Chapter 13: Joyride

The night was calm as a figure with a duffle bag walks up the long stretch of road towards the gates of Xavier's Institute, his suit on him as he uses his powers to avalanche his way inside-the alarms immediately going off. The X-men were woken up by the alarm, their own suits on as they rush out to the front to see who had broken in. Logan's claws come out, growling as he stares down none other than Lance Alvers. "State your business, bub."

"I want to join the X-men." Lance smirks, his response shocking everyone.

The Professor tells Logan telepathically to bring him inside to his office, Piotr eyeing the Brotherhood member as he walks past them all with the Wolverine. The X-teen stand outside the Professor's office, wondering what was going on as Lance hasn't appeared yet. The doors open, the teens straightening as Logan appeared with a smug Lance. "Half pint, show Avalanche here where he'll be staying." Logan instructs.

Kitty steps forward and walks past Lance a bit. "Right this way."

Lance follows her, while the other teens looked at Logan. "Logan, you can't be serious." Scott says, a frown on his face.

"The Professor thinks he really wants to change. It'll be up to Avalanche to prove it." Logan sighs as he shakes his head.

"Great. Who next? Pyro?!" Bobby groans.

Kitty opens the bedroom door, stepping in and allowing Lance to walk in and look around. "Your bedroom. Breakfast starts at 8, best to get there before the newer kids do." Kitty puts her hands behind her back.

"Hey, nice place." Lance comments with a grin. He dumps his belongings into a drawer, tossing the bag aside. "There, all unpacked."

Kitty studies him, her brows furrowing as she didn't understand him. "Lance… why are you here?"

Lance turns to face her, eye brows raised. "For you."

"No really. Why are you here?"

"Again. For you. Listen, I know we didn't start off on the right foot and you said our first date was a bust. I want to show you that I am serious about wanting to be with you. I'm different when I'm with you." Lance sighs, rubbing the back of his head.

Kitty felt her cheeks heat up. "Oh… Well… maybe I'll give you another chance, if you can prove you're serious about changing."

Lance smiles. "I won't disappoint you."

Kitty smiles back, telling him good night, then she goes back to bed. Lance goes to sleep in the most comfiest bed he has ever slept in, falling asleep instantly. Morning arrives and everyone was downstairs for breakfast, Lance entering the room-already receiving a few glares from some of the x-teens. He shrugs it off and grabs breakfast, noticing Kitty was sitting down at the table. He spots a seat open in front of her, even though there was quite a few open around the table, but he spots Rogue about to sit. Lance guns it for the spot, shoving Rogue out of the way. "Hey!" Rogue growls, stumbling back a bit, but felt an arm catch her.

"Dat was 'er seat homme." Remy glares at the Brotherhood member.

"Don't see her name on it, Gambit." Lance glares at Remy who was glaring back.

"Whatevah, ah'm eatin' outside." Rogue rolls her eyes.

Remy follows her, but was sending Lance a death glare with his red on black eyes. Kitty looks up from her breakfast from the commotion, noticing the two boys glaring at each other. "I would be careful around here, Lance." Kitty says softly. "Not everyone is accepting of you yet."

"Yeah, I got that impression already." Lance shovels some eggs in his mouth.

Piotr was off in the corner of the kitchen, watching the two. His hand was gripping the spatula as he watched, Scott waiting but noticing the russian resident was bending it. "Uh… Piotr. Can.. I have that spatula?" Scott asks.

"Da." Piotr nods, handing it to him, the spatula bent in many ways.

Scott purses his lips, Jean gasping softly as she looked at the spatula. "I think someone's jealous." Jean whispers to Scott.

"I think so too." Scott nods, his voice soft.

Piotr sits on the patio outside, clearly mad Lance was here. "Whoa, easy dere big guy." Remy comments as Piotr slams his stuff down, Rogue taken aback by the soft spoken russians attitude. "Y' all good dere?"

"Da." Piotr starts to munch on his pancake, the two southerners exchanging glances.

Rogue motions to Piotr to Remy with her eyes, Remy giving her a look, but then she gives him a look and he sighs. "'S it about Lance bein' heah?" Remy asks.

"… Da."

"Ya lahke Kitty don't ya Pete?" Rogue asks.

"…Da…." Piotr felt heat creep to his cheeks a bit, embarrassed as he ate his breakfast.

"Den why don' y' tell 'er?" Remy asks.

"Katya might not feel de same way." Piotr sighs.

"Well, if Lance keeps charmin' her she maght not. Ya should tell her, Petey." Rogue pats his hand in comfort.

