It was after Valentines Day, finally. Piotr slurped the smoothie through the straw as he moved from the food court toward the record store. He loved this flavor and especially enjoyed the fruit and protein laced beverage after an intense workout. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt and a pair of jeans he had purchased with money made from selling one of his paintings. Rasputin stepped into the Record Shop and his mind reeled with all of the possibilities. He still had a hard time picking out CDs. He always got confused, his mind still trying to form the many strange letters into Russian.
His friends told him that he was getting better, he'd begun studying words with more syllables but admittedly it was much harder to learn the new words with Xavier gone. Formerly he would sit in Xavier's study with the wise man and work on his vocabulary as they played chess. He understood the game, it was one of his favorites and one that did not require a great deal of money to become skilled at. He had often wondered if the old man was helping him to learn the words a little easier. In the time since he had played a lot less chess and learned a great deal less. He would be lying if he did not admit that Xavier was still missed greatly by him.
The large Russian stood there, in the doorway of the store, He had money in his wallet but he had no idea of the English name of the group he was looking for. He wanted their new Cd. They inspired him to relax and his painting seemed to flow more easily if he listened to them. Perplexed, Pete sighed and said in his mother tonque, "I do not know where to start."

Kelly woke up with a start in the middle of the morning and whiped the sweat off her forhead. She had been having bad dreams a lot lately and always wanted to wake up and talk to xavier about it only to remember he was gone. She sighed and took a sip of water and tossed 2 blue pills into her mouth and downed them with water. Kelly was BiPolar and taking the proper medication to control it. She opend the blinds and looked out at the nice day beyond the curtins and sighed. She got dressed into a black tang top leotard black short shorts and white tennis shoes. She threw a pair of jeans and a black Guns And Roses t-shirt into a black and red duffle bag along with her ankle brace wrist braces and ace bandages. She would pick up some medical tape on the way.
Kelly was a gymnist and had been doing gymnastics since she was little but not many people knew that. She took her earings out and looked in the mirror and put her brown hair up in a messy bun ontop of her head. She fixed her make up and grabed her car keys walking out of the school and into her black truck. She drove off towards the gym where she would work floor beam and bars for 2 hours then head to the mall for a little shopping.
Wow Kelly was definatly sore after that. She limped a little into the mall as she looked around. She was now wearing dark blue jeans converse and her black guns and roses shirt. Her hair was still in the messy bun ontop of her head and she had black fingerless gloves on. She limped into the record store and took a seat in the back on the floor looking threw a magazine. The last thing she wanted to do right now was walk or stand up. She was finally relaxing when she felt a cd hit her on the head then another then another when finally a whole shelf fell on her. Heh not fun!

Pete was still standing at the front of the shop trying to decide where to start looking. The Russian giant watched his fellow X-woman enter and head to the back. The poor girl was limping badly. Her condition was due no doubt to the hard workings of her body in the work out...ya! He tried his best to follow her, his gaze above the other patrons momentarily distracted by what he thought might be the CD he wanted.
No such luck. He replaced the tiny thin plastic square, it was tiny in his hand anyway. Piotr was careful not to crush it, something he had accidentally done once inside one of those huge Virgin mega stores. He had just been told by Logan what the English translation of the word meant and he had had a hard time concentrating on anything but the fact that he was standing inside a Virgin. In fact, he was still embarrassed now just thinking of the blush he'd worn, even to dinner that night when the feral had reminded him of his reaction.
Since that time, Rasputin had the feeling that Logan kept inviting him to bars for some reason. He did not drink so he could not understand why it suddenly seemed so important to the runt of a man. Shifting gears, the CD safely back in its place or nearly so, Pete glanced over his shoulder to see Kelly collapsed on the floor. Her legs were contorted beneath her body. She looked to have fallen!
Colossus raced to the back of the store, building up too much speed and nearly crashing into a shelf. Well, he did crash into a shelf...unfortunately sending its contents raining down upon the gymnast on the floor. He did manage to keep the shelf itself from falling on her and he was grateful that the shelf had not been full. He smiled sheepishly down at her as he tried to fix the metal wedge unsuccessfully, "Ugh...I do not know where I have come from with this strength and the clumsiness today. I am sorry for this injury to a...self...and...and country!"
He wasn't quite sure if he had found the right words but he was proud just the same, even prouder when he spotted the group he had been looking for in the pile of music that had fallen on the poor girl. He picked up the CD and the girl as well, wrapping her in his massive arms as he joyfully exclaimed his pleasure in Russian and then following that in his own special brand of English, "Thank you to the Kelly for finding these musics!"

