Author's Note- This part is slightly based upon the Peter vs. Pete fight in
the comics. If you're a fan of Piotr turn back now, he is not going to be
cast in a very good light right now.
Second Note- I also want to apologize for the whole name thing but as Caliente pointed out Kitty seems to have a penchant for guys with the name Pete. Pete will stay the same but Piotr with either be called that Peter or Petey.
Yet another Note- I tried and tried to find a song that worked for this but I couldn't instead I found two and couldn't narrow it down.

And Things Get Worse
~*~
Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground
I wake up lonely
There's air of silence in the bedroom and all around
Touch me now
I close my eyes
And dream away...

~*~
Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

Kitty and Pete were sitting under a tree kissing when Piotr approached.
"Katya, what is going on?" he asked obviously hurt. Kitty pulled away feeling a little guilty.
"Peter," she said. "This is Pete Wisdom, my, um, boyfriend."
"Why did you not tell me?" Piotr asked.
"Well, it, like, kind of just happened," Kitty whispered. "I'm really sorry."
"No, Katya, it is I who am sorry," he said. "I'm sorry that I ever thought you were even my type, it is obvious the type of girl that you are now."
"An' what type is that?" Pete asked standing.
Piotr looked down at him hard. "The type that would fall for the lines from a man like you."
"Peter," Kitty said hurt. "I didn't exactly mean for this to happen but before you never even acted interested in me."
"What just because I did not grope you I was not interested? At least now I know what you want in a man, from a man." Kitty flinched back as if hit. Pete laid a hand gently on her shoulder before glaring up at Piotr.
"Look, just because you missed out gives you no right t' `urt Pryde," Pete said stepping slightly away from Kitty because he recognized the coiled anger in the Russian even if his young girlfriend couldn't and wanted to direct that anger away from Kitty.
"Missed out!" Piotr shouted. Kitty winced taking an unconscious step backwards. "You stole her, you bastard!" Unable to hold back his anger Piotr punched Pete. Pete fell back and found himself facing Piotr in his full metal form.
"Oh, shit," he muttered as the huge mutant grabbed him and hit him again.
"Peter, stop!" Kitty cried rushing to help Pete. She stepped back in shock when he raised his hand to hit her. Kitty let the blow phase straight through her and realized that she couldn't do anything to help Pete on her own. She quickly ran back to the cabin and straight into Remy and Rogue's room. The confused couple sat up fighting over the blanket in a way that would have been humorous in any other situation.
"Guys, Peter attacked Pete," Kitty said almost crying. "He's in his armored form. I couldn't stop him!"
"Calm down, chat," Remy said. "Go back, we'll be dere in a second." Kitty rushed back to the scene, which had gotten worse. Pete had gotten off one good hit with his hotknives but was now unconscious. Rogue arrived soon after reaching out and touching Peter's face. The big mutant fell backwards. Rogue put her ring back on. Kitty ran to Pete softly touching his cheek.
"God, this is all my fault," she whispered.
"Chat," Remy said his voice hard. "Don't be stupid. Dis isn' yo' fault." Rogue had rushed back to the cabin and came back with a stretcher. They moved Pete onto it.
"Where do we take him?"
"Logan's camp," Kitty said. "Mr. McCoy is there." They put Pete onto the plane and pausing only briefly to grab Lockheed and their two bags that they hadn't unpacked yet Kitty took off. She landed at their camp thirty minutes later and rant to get Logan and Hank. They followed her back and carried Pete into the medical tent Hank had set up. As much as Kitty tried to convince Hank to let her stay she was forced to wait outside. Logan sat with her.
"How have ya been, half-pint?" he asked.
"Until just now? Great," Kitty whispered fighting tears. Logan wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Sobbing Kitty leaned against him thankful for his support.
"He'll be fine, kid," Logan told her gruffly.
"I wish I believed that."
"Care ta tell me who this guy is?"
"My boyfriend," Kitty said. "Pete Wisdom, and that's why Peter beat him up." Kitty looked at Logan with wide eyes. "Mr. Logan, he was going to hit me too, I couldn't get him to stop and he tried to hit me, if that hit had actually connected... I wouldn't have survived a hit like that from him... I don't know if Pete can."
"I repeat, half-pint, your boy will be fine."
"What if he hates me? This was all my fault."
"Hey, if any guy is actually worthy of you he wouldn't hate ya for something that you had no control over. Don't worry, kid. Everything is going to be okay." Kitty sighed leaning back into Logan's arms feeling more tears prickle her eyes.
"Why would he do this, Logan?"
"Look, kid," Logan said leaning against the wall still holding Kitty. "I'm older than you and by association, smarter. So let me share some of my wisdom."
Kitty almost smiled at that. "What?"
"People are cruel," he told her. "It's in human nature to hurt each other and betray each other. But if you're really lucky you'll find one person you can really count on."
"You're wrong you know."
Logan raised an eyebrow. "Am I?"
"I found..." she was silent for a second counting to herself, "seven. You, Miss Munroe, Mr. McCoy, Rogue, Kurt, Remy, and now Pete." She looked up into Logan's dark eyes. "What if I lose him?"
"You won't, half-pint. Trust me, he's gonna be fine."
Kitty smiled sadly. "Thank you."
