Chapter 9

Kurt made his way to the park that was a few blocks away, quickly turning on his watch before leaving the brotherhood house. He arrived at the park and took in the sight of children playing and running around. He scanned the park until his eyes landed on a couple sitting together under a tree.

It looked to Kurt like they were arguing. The boys face looked furious and the girls shoulders were tense. He saw her shake her head and the boy punched the ground, sending a small tremor through the park The boy grabbed the girls upper arm and the girls spine straightened before she yanked away, shaking her head again.

He felt the urge to interrupt the two. To run over there and wrap his hands around the boys neck, but a little whisper in the back of his mind demanded he stay still. After a couple weeks of Kitty becoming withdrawn and letting Lance control her, it stunned him to see her lash out, pushing against Lances chest and he could hear her voice becoming raised

Kitty shook her head as Lance suggested they head back to the house. „No." It was no more than a whisper but Lance heard it and he narrowed his eyes. „No? Did you just tell me no?" He laughed and shook his head before leaning forward and forcefully punching the ground, a smile on his face.

„Now that is funny. It's like you think I'm asking you." Kitty shook her head again and pulled away as Lance grabbed her arm, trying to drag her to her feet. „I said no! I won't do this anymore! You cannot make me do what you want!." The girl shot to her feet, the boy following. „I sat back and I let you use me! I let my fear control me and I let you control me and I won't take it anymore!."

Lance shook his head and threw his hands up in the air. „You know what, you're not even worth it. I don't have to force a girl to my bed, I wanted you and I had you. Now I'm done with you." He felt a sharp stinging sensation as Kitty's hand made contact with his cheek.

She looked slightly surprised but slowly smiled . „You don't have me anymore. And if there's anything I can do about it you won't have any other girl either. I will never let you subject an innocent girl to what you did to me."

Lance held his cheek and glared at her before turning around and walking away. Kitty watched him go, her legs turning to jelly as she slowly sank to the ground, relief etched in to her every feature. For two weeks she had put up with him, had deluded herself in to thinking she had no where to go, nothing she could do.

And as she watched Lance walk out of the park and out of her life she started to laugh.

Kurt watched the scene between the two and watched Lance leave. He almost took off after him but stopped and went to Kitty instead. He would find Lance later, and he knew a few others who wouldn't mind a 'conversation' with the boy either.

He quickly made his way to Kitty who was sitting on the ground and laughing as tears streamed down her face. He approached cautiously, extending a hand, and lightly placing it on her shoulder. „Katzchen?" Kitty looked up at Kurt and smiled „He's gone elf.. I really did it!."

Kurt knelt down next to the girl and carefully folded her in to his arms as her laughing died out and sobs began wracking her body. He held the shaking girl close, gently smoothing her hair. „Ja you did."

They sat there, wrapped in each others arms while Kitty cried herself raw and after an hour she finally calmed down. „I. I couldn't even recognize myself elf." He felt her fingers clench in the material of his shirt and he sat silently, letting her unload the last two weeks from her chest.

„When it happened. I.. I just didn't know what to do, I tried to get away at first but I just, I couldn't." Kurt understood what she was talking about, he had seen enough times when they had been fighting and Kitty was shocked out of phasing, causing her to get injured. He knew her powers were growing and developing and she had control most of the time, but like anyone's powers, enough fear will block them.

Kurt let her ramble on and finally when she seemed to slow down he moved back so he was able to see her face. „Keety. Vhy didn't you talk to someone? Me or Rogue, ve vould have helped you." Kitty let her eyes drop to the ground. „I know you would have. But Elf i'm supposed to be strong. I was weak and now... now i'm dirty. Everyone will look at me differently, i'm disgusting and I couldn't handle the though of losing everyone."

Kurt brought the girl closer in to his arms and shook his head. „Nien Katzchen, nobody thinks zat. Ve vould never think zat." Kitty sighed in relief at finally being free from Lance and finally opening up to someone about the last two weeks in hell.

Kurt held her tighter as a though came to him and he very quietly called her name. „Yes Kurt?" „Have you. I mean.. Did he... Use protection?" Kitty stiffened. That wasn't something she had thought about through her haze of fear and she slowly shook her head, quickly trying to think back to the last time she had gone through menstruation, tears welling in her eyes again. „Kurt.. I didn't get my period this month." „Keety, I think ve should take you to Heir Mcoy."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX(I thought about leaving it here, but I couldn't tease you guys like that.)

Kitty sat on the hard metal examination table, Kurt by her side, running a soothing hand up and down her back. When they had entered the office, Hank had smiled kindly at them but as the story came out, his friendly look turned more clinical and worried.

He had then made Kurt leave the room as he examined Kitty and used some machine he had created that was basically an early pregnancy test. He had expressed his desire to have had an earlier look at her in case their had been any tearing or injuries but it seemed that luckily she was not badly wounded.

He had checked her entire body and found a few bruises on her sides and ribs but nothing they needed to worry about. Now the two teenagers where waiting for the results of the test and Kitty was trying not to hyperventilate.

Hank came out of his office and watched both of the kids' spines straighten. He sat down in front of them and placed a hand on Kitty's knee. „The results came back negative." Kitty burst in to tears at the relief and wrapped her arms around Kurts neck. „oh Gott sei Dank" Kurt sighed, rubbing Kitty's back.

Hank smiled at the two briefly. „now Kitty it is still early and the missed period was most likely from stress but I want you down here again in two weeks time, just to make sure and we'll do another test."

Kitty nodded and smiled a watery smile at the doctor. „Thank you." He nodded and moved out of the way, letting the two leave the med bay. He stopped Kurt and smiled at Kitty saying he would like a word alone with the boy. Kitty nodded and went to the hall to wait.

Hank faced the boy and sighed, rubbing at his temples a bit. „You will tell me when you plan to find Mr. Alvers. I don't want to unleash you and Logan on the poor boy, someone needs to be able to tell you when it is enough." Kurt reluctantly nodded and Hank gestured to the hallway. „you better get to her, She will need all the support she can get right now.

German:

oh Gott sei Dank - Oh Thank God
