A/N: This is a Kyro story, there are a lot of X-men fans who are a big fan of this pairing and written their own fictions and I just had to write one for myself

This first chapter has some things from Beyond Two Souls, a personal favorite game of mine starring the beautiful Ellen Page, the same actress who stared as Kitty Pryde in X-Men and figured it could go well into the first chapter. So Enjoy.

Chapter 1
"Showing Off"

"It is with our passions as it is with fire and water; they are good servants, but bad masters." ~Roger L'Estrange, Aesop's Fables, 1692

If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery-isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight. I've heard these words before, during my days at Xavier's School of gifted Youngsters. I was always a good writer and had a real good knack for poetry, but I wasn't the perfect student or person for that matter, I've killed innocents, destroyed everything in my path and I've suffered for it. I lost everything, I got sick, I was going to die. But then he came and gave me a second chance to make things right, that where it led me to right here.

In the Not to Distant Future, China

The Sentinels were closing in, Bobby and I held the last line of defense combining Fire and Ice but they were too strong for us. Bobby... My best friend, they got him. They started using my power against me, My own mutation betrayed me, for the first time in my life I got burned. I screamed in pain as the flames engulfed my entire body, the smell of my burning flesh made me nauseous but my insides were cooking up to the point where I couldn't throw up, the oxygen ignited in my lungs burning me from within. I looked at her still kneeling over Logan still placing him back in time a last chance to stop all this. She looked back at me tears in her eyes at the sight of my coming end, my hair she used to run her soft fingers through turned to ash, the skin on my mouth her glossy and sweetest lips used to touch, gone I felt myself turning to ash as the sentinel's continue using my power against me, She was the last thing I have ever saw, 'Kitty Pryde... My friend, my partner... My wife.'. This was the end.

Present Time
April 23rd...

Saint-John Allerdyce, rebel, poetic, bad boy. Obsessed with that lighter of his flicking the cap on and off hearing the sound of metal hitting metal, and flicks the flint igniting a beautiful sight to his eyes, a small flame, he puts his finger over it and the flame transfers to his finger tips just letting it dance away. Only to be ruined by Bobby Drake's cold breath blowing the flame out.

"Really?!" John whispered, annoyed with a huff.

"Stop, playing with your powers. We're at a birthday party." Bobby whispered back with a such bossy tone in his voice.

John merely shook his head looking around the room, much in total disgust. "Tch... Why are we here anyway? Homo sapiens... They don't appreciate us, why should we appreciate them?" He whispered with hatred of humans in his heart.

Bobby frowned remembering his best friend's troubled past with humans but bobby was always there to try to explain all were not bad, "John, Professor X told us to visit the town to meet kids our age other than the kids at the mansion. And they just happened to invite us here." But John just glared at him he pointed to the girls in the room, the way they dressed. Cleavage, too much slutty make up and strong senses of too much cheap perfume.

"God you're so naïve, those girls invited us her to get in our pants." Bobby's eyes widened but opened his mouth to object but John held his hand up. "Don't! Just wait you'll see." John smirked and just sat back tapping his foot, just waiting for that signal the girls were he said they were.

Bobby only rolled his eyes but then his face fell by sensing that maybe John was right, the girls did look 'slutty' and the smell of their perfume was just, 'Ughh" to strong, Bobby literally choked on it. John still played with his zippo lighter more making Bobby nervous by using the lighter's lid as a time clock for what the Girls are going to do to give them away.

*Click. Snap. Click. Snap.*

A few minuets go by and they can here the mom invite another guest in, "Hey Katharine! Come on in. Hey Kirsten, you coming? I've gotta go!" The mother called. Kristen got up from her chair still eyeing the hunky Cryomancer, his face turned bright red and just looked away, John chuckled seeing that look on his best friend's face, the Pyromaniac was loving Bobby's discomfort.

*Click. Snap. Click. Snap."

"Would you stop that!" Bobby snapped quietly. John only rose his eye brow, his Hazel eyes only screamed "Whats the matter Popsicle? Don't you want some Homo Sapien-" The Iceman only mentally slapped himself before John's voice in his head finished that sentence. John can clearly see he was really uncomfortable, which was golden for him...

