Nightcrawler awoke, startled he looked around, everything was dark. "Vere am I?" He wondered aloud.
"You," said a voice as the lights flashed on, "are in my secret laboratory." Then Nightcrawler remembered what had happened. He had been captured by Professor McClain, an evil man who captured mutants for his own purposes, though he told the public otherwise.
"Now, when would you like to start the testing?" Taunted McClain, he smiled wickedly and laughed, "I'll give you a night to think about it, creature!" He left the room and Nightcrawler strained against the metal straps that held him to the testing table.
Sandra, preferably called Sadie, listened to her father and brothers' conversations intently. They were talking about a "creature" called Nightcrawler. She had to see it, being a 12 year old with some secrets of her own. She felt the urgent need to go see the "creature." Sadie had seen all the newscasts on anti-mutant riots and evil mutant attacks. Sadie didn't understand, why couldn't people accept mutants? Sadie had always wondered this ever since she had heard her father's evil thoughts. She hadn't known what hit her, she had fallen, crashing to the floor with a headache. She was a mutant, she was a telepath. She didn't know the extent of her powers, but being a mutant was enough. Her father was hated by all mutants, whom he treated like slaves, and Sadie shuddered to think what would happen if he found out about her powers.
Sadie had gotten the numerous pass codes to the secret laboratory and knew that was the only security, dumb.
She made her way to the secret entrance. She was home alone, and thought about her 19 year old brother who was a mutant too had submitted to his father freely and was second-in-command of the corporation. He had the power of white flames, big deal, they were no hotter than normal red ones though one might think so. Also he had the ability to drain other fire users powers, that was the scary part. She punched in the 9 codes and she was in. Sadie walked down the narrow hallway. Sadie wondered how her father, not being especially thin, managed to get through here. She came to a door and punched in yet another code as the door opened she drew in a sharp breath of fright and excitement as she saw the testing table turned away from her.
"Zat vas qvick, McClain," said the "creature" strapped to the table. The voice startled her, so she let out a quiet but noticeably girlish squeak. She heard the thing shift trying to look at her. She began to back away but then took a deep breath and walked up to the table. What she saw was not scary at all, at least not to her. He was nothing like the "evil" mutant her father had described. For one thing he was blue. She had to admit he was weird, he had three fingers on each of his hands, and three toes instead of five on each of his feet. He also had a long spade-ended tail. They looked at each other for a long time. Finally the mutant asked, "Who are you?"
Sadie couldn't speak, she tried but nothing came. She thought maybe I could think at him. 'I am Sadie,' she thought.
The mutant looked at her funny, "Vat are you, a telepath?"
"Yes," she managed to say.
"Vait, you must be being controlled by McClain..."
"NO!"
"Ow. Ow... vatch it."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know I could do that." (Sadie had accidentally hit him with something similar to a mind bolt.)
"So zen if you are not being controlled..."
"He doesn't know..."
"Zen how did you get in here?"
"I'm... his daughter. Please don't hate me, I do not have any feelings for him or his works!" The mutant looked skeptical. "I'll prove it to you!" With that Sadie focused on the straps that held the mutant and they snapped open. Sadie fell to the ground her head swirling. She mumbled to the mutant, "What's your power?" He looked at her quizzically and she said, "I need to know what your power is so I can turn off the device that disables your power."
"I teleport," said the mutant.
"OK," said Sadie as she got up and typed the info into one of the computers and she heard a beep and said, "There you go. What's your name?"
"I go by Nightcrawler," replied the mutant.
She stood up and immediately fell against the wall. "Oh my head," she moaned. Nightcrawler, or Kurt, put his hand on her shoulder. "No," she said, "you have to go, this is all I can do."
"I could take you vith me," said Nightcrawler.
"I..." Sadie was interrupted by footsteps and voices coming up the hall. "Go! Go! Go!" She said.
"But..." said Nightcrawler.
"I'll manage," she said. "good bye Kurt Wagner," The mutant looked at her with a face of mixed emotions. BAMF, Nightcrawler was gone.
Five years later
Kurt woke up drenched in sweat. He had another horrible nightmare. Or was it something else? All he knew was that he was getting images of McClain's laboratory. He would get random, quick, headaches, and they were becoming more frequent. It started as a once a month thing, now it was once a week. Sadie, wherever she was, was suffering, he knew it.
Sadie was suffering. Her father and brother had caught her red-handed or should I say violet-eyed! She didn't know for how long, but her father had put her in a liquid so she wouldn't cause trouble. The liquid was an artificial nutrition source that kept Sadie alive but didn't require much. Her body just went to sleep. Now she was awake and was put through many scientific tests. Her father made an armored suit that gave him complete control over her. There was little she could do. She didn't mean to bother Nightcrawler but she couldn't stand the pain. The outward pain, and the inner pain that her father was doing this to her.
Wolverine, Gambit, Kurt, and Rogue were sitting in the teacher's lounge of Professor X's school.
"Anudder hard days work," said Gambit who's real name is Remy.
