Enough Is Enough
by Starsinger
Kitty's home and healed, and doesn't want to stick around. Wonder who'll go with her? Xakko, I'm borrowing your line from the lj site. Hope you don't mind. Amokitty, consider yourself the inspiration for this one. No, still don't own them.
Worst idea ever, Kitty mused silently, Didn't Scott learn anything from Genosha? The very idea of bringing all the mutants of the world to live in one place left her cold. You might as well paint a big "X" on the island and invite everyone to bomb the place. It had been weeks since CeCe had let her out of the containment unit. Peter had been wonderful, he'd only left her side when Logan forced him to go get some sleep, see his sister, go on a mission, eat, and other bodily functions.
Rachael came up from behind her, "Are you sure about this?"
The quiet question didn't startle her. "Scott is an ass. I don't mean about my rescue, I mean his absolute refusal to consider other options. I can't do this anymore, at least not here."
"Are you seriously thinking about taking Brand up on her job offer?" concern radiated from her friend.
Lockheed, the elephant in the room, he hadn't functioned well after she'd disappeared. Even Brand had noticed. He'd come in and let her vent her feelings at him, Dr. Reyes mentioned it was a good thing the room had been sound-proofed! The bond between Kitty and Lockheed had forced Brand to give him a "green card" though. The only way he was going to resolve his "home world issues" was if Kitty was along for the ride, and that meant another trip into space. She wasn't ready for that, not yet.
"I'm going home, to Chicago. Peter is coming with me. You can come too, if you want. Logan and Kurt are thinking about it. I'm just amazed that a major corporation would hire me."
Hearing the doubts in her friend's voice wrung Rachael's heart. She took Kitty's face between her hands, "YOU are BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED, and have a DROP DEAD GORGEOUS MAN wrapped around your little finger. Oh, you also have Peter and Logan around that finger too." Kitty lost it, laughter poured from her mouth.
A deep chuckle came from the doorway, "Well, if that had come from Kitty, I might be worried."
Rachael grinned, "Kurt should still be." She winked at both of them on the way out, "I'm coming with you!"
Peter walked over and put his arms around Kitty, they barely heard Rachael close the door behind her. "It's so good to hold you again, Katya." She moved closer, resting her cheek against his broad chest. She reveled at his touch. The one time she hadn't promised to return and it took months to do so. "Are you still offering Erik a chance to come with us?"
Kitty nodded, quietly beginning to unbutton his shirt, she stopped at the tattoo, ""Peter, dear, I know you missed me and all, but I think we need to see if Rachel can get that thing off telekinetically..."
Peter effectively ended the statement with a kiss. She sighed and opened her mouth. She felt his hands roaming over her body as she relaxed even more. Tomorrow would come, and they would leave, but for now, she would enjoy herself.