"Hey, Katharine right? Some girls from my school and the least dorky guys we could find, are in the next room."

John nudged Bobby, "You're the dorky one."

"No way, you are." Bobby argued. The two go back and forth and yet another guy their age couldn't stop snickering.

John glared at the kid and narrowed his eyes, then got an idea... "Truce?" John asked Bobby.

"Truce." he replied shaking hands. John turned to the other kid.

"Congrats bro, you're the dorky one." John said patting him on the back. The other girls giggled.

"I'm off, darling. Look after your friends and don't do anything stupid, alright?" The mother said.

*Click. Snap. Click. Snap.*

The mother left and Kirsten and Katharine entered the room, John's eyes fell to Katharine who was the only girl there in a casual dress. Everyone else even the girls dressed in a cool attire... with Cleavage. But mostly Jeans, band t-shirts stuff like that.

John was puzzled by the new girl he leaned towards Bobby, "There's the innocent one." he whispered. John still clicked away his lighter ticking like a clock waiting for that moment.

*Click. Snap. Click. Snap.*

"Hey everyone, this is Katharine. She's in Unit 4 With my mom." Kirsten introduced. John's eyes shot back at the new girl, now interested.

"Unit four? Paranormal department?" One of the other guys asked.

"Ooh, what do you do? Bend Spoons talk to dead people, stuff like that?" The dorky one asked. Yeah, and Bobby thought John was an asshole.

Kathrine chewed her bottom lip, and nervously rubbing her arm, her cheeks were bright seeing a lot of cute boys in the room, she shook her head gently, "N..No." Katharine replied shyly.

*Click. Snap. Click. Snap.*

Kristen clapped her hands together, "Well okay, Party Time! I'll get the beer. Guys do the shutters, Girls, do the candles. And Katharine you can take care of the music. Lets. Get. Crazy!" Kirsten shouted with enthusiasm. As soon as John heard everything that girl just said he lit the lighter which in Bobby's mind just screamed, "KA-BOOM! IN YOUR FACE ICE DICK."

John slowly turned to Bobby with the 'I told you so' smirk on his face. Bobby rolled his eyes and just walked out totally uncomfortable with the fact of a possible orgy which John simply put it.

One of Kristen's friends frowned "Hey where is he going?" She asked disappointed. John only shrugged while screaming "HOMO!" in his head hoping he was at least clairvoyant for a moment. The Stereo began playing Dave James' Beautiful Body and the mini disco ball illuminated the living room as the shutters closed blocking out the sunlight. Kirsten came back with a small case of beer. John kept looking at the new girl, her face was flawless and he was mentally slapping himself for even feeling an attraction to her. His eyes scanned every part of her, biting is thumb nail. "She could have done better besides that dress..." He thought...

"I had this under my bed for a week. My mom doesn't even go into my room anymore she's totally oblivious..." Kristen chuckled handing everyone a can. John felt the warm can in his hands and grunted, "If only Popsicle was here, he'd cool my beverage."

"Hey Kat, you want one?" Kirsten asked holding out a can,

Katharine stood up straight. "Yeah... sure."

"Figures... She's trying to fit in." John thought. His face fell upon not enjoying the beer, it was just too warm to drink. Kathrine however raised her can up to her lips and tasted the strong brew of the alcohol. She coughed from her first time.

"Hey, don't choke on it." Kirsten scoffed.

"Bet it's her first time." Another girl scoffed.

"No... I had some before."

"Yeah of course you have." The dorky guy mocked. Everyone finished their first can and got up to do other party stuff but Katharine decided to open another can and down the thing. John stood there on the other side of the room. "Impressive." But then again she began wobbling, and decided to sit down. John saw the other guys rolling joints,

"Hey man, you got a light?" The dorky one asked. Holding his joint up to his mouth. John took out his precious zippo lighter and opened the cap and flicked the flint to spawn a flame, but John put a cigarette in his mouth and lit it and pocketed the lighter. He inhaled the sweet tasting and yet cancerous vapor

"Yeah I do." John said blowing the cloud of smoke into the kid's face and walked away.

