Missing in action
"Ja?" a raspy voice called and Charles sighed, telling the boy while he was sick was even worse, but Xavier had to do it today. If he didn't tell Kurt today then Kurt would only hear it tomorrow from the other inhabitants of the mansion. And it would not be in the way that Charles would tell him. If he heard it from the others it would only serve to hurt Kurt more then it already was. He knew that they wouldn't be meaning to hurt the boy, but it would be an unavoidable conclusion were that to happen. No Charles would not cause the boy more pain then this type of news would already cause.
"It's me Kurt, Profosser Xavier may I come in?" he asked through the door, giving nothing away with his voice. It would not make things any easier to worry the boy before he had the chance to tell the younger mutant what had happened.
"Yes" Storm's voice answered for her charge who Xavier could hear sneezing even through the door. Charles opened the door and wheeled himself into the room the Brotherhood members following behind him. Charles noticed Wanda shut the door behind them before crossing her arms over her chest and leaning against the wall.
"Bless you Kurt," Xavier said once the boy had finished sneezing and was wiping his nose on a tissue Storm had handed him.
"Thank you." Kurt responded, Kurt looked no better then he had that morning, his fur hid alot of of things from view but Charles saw it in the way the boy held himself. He was not feeling any better obviously.
"Kurt I need to tell you something," Charles told him stopping at the foot of the bed. Charles watched as Storm helped the boy to sit up and lean against the head board for support.
"Vhat is it Professor?" Kurt asked his voice hoarse, Kurt tried to clear his throat but groaned when it hurt to do so. Storm handed him the glass of orange juice she had gotten him earlier and watched as he sipped it before taking it back.
"Kurt today at the battle Todd went missing" Charles began noticing the worried look that Kurt was now giving him. "They looked for him but couldn't find him. Logan smelled blood and led them as close as he could to it. Then Hank led the rest of the way" he paused to take a sad breath in, knowing this was going to be the hardest part. "Hank confirmed the blood was Todd's and that he didn't think he was alive or that if he was he was severly injured if he was alive. I used Cerebro to see if I could find him, I found him. Kurt he's alive but he is very injured," he finished. Charles watched as Kurt shook his head, knowing that the boy didn't want to believe what he had told him. "I don't know where he is, I only know as much as Todd does, which at the time is not much. Kurt his mental signature is weak, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but that means he's dying" Charles added. Charles regreted having to tell the boy once the shock and disbelief wore off, because that was when the tears came.
"Du lügst" Kurt whispered and Charles was thankful he had learned the different languages that the inhabitants of the mansion could speak. Learning German had been a huge help when Kurt became overly emotional, because he reverted back to his native language.
"I'm not lying, you know I wouldn't do that." Xavier said watching as Storm sat on the edge of the bed and drew the boy into an embrace. Charles sighed, this was why he didn't want to tell Kurt the news.
"Kurt?" Lance asked stepping closer to the bed.
"Was wollen sie?" Kurt asked and Lance looked confused, he knew nothing in German.
"He wants to know what you want" Charles clarified.
"Look Fuzz... uh Kurt I know that this is hard, but your professor promised to do his best to find Todd," Lance said.
"Weggehen" Kurt sobbed.
"He said go away" Charles answered to the questioning look from Lance.
"I can't do that Kurt, not until I know your going to be okay," Lance told him but Kurt said noting else. Lance sighed as he watched the white haired woman hug his friends lover.
"Kurt, I'm sorry." Lance said running a hand through his hair, he had no idea what he was meant to say.
"Bitte gehen sie weg." Kurt said wiping at his tears while still being held in Storm's arms. Lance once again looked to Xavier.
"He still wants you to go away" Charles told him.
"Alright we'll go away after you listen to me, I understand how you feel, we all miss Todd, we're all worried about him." Lance said, trying to be comforting.
"Raus du hurensohn, du weißt nichts davon, wie ich fühle!" Kurt yelled pulling himself from Storm's grip and leaning towards Lance his tail thrashing in the air behind him angrily. Lance unconsciously leaned back at the angry and murdurous look in the fuzzy teens eyes.
"There's a word in there I'm not going to translate, but basically what he said is 'get out, you know nothing of how I feel'" Charles explained.
"Kurt..." Lance began but was cut of by Storm
"That's it, I have been quiet long enough. All of you get out now, including you Professor, all you are doing is making him angry. He's sick and heartbroken, let him have his peace before everyone is bombarding him with condolances once he is well," the weather witch said the tone of her voice leaving no room for arguements or protests.
"Alright" Xavier said rolling himself to the door and leaving the Brotherhood members following behind him. He knew later Storm would be coming to him to apologize, but he was not angry with her, she was only looking after Kurt.
Authors note- Here are all the Translations for what Kurt said while speaking German, thank's to my awesome beta who took her own time to use a program on her computer to do them. Even though I was more then willing to use Google Translate.
Du lügst-You're lying
Was wollen sie- What do you want
Weggehen- Go away
Bitte gehen sie weg- Please go away
Raus du hurensohn, du weißt nichts davon, wie ich fühle- Get out you bastard, you know nothing of how I feel
