I love your guy's reviews. They make me so happy!
"Hank, there's no word from Multiple either!"
Hank sighed.
"Don't worry, Rogue. We'll find them, but we'll have to call all of the X-Men home."
Rogue shut off the video phone and laid her head against top of the seat in front of her.
"We'll find them," Jean muttered.
"What if we don't?" Rogue's muffled voice asked.
"We will."
"Use your mind powers to see what's happening to them!" Rogue begged her voice still muffled.
Jean rolled her eyes and then shut them.
"Their screaming. I... Kitty's sobbing. Kurt's crying pretty hard, too. Something about needle and poison... Agh, I can't concentrate!"
"LOGAN! DRIVE FASTER!" Rogue screamed, not even raising her head.
"I'm doing my best!" came his reply.
oOo
Kitty grabbed Kurt's hand, her face streaked red from tears.
"Kurt... ow... get us out of here..." she whispered, turning to face him.
He met her gaze.
"Kitty... ve have to get... out!" Kurt answered.
He sat up and coughed up a lot of blood.
"Kurt!" Kitty cried, scared.
"Kitty... up!" a small voice begged.
Kitty looked up. Mae was peering through the window.
"Boyfriend hurt?"
"Yeah, he is," Kitty muttered, helping Kurt to stay sitting up.
"Can you help us?" she asked.
"I help you. I move window and you ghost through," Mae suggested.
She yanked the window away.
"Why you no come?" Mae asked, confused.
Kitty pointed to the chain around her ankle. Mae smiled and squinted at the chain. It snapped in two. Kitty stood up, putting Kurt's arm around her neck.
"You're one of us?" Kitty asked, in amazement.
"Yeah; you be quiet though. Mummy says I sick..."
Kitty understood as she fazed Kurt through the wall.
"I won't tell anyone," Kitty promised.
She collapsed suddenly and coughed up some blood.
"Kitty, no worry. Friends are here," Mae said, pointing to the X-Jet landing.
Kitty hugged Mae good bye.
"If you ever want to talk, you know who to call," Kitty whispered into the girl's ear.
Rogue pulled Kitty and Kurt into the X-Jet and lay them down. Logan drove off as fast as he could.
"Boyfriend, huh?" Kurt joked.
Kitty laid her head next to his shoulder.
"Sure, Fuzzy Elf. If that's what you want," she teased.
"Actually, zat's vat I have been vanting ever since I met you!" Kurt said, grinning.
Kitty's eyes widened. Blood crept out from either side of her mouth.
"Kurt..." her eyes misted over and she smiled softly.
"Not that this ain't cute in all, but we have to know what happened to you guys," Rogue said, interrupting them.
"I can't like... explain it. They..."
"Zey poked us, prodded us, punched us, abused us and attempted to kill us," Kurt finished, closing his eyes softly.
"Kurt, stay with me," Kitty muttered, her eyelids fluttering.
"Speak for yourself..."
"If either of you die, I'll kill you myself!" Rogue growled.
Jean turned and stared at her.
"If their dead, how will you kill them?"
"Oh forgot about that..." Rogue admitted.
"Just go zrough our memories," Kurt mouthed, his breath slowing.
Kitty wasn't moving at all.
"Oh god..." Jean muttered, scared.
She looked at the two mutants on the floor. Let me rephrase that. The two dying mutants on the floor.
"Logan!"
"I'm hurrying!"
Yeah... bet you didn't see that coming...
