Chapter 1: Love, Fight, and Flight

Kurt found himself sitting in his room thinking about Kitty and the amazing time they had, had the night before. Kitty had opened up to him so much since the final Battle with Apocalypse and she had dumped that fool Lance, to Kurt's great enjoyment, within three weeks of then.

So many things had happened now that Magneto had joined them at Xavier's and the world in general didn't hate them quite as much, although Bigot's such as the FoH had popped up, they really hadn't had much to do.

So in search of something to do Kurt and Kitty had become quite close and also become clubbin' buddies, or so it was said, even though everyone in the mansion from the Professor to Magnus knew that they were "Romantically Entangled".

Yesterday had been a great night and would go down as one of Kurt's best days ever as Kitty had actually kissed him.

Kurt started as there was a knock on his door.

"Hey fuzzy are you like decent?" said Kitty's voice from the other side of his door.

Kurt looked at the door smiling "Yes come in" he said absent mindedly running his hand though his slightly ruffled blue hair he wished he hadn't laid back down before his hair dried, from his morning shower, but such is life and at least he had had the sense to dry his fur.

Kitty glided through the door her beautiful brown eyes looking intently at Kurt and his messy hair as well as taking in the fact that he truly wasn't decent for any girl except perhaps her. All he wore was a pair of boxer shorts and lay with his hands behind his head on his bed. "Well don't you look like my little Romeo" She said hitting his foot and sitting on the end of the bed.

Kurt suddenly realized what he was wearing. "I'm sorry Kitty I guess I vasn't paying attention." He rose from his bed and walked over to his closet and withdrew a pair of cloths identical to those his Image Inducer projected. Kurt blushed feeling Kitty's eyes following him as he pulled on the pants and dropped the shirt over his head without bothering to pull on his other shirt. He looked back to her once he was fully dressed and found that she had stood and was now sitting at his desk looking through a small black book which just happened to be Kurt's journal, or diary. "Nooo" he moaned remembering that the last thing he had written in it had been about their kiss.

Kitty was sitting giggling as she read. "well Kurt, I didn't like realize how much that meant to you" she lied knowing full well that it was to Kurt a defining moment in his life.

Kurt feigned a smile and shut the book with his tail as he focused on Kitty intending to say something rude but he couldn't muster it once he looked into her eyes. "Yes… vell…now you do I suppose, vas zer somzing you vanted Kitty?"

Kitty smiled and said "Yes I wanted to do this" He stood up and was suddenly in very close proximity to the furry elf. Her arms wrapped around him and she kissed him lightly on the lips. It came so naturally to her they might have been doing it for months. Kurt's reaction however was completely different. His body tensed and a wonderful and scary rush spread through his entire body leaving a tingling in his fingertips which slowly moved to hug Kitty but as soon as he regained control Kitty pulled away. Kurt opened his mouth to speak but found he was overcome with emotion. Kitty smiled a smile that could have brought any man to their knees had they not already been paralyzed with adrenaline. "Well so like I… uh… guess like I will see you tonight right, I mean like we're still on for our date right?" she asked nervously as she back away from him phasing through the chair she had been sitting in.

"Yes" Kurt breathed "I vill zee you tonight frauline" as he stepped forward feeling his mobility return and feeling his face turn purple as he blushed deep red and it mixed with the blue of his fur.

Kitty laughed as she left his room "Fuzzy you always make me feel like a princess" she proceeded to her own to pick out an outfit for tonight.

Later that day Kitty sat outside in one of Kurt's favorite spots have way up a tree in a branch that was as large as a bed and could probably held up the blob. She was wearing her favorite teal blouse and tight fitting kaki pants. She looked down and noticed there was something moving near the base of the tree. "Kurt? Is that you?" she asked smiling thinking that perhaps he was trying to surprise her but then a thought occurred to her with his shadow melding abilities if he didn't want to be seen he wouldn't have been. She froze and contemplated phasing through the tree and then running back to the mansion it was only about a 300 foot run from the base of the tree. Then suddenly she heard a clicking sound as a steel band snapped around her neck suddenly she felt dizzy and fell from the tree halfway to the ground she realized what was happening and attempted to phase but nothing happened she could tell that it hadn't work she let out a scream five feet above the ground and was caught by two camouflaged very muscular arms. Through her confusion she looked up at the man who had caught her she saw on the collar of his shirt was a large pin with three letters on it –FoH- she suddenly realized that there was no way she was getting away from them easily then a familiar voice spoke out of the shadows near the tree she had been sitting in only moments ago. "Kitty?" why couldn't she place that voice who was it "Let her go, let her go right now or I won't help you!" then suddenly she figured it out Lance Alvers stepped out of the shadows his face pale. "I can't do that and besides" said the man holding her "we don't really need you anymore do we now that you have shown us how to activate the mansions self destruct system?" the man laughed in a deep booming base that made Kitty hate him more then she had ever hated anyone. She struggled in his arms attempting to get free "Hey like let me go you creep" she cried as elbowed him in the chest. The man's smirk died on his face and a look of fury replaced it "Shut up you little mutie bitch or I'll kill you now" after he said this he threw her to the ground where she lay at Lance's feet who was looking at the man with such loathing that the ground might have swallowed him whole. Lance bent down to pick Kitty up but she pulled away and stood up on her own. Immediately another FoH member handcuffed her tightly behind her back. Lance was suddenly very afraid for Kitty if she fought these guys they truly wouldn't hesitate to kill her. His thoughts racing he opened his mouth "If… If you hurt her I swear… I swear I will make sure that none of you leave here alive". The big man laughed his deep laugh again and struck Lance suddenly as his fist sank in blood dripped from Lances mouth and his eyes turned white as he lost consciousness. Kitty wanted to cry she was so scared what was going on, why was Lance helping the Friends of Humanity. She looked around and saw that there were more than a hundred people approaching the mansion. "No" she breathed then she heard something rushing through the air and a pain on the back of her head and everything went black.

