Mutation. It is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.[1]
^^^^^^
Kurt looked in the mirror while adjusting his image inducer.
"You look good." Ororo said as she walked into his room.
"Hallo, Fraulein Monroe." Kurt smiled and started to button up his shirt.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Ororo?"
"Perhaps a few more times." He teased.
She walked over to him and took a good look at him. He was the same Nightcrawler, but without blue skin thanks to the image inducer Xavier made for him. Either way, he still took her breath away. His curly black hair was slightly longer now, falling over his ears. His hologram covered his tattoos and made it look like he had five fingers on each hand. It covered everything, well except for his tail, which the hologram only covered when he wraps it around his leg. She watched it move back and forth on the floor like a snake.
"Am I mizzing zumthing?" Kurt asked wondering why she was gazing at him.
Ororo smiled at his German accent and fixed his shirt collar. "No. You're perfect."
"Vere's the Professor and Logan."
She was so busy dreaming she nearly forgot. "They are waiting in the bus for us."
Kurt sighed and followed her out of the room. Today, they were taking the few students that stayed permanently at the school even during the summer. Basically, the runaways (like Rogue), orphans (like Jubilee) and students that refused to leave (like Bobby).
As they got on the bus, they looked around at the rowdy bunch. This was going to be a long day.
^^^^^^^
"Come on Jamie." Kurt held the seven year olds hand as everyone walked through the mall to get to Old Navy.
Jamie followed his leader looking around at the busy scene. He noticed a few cameras and people with donating blood. Blood cool. Then, he spotted Kay-Bee Toys. Toys, even better.
Kurt felt the boy pull on his hand to go into another direction. "Nein, Nein, kleine[2]."
"Toys." Jamie pointed.
"Not today." Kurt replied. "You need some clothes."
"So do you." Ororo added in. "Professor said for you to get a few new clothes as well."
Kurt shook his head. He was thankful Xavier gave him new clothes when he first arrived at the school a few months ago.
^^^^^^
Kurt handed Ororo an armful of clothes. "Five shirts, two shorts, and three pants for Jamie. Three shirts and 4 shorts of Artie. And four shirts, 2 pants, and one short for Jones."
Ororo rest the pile on the counter. "And where's yours."
"I don't need any." Kurt replied. "I have enough."
"Can you hold these?" Ororo asked the sales clerk. "Thanks."
"Ororo."
"Bobby, watch Jamie for us." Ororo lead the boy over to him.
"Sure, Storm." Bobby took Jamie's hand. "Come on buddy. Let's go find Rogue and Jubilee."
"Ororo." Kurt pleaded as she dragged him to the men's section. "I don't need anymore clothes. I have plenty."
"Honestly, Kurt. You're as stubborn as the children sometimes." Ororo picked up a polo shirt. "You should try this on. It's definetly your color."
"If you insist." Kurt replied.
"What size pants you wear?"
Kurt shrugged his shoulders. "I don't remember."
Ororo grabbed him by the waist and spun him around to look at the tag in his pants.
His heart raced. He had to be calm, even though he was fighting to keep his tail wrapped around his leg to avoid it from being seen.
^^^^^^
Jamie looked up at Bobby who was looking at Rogue.
Jubilee held up a top to show Rogue and some of the other girls. "What do you think about this?"
"That is so you. You got to try it on." Rogue replied about the bright yellow jacket her friend was holding up.
Jamie looked over at the girls. Girls Yuck. He looked back up at Bobby who seemed in a trance. I hope I don't look stupid like that when I get bigger. He looked around. This was boring. He already got clothes with Mr. Wagner. Where were the toys? He wiggled his hand away from Bobby. It's time to find the toys.
^^^^^^
"These are your size." Ororo pulled a pair of pants off the shelf and handed them to Kurt.
Kurt unfolded the pants and looked at them. "They look like they are going to tight."
"Oh, I forgot." Ororo remembered and pulled a different style. "You like the baggy kind."
^^^^^
Jamie walked out of Old Navy and into the rest of the mall. Where was that toy store he saw?
He thought for a moment. By the blood and stuff. He made his way carefully though the crowd of people. Hope nobody bumps into me too hard.
