A/N: A little break from Kitty Pryde. This would focus on the other characters. Yeah I survived the "hell week" in school, so here another chapter :D
"It's been a long time since we last did this." Eric moved one of his chess pieces that were laid down in front of him.
"Yes, just like the old times," it was somehow a moment for all of them to take a break. They should probably be thinking of ways on how to solve the Neo problem they had last night and Kitty's powers getting unleashed.
All of them were busy the whole day. The men except for Bobby, who had his arm bandaged after he received a burn from the electric blast of the armored Neo, were in charge of fixing the damages left by the attack of the Neo last night. Storm, Rogue, and Kurt took charge of the problems with regards to the students. Jean was in the lab, studying the fast changes happening in Kitty's cells. Kitty is now undergoing more mutations now that the Neo has taken almost 70% of her. This left Professor Xavier, Eric, Bishop, Hank and Raven to find ways of restraining her powers once again, although it may seem impossible.
The following hours became even more crucial for them. Parents heard about the attack of seven unknown mutants and started calling over and over again; some even rushed to the mansion's premises to know if their children were safe. This brought even greater problems to all of them, not to mention that Kitty's nowhere to be found. Where is she?
"What is it this time Bobby?"
"I just want to ask if you're okay." after what he found out last night, he has looked for Kitty all day only to find her kissing Seth in the hallway.
"Was that the whole point of you dragging me to this room?" she crossed her arms and looked sternly at Bobby. Was that really his reason for taking her here?
"I know you won't talk to me, I thought that this might be the only way." he looked away, but then remembered the main reason why he pulled her here, "Are you and Seth..."
"What's with me and Seth?" she looked closer. Her eyes didn't look away to Bobby.
"Well, I saw you kissing him in the hallway and..." absent-mindedly he went closer to Kitty and grabbed her arms.
Kitty looked at his dazzling blue eyes and tried to connect to Bobby's head. As if being hypnotized, Bobby went closer and closed the small gap between the two of them and locked his lips on hers.
Kitty wrapped her arms around Bobby's neck and pulled him closer. The man, on the other, hand grabbed her by her waist and closed the gaps that parted the two of them.
Bobby's hands began to venture inside Kitty's clothes while the other kept them close to each other. He slid his tongue inside Kitty's mouth and felt everything his tongue could possibly touch inside. What is he doing? He doesn't know all that was running through his head was that he has craved for this moment to finally do this with Kitty, so he wasted not a single chance to satisfy himself.
After they've shared a glorious kiss, Kitty pulled away. She breathed cold air out of her mouth. Bobby pulled her once again and kissed her over and over again. His lips slowly traveled from Kitty's lips down to her. Why can't he resist her? It was as if his body has gone auto-pilot and just do what it wants to do, "Give me more."
Kitty's eyes switched to white and Bobby was not able to notice it beforehand. He did as Kitty's mind told him and he didn't have any hesitation. When he was about to take their clothes off, Kitty fell on the wooden floor. She grew weak, her body can't handle the long term use of her psychic abilities yet. Bobby finally snapped out of the trance he was put into and quickly he lifted Kitty into his arms and ran outside.
"Have you seen Kitty?" Jean asked another student she came across. Where is Kitty? She had already checked all the possible places where she could be. Asked everyone who she might be with? She even tried to locate her through telepathy, but she still found her not.
"Jean!" a voice called her. It was Bobby, and he's carrying an unconscious Kitty on his arms.
"What happened? Quick, bring her to the lab." as soon as they arrived, Bobby laid Kitty over the bed and Jean immediately placed electrodes over Kitty's forehead. The machine, where the nodes were connected, gave a surprising result. She is producing a huge amount of psionic waves, but was she not able to detect it? Was she controlling it? But sure enough this is a big problem.
"Bobby, do you mind watching over her? I need to tell the Professor about this." Kean quickly left the room and immediately headed for Professor Xavier's office. As expected, everyone was even more distressed by the news. Jean immediately returned to the lab with the Professor.
Charles placed his hand over Kitty's head and ventured through her mind, but something blocked him. It was the Neo, it had gained even more power than before. With no idea on how much power the Neo has gained, all they could do was to estimate. This lead them to a percentage that ranges from 80-90%. After that, they kept Kitty sedated just until her brain's activity would decrease to a normal level.
"Long day isn't it Raven? Or do you prefer Mystique?" a familiar voice startled Raven a bit, but somehow it made her smile.
"Yeah." she glanced at Hank then looked back to the sky, "You look better...Beast."
"What do you mean?" Hank glanced at her and smiled.
"Well, you took my blood before, so you could create a cure to resolve your physical mutation problem." she looked at Hank and smiled at him.
"Yeah. I think it was one of my great mistakes in life. It was something I'm not proud of." he felt a bit shy and remembered that moment he injected the serum to his foot and enhanced his mutation, "What made you come home?"
"Well, this is my home. And...I kinda missed this place, and everyone." she smiled and remembered the time all of them were still together. The time she, Hank, Alex, Banshee, Angel, and Darwin were all at the CIA facility having a good time and giving codenames to each other. The time they moved to the mansion and trained to control their powers. The time they went on to their first mission as the first X Men as well as the moment it was divided into two
"A lot of things has changed then, we are treated equally in the society now. All thanks to you."
Raven went closer and kissed Hank's cheek. They smiled at each other and somehow memories of the time were younger flashed in their heads, "Mutant and proud."
"Professor, there is someone who needs to see you." Storm interrupted the conversation that Charles and Eric shared.
"Who was it?" the Professor asked.
"He did not say his name, but he said he really needs to see you now." Storm led the professor to the stranger that said he has to talk with the Professor. Who could be visiting him at this time of the day?
In the foyer, a man with blonde hair stood and looked at the portraits and photos that are displayed. The Professor saw him and somehow he felt as if he knew this man, "Alex?"
The man turned around and smiled at the Professor as he walked closer to give him a hug. It was Alex Summers, it's been a long time since they last saw each other. By the time the United States had war with Vietnam, Alex had to participate; and that was the last time they both saw each other, until now, "It was good to see you Professor."
"Where have you been?" the Professor immediately asked as the two of them ventured their way back to his office.
"After Raven helped us return home and saved us from being transferred to the Trask Industries, I've lived in peace." he replied, "But then I've heard the news about seven mutants attacking and I headed here as soon as possible."
They reached the office and there Alex saw Eric sitting in front of a chess board and he also saw his old friends Raven and Hank. They all shared a hug and had some catching up, it's been a long time since they saw each other. Eric and Charles stared at their first students sharing their stories and somehow Charles found a good thing about the Neo problem they are currently facing.
"If only Angel, Darwin, and Banshee were here." they felt a bit sad somehow.
Raven remembered her friends killed. The night Shaw killed Darwin and the autopsy photo of Angel in Trask's office, "Darwin's dead, Angel's dead..."
"And Banshee?" Alex interrupted. Somehow it enlightened Raven. Yes, he may still be alive. She did not find any photo of him in the autopsy files of Trask that day she sneaked in, "They may be a possibility that he's still alive right?"
"The Professor used to say that someday we will all be together again."
