A/N: Set in the comicsverse, after Second Coming, whenever in the future Kitty becomes tangible again.


Kitty ran through the mansion hallways. "Peter! Peter!" Careening around another corner, she ran directly into him.

"Katya?"

She flung her arms around his neck. "Peter, I'm back! It worked! It finally worked! I'm not intangible anymore!"

He picked her up and spun her around. "That is wonderful, Kitty."

Her smile nearly split her face in half. "I know! Have you seen Kurt? I have to tell him the great news too."

Piotr suddenly lost his smile. "Didn't Emma tell you?"

Kitty paused in confusion. "Tell me what?"

"Katya…"

"What?" She persisted.

"Kurt…he is gone."

"Gone? Fuzzy Elf? But he would never leave. This is his home." She looked up at him nervously. "Where did he go?"

"Kitty, I am sorry. But he, he was killed. Protecting Rogue and Hope."

She froze. "Dead?"

Piotr was silent.

"But he…he would…he couldn't…"

"I am sorry." He repeated, putting a comforting arm around her shoulders. She snapped out of her trance and jerked away from him.

"NO!" She screamed. "There is absolutely no way! You're lying!" Tears streamed down her face. Turning back the way she had come, she fled.
