Title: Of Love And Hate
By: Kim Johnston
Chapter 40: End of book 1
The girls took the news rather badly, they grived togeather before going their own ways to grief alone.
-Kitty-
Kitty sat on her bed crying. She looked up as Pyro walked in. "Sorry Kit. I got a little erran ta run." He said softly. "The twisted mansion needs a fire."
"I understand Pyro." Kitty sniffles. "Go ahead. I'll be fine."
"Sure lov?"
"Yeah." Kitty hugs him good-bye and watches him leave. She see's Pietro and smiles sadly. "Hey."
"Hey." He nods and walks in sitting beside her.
"How's it going?"
"Peachy." He lied. "I just found my girlfriend dead because she was dating me, she wasn't even a mutant... And I found my ex dead too. How should I be? Not to metion my ex was one of my teammates."
"We were like family." Kitty sighs, the two chat for a long time.
"Kitty, I need you to answer me... streight. No hints, no lies. Can you do that?"
"Sure..." Kitty says eyeing him.
"Do you like, like me Kitty? As more then a friend I mean?"
Kitty blinked. "Pietro, I love Pi- Pyro! I love Pyro." Kitty shakes her head. "I can't love you. I'm with Pyro."
"I know. How do you think I feel? pyro and me are close, like brothers. I hate having feelings for you. I hate it because I know it'll hurt him, or me. But it hurts me now not knowing... I had to ask Kitty."
"Yes." Kitty nods. "I have feelings for you too Pietro." In a instent they kiss.
"... Kitty? Pietro?" Pyro asked in shock at the scene he walked in on.
"Pyro!" They both gasped.
"Kit?" He looked down at them and then turned leaving, no longer confused.
-Wanda-
Wanda laid on the bed in her room crying. Her make-up worn off and sheets wet with her salty tears. The door creaked open. "Uh... Wanda?" Todd asked looking in. He spoke gentaly.
Wanda looked up, "Yeah?"
"You Ok?"
"I'm alive... so no."
"Don't say that."
"Why didn't Anya just kill me?"
"Maybe she couldn't. I'm glad that she didn't."
"So?"
"Yeah, my opinion doesn't matter. I'm just a no body."
"... Thats not what I ment."
"Yeah it is." Todd shruged. "I'm use to it."
"Your a great person Todd."
"And so are you. So why do you wanna die? Amara was a great person. She never said anything bad to me, never made fun of me... Sure she made bad choices sometimes but, she didn't desirve to die. Do we?"
"... No."
"Good." Todd smiles as Wanda hugs him.
"Thats Todd."
"No sweat."
-Magneto-
Magneto's phone rang, he picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hey daddy."
"Wanda?"
"No silly daddy. It's your other daughter."
"Anya?!"
"One and only, daddy."
"What-"
"Oh daddy you don't seem happy to hear from me at all!"
"What are you up to Anya?"
"Nothing daddy. I just thought I'd call and tell you all I was coming by. You know so you can come get me at the train station! Oh and make sure to tell mom to fix me up all of those yummm foods she use to make. I also have to met all of Pietro's friends, who knows, maybe I'll find a guy? Oh yeah, tell Wanda she'll have to clean her room and let me share it, that way we can have so much fun staying up talking about everything! - Oh wait, silly me daddy, I must be watching to much TV. That's a normal family. A loving family. A careing family. A family where the first born isn't treated like the Whipping-Girl! Get ready for some fun daddy cause I'm coming home." Anya laughed.
"Your daughter is here Anya."
"Good daddy. I know how much you hate failure. I won't fail this time." She hung up.
Erick looked up at the celling and whispered, "Dear god what have I created?"
"What's wrong?" Magda (A/N: Yeah, I was going my memorie on the spelling, I was only one letter off guys! Lol. Sorry, I forgot who corrected me!) asked walking in to the room and looking at her husband.
"Magda... Anya... she called. She is on her way here." He watched as his wifes face filled with emotions; Fear, Sadness, Anger, Hope, Relief only a few.
-Tabathia-
Tabathia sat on her bed crying. She had already lost so much and she couldn't bear to think of what was next. How much more could she - Ahhhhh! pain willed itself up inside her and she twisted in the bed, water flowing from between her legs. She didn't notice the blood was also speaping through her jeans and covering the bed spread.
Another shot of pain made her roll of the bed and into the floor. The shots continued untill soon she was washed into a black slumber.
