Chapter 6: Search party

Logan was pacing the kitchen. It was midnight, but everyone was up. Kurt hadn't been found yet and Xavier was getting worried. He felt that he should have known that Kurt would go and search for her.

"It's not your fault Charles" Logan reassured him. "I'm sure he won't do anything stupid"

"That's not what I'm worried about" Xavier sighed, and didn't say anything else. Scott and Jean were searching all around the city for any sighs of Kurt or Kim.

Yet they found no sighs of him, they had been searching for three days now. Kitty was always close to tears. She blamed herself, though by now everyone had realised that this was mainly Rogues fault and Kitty had just intended to joke about it, like everyone did with her and Lance. No-one was talking to Rogue that much, mainly because she acted like she hadn't done anything wrong.

"I'm sorry Rogue, but even I think that you deserve to get in trouble for this" Jean said to her on the second morning

"Ah don' need any ov ya tah tell me that ah deserve what ah get" she snapped back at Jean, who glared and walked off.

Logan was probably one of the most worried. By the third night, they had all decided that Magneto was going to use Kim, and Logan was the only one with first hand experience to her strength and speed. He knew how dangerous she could really be, and he was worried.

Everyone was worried about Kurt; most thought he would do something stupid and end up getting hurt.

It was now 4 days since Kim had gone missing, they had searched everywhere that they could think off. Xavier was trying to use Cerebro to find her, but it wasn't working. She probably wouldn't be using her powers anyway; Magneto would be training her to fight fist to fist.

By the 5th night there was talk about forgetting about it and searching for Kurt.

"Magneto, are you sure that Victor should go up against her again?" Mystique sighed.

By this time, Kim's powers were 10 times better than before, she could wield a sword and throw daggers, just as well as Gambit can throw cards. She was speed training with Pietro every night and fight training with Mystique 10 hours each day, she had 8 hours sleep then she spent 3 hours learning each X mans weakness and strength. She was almost getting mechanical.

Only one thing powered her to do all this, and it was her hatred for Kurt, during her 3 hours of spare time, she normally sat in her room, crying and beating up her pillow, writing poetry or short stories, or she wandered around. But never for even a second did she forget that the source of this hatred was Kurt. He had lied to her. He had never intended to tell her the truth. He made her think that he loved her as much as she loved him, and he would suffer for it.

"I'm sure he can handle it" Magneto said idly, as Sabertooth got up, his nose had a plaster over it and he was very bruised. In a matter of a few minutes, he was down, his nose broken, for the third time this week and he now had a cut above his left eye where Kim had kicked at his face.

"O.k. I think we'll have to stop early, you can go sleep for a few extra hours tonight" Magneto said to Kim, as Mystique went over to Sabertooth. Kim nodded and walked back to her room. She had just entered her room when a hand covered her mouth; it was pale, almost white and very cold. She turned around sharply, knocking, who ever it was, over; she grabbed a dagger from her waist and gripped it, ready to attack,

"Kim hold it hold it!" Pietro was staring at the dagger.

She put it back into her belt, {What the hell do you want Maximoff?} she asked coldly, crossing her arms and glaring at him. He jumped up and leant against her wall.

"Nothing really, just to talk" he said casually, but there was a glint in his eyes.

{About what?} she asked slowly, still glaring at him.

"Well you're the only other teenager around, and I'm sick of the adults, and besides...." he said slyly before dashing over and putting an arm around her "You are a girl". In one swift move she grabbed his arm and twisted it around, locking it to his back.

{If you still want this arm Maximoff, then stay the fuck away from me} she warned him, before pushing him out of the door, and closing it. She walked over to her bed. She lay down and stared at the ceiling, she may have been filled with hatred, but she still loved Kurt, and it seemed that she would do forever.

"Logan! You can't I thought we'd decided to search for Kurt, Kimberly is no- one to be seen" Xavier said sharply to Logan, who was walking towards the front door.

"Charles, I know we have to find the Elf, but you know that I have to find Kimberly" he replied, not facing Xavier.

"I know Logan, but we need your help here, to find Kurt"

"If I find him, Charles, I'll send him home" Logan said before walking out, mounting his motorcycle and riding off.

"Professor, are you sure that Logan won't do anything stupid?" Scott asked

"No I'm not sure Scott, but he's not going to listen to reason" Xavier sighed.

"But why?" Scott asked

"Let's put it this way, Kimberly is like a little sister to him" Xavier sighed, "You'd do the same thing for Alex"

"Yeah...I would" Scott replied before walking back inside. Rogue had been listening,

'What is so special about her, everyone is tryin' to find her. If ah went missin' they wouldn' put this much effort in tah findin' me' she thought bitterly to herself. 'This jus' isn' fair, if it were jus Logan then ah could understand, but it's everyone'

She walked out into the garden, still thinking about it, then she thought maybe she should run away, then she could see what they did.

'But they won' even look fer me' she thought again, before she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Rogue, what are you doing out here on your own?" it was Jean, "We thought you'd gone missing like the others"

"Yeah and?" Rogue asked, crossing her arms.

"We were worried" Jean said

"Yeah righ'" Rogue said glaring at Jean

"We were" Jean said confused.

"Yeah righ' none of ya care abou' me" Rogue snapped. Before walking back inside, leaving Jean very confused.
