Chapter 7
"My powers?" I choked.
"Yes... Are you experiencing any difficulties?" His face was full of concern, like if the world exploded he still would only be focused upon my problem. I couldn't lie to him...
"Yes, Professor." I said eyes steadily falling downward.
"Kitty I know you haven't been with us long but I want to assure you that you can trust me."
Guilt stabbed at me. I hate my conscience.
"I know Professor, it's just..."
"What Kitty?"
"My... My powers haven't worked since that training day I got hit with the laser..."
"Haven't worked?" He asked, brow creasing.
"I have tried to use them but..." I trailed off.
"I see. Kitty would you object to having some tests performed upon you?" He asked.
Great. Tests.
"No Professor."
"Alright, I want to meet me in the Lab after you are finished. Enjoy your breakfast." He said, then wheeled out of the kitchen face looking distraught.
I stared into my cheerio filled bowl. It would be nice to be a cheerio. Just floating around in a bowl of milk. All good except the part about getting eaten. I sighed, and got up. I emptied my bowl in the sink. The cheerios would be spared today, I laughed to myself.
"Well might as well get this over with..." I muttered.
I left the kitchen, pulling up the mental map I created of the mansion. The red carpeted hallway stretched out before me, alright the lab was a left and the third door on the --- right?
"Should have drawn the map." I moaned, then began to search for the lab.
Fifteen minutes later, I felt very lost. I thought it was on the left, and I took it, but was only lead to a dead end. So I kept taking rights and opening doors, I found at least three studies, a library, and bathroom.
"Where the hell are they hiding that lab?" I moaned, taking the turn on my left. This place was a maze! I was passing a door when I heard.
'Kitty in here.'
I fell over. That door just talk to me!!! It took my brain a moment to analyze that doors can't talk. It was the Professor. I smacked my now red face and entered the room. Microscopes and tubes reigned throughout. Machines, of which I was sure I couldn't even pronounce their names, loomed around me. I hoped they wouldn't be used on me...
"Kitty..." The Professor started, Storm and he sat in the corner, "We are going to give few tests and take a DNA sample."
"What kind of tests?" I asked hesitantly.
"We will give objects of different densities and have you try to phase through them." Storm explained, pulling out a sheet of wood, cardboard, and paper.
"Please sit, and don't feel like were putting pressure on you, we are only concern with your well being." The Professor told me, rolling over to the desk.
Storm first picked up the wood, holding it in front of me.
"Try to phase this first." She directed.
I tentatively brought my hand to it, and only succeeded in tapping it's surface.
"Alright... now this."
She then replaced it with the sheet of cardboard, again I tried to phase; and once again no results.
"Now this."
The paper trial prove to be as fruitless as the last two trials.
"Professor, varying density have no affect on her phasing." Storm reported.
"As I suspected." Xavier said from behind the desk, then looked up at me "Kitty we will now proceed with a blood test."
"Okay." I replied, I hated this part, needles don't make me happy.
The Professor revealed a syringe, and Storm swab my exposed arm with alcohol. I closed my eyes. Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts... Kurt popped into my head. I reflected on all of the times I had woken up early on Saturdays, hearing his German accent... Hiding horrible crush I...
"Kitty we are finished." Storm informed me
I opened my eyes, and saw that the syringe was full and not in my arm. I didn't even FEEL it.... The Professor gave the syringe to Storm and she disappeared into the next room.
"That will be all for now, I will divulge the results tonight." Xavier said.
"Okay, thank you Professor." I replied, and then he left to join Storm.
I had less trouble finding my way back into the main hall; and I was beginning to feel a little bit of soreness in my arm.
'Stupid needle' I thought.
I thought about wandering around aimlessly but that wasn't very appealing, I had to much of a gift getting lost.
"Hey that could be my mutant power getting lost..." I muttered.
I stumbled over the living room, the T.V. looked inviting so I plopped down on the couch and grabbed the remote. Ah the idiotic bliss of T.V. At my house I never got to watch what I wanted because someone else was always using it. It was kind of nice having it to my self. I clicked on and it was the news, talking about some truck rally, with a really strong guy. I sat up. Strong guy... That was Blob! No wonder Mystique found him, the news had an entire segment on it. What should I do? I turned off the T.V. when a annoying cereal commercial came on. I could try with what I did with Rogue... But if Jean couldn't do it, what could I do? Make him an X-men. The thought of his huge body in a X-men suit sent me into a fit of laughter. That boy is HUGE! And he has a temper... I fell back, sprawling out on the couch. I shouldn't have this kind of responsibility. Knowing what's going to happen sucks.
