*********************************************************************
Ellie looked around the room. Her bedroom. Everything looked alien. The only thing she knew to be hers was a small collection of framed photographs of herself, her mother and James.
"You'd think I would remember something from being in here, right?" She turned and asked Lance. He shrugged and said, "I guess when it comes, it comes."
He was sat cross legged on her bed. Ellie didn't care much, it didn't feel like her bed. She had slept in it, for the past two nights and it still wasn't right. She sat down next to him, "How did I end up losing my memory?"
Lance looked uncomfortable and replied, "We were driving home one night and a deer ran out into the road. I swerved to avoid it and we went through the barrier and down the side of the hill."
"Where had we been?" She pushed. Ellie had snatches of memory that kept coming back to her. She remembered that she and Lance had been arguing, though she didn't know what about. She decided to leave it until later, she needed to think about it more in private.
She smiled at Lance and said, "I think I'll take a shower and then come down and spend sometime with everyone, you know, try and jog something." She picked up a towel and turned to Lance who hadn't moved, "You mind?"
Lance smiled back, "Not at all!"
Ellie smiled and slapped him playfully on the arm, "Out! I'll meet you downstairs in about an hour."
Lance reluctantly got to his feet and walked out. Ellie undressed and pulled on a bathrobe. She opened the door and started towards the bathroom. She hadn't gone two steps when Kurt came running around the far corner. His holo-watch was off. When he saw Ellie he stopped and raised his hand to wave hi.
Ellie took a step back, screamed at the top of her lungs and ran into her room. She dropped the towel and ran to her dresser. Grabbing the corners, she started to push it towards the door.
Within seconds, someone started to bang on her door, shouting her name. Ellie span round and saw the window, she pulled it open and was half way out when Kurt teleported into the room and Kitty entered through the door.
Kurt realised immediately what had happened. He hadn't had his holo-watch on and Ellie saw him as his usual self. It hurt him, but he knew that she didn't remember him any more. He had tapped it before teleporting into her room.
Kitty ran to Ellie and pulled her back in. They fell to the floor and Ellie stared at the both of them.
"Did you see it? In the hallway? Did you see where it went?" She asked frantically.
Before either of them could answer the door gave way and Logan, Scott and Lance entered. Lance pushed Kurt out of the way and helped Ellie to her feet. He wrapped his arms around her and asked, "What happened?"
Kitty glanced at Kurt, who looked incredibly upset and before she could explain, he teleported out of the room in a cloud of smoke.
She shook her head, she still felt bad about how hurt he had been over her and Pietro, even if it wasn't her fault. And now, his best friend didn't recognise him.
She turned back to Ellie and Lance. Ellie was trying to explain. She described the 'monster' and everyone exchanged looks. They all remembered how she had reacted to Kurt that day, when they found her. She was terrified.
The guys all started talking at once and Kitty knew this wasn't going to solve anything. She put two fingers in her mouth and blew a loud whistle. Everybody stopped and looked at her in surprise.
"Out." She ordered, pointing at the door, when nobody moved, she raised her voice slightly and added, "Now! I'll explain to Ellie. You guys are so ham fisted about things. Now OUT!"
The guys filed out, except for Lance who looked defiantly at Kitty. "You too. Girl time."
"But, I'm her ..." Started Lance, but Kitty cut him off, "I couldn't care less if you were her Siamese twin. OUT!"
Grumbling, Lance left. Kitty turned to Ellie and sat on the bed next to her. Ellie gave her a half smile.
"Don't feel bad, OK? What you saw in the hallway, well, it was Kurt." Said Kitty, gently.
Ellie looked puzzled, and then she said, "But, I've just seen Kurt. He's .... normal."
"Of course he is, but that's what he really looks like, and as you know from your own reaction, people are afraid of him. He never led a normal life until he came here. The Prof. gave him a holo-watch. It gives him the ability to make himself look more, um, user friendly."
Kitty stopped and Ellie hung her head. Kitty continued, "You were his best friend, before the accident. Kurt was going through a tough time before you arrived and you helped him through it. He cares about you a lot."
"I feel like such an idiot. He must feel so bad. I'll go and see if I can find him and apologise." Ellie said. She felt full of shame. She couldn't explain why, but she was drawn to Kurt, and to know that she had reacted so badly to something that was obviously so important to him, was awful.
She grabbed a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a T-shirt and pulled them on and then crossed to the door. She turned to Kitty and said, "Thanks."
