Here is the ending! The 5 part series will finally end- this one has a lot less action- more talking, filling plot holes, etc. But, everything has to end sometime. ;) (Please realize this is coming from a person who never read comics or has seen the movie. If I have relations wrong or histories wrong.. deal with it. This is fanfiction, accuracy isn't everything! ^_^)** indicates thought
Rumors, pt 5
----------------------------------------
Yawning, Kitty slowly opened her tired eyes. Yesterday -Friday- had been an extremely not-good day. She suddenly realized that she was leaning on Kurt's bed. Had she fallen asleep there? *Oh well, it's not like I like him or anything.* Glancing up, she saw his silent blue body. "Kurt? You asleep?"* Geez, stupid question. Why do people ask that anyway?* Then, the memories from last night hit her. His disappearance, the battle, that odd woman they call Mystique, and him going unconscious. "That's right! He didn't wake up!" With a new task on her mind, she stretched and gently touched his 3 fingered hand. "Elf?" She shook it slightly, with no response. *Duh, he sleeps like a log. You have to really shove the guy to wake him up.* She wiggled him a bit, but he remained asleep. Checking his breathing, she was relieved that he seemed to be in good condition.
"Finally, you're awake." Kitty turned to the voice of Jean Grey. "Is he awake?"
Kitty's face fell. "No, I can't get him to wake up." Nodding, Jean came over to the bed and put a hand on his forehead. I'm not sensing any thoughts. However, he is aware of things around him. In other words, it's not like he's in a coma or anything."
"Can he hear us?"
"I'm trying to reach him..he's too weak to respond, I suppose. Just give it time. Come on, breakfast was ready 10 minutes ago!" Jean was trying to seem cheerful in hope of lifting Kitty's spirits.
Kitty stood for a moment, looking at his peaceful face. "No, I think I'll stay here for a while. Tell Professor I'll eat later."
Jean waited, trying to think of another diversion. No success. "Okay, I'll see you in a while, I guess.." With that, she walked out of the room.
"You know, when you wake up I don't care how much you freak me out or tease me.." she had no idea why she was talking to him if he probably couldn't even hear her. "Kurt, please do something. Move or dream , anything that shows you're there."
----------------------------------
"She wouldn't come down?" Scott was helping with the dishes before going into the Danger Room. "If he was awake, he'd be enjoying her attention. We probably shouldn't tell him about that or he'll want to shoot himself for not being conscious." Jean and Scott laughed, it was nice to hear someone joking around. Without the fuzzy elf around, there wasn't much going on. He seemed to bring action into everyday life, whether they liked it or not.
-----------------------------------
Kitty was working on some homework at Kurt's desk. She'd tried listening to some music, humming, turning on his television, but it still seemed so quiet. Sighing, she walked out to the danger room. Perhaps some training would get her mind off of him.
Upon her leaving, a shadowed figure appeared in the tree outside Kurt's bedroom. "If I can't have you back, neither shall they."
-----------------------------------
Night had finally come at the mansion, and almost everyone was too bummed to stay up late- even if it was Saturday night. Rogue was especially confused. *Who attacked Kurt, and why did they pretend to be me?*
"Don't stay up too late." Wolverine winked at her as he went out into the garage- probably to work on his precious bike. Rogue wasn't tired, but she didn't feel like staying up if no one nice was around. Suddenly, one of the windows flew open from a small gust. When she went to close them, Rogue noticed that the rest of the plant life wasn't shaking from that breeze. "There's something goin' on 'round here. I feel it crawling up the back of ma neck.." Sighing, she walked up toward her room. "Kurt?" She paused at his room, hearing a small rustle. "Kitty? You in there again?" Rogue cautiously opened the door.
"Oh my god!" Kurt was floating a few feet above his bed while a chilly breeze filled the room. A blue skinned woman had some sharp, bony spines aimed at his neck. "What in the-" Rogue ran into the room, startling the shadowed woman. "Lucky for you, I still have Blob's power!" The young mutant jumped and gave the woman a powerful kick to the stomach. "Oof.." Mystique was immensely surprised to see her own "daughter" turning on her. "Rogue, let me do this!"
"How do you know my name?" she gasped, falling back. Meanwhile, Kurt's limp body fell back onto the soft ocean of pillows and blankets. With a gust of wind, his body was picked right back up.
"Leave him alone, what did he ever do to you!"
"He betrayed me, left me for this mess that man calls "The X-men"! My flesh and blood, taking the side against me! If your kind can take him from me, then I can take him right back!"
