CHAPTER FIVE
Later that evening at the X mansion, Kitty told her friends who her prom date was. They took it rather well… not.
Rogue screamed. Jean slumped to the floor in a dead faint. Evan froze with a look of shock on his face and Kurt bellowed a German blasphemy not printable here. Scott hit the roof.
"You're going to the prom with PIETRO MAXIMOFF?!!!" he yelled, livid with rage. "Kitty, have you gone completely INSANE?!!!"
"Oh, look, Jean's fainted," Kitty said in an attempt to distract him.
Ignoring the love of his life's loss of consciousness, Scott paced left and right, shaking his head. "This could be a trap. No, it most definitely is a trap. He's planning something terrible, I just know it!"
"Why would he, like, do something terrible to me?" Kitty demanded.
"EARTH TO KITTY!" Evan cried, regaining his wits. "He's one of the BROTHERHOOD! And in case you've forgotten, we're not exactly buddy-buddy with them."
"Maybe he's gonna kidnap you and hold you hostage!" said Kurt.
"Or he might use ya to get into a bank vault," Rogue suggested. "Seein' as how ya can phase through stuff an' all."
Kitty rolled her eyes. "For God's sake, he's Pietro Maximoff, not the devil's incarnate!" she cried, jumping off the couch where she had been sitting and stomping up the stairs to her room. The others watched her go, then jumped when they heard a door slam with enough force to shatter the windows.
"I thought Maximoff was the devil's incarnate," Evan muttered.
Scott sighed, adjusting his ruby red shades. "Okay, look, we'll just have to keep an eye on Kitty on Friday night. And make sure one of us rides with her and Maximoff to the school gym."
"Ah'll do it," Rogue volunteered.
"All right." Relieved that the matter was taken care of, Scott turned his attention to the limp redhead on the floor. "Now let's get to work on reviving Jean."