Piotr looks up to his two friends, munching on his food. "Thank you. I will find a way to tell her."

"If y' need help gettin' rid o' Lance, 'll do dat." Remy grins.

"Not in a murderous way." Rogue pipes up.

"Aww." Remy pouts. Rogue snaps her head to him, Remy grinning while putting his hands up. "Jus' kiddin'. I ain' a murderer."

"Oh good. Ah thought ya were when ya followed meh out heah." Rogue teases.

"I would nevah!" Remy feigns being offended.

Piotr blinks. "What about you two?"

"Huh?" Rogue looks at the larger teen.

"Never mind…" Piotr mumblers as he kept eating.

Breakfast ended, Logan instructing the X-teens to get ready for some training. Lance was telling Kitty some jokes, which were actually making her laugh, but it made Piotr feel jealous. Logan instructs Lance to join the new recruits, Lance pouting a bit as he got separated from Kitty. Piotr goes up to Kitty in his suit, feeling nervous. "Katya, can I speak with you a moment?" He asks.

"Oh, how about after this session?" Kitty smiles up at him.

"Da…" Piotr nods.

He can see Remy facepalming, feeling like his friend was doomed. "I tried." Piotr states as he stands in front of him.

"Dat was not tryin', mon ami." Remy shakes his head.

"She said she will speak with me after de session."

"I guess dat's not bad…"

Logan has the group split up, taking the new recruits for himself, while Hank had some of the more experienced X-men, like Jean, Scott and Warren while Ororo took the others lik Rogue, Kurt, Kitty, and Remy. Lance looks over to Kitty with a smile and waves at her. Kitty smiling back shyly and waving. His eyes narrow when he catches Kurt, Rogue, Remy and Piotr glaring at him, sticking his tongue out at them. Remy gives him the finger, getting a reaction out of Avalanche. To prevent the two from getting into a fight, Rogue tries to tug Remy to where they had to go-the much taller teen almost resisting, but then lets her-Piotr and Kurt watching the Cajun melt as she dragged him away. Kitty was confused, noticing the glare Lance had then looks back to notice her teammates were getting ready. She blinks, wondering what just happened.

Lance does a couple of courses with the newer recruits, passing them with ease. They switch it up where some of the recruits went to the pool for an exercise-some equipment set up with the push of a button, Ororo's team at this station to help. "The goal is to safely rescue the victim without them getting hurt. You have to use your powers to get them free before they drown. We got Piotr and Gambit on the side to do any rescues but hopefully it doesn't come down to that." Logan instructs as he walked in front of the recruits.

In the pool on platforms in cages or tied up were Kurt, Kitty, Rogue and Evan. Piotr had his arms crossed as he stared down Lance, noticing him eyeing Kitty. Remy shuffles his cards, mumbling that he wished he could do some of the rescuing with the recruits. "You two seem to have gotten close." Piotr comments lowly to Remy.

He almost dropped some cards as the tall, bulky Russian said that, his red on black eyes looking up at him. "Who? M' an' Rogue?"

"Da. You seem to follow her like a puppy. Are you two together?"

Remy looks across the pool where Rogue was, smiling to himself. "Well, not exactly. We played twenty questions an' got t' know each ot'er some mo'. Dough.. I would love t' take 'er out."

Piotr noticed the enamored look on Remy's face as he was gazing at Rogue. He lets out a short chuckle. "What's s' funny?" Remy asks, looking up at his teammate.

"Nothing."

"Non. Tell me."

"We should focus on da pool incase something happens."

Remy makes a face, crossing his arms with his cards still in hand. Logan had some of the recruits line up; Alex lined up with Kurt, Sam/ Cannonball lined up with Kitty, Lance lined up with Rogue and Raine lined up with Evan. "The traps ahead will try to deter you from rescuing the victim. Don't let them stop you. And stick to who you got partnered with."

Ororo uses her powers to cause the still pool to have powerful waves to up the level. "You may begin!" She says.

The teens strategically head off to go to their assigned victim, but Lance had a different idea, using his powers to shove Cannonball away from Kitty's platform, causing the teen to ricochet off into the water and hit the stand of Rogue's platform that held it up underwater, Lance dodging the obstacles and opening Kitty's cage with a wink. Cannonball shoots out of the pool and into the nearby garden, while Rogue tried to get off her platform but ended up falling in the pool-the waves thrashing violently. Remy drops his cards immediately and dives in, Storm using her powers to calm the pool while the other teens struggled too due to Lance. "Avalanche! What did I say?!" Logan roars.

