Chapter Four
The pain was clearly etched across Kitty's face as she tried her best not to scream out in pain. Rogue had recently given her some painkillers to try and lessen the pain but they appeared to be having no affect, she had also placed a target up a couple of yards in front of the other girl, with the hope she could do something to help Kitty with her Powers.
"Kit it's going to be okay, trust me. Just keep your hands facing the target in-case something does happen." Rogue asked her as she rubbed circles soothingly on the younger girls head in a last ditch attempt to die down the pain.
A bang was heard and before either girl knew what was going on they saw a hole in the bullseye of the target leading to a small dent in the wall behind, smoke coming off the edges. Both the girls eyes synchronised together as they opened wider in surprise at what had had just happened before them. Their attention was then brought towards the loud banging from outside of the door, and it became obvious that someone had overheard the bang.
"What the hell is going in on in there?" Wolverine shouted as Rogue managed to get Kitty to hide under the bed out of sight, before she sauntered over to the door and opened it. "What is going on in here?" The anger in Wolverines voice was clear as his Metal claws made their way out of the skin between his knuckles.
"I think beast is doing another experiment next door" Rogue lied as she batted her eyelids knowing that Wolverine would overlook anything for her. She heard a sigh of defeat from Wolverine as she closed the door on him and made her way over to where Kitty was hidden to help her back up. "Next time we'll have to do this in the Danger Room, have you still got the headache?" Rouge asked hoping for the best.
"I think so" Kitty reassured herself as she headed towards the door "Thanks again Rogue" she smiled at her companion as she left through the door leaving Rogue standing her own room contemplating how she could help Kitty out. She didn't want to abandon her but there was only so much she could do. Rogue knew deep down that she had to tell someone but if Kitty didn't give her permission, she'd end up coping with it on her own and that wouldn't be good for anyone. So she settled on having a word with Kitty next time the situation aroused that she was in need of her help.
Kitty felt a strain in her body like something had taken away some of the energy inside of her but she refused to let it bother her as she was only focused upon finding Bobby and apologising for just running out of him earlier. It was hard for her to admit to anyone let alone herself but she had feelings for the Ice boy that was her best friend. He had grown on her a little bit more every day since she had originally came to the mansion, but he had been for her every time she needed him since the day of the disappearance. He always cheered her up when she was down, he always gave her hope that live would return to the way it used to be and he was always the one that comforted her in her time of need. All of this was what she had grown to love about Bobby but she still refused to think of him as anything other than her best friend, that's what he had been to her all of these years and she didn't ever want to risk losing her best friend especially not after all this.
Kitty had checked the lounge and the kitchen, his two favourite places, but he was in neither of them. She even visited his room in hope that he would be there but when she knocked and called out to him, she found no answer. So on a last ditch attempt, before she gave up on looking him, she decided on searched outside at the bench that they had been sat at before.
And as she drew ever closer she spotted him sat closely next to someone. Standing behind one of the overlooking trees, she got a closer look and saw that her blond haired friend was sat on the bench with Jean. They appeared to be in a long conversation about something but Kitty was too far away from them to hear exactly what they were on about but whatever it was it more have been upsetting as she witnessed what she thought was a tear rolling down her best friends eye. The longer it went on the more intrigued she was by the conversation, until it seemed to draw to a close as Bobby stood up. But he stalled and then leaned in and kissed Jean's cheek. It was a surprise to the youngest X-men to say the least, but it hurt more inside than anything else. It felt like he had betrayed her, so there was the part where they were just best friends, but to see him kissing someone else after what nearly happened earlier on just made her feel near enough none existant. But before she knew it Kitty was running off up the driveway away from the scene that had unfolded before her, not realising that Bobby had seen her and was now running straight after her.