-Rogue-
Rogue threw her pack over her shoulder and made her way out the door. She left no note. She doubted they would need one. Not like it would take much to figure out why she had left. They should all have a pretty good idea.
She took one last look around remembering all the good times and bad in the place she had grown to call home. Christmas here whould have been great... if the deaths of her friends weren't hanging in the air. She opened the door. "Leavin Chere?"
"What'er yea doin Remy?" She asked, she hadn't wanted to see him.
"Chere yea runnin away? Non Bye's? Non last words?"
"Yeah."
"Non." he stalked over to her, his eyes on fire with emotions. "Remy not exceptin dat. ' E can't." He grabed her around the waist and pulled her to him. "I love yea." He said simply. "And I can't lose yea. Not again. I was goin crazy when yea were gone. Tearin da place up. Gettin inta fights. I even called Belladonna, cused 'er out. Told 'er I was gonna kill 'er if yea didn't come back. Yea gonna do dat ta me again?"
"Ah can't stay! Who's next? Yea? Kit? Tabby? Mah family? Ah just got yea'll! Ah can't lose yea now. And Ah can't bare ta watch yea'll die! Ah just can't!" Rogue cries on his shoulder.
"Chere, please don't leave Gambit... Don't leave Remy... Don't leave ME!" He huged her tightly and didn't notice the missing choker as they kissed.
-Hospital-
Storm laid in her bed as the doctor lead Victor into the hallway to talk to him about everything. "Ororo, will be just fine in a few day's, a week tops. Mentaly it might be longer of course."
"The kid?"
"We had to do a seasection. The child, a boy, was dead. The stress from his mother and the cold water must have killed him. I am sorry." She was paged.
Victor listened as the briefed the doctor and found that a mixed woman was shot and dying. She was also in labor. There was no family.
-Tabathia-
Wanda found Tabathia half dead in the floor she, with help, rushed her to the emergency room. they slamed the door in her face after taking Tabathia back, they needed room and she wasn't going to help her friend any she would just hurt her. Wanda sat down outside and pulled out her cell phone. She dialed Kittys number.
"Hey! Kitty! You have to get to the ER!"
Kitty was confused and Wanda could hear yelling in the back ground. "Why? Whats wrong?"
"It's Tabby, she's in deep. Get Rogue. She'l wanna be here. And Tabby'll need us when she's better. HURRY PLEASE." Wanda begged. She had a bad feeling, they hung up and Kitty raced off to find Rogue.
She found instead a half awake, half crying, Remy. "Where's Rogue?" She panted.
"Gone."
"Where?!"
"Didn't say... But she won't be back."
"WHAT?! Oh god no. She has to come back! Tabathia's in deep!"
"WHAT?!" The three guys, Pyro and Pietro had followed Kitty, shouted.
-Hospital-
"Your up Miss Monroe, didn't think you would be anytime soon." The nurse smiled.
"Where am I? Who are you?... My baby?!" Storm asked confused.
"Your at St. Marys, my name is Carrie and I'm a nurse here. Your child is outside with his father, a Victor Creed?"
"Yes..." Storm calmed down a lot.
"Would you like to see them?"
"Yes." The nurse let Victor in.
"Hey." He smiled and sat down so she could see the child. "He needs a name."
"You name him, I'd end up saying Crime at this time."(Inside joke:KTY!)
"How about Alex Reed Creed?"
"Good god, my children are AAA."
"Could be worse, they could be ICUP."
"I guess... or KKK." She laughed and then fell asleep.
-Down in ER-
The nurse walked over and looked at wanda. "Your her friend... Is her family on the way?"
"She dosen't have any. I'm it."
"I see... She has lost a lot of blood. The baby is twisted the wrong way and we are about 30% for sure the cord is around it's neck. We don't know how much longer they will survie. We don't think it is possible to save them both, one seems to be pushing it now. Since you are her family, and she is not able to answer us... you get to choice. It's not a fair choice but there are 3 options. 1st, we focus on Tabthia. Forget the baby and hope for the best. 2nd, we focus on the baby and hope Tabathia turns out alright. And third, we try our best to save them both, but that will more then likly kill them both. You have about 2 minutes to answer. Time is important."
Wanda blinked in surprise. How could she make this decision? She was here by herself as well! Where was everyone?! She couldn't wait...