Remy pops up with Rogue, her tied arms around his neck as she coughed violently. "Y' could've gotten 'er killed!" Remy shouted, Piotr helping him and Rogue out of the pool.

"Least I saved one." Lance shrugs.

Logan sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Gumbo, take Rogue to Hank to make sure she is okay. Avalanche, I'm having you take fifty laps around the mansion grounds."

Lance makes a face as he puts Kitty down, Kitty giving him a sympathetic smile but goes to check on her best friend. Remy used his powers to take off the bounds on Rogue's wrists, Rogue still coughing as she was trying to get some air back into her lungs. "Katya, perhaps we should talk?" Piotr stops Kitty from going up to the two southerners, Remy looking up to his friend, then decided to pick up Rogue so he could take her to Hank.

"Ah-*cough cough*-hate him-*cough cough*!" Rogue growls.

"Jus' take it easy, chère." Remy says, but he was also mad-he just wasn't showing it at the moment as his priority was her. He spots Hank watching Jean, Warren, Bobby and Scott do their training, but the blue beast turns to finds the Cajun coming up to him.

"Everything okay?" Hank asks.

"Lance almost drowned Rogue durin' trainin'. Wolverine said t' 'ave y' check up on 'er." Remy explains.

"Oh my stars and garters. Let's go inside to the medical lab-Scott you're in charge of the training session until I get back!" Hank yells out to Scott.

The group noticed the commotion, wondering what had happened. "We got it Hank!" Scott nods.

"Uh oh. Wonder what happened?" Bobby motions to the two southerners with Hank-Remy carrying Rogue as she coughed.

"Seems like Lance is causing trouble." Scott frowns.

"Uhm… Katya. I do not like Lance here." Piotr sighs as he and Kitty were inside in the kitchen, away from prying eyes and ears.

"What do you mean? Is it because he almost drowned Rogue? It was a mistake. He really is trying to change." Kitty frowns.

Piotr shakes his head. "Not just dat. His intentions are not good. He does not care about our teammates safety except for yours. I feel like he is not a team player. He will jeopardize our team on missions."

"Maybe I can talk to him. I promise he is trying his best. He's trying to win me back."

"Vat? Kitty, you cannot be serious?! You should not be with him."

"Why? People deserve second chances. Why do you care so much?" Kitty places her hands on her hips.

"Because I want to be with you!" Piotr lets it out, but then he shuts his mouth just as fast-his cheeks turning a light shade of red.

Kitty gasps, her blue eyes wide. "Oh…"

"Please, forget what I said. I have said too much." Piotr shakes his head, turning and leaving.

Kitty reaches out for him, but stops, conflicted now. She was teetering back and forth on who she should choose, struggling at making a decision. Rogue and Remy come back up from seeing Hank, the two noticing Kitty standing in the kitchen looking a little disheveled. Rogue gives Remy a look, to which he nods and leaves to go find Piotr. "Kit? What's wrong?" Rogue asks.

"Piotr just confessed his feelings to me…" Kitty spoke softly.

"Oh!" Rogue's eyes widen, sitting down at the counter next to her best friend. "So.. what are ya gonna do?"

"I don't KNOW!" Kitty looks at her, almost distraught. "Part of me wants to give Lance another chance, but the other part of me really likes Piotr. He's so sweet and kind and gentle. I don't know what to do Rogue."

Rogue rubs her back sympathetically. "Well… just listen ta yer heart. Let it decide fer ya. Soah one will get hurt in the end, but what's important is knowing who you would rathah have ta treat ya nicely. Ya want someone who will devout themselves ta yer heart or do ya want someone who'll stomp on it an' give lame excuses ta make up with ya."

Kitty looks at her, rubbing her face, a soft smile appearing on her lips. "Thanks Rogue. That was, like, super helpful."

"No problem." Rogue smiles.

"You going to eventually tell me what's, like, happening between you and Remy?" Kitty smirks lightly.

"There ain't nothin' goin' on between us!" Rogue gets up abruptly. "Now let's get back!"

She hurriedly leaves the kitchen to go back outside, Kitty going after her. Piotr watched Kitty exit the house, Remy going up beside him to see Rogue walking back out towards the large area. "Y' tol' 'er didn' y'?" He asks.

"Da. Might have been a mistake…" Piotr looks down sadly.

"Jus' give 'er some time." Remy pats his shoulder, walking back to where Rogue and Kitty went to.

