Summary:  HOMe and the X-Men rush to Kitty's aid.  Can they make it in time?

A.N.:  WARNING CONTAINS EXTREME VIOLENCE AND MATURE SUBJECTS!  I OFFICIALLY RATE THIS CHAPTER as "R",.  If you haven't guessed HOMe is now psychometric with enhanced Empathy, think the DEAD ZONE with a little "Crow" to get a good idea.

Chapter 3

Revealed to the fall of innocence

The entire X-Men Team was crowded into the X-Jet with HOMe.  Everyone's feelings shot to nothing because of HOMe's empathic relay, though that was not entirely all to blame.  The xenomorph paced back and forth as he held the note from Kitty.  He continuously rubbed it in hopes of seeing her face through it once more.

In the cockpit Logan was in constant contact with Professor Xavier, who was using Cerebro in hopes of locating Kitty should she use her powers.  Logan had a hard time understanding what HOMe meant when he first got his "visions", he kept screaming about an alley and a strange man with Kitty and then screaming.  It gave Logan and all the others a dark and heavy pit in their stomach, HOMe saw something happen, something terrible they could prevent, but could they get there in time?  Logan tried to push the doubt from his mind, but all he could think about was Kitty and the possibility that they would never see her again, at least alive.

"Any luck Charles?" he asked already knowing the answer.

"No." was the simple dark reply.  That's when HOMe started to scream.

The vision came with out warning, it was different this time though.  The alley was gone, replaced with a wide open field and a stage in the middle, a man in a strange garb held Kitty bye the arm.  Her hands were bound and her mouth was gagged, blood was pouring from several slashes on her head and arms, and HOMe felt nothing but rage.

~RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHH~ his mind screamed out and tore through the mutant's minds as he tore the door open and leapt outside into the cold night air of New York City, below him a gathering of protestors.

"Things are going to get interesting." Iceman said as he looked out the window to HOMe's plummeting form.

Kitty had made the biggest mistake of her life, and know she knew what it felt like to be nothing.  She had come to New York, searching for HOMe, and blindly trusted anyone that would help her.  She looked out upon the crowd before her, the "Friends of Humanity" had tricked her and now she was in their possession, she was their pawn and toy.  She could feel the blood pour from her wounds, wounds she would never have gotten if she hadn't trusted so blindly.  And now, now the "Friends", they were going to hang her for being a mutant. 

They had her in the noose, standing on the edge of a chair ready to kick it out from under her when the loud whistling sound came from above.  Then something plummeted through the stage sending splinters of wood everywhere and then the chair fell.  She could feel the rope tightening around her neck and squeezing the life out of her, she had no strength to phase through and so she resigned herself, accepting her foolishness.  Then the rope wasn't so tight as she felt her body lifted into the air by a silver and red angel before she slipped into unconsciousness.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

HOMe landed as he always did, with grace, his people blessed with the strength to fall from any height unscathed.  Now though, he was feeling weakest of all despite his great strength, for in his arms he held Kitty, near death and violated in many ways.  The weakness disappeared though as he felt a familiar feeling, the feeling he had when the beast in the field had threatened her life earlier.  The feeling he felt for the second time in his life was rage.

Setting Kitty down gently, HOMe turned on those he saw as the newest threat to his family.  The hateful humans had harmed his friend far to greatly to escape with a simple scare.  He felt the primal urges of his kind as he leapt from person to person slicing into them with a sadistic glee.  After the twentieth person fell he turned towards the stage and leapt at the man on stage,  a tall man he recognized as Kitty's former principal, now a senator. 

~You know Kitty-Queen's pain now.~ HOMe said as he touched Kitty's unconscious form and shuddered at the memories of her torture.  Then he lightly placed his hand on Kelly's head.

"A-a-are you my demon." Kelly asked, terrified of this creature that was obviously no human or mutant.

~HOMe is ALL humans demon.~ he said as he pushed forward on Kelly's head, letting Kitty's pain and memories flow into him, causing the bigoted man to shake and convulse with mind numbing agony.

Then the X-Jet landed, and HOMe left Kelly as he gathered Kitty in his arms.  His welcome was exactly as he expected, all of the X-Men stared at him, not as a family member but as a wild animal.  Only Logan was able to with hold his emotions, the others wore their shock like a their uniforms.  No-one spoke on the short trip back, they only watched as HOMe cradled Kitty letting an audible constant moan of grief emanate from deep with in himself.
