Summery:Kitty has a new friend to talk to at night.
Title: IM conversations Disclaimer: I don't own any of the X men, just the DVDs a few comics and some trading cards…
Kitty's laptop gently hummed as she typed away on it late one Saturday night in the school's library. The quiet book horde was her sanctuary, hardly anyone ever used it anyways so why not her? Finishing up the last few details on a paper, Kitty clicked on her Instant Messaging system that she had helped set up at the school, it was completely unique just to the school, all the students and teachers had accounts and could add or block anyone they wanted, but before she even had time to see who was online, an instant message flashed on her screen.
Pyromaniac: Hey Kitten, what are you doing up so late?
Kitty-boo-bitty: Finishing up a paper in the library, what about you John?
Pyromaniac: Insomnia….. It bites.
Kitty-bo-bitty: lol, yeah.
Pyromaniac: soo, I heard you set this IM thing up, huh?
Kitty-bo-bitty: yeah, it has the entire student body from class grades 5th thru 12th, and the teachers have ones too.
Pyromaniac: cool… so what's with the name?
Kitty-bo-bitty: well….
Pyromaniac: ok Kitten, spill
Kitty-bo-bitty: My friend Lance from back home always called me that and I made the mistake of telling Jubes that, and so when I set mine up, I went away from the computer for a second and she made this my screen name…
Pyromaniac: Lance your boyfriend?
Kitty-bo-bitty: NO!
Pyromaniac: oh. That's cool, I guess.
Kitty-bo-bitty: Gee, thanks John.
Pyromaniac: Yup, you know I love teasing you Kitten.
Kitty-bo-bitty: hm...see this is why you
never should have left
Pyromaniac: really... like I didn't notice...
Pyromaniac: I already have myself enough for that...
Kitty-bo-bitty: sorry Pyro
Pyromaniac: don't be, it was my ignorance...
Kitty-bo-bitty: good thing I am intangible
Kitty-bo-bitty: Bobby wasn't going to let
me go back...
Pyromaniac: go back?
Kitty-bo-bitty: you would be dead...
Pyromaniac: right... sometimes I wish I were. just to forget
Magneto and his lies...
Kitty-bo-bitty: too many people had
already died...
Kitty-bo-bitty: we didn't need another
Pyromaniac: but I was your enemy... I deserved it
Kitty-bo-bitty: no one deserved what
happened at Alcatraz...
Pyromaniac: I know
Kitty-bo-bitty: but, your back
Pyro: yeah, I guess, but now I'm back to being the crazy Aussie with the lighter….
Kitty-bo-bitty: John, our
gifts don't make us who we are... We make us who we
are... We are who we want to be, question is, who do you
want to be?
Pyromaniac: I want to be normal. have REAL parents. people
who accept me, for who I really am. not the freak of nature
that burns down houses! I need a normal life!
I'm my own superhero: John, you do have a
family, right here, with all of us
Kitty-bo-bitty: no one is normal
Pyromaniac: half the school hates me, the ones who haven't
graduated or completely forgot I exist...
Kitty-bo-bitty: do know how I got my
powers?
Pyromaniac: how?
Kitty-bo-bitty: I was like 13, and I kept
having these terrible headaches
Kitty-bo-bitty: no one knew what was
wrong with me
Kitty-bo-bitty: one night, I had a bad
dream
Kitty-bo-bitty: I woke up in my
basement, my pillow and blanket hanging out of the ceiling
Pyromaniac: im sorry, I shouldn't be like this... but after Alcatraz,
its just been getting worse...tries to smile, im sorry
Kitty-bo-bitty: We all miss him John, it's
ok... The Professor, he made it all ok... I guess we all
just start to miss home...
Pyromaniac: I just need time to sort this all out... thanks Kitty, I
know its going to be ok...
Kitty-bo-bitty: I'm always here to talk
John
Pyromaniac: thanks
Kitty-bo-bitty: No problem John…..
Kitty smiled to herself, John was going to be ok, and so was she, with that, she clicked off her computer and went to bed.
The End
