Disclaimer: *whimper* I wish I owned X-Men. *sob* But I don't!
All right everybody, my muse came back from her *unapproved* vacation! And HERE is the scene I know EVERYBODY'S been waiting for. Lol! Duncan gets his ass Kicked! Yay!
* * * * *
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Kitty moaned and turned off her alarm. This was the first time she woke up early in over two weeks. She didn't mind, seeing as she was finally allowed to go back to school. It had taken some pleaded on her part to Xavier, but he finally gave in, after her bringing up the point that she was falling behind in her studies. And no one wanted that.
She had an hour before she had to leave, so she went to the bathroom and took a shower. Drying herself, she looked in the mirror.
Her hair was naturally curly, but no one knew it. For her bangs to get that straight look, she had to clip them straight to her head. She also had to take about 20 minutes straightening the rest of her hair.
"Hmm," she said quietly to herself. "I think I'll let my hair go curly today. So, instead of taking out the blow dryer and all her other hair crap, she just towel-dried it, and went to look for something to wear.
She decided on a red button-up blouse, black Capri's, and her usual black sandals. The only difference was that today, her hair was wild.
She picked up her book bag, and headed downstairs. Logan was there already, reading his paper. He looked up as she came in, and asked, "What are ya doin up so early, Short Stuff?"
Kitty looked at him and said, "I'm going back to school today. The professor said it was okay."
Logan didn't look too pleased, and he growled a bit, but otherwise stayed quiet. She sat down, grabbed an apple, and opened up her laptop.
Kitty began typing her usual email to her parents, they had planned to come visit her while she was in a coma, but she had woken up before they could get there.
Now she had to insist in every email that she was doing fine, and she didn't need a visit.
About 30 minutes later, the rest of the crew stampeded down, grabbing their on-the-run breakfasts.
They all got in Scott's car (everyone already knew about Kitty going back) and headed to Bayville High.
After they parked, Kitty noticed how the group had formed a protective circle around her. She was grateful for this. Yes, she herself had to convince Professor x to let her come back, but it was only because she didn't think she could stand just staying around the mansion for the whole time.
Once they got in the hall, the circle had to split up, because most of them had different classes for first period.
* * * * *
Kitty was having a pretty good day. The teachers were sympathetic (they didn't know anything other than she had been sick for 2 weeks, but they knew she had a hell of a lot of make-up work ahead of her). Friends told her they were glad she was back, and wished her well.
Kitty had free time before lunch, so she headed there early, to look over one of her textbooks. She was sitting at their usual table, a barely- touched salad in front of her.
She felt something blow beside her. She felt warm breath near her ear. It was Duncan. "Hey, Kitty- Kat. Long time no see."
Kitty froze. She couldn't move, and her breathing became short. "What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" he hissed in her ear. He laughed at his own crude pun.
Kitty felt a warm tear slide down her cheek. _He wouldn't try anything, not in a crowded room._ Her mind raced. Suddenly, she heard, "Hey! Get away from her!" Both her and Duncan looked over to see Scott, Kurt, Rogue, Evan, and Jean running toward them.
Duncan stood, and Kitty took this chance to grab her stuff and run from the room. She passed her friends n the way out, and they could see she was crying.
Jean and Rogue looked at each other, and turned to comfort Kitty. "We'll be back," Jean called to Scott. But he wasn't listening.
The entire cafeteria was silent now. There might be a fight, so shut up and listen.
There were two of Duncan's cronies in that lunch period.
Three jocks faced the two X-Men. Duncan said quietly, "What's wrong with Kit- Kat? Can't she hold her lunch?" His cronies sniggered at his Neanderthal comment.
Scott had to hold Kurt back from attacking Duncan. Kurt was too well mannered to result to swearing. But there was nothing wrong with telling the truth.
"You rat- faced, small- minded, alcoholic redneck!" He yelled.
Duncan scowled. He walked over to where Scott was still holding Kurt back, and spat in Kurt's face.
A loud, "Ooo," filled the café.
Disgusted, Kurt wiped the saliva from his face.
He didn't hold Scott back when he punched Duncan right in the teeth.
It was three against two. That's why Kurt and Scott didn't feel guilty about whooping their Asses. It was a fair fight. Scott had taken out the two cronies in seconds. He let Kurt pummel Duncan to bloody pulp. After all, Kitty was HIS girlfriend.
* * * * *
"Kitty? Kitty, are you alright?" Jean asked, concern clear in her voice.
"C'mon, Kitty. We know you're in there. We see your feet at the bottom of the stall.
Defeated, Kitty left the stall she had been in the girl's restroom. Her eyes were red, and her cheeks were puffy.
"C'mere, Kitty." Jean said, enveloping her in a hug. Rogue carefully joined, making sure of no skin-on-skin contact. Kitty began sobbing again.
"I'm sorry. It's just; I still hear his voice, ringing in my ears. I can't- I can't make it go away!" she cried.
"It's all right, Kitty." Jean said, smoothing her hair over. "We'll take you to the Professor." They separated.
"Ya!" Rogue chimed in. "He'll clear your head for yah!" Rogue carefully placed an arm around Kitty's shoulders.
Sniffling, Kitty said, "Okay. Let's go." The two older girls then led Kitty to the office.
Where they met the Professor, Kurt, and Scott.
* * * * *
"I was very disappointed to get a call from the school, saying that you two were suspended for fighting," Xavier said. Duncan's distraught mother had picked up her injured son to take him to the hospital; Kurt and Scott had shuddered at her Evil Eye.
Xavier was just about to lead the two out, when they ran into the trio of girls.
^Jean, what's going on?^ he asked her telepathically. ^I'll explain later. Can you just let us take Kitty home?^ she asked.
^Well, I was just about to take these two home; they've been suspended for fighting.^ Jean's eyes widened, though she wasn't very surprised.
^I might as well take the rest of you, too.^
Xavier wheeled around. "And please excuse Miss Grey, Miss Pryde, and Rogue. We have some things to discuss."
The secretary scowled, typed something in her computer, and said, "Fine, I'll tell their teachers they won't be in for the rest of their classes."
Xavier smiled, "Thank you Miss."
He led his troop back to the car. There, Logan was waiting. When three extra kids got in, he asked, "They were ALL fighting?"
"No," Xavier said, "There seems to have been an incident between Kitty and a Mr. Matthews."
Logan growled loudly. "That kid's gonna find himself in a whole lotta mess."
"Logan, please." Xavier said, looking at Kitty. "We'll discuss it later."
Kitty was pointedly looking out the window. They were quiet for the rest of the ride home.

PS. Wow, am I happy with this chappy. And I hope you are too. I'm sorry about being such a bitch in my last chappy, but hey, my cell phone got stolen. So what can you expect from me? Well, review!
