DISCLAIMER:
Pryde and Wisdom and Excalibur are trademarks of
Marvel Comics. This story is an unauthorized work done purely for my personal
enjoyment, and is not intended to infringe on any of their rights in or profits
from these characters. But this story is copyright to me.
WARNING:
THERE IS EXPLICIT SEX IN THIS STORY. I marked this clearly
in the header. The sex is graphic, but all loving and consensual (and not that
much worse than a typical romance novel). If reading sex scenes like that would
offend you, please don't read this.
NOTES:
This story is a romantic/erotic interlude that has no
justification for existence other than it's fun, and Linda wanted it.
For continuity freaks, this story takes place within my series immediately after Kitty's and Pete's first night together after Dream Nails, as shown in flashback in Part 3 of "You Can't Go Home Again," which puts it between Excalibur issues #90 and #91.
BACKGROUND EXPLANATION:
I started this series soon after Excalibur
#92 (Pete vs Pete), and have made no effort to keep this within more recent
Marvel continuity. In particular, I am ignoring the whole Onslaught/Dark Xavier
mess, and Dark Beast, also. Xavier in this story may be dark, but it's his own
fault; I don't accept Onslaught as an excuse for Xavier to act like a jerk. I'm
treating Logan as basically normal, I just don't feel up to writing feral
Wolverine. I'm also ignoring Betsy and the Crimson Whatever. And I've also
ignored a lot of little things Ellis has done with Pryde and Wisdom since then,
not because I don't accept them (I revere Ellis as gospel), but because it would
involve too much minor revision.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
I'd like to thank Suzie, sevenall, Carolyn, DuAnn and
Linda for all their comments and suggestions. And I didn't think of the ways
Pete uses his powers on Kitty in this story -- that was a suggestion in an email
which I cannot now find in all my clutter, so I can't give proper credit, but
whoever it was came up with this -- you know who you are. :-)
MISCELLANEOUS:
This is one story in a series of loosely-plotted
stories entitled "Idylls of the Cat" that are mostly Pryde and Wisdom, and the
others' reaction to Kitty's new relationship. Most of the stories in the series
are not action or adventure, they're mainly sex and/or conversations, like this
one. Other stories in the series so far include

Prologue (excerpt from "You Can't Go Home Again')
"Well, Pryde, that's a great bedtime story... just about put me to sleep..." Wisdom was stretched out comfortably now, on his side, one hand supporting his head, the other running casually over Kitty's body wherever he could reach easily. She was pleased to see his troubled look had faded as she reminisced.
"I do pride myself on my bedtime fairy tales, thank you very much... The point is, Pete, can you tell me which particular part of that time you think you took advantage of me? I came to you, I wanted you, just as much as you wanted me. The only difference was your experience. You knew exactly what it was you wanted, maybe I didn't. But I wanted you just as much after we were done as I did before..."
"Yeah, you sure did, considerin' how we stayed in bed an', y'know, did it over an' over next day," he leered at her. She blushed, and punched him in the side lightly.
