Hey It's Loony writing X-men!!! She certainly doesn't own X-Men: The Movie otherwise Pyro wouldn't have turned traitor. She also doesn't own Marvel, because if she did, Aero never would have lost her powers.


"John, please don't do this…" He laughed as I dodged a fireball, nearly getting killed. "Please!"

"I go by Pyro now. You think I care about you? About them?" He said gesturing towards all of the dead soldiers, & the few dead mutants. Another laugh, this time more strained, as a flame blew up a car, and I phased through the wreckage and the floor. I came up next to him & phased my hand into is chest. I could feel his heart beat in my hands. "You would never do it. You're just like Bobby, weak. But me, I have no qualms with killing." As a flame rose out of the wreckage & wrapped around me, he chuckled, "None at all.

I couldn't escape without ripping his heart out. The flames pressed against me, setting me on fire, "John please…" I saw something like regret or fear flash through his eyes before the pain set in & all I could see was fire. "JOHN!!!!!!!!!" I shouted, falling.


I really was falling, and suddenly I was in the kitchen, in John's arms. I screamed & phased through his arms, landing in a fighting stance. He frowned, "Whoa, Kitty, what's wrong?" His voice was back to normal, not the cold, heartless voice from the dream. I relaxed my stance, but didn't let my guard down.

"Nightmare."

His expression cleared, "Oh that makes sense. When you first got your powers, you fell through your bedroom floor, remember?"

"I certainly hope I remember. They're my powers, aren't they?" He chuckled, his usual, pardon the pun, warm guffaw. I noticed how, even though he was talking, he was subconsciously flicking his lighter. I shivered, and he mistook it for me being cold, and guided a flame to encircle me. I yelped and phased through.

"Kitty, you've never had a problem with my fire before. Have you turned into Bobby?" I gulped; it was just like what he'd said in the dream. You're just like Bobby, weak.

"Just my nightmare getting to me." That was exactly what it was. I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts.

"Exactly what was your nightmare about?"

"Well, uh, you were, uh… evil."

"I was?" His voice sounded strange, it was like he wasn't surprised. "How evil?"

"You tried to kill me."

"Kitty, you know I would never do that. You're like my little sister." His voice still had that same tone as before, as though he doubted what he was saying. I looked at him and started crying, what if he really was evil? What would I do? He reached over and pulled me into his arms. "Oh Kitty, don't cry, I promise I'll never try to hurt you." I stopped crying. He sounded so sincere. His face got an evil look. "Bobby, though, I can't guarantee you, he could use a good kick in the-"

"John!" I said laughingly, it was good to see him laughing & bantering. "You're supposed to be his friend."

"And I am! I just think he's a little stiff sometimes, you can't deny that!" I was laughing too hard to answer, so he took that as denial and said. "Oh right, you've got a thing for him, don't you?"

"I do not! I just said that Rogue has good taste once like 6 months ago, and you automatically thought I liked him," I remarked indignantly.

"Okay, okay, but you can't say he's hotter than me can you?"

I rolled my eyes, there's some trademark John arrogance for you. "Technically, no one can be hotter than you."

"Oh, now you have a thing for me do you?" He said smugly.

Once again twirled my eyes, "You know what I mean."

"Of course I do." Bobby walked in, and John shouted, "hey Bobby! Kitty thinks there's no one hotter than me!"

Bobby gave a wry grin and said, "somehow I doubt that's what she meant."

John winked at me & mouthed party pooper. "I beg to differ."

Bobby sighed and said, "You can control fire. You're burning up."

John looked surprised & said, "Man, Bobby, I didn't know you felt that way." This time we both rolled our eyes. There's just no convincing some people.


What'd you think? I might have messed up the characters a bit. For instance, I doubt Pyro jokes that much, but it's for the good of the story.
