Chapter Sixteen.
A/N: Sorry for the long wait on the update but I guess it doesn't matter because not many people are even reading this fic so my incentive to update kind of waned. Anyways for you Aqueous – I'm posting this chapter up for your sake mostly and to kind of get this story out of the way quickly.
I don't own X Men Evolution.

After spending most of the night tossing and turning, Kitty finally fell asleep peacefully in her room. Admittedly getting to sleep was quite a task, considering that in a few hours she would be leaving her entire life – the only way of life she'd ever known behind. So many things weighed heavily on her mind... her father... her sister... Pietro.
Outside her window however, stood two shadows,
"The time has come. You move tomorrow night." The taller of the two whispered huskily.
"And what about Pietro? Are you sure he won't try and interfere?"
"Don't worry about Pietro. I have a pretty good idea of how to handle with him."
The small figure let out a slow yet maniacal cackle.
"Fear not Kitty but you're in for a rude awakening."
***************************************************************************
Pietro walked up the stairs and headed for Kitty's bedroom. He sighed to himself at the thought of her being so far away but he still wasn't fully convinced that he should join Xavier's team. He truly loved Kitty but Magneto was his father – and you can't turn your back on family. Or can you?
"Knock, knock. You all packed?" Pietro's large blue eyes stared at her intently.
She smiled at him. "Almost. I just have to figure out how to get my half of the room into this little suitcase."
"So I guess that leaves no room in there for me?" He raised a fist to his heart, pretending to be hurt.
Kitty knitted her brows together and sat down at the edge of the bed. "Pietro, everything has been so up in the air – I mean between finding out that Kory and me are mutants, nearly getting killed and moving to a new place, we've never really talked about your part in all of this."
He shoved his hands into his pockets and shrugged. "I'm not... exactly sure... what my part in this should be."
"Where do you think it is?" She chewed on the corner of her lip.
"I don't know... probably with my father – even though I don't really know what he's got planned either." Pietro slowly walked over and took a seat beside Kitty.
"Would I be totally selfish if I said that I wanted it to be with me?" She took his hand and guided it up to her cheek, soaking in the warmth of his skin. "I need it to be with me."
"Oh Kit, I love you so, very much but I can't come with you to Xavier's - you know that. I can't defy my father... I just can't." He gently removed his hand from her grasp.
She cast her eyes downwards, whispering quietly... "I just don't understand why you're willing to stay with someone, to offer yourself up so freely to a cause that's so obviously wrong."
"He's my father Kitty! My family – the only one I've got."
She looked at him, her eyes slightly glazed over. "You've got me. Aren't I important to you?"
He closed his eyes and swallowed hard. "That's not what I meant Kit."
She smiled weakly, eyes now locked onto his. "I know. Hold me, please?"
Pietro enveloped her a warm hug, passing his hand along her back reassuringly. What was going to happen to them? He had promised Kitty that they would always be together, he had promised himself that he wouldn't ever let anything happen to her but now things just seemed so complicated. How could he protect her when he couldn't even protect himself? He wasn't even certain of what they needed protection from – although it's inevitability was dead on.
When the couple finally emerged from each other's arms, Pietro gave Kitty a quick glance over. *You're so precious – what would I ever do without you?* He moved a strand of hair away from her eyes and slowly gravitated towards her. "I love you Kitty, never forget that." He closed the small gap between and captured her lips in a world of sheer ecstasy.
***************************************************************************
The drive to the institute was quiet. Kitty still shaken up by the long goodbye between her and her father not to mention the fact that Kory wasn't even there to see her off. She rested comfortably against the headrest of the car, her eyes fluttering from exhaustion.
Pietro glanced over at her and smiled. "What are you thinking about?"
She sighed somewhat sadly. "How weird it's gonna be not having you next door. I miss you already."
"I'm only a phone call away Kit. Plus I can come over anytime you want." He removed one hand from the steering wheel and placed it onto hers, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
She smiled at him warmly. Little did they know of the danger lurking in the backseat.
"SAY GOODNIGHT!"
Pietro's car swerved furiously on the winding road, Kitty screaming loudly.
"Pietro what's going on? Pietro? Pietro?" He wasn't there. "Pietro where are you?"
A loud horn honked and Kitty screamed even louder as she came face to face with what seemed to be a large vehicle - her sight blinded by the huge, bright headlights. The loud honk came again, drawing closer. She tightly shut her eyes, ready to face her impending doom.