It was soon dinner time, Kitty seeing Piotr and Lance at the table. She was yet again conflicted. Rogue noticed, hooking her arm around hers and guiding her away from both boys, Remy watching her sit on the opposite side of the table. "Thanks." Kitty whispers.

Rogue smiles then eats her food. Surprisingly, dinner was calm, but Lance was wondering why Kitty was sitting away from him. His gaze fixed on her as she sat with Rogue and chatted with her quietly. Piotr glanced up from his food and noticed Lance was constantly looking at Kitty. Soon, it was time for bed, everyone getting ready while some stayed up for a little bit until they too decided to go to sleep.

Lance wakes up in the middle of the night after hearing footsteps outside his room. He opens his door to find no one there, making him scratch his head. Shrugging to himself, he goes back to bed, his alarm going off hours later to get ready for school. Lance gets up and puts on his clothes for the day, grabbing his backpack and heading downstairs for breakfast. Kitty was was at the table eating breakfast, Lance quickly getting something to eat so he could sit across from Kitty as the spaces next to her were filled up. Remy noticing as he walked with Rogue to the table bumped into Lance, causing the teen to stumble to the side while the slick Cajun pulled the chair out for Rogue with an innocent smile. Rogue sits, wondering what he was scheming then noticed Lance heading for Remy. Lance grabs Remy by his shirt even though the teen was much taller than him by a good couple inches. "What's your deal with me?!" He growls.

"Don' know what y' talkin' 'bout." Remy shrugs him off, but Lance was starting to make the grounds tremble while he got out a card and charged it, ready.

"Cut it out you two! No fighting at breakfast." Logan splits them apart, growling.

Kitty gets up and tugs on Lance's arm, while Rogue tugged on Remy's, both boys not budging for a moment until Logan's claws came out. "What was that all about?" Kitty asks.

"He knows what he did." Lance growls.

He takes a seat that was a couple seats from Kitty, pouting as he ate his breakfast. Piotr softly asks Remy what happened, the Cajun telling him he was making sure Lance wasn't stealing Rogue's seat since she wanted to sit in front of Kitty. Scott sighs, hoping the rest of the day didn't have any turmoil. The teens head to the garage to get into their vehicles to go to school, Scott gasping at the sight of his car that was caked in mud and branches. "Nice car, Summer's." Lance comments as he jumps into his jeep, taking some of the recruits with him.

"Hey! Alvers!" Scott yells after him as he tore out of the garage.

Warren whistles, noticing Scott upset. "Man what happened to your car?"

"I don't know, but I think Lance might have an idea." Scott frowns.

Jean looks over her car while she was getting in, noticing how dirty Scott's was. "Do you need a ride Scott?" Jean offers.

"Aren't you taking the others?" Scott raises a brow.

"Non, 'm takin' m' bike." Remy says as he walks by with his motorcycles keys spinning on his finger. He gets on, starting it up, glancing over to Rogue. "Y' need a ride, chère?"

She looks at Kitty then walks over with a sweet smile. "Soah."

Remy offers her a helmet with his trademark smirk. "Y' might want t' hang on tight." He says to her.

"Ah'm fahne lahke this." She rolls her eyes as she had her arms loosely around his torso.

Remy shrugs but smirked, tearing it out of the institute, feeling Rogue grasp him tightly. Piotr gets on his own motorcycle, getting his helmet on. Kitty walks over to him, shyly. "Hey.. Pete. Do you, like, think you can give me a ride?"

Piotr lifts his visor, then nods. "Da. Get on, but also out dis on. Safety first."

Kitty smiles, taking the helmet and putting it on. "Thanks Petey!"

She holds onto him as he drives out of the institute, the others piling into Jean's van and heading off to school. Lance was already at the school, waiting for Kitty to arrive. "Heyyy, if it isn't the X-man!" Tabitha teases as the Brotherhood comes up to him.

"We were wondering where you were." Blob says.

"Why'd you join those losers? Think you're a hero?" Pietro questions, crossing his arms.

"None of your business." Lance snorts.

"I think it has something to do with a specific Kitty-kat." Toad laughs.

"Well I wouldn't be too sure cause she's on the back of some guys motorcycle!" Pyro chuckles, pointing.

Remy had parked his motorcycle, helping Rogue off. Piotr parks his, Kitty getting off and thanking him. "Colossus." Lance growls, causing a small tremor.

"Uh oh, ah think Lance sees Kitty with Piotr." Rogue looks over to the Brotherhood.

Piotr noticed, Kitty going up to Lance. "Lance! Uhm, why don't we, like, go study before class?" Kitty tries to diffuse the situation.

