Kitty and Pete story
I own nothing. Nothing I tell you. NOTHING! But I love Marvel and the X-Men with all my heart.
Takes place after Astonishing X-Men, and after Kitty is brought back to Earth by Magneto.(Nation X) But nothing after that. Colossus does not come to visit her.
My first waking memory is being ripped apart. It hurts so much. I've had this felling before. A long time ago when I thought that I was invincible, and not just because of my powers. I'm a walking ghost and have been since this happened to me before when I was 14 and about to die. My world has been changed so often that I don't know what is real anymore. Even now that I am free of my metal prison. I am still trapped. The big difference is that I don't know if I will ever get out. I was lucky to get out last time. The technology has gotten better so who knows. I guess I will just have to wait, and see. I can hear but not talk to anyone. Surprise of all surprises Erik Lehnsherr was the one to bring me back even though it almost killed him, and it put him a coma. Doc Strange helped too. I don't know what I would do without them. I wish that I could let them know how very grateful I am, but I can't. I was phased for so long that I don't know how to be anything else. One thing that my past has taught me is that I can't run away from this. Even if I wanted to. If I leave my clear tube I'm dead. This is a hell that I have to relive, but I have far more patience now then I did then. So far only a few of my teammates have come to see. Logan for sure, as so as he heard what Magneto was trying to do he was there. It didn't matter that the team needed him. He was there when I came out of the bullet, but I don't remember it.
My eyes weren't working, but my ears did. "Logan catch Erik I'll get Kitty. I can't hold her. She's just floating there. What should I do Logan? I can't touch her" the panic in the mans' voice was getting more pronounced. Kitty thought that she had heard this voice before, but couldn't place the who or where she had heard it before.
"Find the tube that is at the base came doc. Mags wasn't sure that we would need it but it looks like we do. Don't forget the power cell for it either as soon as we get her in we need to power that sucker up. Sorry about this half-pint, but this is the only way that I know how to save you. Mags you getting heavy. Its' gonna take us longer to get down now" hearing Logan was so good but I was to weak to even say or acknowledge him. There was a strange sound close to me. Then I couldn't feel anything around me and the voices of Logan and the other man became unclear. I was not sure if it was because of being tired or because of the tube that I knew surrounded me now.
After that I was next aware of the noises of machines all around me. I know machines like I know the look of my hands. I went to college of computers (haven't graduated yet, but I will). I was able to take apart a jet, and put it back together when I was thirteen. I was the fastest one to catch on. Not to mention that I can also pilot a Skrull ship. I don't know what all the equipment is for, or why. For all I know I could just be in a med bay. In our world there always noisy because of the alien technology, and all of the backwards capability that we have to have to make it work here. More like MacGuyvering everything to make things work, hopefully.
Everything was still blurry but I was still able to hear voices. "Hey, there Half-pint can you hear me?" the gruff voice of my mentor and foster father came from my left side. I tried to move my body, but I felt so heavy. So I just moved my arm to where I heard where he was. It seamed that he liked that. "Well you did give me a right scare pumpkin. Wasn't sure that I would see you again. Should have known that it was to hard to kill you, but we're thinking that you are going to be here for a while. Half-pint I'm going to have to get going soon. I don't want to let the others know that your back yet. Everyone would interfere with the rest that you are going to need to be able to get back to normal. Well normal for you. I don't know how long its' gonna be till your better. That's why I'm not going to let everyone know that your back yet. For now your going to stay with Doc Strange and get better. He's going to keep me updated so I expect you to work hard at getting back. Understand? Logan always pushing the standards of even I think that I can do. I move my hand again towards his voice. I understand why Logan is hesitant to tell the rest of the team. This may take a lot of time and the X-Men are not known for being subtle even some of the older members. I heard him leaving the room. Then there was nothing but silence. It gave me time to think. Not that I didn't have time to think when I was in the bullet, but with the machines working around me gave me a since of peace. Not the endless quite that enveloped me, and penetrated my whole soul and mind. The silence made it thinking hard I was never really sure how long I was gone in the endless amount of the space that I was traveling thru so fast. It doesn't look like I will be able ask anyone anytime soon. I can barely move, can't see, and can't talk, and I'm don't even sure that I can sleep even. My life so cool, NOT! OK so maybe I was channeling Jubes right there, but who could blame me? Not that I'm going to dwell on it cause if I do I know that Wolvie will give me hell for it.
Think Kitty how long do it take to get back to normal last time. …... 7 months. 7 months to get out of a tube. I wasn't even as bad as this last time Even until the end last time I could still see. Even that has been taken from me. Now I have to center myself and remember how it feels to be solid. I know that I can do this.
