Chapter 17
"End of The Line"

Pyro watched Professor Xavier's funeral, from the top floor balcony of the mansion, everyone was there attending even Kitty dressed all in black holding a single white flower. Pyro was dressed in black from head to toe as well, face flushed and still wearing those welding goggles covering his eyes. Everybody but, Kitty, Logan, and Storm, didn't know he was staying at the mansion. Pyro stood silently with his hood up listening to the service given by Storm, Logan came up from behind Pyro arms crossed.

"You're still here?" Logan said. Pyro stood silent, still focused on the service. "People won't forget what you did, I don't care if you were controlled or not you made your choice. You don't belong here anymore, You are partially responsible for his death."

"Xavier opened his home to me, he was there for me when no one else was. I didn't agree with his choices, I was angry at him for keeping the truth from me, but I never hated him. As far as I'm concerned he was my real father."

"If you believe that, why did you leave? Especially Kitty?"

"I have my reasons for leaving, not the same way you and the others think."

"Then what is the reason?" Logan hissed.

Pyro sighed and crossed his arms, "I'm dying." He said softly. "Legacy virus... I may only have a few weeks."

Logan closed his eyes and sighed, "John..."

"Don't... I don't need your sympathy. Xavier was right, I can only make who I am. I made this choice and I'm sticking with it."

"You're going back?" Logan scoffed. Pyro nodded, "What about Kitty? She deserves to know."

"I know..." Pyro walked back inside the mansion, into Kitty's room where he sat and waited for her. He didn't care how long it took, he sat there for a good half hour until the door finally opened and Kitty walked in. She stood there, her face was mixed with, shock and anger, nothing else. Pyro pulled down his goggles,

"We need to talk." Pyro said. Kitty stood there crossing her arms and face still flushed from the professor's funeral.

"I've should have know that something was wrong, right?" She said scoffing. She was angry then upset. "I mean, you don't seem to care what happened to the professor!"

Pyro's eyes flashed with anger, "I. Do. Care!" He spat his words with bitterness in his tone and it stung just by saying it.

"Do you?" sounding disappointed and desperate.

"You know haw difficult it was for me to come back? To tell you that I'm..." Pyro paused, catching her full attention. "Look, all I can say is that I ever meant to hurt you, none of this was meant to hurt you. I had a reason to leave, a reason that I thought you were better off not knowing. I don't expect you to forgive me for all the things I've done-"

"John, I forgave you the minuet you the minuet I knew you were safe I didn't cry every day not only because you weren't with me, but because I never knew if you were dead or alive."

Pyro nodded, "I never expected it to be this way, knowing that I had to come back to tell you..."

"Tell me what?" Kitty asked stepping closer to him.

"I'm dying, Kitten." Pyro said. Kitty felt like she was going to fall down at those words, she felt like she couldn't breath, "I got the Leg-"

"DON'T" She screamed, tears falling down her eyes, "Don't you say that to me..." She sobbed falling to her bed covering her mouth, Pyro sat next to her on her bed and lifted her chin.

"You are strong ShadowCat, you are the strongest person I've ever known." Pyro said in the softest tone possible.

"No..." She muttered, endless tears coming down her face.

"On your feet, X-man!" Pyro encouraged by lifting her petite body into a hug and pressed his lips against hers, she wraps her arms around his neck deepening the kiss until air became a priority. "I love you, Kitten I always will." Kitty pulled back to meet his gaze.

"I will always love you too." She smiled, Pyro stood pulling Kitty up with him, fresh tears glistening in his Hazel eyes. He got down on his knees and put his forehead on Kitty's stomach he them began to rub the slight baby bump,

"Take care of your mama, you here me kid?" He sniffed, letting out a slight chuckle. Kitty giggled with him letting a few more tears going down her eyes running her hands through Pyro's hair. "Goodbye kiddo, Daddy loves you. I know one day you will make me proud." Pyro kissed Kitty's belly and stood back up onto his feet he looked deep into Kitty Pryde's brown eyes, "Goodbye Kitty." Pyro put on his goggles, and waked backwards towards the window, the two were startled by the song that started to play on the clock radio, Kitty and John knew what it was. Their song.

Kitty smiled at him while sneaking in a couple of sobs, while Pyro jumped out the window and she began rubbing her stomach. She crawled onto her bed and lied down listening to her and John Allerdyce song. Pyro ran and Ran not looking back, the end of his life was near and he decided to go down fighting, he can't take back the choices he made. He wanted more than anything to be with her, but he knew it was not meant to be. Memories of their first dance, Kiss, intimate moment together all the happy times brought him peace. Enough to go down with love for Kitty Pryde and their child in his heart.
