Author's Note- Another Kitty/Pete story, I'm stating that now so please
don't complain about it later. Well, I hope you guys enjoy this.
A little comic back history. Black Air is where Pete Wisdom used to work. It's a secret government agency. He goes AWOL when they're responsible for one of his friend's death. That is where this picks up. Also I'm going to go with the "Idles of the Cat's" idea that Logan and Pete know each other.

"So the English government has requested that we go there to help them shut down this agency, Black Air," Professor Xavier announced.
"Why?" Rogue asked.
"Apparently they were performing some experiments that the government frowns upon."
"So why don't they take the place out?" Scott asked.
"Some of the experiments are very dangerous," Xavier said. "They've created some things that could kill the police easily."
"Like vhat?" Kurt asked.
"Demons for lack of a better phrase," Xavier told them.
"Hold it," Kitty said raising a hand. "Demons? You want us to fight demons?"
"There are people in danger," Xavier said looking at her hard.
"Yeah, like us if we try to fight demons!" Kitty shot back.
"Katherine," Ororo scolded.
Kitty winced. "Sorry, professor, I just don't like the idea of battle with demons."
"I understand," Xavier said.
"They aren't true demons," Hank said taking over. "That is simply what they resemble. And you can hurt them, Katherine, they aren't incorporeal."
"That's good at least," Kitty said.
A few hours later
"So this is Dream Nails," Scott murmured looking up at the building.
"Well, let's, like, get this over with," Kitty said. She and Kurt proceeded to get everyone in. Soon they were fighting off the agents and the monsters at the same time.
Suddenly a voice came over the intercom. "This is Agent Wisdom, t' say: I'll see you all in Hell, this one's for Cully. You `ave exactly thirty seconds, you bastards." The next few instants were chaos. Kitty was thrown into one of the monsters, which proceeded to attack her giving her no time to phase, as everyone ran to the doors. She passed out not seeing the man who killed the creature and grabbed her jumping out of one of the windows just as the place blew.
Three days later
Kitty woke up feeling her entire body aching. She looked around to find herself in a badly kept apartment. "Hello?" she called weakly then coughed at the rawness of her throat. A man came in and sat next to her.
"So you're awake?"
"What happened?" she whispered.
"You were hurt pretty bad. The thing attackin' you, it's claws were laced with poison."
"Where am I?"
"My apartment."
"Why?"
"The hospital wouldn't `ave been able t' help you with that type of poison. I called me sister."
"Who are you?"
"Pete Wisdom, at your service."
"You're the guy who blew that place up."
"Ya got me," he said and mockingly bowed. "Which leads to the question: why were you there t' begin with?"
"To stop them."
"Well, I took care of that."
"My friends!" She coughed.
"Shh, don't talk so loud. Your throat was pretty damaged from that thing's teeth." She brought up her hand feeling the bandages and gasped. "Really you shouldn't be talkin' at all, Roma finds out and she'll kick both of our arses."
"But, my friends-"
"Shh." He stood and went to find Romany. Romany came in and checked on her.
"She's fine," Romany announced. "She should be ready to go home in a few days."
"Good," Pete said. "I'll be `appy t' get me bed back."
"Find my friends and you won't have to worry about that," Kitty rasped.
"You shouldn't be talkin'," Romany scolded. "Do you want irreversible damage t' be done to yer throat?" Kitty shook her head mutely. "Good. Now, you need to rest your voice for at least one more day. You need to stay in bed for one more day too. Now that she's awake I'm goin' `ome."
"Roma," Pete said, "what about cleanin' `er an' things like that?"
Romany smirked at her little brother. "I'm sure you can manage." With that the woman walked out.
"Damn it," Pete muttered. Kitty gestured for something to write with. Rolling his eyes Pete left and brought back and pen and a notebook.
Kitty quickly scribbled something down. "My name is Kitty Pryde, I live at the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters. Please call them, they're probably really worried, and I want to know if they're okay." She also wrote a number.
"An X-Man, huh?" Pete asked causing her eyes to widen in surprise. Pete smirked at her expression. "Ya don't work in black ops without learnin' a thing or two. I'll call `em but I'm not lettin' `em know where you are." She started to say something but he placed a finger to her lips. "No talkin' remember?"
Glaring up at him she wrote something down and underlined it four times. "Why?"
"`Cause, Pryde, people are gunnin' fer me. I don't need the X-Men to come down `ere and draw attention t' me." She frowned again and tried to sit up. He gently restrained her. "You're not in any condition t' move around. Remember what Romany said?" Still glaring at him she didn't move. "Now, I'm goin t' go get somethin' fer you to eat."
She quickly wrote something else. "I'm a vegetarian."
"Bloody `ell," he muttered. "Fine." He stood and came back propping her up to slide a few more pillows under her. Now slightly sitting up she was able to feed herself. "I'll be back in a few hours." He stood and left. A few minutes later she heard the outside door open signaling that he had left the house. Sighing Kitty finished her meal before sitting the tray on the bedside table and leaning back.
