Hey, thanks for reading! To be true, i have been thinking about making this in a long time,
but wasn't sure if i would do it or not, as i'm in the meantime am writing other stories too,
But as i couldn't resist, i ended up doing it anyway.. So hope you like it!

I don't own x-men..

It was Sunday morning, 8:00am to be exactly, and everyone was already up, ready to meet their possible new teammate Kitty Pryde.
They were all truly excited to meet her, except Kurt, who was terrified.
Then again, he was sure she would be really sweet, as all the others had been to him.
In this one week he had been drinking sodas in the kitchen with Scott, small talked with Jean,
who made him company in looking out the window in the living room, and then Logan, who hadn't threatened to slice him into pieces… Yet.
Ororo too had been very sweet, letting him help her with her beloved plants, indicating that she trusted him pretty much already,
as almost no one was allowed to even touch her babies. And then there was the professor,
who in only one week had been the closest of a father he have ever had, as he only have been having a mother all his life.
They had been talking about a lot of private stuff the first day he arrived, and before he got introduced to Jean and Scott,
and one of those things had been reasons to have a room of his own. The biggest reason had been nightmares.
He told him about his past, both the good and bad parts of it, and how he had went from sleeping well at night, to almost not sleeping at all.
Of cause he too had good nights where he just slept without worrying, but if he ended in a room with another roommate,
he would possibly keep them awake as well. So he ended with a room of his own,
which even had a private balcony he could use if he needed some fresh air,
and until now, it surely had been used almost every night all seven days in the week, as he found it harder to sleep other places than home.
He was sure someone anytime soon would break into his room, and do something horrible to him.
The professor had told him, that no one could break into the ground, but it still felt very unsafe, and especially now,
when a new person would have to live under the same roof as him. Who knew what would happen when she saw him?
He sure had an image-inducer to change his appearance, but the professor had told him to show up as himself,
and even took it from him to be sure he would do as told. So now he sat at the balcony in his own blue self, trying to get a sneak peak on her.

As she got out of the big black car, he hurried away and back into his room, in fear to be seen.
He hurriedly brushed his teeth and combed his hair, hoping that if he at least didn't have that awful bed hair,
and if his teeth was as white as possible, she wouldn't be too scared of him. Suddenly a voice appeared in his head,
telling him to hurry up and get down to the entrance hall. He finished what he was doing, and instead of running down all the stairs,
chose to port down there instead.

...

In the meantime at the entrance..

There she was, standing in front of total strangers, as they looked her up and down. She found the whole situation awkward,
but she couldn't go back now. Her parents trusted Charles, and so she had to do the same.
They surely seemed nice all of them, even the big bread who was excessively hairy.
Actually, they might end up as a second family as soon as she got to know them.
The only thing that shocked her was the fact, that she seemed to be the only teenager there, making her fell a little moody, but just a little.
As she was just about to ask if there were anyone else living there, a sudden BAMF came from behind her.
The sound made her feel a shiver down her spine, and then an awful smell of brimstone appeared.
She slowly turned around, afraid of whomever had appeared behind her back, and as she got a good look at him,
a loud and high pitched scream could be heard, followed by a loud and painful smack, when she gave him the biggest slap in the face,
one could possibly imagine a girl of her age could ever give anyone, and then ran outside, on her way back to the car.
But as she ran to it, it just drove away.
Then she yelled back to the professor, almost crying: "I'm sorry, I really am, but I can't live under the same roof as a demon, I just can't!
Jean suggested that she could go out and talk to her, and maybe get her on other thoughts, and the professor just nodded,
before he himself went to poor Kurt, who stood as paralyzed, only moving just enough to take his hand to his burning red cheek.
"Hey, you okay buddy?" Scott asked, only to get eye contact to a almost crying elf.
"She hid me.." He simply said, before he vanished in a puff of smoke. "Do you want me to go and talk to him?" Scott asked Charles.
"No Scott, let him be, he might need some time alone" He simply added, before he wheeled outside to see how Jean was doing.
"Let him be? Are you serious? He just got slapped for no reason, and you just want to leave him alone?!" He got no answer.

..

I'm sorry Jean, I really am, but you can't make me stay here, not as long as a demon is running around in there!
I'll just go and call my parents, and tell them it was a mistake coming here."

Kitty stood up, as Charles came to meet her.

"Hello again Kitty, what is it i hear about leaving?"

"I'm sorry sir, but it was a mistake coming here. I know I promised you to give it a try, but i just can't"

"I promised your parents to take care of you, and so I will. I'll find a way to make you stay, as I know you will be happy here.
Just give me some time, and I'll find out of something. In the meantime, I'll make Ororo go and see our big and beautiful garden, right?"
He looks at Ororo, who had just stopped up beside him.

"Sure, I'm sure you'll like it."

As they trailed of, Charles wheeled back inside..

"So chuck, what are we gonna do now?" Logan asked.

"I'm not sure. If I let Kurt stay, Kitty will leave, which would end up disappointing her parents. But in the same time,
I can't make Kurt leave either, as he doesn't have anything good to go home too."

Logan nodded. He knew the boy had been through a rather dark experience back home, but then again didn't know more or less.
He then got an eye on the image inducer that Charles was currently holding in his hands..

"So, are you gonna give elf his watch back, or.."

"Yes, but I might have gotten a idea how to get them both to stay.."
Charles said smiling, and then told Logan about his plan, before he left to Kurt's room..

..

As he came inside, Kurt was looking at himself in the mirror, tears streaming down his face.

"I still can't believe she did that! I know I look strange, but not evil, do i?"

"No, you just scared her, that's all."

"Yeah sure, I heard every word she said outside, she thinks I'm a demon, and don't want to stay as long as I'm here, not that really blame her.."

He walked away from the mirror, and went to sit on his bed, feeling a little hurt.

"You know I won't say no to anyone who needs my help, neither you nor her, but as long as she's too scared,
I'll need you to do something very challenging and demanding"

"And what's that professor?"

"I'll ask you to wear your image-inducer every day, not just in school, but also at the institute, or at least when Kitty isn't near you,
as in your room. It won't be too long I hope, just until she gets to know the real you, and the day that happens, you can show the real you. Got it?"

"Sure, I guess. But I don't really wan't to befriend her right now, not after what she did to me.."

"That's understandable, take the time you need, and when you're ready to give her a chance, tell me.
But more or less, we have a agreement?" Charles ask, taking out his right hand for a hand shake."

"Sure, we have a deal.." He answered, before shaking the old man's hand.
"But what are you gonna tell her?"

"The only thing i think will make her believe me.. You were simply playing a trick on her.."
