Kitty was the last person to enter the house from a normal school day seeing every one was gathered around Beast and Storm for some odd reason.

"Hay guys, like what's going on?"

Scot was the first one to speak. "The professor called, he says he has a special gift for the institute."

Kitty gave a confused look, "Like wow, a gift!" she smiled happily. "Like I can't wait! When do we get to see it?"

"Right now." The professor's voice came from behind her as he rolled though the door.

Every one turned to face Professor X.

"So what is it professor? A new car?" Evan asked tossing up a random idea playfully.

The man gave a short giggle, "No, no, nothing like that, what I have is something we must all be responsible for, and I do mean every one." He said making sure they all heard him including the other adults in the room, the only one missing was Logan but he knew he couldn't expect much from him for it to matter anyways.

"We understand professor." Jean replied glancing at every one knowing she was speaking for everybody.

"So like, where is it?" Kitty asked getting excited.

Professor grinned and turned his head to look over his shoulder and gave a short sweet whistle.

In less then a second of the sound made a puff of smoke appeared in front of Xavier.

Every one was speechless.

In front of them all was a creator unlike any had ever seen. It was covered in blue fur, three fingers, two toes, a prehensile tail, and elf like ears, with blue-black hair.

"Wow! Cool!" Evan said with a smile, he walked over to it and noticed when it stood up on its back legs it was about as tall as him. "Who! Dude he's like tall."

"So like, what is it, some kind of mutant dog demon or something?" Kitty asked getting close to it.

"A mutant cat demon actually." Xavier grinned. "And it's called a Nightcrawler."

"Nightcrawler?" Scott asked now also getting closer.

The professor nodded, "And 'it' is a boy, so make sure you all agree on a good name to give 'him' I'll be in my study if you all need anything, I'm sure you all would like to get use to your new family pet." And with that he left the room with the other adults following to let the students get use to there new family member.

Kitty held out her hand to the Nightcrawler, "Come here little guy." She said not sure how it was going to react and was over joyed when he had pushed his head into her hand and gave out a loving purr.

"Aw, he's like so soft and sweet." She remarked with a bigger smile.

Nightcrawler was on all fours in a crouching stance rubbing Kitty's hand.

Rouge couldn't help but smirk and patted the little mutant cat on the back.

"Wow, he is soft, and friendly." She said as if she didn't believe Kitty's words.

"You know we should really be thinking of a name for him, ya know before Logan gets home and names him for us." Evan stated playing with the Nightcrawlers pointed ears.

Scott put a hand to his chin, "You're probably right, knowing him he'll call him a random name and if we don't have a name for him then what ever he calls him will become his name for good."

Rouge gave a look "and there is no telling what he mite call him."

Everyone gave a uncomfortable look at this thought.

"So then what do we call him?" Jean asked.

Scot still had his hand to his chin, "Nightcrawler isn't a bad name." he said.

Evan gave him a odd look, "Dude! That's like naming your dog Dog!"

Scott put his hands up in defense as Evan got close to his face.

"How about Kurt." Every one looked at Kitty as she still tickled under the Nightcrawlers chin.

"Kurt?" Scot asked stunned. "It's that more of a human name?"

Kitty shugged, "I don't know he just seems like a Kurt to me." she grinned.

Everybody thought about this for a while and found them selves liking the names fit.

"Ok, Kurt it is." Scot stated bending down to pet the Nightcrawler.

Kurt gave a gentle purr.
