Peter took Kat to her room and set her down in her bed. She looked up at him and he sat down next to her. "Kat, what happened to you in the hall?" He asked her. "I keep hearing Jean's voice in my head. It's like she's trying to reach me
because she needs my help, and that time it was so powerful that it made me weak, and I could feel it draining me of my strength. I felt a connection with you, and felt I could trust you, so I called for your help. I'm sorry, I didn't know who else I
could call." "It's ok, actually, I'm glad you felt that you could trust me, I know this may sound weird, but I thought I could feel a connection in the infirmary when you were still unconscious, it was like you were letting all your emotions flow into
me." "I was. I could sense that I could trust you; I don't know how I can do that. The professor said it's just something a telepath can do." Kat's eyes were starting to feel heavy, and she could feel them starting to droop. "I'm going to let you go to
sleep. Goodnight." He kissed her on top of the head and then started walking out the door. "Wait, don't go. Will you stay here with me please, at least until I fall asleep?" "Sure, I'll stay." Peter sat down in the chair next to the bed and Kat looked
at him. She patted the bed as she said, "will you lay here with me?" He got up and slid into the bed next to her, putting his arm around her.
She curled up and laid her head on his chest. After a few minutes, they were both asleep.
In the morning, the professor decided he should check on Kat, so he asked Bobby and Rogue to go get her because Storm was teaching a class, Scott was off in his own world, basically unreachable, and Logan was off on a little mind-clearing
trip. Bobby and Rogue walked up to the door and knocked. There was no answer so they opened the door and walked into the room. Rogue had her camera in her pocket so she took it out and took a picture of Kat sleeping in Peter's arms. As
the flash went off, Kat and Peter woke up. "Tink, the professor wants to talk to you," Rogue said with a little laugh. Peter stood up quickly, his face red from blushing so hard. He kissed Kat on top of the head and knowing she was reading his
thoughts, told her in his thoughts that he would meet her in the kitchen when she was done with the professor. He left the room and headed to the kitchen to start making breakfast for him and Kat. Bobby went with him and Rogue waited for Kat to
get dressed and went with her to the professor's office. On their way, Rogue asked, "you really like Peter, don't you?" "Yeah, I can't explain it really. We just connected and I know I can trust him," Kat said with a smile. In the hall, they passed
Logan, who had just gotten back. When they got to the professor's office, they hugged and Rogue went to go find Bobby. As Kat went to knock, the professor used his telepathy to tell her to just come in. Kat opened the door and stepped inside,
closing the door behind her. "You wanted to see me Professor?" She asked. "Yes, I did. Are you feeling better today Kat? I heard that you had a little episode yesterday." "Yeah, I did. It felt like Jean was sending me another message, and it was
so strong that it drained me of my energy, but Peter helped me, and I'm ok now." "If you let me, I'd like to do a bit of an examination of your mind to see how you're doing." "Go for it Professor, maybe it will help you see what I mean by the
whole reaching out for help thing." The professor and Kat went to the infirmary and Kat laid down on one of the tables. The professor held his hands over her head and searched through her mind. As far as he saw she was fine, but he did see what
she meant by feeling as if Jean was reaching out for help, and he was really confused by it. He finished and moved back a little bit. He told Kat that she could go and she got up and went to the kitchen to meet Peter. The professor went back to his
office and summoned Storm and Logan. Scott had gone off on a little trip to clear his head; otherwise, the professor would've summoned him too. Professor Xavier was greeted by Hank McCoy, also known as The Beast. Apparently, the humans
had developed a "cure" for being a mutant. Storm was not too happy to hear this. "We're not a disease, why would they need a cure for us?" She said, very upset.
