chapter 2 / the incident

"Do you wanna go out?"

"I don't think I'm allowed to. But thanks for trying."

"Yeah, it's cool." Illyana replied, sitting back down on her bed across from Kitty's, "It was right in my eyes, you had enough."

"It was self defense, I already told them that. But they evidently don't care enough to review their footage or- whatever. I'm done."

"Are you just planning on staring at this wall all night if you aren't going anywhere?"

"Yeah. But I wouldn't be surprised if I'm told to do something like community service. Ridiculous punishment, I know."

"Through the school or the Professor?"

"Both,"

"Yikes."

"Katherine!" yelled a voice from down the hall.

"Speak of the devil."

She got up from her bed and left the shared room, looking to the right towards the staircase, where Ororo was standing.

Sighing, she went down the hall.

"Look-" Kitty started.

"It's fine, I already know." she cut off.

"What do I have?"

"Go help Forge operate the Danger Room. You won't be training with them tonight either. That will be done on your own time."

"That's not too bad." she thought.

"Okay." she replied, going downstairs to the secret elevator that blended perfectly with the wood in the patterned wall. Making sure no one was passing before pressing the button.

As it opened, Kitty quickly walked in and pressed the "X" button, while continuesly tapping the "Close Door" button until it did close.

Laying back into the railing, the elevator dinged as she walked out into the underground headquarters, going towards Forge's office that overviewed the Danger Room.

Not even knocking, she went right in as Forge looked over at her from underneath the operation table, probably fixing something.

"What'd you do this time?" he asked, taking off his steampunk goggles and giving her a frown.

"Nothing,"

"Yeah right. Go sit down over there they'll be here in a second."

Kitty followed his direction, sitting in the leather rolley chair as she gazed over into the shiny, empty danger room.

Once Forge was done fixing the panel, he sat down in his chair and looked to where she was looking.

"Who's first?" she asked.

"Whoever wants to come. You- well, they have team training at 4:30, so you may just be sitting here until then."

"Fun," she groaned.

What felt like an hour passed, until Kurt finally came in for a solo run.

"Push that button." Forge directed her, as she followed and pushed it, as some sort of metal spaceship setting projected over, guards and enemies.

She sat and watched Kurt fight them off until they were all gone, moving him up to his higher level as he excelled, the setting changing to a jungle.

Everything was normal, until Kurt froze, Forge following as Kitty's eyes widened to the noise.

Kurt quickly yelled, "Pause!" as the machinery and projection stopped. Looking at the two at the control panel, they were almost positive they knew what was going on.