Kurts eyes snapped open as he heard a scream even through the blaring music coming from his headphones it was close he didn't know what was going on but probably not anything good with a small puff of sulfur smelling smoke and a quiet "BAMF" he disappeared from his room his CD player still going. Seconds later though Kurt was far away in a different part of the mansion by then his door burst into shreads and two men and a woman stepped into his room. One of the men was large and muscular while the other was wiry and small the woman was beautifull red hair fell down her back and her body was exquisite but she had never been appealing to any man due to her eyes, one look into those eyes and you would never see any beauty in the woman again they were a dull grey with no life or compassion in them. With one glance she took in the room and her eyes rested on the CD player lying on the desk still running. "Aravan" she said looking at the big man "this is your new prey the teleporting mutant that Lance told you about I think you'll find him worthy of your skill". The man grimaced and then turned to leave "I doubt that very much Mayleen" a look of surprise crossed his face then mixed with incredible pain he looked down at his chest to see a chain running through It the weighted point lay embedded in the wall in front of him. He fell to the ground blood pooling around his body. "You always were insubordinate Aravan and now you have paid, for your lack of respect." The skinny man looked down at Aravan's lifeless body and shoke his head "Pity he was a great fighter" he said in a voice too young for his body. The woman called Mayleen turned to him "Joshua I trust you will take this assignment seriously". Joshua nodded curtly and began to run of down the hall pulling a small knife from his pocket. "I won't fail" he said to himself.

Kurt appeared in Kitty's room half a second after he had left his own "Kitty did you heer…" He stopped in mid-sentence realizing she was not in her room. Kurt took in the room once more and saw the damage that had been done to it the lamp lay broken on the floor and the door had been smashed in. His heart jumped into his throat what if something had happened to Kitty "vat is going on" he whispered to himself and then disappeared again leaving only his signature puff ball in his wake. "BAMF" the common room was full of people all sitting on the floor hands tied or cuffed behind their backs. Kurts yellow eyes scanned the crowd for Kitty but couldn't find her. He moved back into the rafters and attempted to find out what was going on then he saw something strange everyone was wearing the same necklace or is it a collar realization dawned on Kurt like a brick hitting a crème pie. He scanned the crowd again and this time found who he was looking for but seeing the professor sitting in his wheelchair head lolled to one side with a collar around his neck and hands tied to the chair did nothing to raise his spirits next to him sat Magneto his face full of concern for his friend. Kurt could see his lips forming the words "Charles wake up wake up' over and over again. Then there was Scott and Jean sitting next to another unconscious person Jean was sobbing into Scotts arm. Then Kurt saw that the person they were sitting by was Kitty lying unconscious a trickle of blood running out from under her brown hair. Kurt's entire body shook with rage and suddenly he found himself falling from his hiding place in the ceiling down towards a man standing at the edge of the group of downtrodden mutants. A primal snarl escaped his lips just before he hit the man toppling him. Kurt grasped at the man's body attempting to find a key so that he could save his friends. Then he found it, it was small a sleek titanium silver. He ripped it from the man's jacket and stood to teleport to where he had seen Scott, Jean and Kitty but found he couldn't. His eyes filled with fear as he realized with a shock that the collars everyone was wearing had affected him as well at such a close distance. He ran away from the group of mutants who had begun yelling at him to run. After five steps he felt warmth inside himself and knew he was out of range of the collars, in a puff of some he disappeared.

Well I hoped you enjoyed it please leave feedback for me. If I get enough good stuff I will write Chapter 2 which I kind of have started. Thanks!
