Neb: After Gemini's defeat, all seems quiet for the week. However, Scott Summers was captured by Mystique who had escaped the military base that Cyclops trapped her in. She brings him to Mexico where she torments him before attempting to kill him. Jean then rescues Scott finally bringing the pair closer together for romantic involvement. I do not own X-Men Evolution.

Ricky was hiding around the corner of the lockers making sure the coast was clear. A great danger had come and he didn't want to have to deal with it. Kitty got her driving permit, and that meant she needed someone eighteen years or older to help her drive. Unfortunately for him, he was nineteen years old, so he was qualified to help her.

Ricky noticed Scott was hiding also and then grinned when he thought of a devious plan. He threw an apple at a locker near Scott causing Kitty's head to turn towards Scott. The boy booked it after that and Ricky chuckled. He turned around only to find Boom-Boom standing in front of him.

"Wanna go on another joy ride," she grinned. Ricky stared at her in disbelief.

"No, not really."

"Then you won't mind me calling Kitty overhear, will you?" Ricky gulped and weighed his options. Kitty was nice and outgoing, but she kind of screws up on everything new she tries... a lot. On the other hand, Tabatha was also dangerous, but a danger that he already knew.

"Fine, I'll go get my car."

"What kind?"

"A 1983 Cheep Tsalagi," he replied. (Parodied another car name in case I might get sued or something) "Something I found at a used car joint." The two of them headed off to the Vibrant new car and he ducked down as Kitty walked by.

"She's everywhere," Vibrant grunted. With her power to go through objects, it definitely is a lot easier for her to move around places. Yet when Vibrant phases through something, he always has to deal with consequences like his seizures or a nosebleed. Strangely enough, he hasn't had any problems with his seizures since they defeated Gemini. He kind of was happy about that. Maybe he can finally get a break and possibly not have to deal with any fights that push him too hard. When they got to his jeep, Boom Boom immediately jumped in the driver seat.

"No," Vibrant growled. "We aren't doing this again."

"Kitty's getting closer," she cued and Vibrant turned his head to see Kitty headed in their direction.

"You evil demon," he growled, slightly smiling and she laughed at him. Vibrant jumped in the car and they drove off. Kitty waved to them yelling wait, but they didn't slow down.

"Darn it," Kitty grumbled.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Later in the day back at the mansion Ricky, Scott, and Jean all stood in the Professor's office. "I have a very special assignment," the Professor explained. The three of them knew what he was obviously referring to Kitty's driver training and they all looked down defeated. "It'll be challenging, so I need someone with nerves of steel."

"Sounds dangerous," Wolverine spoke up entering the room.

"It very well could be," the Professor agreed.

"Then I'll do it," Wolverine decided and Ricky grinned after that. "I could use a good adrenaline rush." Scott and Jean then smiled.

"Ok," Scott spoke up.

"No complaints," Ricky agreed.

"But you owe us, Logan," Jean added in and the three of them backed out.

"Ok," Logan responded. "What needs doing? Any explosives involved?"

"Hopefully not," the Professor responded as he held out keys to the X Van.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Logan came back pissed after a drive with Kitty. Vibrant starred in fear at the former X Van now had stop signs and stuff sticking out of it.

"How did it go," Vibrant asked.

"I owe you guys alright," Logan snarled. "I owe Chuck one also." He walked off and Ricky tried hard not to laugh. He got in his car and drove off again. Tabatha told him that they were going to hang out at the skate competition and watch Spyke compete.

OOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Everyone was cheering as Even entered the Skatepark riding around everywhere. "This is a competition promoting Power eight?"

"I've never had any myself," Tabatha responded. "Sounds good though."

"Most things that sound good usually aren't," Vibrant grinned. "I'm not putting any sugar mixes like that in my diet."

"Loosen up Ricky," Tabatha chuckled. Ricky looked over at Spyke who was now arguing with one of the other players.

"What's going on," Ricky wondered as Spyke walked off angrily. He grabbed a Power8 and got on his skateboard before disappearing from view.

"Hope he's ok," Tabatha responded and Ricky nodded to that remark. That was before several huge spikes flew through the air. A few of them hit a sign causing it to collapse over the crowd. Luckily Storm and Ice Man were able to stop it. Ricky tackled a guy to the ground protecting him from a spike that almost got him.

