Chapter 13
"Bad Days"

Pyro sat in a bar with his hood up trying not be noticed by the humans, since his face was on national television during his attack on times square. It has been a couple of weeks since Mystique got herself captured to find out where the most dangerous mutants were being held to recruit them into the Brotherhood. This was Pyro's time off even though he was under age he didn't care. Some of John's old tricks like a fake ID managed to be some of use to Lucius. As he downed the remaining contents of the double shot of whiskey, he hears a special news report on the TV coming from Alcatraz island. Apparently some old geezer named Worthington turned the once old prison into a facility to supposedly find a cure to the mutant problem, "That's all bullshit, you can't cure what's part of you." Pyro thought.

"These so called mutants are people just like us." Worthington said. Pyro snorted while signaling another glass of whiskey,

"Yeah, right..." Pyro thought.

"Their affliction is nothing more than a disease, a corruption of healthy cellular activity. But I stand here today to tell you there's hope. And this site, once the world's most famous prison, will now be the source of freedom for all mutants who choose it." Worthington continued, then held up a tube, "Ladies and gentlemen I proudly present the answer to mutation. Finally we have a cure."

Pyro's eyes shot a flare of anger, and in a fit of rage he threw his glass at the TV shattering it at impact. The bartender grabbed him by the wrist,

"You're gonna pay for that!" The bartender spat. Pyro smirked and took down his hood,

"I'm having a very bad day, homo sapien..." Pyro growled, his body then thermal detonated setting the air on fire destroying the entire bar leaving nothing behind except for Pyro who walked out of the burning rubble untouched thanks to his mutation. Pyro put back up his hood and began casually walking down the street towards the direction of the Brotherhood sanctuary. As he returned Pyro was still letting out steam from hearing the announcement. He walked up to Magneto,

"They just announced it!" He said. Magneto turned to face him in his chair,

"Thank you." He replied. The news spread like wildfire throughout the mutant community, Magneto decided it was best to create an army for a war the humans sought to start. Knowing Xavier and his X-men will pose a problem, but Magneto didn't seem to worry neither did Pyro.

"We can't wait any longer." Pyro said pacing.

"Then we must act quickly." Luckily for Magneto he knew just the place by handing a flyer to Pyro. Pyro inspected the piece of paper,

COMMUNITY ACTION MEETING
Holy Trinity Church
7pm Thursday
NO HUMANS ALLOWED!

Kitty may be pregnant but she was still maneuverable to do the day's danger room simulation, Scott skipped coaching again, he took Jean's death really hard. Logan had to step in as a substitute, Kitty was four months pregnant but still barely showed as she ran from the impending dangers of the simulation with Bobby on her heels. A missile came right at them but the Iceman shot it down with his ice blast. Just as Bobby turned to give Kitty a smirk she gasped at another missile coming right at them,

"Bobby!" She cried hugging onto him phasing both of them through the missile.

"Thanks, Kitty." Bobby smiled, still in each other's arms. They stared at each other until they were broke apart when the entire team was brought together, Storm and Logan kept arguing back and forth until Logan stepped up and unsheathed his claws.

"Hey tin-man," He said to Colossus, "How the throwing arm?"

"Logan, we work as a team!" Storm argued.

"Yeah good luck with that." Logan scoffed, he nodded to Colossus who formed his metal skin and grabbed Logan and threw him up in the air into the fog of smoke, down came a severed head of a skyscraping robot. Logan came from behind it, "Class dismissed." he said. The simulation was over and the room shifted from a burning apocalypse into a steel room. Storm wasn't too happy about Logan's lack of teamwork skills, The kids up and headed down to their locker rooms. Kitty was sliding out of her X-suit her baby bump was showing now from just in her sports bra, Kitty was sore and her belly ached and rumbled. She had to get use to the fact that she is eating for two now making her twice as hungry. Kitty turned to see Rogue pretty upset about something as she was changing back into her clothes, she doesn't know why she's upset. Kitty opened her locker and a flash of sorrow fell upon her expression as her eyes locked on a small artifact standing on the top shelf, John's Shark decal zippo lighter. Kitty gripped the lighter in her hands, it brought her so many memories of John fiddling with it every time she saw him.

Kitty never talked about it but the lighter she was holding was a Christmas present given to him from her. She and John spent their Christmas and new years at her parents house back in Illinois. John at an early point threw his old shark zippo against the wall breaking it in two in a fit of anger. Kitty had the one she held expertly crafted from stainless steel making it 'unbreakable' with the same shark decal printed into it. John with her and her parents for a month became a part of the family and it was during new years John and Kitty felt closer together then ever. Kitty pulled the casing off the lighter to look at the engraving one more time, which was new to her and she smiled while shedding a single tear for her lost and undying love.
