their moms were in DC with the Professor and Scott was running diagnostics on the Black Bird with Hank
"Your really good with them" Bobby said Katie looked away from the laughing babies on top of her towards Bobby standing in the doorway
Katie carefully stood up balancing the babies on her hips
"Yeah well they're real easy" Katie said "not to mention adorable"
Bobby smiled at her
Katie was not sure what to think for a little bit Katie had thought that Bobby had a thing for her back at Ororo's wedding but not too long after Bobby had started going out with Amara then there was that girl who could make illusions Danielle Moonstar
After that was Molly Stanwick the green girl with tentacles growing out of her back who was now dating Kurt
Katie was sure that Bobby had dated half of the girls in their class by now
'There's no way he'd like me' she thought 'the only guy I've ever had a chance with was Danny' she thought Danny was the only guy who'd even give her a chance "did you need something Bobby" she asked
Bobby nodded "just wanted to tell you my squad's going out on patrol"
Katie nodded after they'd been outed for what they did during the Disasteroid the X-Men would go out on patrol in the neighborhoods around the institute most New Yorkers didn't even blink at the appearance of new heroes on the street even when Katies squad had helped Spiderman fight the Vulture and his own Sinister 6
For some reason her roommate always found a way to meet up with Spiderman when their squad went out on patrol
"Good luck" Katie said "stay safe out there"
"Don't worry about me Katie" Bobby said with a cool grin that made all the girls swoon well all the girls except Kitty Sooraya any girl in a relationship and Katie
There was only one guy for Katie
It's just too bad he wouldn't give her the time of day
"Logan's nearby if you get tired of watching the rugrats there" Bobby said
Katie giggled at the idea of Logan babysitting
"I think I can manage till Scott gets back" Katie told Bobby
"Good point see ya when I get back" Bobby smiled before walking off
Katie watched him go before turning back to the babies Katie smiled picking up Hope bouncing the little girl getting her to giggle Azari slapped her ankle with his little baby hand
Katie looked down at the baby "I didn't forget about you your highness" Katie picked up Azari bouncing him too
Danny looks down at the test in his hand a A written in the corner Danny smiles things had really turned around for him at school sure he wasn't a straight A student like Jazz had been but at least he didn't have to worry about hiding his secret identity anymore Tucker elbowed him getting Danny's attention
"Dude congrats" Tucker said "guess helping Lancer with his blackmail problem really paid off"
Danny shook his head "it's not like that Tuck" Danny told his best friend before heading to his locker to get his English book "so are we heading out on patrol" Tucker asked
Before Danny could answer something weird happened even for him
A nearby locker was shaking and that got their attention.
"Dude what's going on" Tucker asked thinking it was the Box Ghost or something
"Weird I don't sense any ghosts" Danny said, wondering what is up
Suddenly out of nowhere, the locker opened up SUCKING Danny inside the locker closing behind him
Danny was soon gone and Tucker just looked confused
"Uh what just happened" He asked out loud before he realized "Danny" he shouted opening the locker
No one answered
"Oh man not again" Tucker said calling Sam Valerie and Dani they should still be in the building
They could figure out what happened to his best friend
"WHOA" Danny yelled as he found himself going through some strange slide contraption before landing on the floor
Painfully
Danny pulls himself to his feet looking around he was in a high tech
"Very funny Tony" Danny called because who else but Tony Stark would do something like this
Who else but Tony Stark had the money to spend on a prank like this
"This is payback for painting your armor pink right" Danny asked "nice job how'd you hook up the trap door without me noticing"
"I can assure you Mr. Fenton" an old British man said Danny frowned this guy looked familiar but Danny couldn't remember where he saw this guy "I am not Tony Stark and this is not a prank"
Stepping out behind the guy was a trio of VERY familiar college age girls in colorful catsuits
"Alex" Danny exclaimed remembering the girl from his second blind date
The girl that he wasn't supposed to know was a spy
The blonde girl in the red catsuit elbowed Alex "I told you we got out too easily" she told an embarrassed Alex
"How was I supposed to know my blind date was a superhero" Alex tried defending herself before her eyes widened
"Uh Danny you didn't-"
