I don't own any X-Men Evolution characters. Well I got this mad idea for a fic. It's another insane one folks, so hold onto your hats!
My Dinner With Nightcrawler
Chapter 1: The Invitation
"Why is it that the X-Men can't even go cash a check without running into trouble?" Kitty groaned as she watched her self on TV sweep her leg under one of the criminals.
It was supposed to be a typical outing doing some errands. Kitty had to go cash a check sent from her mother for her allowance and Kurt, Rogue and Jean went with her. Of course robbers had to show up at the bank as soon as they got there.
"I know adventure comes with the territory but for crying out loud," Kurt remarked as he watched himself teleport a few bystanders out of harms way. Fortunately he was wearing his image inducer at the time so they weren't too freaked out by his appearance. "Can't we ever get a break?"
Needless to say it wasn't long before the criminals were apprehended. "The police were quickly on the scene soon after," The news reporter spoke. "In other news…"
"That's it?" Rogue snapped. "After all we did we're just a byline?"
"Hey we were lucky we weren't arrested," Kitty grumbled.
"Yeah the police weren't exactly appreciative of our help," Jean sighed. "Some of them thought we were working with the robbers and had a falling out!"
"Typical," Scott grumbled.
"It wasn't a complete loss," Xavier wheeled in with Ororo. "Some people did appreciate your efforts. Mr. and Mrs. Sefton for instance."
"Amanda's parents?" Kurt asked.
"Yes they called for you before you returned home from your adventure," Xavier smiled. "They saw you and the others when the news broke. This has convinced them that you deserve another chance."
"Really?" Kurt asked. "That's great! Amanda and I don't have to sneak around as much anymore!"
"I've talked to them and Ororo and I will talk to them as well," Xavier said. "I know how much Amanda means to you. I figure you could use some moral support. And this is a good opportunity to reach out to more humans in the community."
"What?" Kurt gulped.
"Look I've got it all arranged," Ororo said. "We're going to a restaurant tomorrow. You know the Strega Rossa?"
"Wow," Kitty remarked. "That's like the fanciest Italian restaurant in the city."
"Well tomorrow night Ororo, Rogue and myself will accompany you to a dinner with Amanda and her parents," Xavier explained. "It'll be an informal get together. It will give the Seftons a chance to get to know the real you and your family."
"Oh goody," Rogue moaned. "This is gonna be fun."
"What about the rest of us?" Kitty asked.
"I think that it might be a good idea to have the Seftons meet only a few new mutants at a time," Ororo grinned.
At that moment multiple Jamies ran by being chased by a snowball throwing Bobby. "YOU LITTLE BRAT!" Bobby shouted. "Give me back my journal or you're dead meat! You hear! Dead meat!"
"Gotta catch me first Popsicle Breath!" Jamie made faces. They ran into the next room.
"I kind of see your point," Kitty winced as she heard something break in the next room.
"Trust me Kurt it won't be so bad," Ororo said as she put her hand on his shoulder.
"Okay," Kurt sighed. "It'll just be you, Rogue and the Professor. Maybe this won't be so bad."
************************************************************************
"Well here we are," Kurt fidgeted with his tie in the restaurant's main hall. He was wearing his holowatch so his true appearance would be hidden.
"Calm down Kurt," Rogue said. She was wearing a nice black and green long sleeved dress.
"Don't worry we've reserved a private room so you can turn off your inducer in privacy," Xavier said.
"Oh that makes me feel so much better!" Kurt rolled his eyes.
"Kurt!" Amanda waved. She was in a black dress and her hair was braided in cornrows. Her parents were with her.
"Amanda," Kurt said. "Mr. and Mrs. Sefton."
"Kurt," Mr. Sefton tried to keep the emotion out of his voice.
"It's good to meet all of you," Ororo said. "I'm Ororo Munroe. We spoke on the phone."
"And this is my sister Rogue," Kurt introduced her.
"Hi," Rogue said politely.
"Sister?" Mrs. Sefton looked at her. "Are you blue like…?"
"No this is me," Rogue said. "I'm a mutant too but…it's kind of a long story."
"Well why don't we…" Xavier began but suddenly he was interrupted.
"HEY! NIGHTCREEPER! OVER HERE!" They heard a familiar voice shout.
"Was that…Toad?" Rogue gulped.
"Oh no…" Kurt felt all the blood rush out of his brain. "Not here. Not now."
"HELLO! HEY ELF!" They heard Shipwreck shout.
"Oh god…" Ororo went pale as they turned around. There they were dressed up quite nicely, Shipwreck, Todd, Althea, Pietro, Wanda and the Triplets.
"Small world ain't it?" Todd grinned.
"A little too small apparently…" Xavier groaned.
Dinner is about to be served….
