Meeting

Charles Xavier never existed. In his place, a mutant named Magneto rallied the first of the mutant race to him and created the Brotherhood. They were his elite, his best, and his servants. When more mutants began to appear, he sent out a call for them to rally to him. Based on their powers, they were divided into different groups aka cells lead by the different elites of the Brotherhood.

Humanity grew afraid and declared war with the Brotherhood. Soon, certain places around the world were destroyed and left in ruin. The world governments sent their armies to stop the mutant threat. Several of the Brotherhood elite began to question the war as it continued. One, a young man codenamed Nightcrawler, never thought about it. His world had never seen kindness from humanity so he resented it.

That is, until he found a new breed of mutant. One who feared them and refused to acknowledge her gift. Seeing her frightened, he begins a new friendship with the woman to gain her trust. But along the way, he begins to finally doubt the war. This is their story and what happens when two people from opposing sides begin to fall in love despite war, differences, and those who wish them to be apart.

Two black helijets flew towards the city. They were invisible to the city's scanners. Each helijet carried a four man team. They entered the city's suburb area and set down quietly in a grove of trees. The eight members of the ground team ran swiftly out of the helijets and formed a circle around their team leader. He wore a black outfit that covered his body like the rest of them. But unlike others in their organization, they all had blue fur, three fingers, two toes, a spaded tail, pointed ears, and fangs. They were the recon elements sent to recruit others like them. Other mutants.

"Alright team, Lord Magneto says there's a mutant here and the authorities are closing in on him. Orders are to get him and pull out." he said.

"Any clue as to what type of mutant he is?" a member asked.

"A pyro controller."

"Heh, Lieutenant Pyro is going to have some fun with this one."

"Let's move team."

They nodded and moved swiftly and silently. They each carried a small pistol and a katana across their backs. They proceeded down an ally behind several houses and soon came to a barricaded area. Two soldiers saw them and pointed their rifles at the fast moving shapes.

"Halt! This area is under quarantine!"

"Halt or we will..."

One of the figures vanished before them and reappeared behind them. He drew his katana and slashed through each of them. As the team ran past them, the figure swiftly sheathed his blade and the two soldiers collapsed dead. Then he ran to catch up with the others.

"Eclipse, you're always a show off." the leader called back.

"Sorry, Lieutenant Nightcrawler." the young man replied.

They reached the target's house and saw the human soldiers dragging a thirteen year old boy out by his shirt. The parents shot glares at the boy and nodded in thanks to the soldiers. Nightcrawler was disgusted by the parents. Its' always the same. No parent wants to have a mutant as their kid. The kid was pushed to the ground. Some soldiers pointed their rifles at the boy.

He tried to shoot fire off at the soldiers, but he couldn't manage a flame. His body was tired and it was clear he had been beaten. That was enough. At Nightcrawler's signal, the team disappeared and reappeared in the middle of the soldier's formation. Five of them pulled out their pistols and began to fire at the soldiers. Several went down in an instant. The few remaining fled at the sight of so many mutants. The five went off after them while one went in after the parents. Nightcrawler and the remaining team member went directly to the boy.

"Hold him up sir." the woman said. She was the team medic and began checking the boy over as he held the boy up. He was wide eyed now and looked up at Nightcrawler with hope in his eyes.

"Are you…"

"Lieutenant Nightcrawler of the Brotherhood forces. Don't worry, we're here to take you somewhere safe." Nightcrawler said.

The boy smiled weakly at him before falling unconscious. Nightcrawler looked up to see the rest of his team returning. Well, almost all of them. He looked to the house and saw his teammate, Codenamed Vengefulnight, walked out of the door with blood on his uniform. Their eyes locked for a moment and Nightcrawler nodded in understanding.

As soon as the medic cleared the boy for movement, they teleported back to the helijets and took off immediately. Nightcrawler had the boy resting against his side. He woke up after a few more minutes and saw four black suited demon-like figures.

"Where are we going?" he asked.

"Home." Eclipse answered.

"Really? The safe zone for mutants?"

Nightcrawler nodded. The team spent the next few hours answering the boy's unique interest. Before long, they began their descent into the mutant zone of the former northern central region of the United States. They landed at a base hidden amongst a mountain range. They disembarked and were met by several mutants of the Brotherhood. They cheered for their return and all rushed to see the new arrival. Nightcrawler patted the boys head and walked away with two of his teammates following. Sunset and Nightrunner. They teleported away and wound up right in front of the room they sought.