"I never talked about you being spies" Danny promised "it's your secret identity" Alex let out a sigh of relief
"That's a relief" she said "so uh how have you been"
"Good" Danny said "how about you"
"Oh you know graduation college saving the world met a nice guy" Alex wiggled the fingers on her left hand there was a bulge under her glove on her ring finger
Danny smiled "congratulations Alex I hope you and this guy are very happy"
"Thanks I uh would have sent an invite but I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable you know going to an ex's wedding" she said "uh would you want to come"
Alex's blonde friend leaned in on Clover "more importantly do you have any single brothers or cousins"
"Clover" the red head spy scolded "that's not something you ask"
"Oh come on Sammy it's not like I'm not making a move on him"
"I'll be there just send me the details" Danny told her
Danny looked to Clover "sorry I only got the one brother and he's engaged" Clover pouted muttering something about all the hot guys being taken
"If we can get back on topic" the man said Danny had forgotten for a moment that he was there "now in an normal occurrence of one my agent's identity being discovered we would simply erase your memory of the incriminating information however due to your level three security clearance we can skip past that"
"Level three" the red head in green asked "Jerry I thought the Avengers only had level four clearance"
"In most cases yes" Jerry said "however Mr. Fenton's contribution to an allied organization in the past bumped him up a level"
'An allied organization' Danny thought wondering if Jerry meant the X-Men
Danny would have askd but he'd been around enough spies to know they never gave a straight answer
Before Danny could even think to ask the lights died down as Jerry pushed a button on his desk "now to the reason that you're here" behind Jerry a screen lit up with a mugshot of a blue skinned woman with red hair and yellow eyes
Danny had no idea who she was she wasn't a ghost and he wasn't Steve who knew every criminal by face alone or Tony who used Friday to fill him in
She looked unfamiliar to Danny honestly she kinda resembled Kurt
"Whose that " The ghost boy asked "and what does she have to do with me"
"Her name is Mystique she is a mutant criminal with a rap sheet longer then the river Thames" Jerry explained "including identity theft arson grand larceny and assassination" Jerry frowned "and those are just the crimes we can link to her"
"Mutant" Danny questioned wondering what she can do "what are her powers"
"She is a shapeshifter and has been the resident of Belle Reve for the past ten years" Jerry explained
Danny didn't get why he was her if she's been imprisoned since he was seven
"So, what's the story" Danny asked as he kept looking at the image of the infamous mutant
"We just got word that Mystique has somehow escaped" Jerry said
Danny looked surprised
"How" Danny asked
"Unclear" Jerry explained "due to the nature of her powers she was kept in a plexiglass cell with power dampeners under twenty four surveillance armed guards the only prisoner with more security is Cain Marko"
Danny got the idea having fought the Juggernaut that Mystique was pretty dangerous
"Any idea where she might have gone" The ghost boy asked "or why you'd go after me"
Jerry then showed images of a city grid Danny didn't know what city but he guessed it was where Mystique was
"At the moment intelligence believes that Mystique is holed up in New Orleans but we're not certain" Jerry explained "while we're hoping to apprehend her quickly you as an ally of the X-Men should be on high alert she's known for her antihuman beliefs"
Danny nodded "I'll be on the look out"
Jerry nodded "thank you Mr. Fenton and best of luck"
Jerry pushed a button on his desk a trap door opened under Danny dropping him down
Kitty threw her leg out kicking Random in the face she hadn't seen the mutant mercenary since her third date with Danny where he'd been hired to kidnap his parents Random recovered quickly the skin on his face turning to metal his hands turning to blades "your going to pay for that" he he slashing right through Kitty
'Thank you intangibility' Kitty thought sinking into the ground she grabbed Random by his ankles pulling him into the ground up to his shoulders Kitty slid out of the ground Random tried to escape "you think this can hold me" he shouted as he began to break free
Only for Bobby to freeze him in a block of ice Kitty smiled "thanks Bobby" she said
Bobby nodded "no problem" rubbing his head Random had tossed him and Rogue into a dumpster when the fight had started Peter was talking to the police returning the money he had stolen
