Note: I do note own X-men or Marvel comics in anyway
Kitty jerked awake at the sudden screech of her alarm clock. She reached over and stabbed the button to turn it off. She reluctantly got up for the 5 am danger room training wishing she could stay asleep and keep dreaming her wonderful dream.
"No" she murmured shaking her head and placing the pendant on her dresser "training now, no more dreaming"
She pulled out her spandex uniform and got it on as quick as possible then phased her way downstairs so as not to be late.
"Glad you could make it today half-pint" Logan said coming up behind her
Kitty just forced herself to smile and remember the dream she had been having before the alarm woke her. She followed Logan into the danger room where several others were waiting. He turned on the simulation and the X-men prepared themselves. Nothing could have prepared Kitty for the shock she got when she saw what the simulation was of. It was the acolytes, but not just them but also the brotherhood and John was coming right at her with Lance not far behind.
"Argh" she cried out in an ear splitting scream covering her face with her hands
"Half-pint" Logan called from the control room "get up and fight"
Kitty realised she had fallen to the floor and force herself up and began to fight all the while repeating 'they're not real' over and over to herself.
Kitty sat outside on the grass that surrounded the school. She was exhausted from training and still had to force her way through a whole day of school. She felt a hand place itself on her should and she unwillingly flinched turning around to face the person her hands up and prepared to fight
"Whoa" Lance called holding his hands up in front of him in defence "what I do?"
"Oh sorry Lance" she apologised "I'm just a bit jumpy this morning"
"Anything you wanna talk about?" he question pulling her petite body into his arms
Kitty looked up into his eyes and saw they were filled with worry. She thought for a moment considering her choices. She really didn't want to tell him she single-handedly beat the crap out of a holographic him for training while she let Rogue take on Pyro did she? No she answered to herself in her mind silently so nobody else would hear and think she was insane. Though you could say she almost was since she was dating to guys who were both meant to be her enemy. One a scruffy earth shaker and the other a crazed fire loving maniac.
"No not really" she finally replied breaking away from her thoughts but falling back into them as soon as she had answered.
The shrill screech of the bell then pulled Kitty from her thoughts again and she found herself being pulled along by Lance. He stopped them a the front entrance of the school
"I'll see you at lunch" he said kissing her lightly but passionately before disappearing inside with Kitty following moments later to head to her first period class before she was late.
"I'll see you at lunch" an annoyed voice mimicked accurately from behind a tree that was near by "not if I can help it"
The figure then disappeared leaving only an angry burn mark on the tree as proof they had been there only moments before.