Lance noticed Remy idling with Piotr, waiting for the bell to ring. He snarls, marching up to the two. "Hey! Gambit!" Lance shouts out, his hands balled into fists. "I got a bone to pick with you!"

Remy glances over to find Lance advancing on him. "What do y' want?" Remy asks, his voice hard.

"I know you shoved me this morning. You and Piotr both got a vendetta with me?"

His hands grab him by his trench coat, Remy glaring at him, his eyes flashing behind his contacts. "Lance! Cool it! We're not s'pposed ta get inta faghts at school!" Rogue growls, trying to get Lance off of Remy.

"Stay out of this Rogue!" Lance shoves her away, Rogue falling backwards.

Kitty rushes forward. "Lance! Seriously, like, stop!"

Remy shoves Lance back, pissed off. "Y' keep shovin' 'er around an' y' might get what y' askin' fo'."

Rogue brushes herself off, Remy and Kitty helping her up. Lance growls, but before he could try to advance again, Piotr grabs him by the shirt and holds him above the ground a bit. "Dat is enough. No need for violence at school." He says calmly.

Lance huffs, Piotr setting him down. He looks at Kitty, a questioning gaze on his face. "Kitty, are we going to go study or what?"

Kitty gives Rogue a look, then walks over to him, Rogue frowning. "C'mon, let's go calm down and study, 'kay? Don't need you getting into detention."

The Brotherhood snicker as they watched, Piotr sighing sadly and going inside the school. "Ah feel so bad fer Piotr." Rogue sighs, rubbing the side of her thigh that hit the ground.

"I t'ink she'll come around t' 'im soon enough. Shoulda kicked Lance's ass when he shoved y'." Remy peers over to where Kitty and Lance had walked over to. "He ain' nothin' but rude."

Rogue sighs but smiles. "It's fahne. Wouldn't be worth it gettin' detention an' a scoldin' from Logan."

Remy huffs, mumbling to himself, the bell ringing. Rogue rolls her eyes. "Get movin' swamp rat or ya gonna be late." She starts to push him towards the main entrance.

Kitty sighs as she sits in her class, unable to pay attention to the lecture on the board. She just hoped Lance wasn't a jerk for the rest of the day and Piotr didn't avoid her. Still, she had a lot of thinking to do, both boys vying for her attention.

As the day went by, it was soon time to go home, Kitty asking to ride with Lance in his jeep back home, wanting to talk to him, but she couldn't utter a word as some of the others hopped into his jeep with them-figuring she would tell him at the mansion.

Piotr noticed she got in Lance's jeep, putting his visor down and tearing out of the parking lot at a fast rate of speed. Rogue noticed the look on Kitty's face as she walked out of school, hoping her friend chooses what was right for her.

She also noticed a group of girls swarming Remy near his bike, asking him questions and flirting with him. Rogue was going to go ask Jean for a ride when she hears Remy tell the girls he already had someone he was taking home, excusing himself to jog up to Rogue. "Where y' goin' cher? Been waitin' fo' y'."

Rogue turns her head to look at him. "Ya soah ya don't want ta give any of those gals a ride?"

Remy can sense her feelings, a small smile appearing in his lips. "Non, jus' y'."

He grabs her hand and turns around to lead her back to his bike, handing her the helmet she wore earlier that morning. She puts it on then gets on behind him, the group of girls had already dispersed when he lost interest and went for her. Remy speeds out of the parking lot, Rogue hugging him tightly again as he drove.

Another night goes by where Lance woke up in the middle of the night to hear footsteps outside his door, yet again there was still no one there. Morning comes, Logan and Scott taking the new recruits in for an early morning tour and danger room session-some of them looking very tired. "Jeez Logan, think you're pushing the new recruits a little too hard?" Scott comments at how some looked.

"Nah. I don't think I'm pushing them enough." Logan shakes his head, the pair walking to the center of the danger room.

Lance raised a brow at some of the recruits but shrugs it off. They go into the blackbirds hanger, Kurt scrubbing the X-jet as punishment when he and Boom Boom got into trouble. He mutters to himself as he cleans, Logan telling him not to forget about the wax. Lance noticed Ray, Sam and Jubilee nudge each other at the blackbird, his eyes narrowing a bit, wondering what they were plotting.

They go over a danger room session, which they failed, Scott scolding them lightly but also gave pointers. Then came dinner, Kitty sat with Piotr at dinner, but Lance found a spot on the other side of her, both boys cold to each other. Rogue decided to sit a bit away from her best friend, not wanting to be caught up in the middle of the drama. She gives Kitty an apologetic look, then starts to eat. Kitty eats her dinner in silence, thinking hard on what she was going to do.

