An hour later
Kitty looked around only met with darkness. "Hello?" she called fearfully. At her voice a light turned on.
"Good, you're awake," a man said. Kitty looked up seeing Magneto. She tensed feeling the fear growing.
She raised her head to meet his gaze defiantly. "What do you want with me?"
"It's not what I want, child," Magneto told her, amused by her show of defiance. "It's what my men want."
"And what do they want?" Kitty asked truly afraid to know the answer to the question.
Magneto smirked. "I believe that that would be obvious, you're a smart girl. I'm sure you can figure it out." Kitty concentrated on her powers and quickly found that they couldn't free her of her binds. "Child, your binds are enchanted. Your powers are useless with them."
"Please, Mr. Magneto. Don't let them do this."
His smirk merely grew. "But, Katherine, you're their reward. Too bad Gambit won't be here to savor it."
"Please, don't," Kitty sobbed.
"Piotr," Magneto called. The Russian walked in. "She's all yours." He left. Piotr approached Kitty softly touching her cheek. Kitty flinched away from the contact causing the Russian to pause.
"How are you, Kitty?" he asked softly.
"Just found out I'm going to be the sex slave to the Acolytes," Kitty said bitterly. "I'm, like, just peachy, how about you?"
"I'm sorry, Katya," Piotr said gently touching her cheek again. "I never vanted this to happen to you."
"If you meant that you'd let me go."
"I cannot."
"Just as I figured."
"Katya. . . "
"Look, just do whatever you're here to do, but I want you to remember, this is rape and I won't forget that."
"It doesn't have to be-"
"I don't want this!" Kitty closed her eyes feeling tears in them. "Please, don't do this."
At the Institute
"What would they want with Kitty?" Rogue asked as she, Remy, and Pete sat on the couch waiting for the professor.
"Think really hard and I'm sure you can come up with a few scenarios," Pete muttered. Rogue's eyes went wide and Remy narrowed his eyes. Pete met Remy's gaze evenly. "Look, I'm not going to sugarcoat this. We all know damn well what might be happening to her!" He ran a hand through his hair glaring down at the floor. "I was too slow."
"For Pietro a race car is too slow," Rogue whispered comfortingly.
"We're headin' out, Stripes," Logan said. "Chuck found Magneto's lair. Who's comin'?"
"We all are," Rogue said. Logan looked at Remy.
"Remy's going," Remy said. "Dey went too far takin' de kid."
"Let's go then," Logan growled. They got onto the jet flying to the lair
At the lair
"I cannot do it," Piotr said. "I cannot hurt her."
"Fine," Magneto said glaring at the huge Russian for his show of weakness. "Sabretooth, your turn." Piotr closed his eyes at this. Sabretooth went into the room. A few seconds later the door was thrown open by the wind. There flew Storm. Pyro came in with his tanks on. The fight was on.
"Comrade," Piotr said facing Remy crossing his metal arms. "I don't vant to hurt you."
"Mon ami, you should have dought about dat before you hurt de girl," Remy said throwing one of his cards up which caused a large explosion knocking the beam onto Piotr, effectively pinning him.
"Where is she?" Pete asked Logan.
Logan sniffed around before finding the door. "In there." Pete kicked the door open and Logan walked in growling deeply. Sabretooth stood and growled back.
"You interrupted, runt," Sabretooth said smiling nastily. "The kid and I were just about to have a real good time."
"Half-Pint," Logan said looking at the shaking girl, "you okay?" Kitty nodded. "Good."
Logan lunged tackling Sabretooth to the ground. Pete rushed to Kitty. She was shaking terribly and missing her shirt. He saw the shredded piece of fabric lying on the floor. He took off his trench coat slipping it over her shoulders before studying her for any obvious injuries.
"It's going to be okay, luv," he murmured lifting her into his arms and carrying her out of the room. She clung to him trembling. He carried her onto the jet and sat her down. "I'm going to go back inside."
"No!" she said clinging to him harder. "Don't leave me, Pete."
"Shh, it's all right, luv, I'm just going to go help your friends. I'll be right back, I swear." He gently pried her off of him. He went outside to help but the X-Men were already heading back.
"Is he dead?" Pete asked Logan as the older mutant walked onto the plane.
"He ran," Logan growled. He walked onto the plane kneeling beside Kitty. "How are ya holdin' up, Half-Pint?"
Kitty smiled tremulously. "I'm alright."
"Kid, it's okay," Logan sat down next to her for a second and hugged her, a site that surprised the others. Kitty completely broke down at this and clung to him sobbing.
"Mr. Logan, if you hadn't got there." Kitty stopped talking as the realization of what could have happened set in. She began sobbing again.
"Logan, Magneto's powers are fading," Rogue said. "We need to get out of here before he comes to." Logan reluctantly stood gently smoothing Kitty's hair. Pete sat down in his spot pulling the young girl into his arms. Kitty laid her head on his chest and clung to his jacket.
"Shh," he murmured. "It's okay, luv, everything's goin' to be okay."
