Author's Note- This came from reading a story entitled "Holding Ground." I
read it several times and am currently awaiting the sequel. Anyhow, most
of the details will be explained in the introduction.
Second Note- Kitty already has Lockheed.
Third Note- This is going to be Kitty/Pete just a warning a head of time. There's also some Romy.

This world don't give you nothing it can't take away
Everybody holding onto something
Nobody wants to fade away

Have you ever seen those old B-Movies? The ones where the aliens win? Remember how the Earth looks? Cities decimated, towns destroyed, the people fleeing for their lives, living in caves and forests.? That is the world before us now.
I'll bet you're wondering, how'd it get like this? Nope, no aliens. Ever seen "Stephen King's: The Stand" well, something like that. See, a man names Trask had this bright idea to destroy the mutant "threat." He created the Legacy virus. Somewhere along the line he screwed up. Instead of killing the mutants it took out most of humanity. And as humans do they decided, 'well, hell I'm dying, let's take out those damn outsiders.'
War raged, war against minorities, mutants, each other. Complete civil war. By the time that the plague was over everything was destroyed. Thank God no one had figured out how to use the nuclear weapons.
By the time that things did settle down the remaining humans were hiding in caves. The mutants who had survived were scattered all over the world in camps. There were four in the US. Magneto's, Cyclops', Wolverine and Storm's, and Gambit's. Yes, the thief was leader of a camp, scary huh?
Our story begins outside of one of said camps. See, not everyone settled into a camp. After the death of their leader Charles Xavier most of the X- Men joined Cyclops' or Wolverine and Storm's camp. Kitty Pryde had found it too painful to stay with either of them. She spent some of her time in Gambit's camp with her best friend Rogue but soon grew lonely around the couple.
There were plenty of men who would have liked to take the beautiful seventeen year old in but she was too independent. Which is why this story occurs.
