A/N THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEWS they ment a lot to me. Sorry to that one reviewer, I wasnt able to get a glimpse of PYRO in this chapter, but things are leading up till then. so just HANG ON TIGHT!

Jessica Tell shook the huge hand of Piotr Rasputin and noticed it was colder and firmer then most hands. She saw his fingers were metallic and she stepped back. Piotr made a fist and his entire arm turned metal, he looked like he was in pain, but all his skin turned into the shiny steel he once had. He hugged Kitty and she squealed. Suddenly the door burst open and Logan popped his claws out, if it weren't for Piotr's armor, the blades would kill him. Jessica gave a yelp and it cracked the windows. Logan saw that Kitty was unharmed and let himself out.

"Who the heck was that?" Jessica asked as she looked at the broken windows.

"That was Logan. He's kind of like a father to me; so he's really protective." Kitty took Jessica's arm and started to skip down the hall towards her room. Piotr turned flesh again and followed the two until Jessica pulled Kitty into the public bathroom.

"Ok so you, like, have to tell me everything about him!" Jessica urged. Kitty just smiled and leaned against a sink.

"Well, he's nice, tall, very… not the guy Bobby is, but he's cute." Jessica turned on the taps of three sinks.

"So have you guys…uh… you know?" Jessica whispered.

"WHAT! NO! Never!"

"Never say 'never'." Kitty turned off the taps and followed Jessica. Piotr was over by the front door talking to some guys when he heard the door to the bathroom open. He turned and walked to the girls, ignoring the guys' whistles and jeers. The three finally reached Jessica's door and found it was locked. Kitty phased through and tried to find the key.

"So you like my friend?" Jessica could see him blush a little bit, so he ran a hand through his hair to hide it.

"Yeah I do. Well… there are some complications like age, but yes, I do like her. She is the nicest woman I have met here."

"Wait! So you've dated before?"

Piotr bit his lower lip "I guess you can say that…" He stared at the ceiling.

"Was it more than dating?"

"Is this an interrogation? Because I'm not fond of those, if you don't mind." Piotr grabbed the door knob and yanked it out, just as kitty was about to unlock it. "I'll get you a new door later, just don't say anything." He dropped the door lock and walked to his room and slammed the door shut almost smashing it.

"What was that all about?" Kitty asked as she walked through the broken door.

"I don't know… So where's the grub?"

"Down stairs directly. Here, grab on and I'll take you there…"

"No. That's ok, I'm just going to unpack and go down later. Where is the head master?"

"Oh. The Professor is making a 'RE' house call along with Ororo and Logan." Kitty looked down the hall toward Piotr's room.

"Ok well I'll see you later then." Jessica pushed Kitty out of the way and entered her room. She watched as Kitty phased through the floor, and into the kitchen. Jessica dropped her bag on her bed and walked to Piotr's room. It was quiet, so she knocked on the door. She heard some liquid sounds coming from inside, so she concentrated and opened her mouth. It was so high pitched; nobody could hear it, besides the two twins walking around the yard, who were mutants that shape shifted into dogs of any kind. She heard glass break inside and some minor cussing. The door opened and out came a pissed off Piotr with the top half of a glass bottle of vodka still in his hand. She glared at him and let herself in. He got another bottle from his closet and started to drink it.

"YOU'RE MARRIED!" Piotr chocked and snorted.

"I don't even know you and we're having this conversation." He got a towel and wiped up the mess of glass and vodka on the floor.

"Are you still married, or what?"

"It was some time ago, I was stupid, my mind was messed up, I was drunk, and I want to forget about it."

"Are you going to tell Kitty? Or are you not man enough to do it?" Piotr growled at her.

"My relationships are none of your business; and for your information, I ended that relationship."

"Tell Kitty. She's worried that you don't like her as much as she likes you. Do you love her?"

"I do, but she doesn't have to know. Thanks, but no thanks." He threw the glass in the trash.

"I'm not asking… I'm demanding it. Tell her or I will." She slammed the door as she walked out.

"Hey, Jacob, can you get that plate for me?" Kitty asked as she sat down at the table. She found the plate moving towards her slowly. "Are you a 'teke' or what?" She lifted the plate to find a pile of spiders. "YOU HAVE TWO SECONDS TO GET THOSE THINGS AWAY FROM ME!"

