Ch26:
Kitty looked in the mirror as Mrs. Pryde cuts her hair. Tami and Jenny had put large amounts of gum in her hair and Kitty couldn't phase after her demonstration earlier that day so there was no other choice, but the girls were in big trouble.
"Kitty, it will be ok, this is a nice length for you anyway."
"Yeah to my chin is the greatest look ever mom." Kitty says tars falling down her cheeks. (A/N- Think the Excalibur comics. Or if you have seen the very last episode of Evo. Where Xavier is telling about the future, that hair cut. That is a ton of hair to cut off at once!) "And everything was going so well."
"What was so great about today?" Mrs. Pryde asks.
"I'll let you guess."
"Does it involve boys?" Kitty nods. "Hmm...I bet it has something to do with Remy LeBeau."
"How did you guess?"
"Tami came down and told me that you were happy about something, and I knew that that was who called."
"You don't miss a thing, do you?"
"You'll never get anything past me, Kitty."
"One of these days I will."
"We'll see. And it doesn't count if I'm eighty."
"Darn! And I was going to wait until I was nearly 60 to get something past you! What kind of a person do you think that I am?"
"All done."
"It actually... looks nice! Wow!" Kitty says.
"That's good. Now, I'm going to go punish Tami and Jenny." Mrs. Pryde says leaving the room and closing the door behind her.
"I forgot to call the Institute! Crap!" Kitty dials the number quickly.
"Xavier Institute." Storm says.
"Hey Storm!"
"Kitty, we were starting to worry."
"Sorry, I haven't seen my family in a while. They got me doing tricks for them right when I walked in the door."
"Yes, Charles picked up on that. It was irresponsible Kitty, someone could have seen you."
"Yeah, so what! They all already know and it wasn't out in the open." Kitty says. "Well, I just wanted to call to check in." Kitty hangs up her cell phone. "The nerve, what is it with everyone trying to just tear me down all of a sudden?"
-Xavier's-
"Has she called yet?" Xavier asks.
"Yes, and I told her that it was irresponsible to use her powers like that."
"It was, but I believe that she knew that. As long as it wasn't in the opn where she could have been seen."
"Why's it matter Chuck, they already know about her."
"Logan! She still shouldn't flaunt it, but I think that something else is wrong also." Storm says.
"I think that she just needs an attitude adjustment." Logan says leaving.
"Just ignore him Storm. He never was the best with dealing with teenagers."
"So I've noticed, but Charles I'm worried about her."
"As are we all."
-Acolytes-
"You're acting like a fool, Remy." Melinda says.
"He doesn't bloody care, but I can't really blame him. He's been waiting for bloody forever."
"How long has he been waiting?"
"Nearly a bloody year."
"Der ya go again, talkin about Remy like he isn't here or don't have ears."
"Does it surprise you?"
"Non."
"Good, you should expect it if I'm in the room."
"Remy knows dis."
"Maybe you chose the wrong bloody Shelia, mate."
"Don't say dat. Remy don't believe dat, thinks dat he chose de right one."
"They act so bloody alike."
"Kit and I are not that much alike. We just both have fun teasing Remy, he'll live, and we both know that."
"Mon Chere makes it worth de teasin, ya don't."
"I would say sorry, but I'm not like that. What did she say about us going to go get Rogue?"
"Wait until she gets back. She says it'd be easier fer her ta get in dere and back out."
"She has a bloody point. I think I know why Mags made her bloody go to Xavier."
"Yeah, Kit is smart. I don't know what I'd have done if I had had to go there."
"Probably screwed it up."
"Thanks for the boost in confidence Remy."
"Anytime fille."
"Do you really think that is so cute? Newflash, it's not cute at all!" Melinda says walking out of the room.
-Kitty-
"Jenny I know that you were behind this." Kitty says.
"Honestly I wasn't!"
"Yes you were, my mom heard you talking about it to Tami."
"I would never do that! Honestly Kit! Do you think that I am evil or something?"
"Not evil, just vengeful, you were taking care of you sister, and that's always a good thing, but I didn't do anything to deserve having gum put in my hair."
