Chapter 5
Thanks to Logan's blood, Amy was up and walking around in no time. Xavier had done something to her mother's mind that he wouldn't tell them what it was, and so Amy got to spend a few days with Kurt and the X-Team. So far she hadn't exhibited any mutant abilities, and she was glad for that. She used to think that she wouldn't mind being a mutant, but now that she had seen them up close and personal and listened to some of their stories, she didn't think she really wanted to anymore.
" Kurt! Catch me!" Amy yelled as she slid down the stair banister on a skateboard, the one that Lance had left over when he was visiting Kitty. " Whoa!"
Jean picked her up off the railing so that she was floating in the air, and then she was gently set down in front of Kurt. The Professor quirked a little smile at the girls antics and thought that they should start bringing in some more younger children. Amy certainly was entertaining.
" I wanted Kurt to catch me." Amy pouted.
" And I didn't want to see you get hurt." Jean said, having become a little attatched to the girl; a patient who had quickly become a friend.
" Oh." Amy's pout transformed itself into a glamourous smile. " Thank you, then."
" It's time to go now, Amy." Kurt reminded her gently.
She had spent almost an entire two weeks at the manor, and even though Amy had inisted that she stay, Xavier had thought that it was best that she go. None of the others wanted to really see her go, but knew that she was human and had other duties. Plus, whatever Xavier had done to her mother wasn't permanant, and they didn't want a missing persons case on their hands.
" I don't want to go." Amy said, still smiling as she ran to Jean and Xavier, giving them each huge hugs, rubbing Xavier's bald head and giggling.
Logan and Kitty came from out of the kitchen, and Amy ran to Kitty, hugging her as well, whispering something in her ear before letting go and facing Logan bravely. Logan and the girl hadn't quite gotten along very well, her being too loud and rambunctious, and well, a kid for his liking. He hadn't been as playful as the other adults, and her prompting to try and pull him out of his seriousness hadn't worked. She had been very put off because of it.
She stuck her small hand out, and Logan only raised an eyebrow and bent down slightly to shake her hand. Quick as lightning, she was hugging his shoulders and even was able to bestow a peck on the cheek before running off to Kurt again, jumping into his arms and being teleported away.
They landed in her room and she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, burying her face in his shoulder. " I don't want you to go." She said, her voice muffled.
He gently took her arms off him and set her on the floor, handing her Nobeard and the few presents from the friends she had made, the t-shirt from Kitty, the portable chess game from Xavier, and the bag of puzzles from Jean. " I know you don't want me to, but I have to. You belong here, with your mother, no matter how horrible she may be."
That got a smile out of her, and she nodded. " I know, I know." She sighed. " Thanks for saving my life. That-" She stopped for a moment. " It meant a lot to me, that you took me to them instead of trying to get my mom's attention and letting her take me to the regular doctor. If you had..." She trailed off, not wanting to say it.
" You would have died." Kurt said softly, wincing to think how close his little friend had come to death. " It's scary."
Amy nodded. " I felt bad though."
" Why?"
" Because the whole time that I was consious enough to think, I wasn't thinking of my Da." She looked up at him with tears beginning to sprout in her eyes. " I was thinking of you and how sad you would be if I died and how sad I would be if I never got to see you again. And if I did ever get to see you again it would be because you had died." Her voice grew quiet. " I didn't want things to be like that."
Kurt was rocked with the feelings from her. She was so young, and yet the things that had been happening to her had somehow made her grow up a little more faster, robbed her of some of her childhood. He felt responsible for it.
" You're welcome." Kurt said warmly. " And I'll make sure that Jean and Logan get the message as well." He said, and then had to rush away, because Amy's mother opened the door.
" Oh, there you are!" She said, surprise on her face at her daughter. " It's time for your doctor appointment."
Amy smiled and nodded and went with her mother. She smiled the whole time, and kept smiling when her doctor announced that there was nothing wrong with her, that there was no evidence of anything anymore. She was going to have to do something nice for Logan the next time she visited.
