"Guten tag." He smiled shyly. "H-hiya. I'm Nahimana." She returned his smile. "Who are you?....why weren't you with them, when they came to get me?" She asked. "My name is Kurt Vagner, but in the Munich Circus I vas known as Nightcrawler. I vasn't vith them because I didn't vant to scare you." Nahimana laughed. "I don't get frightened that easily," she smirked, "but how could you have known that?" She looked out the window at the ground, trying to figure out where they were. After a moment, she gave up and turned back to Kurt.

"So…you said you were in the circus, what did you do? What can you do?" Her curiosity made him smile, his teeth a shocking contrast to his dark skin. "I vas an acrobat. High up in the tent….it vas alvays fun, the children's laughter vas the loudest sound. I vould teleport, coming from novhere to jump out at them." He laughed at the memory. "It sounds like it would be fun. I remember going to the circus when I was little. I was freaked out by the clowns though.." she flushed a little with embarrassment, "How did you live with them?!"

He laughed again, louder this time. "They are just regular people, behind all the make-up. They vere not vearing it all the time." She flushed a little darker for not thinking of that. "Oh…I guess I should've expected that. But us out here in the public weren't meant to see that." She moved and took a seat closer to him. "No, I suppose not." His yellow orbs followed her as she moved. "Vhat about you?" he asked.

"Me? Well, it's not like your story. Same ending, but a sad beginning." She sighed. "I von't know unless you tell me. But if it's too painful—" "Oh no, no. It's short, and the pain isn't like it used to be. You see, with my powers, I can shape-shift. I change into a beautiful dragon, a lovely dark blue one. Darker than your skin, I think. My mom couldn't, but she could become a wolf. Dad was the dragon. Once they were found out, they were killed…They told me to run, so that's what I did. When I was finally safe, I never showed anyone my powers…until today. But it was a complete accident…" She closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.

"I am sorry. I never knew my parents, so I do not know vhat it is like to lose them." He spoke softly, unsure of her emotions and not wanting to start a flood of tears. "It's alright Kurt…I got over it years ago. I'm sorry. When you said you were in the circus, I assumed you were born and raised there with your family."

He shook his head. "No. Vould you keep you child if he looked like me?" Nahimana smiled. "Of course I would. Like it or not, he's still be my kin. Besides, blue's my favorite color." He smiled a little. "So…where are we going exactly?" She looked out the window again. "I am not sure of vhere it is exactly, but ve are in New York. Ve're pretty close now."

Nahimana swallowed noisily. "Vhat is wrong? Are you okay?" Kurt looked at her, cocking his head to the side questioningly. She nodded, drawing in a deep breath. "I'm worried about…being accepted. The way the Professor put it, I won't have to hide what I can do. But I'm still worried about fitting in." Kurt laughed, and Nahimana raised a brow. "Mein libchen, do not vorry about you fitting in. I fit in. You'll be fine." "Yes, you will fit in just fine, Nahimana." The Professor's voice came from the seat behind Jean, and Nahimana, who'd forgotten about the other three people, jumped.

"Hey Kurt?"

"Yes?"

"If you weren't going to come out with Jean, Storm, and the Professor to greet me, why'd you come?"

"I—"

"We brought him in case you decided to be difficult. In case you decided to lash out at your peers. He would've been able to teleport us or you or whoever needed to be." The Professor cut Kurt off, answering for him.

"We're approaching the mansion now. Look to your right, Nahimana. Out the window." Jean said. Nahimana caught sight of the mansion, and all but pressed her nose to the glass. "Whoa…I'm going to school there?" She breathed. Kurt chuckled softly, and the Professor smiled. "You're going to live there, dear child." He said as the jet lowered itself. Nahimana's eyes widened as the platform they landed on sank into the ground. "Whoa…just…wow." She whispered to herself as she stepped down and out of the jet, into the brightly-lit hanger.