Later that night as Lance was sleeping, his bedroom door opens, Jubilee, Ray and Sam poking their head inside to wake him up quietly. "Hey Laaance, wake up!" Jubilee whispers.

"Go away" Lance groans in his sleep.

"C'mon, we're going to go for a ride. Come join us." Ray insists.

Lance looks up, brows furrowed. "No, Summers already thinks I wrecked his car."

"You'll get the blame anyway." Sam shrugs.

"No. Go away, go bother someone else." Lance faces away from them.

"Alright, but if you want to join us, we'll be in the hanger." Jubilee shrugs, shutting his door.

"The hanger? The blackbird!" Lance gasps.

He jumps out of bed, rushing towards Kitty's room, knocking on her door in a panic. Kitty rubs her eyes as she opens it, but was surprised to see Lance standing there. "Kitty, I need your help now." He says, grabbing her arm.

"Wha- HEY!" Kitty now fully awake gets dragged behind Lance as he starts heading down the hall.

She phases her hand out his grip, glaring at him. "Lance, what is your deal?!"

"Some of the new recruits are planning to steal the blackbird!" Lance looks at her, feeling a need to rush.

"What?! Who?!"

"I think Jubilee, Ray and Sam?"

"Oh my god. We gotta stop them! You get to the hanger, I'm going to wake up Logan." Kitty gasps, the two continue their running now in opposite directions.

"I don't think he's coming." Sam says to Ray, his arms crossed.

"Give it a second." Ray holds up a finger.

Lance appears in the hanger, planning to stall them. "You joining us for a ride Lance?" Jubilee smiles.

"Yeah, I changed my mind. It could be fun." Lance gives a smile, hoping Kitty would appear soon with Logan.

"Cool. Let's go." Ray nods.

"Wait," Lance says, stepping forward, the trio looking at him questiongly. "Does anyone know how to fly this thing?"

The trio look at each other, obviously not prepared. "Well…." Sam sheepishly starts. "Not really. But it'll be a learning experience."

"Don't even think about taking a step on that jet." Logan growls, Kitty beside him as they enter the hanger.

"You told on us?!" Jubilee gapes at Lance.

"If you wreck the blackbird, I'm going to get blamed for it. I'm not taking that blame." Lance crossed his arms.

"You three are grounded. I'm giving you Kurt's punishment which means you are to clean the blackbird every week for a whole month, starting today. Any objections?" Logan's claws pop out.

"No sir." The trio shake their heads, cowering.

"Good." Logan says gruffly. "Now, back to bed. And you, Avalanche, not bad. You keep this up and you'll be an X-man in no time."

Lance lets out a sigh. "Forget it. This place isn't cutting out for me. I'm going back to the Brotherhood. Trying to follow rules and make nice with others ain't my style."

"Eh. Your loss." Logan shrugs, heading back to bed.

Lance glances over to Kitty who was looking away from him. "Kitty, look. I only came here to be with you… But it's evident that no one wants me here."

Kitty rubs her arms, taking a shaky breath. "Well, that and because.. I like someone else, Lance. We would never work out because we are on complete opposite sides. Plus, you, like, almost killed some of my friends. I think it would be better if we remain as friends."

Lance looks at her, about to say something, but he shuts his mouth and turns away to head back towards his room to get his stuff and leave. Kitty watches him leave, sighing softly in an almost relief. She starts to go back to her room, but stops at a door and knocks softly. Piotr opens it, sleepily and confused as he saw her standing there. "Katya? What is going on?" He asks.

"I choose you." Kitty says softly, pulling him down for a kiss, surprising the Russian.

She pulls away and gives him a small smile. Piotr blinks, thinking he was dreaming. "Huh?"

"Lance left and it took me a while to realize he was not meant for me and that I was neglecting what was in front of me, so I, like, choose you-if you would, like, still want me." Kitty blushes, looking away.

Piotr's eyebrows raise in surprised shock, his cheeks heating up, but he couldn't stop the small smile forming. "Yes. Would you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes."

They stand there smiling at each other, until a sleepy voice calls out from the bedroom. "Go back to bed!" Bobby grumbles.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow?" Piotr blushed.

"'Kay. Good night." Kitty smiles, kissing his cheek.

"Night, Katya." Piotr smiles, watching her go back to bed, then shuts his door to go back to sleep.
