I woke up to the smell of bacon. Righty then.

I'm thinking I'm not in the alleyway any more.

I sat up in a squishy bed with way too many blankets and I felt like I was being smothered to death, everything ached and it took me a second to realise why- that weird prison place that was experimenting on mutants, the breakout, Rogue being able to phase and Kurt somehow teleporting us away. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and looked around, I was in a quaint little room which looked like a grandma had thrown up on it, everything was crochet, knitting needles sat on the chair with a half knitted jumper attached and on the wall was lots of china plates with various cute animals on it.

Personally it wasn't my style but I had bigger things to worry about, Kurt and Rogue for one thing, how I got here and where was here for another. I vaguely remember falling asleep next to the others and then… a fuzzy memory of being lifted? My head throbbed from the strain of remembering so I decided to focus on the other thing, I threw off the eight or so blankets weighing me down and got out of bed.

My legs had other ideas though, as soon as I put my feet down the leg that got kicked by the guard spasmed slightly so I fell onto my knees. Luckily that didn't hurt too much because there was a crochet blanket on the floor too.

I evened out my breath and focused on standing, outside the door I could hear voices so I turned myself intangible and stuck my head through the wall, scared of what I might see.

I wasn't expecting, however, to come face to face with Rogue who looked scared witless at my sudden appearance. I froze for a second before awkwardly fazing the rest of the way through the wall and saying "Hi." Slowly.

Rogue recovered within seconds and raised an eyebrow at me. 'Now ya know you could've used a door just fine Kitty." She gestured to the door about two feet from me and I didn't know how to respond.

This is short because I don't have much time, hopefully there'll be a longer update tomorrow :)

I wanted to thankyou guys for the reviews, they were really nice and they convinced me to update tonight rather than tomorrow, yes, this will probably end up being a Kurtty fic or at least have some elements of it later on so stay tuned :)

I don't own x-men- enjoy!


"Anyways, how are you feeling? You looked mighty bashed up when we were running for our lives." She crossed her arms and studied me critically, checking for injuries. I still couldn't place her accent, it sounded southern? I'd have to ask her later.

I composed myself before lying through my teeth "yeah, I feel fine, fit as a fiddle. Rogue where are we? Are you okay?"

She looked a bit tired but the physical wounds she had received from that inhumane place seemed to be healing. She narrowed her eyes at me slightly before replying.

"Yeah, I'm good, you've been out for about a day, we got picked up by these people- they live about a village over from the mutant prison place, they heard the fuss and saw us and wanted to help. There's a woman called Maggie and her husband Burt, they're real nice. Come down for breakfast, I'm sure they'll be pleased to see you're up.'

I wasn't sure how to take that, a part of me was overjoyed to finally find some nice people but the other part of me didn't quite trust this supposed turn of good luck, after the last week it seemed too good to be true.

I remembered Kurt's shivering, drugged body as he'd collapsed after porting and I was filled with an ice-cold sliver of fear, I hoped he was okay.

Rogue must've read my expression because her features softened and she said 'Kurt's stable, he's still not awake and the drug that witch gave him has affected him a lot, but I hope he'll be okay. There's not much we can do now, I think we should eat before we go see him, you must be hungry.'

I wanted to complain and say I wasn't hungry, to demand I see him but my stomach gave me away, it growled like feral tiger and I clutched it in annoyance looking apologetically at Rogue who's lip just twitched into a small smile before she grabbed my hand and started to drag me down the stairs saying. "Come on, time for food.'

Please review, it makes me update faster ^-^
