Once in the darkened kitchen he met up with Kitty and Timmy.
"Hey man what was with the big rush earlier in the hall? Going somewhere special with the new girl?" Timmy asked with a small smile.
"No Timmy, we just picked her up from the Canadian Rockies, she's still scared of everything. We think she was tested on since she doesn't even remember her own name. By the way Kitty do you have some old clothes for her to sleep in tonight, maybe a t-shirt and sweats?" He explained to both of them.
"Yeah of course, I think I can come up with something. About what size is she?" She politely checked.
Both boys looked at each other before Timmy finally spoke. "A little bit taller than you, maybe more solidly built. I don't know for sure." He shrugged with a good guess. "By the way is she hungry or something, if I was her I'd be."
"Timmy stop thinking about food, and get her something healthy Piotr, like that ceaser salad in the fridge and an orange maybe." Kitty advised leaving up the stairs.
By the time he had found the salad, oranges and a bottle of water Kitty was back from grabbing her some clothes. Piotr left with a word of thanks as he headed back upstairs. He put the food on his bed and gently knocked on the door and handed her the clothes through the door. Within minutes she emerged and he was left staring at her in the light blue tank and dark sweats Kitty had given her. Her violet eyes contrasted her dark hair and milky complexion, to Piotr she looked like an angel.
He cleared his throat before speaking. "Here I brought you some salad and an orange with water. Kitty thought it might be good for you to eat something good for you."
She gave him a small smile, the first he'd seen out of her all day as she thanked him. She sat down and in a very lady like manner slowly ate; Piotr didn't know what to say so he just sat there as well. Finally she was down and drank the rest of her water before looking back at Piotr.
"What do we do now?" She quietly asked.
"Relax, sleep. Are you tired?" He replied.
She nodded and he placed the dishes on the bed side table, as he stood up she got beneath the covers of his bed and before he realized it she as asleep. He smiled at how exhausted she really was before turning off the light to go downstairs to talk to the professor. Half way down he heard his name being called from the sitting room where Bobby was watching late night news before heading off to bed. Once in the room he didn't have to ask questions as a familiar face flashed onto the screen, the same one that now slept in his bed.
"The genetically altered mutant is now in unknown areas, she disappeared from the testing lab this evening five hours ago. The security team that was monitoring her cell is still on the look out. She is considered dangerous and if you meet her please call the authorities right away; she has already seriously injured five men in the security unit. Once again her name is Brooke Paige." The newscaster continued as an older picture of Brooke appeared on the screen, she was younger, laughing and in the arms of a young man. "For those of you just tuning into the Paige story, a young girl of the age 16 was abducted three years ago from her family's ranch in Minnesota and has now turned up in a mutant testing agency which she has just ran from, her parents have set out to sue the company that took their daughter, they are Celeste and Gary Paige, two socialites with a estimated worth of three million dollars and growing."
Both sat there stunned as the story continued with the success of Gary's factories and Celeste's beauty line. They didn't know what to say, until Piotr moved and his brain worked again. He continued to the elevator and went downstairs where every he had left down there was still there.
"Her name is Brooke, Brooke Paige. The people on the news say she was taken three years ago, does anyone else know she's here?" He asked the room of people.
"Yes Piotr I already knew she was Brooke and no one else knows she's here, except Eric and I don't think he'll be going to the authority's who want her locked up." Charles calmly replied, with a faint smile.
"Where is the girl anyways?" Logan added looking around Piotr.
"She's upstairs asleep, should I tell her any of this when she wakes up? Are we going to tell her parents where she is?" Piotr rapidly fired questions at Charles.
"Don't worry about it Piotr she's in the safest place she'll ever find. We may tell her parents we have her when she understands if she stays here we can help her, we don't want her making any rash decisions just yet." Scott replied for Charles.
"In the meantime we need you to keep an eye on her at all times, she trusts you somehow and we cannot break that weak bond you have made. Now please go up to her, don't worry about her being in the boy's rooms where she wouldn't normally be. We'll tell you everything later." Charles reassured him.
Piotr nodded understanding everything that needed to be done, he also realized what little time they had. They couldn't keep her too long before going public and she needed to know who she was and fast before anything else happened.