Kitty gave her a full smile and said, "Anytime. Those guys just try and out talk each other and end up getting things more confused."
Ellie laughed and opened the door, as she did Lance and Pietro fell inside. They had been crouched outside, listening.
Ellie stepped back and said, "Lance!" at the same time as Kitty said, "Pietro!"
The boys got to their feet and grinned at their girlfriends.
"Lance? Care to explain yourself?" Asked Ellie. She was trying to hold back her laughter, but managed to make her face look stony.
Lance's smile faulted, "I just wanted to know what you two were talking about?"
Ellie frowned at him, "I am allowed private conversations, Lance Alvers."
Kitty turned to Pietro, who looked absolutely delighted with himself, "And you? What's your excuse, Maximoff?"
Pietro grinned at Kitty, "I thought you two might be, you know, kissing or something."
Kitty smacked him on the arm and at one look from her boyfriends face, ran out of the room and down the hall.
"I love it when she runs!" Grinned Pietro and sped out of the room after her. Two seconds later they heard a bang and a thud. When Lance and Ellie reached the door, they saw Pietro lying on the floor and Kitty phasing out of the wall, laughing.
Ellie suddenly remembered about Kurt and went to walk down to the gardens. Lance fell into step next to her.
"What're we doing then?" He asked.
Ellie sighed, she really was getting sick of this. She had been back at the institute for two days and he had not left her alone for barely a minute. He'd even waited outside the bathroom while she used the toilet once. She was totally fed up.
"Lance, I am going to the garden. Alone. I need to talk to Kurt and apologise, OK?"
Lance looked slightly shocked, but said, "Well, why can't I come?"
"Because, OK? Just because. You are suffocating me. How am I supposed to remember who I am with you hanging over my shoulder? I'm sorry if you feel guilty about the crash, but this ends now."
Lance could feel the emotion coming from her and he backed off. He had seen what she could do when provoked. And that was when she could control her power. Now she was like a loaded gun in a child's hands.
"OK ... well ... I guess I'll see you later then .. if that's OK with you?" He mumbled and sauntered off.
Ellie shook her head. She set off towards the gardens and wandered around trying to find Kurt. She sat on a bench and suddenly a memory hit her hard, so much so it was like reliving it.
**"Lance is a user. He vill only cause you pain. I'm your friend, vhy not confide in me?"
"Why are you doing this? He's just a guy. He was nice to me, that's all. He didn't force me to kiss him. You don't own me, Kurt."**
She looked towards the house, yes, she had tried to walk away from him. But he wouldn't stop.
**"Ellie. This has all gotten out of hand."
She could feel the emotions rushing through her body and she pushed him. As she did she felt a bolt of energy go through her arms. Kurt flew back and smashed into a flowerbed, a hundred yards away. Ellie landed on her back.**
Ellie looked at the flower bed and the slid to the ground. Her mouth was open with shock and she could feel a faint tingle in her arms.
They had been friends, and she had hurt him, when he had tried to help her.
"What kind of person am I?" She asked out loud.
"A sweet, kind one, who got a little lost." Said a heavily accented voice behind her.
Ellie span round and saw Kurt, human form, standing by the flower bed.
She gulped and said, "I remembered something. We had a fight, over lance. Didn't we?"
He nodded, "Yes and you gave me quite a shock. I forgave you for it, in case you vere vondering."
"I'm sorry about before, I guess I'm still trying to get used to the fact that all of this is me, my life." Ellie stood up and brushed herself off.
Kurt smiled, "I forgive you again. You are really starting to owe me."
Ellie held up her hands, "What do you want?"
"My best friend back, please."
Ellie looked at him, she knew he was being sincere and she laughed, "If you can help me find her, you can have her!"
Kurt mumbled something that sounded like, "I vill remember zat." But said in a clearer voice, "Well, if I remember rightly, you do still owe me a movie."
"If you can get to your room without Lance seeing us then sure." Said Ellie. She enjoyed being with Kurt and didn't really fancy Lance following and sitting with them. She wanted to ask him some questions about who she was.
"Easy" Said Kurt taking her hand. Within seconds they were in his room.
They selected a video and stared to watch it. Ellie asked Kurt about something's that were bothering her, like the rest of the team, was she good friends with them all, how long had she been with Lance, and he answered them, thought she knew he was hiding a few things. After an hour or so, Ellie fell to sleep on his bed.
Kurt turned off the TV and video and said, "Not again." He picked her up and teleported to her room. He lay her on the bed and left.
