Kitty looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. A small, delicate hand smoothly brushed her stomach.
Dammit, she thought, then quickly covered her mouth as if she'd say it aloud. She grabbed her purse off the white counter top and pushed open the bathroom door. She nearly collided with a stout old man dragging a rolling suitcase behind him. She grunted and muttered something about rudeness before taking a seat in a plush red chair.
She pulled a compact makeup container from her purse and reapplied her blush. Whoever the guy was, she wanted to look good. Although, she thought, I really don't see a point, as her hand again traveled to her belly.
Then another thought stuck her; she had no idea as to who she was to pick up. She was the preverbal welcome wagon, sent to pick up all new teacher recruits. Normally Scott sent her a large manila folder complete with anything and everything to know of the newbie. This time he simple told her 'You'll know him when you see him, believe me.'
She rubbed her hand together anxiously and again checked her watch, the plane was already half-an-hour later, and she was getting impatient.
"Attention, flight number 238 will be landing in five minutes. I repeat flight number 238 will be landing in five minutes."
Kitty pulled the ripped piece of paper from her purse, flight 238, as scrawled in neat handwriting.
Thank God.
She waited the five minutes, only returning to the bathroom once, and waited even more to see whom she'd recognize. She smiled as a couple was reunited in a loving embrace.
Then she saw him.
The white-haired man.
Pietro.
And her blood boiled.
hehehe
Cliffhanger, I know you hate me. Why is Kitty mad at Pietro? Why do I keep making references to her stomach? Why don't I update more often and with longer chapters?
I can answer the last one easily.
My muse is very temperamental; he gives me great ideas for new stories, but not new chaps. He's just mad because he hasn't shish-kabobed anyone just. And I'm beginning to like these small chapters.
If you didn't get it earlier, Rogue was on the cover of time fighting a Sentinel. If you don't know what a Sentinel is, go read an X-men Comic or watch the original cartoon.
