Chap 5: Revenge and New Games
Scott had clenched his fists so hard he'd have marks the following day from where his nails had broke the skin and drew blood. Every guy in the room was equally pissed off, even Remy, who hadn't been there very long. Kitty was a sweet, gentle girl, who'd never deliberately hurt anyone, and they were united in the thoughts of serious maimage to Avalanche.
But they were all backed to one side of the room, as far away from the growling Nightcrawler as they could get. No one had ever really seen Kurt angry, he was usually so collected. It didn't matter that they'd never seen it; this side of him they all knew was dangerous. His fur was bristled, back arched slightly, fangs bared in feral snarl. Though none of them could speak German, they could translate was he was saying over and over well enough.
"I'll kill him, I'll kill him, I'll kill him, I'll kill him.."
***
"Is that why you've stayed away from him? From Kurt?" Rogue asked softly. "He thinks that you're mad at him for something."
"What?" Kitty looked up in confusion. "Why would he think that?"
"You haven't talked to him in ages, you know. You talk to him about everything, and especially when you break up with Lance. You haven't told him anything about this, and he thinks it's because you're angry about something."
"Oh. It's not that, its just"-Kitty's voice shrank to almost nothing. "Kurt could tell."
Rahne looked at her curiously. "Tell what?"
"He could tell what had happened to me. He doesn't even have to read my mind; he'd just know what had happened. I don't want him to go off after avalanche, it's over now."
"No its not," Jean said angrily. "He should not get away with something like that, Kitty."
"He didn't. Not without a severe concussion from where I whanged him over the head with a frying pan. Phased back up through the floor and brought it with me, right behind him and bam! He's out like dead fish."
Tabby finally broke her silence. "That was you?! I thought he'd finally p.o'ed Freddy one too many times. I can't believe Lance would do something like that!"
Kitty frowned. "I wouldn't have either. I don't understand what's with him lately. Its like he's become a whole other person." A terrible thought struck. "You don't think he and Mystique had a falling out, and she really killed him and is just pretending to be him to not freak you guys out?"
Tabby cocked an eyebrow. "Girl, she wouldn't care about freaking us, I think she'd enjoy it." A nice thought came. "Want I should blow up his room?"
Kitty laughed, "And clean it for him? No way."
Jean found a smile at the humor, and steered them back to the original conversation.. "But even after all that, why haven't you talked to Kurt? You'd feel better."
"I know, but I just-I don't want to rebound."
Jubilee caught it first. "The lighting brought that with it too?"
Kitty nodded. "Oh, yeah."
Rahne looked at them like they were missing a circuit. "Huh?"
Jubilee explained. "You want to go out with Kurt, but you don't want him to feel like the rebound guy, right?"
"Exactly. I need to just be Kitty Pryde awhile, you know? Fix myself on my own, if that makes sense. Besides," she blushed and turned her head down, "who said Kurt would want to go out with me?"
Rahne echoed the response of everyone listening, male and female. "Are you daft, girl? He's mad for ya! Everyone knows it."
***
"No joke," Remy said, looking over at Nightcrawler. Kurt flushed under his fur.
Scott raised his eyebrows. "What? You thought you were hiding it?"
***
"He was, past tense. After all, he's been with you," Tabby almost flushed at the memory, "miss tall, blonde and wild. And then there's Amanda, who didn't freak out when she first saw him. Me? What's so great about me to him?"
"Kitty"-Jean cut Rogue off before she could finish the thought. "Hope springs eternal, you know? Just give it time, you'll see."
"Yeah, I guess." Kitty looked up and smiled devilishly. "Speaking of time and hope, when are you gonna give Scott some and ask him out?"
"Me? And S-Scott?
**
"Ohh, she stuttered! Good sign, mon amie, very good sign," Remy said knowingly.
**
"We-I mean, I-I don't know! One minute its just us, so clear and open and we're good together! The next? Tarryn crawls all over him."
"He doesn't exactly like that, you know," Jubilee said.
"But he doesn't stop it, now, does he? (Sigh.)"
Amara frowned. "it might help if you dumped the dumb jock."
"Duncan isn't-" Snickers from every girl there stopped Jean from lying. "Alright, so rocks could teach him quantum physics, but he's not all that bad. Most of the time." She paused, "Its like we're never looking at each other at the same time."
**
"Exactly!" Scott shouted. "That's exactly how it is!" The fearless leader was forced to duck the empty coke cans John and Kurt threw at him to make him be quiet.
**
"Make him look," Tabby said. "Show him you're available and that you want him. And for god's sake, make it obvious that it's him you want! Guys are thick that way, you know." Every girl nodded in agreement.
**
Every guy just scowled.
**
Jean hmmed to herself. "I'll have to think of something."
Tabby grinned full out. "Make it lacy with lots of pleather. Actually, I think I know the perfect outfit for you to try. He'd love it!"
Jean blushed as red as her hair. "May god help me when you're through."
"Not kidding," Rogue laughed.
Rahne smiled, and in an attempt to lighten the mood, "I've got an idea for a game if anyone wants to try it?"
"What do you have in mind?"
"Guess the Underwear!"

New game, more laughs, I hope. Please review!!!
