"The crime spree that has plagues Bayville the last few days has been attributed to Bayville High freshman Katherine Pryde, seen here in her latest daring getaway from the convenience store she robbed on skateboard this morning. Anyone who sees her is urged to call police immediately."
Kitty threw the remote at the TV in frustration. She couldn't believe this. Her name was being smeared all over Bayville. In the last three days, she had been seen robbing a convenience store, egging a police car, setting off smoke bombs in a mailbox, and stealing an old lady's groceries. Everyone at the institute knew it wasn't her - it was hard to pull off daring skateboard robberies when you had been laid up with a sprained ankle for the last three days, thanks to a spill in the Danger Room - but there was no reason for any non-mutant to suspect that there was anyone else behind it.
"I'm never going to be able to show my face at school again."
Rogue softly ran her gloved hand over Kitty's cheek. "It's okay, sugah. This'll blow over."
"Blow over? Everyone thinks I'm some kind of serial criminal! I can't believe Calvin's doing this! I mean, I know he was angry when I dumped him, but I never thought he'd go this far!"
Rogue felt her face flush with anger again. Cal Rankin was one of the Brotherhood's newest recruits, and had been causing trouble for them since day one. Kitty had been briefly involved with him, but dumped him when he tried to get her involved in one of his schemes. And now that she and Kitty were together, she'd be damned if this bastard was going to turn Kitty into the scourge of Bayville.
"Don't worry, Kit. I know exactly how to take care of this."
Rogue carefully planted a kiss on the top of Kitty's head, the hair providing them a protective buffer, and ran out the door with a wicked smile on her face.

"My name is Calvin Rankin. Over the last three days, I have been impersonating Katherine Pryde and committing crimes in her name, with my mutant abilities of shapeshifting."
The figure on the video shifted from Kitty to Calvin with ease.
"I apologize for all my actions, and for any pain I may have caused Miss Pryde."
The tape stopped playing. The news anchor began talking again. "So, in light of this tape, we urge all Bayville residents to keep an eye out for shapeshifter Calvin Rankin. Due to his abilities - "
Kitty turned off the TV and grinned at Rogue. "That was awesome! How did you get him to do it?"
"Well...let's just say that if it's fair game for him to impersonate you, it's fair game for me to impersonate him. The bad news is...now I've got some of his memories in my head, and man, I did not need to see his taste in porn."
Kitty smiled slyly. "Well, I've got a lot to thank you for." She leaned up and quickly gave Rogue a peck on the cheek before the feeling of faintness came over her and she collapsed on the pillow.
"Kitty! Are you crazy?"
"I'm fine. Just a little dizzy. Did it get him out of your head?"
"All I'm hearing now is your Ipod playlist. A definite improvement."
Rogue lay down on the bed next to Kitty. "Glad I was able to clear your name. Having more than one of you running around...a little wierd. And I like having you all to myself."
