On top of the tallest building in Bayville

Kitty and Peter who was in his normal clothes now were sitting on the ledge of the building looking at the town below them.

Kitty sighed, "I love swinging with you," Kitty said getting Peter's attention, "It always amazes me how different things look, it's like a new world that has yet to be discovered."

"One of my favorite things to do as Spider-Man is swinging across the city, it really helps me clear my head when things just get too much," Peter said

"You can always come to me when things get too much you know," Kitty said

"I know and the same goes to you. You can always talk to me Kitty, about anything," Peter said

Kitty sighed and then looked out at Bayville again, "A week after the Brotherhood's attack, I thought for a long time about what should happen between Lance and me. You know for the last couple of years, I have been flirting with him," Kitty said getting a stiff nod from Peter.

"In the beginning Lance took advantage of me and my powers which didn't put him in my good books for a while. But then I joined the X-Men and he the Brotherhood, you'd think with us being on separate sides it would make us hate each other even more. But it didn't, as I fought him and went to school with him which was weird to be honest. I saw a side of him that I never thought that I would see, I saw good in him, he actually seemed to be a decent guy or at least that's what I thought at the time. He wasn't wicked or evil, he did what he did because he thought he had no other choice and Magneto and Mystique took advantage of that. I thought that I could help him, show him that there were other choices, he didn't have to hurt people, he didn't have to live the way he was, he could help people and have friends, people who cared about him and his wellbeing. I thought if I became his friend that I could get him to see that, as our friendship grew so did my feelings for him, so I flirted and he flirted back. For a while I thought that maybe I could bring him to our side, if he saw that I actually cared for him then others could too, but he never seemed to see that or if he did, he didn't much care for it. Still I never gave up, I really did want to help him and after the X-Men, New Mutants, and the Brotherhood teamed up to face Apocalypse together and humanity finally giving us a chance, I thought maybe he would finally see that change was happening but it seemed that I was wrong. He didn't see what I was seeing he still believed that humans would never accept mutants and the only solution to resolve this conflict was through Mutant Supremacy with Magneto as the ruler. That's why he and the Brotherhood still did those attacks. But even after that, I believed that I could bring him over to our side. I had thought for a while and decided that I did want to see where we could go in a relationship," Kitty said

Peter looked like he wanted to say something but Kitty interrupted him, "Now before you say something like Kitty how can you want to be with someone who willingly put children lives in danger. Are you willing to really be with someone who's gonna fight for mutant supremacy, how will that even work? The answer is that I wasn't, I decided then that even though I do want to see where a relationship can go between us, there was no way I was gonna be with him as long as he was with the Brotherhood."

"That's a relief, I guess," Peter said

"Once I made my decision, I called Lance and told him to meet me at the park the day after. The day finally came and I found myself sitting on the park bench waiting for Lance to arrive. I arrived a bit early so I could go over what I said in my head. I probably went over what I wanted to say a dozen times, frankly I lost count. Finally, Lance came, we greeted each other, hugged each other, the usual. We started with the usual beginning conversation with how are you doing and that kind of thing, I told him how things at school were improving and we were being given a chance. Of course, Lance just had to say that it wouldn't last long. Not a very good beginning of our conversation," Kitty said