"OK! Fine, just don't smash them. It took me months to breed those." He scooped them with his hand and set them on his shoulder. Jessica entered the room with Piotr and sat at another table. Kitty whispered for Jacob to hand her some type of non gross insect to play with. "You promise not to feed it to that purple dragon of yours?"

"Deal!" He reached into his pocket, mumbled something and handed her a praying-mantis. She played with it, hoping to look interested and not thinking about Piotr.

"Do it Piotr!" Jessica urged while whispering. Piotr looked up at Kitty, playing with the insect, and tried to gather his thoughts.

"Not now. We just became a couple. It would break her heart!"

"You might as well do it now, when she isn't pissed off for any reason. The most she can do is yell at you or something, that's not as bad as breaking up with you." Piotr started to stand up and walk toward Kitty, but since he was going too slow, she playfully kicked his back, forcing him to fall over. Kitty looked up and tried to not laugh. She leaned over and helped him up, and pushing a seat over to him.

"Katya, I need to tell you something about my past that will not make you happy."

"Uh ok… I guess." She shifted in her seat uncomfortably. The praying mantis was looking around and saw the size of Piotr. It suddenly turned defensive.

Jacob walked over to Jessica and sat by her. "Should I take my mantis away?"

"Yeah, this is going to break Kitty's heart and will make Piotr suicidal. Your mantis will get crushed, if you don't take it away."

Jacob mumbled something and the mantis leaped and glided to him. "So what is it that he's saying to her?"

"He's telling her about his past marriage. Can you believe he was married?"

"Uh… yeah. He told me when I became his roommate, just because we were bored and wanted to get to know each other. It surprised me to, but it made since…"

"YOU IDIOT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" Kitty slapped him in the face again and again. She finally stopped and ran through the wall crying. Piotr turned to Jacob and Jessica and they saw his cheeks red with pain and embarrassment.

"What should I do?" He asked as he got a cube of ice and rubbed his jaw.

Jessica and Jacob looked at each other and said: "GO GET HER!" at the same time.

"Wow. Huge guy, small brain."

"Hey, you don't live with him. I have to constantly help him with his homework! And I'm only in the 6th grade!" Jacob rolled his eyes.

"Really? So what else is he to stupid to do or know?" She looked interested.

"Wow. Where do I begin?"

"Katya! Please open the door. I'm sorry, but it had to come out sooner or later."

"BUT NOW OF ALL TIMES! PIOTR, JUST LEAVE! I DON'T WANT TO KNOW YOU EXIST RIGHT NOW!" Kitty jumped on her bed and cried hard.

"Please, I'm begging you! Please open the door."

"Pete! There you are. Ok so can you, like, help me with my luggage?"

"Yeah I guess so." Pete took one more look at Kitty's door and walked toward Jessica.

"Hey you guys, it's the Phoenix on TV!" Jacob yelled down the halls. The three of them ran to the Rec room and saw, on the screen, a house floating in the air and glass breaking.

"Earlier today, there was an incident that may have involved six or more mutants, one of them believed to be Magneto. One Eye witness commented that he had seen Professor Charles Xavier, from the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, enter the house, but after the house had landed back on the ground, the multi billionaire had not exited the house. We have some reason to believe that he was killed, for his wheelchair is still inside." Jessica was in tears and hugged Piotr. He was about to cry but held it back.

"Could this day get any worse?" Piotr added, just before Ororo and Logan entered the mansion in tears. He couldn't tell Logan about Kitty now.

Piotr was dressing for the funeral, as Jacob was crying softly on his bed.

"It's going to be ok." He reassured.

"He taught me how to control my power; he gave me that ant farm. I don't know where I would be without him!" The tears came back. Piotr gave him a hug and left to get a seat at the funeral.

Jessica stayed behind and sat by Theresa, who was trying to comfort a kid in her lap, but also crying. Jacob entered the lobby with the others after he dried his eyes, and sat by Jessica.

Bobby held Kitty's hand and Piotr just looked on, he felt terrible. He never wanted this much stress in one day for Kitty. He dropped his rose and headed back toward his room. He followed Jessica around and talked to her about Kitty. Meanwhile Kitty was on her bed crying when Bobby entered.

Rogue looked on as she stared out the window. She grabbed her coat and got her favorite pair of gloves and put them beside her bed. She went to sleep thinking about her decision tomorrow.
