Pete vs Pete
by Starsinger
We know the story, Peter came to Muir Island hoping to rekindle a relationship with Kitty only to find her in the arms of another Pete. Well, this isn't going to go that direction, Peter's still coming, Pete's just going to find out how many "big brothers" Kitty has. Well, okay, that's not including Logan. No, still don't own them.
The floor of the plane was cold, Pete noticed. His bare backside rested against it. Kitty's warm body snuggled up to him; his pants formed a pillow under his head. His arm stroked her bare back as he wondered how he managed to get this lucky. He kissed her forehead just as the proximity alert buttons started going off in the cockpit. She quickly got up and walked into the cockpit. He heard her voice as she spoke to someone. "We'd better get dressed," she called. We'll be landing in about fifteen minutes."
Pete grabbed his clothes, hopping around on one leg as he attempted to put his pants back on, "Thanks for the warning, luv."
Kitty laughed, he loved the sound of her laugh, "I never would have figured you for a boxers man." She kissed him before she bent over to pick up her own clothes.
"Kit, keep that up, and we'll be so late Kurt will be popping in here to find out what's taking so long."
"Yeah, well, just be glad Logan's not down there. He'd know instantly what we've been up to," Pete grimaced. Of all Kitty's self-appointed guardians there were two he didn't want to piss off: Logan and Peter Rasputin. They were both bigger than him.
Fortunately it was late and no one was around besides the security guard and the occasional sleepy psychiatrist. They reached her room and she didn't give him a choice, she grabbed him by the tie and pulled him into her room. For the second time that day he found himself fiddling with the zipper of her costume while she sighed as he managed the downward pull and reached in for the treasures hidden there.

The next few days garnered them long, knowing looks from the women, and head scratching from the guys. Finally, one night Pete suggested they go visit the local pub. She found Brian and Meggan in their room and was immediately interrogated by Meggan about what was going on. The disgruntled look on Brian's face spoke volumes about what he thought about "girl talk". Next she encountered Kurt and his girlfriend, Amanda Sefton, who was also a recent addition to the team. Kurt's face grew dark as Kitty told him that she wanted to discuss Pete's position on the team.
So, Kitty, Pete, Kurt, Amanda, Brian, Meggan, Douglock, Moira and Rahne piled onto the plane. As Kitty piloted the plane toward the mainland Brian made a comment that had Kitty exclaim, "Brian, you drunk-proofed the plane?!" causing everyone to laugh.
The pub they reached was once owned by Moira's father, and was used to unusual people coming in and out. So accustomed to it that the barmaid commented that not even blue fur would keep Kurt warm and offered him some whiskey. The convivial evening continued even when Kitty and Pete announced that they were in love. Moira even slurred that that was nice, very nice. Kurt and Brian took Pete into the bathroom and had the obligatory talk about what would happen to various body parts if he hurt Kitty. As they returned to the room they found Douglock staring perplexed up at the women as they performed the Can-Can atop a table.
The three couples ended the evening outside the Muir Island facility smooching under the full moon while Moira, for some strange drunken reason, tried to keep Rahne's innocence by covering her eyes. Pete reluctantly let go of his girlfriend as she went inside and he decided to stay outside and smoke. No one noticed the hulking figure in the shadows.

Kitty stood in the kitchen, seriously contemplating Moira's "coffee" when she thought she heard Pete call her name. She found herself putting down the coffee cup and hurrying toward the door just as Kurt and Brian picked up her agitation and asked what was wrong. She opened the door expecting almost anything other than what she saw. Peter was here, talking very seriously to Pete about politics. "Peter?" she whispered, almost not believing her eyes. "Peter! Oh my god it is you." The giant turned as Kitty rushed over giving him a big hug.
"Why didn't you call and tell us you were coming?" Brian broke in as many other questions joined in. Pete was looking decidedly embarrassed as he stood on the outside of the group looking in.
"Well, it was a last minute thing. I decided I wanted a fresh start somewhere else. I hope you don't mind…" he trailed off looking over at Wisdom.
"No, of course we don't mind. Who'd have thought we'd have two Pete's join the team on the same night," Kurt replied with a grin for the Brit.
Kitty slipped herself under Pete's arm, "Gave you the third degree?" He nodded, "I told you I had a lot of big brothers. He's my best friend," she sighed. They wandered back into the facility to locate another room for Peter. A job made much easier when Pete volunteered to move out of his room. No one asked where he was going.

Pete had had enough. He thought she'd loved him. When she couldn't open up to him about the last mission and she'd made google eyes at Fallon it was the last straw. He stood at the dock fuming, waiting for the boat when he heard Moira call his name.
"What di ye think yuir doin' Wisdom? Are ye jus' gonna leave them like that?"
"Leave what, you Scottish Harridan. Someone who really doesn't love me? Who cares for that flying rat more than me?"
He watched as she took deep breaths, controlling her temper, "And what are ye gonna tell ye're son when he's old enough to understand that ye abandoned his mother?"
Grin, gotcha
