I do not own the X-men. They are the private property of Marvel and even if
I did pretend that they were mine everyone would just think that I was a
loony.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
An airhostess grabbed her friend's arm and pointed in the direction of a blond girl three rows in front of them. They were in a relatively small plane heading for Bayville, most of the people were on this flight because it was a lot cheaper than getting a ticket to New York.
"You see that girl?" she whispered quietly
"Yeah?" her friend replied
"When ever I say anything to her, and I mean anything, she bursts into tears. Do yourself a favour and don't offer her a drink unless she asks for one" The other hostess was very confused but she trusted her friends judgment and did as she was told.
As She passed the girl she understood. Her hair was messy and her face was incredible blotchy.
The girl's name was Danielle and she was on an Atlantic flight from her home country Germany, hoping to find some people called 'The X-Men'. Danielle was in terrible trouble and she didn't know who to turn to. She had been crying for almost 24 hours straight and even now she had only just begun to calm down
She ordered a Coke in a heavy accent, Danielle was sure that she was being given odd looks but she probably deserved them. She had been crying on and off since she had arrived and it clearly annoyed the other passengers.
The minute the plane had landed she was out, half blinded by tears she ran out of the airport and jumped into the first Taxicab she saw. In the same accent she asked to be taken to The Xavier School for the Gifted. She spoke slowly as if she had only just become accustom to English.
When she had arrived Danielle looked up at the mansion in amazement through her tears.
She tried opening the gates but they wouldn't work. Danielle was getting scared and desperate and threw her backpack over the fence before climbing over herself. Just before she jumped off her Jeans got caught on one of the spikes and as she jumped her foot stayed behind. Danielle fell down and hit her head, hard on the bottom of the gate.
Her Jeans ripped and she hit the ground. Danielle felt her own blood running down the side of her face.
Picking up her bag she thundered down the path, her breathing was jagged and hurried. If she had been in a better frame of mind she would have looked at the trees and the garden with more interest but she was afraid of what might happen if she did not get to the door as soon as possible.
Once she had reached it Danielle was appalled to find that it was locked and began to pound at it.
"Hello?? Helloo!!!??" Rogue was walking past and was surprised to see her and opened the door.
"Hey! Who're you?" she asked, Danielle's face became twisted in confusion
"Kurt" she managed "I..Kurt..must see" She tried to push her way in desperately
"Hey! You are NOT comin' in here! How do ah know that you're not a fake huh?"
"Please let me in!! You don't understand! Lives are at stake here!!!" Danielle began to cry again "I must see Kurt!!"
Kurt suddenly teleported downstairs, he had heard screams in German and wanted to know what was going on
"Danny!" He exclaimed "What are you doing here?" Danielle broke free of Rogue and ran towards him. Kurt smiled until he saw her face, they hugged each other tightly before he pulled away and asked for an explanation
"What's happened?" he asked
"Oh Kurt!!! The..village..the people" Danny gasped for breath and chocked on her own tears
"What about our village?" Kurt was getting worried now. Danielle didn't know any English (Or hardly any at the most) she wouldn't have come to America unless it was really important. He didn't even notice that the others were forming a crowd
"It was so terrible!! My mum and dad! The houses!" fear crept into Kurt's voice
"What about mine! What about my parents?!" He shook Danielle by the shoulders, probably harder than he needed to
"Kurt, are you." Kitty started tentatively
"My parents!!" Kurt yelled "What's happened" with no warning Danielle cried loudly and everything came out in a rush of words
"The village was burned down Kurt! There's nothing left! All the Villagers were taken and I was the only one who escaped!" Kurt and Danielle stared at each other for a while, he let go of her shoulders and began to sway on his feet
"Oh my God he's about to faint!" Jean gasped but Kurt stayed upright.
"You have to tell me everything" He said to her
"No, you have to return to Germany and save both of our families, cousin" Danielle replied