The doors opened up and they went inside. When the doors closed, they knelt before the man seated before them. He wore red armor of some strange sorts with a cape draped over the chair behind him. His helmet was set on the desk in front of him. He had gray hair. The man may have been old, but no one dared disobey him. He was powerful and because of that power he was well respected for protecting them all.

"Lieutenant Nightcrawler, I trust everything went well?"

"Yes, Lord Magneto. The boy is with us now and he is receiving a warm welcome from our forces."

"Good. While he and the other new recruits are settling in, I have another assignment for you. A mutant has been…found. We have no clue as to their precise location or even what their ability is. The Psychic Cell hasn't been able to turn up anything with Cerebro."

Jean hasn't been able to find them? "You want me to locate them and bring them in?"

"Yes. Take Sunset and Nightrunner with you. This may take some time for you to find them, so take whatever supplies you need and image inducers as well. I know you don't like them, but it is crucial for you to find this mutant so hiding in plain sight will be better."

He was right. Very few mutants actually wanted to wear the holo devices, but if it was necessary then they would do so. They nodded in respect to Magneto and left his chamber. They walked down to the armory to replenish their ammo and other gear. As they did so, four individuals walked in.

They all wore the black uniform of the Brotherhood. One had red hair that went down her back and another had red hair with white bangs in hers. The first guy had short brown hair and wore red glasses and the second was an African American with blond hair in a unique cut.

"Hey Nightcrawler." the guy with shades said.

"Hey Scott." Nightcrawler replied. He did the same for Jean (redhead), Rogue (red head with white bangs), and Evan (African American). "What's up?"

"Heard you brought in another mutant. Good job buddy." Evan said.

Rogue walked over and hugged Nightcrawler. "Yeah little bro, good job."

Nightcrawler returned his sister's hug. She may have been adopted, but he always felt close to her. "Thanks sis."

"So, being sent out on another mission?" Jean asked.

"Yes mam, Lord Magneto has asked us to look for an unknown mutant up in Illinois." Sunset answered. Her fur rustled with excitement. Nightrunner looked over at her and laughed at her.

"The one I couldn't get a feed on?" Jean asked.

"Yes mam." Nightrunner replied.

"Guys, you can drop the formalities. We're friends right?" Evan said.

The group talked for a little while before Scott, Rogue, and Jean took Nightcrawler to the side while Evan distracted Sunset and Nightrunner.

"Bro, we need to talk." Rogue said.

"We heard how you let Vengefulnight kill the boy's parents." Jean said.

Nightcrawler looked away from them. "So? They deserved worse."

"Nightcrawler, don't you think this world is wrong?" Scott asked.

"Of course. Humans attacked us and threatened us. Just because we're different they try and wipe us out. So many have lost their lives because of human hatred."

"No. I mean the war. Don't you think we should be trying to settle things peacefully?"

Nightcrawler looked at them with confusion on his face. "What do you mean? We can't! This war is their fault! Why should we try and live peacefully with them?!"

"Bro, please listen. We know how the world treats us, but don't you think that us killing humans, even innocents, is just fueling mutant hatred?" Rogue pleaded.

Nightcrawler was shocked by his sister's and his friend's words. They were trying to convince him not to hate humans. He didn't believe it. He turned away from them. "Careful what you say. Lord Magneto doesn't like it when you speak like that." He made a move to walk away, but Rogue caught his arm.

"Bro, listen. You don't have to like humans and you don't have to go around saving them all the time. But at least promise me that if given a real chance, don't hate them. Try and make one friend at least alright?"

He breathed a heavy sigh. He never could truly say no to his sister. "Ja meine Schwester. Ich verspreche. Aber nur, weil Sie mich fragen."

Then he left with Sunset and Nightrunner. They boarded a helijet and took off. It didn't take them long to reach their target area in a city called Deerfield, Illinois. Since Illinois was so close to mutant territory, the military had moved in with heavy units to ensure the city's protection. They managed to slip through the outer limits without being spotted and were approaching the inner defenses.