"Terrifying," Vibrant responded as he stood up. He ran over to where Spyke ran off and grunted when he saw nobody there. Storm was looking around everywhere for her nephew.

"Where did he go," she grunted. Ricky saw traces of Power8 on the ground and moved his hand towards it before he was grabbed.

"Don't touch that stuff," a familiar female voice spoke up. He turned his head in fear as he saw Lady Vampress staring at him. She licked her fangs causing him to fall back in fear. "That stuff is poison to mutants, beware." She turned around and walked off and Ricky grunted after that.

"I'm nuts," he responded before chasing after her. "Wait a second." He was then thrown against a wall by her.

"Leave me be," she responded.

"Look, I'm sorry. But I am looking for my friend and I need your help." She stared at him and then shook her head.

"He's with better people now."

"So you know where Evan is," Vibrant grinned as he stood up. "Tell me where he is now." A fireball formed in his hand and she released her fangs.

"Don't even think about it boy. I am a Weapon X project made by Hydra. I have metal bones and I can heal fast."

"Yea and you can control people when you're in the shadows and transform when you drink blood. Given how normal you look, I suppose you haven't been drinking blood and we are in the sunlight, so you can't control me." She shook her head and then kicked him in the stomach causing him to collapse. She turned around in hopes of getting away, but he put her in stasis.

"Let me go!"

"Where is Evan?" She glared at him angrily and he just smiled.

"That smile, she loved it." He glared at her remembering who she was talking about. "My name is Trisha, I have no intention of holding that name Lilly gave me." Ricky stared at her and shook his head.

"She gave me mine also," he responded. "It's not bad, it's litteral. Your a Vampress and I smile alot." Ricky remembered the fact that he wasn't Lilly's only prisoner, Trisha was also. Lilly turned her into becoming a monster to further her agenda and then sold her to Hydra. "Did you ever see Seer after the jailbreak?"

"You mean from the Hydra base. He and Dragon wanted me to join their band of mutants who dedicate themselves to the world you will build. All because of Seer's prophecy. I say it's all bull."

"I agree," Ricky pointed out. "Look, I'll let you go if you tell me where my friend is. Please, his aunt is worried." She noticed he was different than when she last saw him.

"You're not a loner anymore," the vampress realized. "You've made actual friends." he dropped her out of stasis and she smiled at him. "Check the sewers."

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ricky was running down the sewers in hope of finding Evan, yet he couldn't sense him.

"What do you want," a white-haired girl with three scratches across her left eye asked. She looked to be thirteen years old, maybe less. He stared at her and then smiled.

"I'm looking for my friend," he spoke up stepping closer and she waved her hand at him causing him to float in the air. He instantly thought of Jean's power when he was floating and then realized it felt different. He wasn't floating like he was being lifted, instead, he felt light like a balloon. The girl turned around and ran away. "Wait!" Ricky grunted as he just sat there in midair floating. "Who was she?"

"I call her Ghost," an old man spoke up as he approached Ricky with the girl following behind him.

"Seer," Ricky responded and the blind man nodded. "What are you doing here, I'm trying to find my friend."

"The X-Men will find him," Seer assured. "You, however, have better things to worry about. I sense X-23 will run into you again. She is your downfall." Ricky stared at him confused.

"Why would she hurt me? We got along so well?"

"Not like that," he responded. "Ghost, Dragon, and I await your leadership as you become the leader of the New Brotherhood. You will replace Magneto and lead us to a world where humans won't hurt us Mutants any further."

"You mean like with Power8," Ricky responded and the white-haired girl shuttered.

"Precisely."

"Look, find a different guy. I'm not interested." He felt himself touch the ground and then he turned around seeing Dragon standing in front of him.

"Your friend will be found by the X-Men," Seer explained again. "Stop looking for him."

"Yea right," Ricky grinned. "As if I'm going turn my back on people who treat me like family. I'm even getting along with Jessica again." Seer turned to Ghost and then nodded. She walked over to him and tapped him causing him to fall to the ground and black out.

"Sorry friend," Seer smiled. "You can't help a man who doesn't want help. When your so called family finds you, they will already see Spyke's decision is to leave the X-Men forever."