Katharine just sat there alone while everyone else was having a good time wondering why she was there to begin with, she didn't fit in with these people, and nw she went to far with two cans of beer to fit in. Instead she's left with taste of the cheap alcohol polluting her taste buds and the smell of the other girl's over used perfume. John took a long drag of his cigarette just watching her and ignoring the negatives... that being the desperate virgins that try to get his attention. Instead he put out the cigarette, and sat next to Katharine.

"What am I doing?" He thought, but he shook it off. "Hi. I'm John. Katharine right?" He asked. Kitty's face turned red seeing a seemingly handsome boy sit next her, she nervously tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear, she turned to smile at him nervously. "So Unit 4, where do you go to school?"

"I'm in a different program, with my own teacher... It's.. Kinda boring." She chuckled. John can see she was so nervous, he tried to shut the feeling out that Katharine was attractive to him, he was rooting for Kristen but Katharine the 'innocent' one got to him. John after all tried to be the rebel with everyone including his teachers at the X mansion.

"I never get to see people my age... I suppose I've gotten used to it..." She added.

"So you work with Kirsten's mother?"

"Yeah, we work in the same lab. She thought it would be a good idea for me to come and spend time with people my age, so... Here I am..." She chuckled again.

"I get that... I use to live in Sydney before I moved here 11 years ago, Me and Bobby, the one who left. We both go to a special school, most of us would be stuck there over the weekends. Our teachers said it would be best to come out and make new friends in the town. And you? Where did you live before?" John explained.

"I was born in Illinois, I lived there since I was seven, then we moved here to New York." She was actually starting to enjoy his company and seemed to relax a bit,

"You have any hobbies? Anything you do for like fun?" John asked who was too, intrigued.

"It's gonna sound really boring, but I like to read, I'm good with computers, Ice skating and... dancing." She smiled.

"Oh, man what if she asks me to dance? Fat chance." John thought, But that Smile... "Can I ask you something, Why are you in unit 4?" quickly changing the subject with the question that bothered him.

Katharine's face immediately fell and she hung her head low "I... rather not talk about it." She said frowning. John began to wonder if she could be a mutant like Bobby and him.

A slow song began to play, a thought entered his head and John rolled his eyes at the thought. "It. Ain't. Happening."

"You.. Up for a dance?" John subconsciously speak out, "Damn it...". Katharine, turned to him she smiled again which made John strangely feel better about asking her.

"Sure." she replied. John and Katharine stood in the dancing area, Katharine wrapped her hands around Johns neck while John placed his hands on her waist and the two began moving slowly to the rhythm of the song, End of the Line by Gareth Johnson. John couldn't hold back the thoughts anymore, she was just so beautiful, her chocolate brown hair and matching eyes really brought out her looks.

"I'm sure you here this all the time, but... Tell you the truth I never said this much to all the other girls before. You're really pretty, you know?"

Katharine blushed, but she never did hear those words from another boy before especially from a guy who doesn't look the part of being nice, the feeling was mutual for his spiked blonde hair and hazel eyes. Dressed rather more rebellious then all the others. "You're not so bad looking yourself." she smiled.

"I know you said that you don't want to talk about it, but.. I can tell your not like other girls, there's... something special about you." John muttered just lost in her heart warming smile

"I guess you could say that." she said. John pulled her in closer, Katharine rested her head on his shoulder. The dance continued for a moment, John can smell the strawberry scented shampoo on her hair, Katharine can smell John's faint Lucky You Cologne mixed with ciggarete smoke but she didn't mind, anything was better than the other girl's mustard gas the two have breathed in. Katharine pulled back and John stared into her eyes, she returned his gaze and with the smell of each other's intoxicating hygiene they closed the gap between them and kissed. Katharine immediately kissed back, the kiss was long and sweet and ignored the taste of beer and nicotine Kathrine's cherry lip balm made up for it. The two pulled back for air they both smiled at each other as the song ended. John looked up to see Bobby standing at the doorway motioning to come to him.

