Hi again everyone. Once again, don't sue me; I don't own any characters or
anything to do with the show. Oh and thanks to everyone who reviewed, I'm
glad people like my story. Well, here's my latest chapter...
Chapter 2:
Kitty woke up to her alarm blaring. She rolled over, hit the off button and reluctantly pulled herself out of bed. She looked over to the bed on the other side of the room, to see it empty. Rogue's up early? That was unlike her. She shrugged it off and walked to the bathroom to shower. When she came back into their room, she noticed a towel lying on the bed.
"What? Why is there a towel on the bed?" Kitty asked herself out loud. Then it all came back to her. She remembered last night, how she couldn't sleep and Pietro had come. She wondered what had happened to him. She grabbed her school bag, and ran downstairs to eat breakfast.
When she got to the kitchen, she walked in to see everyone eating silently, which was weird. Breakfast was the only meal when all of the X-Men were there. She grabbed some cereal and sat down next to Kurt.
"Hey Kurt," She said cheerfully, but instead of the usual equally cheerful reply she usually got from Kurt, he only gave a muffled "Hi". She was a little surprised, but when she looked around at the people around the table, none of them looked very happy. She scanned everyone's faces, looking for an answer. From Amara to Rahne, and Bobby to Pietro, she found no answers. Wait. Pietro? What was he still doing here? She turned to Rogue, who was sitting on her other side.
"Rogue, what's going on, why's Pietro here? And why is everyone so out of it?" She asked.
"We all had to get up at three thirty for a meeting." She explained. "The Professor said that y'all could sleep in and he'd explain what happened to Pietro to y'all today. Everyone's dead tired and we're all a little shaken from hearing the story." Rogue said, while stifling a yawn.
"Oh." Kitty said, and looked back to the unwelcome guest; he was staring silently at his food. He didn't have his usual smirk on his face, in fact, he looked almost...sad. By the time Kitty was done her breakfast, most of the other students were all gone to school, and Pietro had disappeared somewhere. She went over and put her empty bowl in the dishwasher. She was about to go out to Scott's car to get a ride to school when Logan stopped her at the door.
"Hold on Half-Pint." He said, "Charley told me to send you to his office. It's about our newest member." Logan explained and pointed down the hall. Kitty turned around and headed towards the office. She knocked on the door and when she heard the Professor's "Come in." from the other side of the door, she walked in and saw Pietro sitting on one of the chairs opposite the Professor. Kitty reluctantly sat down in the other chair, next to Pietro.
"Kitty, you're probably wondering why you're here." The Professor started. "The reason is that Pietro has just gone through something very...traumatizing." The Professor said, a little hesitantly. Kitty looked at Pietro; he was looking at the ground, avoiding eye contact at all costs.
"What exactly happened?" Kitty asked, curiosity taking over.
"Do you want to tell her Pietro, or shall I?" Prof. X asked Pietro. Pietro looked at Xavier, then at Kitty's expecting face.
"I think you'd better." He said, almost inaudibly.
"Alright, well, as you know, Pietro came to us late last night with a very disturbing story. It seems Mystique has done something terrible to our poor Pietro here that I fear has done some psychological damage to him. She..."
"She attacked me! She was drunk!" Pietro interrupted suddenly.
"Would you like to tell Kitty the rest Pietro?" The Prof. asked Pietro.
"I might as well, she can probably already guess what a drunk woman would do to a hottie like me." Pietro said, sounding a little bit more like himself. Kitty was a little shocked; she could see where this was going. Poor Pietro. She thought to herself. Even if he was an arrogant jerk, she still thought it was awful to have to go through something like that.
"So why didn't you tell me when you told the rest of the X-Men this morning?" Kitty asked a little confused.
"Because, I feel that Pietro will need someone's help to get him through this ordeal. You have always been good at helping Rogue and others through hard times. I hope that you'll be able to help Pietro through this." The Professor requested, giving her a few minutes to let it all sink in. Pietro had withdrawn himself from the conversation again and was staring at the carpet. As much as he annoyed her, Kitty couldn't stand to see him like that.
"I'll do what I can Professor," she said.
"Thank you, Kitty. I will give you two the day off. You can spend time together and hopefully Pietro will open up to you and let you help." Xavier smiled approvingly at her.
Well that's the end of Chapter Two, I hope you liked it. I'll go into more detail about what exactly happened to Pietro in the upcoming chapters and the Romyness will start in the next chapter as well. R&R please!