How does a guy go from being a hired gun to robbing banks Kitty shrugged it's not like she could think like a criminal Kitty walked over to Random's trapped form pulling him out of the asphalt they'd leave him for the police
And the MRD Kitty felt disgusted thinking about those creeps even if all they did was take mutant criminals into custody there was something about them that freaked her out
"Is Rogue ok" Kitty asked Bobby Iceman just nodded
"A bit battered and bruised but fine" Bobby told her Kitty nodded seeing her best friend talking to Peter rubbing a sore spot on her head
Kitty was about to walk over to talk to Rogue check on her best friend when her phone buzzed Kitty pulled it out of her belt seeing a text from Danny
Urgent need to meet
Then there was an address Kitty replied saying she'd be there looking to Bobby "Danny texted said it's urgent" she explained Bobby looked at the text and nodded
"Sure boss we've got things handled" Bobby said but he wasn't looking at her no he was looking at a pair of girls walking down the sidewalk checking him out Kitty rolled her eyes karma was going to pay him back with a daughter she just knew it
"Pass the message on to Colossus and Rogue Iceman" Kitty said "I'll be back soon"
Kitty turned walking off behind her she heard Bobby flirt with those girls
Turning the corner she saw Danny and smiled walking towards her boyfriend when she started to feel funny Danny turned and smiled his beautiful blue eyes flashing yellow 'what's going on' Kitty thought
"Hello Pretty Kitty" 'Danny' said "did you have fun with my associate Random" Kitty tried to throw a punch at this Danny impostor before she passed out Kitty fell to the pavement Danny picked her up bridal style as her vision faded to black
'Danny where are you' Kitty thought
Danny landed in Central Park by a statue of an old timey superhero in a simple looking costume Danny read the inscription
Kit Walker
The Phantom
"You're not Phanty's dad are you Mr. Walker" Danny asked the statue jokingly he doubted it there was no way Phanty's dad was ever a superhero
Danny waited for a few more minutes before Kitty came wearing her X-Men uniform Danny didn't mean to interrupt her patrol he had just wanted to warn her about Mystique but she had said there was something she needed to tell him in person
"Hey" Danny greeted happy to see his girlfriend Kitty held up a hand keeping him at arms length
"It's over" she said
Danny blinked what did he just hear that right
"Kitty what do you mean" Danny asked
"It means i'm tired of ghosts of long distance relationships of you I'm just tired of it all" Kitty told him "Peter asked me to take him back and I told him yes"
She was leaving him for Peter no that couldn't be right the one mutant other then Shiro who couldn't stand him "you said you were done that you were just friends"
Kitty shrugged "we were" she said "but things changed" Danny frowned this couldn't be real it just couldn't
Mystique
This had to be her "prove you're really Kitty Pryde"
Kitty didn't even blink she took off her glove showing the class ring on her ring finger it was gold with a blue gem Danny remembered this ring it was the one he gave her for her seventeenth birthday she hasn't taken it off since Kitty took off the ring handing it to Danny looking down he saw the engraving To Kitty love Danny
"That proof enough for you" Kitty asked before walking off "look its clearly for the best if you can't recognize your own girlfriend"
Danny couldn't believe it he and Kitty broke up
Sure this had happened in the past but there was something different about this time something permanent Danny put the ring in his pocket he walked slowly through Central Park he didn't even have the energy to fly he didn't have the energy to even go ghost
Danny just kept staring at the ring in his hand tears falling from eyes he'd lost her he'd lost his perfect match how did this happen how did he lose her to Peter Rasputin
"How" Danny asked knowing he couldn't do anything Kitty had made her choice he would just have to accept it
Even if her choice tore his heart into pieces
Danny was so caught up in his thoughts bumped into someone by a fountain "sorry" Danny said before he continued walking
"Danny" a familiar voice asked Danny turned to see Katie Kaboom she smiled but that smile turned into a worried look "hey are you ok" she asked walking towards him like a kitten she didn't want to scare him
Danny hadn't been scared of Katie in years but there were times he still remembered the carnival "not really" was all he said putting Kittys ring in his pocket Katie frowned holding her hand out "come on" she said gently "you look like you could use some cheering up"
Danny looked at Katies hand and the gentle smile on her face "yeah" he said "I could use some cheering up right now"
Taking her hand letting Katie lead Danny back into the park
