Chapter 6
"A beginning to an end"

The students quickly left the museum after hearing about a sudden mutant attack on the Whitehouse earlier that day. John got a harsh punishment for his actions, not a big surprise. Bobby and Rogue's physical relationship became complicated, they couldn't go after one little kiss without killing him. Other than that Rogue cheered up when Logan returned from trying to find himself. Kitty and John spent their 'after' curfew hours together catching up on some lost time because of his detention.

"Rogue, Was pretty upset today." Kitty said to John cuddled up next to him on his bed in the dark.

"So?"

"She wants to be able to touch people, John. Could you imagine me not being able to touch you?" She demonstrated by phasing her hand through his chest. John shuddered at the tingling feeling.

"Stop." He ordered. " He tucked in strands of hair behind her ear, "It'll suck but I'm glad I'm able to touch you, kiss you, and love you."

"I love you too." She said. Kitty and John began kissing to the point when John leans over her, placing his leg between hers trying to not put all of his weight on top of her petite body. The moment was heated in passion as he rested her legs around his waist, she moaned between kissing and John's warm hand running up and down her calf but she eventually stopped him. "John, wait." She spoke out. "We can't. Not until the time is right."

"Y... Yeah." He said laying back on his side resting his head on his palm. Kitty mirrored his posture and sighed. They sat lied down in silence.

"Poor Rogue," She said suddenly throwing off their much wanted sexual vibe. "She told me earlier today she wished that she was human."

"We can't change who we are, Kitten. It's in our DNA, none of us chose to be mutants."

Kitty frowned a bit, "When I discovered my Intangibility, I was taken in by the DPA. We did experiments, nothing cruel or anything. Just stuff that I spent my entire childhood going through that, they made me feel like a toy, and a ghost instead of a person. Or a mutant."

"You know sometime I just wish that..." He paused creasing Kitty's cheek.

"What?"

"Nothing, never mind." But Kitty sat up,

"Don't shut me out John. God you always do this! I tell you everything about me but you won't tell me about yourself. Sometimes I feel like I'm in love with a total stranger." Kitty argued. John sat up glaring into her eyes.

"You know enough about me! And I'm not like you Kitty." He snapped. "I don't explain my feelings to people, all I do is write it down in my journal. If you want to know me so badly then read it for yourself." Kitty shifted away, hurt and John mentally kicked himself. "Kitty..." He said.

"Do I mean anything to you?" She asked holding back the tears. John moved over to her and cupped her face in his hands.

"Yes," He whispered. "You do. I'm not a sensitive person when it comes to talking."

Kitty gazed into his eyes, "Then help me stop feeling like a ghost. Tell me about what you wished for." She begged.

"I wish that I can create fire, not just manipulate it. To see my full potential."

"But that's dangerous." She said.

"That's what Xavier says."

"I wouldn't want to see you get hurt, John."

John smiled, "How would I get hurt? My mutation prevents me from feeling high temperatures, or getting burned."

"Just... Don't take on more than you can handle." She said, pulling John in for a final kiss goodnight before Phasing up into her room just above his. John felt sorrow hit him and fell to his knees sobbing.

"Oh god... I'm sorry Kitty... I'm so sorry." John said, tears running down his face.

Two hours earlier

"I'm so sorry John." A voice said. John tried to shake off the shock, he began staring into the flame his zippo spawned.

"Can you keep this between us?" John asked calmly.

"Of course." With pure sympathy in the person's eyes. John began walking back to the dorms, the voice kept looping "I'm so sorry John." in his head. How was he going to break this to the girl he loves? How was he going to cope with this shocking new discovery? He didn't know how. John Allerdyce only had two friends and a girlfriend, no relatives. Not that many people who care but Kitty made up for that, because now more than ever he wanted to be with her.

4 hours later

John was sound asleep, he literally cried himself into his slumber, hours go by and John woken to the sound of a high pitched scream piercing his ears. A student was screaming about something. John looked up to see an intruder in his room, armed. John snatched up his zippo and threw a full stream of fire knocking the intruder back. As the scream ceased John sprinted out of his room to see other students run in fear and flashlights shining everywhere and more soldiers came around the corners. John threw fireballs at them, protecting the students who run away. Soldiers scream in pain as the scorching ember cover their bodies and passing out from the heat.

"John!" Bobby said the moment he saw John.

"Bobby?"

"Have you seen Rogue?" He asked. John got his Barings together and realized something.

"Kitty..." He muttered. "No, what about Kitty you seen her?" But Bobby shook his head,

"C'mon lets go find them." Bobby cried as the two begin roaming the halls looking for their lovers, avoiding the home invasion by an unknown force. The only thing John was able to think about was Kitty Pryde, despite what has been happening to the school and him.
