I DON'T OWN ANYTHING, BUT KAT!

A teenaged girl ran through the park. Her black combat boots had twigs snapping under her weight. She stopped running as she started to climb a tree. When she thought she was high enough she kneeled on a branch.

I picked the worst day to wear a skirt. She thought to herself. Five people stopped below her.

"Hurry up mates, I saw her go this way." A male Australian voice said.

"Den shouldn't we go da opposite way?" A Cajun voice questioned.

"I don't care how you do it, just find her!" An older more commanding voice yelled. He flew above the males. The teen looked down at the people. Even though it was completely dark the teen could see them clear as day. Suddenly one of them stopped looking around; to her it looked like he was sniffing the air.

"What's the matter Sabertooth?" The male with the Australian accent asked.

"She stopped running." A man growled. He then looked up directly at her. "She's in the tree." The girl growled as she jumped down kicking the Australian and the Cajun. She then turned into a jaguar and started running from them.

"The girl is mine!" Sabertooth said running after her. As soon as the girl reached the park entrance she turned back into her human form. She heard a twig snap far behind her and started running.

With the X-Men

A loud siren started going off. The senior X-Men jumped out of bed, going down to Professor Xaiver's study.

"What's going on Professor?" Scott asked the man in the wheel chair.

"Cerebro has detected a new mutant. It seems that she is being chased, but the Acolytes. Which means that Magneto is after her. Why I don't know. Your mission is to find her and bring her here." He told them.

"Don't worry we'll find her." Jean announced. The X-Men nodded leaving the room.

"Logan, I want you to go with them. When I checked the girl was being pursued by Sabertooth." Charles told him. Logan nodded as he exited the room.

The girl ran the streets until she came across an abandoned warehouse. She found a broken window and snuck inside. The sun was starting to rise, through the broken windows. She started to look around for a hiding spot, her only choices where crates. She ran towards the back and hid behind the largest crate she could find.

Her black and blue hair went in a tangled mess to her shoulders. Her black shirt was practically in rags. Her black skirt went to about mid-thigh had holes in it. Smudges of dirt were all over her combat boots. Her dark green cat eyes looked over the crate to spot intruders. Her light brown hands had claws on each finger. She gave a sigh of relief when she didn't spot anyone else in the warehouse.

That's when she heard footsteps outside the warehouse. The girl stood up just as the doors were blasted open. She flew back into a crate and fell onto her stomach.

"Nice job Gambit." The Australian said. He then looked down at her. "I think you hurt her mate."

The girl stood up and smirked showing fangs. "It'll take more than that to keep me down. But what the hell do you people want with me?" She demanded.

"We want ya on our team." Gambit said as he twirled his staff in front of him.

"Team, what team?" She questioned as she took a step back. Suddenly Sabertooth was blasted away, by an optic blast.

"You don't want to join that team." Jean said as the X-Men ran into the building. The X-Men and the Acolytes started to fight.

"Gambit keep an eye on our new arrival." Magneto told her. Gambit nodded and followed her.

The teen had just climbed out the window when she felt like she was being followed again. She turned around and punched at Gambit only to have him catch it. He then pulled her closer to him.

"Bonjour cherie, name's Gambit. What's your's?" He asked. The girl only growled at him as she tried punching with her left hand. Gambit caught it and pulled her so she was right up against his chest. "What's ya name?"

"Kat, now let go of me!" She demanded.

"Sorry, but no can do, cherie." Gambit replied. Kat growled at him once again before getting out of his hold. She then turned into a tiger and tackled Gambit to the ground. Gambit's staff flew out of his hand and out of reach.

"No fair." Gambit muttered when she put a clawed paw to his neck. Kat turned back to normal body, but her hands stayed clawed. She was now straddling the young Cajun. "Can't say I don't like da position."

"Tell me why you are after me?" She hissed.

"Alright, da boss wants ya on our team. Says ya powers will grow stronger and he'll help you to gain control." Gambit said.

"What's so different between you and that other team you are fighting?" Kat asked him. Gambit suddenly got out of her grip and flipped them over so he was now on top.

"Usually dis be where Gambit asks if ya want it rough, but dats not da case. Da X-Men fight for both mutant's and humans, mostly humans. While we, da Acolytes only focus on mutants." He told her. Gambit held her hands over her head. He smirked even more as he looked at their new position. "Now, are ya gonna come quiet or are ya gonna fight some more?"

Somehow Kat managed to kick Gambit off of her. "How's that for an answer?" Kat jumped back onto her feet and started to run from him. Gambit took out a card charging it and threw it in front of Kat. She was instantly thrown backwards from the explosion; she collided into Sabertooth. Just as she was about to run, he grabbed her arm and turned her around. Kat looked into his eyes and gasped.

"Let go of me, Dad!" She ordered. Gambit's jaw dropped when he heard her.

"Why the hell are you running away?" Sabertooth demanded. Kat heard a gasp behind her.

"Wow, you so don't want to like stay around here." A voice said. Kat felt herself being pulled through Sabertooth's hands and next to a small teenaged girl. "Like hey, I'm Shadowcat." She said they started to run. Kat glared at her and ran ahead of her. "Hey, come back. I'm here to like help you."

"I don't need your help!" Cat yelled. Suddenly a giant pole wrapped around Kat. It carried her into the air and face to face with Magneto.

"Stop running Katherine." Magneto told her. Kat glared at him as she turned into a fly and got away from him. She turned back to her normal body and fell the rest of the way to the ground.

Suddenly a red beam hit Kat and made her fly back into the building. "Scott what did you do?" Jean gasped.

"I,I thought she was Gambit." Scott said. Jean lifted Kat up with her mind and brought her to the jet.

"Acolytes retreat." Magneto told them.

"But we didn't get the girl." Pyro said.

"We'll get her later. She's not the kind of person to stay with those kind of people." Magneto said.

"How do you know that boss?" Pyro asked.

"Because this isn't the first time I've meet young Katherine." Magneto replied as he opened his silver orb. "Gambit, Sabertooth go and keep an eye on Ms. Katherine." The two of them walked away from the group.