"Alright guys, hold on tight." the pilot called back. He and his copilot were technos, mutants with control over technology. He pushed the helijet forward and everyone held their breath as they flew over the military positions. Just when it looked like they'd make it into the city's suburb area, a flash of light washed over them.

"Mutants!"

Missiles fired up at them in an instant and hit the helijet head on. The tail blew up in flames. The pilot was dead in an instant and the copilot was struggling to hold the bird together. "Guys, you gotta jump or else this'll end badly. I'm afraid you're on your own from here."

The three teleporters gave a sad look to their friend before jumping out of the helijet and teleporting. Unfortunately they landed right in the middle of a bunch of soldiers. They pulled out their pistols and pointed at the soldiers as the soldiers did the same. After a moment, the soldiers lowered their pistols and stepped back. A trio of humans in red armor and helmets walked forward.

"Who the hell are you?" Nightrunner asked the mysterious humans.

They stopped before them and from their arms sprouted laser weapons. "We are the guardians of the human race. We are your doom. We are the Sentinels." Then they attacked.

A Few Hours Later, back at the Mutant HQ

Magneto stood before the thousands of mutants gathered before him. Thousands more stood around them watching the soldiers of the Brotherhood listen to their leader's words.

"My friends and comrades, news has just come in from Illinois from Lieutenant Nightcrawler. We have a new threat from the enemy. Play the recording."

Above the force gathered, a hologram appeared. It was Nightcrawler and he was badly injured. In the background was Sunset firing her pistol off screen. "This is Nightcrawler. My team's helijet was shot down and we accidentally landed in the midst of a bunch of human soldiers. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but…"

The image wavered as a beam shot past Sunset and hit something off to the side. A scream was heard and Nightcrawler moved the camera to show a dead Nightrunner and then swiveled again to show strange red armored humans firing lasers from their wrists. Then it began to move as Nightcrawler and Sunset began running. "These…things appeared and attacked us. They're some type of elite human soldier or something."

"Nightcrawler! What about…"

"He's dead! We have to…AUHH!"

An explosion engulfed the scene and the camera feed went dead. Outraged cries were heard from the mutant crowd and several people broke down crying. One in particular was Rogue. Magneto called for silence.

"My friends, this is unacceptable. Nightcrawler and his team have been lost. It is clear that the enemy has been preparing for an assault on our territory. We house mutants from all over the world and we will not tolerate attacks against our home. If they intend to attack us, then we will strike first!"

A cheer went up from the crowd as they agreed with their leader. "For Nightcrawler and all those who have lost their lives in this war!" he cried out.

Deerfield

Nightcrawler was unconscious and being dragged by Sunset. They were too tired and couldn't use their powers. She tried several backyards until she found one that had the fence gate unlocked. She dragged him in and set him down. She hastily began wrapping his wounds. Suddenly she stopped and turned to look at the person she had felt come out of the house.

A young teenage girl stood there. She had brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. She was in her pjs which was just some baggy white pants and a white t-shirt. Her crystal clear blue eyes shown in the dark. Sunset immediately moved in front of the unconscious Nightcrawler and bared her fangs at the human girl.

To Sunset's surprise however, the girl held her hands up to show her she had some bandages in her hand. Sunset nodded and moved back a little bit. The girl approached slowly and began to wrap the remainder of his wounds. Sunset had never really hated humans, she just did her job as a Brotherhood soldier. But she couldn't help but wonder why this human was helping them.

"Thank you for your help, but why…"

"Why am I helping you?" the girl asked. Sunset nodded. "Because I don't think all mutants are terrible people. We all used to get along didn't we? Before mutants were exposed?"

Sunset thought back to her childhood before she joined the Brotherhood. She had indeed been friendly with several humans. But when others began to fear her, she had fled and ran into Nightcrawler who had been gathering other teleporters like him.

"Yes, we used to."

A noise caught their attention. Sunset knew who it was. She had to make a decision now. She looked at the girl. "I need you to do something for me. I have to lead away the soldiers that have been chasing us. Could you take care of him while I'm gone?"

The girl nodded to the teleporter and had her help carry him into her family's basement. As soon as it was done, Sunset left some supplies behind and told the girl what to do if he woke up. Then she was off. Sunset teleported back outside and was able to get the Sentinel's attention. Then the chase was back on.

