This is my take on the ongoing Kitty Crisis. I hope you enjoy it. I do not own these characters.
Professor Charles Xavier sat in his study at the institute that he had built into one of the world's foremost mutant havens. He and his students and instructors had worked very hard over the years to make it what it was. 'And now it is at risk.' He thought while he waited for the others to arrive for the important meeting.
At a knock on the door he started and then called, "Come in."
Five figures entered the room. Logan was the first and he had a look on his face that could make a strong man quail. Behind him came Ororo Munroe who was slightly disheveled. Hank McCoy followed her and Xavier had the distinct feeling that if it wasn't for his blue fur he would be white as a sheet. Finally in came Scott Summers who was being supported by Jean Grey, both looking as if they could burst into tears at any moment.
Some might wonder what could cause this much fear and consternation in these seasoned veterans of the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters. Was it an alien invasion? Or was Magneto up to his old tricks again? Or could it be the sentinels? The answer was no on all counts. It was something far more sinister.
"I am glad you are here. I assume by your various states that you have heard the news." Some of the group nodded others only shivered.
"Professor I thought that the problem was taken care of." Jean Grey stated.
Xavier paused before answering the unasked question. "I am afraid Jean that these problems are rarely resolved for long."
Hank decided to add his thought as well. "Something must be done Charles."
"What can we do Beast it out of our control?" Ororo said.
"Can't we go into hiding?" Scott questioned.
Logan nipped that idea in the bud. "We can't just run from it. That's the coward's way out."
Xavier who had been taking in the whole exchange cut in. "Logan is right. There is no running from this. We must face head on what is coming."
"But professor…" Scott started
"Scott," the professor began, "We must face the fact that the courts in their extreme wisdom have granted Kitty Pryde her learners permit back. May God have mercy on our souls."
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and keep reading. Read and Review. Longer Chapters ahead.
