Chapter 10: Dare You To Move

-Welcome to the planet

Welcome to existence

Everyone's here

Everybody's watching you now

Everybody waits for you now

What happens next?

What happens next?-

The guns went off in rapid succession, lasers, spiky disks, bullets, all came in his direction, but Piotr barely even noticed. He just took his time, demolishing each weapon, envisioning them at the face of the man that had taken his Katya.

He was a normally a nonviolent person, but Katya touched his heart. He has been so nervous when he showed her some of his sketches, but the way her eyes softened and that soft smile curved her perfect lips made him truly believe that he had talent. No one had ever looked at his drawings like that before, not that many had seen them anyway, but she had really liked them, which had surprised and warmed him to no end.

The more time he spent in her company, the more he felt that he fit in. Sure, he got along fine with Bobby and Evan, but he sometimes felt he couldn't contribute to their conversations. He had also felt jealous of Bobby at times when he saw the Iceman with Rogue. It must be nice to have someone like that to care about and care about you in return. Although, when it came to jealousy, Piotr had been no more jealous of anyone than St. John Allderyce.

When he had first arrived at the Institute from Russia, he had been captivated by Kitty's beauty and overall happiness. He could have watched her for hours and have been content. Just looking at her made him less homesick, then he met her boyfriend. Of course, the good girl would be with the bad boy. John was contemptuous and jaded; Kitty was beautiful and kind. She balanced John, why would she want to be with a guy who spoke in broken English and pretty much babbled his sentences in her presence?

Some of the sketches he had not shown Kitty were the collection he had of her. Bobby and Evan may think he didn't know how to crush on a girl, but he did, he was just subtle about it, unlike them. He sketched Kitty from memory many times. Some with her happy, some of her bored, some of her profile, some of her concentrating in class. He even had a few of her with other people; his favorite was the most recent one he drew with them all at the lunch table. Her face contorted in mock horror as she gaped at Pietro, Jubilee was glaring on jealously, Rogue and Bobby were flirting, and Evan was stuffing his mouth, while He was watching Katya with a look of adoration of his face.

Now she was gone! The thought caused another surge of anguished rage to surge through him and he completely destroyed the laser gun in front of him. God knows what they were doing to her and he couldn't do anything. He should have been there to protect her.

-I dare you to move

I dare you to move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move

Like today never happened

Today never happened before-

That morning, he had wanted to go visit with Kitty for a little bit, maybe show her some more sketches. But, on his arrival at her room, Theresa Cassidy had informed him that Kitty, Jubilee and Rogue had gone to the mall.

He had gone downstairs and was unfortunately pulled into a football game by the other guys, which of course, led to guy talk. Bobby confessed about his problems with Rogue and how they were slowly growing apart and he felt that he could barely talk to her anymore. Things had just gotten distant between them ever since John had left them for the Brotherhood.

Evan had told them all about some 'chick' he met at the mall while out skateboarding. After an uncomfortable conversation about her, um, attributes, he told them he about the date he had planned for them this coming Saturday.

Pietro had surprisingly claimed that he was starting to like Jubilee. Which was good, since it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Jubilee had been crazy about him for a long time. Bobby had congratulated him on finally getting over Kitty, which had caused my blood to spike, but I relaxed. Pietro was nothing more than Kitty's best friend.

Then they turned to him. He must have flushed twenty different shades of scarlet over Kitty. They had all urged him to ask her out, but he was nervous. What if she said no? Pietro told him that it was physically impossible for Kitty to say no to anything he asked of her, but that didn't help too much. Kitty was so much better than he was. Plus, according to Rogue, Kitty had a past with bad boys, which he was not.

"Oh please," Pietro had scoffed. "Pryde and bad boys? She got over that phase, excuse the pun. Why do you think she and John broke up?"

Piotr could only shrug at him, causing Pietro to roll his eyes. "Because of you, Idiot. Kitty has been star-struck over you since you walked through those oak doors."

Needless to say, Piotr hadn't believed him. Kitty had always said that she and John got together at the wrong time and didn't fit at the moment. He wasn't ready for their relationship and neither was she to tell the truth. What if she still loved him?

