Rogue POV
I heard the gun shot and I didn t put the pieces together right away. One minute I m looking at my best friend and the next I hear screaming and feel Shadowcat falling in my arms. I finally understand what is going on and I see the car drive pass. Kitty was a victim to a drive by. I lay her down on the sidewalk and find the gun shot had hit her in the leg. Amy came outside and was by my side just as shocked as I was.
"We have to call a doctor!" Amy says.
I know it isn t going to work so I say, "There not going to help. Only one place can heal her."
Kitty is looking up at me and I know she is in pain. She looks at me pleading and I know what she needs me to do. I bend down and whisper, "Are you sure?"
She nods and I hesitate before kissing her on the forehead. I noticed Amy is in shock. I shouldn t be surprised. Ever since I came to the center I've let any part of my skin touch anyone else s skin. It didn t take me long before I got close with Shadowcat at all. I had told her my secret a year ago so she wouldn't feel bad that I wouldn't hold her hand without my gloves. I was happy that she got it and that she was the same. I always wondered if there was a way for me to touch her some day without my gloves.
I pull away from the brown haired girl and I noticed that she went limp. She would be out for a little while so her body wouldn't get sicker or weaker. I look over at Amy and say, "We need a favor."
She nods and gets her car. We had told her our plan if one of us got hurt. Shadowcat had informed me on everything I would need to know for when we got there. Amy helps me get Kitty in the back seat, and we headed for the open road. If Amy went the speed limit it would take about 20 hours to get to Bayville, but I know every well that she didn't plan to.
I got next to Kitty and lifted her leg with the bullet wound and sat on the edge of the back seat. She was still asleep and she would be like that for awhile. I took my 'incase I get hurt' pouch out of my backpack I was carrying around. I pulled out my ace band aid and tied off her leg right above the bullet wound. She groaned and I put my gloved hand to her head.
I heard Amy smile and I asked taking my hand away from Kitty's head, "What are you smiling about Amy?"
Amy said, "I've just never seen you this close to someone. I wonder what makes her different."
I shrugged and said, "She didn't push. She understood. She's ... her."
Amy speed up the car and I untied Shadowcat's leg every two minutes then tied it in after five minutes and repeated that for 16 hours. When Amy finally stopped I knew we were in the right place from Kitty's memories. I looked at the big building then looked at Kitty who was awake now.
She showed her student ID and the gates opened and I helped Kitty get out of the car. Amy waved then drove away heading back for Kentucky. I started to walk us up the driveway and I saw a woman at the steps of the mansion. Here we go I thought to myself.
