An hour later Kitty and Pietro had rented a car and were driving towards
the forest area. The time passed by, and soon there wasn't a soul within
sight. They were deep in the Black Forest. They whole hour they had argued
about Marissa and Angelo.
"I still don't see why you were flirting with him!" Pietro said lividly.
"How many times do I have to tell you? I wasn't flirting! He was just a nice guy helping out." Kitty replied an annoyed tone.
"Oh yeah." Pietro muttered, "I sure he was only helping for the goodness in his heart."
Kitty rolled her eyes, "Whatever." She looked out the window, "I still don't see why you care anyway. God is your ego that big!"
"Look." Pietro said, "I'm just saying that we have this whole act to pull off. To everyone you're my wife, so you should act it!"
Kitty turned to glare at him, "What about you and Marissa." She said the name with distaste.
Pietro looked at her, not sure how to answer her.
"So Kitty, where are we going?" Pietro asked, changing the subject.
Kitty paused for a moment, thinking. "I don't know. Just keep driving around." "What!" Pietro looked at her annoyed, before turning back to the road. "Do you just expect this guy to appear in front of us?"
Suddenly, a wolf jumped out in front of the road. Pietro hit the brakes, but the car wasn't going to stop in time. Turning the wheel hard, the car swerved. He turned his head to the driver side window, to see the wolf charging at them. He faintly heard Kitty's scream, as the car was stopping. A second later he felt a tingling sensation through his body, and found himself outside the car, with a very scared Kitty grasping his arm. It only took a moment to realize that Kitty had phased them out of the car. He thought briefly that maybe he should thank her. He had never done it before, but a bigger question was clouding his mind, did he feel the tingling sensation because he had been phased, or simply because she had touched him?
"Pietro!" He would have liked to continue rationalizing that thought, but someone yelled his name, namely Kitty, and a moment later she was in his arms. The same sensation went through him. Before he could begin to ponder this, he found his self face to face with a growling wolf.
"What is wrong with this psycho animal!" He demanded in an annoyed voice. "Kitty, wait here, I'll lead it off." Though he would have liked to have run with Kitty in his arms, who would watch the car? Besides that, when she was touching him, that was the only thing he could think about. Well, one of them anyways.
Setting her down, he took off running, right by the wolf. Confused, the animal turned and chased him.
"Pietro! Don't run so fast or you'll loose him!" Kitty called after them.
"Okay! I'll slow down!" He shouted back.
"Yeah, that's slow?" She mumbled as she watched his speed go from barley visible, to almost being able to make him out.
Suddenly, from behind her there was a 'bamf' sound, followed by the smell of brimstone. She turned around and gasped.
***************************************
After Pietro made sure he lost the wolf, he ran back to where Kitty was waiting. Only problem, she wasn't anywhere to be seen.
"Kitty?" He called out, hoping that she was simply hiding somewhere.
There was no reply.
"Kitty!" He called out again, this time more panic in his voice.
And once again, silence was all he got for an answer. Fear gripped him. 'They got her!'
Strangely, he found himself not worried about the fact he wasn't going to get paid, or the fact that Logan was going to shred him to pieces. Or not even the possibility that not all mutants were in danger. No, his only fear was, that "they" would hurt Kitty.
"KITTY!!!"
***********************************************
"What.." Kitty froze in a state of confusion. A moment ago she was surrounded by a lush green forest, but presently she saw nothing but stone and darkness. "Where.." She looked around, barely able to make out anything. That's when she realized she wasn't standing, nor was she sitting, someone was holding her. She quickly thrust her arms around her carriers neck "Pietro?" To her horrendous shock instead of finding Pietro, whom she would normally expect to find holding her so long, she felt fur and made out yellow eyes. "Put me down now!" She said in a slightly fearful, but more demanding voice. Now she was upset, not just because someone had taken her away, and she was very confused, but because she was mad Pietro wasn't there.
"Where I am?" Kitty demanded, putting her hands on her hips. And trying to focus her eyes on the figure before her. She moved towards it threateningly.
"Colm down." A male voice said, backing up.
"Calm down? Calm down!" Kitty felt her temperature rising. "You just kidnapped me!"
"I 'ave brought you 'ere for your own safety." He said matter of factly.
Kitty took a deep breath. "Okay..... who are you? And where have you brought me?"
The man cleared his throat. "My name is Kurt Wagner." He said with a German accent. "And I 'ave brought you to the Van Bach Castle."
"Are we still in Konstanz?" Kitty asked, beginning to feel a slight chill.
"Ves, we are. In the Black Forest."
Kitty was trying to piece everything together. "But why did you kidnap me? I was safe with Pietro."
"Dat vas Pietro?" He asked, an element of surprise in his voice.
"Yes."
"Vell, I am sorry then. 'ad we known we would 'ave brought him too."
"It's not to late." Kitty said, once again becoming agitated.
"True, but we 'aven't much time."
"What do you mean? Time for what?"
He took a deep breath then stepped into the light. Had I not been used to seeing somewhat scary mutants, I would have surely screamed. He stood a bit taller than me, and looked like a man, except for blue fur, a tale, and three fingers. "Let me explain," he began, "I am Dr. Kurt Wagner, a friend of Wolverine's......"
**********************************
Pietro stood anixously trying to think. Where could she have gone so fast? He scanned the trees for the slightest movement. That's when he saw it, the wolf. Pietro was sure the animal hadn't noticed him. He quickly moved behind some bushes and observed. The wolf made its way over to the car, then looked around. A moment later the animal, or what Pietro had thought was an animal began to transform. It's figure began to morph, it stood upright, and in a matter of seconds it was transformed into a woman. A young woman with an athletic physic, and short brown hair. A mutant! Pietro felt his blood begin to boil. Somehow they had tracked down Kitty and him, and now they had her. He wasn't going to allow this one to get away.
The girl looked into the open car, searching for something. She assumed that she was now alone, didn't bother to stay on guard. The girl saw Kitty's purse and picked it up. A moment later, she didn't know what had hit her. She wanted to morph, but she could barely breath. An arm was firmly around neck, and her ahnd had been twisted behind her back. She could feel everything going hazy.
"Tell me where she is!" Pietro's voice hissed in her ear.
The girl gasped for air. "I.....I...."
"Now!" Pietro said firmly.
Just as she felt herself about to black out, he released his grip.
"I'll only ask you one more time."
"Okay.." she said coughing. "I'll take you to her....."