^^^^^^
Ororo and Kurt walked back over to Xavier, Logan, and the students.
"Are we all ready?" Logan asked. He sure was ready to get the hell out of this store.
"Start checking everything out, Logan" Xavier ordered. Ororo, Kurt, we're missing someone.
"Bobby, where's Jamie?" Ororo asked as she glanced at all the students.
Bobby looked around him. "He was just here a second ago."
Kurt looked over to the entrance into the mall and back at Ororo. Oh GOTT. "He's in the mall."
Ororo and Kurt took off to find him.
"Jamie."
"Jamie."
^^^^^^
Jamie looked around at all the cameras. These people must think blood is cool too.
This is Mae Weathers for Channel Four News. We are here today at Manhattan Mall where the Blood Center is holding its annual back to school blood drive. All donations today are for the Children's hospital…
Jamie walked behind Mae Weathers unaware that she was backing up.
^^^^^^
"Jamie"
"Jamie."
^^^^^^
Mae backed up unaware that Jamie was behind her. She knocked into him and turned around to see what she bumped into. "I'm sorry sweetie." She said as she saw the boy go down.
Jamie hit the floor with a thud causing him to split into three other duplicates of himself.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mae screamed as she saw the boy multiply before her eyes.
^^^^^^^
"Jamie." Ororo looked over to Kurt and they both took off running in the direction of growing screams.
^^^^^^
Jamie got up in a panic and began crying as his duplicates ran in hysteria around him. By now, he caught the attention of everyone around him, including the camera men.
"It's a mutant." He heard someone scream.
Kurt and Ororo pushed their way through the gathering mass of people and over to Jamie.
"You're alright Jamie." Ororo said as she hugged him.
Kurt grabbed one of the duplicates and brought it over to Ororo. She took the duplicate and merged it back with Jamie as Kurt rushed to grab the other two.
Without knowledge of the cameras rolling and Kurt's tail exposed, Ororo and Kurt merged the other two duplicates with Jamie.
Kurt picked Jamie up and looked at the crowd gathered around to watch.
"They're all mutants."
"Freaks."
Ororo looked down at Kurt. "Your tail."
Kurt wrapped his tail around his leg to blend it with the hologram, but it was too late. "We have to get out of here."
"Freaks."
Ororo dodged an item thrown at her. "I agree."
"Get out of our mall."
"Yeha, no mutants allowed. Get your own damn mall freaks."
Kurt held the crying Jamie closer to him. He wanted to teleport out of there, but he couldn't leave Ororo. Professor.
Kurt's tail lashed out to block several objects. Professor.
^^^^^^
"Ororo and Kurt are in trouble." Xavier said to Logan as he rolled out into the mall. "Have Bobby and Rogue help you gather all of the children into the bus. I'll meet you at the eastern entrance."
Now Logan. Logan wanted to argue, but he knew Charles was right. He had to get the kids out of the mall fast.
^^^^^^^
"Ow." Kurt winced as something hit him in the leg.
Ororo's eyes began to turn a pearl color, causing the lights to flicker as she called dark clouds gathered over the mall.
Kurt felt something hit him in the arm, switching his image inducer off.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH."
Some of the mob rushed back as they saw his true appearance, allowing the mall security to surround them.
"Put the boy down and Put your hands in the air." They heard one of the officers yell and pointing his gun at them.
Ororo looked over to Kurt holding Jamie tight. "What do we do?"
Kurt. Ororo. Surrender.
Ororo looked to see Xavier wheeling his way to through the crowd. But Professor.
You must surrender or things might become worse. Trust me. I'll take care of everything.
Kurt and Ororo nodded.
"Get your hands in the air."
Kurt slowly put Jamie down and put his hands in the air. Ororo followed his example. Jamie sniffled and pulled the rosary out of his teacher's pocket.
Kurt felt one of the officers grab his hands and slam him to the floor. Then, proceeded to read him his rights.
"You have the right to remain silent…."
Kurt fought the urge to swat the officer with his tail. He looked over to Ororo and Jamie. Ororo was gently handcuffed and read her rights. Then, she and Jamie were escorted to the state police that just arrived.
The officer jerked him to his feet. "Come on freak. It's time to go in a cage where you belong."