Kelly coughed a little when all the cd's fell ontop of her sending up a small cloud of dust. She shoved some Cd's off her lap and shoulders and streched her neck a little. She looked up and noticed Piotr and couldnt help but laugh a little. She pushed more of the Cd's off her lap and dusted her self off a little.
The small 5'1 95 pound Kelly felt her self being lifted off the floor and that just made her laugh even more. "Its fine." She said to when he apolgized. She listend to him thank her for him finding the Cd that fell on her and she smiled. "Any time." She said managing to slip out of his grasp and she looked down at her shoes.
"So what brings you to the mall?" She asked shifting her weight to the leg she wasent limping on. Sure Kelly was pushing her self but she had to be ready for this weekend. Becouse if she won this weekend and next weekend then she would be on the American Olympic team. She looked up at him a little embaressed I meen she was a 5'1 95 pound 16 year old!

Piotr was used to others being smaller than he was and so Kelly's petite size didn't phase him at all. He grinned in reaction to her smile and released her. He was very happy to have found the CD he wanted and so he was on cloud nine. He also thought that his speaking of the English had gone very well. Extremely well as a matter of fact. He grinned widely as she spoke, truly pleased that he was doing so well in America.
He had only been here for about 18 months and so much had already happened. He didn't want to dwell on his time being away from the X-men or his brushes with evil. Today he was happy to be an artist in search of music to inspire his art. He decided then that he would go to the art store and buy himself a few new brushes and a few tubes of paint, "I am taking myself to the paint store."
He took another long pull of the smoothie and looked down at her, "Would you be going to this place with me>"

Kelly smiled and streched her wrists a little bit. She was looking around the store and didnt find a single thing she wanted. She worked a few extra jobs this week so she had a lot of money to spend. One bad thing about Kelly was she wasent a saver. She listend to him say where he was going and she nodded. "Sure thats right by the sports store...I need to go pick up a new knee brace a few rolls of ace bandages medical tape and wrist braces." She said talking more to her self then him.
She walked towards the front of the store limping more now then before and a cd caught her eye. It was the new Bullet For My Valentine CD and she wanted it. She picked it up running her hand over the smooth shiny wrapping and went to the cashier and bought it. She leaned against the wall waiting for him.

((Sorry, thought I had posted here already.))
Colossus moved up to stand behind Kelly in line. He whistled softly to himself as he waited. It was so pleasing to have found the music he was after and in spite of the minor set back with the fallen shelf the day was going really very well. His thoughts turned to maybe rearranging his room to make more room for his painting. If he pushed the bed over against the wall he could place the easel near the window to capture more of the light from the north.
He sighed, anxious to return to the painting he had been working on. It was a portrait of Xavier during happier times. He was working of an old photograph. The painting would become a gift for Ororo. The weather goddess had done much for him, it was time he repaid her in some small way.
She was doing well as the new headmistress. Still he figured that encouragement would always be welcomed. He was torn from his thoughts as the cashier took the CD from his hand and rang up the sale. The Russian paid for the item and then joined Kelly out in the wide hall overlooking the Atrium. He smiled down at her, noticing how the soreness was affecting her badly, "I can help you to walk by carrying you if wanted, yes?"

Kelly was watching a really cute guy walk by while she was leaning against the wall. He was wearing tight jeans a bullet belt that hung off the loops convers a tight black Bullet For My Valentine shirt and his black hair was straight and swoopy in his face. She snapped back into reality and laughed a little at his offer. "No thanks its fine. Its better to walk it off and then go home and take a nice cold bath filled with ice." She said nodding. She looked at her reflection in a store window and smiled. She looked cute today.
((Sorry For the short post. No Muse.))

Piotr nodded in response to her decision to walk. It was fine with him. Besides it probably would have been silly to carry her through the mall. People would have stared at him even more than they already were. A guy in a black tee shirt walked by and Pete was surprised to see the guy look him over and then wink at him. Colossus tried to ignore it as he said,"Let's go."
"See ya later," Pete waved to Kelly as he went to the art store and began to look through the paints and brushes. For him this was like being in a candy store. He only had a little money though. Some of the brushes were almost a hundred dollars in themselves. He turned to the tubes of paint, looking for Cadmium Yellow and Cerulean Blue.
A roll of canvas caught his eye and he decided to buy that and just use his old brushes for a little while longer. The roll of canvas could be stretched over many wooden stretchers and thus become many paintings. He loved stores like this. Pete was filled with so many ideas! He carried the large roll and the two tubes of paint to another area.