"But you yelled at her!"
"She was eavesdropping. I had a right to, she was the one who did something wrong, not me."
"But Tami is-"
"Go to your room, I'm sick of arguing with you." Kitty says causing Jenny to run upstairs crying.
"Maybe you were a little harsh, Kit." Mrs. Pryde says.
"Maybe, but my hair was valuable to me. I loved it and she took it away, she has to learn what she did was wrong."
"Maybe, I'll talk to her later. She just thinks that she was defending her sister."
"Yeah, what's for dinner?"
"Ramen noodles and some milk or juice, you get to choose."
"Oh, is that all that you all have been living on?"
"Yeah, ever since your father left. I can't get a job because they need me too much and it would cost more for a babysitter then I make, plus everyone knows that I am the mother of a mutant who I am very proud of, they won't let me in their stores."
"How are you getting food?"
"Mainly the grace of God. I still have a few friends who will do things for me. Kit, I would hate to keep you here, so I think that it would be best if you stayed in New York."
"But I want to help! You are my family!"
"I understand, but I have been talking to a friend of mine, I think that I may have a way to get money for us." She smiles. "You still look tired, maybe you should go to bed."
"Ok. But I still want to help."
"I appreciate the offer Kitty, but you have a bright future, you can't stay here, the people here don't understand you, you're doing much better in New York. Go there and have fun."
"I'm getting a job when I go back, I'll even sell my car. Just please let me help."
"No, and you can't sell your car because the title is still in your father's name. You're only 16. Enjoy being young. Now get back up to bed."
"Ok." Kitty says sighing and going up to her room right then her phone rings. "Hello." She says trying to be cheerful so that no one would know.
"What's wrong mon Chere."
"Nothing."
"Dat's a lie."
"Yeah, I know. It's just a family thing."
"Ya've got it rough dere, don't ya?"
"Kinda, it's difficult to say. I'm not sure when I'm coming back to Bayville. Get Rogue out for me, please. I don't want her there any longer. It can't be good for her."
"OK mon Chere, what do ya want Remy ta tell her about ya when she asks?"
"Tell her that I was going to get her out but that my family needs me too much now. Remy I have to get some sort of job that pays well. I have to. They are living on Noodles and cheap juice. That's it."
"Mon Chere-"
"No Remy, this is something that I need to do. She doesn't want my help, but she's going to get it. I just wish that at least one of my cousins would have a mutation so that they could go to one of the groups. It would make it easier. But the boys are only 10 and the girls are only 8."
"Den it may happen any day."
"I know, that's what I am counting on, even though she'll know that I am not with you all anymore, I think that they are too young to go there anyway. It's not a very... child-friendly environment."
"Remy'd have ta agree dere."
"I'm just afraid that something will happen to me. I can't afford it now. I have to take car of them, and I have some growing up to do before I can."
"Don't force yourself chere."
"They need me. They won't admit it, but they do need me."
"Remy thinks dat-"
"I know what you think. But I have something to tell you, it'll shock you." 'I'd better tell him about my hair before he sees it. I don't want him to not recognize me or something.'
"What?"
"I think that my cousins would make great Acolytes, their sense of humor fits, they put a ton of gum in my hair and I had to have it cut off to just below my chin." There was silence for a minute. "Rem?"
"Sounds like a nice haircut. Dey would fit in here just fine." Remy laughs.
"Just wait until you see it."
"Remy can't wait."
"I can tell, and I think that you were worried for no reason."
"Really? Have ya been outside?"
"No, but before they caused trouble here. Nothing has-"
"Kitty! Someone is here to see you?"
"Who is it?"
"I'm not sure, he says that he needs to talk to you about something important."
"Ok, I'll be there in a minute." Kitty sighs loudly. "We just always get interrupted. Well, I'll just have to call you back, and don't worry, I'll be fine." Kitty hangs up the phone muttering something about him being annoying but sweet. She walks downstairs. "Hello."
"Hello Katherine, may I speak with you for a moment? I was sent by Magneto."
"Oh, really? Ok, can I have your name please?"

Hmmmm... I wonder who it is! Lol!
