Author's Notes: Please read.
Ryu-Sama - This is NOT an OC story. I stole some characters from an anime and threw them in a blender with X-men Evolution. If you can recognize who they are, then you get..... cyber-pocky!!!
Of course, this story is AU, and the characters from the anime are going to be (at least some of them are) mutants. I kinda liked this idea, and just so you know, I don't know enough about XE to be able to keep to the proper timeline and everything... It will be sometime after the "new mutants" show up.
And don't yell at me for my "mistakes" I'm making them on purpose! *winks* Everything has a purpose...
Anywhos... If anyone bothered to read this part, thank you. *passes out cyber-cookies to those who actually read the authors notes*

The boy shuffled his feet nervously as he got off of the train. Why the Father sent him here was beyond him. This was a place for MUTANTS. He didn't want to be a mutant.
He glanced around the station, hoping that the people he was supposed to meet weren't there.
"Hey, miss," a gravelly voice said from behind him, "we're looking for a boy named Duo..."
The boy spun around and glared at the man who had been speaking. He announced, in a surprisingly deep voice, "I am Duo! And I'm a guy, not a 'miss'!"
The tall man blushed, though it was hard to tell, as a short teen poked him in the side, laughing. "You should never assume, Logan. You vill never make a good teacher if you forget zat."
"Shut up, Elf. Sorry, kid. My mistake."
Duo glared at them suspiciously. These were probably the people sent for him, from the "institute".
"Sorry," said the teen that the big man called "Elf", "Logan has a bad habit of judging a book by it's cover."
"Moron."
"Fell off my pedestal, zen, Logan? Ven did it become just 'Moron', instead of 'Vuzzy Moron' or 'Moronic Elf'?"
Well, if the locals insulted each other this much without fighting, then it couldn't be that bad a place, right?
"Logan, Duo, ze Professor said not to take too long. So since you both already know eachozer's names, I'll just have to introduce myself. I'm Kurt Vaugner. Please to meet you Duo." Kurt grinned.
Duo hesitantly offered his hand. Kurt made no move to take it.
"Ja... You'll have to vait a while for zat one, I'm afraid... Sorry."
"Huh?"
"The Elf doesn't like people to touch him if they don't know him," said the big man, Logan.
"Ja. Don't vorry too much about zat, zough. You'll see vhy, later. Okay?"
"Uhm... yeah..."
"Vell, here's ze car. Can I drive, Logan?"
"Sure, why not?" Logan sighed.
So they made good time reaching the institute. Really good time. The ride was kind of fun, but it would have been more fun if Logan hadn't kept yelling at Kurt to "Slow down, you fuzz-brained moronic elf!"
Admittedly, Kurt had been going at least fifty miles over the speed limit... But it was fun. And Duo cheered him on. After all, he avoided so many accidents in the first minute, that he just HAD to have had really good reflexes.
There is only one way to put this. Kurt was cool, no matter if he had a phobia of touching people or not. He was just plain awesome.

When they got there, Kurt grinned at Duo. "See? I got promoted."
"Huh?"
"I got promoted from 'Moronic Elf' to 'Fuzz-brained Moronic Elf'. He only uses long insults on people he likes."
Duo wrinkled his nose as they walked to the front gates. Kurt paused, looking at him oddly. "What? Do I have something on my face?"
"Ja. A nose. But zat vasn't vhat I vas looking at... And here I vas, zinking zat your eyes vere blue. Zey look kinda purple, now. Cool."
Logan pushed him forward.
"Vas? Vhat did I do?"
"We should be getting inside, not conversing about each other's oddities. At least, not yet."
Duo glanced between them. "What kind of oddities have you guys got? You look kind of normal to me."
"For now," said Kurt.
"What do you mean?"
"Zis isn't vhat I really look like. It's a disguise, really..." he was cut off by Logan pushing him forward again. "Vas?!"
"Keep moving, Elf."
"I got demoted?"
"Yes. You got demoted. Now get moving."
"Ja, ja... Fine, I'm moving... Vhat did I ever..... Heh.... Never mind..." he disappeared through the huge glass double-doors.
~*~
"Uhm, Professor?"
"Yes, Duo?"
"Where'd Kurt go? I thought he'd be in here."
"Kurt's coming. Only because I asked him to, though." The man in the wheelchair sighed. "He doesn't like scaring the new recruits."
"Why would I be scared of him? He seemed like a really cool guy, if a bit odd."
"Vhy vould you be scared? I scare every... vell, almost everybody." Kurt grinned at him from the door. "Are you a religious type?"
"Not really."
"Kurt," the Professor spoke up, "turn off the Inducer."
"Must I?"
Duo frowned. What could be so bad about his appearance that he didn't want to be seen?
~@~
Ryu-Sama - What indeed? Will Duo be scared? What are Duo's powers? Will Duo stick around long enough to meet the others after Kurt turns off his Inducer? Will Kurt even turn it off? All this and more (maybe) will be answered in the next chapter, which will be out when (if) I get a few reviews! Tell me what you think. Is it good? Bad? Did it suck royal ass? Or did you (Kami-sama forgive me for this blasphemy) actually like it?
C'mon people! I live for reviews!! Tell me all! Or else my happy thoughts will go away!! Wah!!!
Max - *glares at Ryu-Sama* Why did you bother to give them food? *grumbles* Muses need to eat too, you know.
Ryu-Sama - What?
Max - I just happen to be hungry.
Ryu-Sama - .............. Again?
