Jack's Love: Okay my X-Men fans, first of all, I'd like to tell you that
I'm a big Nightcrawler fan. As are a lot of you out there.....I hope.
Anyway, I hope you will like the character I have created. It took some
time to think of her powers because there are so many X-Men and I want to
make her different. It might take a short while to get the chapters up
because I've injured my hands and it hurts to type but I'm getting faster.
:) I forgot to say that this takes place four months after X2....moving
on..... (Also my other story which I'm still writing is Pirate at Heart.
Y'all should read it including this one.)
Disclaimer: None, I repeat, none of the X-men or Marvel-related characters belong to me. *Points* So don't sue, I have connections to lawyers.
Author's Note: If you people even THINK about flaming....there will be hell to pay!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Oh and Nightcrawler's attitude is more sarcastic, charming, and happy. Like in the comics.
Chapter 1: Recruiting the Next X-Man **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** *******
Inara Drake stood behind stage ready to preform her dance. This particular Los Angelus club is meant only for Middle-Eastern dancers not bright blonde Americans, but the manager lets her put on wigs for cover. Her eyes, though, give her away most of the time. Having piercing ice blue eyes is not the best to have at the club Taste of the Middle-East. Nor is blonde hair. But somehow, Inara gets by. Inara is formly known as the Crystal Goddess at the club because she spontaneously creates crystal, lighting up the show. She's been working here for about three years and lately, she's noticed a strange man in the crowd almost everyday. He's always wearing sunglasses, red to be exact. She notices that he always watches her. Inara didn't really care though, he was really good looking and if was obsessed with her that's okay.
Nervously, Inara ran out on stage while the curtains were closed and got in dancing stance. When the curtains opened, the music started, and she noticed the strange man but he brought a friend this time. Inara couldn't see any of his features though. He was completely covered it clothing, including a hat. As the man with the sunglasses talked, his friend nodded yes as if he was receiving orders. She started to dance, listening to the coins shaking on her outfit. The sunglasses man left, leaving his friend who was dressed like the Shadow.
Inara danced on the stage amazing the crowd. She created a fence of crystals around her in which she dances in. Suddenly, Inara was hit in the shoulder by a glass from the audience. She fell to the floor in pain.
An angry man from the audience screamed, "Freak!" The man ran on stage, security chasing after him, he jumped over the crystals and started beating Inara. Punching and swinging and cursing whenever he got the chance. Security ran up to the man and grabbed him by the shoulders. Inara was crying, then the pain and sadness turned to anger.
As soon as the man was pulled off, Inara stood up, and said, "I don't like being picked on, ass hole." She raised her hand and a blue light came out. The guards backed away from the man, confused. As the light hit the man, he started to crystalize in place. Inara's pupils turned white and her ires grew a deeper blue.
The crowd screamed, "The mutant is dangerous! Run!" Everybody headed toward the exits. All except the clothes-covered man who still sat st his chair.
Inara ran off stage, crying. Her manager, Jacob Hess, ran after her to stop and calm her down. Ignoring him, Inara ran to her dressing and started to put her normal clothes on. She took off her wig and threw it on the counter, grabbed her gym bag, and ran out of the back door of the club.
Still sobbing, Inara walked slowly down the alley and was stopped by the strange clothes man. Inara looked at him with anger.
"What do you want?" Inara spat harshly.
The man said with a heavy German accent, "I need to talk to you. My name is Kurt Wagner." He moved in closer.
"No way I'm gonna talk with a guy I don't even know. Do I have stupid written on my forehead?" Inara said walking past Kurt in disgust.
Kurt grabbed her wrist and turned her around and said, "Wait all I want to do is talk. I don't want to hurt you."
Inara looked at the Kurt's hand on her wrist. Only, it didn't seem like a hand. It only had three fingers and was dark blue. Her eyes widened in disbelief and fear.
"What are you?" she asked trying to find his eyes. Kurt didn't want to make eye contact.
Inara sighed and said, "If you want to talk to me, you have to catch me." She kneed him in the stomach, he let go and bent over in pain. She flipped back and went into a fighting stance.
"I don't want to fight, I just want to talk to you about some things," he said, still bent over holding his gut in pain. When Kurt stood up, he had no hat or scarf on, revealing his blue skin with carvings and yellow eyes.
Inara raised an eyebrow. "Holy shit," she said quietly to herself.
Kurt ran foward and went for a punch, Inara ducked and threw in a punch at his gut. He recovered quickly and kicked her in the gut complete with a punch in the face. She flew back and landed on the cement. Standing up, Inara's pupils turned white and she shot three crystal spikes at Kurt. He teleported behind Inara and put her in an arm lock.
The spikes hit the back wall of the club, it's structure not even cracking. Inara struggled and flipped over Kurt's shoulder which put him in her an arm lock. Kurt's was amazed at the advanced skill she had in fighting. He knew he had to win this fight and convince her that she belonged with the X-Men.
He teleported out of the arm lock and against the wall of the club. Inara pulled out her master weapons, sai. She twirled them in her hands then threw one of them at Kurt's head. He ducked but the sai was too close for comfort. (To see sai go to: this particular pair of sai is from the comic elektra the assassin. Inara's are light crystal and her own creation).
Kurt took the sai in the wall, teleported in front of Inara, and they began a small sword fight. The weapons tinged as they hit each other. Finally, Inara kicked Kurt's sai out of his hand and she caught it as it flew in the air. Just before she could get in a good swing, Kurt grabbed both her wrists and pinned her against the wall.
"I caught you. Now will you talk?" Kurt asked trying to catch his breath. "What's your name?" he asked again.
Inara smiled, kneed him in the groin, and slammed him against the wall. She put the sai to his throat. Kurt grunted in extreme pain but didn't bend over.
"My name is Inara Drake. Nice to meet you," she said smiling in pride.
Kurt looked at her with a curious expression. "Is your brother Bobby Drake?" he asked.
Inara hands went down to her waist. "He's my cousin and how do you know who he is?" she asked her anger bottling up.
"He lives at the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. It's a school for mutants. I was ordered to recruit you. The Professor thought he could help you," Kurt explained.
"I don't need your people's help," Inara said harshly. She walked over and picked up her gym bag and started walking home.
Kurt ran up to and offered, "Why don't you just come and try it out and if you don't like it you can go home."
Inara looked at Kurt and smiled. "So Bobby's a mutant?" she asked thinking it was funny of her silly cousin being a mutant.
Kurt nodded yes and smiled. Inara sighed and rolled her eyes. "I'll come with you."
