Avalanche and Shadowcat
He loved her, but she made it clear she wanted nothing to do with him. He tried to prove his love so many times, she still didn't believe him. He was going to try one last time, he decided if that didn't work he would give up. He called her and said to meet him at the place where it all began. That night he waited for hours. She never came, no one did.
He went back to the ramshackle house where he lived with Todd, Freddy, Wanda, and Pietro. When Pietro heard him come in he raced to Lance. "How'd it go, why were you out all night?" Pietro said excitedly.
"She didn't come," Lance replied slowly while he dejectedly climbed the stairs to his room.
A day passed, two days, then three. Lance still hadn't come out of his room except for food and the bathroom. Pietro was getting worried, Lance was getting worse. Pietro had the room next to him and could hear Lance sobbing every night. On the fourth day Lance didn't come out al all. This was the last straw, he had to call Kitty. "I'm calling her Lance, you need to talk to her," Pietro called through Lance's door.
"No don't! She doesn't want to see my face again! Lance cried out.
"She says she's on her way," Pietro replied.
Kitty walked into the Brotherhood boarding house. "Where is he? She asked looking worriedly into Pietro's eyes.
"In his room, you go talk to him."
She walked to his door and knocked, "Lance it's me Kitty." No response. "I'm coming in Lance," she called phasing through the door into his room, "Oh my god, Lance! What did you do?" Kitty yelled as she kneeled down putting his head on her lap as she stared at his bloody wrists.
"You were my life and you didn't want me. Why should I go on living?" He asked.
"But I do Lance! I've always loved you I was just afraid that you would hurt me again," she sobbed rivers of tears running down her cheeks.
"Lance aloud a single tear to fall, "I love y-y-y…" Lance suddenly stopped, his chest no longer moving.
Kitty clung his body to hers, "No, no, no Lance, I need you! You can't leave me! I love you! "Please don't leave me!" she yelled.
Pietro suddenly ran into the room because of the yelling. "Oh my god no!" was all he could muster because of the ever growing lump in his throat.
"No, no, no! He can't be gone, he just can't! I never even got to…" she cried trailing off as another wave of sobs overcame her.
Pietro finally calmed her down a bit, "You have to go Kitty, you have to leave."
"Fine just one thing first," she mumbled back over to Lance, "Please wait for me," she whispered as she kissed his cold, lifeless lips one last time.
That night they found her dead, a note in her hand with only four words on it;
I love you too.