-Welcome to the fallout

Welcome to resistance

The tension is here

Between who you are and who you could be

Between how it is and how it should be-

"You're going to turn the Danger room into a pile of scrap metal." Rogue commented, entering from the simulator room once I had finished that level.

"It'll repair itself, it always does." Came his reply, as he shut off the session, resetting the security codes.

"Do I even have to ask what's got you in a mood?" Rogue sat in one of the chair, once we returned to the simulator room. "We're going to get her back, Piotr."

"I should have come to see her yesterday morning sooner, then she wouldn't be in this mess." He grumbled, dropping into a chair himself.

"Don't you dare start blaming yourself." Rogue admonished. "Because you weren't even there. I'm the one who left her alone. If the guy had drugs, I wouldn't have done much good, but I could have bought her time."

"It's not your fault either." Piotr shook his head. "I just, we don't even know what they're doing to her."

"The worst part is, we don't even know who they have on their team, what we're up against." Rogue sighed. "Like the guy who nabbed her. Who knows what powers he possesses."

"I can't stand this." Piotr let out an anguished yell, which was uncommon from the usually stoic Russian. "If they hurt one hair on her head, I'll kill 'em!"

"You'll have to get past me first, Buddy." Rogue slouched. "I'm so worried about her. Kit's my best friend."

"She's my…" Piotr trailed off, unsure of what to call her. "She's my Katya. I'm in love with her."

"I know." Rogue smiled at him gently. "Trust me, the feelings mutual on her part. She's been gaga over you since forever."

"Gaga?" He looked at Rogue bewildered.

"Crazy about you." She explained, laughing. "I forget that you're not as good as translating slang yet."

"Da, it's hard for me." He shrugged. "It was worse when Kitty first was here and my English was very limited. Her valley-girl accent, it was like a whole new language."

Rogue laughed. "Thank god she dropped that, huh?"

He chuckled. "It was cute, but I couldn't understand her. She's not the only one who dropped an accent though. You don't sound so southern anymore."

"Yeah, well, I live in New York now." Rogue smiled sheepishly. "Hey I got you to be happy for a few minutes."

Piotr gaped at her for a few minutes, before cracking one of his rare grins. "Yeah, usually it's only Katya that can do that."

Rogue smiled wistfully. "You two deserve to be happy together."

"I'd like nothing more than to be with Katya." He sighed. "She's perfect."

Rogue, Peter, would you two please report to my office. I believe we may have found some information regarding Kitty. Professor Xavier spoke to them telepathically and the two silently stood and hurried to his office.

By the time they reached the Professor's office, everyone else was already there. Pietro and Jubilee were sharing the small couch in the corner, Storm was leaning against the mantle on which Nightcrawler was perched on, Scott was sitting tensely in on the Professor's leather chairs, Logan was leaning against the wall in the corner, Evan was sitting on the window seat and the Professor was behind his desk. Rogue crossed the room and took up post beside Logan and Piotr sat in the other unoccupied chair beside Scott.

"Seems as though we have a friendly little bird from Magneto's lair that gladly dropped us a hint of Kitty's whereabouts." Professor Xavier offered them a small smile. "Someone who Magneto would never expect to turn on him and I'm grateful, as Cerebro hasn't been able to track Kitty's whereabouts."

"Who gave you the info and where's Half-pint already, Chuck." Logan barked from the corner. Patience was never his strong point.

"None other than his own daughter." As if on cue, a young woman entered the office. She was dressed in a long red trench coat and a black ensemble underneath. Her dyed red hair was cut short, almost boyishly short and she wore a heavy extent of smoky make-up.

"Wanda!" Pietro leapt to his feet and embraced the woman, who made a face, but embraced him back. It was then Piotr noticed their striking resemblance.

"Everyone, this is Wanda Maximoff, Pietro's twin sister. They're both the illegitimate children of Eric Lehnsherr, only, we know him as Magneto." The Professor smiled.

"You're related to that Bastard?!" Bobby cried incredulously,

"Unfortunately. He treated Wanda and me like dirt, we hate him." Pietro shrugged. "You two timed him!" Pietro turned back to his sister.

