Kitty's New Path

The Blob

Today has been a quiet day for me. I have just been in my room relaxing. I have read a book, watched TV, listened to music, and just did all the stuff I haven't had much time to do since I moved to the institute. School has been weird to say the least.

Lance goes to my school now and I was really hoping to leave that creep behind at my old school. At first I really thought he was stalking me. I wasn't trying to be conceited or anything, it's just weird that I moved here and like the next week he moved here too.

Things are more confusing than just Lance now though, because now that girl Rogue we tried to help, but really just scared away, goes to our school now too. There is, like, no way that is a coincidence. The Professor told us a bit about Mystique and I think she could be behind them being at our school.

I think it is her behind all this because Mr. Logan already verified she was there when we were trying to help Rogue. And if she managed to get to Rogue maybe she figured out that the Professor was coming to talk to me and followed him. Maybe she hoped to get to me, but when she noticed it wasn't likely I would join her, she went for Lance instead.

Or maybe she found out about Lance and was there to recruit him. When I met him he seemed pretty comfortable using his powers. Powers like his are bound to draw attention, especially with how much and how open he seemed to use them.

Lance has a powerful power, he already doesn't like the X-Men because of what happened at our old school, and he doesn't strike me as a rule follower. Joining Mystique would probably make sense to him. Plus he probably wants to be around other people with powers to maybe not feel alone and Mystique is offering him that in her own twisted way.

And Rogue well she is convinced, probably because of Mystique, that we are out to hurt her. So going with Mystique for protection and to understand her powers better would obviously make sense to her. Mystique made her feel like she had no other person to go to. So using her manipulation skills she has successfully tricked both of them into moving here to go to Bayville High with us and Toad a kid who also might be working with Mystique.

What I don't understand is why? Why would she want them in the same town and school as the X-Men? Mr. Logan says Mystique always has a plan and always has a reason for everything she does. I wish I knew her plan or could figure out her reason for having these people come to our school. Or why she might have recruited Toad from our school.

It doesn't make any sense to me at all. I feel like the Professor knows more than he tells us, but I can't know that for sure. Mr. Logan and Storm may know more than us too. We may be X-Men, but we are still treated like the teenagers we are.

Speaking of Mr. Logan, he and Jean are out scouting a new possible member of our institute family. I would have volunteered to go with them, but it was at, like, a monster truck rally and there is no way I was going there. It is way too loud and I don't care too much for monster trucks either.

The guy they are going to check on is supposed to be, like, super strong or something. I don't know what that has to do with a monster truck rally, but that's where he is. And apparently he is a part of the show. I feel for Jean the Professor calls upon her and Scott a lot to help out those of here and out there.

I check my phone to see what time it is and realize it is dinner time. I put my phone on my nightstand then step into my bathroom to wash my hands and then I head down to the dining room. When I get down there I see everyone, but Kurt and Scott are already seated. I make my way over to an empty seat. The seat is between Jean and Storm.

It looks like tonight we are having pizza which is awesome! As I put some pizza on my plate I ask Jean, "How did today go?"

She says, "Well we can verify that he is super strong. He stopped two monster trucks from driving in two different directions at the same time and then pulled them until they crashed into each other. When we went to talk to him someone was already there talking to him. I didn't get to see who though."
