My Biggest Fear, was always YOU
Chapter 2
What happens when you remember nothing?
"Kitten, wake up, please." Pietro pleads from her bedside, holding her hand carefully so he didn't move the IV in her arm.
"Any time now Pietro." Hank McCoy says smiling at the younger mutant. "Her concussion is fading, and normal brain activity is returning. She may have scattered memories of a week ago."
"I'm prepared for that, I just want her to remember, so that I can apologize. The one time that I needed my speed I don't have it." Pietro says bowing his head in shame.
"Pietro her own powers could have saved both of you, as well as preventing this from ever occurring. You can't place all the blame solely on yourself."
"Who are you two? Where am I? Why did you take me from my parents?" Kitty asks jerking awake in a daze.
"Katherine what is the last thing you remember?" Hank asks slowly as the image inducer shows her the Hank McCoy before the beast inside took over. If she had amnesia, he wasn't going to scare her. He didn't know what she would remember, he had to be gentle.
"I was standing inside my school and Lance totally brought the building down, but it was too fast for me to figure out how to use my powers, but right as something hit me, he saved me. I didn't want the kids at my high school to know about my power. I was scared to show it off, and it almost cost me my life."
"She has combined last week with the incident from her hometown six years ago. Lance nearly killed both of them, and her parents, by bringing down her high school around their ears." Xavier comments solemnly.
"It would appear so. Could we get her parents her quickly? They may be able to help her regain her memories." Hank adds hopefully.
"Yes, Jean and I can go tonight to pick them up in the X-Jet. This will save them the expense of traveling. They seem to be frugal people."
"It may also help cool them down a little, since they may see us as having placed their daughter in a dangerous situation."
Actually, her own X-gene did that for us." Xavier says heading toward the door of his office. "I had no part in putting that in the equation."
"So I'm suffering from amnesia from the building falling don around me, and I'm missing six years?" Kitty asks staring at Pietro, her eyes as large as dinner plates. "I'm not sure I believe you."
"Look at this." Pietro says pulling a mirror out of the nightstand drawer. "This isn't the thirteen year old Kitty Pryde, you are now nineteen and a college student." He explains as she glances quickly in the mirror before taking a long look, and having her eyes glued to the reflection on its surface.
"My hair, my face… everything has changed. Has it really only been six years? I look like a new person entirely. I look beautiful." Kitty says running her hands through her brown hair causing the mirror to drop to her lap. "Wow, my hair is so beautiful."
"Kitty, hat do you remember last?"
"Like I told you, Xavier and Jean were totally bugging me yesterday. They came in all high and mighty and totally decided to ruin my life. Jean like followed me around school all day, and cornered me on the stage. I can't believe her nerve. She is like a total biotch."
"Ok, well, better yet what do you remember of me?" Pietro asks quietly, the look on his face was the look of a person hoping against hope for a miracle.
"I remember that you were there, and that he was yelling at me about something about wanting him or something. I don't know, I've never had a boyfriend, well never had a serious one at least. I felt fear, like I just knew he was gonna hurt me, and I guess he did. I remember that he was yelling about you. When I think of him, I get flashes of memories, but nothing totally concrete. Every memory that I have of him is totally tainted with fear. Oh my God! What did I do?" Kitty asks crying. "Pietro, I don't know what I did." She cries as Pietro wraps his arms around her, hoping to calm her down.
"Kitty, you were trapped. You dated Lance off and on for over five years. You thought that you were in love, but everyone around you just didn't see what he was doing to you. I didn't see it until the two of you had been together for over four years, and by that point you wouldn't listen to me."
"What do you want Pietro? I have a life you know. Lance is expecting me in a few minutes. I have to be there." Kitty demands snidely at the pale speed demon.
"What do you even see in him? I saw him hit you yesterday, he threw you into a wall! How the hell are you going to go back to him? What would posses you to? Why would you want to?" Pietro screams at her, causing people in the park to look at them, and Kitty to blush violently.
"Listen Pietro," Kitty begins, her voice a deadly low whisper, "get out of my love life. You hear me? I will have to tell Lance if you don't stop messing with it. Lance and I love each other, and you are never going to be able to change that. If he knows that you are talking to me he will be furious. So if you want to be the reason he looses his temper this time and hits me, be my guest. But be prepared for him to come after you too."
"What do you see in him? What does he have that other guys don't?"
"He has my heart. Pietro, you would never understand."
"But you seem so honest, why would I not believe you? Why would I want to be hit?" Kitty asks in honest confusion. "It doesn't make any sense." Kitty adds placing her small hand on Pietro's.
"We have never been the best of friends Kitty, I want to be honest. I know that you can't remember much right now, and I don't want to mislead you. I know that one day you will have all of your memories back, and I don't even want you to accuse me of lying. To put it nicely we always got on each other's nerves. I'm willing to put the past behind and let us start over. All the things I did in the past were out of jealousy. Lance had you, and I wanted you."
"That is sweet." Kitty says with tears in her eyes. "I don't have much of a choice in the starting over department, it seems that ceiling beam made the choice for me." Kitty laughs softly. "I don't see a reason why we can't. I can understand being jealous, I'm human after all, we all have our moments of stupidity, and we all have our moments of jealousy. All is forgiven. I remember our conversation, well bits and pieces, before the building came down… but I don't see a reason why we can't. I mean, if I was talking to you knowing everything I don't see a problem now." Kitty smiles softly.
"Remy heard what ya did ta a defenseless girl." He says slowly to Lance who is tied to a chair with zip ties. "Remy don't like. A man never hits a woman, and a man never puts a woman in danger without her consent."
"Why do you care?" Lance asks dangerously in the dark room, regardless of his prone position.
"Ya don't have much room ta talk now. Remy wouldn't piss him off, if he were you. Now, Mags has sent me here to teach you a lesson. Since you are under his command, and you disobeyed a direct order. Mags is not happy."
"And why does he
care? She is my girlfriend."
"Well, she ain't anymore."
Remy taunts twirling his staff in his hands. "Mags has ordered Remy
ta make ya vacate the area. He has also ordered Remy ta strip ya of
yer powers, so Remy has a guest here." He says and opens the door
to reveal Rogue. "Mon chere here has recently discovered that she
can make a mutant powerless forever. Dis be Remy's plan." He
announces as a look of horror crosses Lance's face.
"Now this is fer all tha times ya were mean ta Kitty, and all tha times ya hit her, and all the times ya kept her from doing somethin she really wanted ta. Are ya sure yer ready for this?" Rogue asks mockingly removing a glove to reveal a pale white hand. "Ah know Ah am." She says ass she places he hand on his cheek.