Rogue, in her confused fury, slammed into the woman again. "I don' know who you are, or why you are so against us, but we stand together! No matter what!" This time, she used her immense strength to punch her out the window. Mystique was not in the mood to battle like this- she had her own mutants to battle for her.
"Someday, child, you will meet me again. Whether you like it or not." With that, she disappeared into the darkness. Rogue sat, dazed, for a moment before realizing it was over.
"Kurt?" He still lay unconscious. Surprisingly, no one had heard the quick battle. She checked to make sure he looked okay, and then pulled his covers back over him.
------------------------------------
"You WHAT?!"
"Sir, she came and surprised me. I wasn't prepared for her to turn on me."
"You cannot even murder one single, sick mutant?" The dark figure that stood before Mystique had lost all patience. This kind of action was intolerable!
"I almost had him.. one spike to the neck and he would have been gone."
"But you didn't finish your task." He paused looking at her cowering face. "I suppose you did decently. Were you able to gain his powers?"
"Yes, I can now give any of the mutants the ability to teleport. They won't be able to climb walls, though. I do not know why I have not gained that."
The dark man sighed angrily. "Will you keep control of his mind?"
"No, I'm too far away now. He is probably already awake by now."
"And Professor X- does he know why the boy had remained unconscious for that amount of time?"
"No, the idiot has no idea what could have been keeping him asleep."
"Good. Although I am displeased-"
"Sir, I did the best I could. Do you know what it's like to battle someone you know very well? It's hard- I hate him for turning on me, but part of me still wishes to try and help him."
"Yes, I do somewhat understand the feeling of needing to destroy a 'friend'. We will gain their powers soon enough. He laughed maniacally before disappearing into the shadows.
------------------------------------
*Geez, go to sleep already.* Kitty had been awake for hours, thinking about different things. For some reason, she just couldn't get comfortable. Sighing, she closed her eyes and gently hugged a pillow. *I hate his guts I hate his guts I hate his guts I hate his guts!* "Ha, that's right. I hate him and his stupid, annoying powers.. and his ugly, fuzzy ears... and his goofy accent.. and that freaky tail.. and they way he used to teleport in front of me to freak me out.. and the way he used to make an idiot of himself to make me laugh.. and.. and the way he used to smile all cute with those sharp teeth.. and how he tried to impress me.."
A small, hot tear rolled down Kitty's cheek.
"Elf." Another small tear.
bamf!
"Kurt?.."
"CANNONBALL!" A rush of blue fur flew at her from the ceiling, landing smack in the middle of the bed. Kitty was sent flying onto the floor.
"JESUS, KURT! You scared the crud out of me!"
Kurt, cast and all, teleported under her covers.
"Get the hell out of my bed!" She was furious he could act so..normal after what happened.
"Maybe I'm comfortable here."
A stampede of footsteps came jogging down the hall. "Kitty? Are you all right? It's 4:00 in the morning!"
"I'm aware of that, Scott!" Scott then noticed the lump under her covers. "Am I..interupting something?"
"Yes." "No." the pair glanced at each other nervously.
"No!" "Yes!" Scott looked more than confused.
"JUST GO AWAY!" they said this in unison.
"Kurt? Is that you?"
"No, I'm Santa Clause."
"Everyone, Kurt's okay!"
In a manner of seconds, the whole gang was crowded by the door of Kitty's bedroom, complimenting that he made it. "Hey, we missed you, buddy!" "Don't ever do something that stupid again!" "Kurt, I swear it wasn't me, Mystique was imitating me." "You're ok. Good." "Whoa, that freaked us out for a while!" "Children, children! Allow him to get some rest." Storm seemed to be the only one fully awake. The others slowly filed out.
"NOT IN MY BEDROOM!"
"Aw, but your pillows are so warm and fluffy! I'm lonesome in my room!"
"GO!"
"But you said I could annoy you as much as I wanted to!"
"I DON'T CARE, JUST-" She blinked a few times. "You heard me?"
"Yah, every word. Rumor has it that you think my ears are cute!" He teleported onto the floor (standing on one foot) and gave her that cute little smile. "How 'bout a hug??" Kurt threw his arms open dramatically as she walked right through him. On the way, Kitty gave him a little peck on the cheek.
"Idiot. Go to bed." Yawning, she lay down peacefully. Kurt stood in the same position for several seconds. Sighing dreamily, he teleported back to his own room.
*Your fur is softer than I thought. Maybe this won't be so bad..*
"Good night, my Fuzzy Elf."
