Chapter 1
How and why Cap Pryde become friends with Wanda? Well, that´s a question that would take a long while to fully answer, what can be said here is that the two women have a lot in common than everyone realized. Krakoa certainly is not aware of this news or maybe, they have too much to worry to bother with Kitty´s new friends.
While, as a captain and doing her best to protect humans and mutants (something that Magneto mentioned was futile and leave him to get a proper answer from Kitty in the likes of “I didn´t ask your approval” proves that Cap Pryde won´t stop so soon) as a pirate and at the moment, Kitty Pryde wants to say some words with a few people.
She made peace with Emma Frost. Not friends, per se. But they can work together.
She and the New Mutants relinked their friendships.
She relinked her friendship with Bobby and even Pyro (well, she and Pyro were never friends nor enemies)
She talks with other X-men members and can see how Jean and Scott still mourn the death of Cable, the man was a monster, but, only parents can still mourn him.
She visited Meggan and Brian to see how they are dealing with…what Cable did and well, Meggan is getting better but Excalibur is dead for good and Kitty understand that.
And now she wants to say something to a few people. Still unable to enter in Krakoa by the traditional way, Kitty used innovation and a bit of help to break the security of Krakoa like only Kitty could think.
“Hey, Kurt!” she says looking at the azzure man with golden eyes. The man was surprised to see Kitty in astral form. “Oh, that? Wanda owns me a favour and I cash in, it does tingle a bit” she giggles and Kurt is happy to see her but Kitty continues “I was so sad and angry when you decided to be in Krakoa, but, I had time to think about everything, yes, I´m a pirate now. And I think I can see why you like Krakoa…jokes with orgies aside” she offers a small smile that´s a bit sad now “you like the security that it offers. A real sanctuary for mutants, but, then I wonder why our relationship meant and yes, I can´t just blame on you for the drift, I took space adventures to escape as well, I had my unhealthy cope mechanism as well. Why should I blame only on you?” Kitty takes a deep breath and continues as she raises her hand to not let Kurt speak, she really wants to get this out of her chest.
“You also have your bad cope mechanism too, Kurt, and I think…be stuck in Krakoa is one of the worst, well, the second one. England hates you, not Krakoa, because what Cable/Nate did…Meggan makes sure you won´t ever set a foot in there, do you have any idea how she´s feeling? She feels like a cheap whore, and yes, we know is not your fault, Kurt, I´m not here to blame you and not seeing you must ask forgiveness from her, I´m saying that you pretending that never happened is not health”
Now Kurt looks pissed. “So you´re here to throw at my face how I´m a terrible person?”
“No, I wouldn´t want to be friends with a terrible person, and you´re still my dearest friend, even if we let ourselves drift apart, I´m relinked my friendships and show them how they truly mean to me, I can´t change the past, Kurt, neither can you, but I can face my present and I would like to still be your friends…even if that´s the max you´ll ever see on me, a friend. Still, I would like to have you in my life, as long as you stop denying your problems, your traumas. Kurt, you´re hurt just like Meggan is, just like the others were…don´t hide in fake smiles and “ now she looks really depressed “pretty women, because, more than often those pretty women are the cause of your trauma…and Kurt, I´m far too prettier than those women but that is something you´ll never see”
And she is gone leaving Kurt alone with his thoughts.
Kitty is now talking with Rachel. The red hair was training kickbox and kicking the dummy when she saw Kitty. A hug was issued even if she´s on the astral plane. “How are you, Ray?” Kitty asked gentle and Rachel can´t help by crying a little.
“Feeling like shit. It was needed to Krakoa to exist for me to get I´m a lesbian?!” she half-jokes and half cries “I´m happy to be with my family, but, I need to think about myself and my relationships…Kitty, I love you”
Kitty offers a kind smile. “I love you too, Ray, but, you´re not ready for a relationship as I´m not ready either” Rachel nods fully expecting this answer.
“I thought that dating Kurt was somehow a punishment for me, in my timeline, I killed him like a hound, my mother…said is time for me to forgive myself, my timeline is saved, I´m saved but the guilty lingers in. I dated Kurt to punish myself and that surprisingly is not healthy and now, my parents are covering me…not let me be alone with him, yes is fun go with dad to Savage Land but I need time to finally comes to term with myself and what I did and decided which relationships I should cultivate”
“So, a proud space lesbian in the making?”
“In progress. And you?”
“A Bi disaster”