((hehe I got bored today so heres some drama. Tell me if you want me to change my post.))
Kelly smiled and told him she would find Pitor when she was done. She limped into the Sports store and walked towards the back. She grabed a few things like a few rolls of medical tape some ace bandages wrsit braces a knee brace and walked over setting the stuff down on a chair infront of the dressing room. She grabed a few cute black shiney green shiney and other leotards and walked to the dressing room. What she didnt notice was the guy she thought was cute follow her.
she walked into the little room thing and shut the curtin buttoning it closed. She slipped off her shirt revealing a tight white tang top that cut off above her belly button and showed off her fit stomach. She was looking at the Leo's thinking of wich one she wanted to try on first and she shoved her hands in her jean pockets.
She got a little cold as she was looking at her self in jeans and a tang top in the mirror. She looked down at her converse and then felt hands on her hips. She took a deep breath and looked down noticing on the right hand there was a black fingerless glove. Hey the guy she though was cute was wearing one on his right hand. He ran his hands up and stoped on her sides. "Woh there buddy." She said getting a little freaked out. Sure he was cute but this was a little much. She noticed that the curtin never opend so she figured he probly teleported in or shimmerd in or something.
He turned her around and pinned her to the wall pinning her hands down as she panicd a little. She charged her hands as they gave off a faint blue light. She grabed one of his wrists and shcked it. He let out a small yell and swung a hand hard across Kelly's face nocking her to the ground. No one else was in the dressing rooms so she was kinda alone on this. She charged her hands again and noticed the lights threw out the store and probly other stores near by dim a little then go back to normal. He knelled on top of her and pinned her hands above her head. She shot a dark blue hot electric bolt at him and it hit him in the shoulder knocking him off of her. She uncharged her hands and went to get up when she felt a foot colide with her side. Ow. That hurt. She clutched her side breathing heavy. He grabed her by her arm and yanked her up and threw her into the wall and pined her there. She managed to let out a loud scream before he coverd her mouth with his hand. She just hoped some one heard her. She could taste blood dripping into her mouth from her nose from when he kneed her in the face.

Piotr was oblivious to the rest of the world around him as he shopped. The world could have ended just outside the store and he might never have known. He adjusted the roll of canvas against his shoulder as he looked through some art books.
He was about to grab another book, this one on modern art, when he heard a faint noise. He would have dismissed it if not for the people outside running passed the front of the art store. He put down the supplies and took off also.
He grew worried when he noticed the people congregating in front of the sporting goods store. He ran now for the store, shouldering his way inside, "Kelly? Where are you?" He couldn't see her anywhere. He'd been afraid that she had lost control of her powers and caused a scene that he would be forced to clean up. He made his way to the back of the store. He wondered just where the girl had gone, "Kelly?"

The guy still had Kelly pinned to the wall with his hand over her mouth as she quickly ran over and managed to block the dressing room door with a shelf from the back. She charged her hands and blasted him into a wall wich he got up and in return hit her with a hard blast of air. She had to admit that was a cool power. Well untill it hit her and nocked her half way across the room knocking the breath out of her. She coughed for air when he walked over and pinned her down again pressing down hard on her wrists making instant bruises. oww. She could still feel the blood from her nose driping down her face.
He bent his head down and pressed his lips hard against hers. Ugh Kelly didnt want this. Sure she still thought he was a cute scene kid but this was going way to far! When he pulled away Kelly heard her name being called and recognized the voice. "PIOTR" She yelled followed by getting punched in the jaw for doing so. She could taste the blood in her mouth and whimperd a little. She was running out of ideas.

"PIOTR"
The large Russian heard his name and made his way back to the dressing rooms. He got the overwhelming sense that something was wrong and as he heard the sound of a body being pushed he reached for the dressing room door and ripped it off the hinges. Pete scowled at the boy in the black t-shirt and lifted him off of Kelly with one hand, "Not good. Not good for you at all."
He looked down at Kelly, her clothes were ripped. It was obvious to Rasputin what had gone down. He thought of his sister and rage filled him. He flung the boy backward into the dressing room across from them and grabbed a sweater off of the nearest door. He handed the garment to Kelly, "Time to go, Kels."
He was worried if he stayed here much longer that he would kill someone.

kelly stood up when Piotr came rushing in and couldnt help but smile. Her shirt was just a little ripped from being thrown into the wall and stuff but her jeans where fine. She took the sweat shirt and slipped it on. She looked at the guy and she was full of anger. She clenched her charged hands and threw one last energy ball and walked out of the dressing room. Her back was bruised and cut up her nose was bleading she had a busted lip and some cuts on her face. She either broke one rib or spraind it bad. She sighed a little. She grabed the few things off the shelf she was coming in to get in the first place and figured she would just come back for the leo's and shorts she was going to buy.
She waited out side the store for Piotr and cracked her neck a little. She felt bad this had to happen butshe didnt want it to ruin his day. Besides this wasent the first time something like that happend to Kelly. She peeked her head back in the store as security was running down the walk way. "Come on Piotr we can go to the paint store." She said smiling slightly.

"Come on Piotr we can go to the paint store."
The large Russian nodded in response. His anger was still apparent for all to see. It was almost as if he had transformed into his steel for, the gathered people backing away from the pair as they left the store. And the chaos behind. He looked on grimly as the mall security ran toward them.
One of them gave him a once over as if to see if he was a threat. Piotr smiled at him, knowing what he would find inside the back of the store. Piotr half-way wanted the boy in the black shirt to press charges against him. He had tried to rape Kelly. He had deserved all that he had gotten in response. Noticing all of the commotion and also knowing that fingers would eventually point to them, Piotr said, "I think the paint must wait for another day. Too much trouble is here."
He pushed open the exit doors and walked through them, "Let's go home. Too much fun for one day I think."
