Unexpected Arrival

oOo

Kurt walked along the dark corridors of the mansion, his torch cutting an arc of light through the shadows.

It was late and he should be sleeping, but he couldn't rest; the warm summer weather was playing havoc with his fur. He was hot and itchy under his covers.

So, he'd taken a shower to cool off, but now he was wide awake. When he checked his alarm it was early morning. Kurt sighed, he was very bored, and after that fiasco in Germany his parents wanted him to spend the rest of the summer holidays in America.

He sighed; it wasn't his fault that his watch had broken in the middle of town square. Everyone had panicked and the police had nearly arrested everyone. But, Kurt and his parents slipped away.

Now he was stuck here, while all his friends where away on holiday. So he decided to get a bit of early training in the Danger Room. Kurt smiled, Logan would be proud.

Suddenly Kurt heard a noise like electricity crackling, he swished the torchlight round to face the dark corridor the noise had come from, the crackling got louder and Kurt started heading down the corridor.

"Storm, is dat you?" Kurt called out, there was no reply.

Suddenly a large blast of light blinded Kurt and he was flung back by electricity that singed his pyjamas and fur. Shielding his eyes Kurt cried out, "Vhat in Gott's name is going on?"

The light dimmed and Kurt looked in amazement, the walls were scorched and the air smelt like electricity.

Kurt looked harder and a figure appeared out of the darkness. Kurt didn't know who the boy was, but, quickly noted down any thing he could in case he had to tell the professor if the boy mysteriously exploded away again.

The boy looked to be about Kurt's age and height; he had scruffy brown hair, piercing blue eyes and pale skin. He wore a shirt and jeans that bore many scorch marks and a long black jacket that seemed undamaged.

The boy grinned wildly and looked about like a kid in a toy factory, he staggered to his left and held onto the wall for support, the wild boy looked down at Kurt and grinned.

"Hi Kurt." He said, before falling to the ground unconscious.

A/N: bit odd so far, but, trust me, this will get a lot better.

Please R&R. Thanks!