"Of course I did." Wanda shook her head in annoyance. "I figured that if you stuck with X-men they can't be so bad, so I got info and joined."

"Awesome." Pietro grinned broadly. "So, where's Kit?"

"Here in Westchester." Wanda shrugged. "Not too far."

"Well, we should suit up before they hurt her anymore." Logan remarked.

"They wouldn't hurt her. They just want her to join the Brotherhood because of her power. Oh, and her friend too. They won't hurt him either." Wanda added.

"Friend?" The whole group exclaimed in unison.

"Yeah, tall guy, trench coat, demon eyes, nearly blew Pyro to smithereens." She looked uncomfortable under the all the stares she received.

"Wait, the guy that carried her out o the mall is her friend?" Pietro gaped at his sister.

"Yeah and she sure knows how to pick 'em. If you ask me her friend is damn fine." Wanda shrugged indifferently. "A little protective though. John was telling us about it, when he kidnapped Kitty. Said he threw something and it exploded, sending him flying back on his ass about six yards from where he and Kitty were. Took Sabertooth to knock him out."

"Sabertooth?" Logan growled feral-like, causing Rogue to place a restraining hand on his arm.

"Yeah, what are you people deaf?" Wanda exclaimed clearly irritated.

"No, just shocked. We thought that guy kidnapped her." Rogue sputtered. "No wonder she didn't put up a fight, he was her friend."

Piotr sank back into the chair. Another guy, with the way he dressed he was a bad boy, the kind she normally went for. He didn't stand a chance, why did he even think that he did? Katya would never like him like that, no matter what Rogue or anyone said.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go." Logan snapped, marching out the door, Rogue and Pietro hot on his heels.

Piotr sighed, she may not love him, but loving her was enough and he would not let her suffer at the hands of Magneto. So, he stood, held his head high and walked out of the office, following the other three to the lower levels. It was time to save Katya.

-Maybe redemption has stories to tell

Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell

Where can you run to escape from yourself?

Where you gonna go?

Salvation is here-

After a quick scramble to change into their uniforms, everyone made their way onto the Blackbird. Cyclops and Storm sat in the cockpit ready to pilot the plane, Wolverine and Nightcrawler took the two seats behind them and Rogue and Colossus behind them. Iceman sat directly behind Rogue and Spyke took the seat beside him. The Professor, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Jubilee brought up the rear.

"I've got the coordinates." Scott muttered tersely to Storm, who was fiddling with a few of the keys.

"We're ready, take her up." Storm replied.

"We're going to kick some Brotherhood butt." Rogue whispered gleefully to Piotr. "And we'll save your girl."

If only she really were mine. He thought, before shaking his head. Save her first, worry about your relationship status with her later.

Piotr to the rescue! I felt so bad while I was writing this. Poor Piotr, first he was jealous of Pietro, now Remy. The Rescue chapter is coming up. Here's a sneak preview for ya!

"That the best you got, Pryde?" Boom-Boom sneered, three new bombs glowing in her hands.

"For someone who's fighting without her powers, I've got a whole lot more, you babbling twit." Kitty clenched her teeth in determination. "Now get the Hell away from my friends."

"Kitty!" Jubilee shrieked. "You're okay."

"Oh, I'm better than okay. I'll be peachy, once I knock this bitch out and finish giving Lance a royal ass kicking." Kitty narrowed her eyes.

"You tell 'em, mon Shadowcat." Remy cheered from behind her, winking at Rogue. "De school isn't the only one who taught de Petite how to fight."

"Face it, Boom-Boom, not only can I kick your ass, but you're way outnumbered." Kitty grinned.

Piotr glared defiantly at his former roommate. "You should have known we'd come after her, Pyro!"

"This is the best that came after her, Popsicle and the Tinman?" Pyro laughed, already flicking his lighter.

"You can't even come up with your own insults, those are Logan's names for us." Bobby snapped.

"Pyro, let's quit talking and get rid of them already!" Lance was clenching and unclenching his fists, ready for a good fight.
