Rogue sat on her bed, taking everything she saw in. She saw her friend, roommate, Kitty Pryde being wheeled into an ambulance, Logan and Storm were following her, Kurt told her everything was going to be okay. And she just went inside, and walked into her bedroom. She just didn't get it. Kitty was a healthy girl, she had no health issues. She was perfectly fine. But she didn't get it. She was mostly home alone, since the others stayed at the hospital, and didn't want to leave her side. But rogue didn't want to go. She didn't want to see Kitty like that. In a hospital bed, like she was dead. She then felt a gust of wind, open and close the door.

"Hello, Pietro." She said. (Again, can't do a Southern accent.) During the years of living with the Brotherhood, she always knew when Pietro was in the room. Pietro stood by the door, not moving, and looking down at the ground.

"Hi, Rogue." He replied. She stood up, in front of her bed, and crossed her arms.

"What are you doing here?" She asked him. Pietro kept his eyes on the floor.

"Well, I saw you weren't there at the hospital with Kitty, so I figured you might be here." He said. Rogue turned away from as he looked up at her.

"Yeah. So, what?" She asked.

"Well, Kitty's your roommate, right? I at least think you would like to see her." He explained. Rogue shook her head, getting the thought of Kitty hurt, or worse dead, out of her mind.

"I can't Pietro. I just can't. Seeing her like that, I feel... I don't know." She said, shrugging.

"Hurt? Sad? Like the only thing in the world you care about is gone? Like, it disappeared without a trace? Without a warning? Is that you feel?" He asked her, stepping forward. Rogue didn't know how, but that was exactly how she felt. She had no idea how Pietro understood what she was feeling.

"Yeah. How do you-"

"I've seen this before." He said cutting her off. Rogue stared at him, questionably. How did he understand? And what did he mean by his seen this before?

"What do you mean?" She asked. Without asking he sat down on her bed. She almost objected until she saw he had a sad look on his face.

"Nobody knows this. Except for Wanda. I had a cousin, named Ruth." He said, looking up at her. He watched her, as she sat down next to him.

"And? What about her?"

"She was a happy, cheerful girl. Like Kitty. After Wanda, was locked up, and father gave me away to some lady, She was probably the only family that didn't abandon me. I noticed she was changing, though. She wore all black, liked talking about death, and stopped smiling. People bullied her, because she didn't fit in. One day when she fell asleep on the couch, I saw scars on her arms, like something cut her. I asked her about it, she told me, she had trouble with a kitchen knife. She came home one day, with 'Freak' written on her forehead. She told me it was part of a funny prank. A few days later, she gave me her butterfly ring, she wore since she was five. The next day, I was told by the woman who took care of me, that she killed herself. By slitting her wrists." Pietro looked away, not wanting to say anything else. Rogue looked stunned, and put one of her gloved hands, on his shoulder.

"Pietro, I'm sorry." She said.

"Not your fault. You didn't cause her to kill herself." He said, as he turned towards her, while she removed her hand from his shoulder.

"Yeah, but I feel bad. And what does this have to do with Kitty?" She asked. Pietro looked away from her, afraid to tell her about her best friend.

"Because, Me and Wanda think Kitty committed Suicide." He told her. Rogue looked shocked. Kitty committed suicide? No. Kitty wouldn't do something like that.

"No. You're lying! Kitty wouldn't do something like that!" She shouted at him.

"Me and Wanda think she did. We think she's just like Ruth." He said calmly.

"Ruth slit her wrists! You don't know what Kitty did!" Pietro stayed calm.

"This is something Wanda doesn't know. After she died, her parents found a notebook under her bed. It said she once swallowed like, 4 or 5 sleeping pills, but she didn't die. The others pages were about how she couldn't take life, the whole world hated her, stuff like that. Storm told Wanda that Kitty was lying on the bathroom floor, with an empty bottle of sleeping pills." Pietro told her. Rogue looked like she wanted to cry. She turned her head as tears started to form in her eyes. Pietro tried to lean her forward to comfort her, but she shook her head.

"Sorry, Pietro. It's just my whole powers thing." She reminded him.

"Right. Sorry."

"You know, I feel like you're right. I walked by her when I was about to leave for a bonding day with Kurt. She had bruises on her face, and then she hugged me. She told me I was her best friend, and how she had no friends growing up. That's when we saw her being put in an ambulance." She said.

"Well, everyone in The Brotherhood, thinks it was a bunch of mutant haters." He said.

"Wouldn't be a shocker. I mean, Duncan once tried to kill all the mutants. Principal Kelly hates us. Everyone at school." Pietro grabbed her hand.

"Rogue, you need to see her. She's your friend. Maybe visiting her in the hospital will help her." He told her. Rogue nodded her head agreeing with him.

"Ok, Pietro. Oh hold on." She said as she ran towards Kitty's dresser, and grabbed two polaroid photos. Pietro stared at her, with a confused look.

"What are those?" He asked.

"Oh, just two of Kitty's favorite pictures. One with me and her. The other of her and Lance." She explained. Pietro nodded her head.

"Grab my waist." He said. She looked confused. He sighed.

"I'm going to use super-speed to go to the hospital, with you." He said. Rogue nodded her head. She did as he told her.

"Ok, little warning: You may feel a little queasy after." He said. Rogue almost objected, but before she could, they were already speeding off to the hospital.

When they reached the hospital, Pietro was right, as Rogue did start to feel queasy, but it got worse as she everyone was holding each other crying, while a few more doctors and nurses were running into her room with a defibrillator. Wanda saw her brother, and ran rushing towards him with tears falling down her face.

"Oh, Pietro!" She said as she hugged him and cried into his shirt. Pietro hugged back, while he and Rogue had confused looks. Rogue walked over to Lance, who had tears falling down his face as well, and had his hand around Toad's shoulder, who hugged his legs to his chest, with teas also falling down his face.

"Kitty's h-heart stopped. Th-they still don't have a pulse." He said. Rogue felt her heart was just burst into a million pieces was she too late? Did she just miss the chance to see her best friend? Rogue cried into her hands while Kurt walked over and comforted her. A doctor then came rushing Out.

"She's stabilized." He said smiling. Storm then smiled through her tears, and hugged Logan. Lance smiled and wiped away his tears. Toad smiled. Wanda let go of Pietro, and hugged herself smiling. Pietro put a hand on her shoulder, and smiled as well. Everyone was smiling, and happy knowing Kitty was still alive.

"Can we see her?" Storm asked the doctor. The doctor sadly shook his head.

"Unfortunately, not now. We're going to need to give her some time alone." He said. As the doctor walked away, Storm and some of the others started walking away.

"Where are you going?" Rogue asked them.

"We're going to stretch our legs. We'll be back." He said, walking away with Storm. Pietro then walked towards the door before Rogue stopped him.

"What're you doing?"

"I'm going to see Kitty. Just to make sure she's okay." He said. Ignoring her protest, he walked in. He stopped in his tracks when he saw a figure, standing beside Kitty's bed, stroking her cheek.

"Kitty..." The figure said. Pietro's eyes widen, as he recognized the voice.

"Daniels?"

Another cliff hanger! I'm back to working on this!