Just before Sunset arrived in the backyard

The girl stepped out of the shower and dried off quickly. Se got dressed and left the bathroom. As she headed for her room, her parents called out to her.

"Kitty! Be sure to lock your door and windows when you go to bed! The military said they shot down a mutant helijet. They found two dead pilots and they killed one other, but they're afraid two of them are still on the loose. One's badly injured so they might be a little more deadly."

"Ok Dad. Goodnight guys!" Kitty called back to them. She entered her room. She felt sad for the mutants. She had heard rumors that the only reason they send out one or two helijets was to grab a newly awakened mutant before the military killed them. She secretly hated the military, but her parents were full supporters of the anti mutant groups.

She crossed over to her window and was about to lock it when she saw two figures enter their backyard. One was setting down the other and immediately pulled out a med kit. She figured it must be the two mutants she heard about. She wasted no time before running out of her bedroom, grabbing some bandages from their med kit in the bathroom, tiptoed passed her parent's bedroom (man they fall asleep fast), and ran down to the backyard.

She had just entered the backyard when she stopped. She saw the black uniform of the mutant soldiers from the group known as the Brotherhood. Both had blue fur and pointed ears. They had three fingers, two toes, and a spaded tail as well. The one tending to the injured soldier looked at her. She saw gold eyes stare at her with surprise, worry, and then anger. The mutant was female and moved to crouch in front of the injured mutant. She bared small fangs at Kitty.

Kitty slowly held her hands up to show she didn't mean any harm. The mutant saw the bandages Kitty held and nodded to her. She moved back and let Kitty come forward. She began wrapping what wounds were still showing on the injured mutant, a male. She felt the female staring at her work and then she finally spoke.

"Thank you for your help, but why…"

"Why am I helping you?" Kitty asked. She nodded. "Because I don't think all mutants are terrible people. We all used to get along didn't we? Before mutants were exposed?"

It was true, mutants had been hiding amongst humans for quite awhile before they had been exposed. It had been good too.

"Yes, we used to." A noise caught their attention. The female looked at the Kitty. "I need you to do something for me. I have to lead away the soldiers that have been chasing us. Could you take care of him while I'm gone?"

Kitty nodded and had her help carry him into her family's basement. As soon as it was done, the female left some supplies behind and told Kitty what to do if he woke up. Then she was off. Kitty watched as she teleported away. She moved over to the unconscious mutant. He looked peaceful as he slept. He kinda looks like an elf. Kitty leaned in to get a better look at him when his eyes popped open.

For a moment neither of them moved. Her blue eyes were captured by his golden ones. Not even Nightcrawler reacted at the sight before his eyes. Then both blushed, Kitty a deep red and Nightcrawler a deep violet. They looked away from each other and stared at the wall. Nightcrawler saw where he was and immediately tried to sit up, but stopped as searing pain shot through his body.

"Easy, fuzzy elf. You're like hurt pretty bad." Kitty said.

At her words, Nightcrawler paused and allowed himself to be pushed down onto the mat he was on. "Elf?"

"Yeah, you look like a fuzzy elf."

"Not a…not a demon?"

"Nope."

Nightcrawler blushed violet again at her words. She noticed this and returned the blush. "My name's Katherine Pryde, but everyone calls me Kitty. What's your name?"

"Nightcrawler." he answered. She gave him a confused look.

"That's a codename right? What's your real name?"

Nightcrawler looked at her with surprise. No one had asked for his real name other than some of the lieutenants. He hesitated about answering her, but then decided to go ahead and trust her. "Kurt. My name is Kurt Wagner."

She smiled at him then noticed the time. "I better get to bed. Listen, my parents live here as well and they don't know I brought you in here. They'll be going to work tomorrow, but its' summer break for me. We can hang out some more in the morning, okay?"

He nodded as she went back upstairs. He smiled to himself as he thought of her smile. She's an angel. Wait! Am I falling for a human?! He instantly thought back to what his sister had said. Well, if its' Kitty, then maybe it won't be bad to get to know a human.

How'd ya'll like? For everyone who's probably wondering, Kitty is the mutant he came to get, but her power hasn't awoken yet. Be sure to look at the second chapter before reviewing. Still, LEAVE REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!
