Lance and Kitty stood. Kitty stood up slowly as Lance moved in front of her. Sabre-tooth lunged at Lance, thankfully missing Kitty and Marcus. "Lance!" Kitty yelled, hoping and praying that he would be okay.
Lance was thrown into a rock. Although he wouldn't show it, he was terrified! Here he was trying to save his family. The odds were against him. After all, he had a broken leg and was up against someone even Wolverine had trouble with. Lance got up and fell back down. He was so weak and couldn't even stand up without being in pain. Sabre-tooth laughed at Lance, seeing the pain on his face. He slashed Lance's chest leaving four large gashes which bled freely.
Kitty watched with tears in her eyes, unsure of what to do. She wanted to help Lance so badly, but she couldn't leave Marcus. Magneto was after him and Jacob was there. He would grab Marcus the second he was left alone. And Kitty could not and would not let that happen.
Lance was laying there and he wasn't moving. Sabre-tooth leaned down to sniff him and see if he was still alive or if he had killed the stupid kid. He leaned down to sniff Lance when suddenly everything went black.
Lance had a large rock in his hand and knocked Sabre-tooth out as soon as he got close enough. He knew that he had to get Kitty and Marcus out of there before Sabre-tooth woke up. He walked over to where Kitty was standing and leaned down to grab his crutch. Jacob walked forward snickering.
"Where do you think you two are going with that baby?", Jacob asked. "Daddy is in no condition to fight," he laughed evilly. Kitty handed Marcus to Lance and lunged at Jacob, kicking him in the lower chest. He landed hard on his back, shocked by what had happened and how fast it happened. Kitty went back to grab Lance's crutch. Jacob managed to jump back on his feet and grabbed a nearby branch.
Kitty charged at him with the crutch. He dodged it and proceeded to knock her off her feet. She jumped and did a back flip. Jacob laughed and thrust the stick in the direction of her face. She blocked his advances with the crutch and started to circle him. They circled each other like predators until Jacob lunged at her. She knocked him down, but he didn't get up. She was so ready for this to be over that she forgot to check to see if Jacob was really unconscious. Before Lance could warn her, Jacob had knocked Kitty in the back of her head.
Jacob laughed evilly and took a step towards Lance. Marcus, who sensed the tension in the air (and who was hungry) began to cry. Lance tried to calm him down but it was no use. Kitty's motherly instincts kicked in and she awoke to her baby's cries. She got up slowly to be as stealthy as possible. She used her ability to sink into the earth. Kitty got right behind Jacob and grabbed his leg, making him buried up to his shoulders. She proceeded to bury Sabre-tooth up to his jaw.
When she was done, she walked over to Jacob. "You messed with the X-men, you messed with my boyfriend, you messed with my baby and you messed with me. You're not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed now are you?", she smirked. She slapped his face with every bit of strength she had. Lance was proud of her strength. He had even flinched when he heard the slap. "Can't keep your hands off me can you?", Jacob teased. "You are lucky Lance is here. The things I would do to you, if I had the chance", Jacob said evilly. That was all it took for Lance to use Jacob as his own punching bag. He beat him to a bloody pulp. Kitty tried to stop him but Lance didn't stop until he couldn't even recognize the guy.
Lance and Kitty got all their stuff and packed it into the van. They would tell Wolverine and the others as soon as they could get cell phone reception. Once Marcus was safely secured, they drove home. It was a long drive but perfect. They had some time to talk without any distractions. Kitty was just happy to have Marcus back. She rode next to him rather than in the front. Whenever they stopped to use the bathroom or eat, they would switch so Lance could be with his son as well. Finally, they were complete again.