"What are you doing kid?" Wolverine asked. He came into the room shirtless, covered in a film of sweat.
"Being lazy." I replied. He smirked. I did not like the evil look on his face.
"W-what?" I asked
"I see your feeling better."
"Yeah..."
His smile broadened.
"What?" I asked rather reluctant.
"That means you get to train."
3 agonizing hours later, I wondered if he remembered that Mystique HAD beaten the crap out of me. Although he wasn't going as hard on me as I've seen him done on the others.
"Come on kid, I feel like I'm reteachin' you everything I taught yah." He scolded.
"You ARE.' I thought silently, while repeatedly kicked an invisible opponent.
I heard a car come up the drive way.
"The others are finally home." He noted aloud, then sighing said "Yer done kid."
I collapsed on the ground. Ugh, I was all sweaty. I probably need to take another shower. I got up and saw Wolverine was already heading for the Mansion. Scott was parked and I could hear Jean and Kurt talking.
"I wonder if Kitty is awake." Jean said, using her telekinesis to carry her backpack.
Kurt smiled evilly,
"I'll go 'port in and find out."
"No wait Kurt if she not awake you shouldn't--" Jean started
*Bampf*
"--wake her."
"It's useless, he's really got a thing for her." Scott said, stepping out of the drivers seat.
"I know, too bad Kitty doesn't like him; infact I think she might have a thing for you." Jean smiled.
"W-what?" Scott choked, turning a shade of pink.
"Never mind..." She laughed, walking inside. Scott join her shortly.
I felt my breath catch in my chest. Kurt has a thing for me? No, no. Not me. Kitty. But still... I heard a crashed within the house.
"ELF!!! Next time think before you port!!!" Wolverine yelled.
"Zorry I was trying to find Kitty!" He apologized.
"She's outside." He directed, sighing.
Wait, I look like crap! I realized eyes growing large. I don't want Kurt to see me like this! I scrambled inside the mansion just in time to hear,
*Bampf*
"Kitty?" Kurt called.
I got to get to the bathroom! I ran up the stairs, past a confused Wolverine.
"Where is the bathroom?" I moaned. Why is it when you really need something you can never find it?!
I opened a few doors, finding guest rooms but no bathrooms. I reached for the next door handle...
*Bampf*
I threw open the door and jumped inside. Turning around I saw a reflection of myself, the toilet, and the shower. Ohh the shower, crisis over. With a sigh I sat on the toliet, that was close... When i went to stand I painfully sucked in air. Sore.. so sore... I didn't really notice it before because I was so worried. I looked at the shower again and decided that a bath would be much nicer. After turning on the tap I shed my clothes and slowly got in. The steam swirled around me, and I closed my eyes...
"Kitty?"
"Huh wha--?" I asked
Why was it so dark in the bathroom? I jumped when I saw the sun was going down, and my bathwater was leaning towards cold.
"Kitty are you okay?" Jean called from the hallway.
"Just a minute!" I yelled unplugging the drain while similtaneously putting on a towel. Great just what I need, proof that I need a babysitter while I bathe.
I opened the door, revealing Jean, clad in Khaki's and a sleeved shirt.
"The Professor wants to see us all downstairs." She said
"Oh." I replied
She looked at me quizzically, sort of conflicted, like she want to use her telepathy to find out why I was in there for so long.
"Ha, I kind of dozed off in the tub..." I explained embarrased.
"Oh." She laughed, "Don't worry our secret."
She told me she'd meet up with me downstairs and left down the hall. Meanwhile I went into my room to get dressed. My? Why not? It's mine for the moment. After putting my hair in a pony tail, and checking myself in the mirror, I continued downstairs. Every one was in the livingroom, Storm and the Professor stood up front by the fireplace.
"Professor what is this all about?" Jean asked as soon as I sat down. On the sofa chair Kurt grinned at me.
"Jean, everyone, we have a small problem on our hands." The Professor said waiting for reponse.
"What do you mean?" Scott inquired
"Kitty," He said gesturing to me, "Lately has had some ...problems... with her powers. Earlier today Storm and I ran a blood test and examine Kitty's D.N.A. The results were... Her X-gene has gone into regession...."
"What?" Everyone asked looking at me. The Professors eyes met mine.
"To put it simply Kitty, I haven't found why, but your powers have reset."
"What does that mean? I'm no longer a mutant?" I asked, feeling a deep dread.
"No, it means that your powers will need to remanifest... This usually occures with highten emotion." He explained.
"What can we do to help?" Jean asked
"No, I am afraid that this will rely completely on Kitty." Xaiver said
*Read and review* I am SO sorry I haven't updated in so long! Thanx to all who read this! Again sorry!!!
