Kitty sat on the couch with the most horrid look on her face. She was annoyed. She was ashamed. She was angry. And worst of all, she was tired. The X-men were all down there minus Logan, the professor, and Hank. Ororo stood in the corner watching as Scott, the field leader of the team, argued his point across. Kitty wasn't in the mood of a debate hour. In fact, she was never in the mood of debate, but that's what the X-men always seemed to do. It was supposed to be healthy. Right now, Kitty felt as if it was hazardous to her sanity. They had been going on for a good thirty minutes. Lance was right next to Kitty with his arm around her. Rogue sat on the couch next to Lance with the same horrid look of annoyance, anger, shame, and exhaustion. Kurt was across the room glaring at Lance's arm around Kitty.
"We can't trust him," Scott said stubbornly.
"Besides, he's from the side where my archenemy is from," Evan added. Rogue snorted in disgust.
"You have something to say Rogue?" Evan snapped.
"Other than this is pathetic?" Rogue commented.
"I trust Lance and we have no proof that he'll do anything wrong," Kitty stood up for herself.
"You're only saying that because he's your boyfriend," Jean interjected as she flipped her hair.
"As if you hadn't done that before," Kitty scoffed. Jean sent her a nasty glare.
"Well I don't think he should stay here and that's final," Jean stood up.
"Who died and made you king?" Rogue snarled. Jean put up her arms.
"Obviously I am-"
"She has a point Jean," Ororo interrupted. "I grant permission for Lance to stay in the institute."
"But Ororo!" Scott pleaded.
"No buts," Ororo stopped him. Everyone left the room except for Rogue, Kitty and Lance.
"I'm sorry," Kitty apologized. Lance shrugged.
"Ehh.. Whatever," He said. "At least there aren't that many people I'll have to deal with."
"You've got a point," Rogue added. "I'm tired, I'm gonna got to bed."
"So am I," said Kitty. "After I settle you into your new room."
Lance got the room across from Kitty and Rogue all to himself. Kitty walked into the room with Lance as he placed his stuff on the floor. He snatched Kitty up into his arms. Kitty let out a yelp and they both fell onto his bed. Kitty go on top of him and they kissed passionately.
"Goodnight," said Kitty. She phased through the door and started to walk across the hall. She heard a scuffle from down the hall towards the New Mutants rooms. She couldn't see because of the dark.
"Is someone there?" She called. There wasn't any answer. It must be my imagination,
Kitty thought.
Bobby sat awake in his room playing his game boy with his headphones in. He looked over to his roommate, Robert, who was sound asleep. He figured he was done playing so he switched the game boy off. There was a noise outside of his door. He heard the faint voice of Kitty asking who's there. He went to the door and looked outside. He couldn't see Kitty and he assumed that she left. Bobby looked the other direction and thought he saw something. He crept down the hallway to get a better look. He felt something pierce neck and he felt dizzy. His vision began to blur and it faded to black as he fell unconscious.
