A/N: I've got a lot goin on right now but a week isn't bad for an update. More angsty action stuff happening not just fluff enjoy.
Sitting down on her bed Kitty thought back on what has happened over the week and came to the conclusion that she had an inability to not make a fool out of herself when she was near Bobby. She decided that she would push it out of her mind for now and try and get some sleep. She'd deal with it in the morning.
It was a fairly slow Tuesday everything was relaxed and every time Kitty had seen Bobby he had acted like nothing had happened the night before. This was unexpected she was expecting things to be awkward between them until they actually had a chance to talk but his whole laid-back attitude was throwing her off and making her wonder.
It was at that time when Kitty heard Professor Xavier's voice in her head.
"I want all X-Men ready to go and at the X-Jet in 20 minutes. Kitty, Peter, you're both coming along you'll find suits have been placed in your closets."
Hearing this Kitty jumped out of her seat grabbed her things and exited the room as fast as possible. Upon opening her closet Kitty found what appeared to be a black outfit made of what seemed to be leather. After throwing on her suit which had fit her perfectly she ran to the elevator and hit the button to go to the basement. Everyone was getting on the plane while Logan, Professor Xavier, and Storm were checking the X-jet to make sure that everything was ready to go.
Kitty had never actually ridden in the X-Jet before and she was pretty nervous. It must have been obvious because it was still several minutes before they would leave when Kurt looked over at her and said
"Don't be nervous. It's not that scary."
"I'm not nervous."
"Then why are you phased halfway through your chair and biting your nails?"
"Oh"
Out of nowhere while Kitty was already embarrassed for being so nervous a very familiar voice came from behind her.
"Relax Kat. It'll be fine." It was Bobby. Hearing his voice made her face flush a lot, and boy was she glad he was behind her and not able to see. She could swear that every time she talked to Bobby he made her blush in different a different shade of red.
It few seconds later Logan came up the stairs on to the X-Jet followed by Professor Xavier on the lift.
"Everyone bucked in?"
"Yep."
"'Kay, just makin' sure don't want nobody fallin' out of there seat and getting hurt before we even get there."
"Where exactly are we going?"
"Can't tell ya that."
"Awe come on Logan."
"Nope. It's up to the Professor. Now stop whinin' I gotta go sit down."
Kitty was still holding on to her seat for dear life during take off despite the fact that it was a smooth take off and you could barely tell the X-Jet was moving. After Kitty had opened her eyes to see if they had even taken off, they widened and Kitty was confused and scared.
She was all alone. Again.
"This can't be happening, this cant' be happening. I must be dreaming. But if I knew if I was dreaming wouldn't I wake up?"
"It's possible."
"Jean? But, But you're dead." Kitty was in complete shock. Jean was standing in the cockpit door looking exactly like she did the last time Kitty had seen her.
"I have something to show you so sit down and enjoy the ride."
The 'ride' as Jean or who appeared to be Jean was taking what seemed to Kitty to be several hours. It didn't help that she wouldn't talk to Kitty or answer any of her questions which were running through Kitty's mind the whole time like: Where was everyone? Where were they going? When would they get there? Who was flying the X-Jet? It was the last one that concerned her the most because she was afraid that they would crash.
After what felt like forever Jean spoke up. "Come over here."
Kitty walked over to the door on the side of the X-Jet where Jean was standing.
"Grab something and hang on."
"Why?"
Kitty hardly had any chance but managed to grab a hold of a bar on the lining of the door before Jean unceremoniously tore the door from its hinges and let it go flying into the air.
"Look down!"
"What is it?" It was hard to hear over the roaring wind.
"What does it look like?"
"I don't know! The ocean?"
"No! Think smaller!"
"A lake?"
"Yes!"
"Why a lake?"
"It's Alkali Lake."
"So? What's the deal about it."
Kitty waited for a response, but there was none. She asked again and still there was no response. So she turned around to see if Jean was still there and as soon as she did she was falling. 20,000 feet up. Barely able to breathe but still screaming at the top of her lungs. After a minute Kitty resigned her self to the fact that she would eventaually make a cartoon splat on the ground, not even her phasing abilities could save her now. Her momentum would carry her too far underground. She'd never been phased that long and if she rematerialized while in rock, well she didn't want to think about it. The ground was coming closer, except it wasn't ground exactly, it was the lake. Closer and closer the water seemed to be getting bigger by the second. She tried to cover her face with her hands knowing that it really wouldn't do anything to help her but made her feel better as she was preparing to become flat. She closed her eyes and waited to hit the water. Kitty felt a sharp pain and then everything was black.
A/N: Yea a cliff hanger. Deal with it.
