Chapter 2 - Desperation
Kurt walked around the warm and comfortable room. Rogue wasn't with him this time. She had gone to tell Professor Xavier what had happened.
"Kurt, man! Relax, she will be back in a blink of an eye!" Evan said patting Kurt on the back.
"Yes, you're absolutely right, Evan!" Professor X said while getting into the room with Rogue and Logan right behind him. Ororo was out in a recruiting mission in Brazil.
"I will try to track her down through Cerebro and then I will tell you all." He added looking into everybody's eyes.
"She may be with the Brotherhood, right? She couldn't had gone too far, you know, because of the snow storm." Jubilee said with concern on her voice.
Of course, the thought of Kitty being with the Brotherhood wasn't very good.
"If Alvers do something to her, I'll get him." Scott said and looked around the room for support but everybody seemed too worried to talk, as if they would throw up if they tried.
Scott had always had a strong feeling towards all the young mutants, as if he was their big brother, and obviously he just hated Lance Alvers, the Avalanche.
Jean seemed to have found her voice somewhere and said:
"Scott, we don't even know where she is. Don't worry yourself like this, and this is for you too Kurt. Stop walking around, you're all making me dizzy."
Now, along with Kurt, five extremely worried Jamies were walking around the whole room in different directions. They all stopped suddenly and looked at Jean, as if she was a strange monster, and started to walk again.
The hours crawled by like years. Every minute seemed to be an eternity. There were mutants yawning, others were asleep on the couch and others were already on their beds upstairs.
But Kurt wasn't keen of the idea of sleeping now. His eyes were wide open and his ears were sharp, just waiting for strange noises.

Professor Xavier was extremely tired of looking for Kitty everywhere with no success. He was starting to think she was dead, because Cerebro wasn't able to find a trace of her. It was like if she didn't exist anymore.
"Maybe she had found a way of blocking her mind against Cerebro, of course if she did it, it was unconsciously." Hank, the Beast said looking at the blank screen of the huge computer.
"Or maybe she is really dead." Logan said shaking his mug of coffee towards the computer.
"Logan! Please, don't say such a thing." Hank kind of pleaded looking at Logan who wasn't even paying attention to what she had said.
"Think with me, McCoy. Cerebro has always found every mutant everywhere. The question is: Where the hell is Half-Pint?" Logan said looking at Hank who still frowning at the huge screen.
"I still believe she is alive and she is so worried and afraid that she blocked her powers and mind." Hank said with another frown.
"If she is danger she must use her powers." Logan said. "And after all she is fine. She is tough."
"You just said she might be dead. You really have schizophrenia. The problem with Katherine is that she is fragile. She is not, how did you put it? Tough." Hank said making sure he had said the last word really angry.
"She is not a little piece of a crystal. For Heaven's sake." Logan said and added "What do you think, Charles?"
"I'm glad you two stopped fighting and we can think of other matters together. I really don't know what happened to Kitty." Professor Xavier said looking outside the window and turning off Cerebro.
There was a harsh knock on the door and Rogue's voice echoed all over the hall outside:
"May Ah come in?"
"Sure." Professor Xavier's solemn voice answered.
The goth mutant got in the room and looking at everybody's faces he said:
"You didn't find Kitty yet, right?"
"Not yet. But I still hope that she will get in touch with us." Professor Xavier answered and looked up at Logan and Hank, who were about to have a disagreement again.
"I hope so." Rogue said and got out of the room followed by a disappointed Xavier, a worried Hank and an angry Logan.

Kurt was still awake in the living room. No sounds, except for the occasional snores coming from Evan. He got up and walked around in the room again. The fire that once was crackling in the fireplace was now extinguished. The small place looked cold and sad. Snow was still falling down outside. He wished Kitty would get in touch with Jean or Professor.
'God or Goddess or whoever is there in Heaven, please let Kitty find her way back home. Or if she is really lost, help her to keep her cool and asleep until someone find her. Amen or whatever.' Kurt thought panicked while looking through the window, searching uselessly for Kitty making her way through the snow in the garden.
Kurt looked once again at everybody sleeping in the room and got out, closing the door slowly while coming out and silently thanking everybody for staying with him.
He walked toward the kitchen to have a snack before going to sleep and make some phone calls.
It would do no good to be the only worried guy right now.
