She woke up when Lance and Kitty walked in kissing. When they fell on the bed Rogue spoke up.
"Hey ah don't need to see this." The two lovers jumped apart.
"Oh Rogue we didn't even look to see if anyone was in here" Lance said.
"Hey Rogue are you like feeling any better?" Kitty asked walking over to Rogue's side.
"Stay back! Ah'm not okay yet" Rogue yelled pulling back from Kitty.
"Oh, okay we'll see you later okay?" Rogue just nodded. Lance and Kitty left the room and headed for the infirmary. When they walked in Hank said Gambit was doing well.
"He's slowly recovering. He should be awake tomorrow and up walking around in no time. It's up to him" Beast finished. Then Kitty and Lance walked hand in hand to the rec room.
"Wanna play some pool?" Lance asked.
"Can we use our powers?" Kitty asked.
"But your powers are more defensive" Lance said. Kitty just smiled. She broke and the game began. Kitty sank the first ball but Lance started to shake things up.
When she hit the ball Lance focused his energy on the ball and he shook it off the table. Kitty glared at him and he just shrugged.
When he went to hit the ball Kitty focused her mind and energy on the ball he was going to hit. When Lance pulled back and hit the white ball it phased right through it and shot the other ball off the table. When he looked at Kitty she just smiled.
"You've been holding out on me" he said. When there was only one ball left Kitty went to hit it and sure enough Lance shook the table and she missed.
When he went to hit it she focused all her energy on it. She was getting weaker, she wasn't used to using this much power for a long time.
When the stick phased through the ball her eyes rolled back and she collapsed.
"Kitty? NO! Wake up!" Lance shook her slightly. He picked her up and ran up to Hank.
"Oh my. What happened?" he asked.
"We were playing pool and using our powers. She was using her new power and then she collapsed" Lance said quickly. He started rubbing her hand and arm.
"Please wake up Kitty" he whispered.
"Lance she's just tired and wore out she'll be fine. You should go, dinner is going to start soon" Hank said.
"No. I won't leave her again."
"Again?" Hank asked. Then he understood. When Lance and Kitty were broken up she went to fight against Apocalypse without him. He showed up when she was unconscious.
He thought it was his fault and he hasn't really left her side since. She is grateful for him being there. After a few hours Amara brought dinner up for Lance and cereal for Kitty.
"How is she?" Amara asked.
"I think she should be waking up soon" Lance said without looking up. "Kitty please wake up, I'm sorry I wasn't there before but I'm here now, and I love you." He leaned over and kissed her.
Then slowly she started waking up.
"Wow I can't believe that worked" Lance said.
"Hey there, I…I felt you" Kitty said as she touched her lips. Lance leaned in again and kissed her. "Lance, I love you too" Kitty said. "Can I go to my bed now?" she asked.
Lance picked her up and carried her to her bed. "Lance don't leave me, not tonight" Kitty pleaded. Lance just smiled and climbed in bed and held her.