"Yer tellin' me," said Wolverine, "Those kids were bouncin' off th' walls t'day!" He taught Physical Education. Wolverine began to complain about certain students who were ticking him off.
Remy turned toward Kurt and asked, "Are y' okay, Kurt? Y' haven't said a word an' y' don' look so good."
"I haven't gotten much sleep," replied Kurt.
"Really, mebbe y' should take a break."
"Nein I zink I'll be fine.'
"Well..." Remy was interrupted by Cyclops who burst into the room.
He said, "Professor McClain has captured Storm!"
"What?" They all asked.
"How?"
"When?"
"Vhere is she now?"
"Hey, cut it out! All I know is that I found her headdress and this tape that should explain a lot."
"Well, put it in already." said Logan.
"Ok Jeese!"
'Hello X-men' it was Pr. McClain, 'I have Storm. I want you to come to my mansion for a little test I have prepared for you all. Nightcrawler, I'm thinking you may have a guess what it is.' The tape cut with a laugh that echoed through their minds, then they all turned to Kurt who said one word.
"Sadie."
The X-men were at Prof. McClain's mansion. Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Gambit went one way, Cyclops and Rogue went the other. They began to work their way around the mansion. Kurt was wary expecting Sadie to pop out and attack.
"So who is dis Sadie girl y' were talkin' 'bout?" Asked Gambit.
"She saved me from Professor McClain zat time five years ago... she's a telepath, does telekinesis, und some kind of mind bolt. Her father must have found out..."
"Oh great, a telepath, keep this un away from Scott," Wolverine said, looking around as though expecting his teammate to blast him from behind.
"Well, less jus' get dis over wid," said Remy, smirking at Wolverine's comment. Suddenly the grass they were standing on spun around and they wound up face first in a large stadium-like arena.
"Welcome X-men," said the voice of Pr. McClain. "Let's not waste time," there was a beeping noise, a panel in the floor opened up, and a figure rose out of it. It looked much like a robot with an armored body and a shield-like mask covering its face.
"A sentinel?" questioned Logan.
"nein I think it's..." Kurt replied.
"How do you like my new daughter? Hahahahahahaha!" He laughed, "Now for why you are here..." Out of another panel rose Storm she was in a iron cage. "Go on X-men, go and get her!"
'NO!' a voice told Kurt
"Now, Sandra, no communicating with the enemy!" The robot-like Sadie cringed in pain as her father shocked her!
"Remy, Stop!" Kurt yelled, but it was too late. Remy crossed over a line he hadn't noticed and a beam shot out of the wall, hitting him. He flew across the room and hit the other side.
"Attack now!" Yelled McClain. The Sadie grabbed Wolverine with a telekinesis attack, he was pushed against the wall. Kurt teleported behind Sadie and hit her from behind. "Ich Bedaure," he mumbled.
'It's okay' Sadie thought to him.
"Now, Sandra, what have I just talked to you about?" Asked McClain mockingly, "don't try to talk with the enemy!" Sadie slumped lower but the armor held her up.
'Kurt, hurry before he...'Sadie thought desperately.
"Sandra, don't disobey me!" her father said, agitated.
'...Get your friend with the claws...'
"Sandra, stop it at once!" Yelled McClain.
'...Get him to slash across my back...'
"SANDRA!" McClain shrieked.
'...hurry...' Sadie began to lean forward, '...before he makes me attack you again...I'll ...die.'
"Hurry, Volverine, zere's a device on her back controlling her. I vant you to cut it, but don't kill her!"
"Fine, why d'y' insist she's alive?" Wolverine asked.
"She saved my life und I owe it to her, plus her father is going to kill her, und us, if ve don't do somzing! Now hurry!" Kurt replied hurriedly.
"Ok, here goes nothin'!" Wolverine said. He jumped up, right over Sadie, and slashed out. The armor just fell off and so did the tubes of liquid. Sadie collapsed.
"How dare you!" Shrieked McClain. "You have gotten Sandra but you will never get Sto..."
"Dere y' wrong," said Remy who had been working on the cage that held Storm and she was now free. Storm flew and scooped up the limp body of Sadie, then asked Kurt, "Would you please get us out of here?"
"Of course, Fraulein," replied Kurt.
"Lets just get Rogue an' Cyke an' get out o' here," said Logan. McClain was throwing a fit, raging about, although all you really observed of it was the screaming. An alarm went off. KABOOM, there was now a large hole in the wall, Rogue and Cyclops peered in and realized they had missed out on the fun. But they were just in time for the running away part.
Back at the X-mansion
Professor Xavier had gotten Sadie back on real foods and her health was rising. She went through daily mind therapy classes to help restore her psyche. She slept a lot and when Hank finally allowed visitors Sadie was very happy to see them all. She especially thanked Kurt and Wolverine (Logan) but she thanked them all for rescuing her. For the first time in a very long time Sadie felt safe.
Authors Note: No, Sadie and Kurt are not paired (for those who were wondering) ,Sadie is not going to be paired with any of the X-men!