John grumbled, but looked down at her,"I'll be right back Katharine." John said.

"Kitty..." She said suddenly, "Call me kitty."

"Then I'll be right back, kitty." he smiled.

Bobby led John outside. John leaned against his dirt bike.

"Your missing a great party, Popsicle." John said.

"Since when did you dance with the 'innocent' ones?" Bobby countered.

"Shut up..." Sounding defeated.

"Or better yet kiss them."

"I said shut up Iceman!" John growled said holding a fire-ball in his hand. Bobby narrowed his eyes, he wasn't intimidated and his hand became solid ice.

"Bring it on Pyro.." Bobby challenged. But they both smiled and gripped each other's hands the two elements sizzled in a bond of friendship.

"I don't think I can take that smell anymore..." John spoke drinking in all the fresh air,

Bobby agreed by smelling John's jacket, "Yeah... Lets just go home." Bobby got on his bike and grabbed his helmet, before John was obligated to agree on that he remembered something,

"Hold up, I forgot something..." John said walking back towards the house,

Bobby snickered, "Awww... the hotheads got a girlfriend." he teased. John only gave him the finger while opening the front door,

John suddenly jumped to see Kitty crawling through the stair closet door, literally. She crawled right through like a ghost,

"Whoa..." John gasped, his eyes widened. Kitty looked up at John with tears going down her face, he rushed over to help her up.

"You're a mutant?" he asked, she looked away, afraid. John lifted her chin towards him. "What happened?" She began to sob harder and fell into his arms,

"Th...They.." She stuttered between the sobs, burying her face into John's chest, hurt. John led the brunette outside

"Stay here..." John said with iron in his voice.

"John, Don't." Bobby argued.

"Relax. I'm just gonna talk to them." John winked, cracking his knuckles.

John entered the living room, closing the doors shut behind him.

"Oh hey John, that girl she's a fucking mutie." Kirsten said.

Satan flashed across his face, "So." John scoffed.

"So? She's a freak... a mistake upon humanity."

Something flipped in John's head and violently tipped over the coffee table. "WE ARE NOT A MISTAKE!" John roared. He held out his hands and the flames from the candles in the room flowed onto his fingertips forming spheres of fire in both of his palms , John began using his Pyrokinesis to set the entire room ablaze. The others screamed in absolute terror as smoke filled the entire house and intense heat burned around them, they fled the house for dear life. John casually walked out of the house that was engulfed in flames. Bobby glared at John in disapproval, Kitty was speechless and shocked seeing that John's two arms were still coated in flames. He Shrugged his shoulders and the flames died out leaving his clothing unharmed.

"Your turn Iceman." John said mounting his bike. Bobby sighed and shot ice blasts from his hands, the entire house was put out. John turned to Kitty,

"You think you were the only one, there are more of us then you think." John said, giving Kitty a helmet. "C'mon, I'll take you home."

She hesitated but she accepted the helmet and she put in on, she mounted the bike holding onto John tightly. The three ride off away from the charred house. After the short ride they arrived at her house, Kitty slowly dismounted the bike and took off the helmet, she looked at the Pyromaniac with small hint of fear towards him,

"What they did, because of what you are is no excuse. Bobby and I we are a lot like you, we both woke up one day with this power..." John explained to the the young and frightened Kitty Pryde Bobby nodded in agreement. The fire manipulator leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, she gasped a little and suddenly her fears were washed away and replaced with comfort. John began putting his helmet on,

"Wait..." She spoke, John looked into her eyes again, "Will I ever see you again?" She asked.

John frowned, "It depends..."

Kitty's face fell but John lifted her chin and cupped her cheek, "Don't be afraid..." With that he put his helmet on and started his bike, he glanced at the girl one last time seeing some tears falling down her face and rode off with Bobby right behind him. Kitty after that never felt afraid again, all she did was remember her first dance and kiss. For the first time in her life she felt good about herself, there were people like her and John Allerdyce was one of them she only wished that she would see him again. John hoped so too but it was yet unknown at that point... So much for not showing off.
