Ch4

Professor Xavier sat at his desk with his fingers steepled in front of his mouth in thought. 'Who are these men? What did they do to Kurt? Why did they do this to him?' he shook his head at the last question. It was obvious why they did it to Kurt. Kurt looked different than even the other mutants, which made it even harder to be a mutant for him. Professor X sighed and wheeled to the large window. He looked down at the children playing with their abilities, enjoying being special. Kurt enjoyed his advantage but his came with an occasionally devastating price. The others could simply hide theirs but for Kurt it was harder. Though he had the image induce, there was always the possibility of a malfunction. He heard a knock on the door, "Enter." Kitty walked into the room looking uncomfortable. "Mrs. Pride what can I do for you," he said kindly.

Kitty played with her pony tail a bit before answering, "Well… it's um, about Kurt," she paused, but felt like she couldn't hold the question in any longer, "Professor, what did those people want at the door," she blurted.

The professor wasn't the least bit surprised. He sighed, "They believed that Kurt was a demon and they came to exorcize him," he said sighing again.

"Exorcize?"

"Yes, exorcizing something is killing it or expelling it from this world. Normally it is used for evil or malicious spirits or… demons," he said.

Kitty gasped, "Why would anyone want to do that to Kurt, he is like the nicest guy I know."

"Perhaps we know that but they don't. They believe Kurt is evil because of his appearance," he turned away from her to face the window again, "and somehow they managed to poison Kurt."

"P- Poison," Kitty said her voice trembling with horror "Is there a cure? Will it kill him? What if he dies Professor," she said speaking rapidly as tears flooded down her cheeks.

"Known to us; there is no cure but we will find one. No it will not kill him but it will cause him a great deal of pain and as to your last question, I don't know."

His hands were cold and his fur was a gray color. She gripped his hand all the harder, afraid to let her little brother go. His breathing was shallow and his heartbeat, which was monitored on the screen, was slow and uneven. "You can't die Kurt, you just can't. I won't let you," Rouge said letting tears spill down her face.

Suddenly his eyes flew open, Rouge sat back in surprise, "Kurt-," but she was cut off as he stared screaming, loud and hard until he thought his throat was bleeding. Logan, Scott, Jean, Ororo and Hank came running in.

"Rouge what happened," Hank asked over his pained screams.

"I- I- Don't know he- he just started screaming," she gasped through sobs.

"What's wrong with him," Logan asked.

"It's the poison. It's attacking his pain receptors and making them flare up causing an unimaginable amount of pain," he said horrified at the cruelty of it.

Logan looked down at the boy whose fur was wet with tears and blood that he coughed up. Who could do this to a kid, to anybody?

Jean was on the verge of tears as Kurt screamed louder, "Machen Sie Ihn zu stoppen (make it stop)" he screamed, "Bitte! Bitte Gott (please. Please God) Machen Sie ihn zu stoppen," he screamed in German. It felt his limbs were being torn apart, his mind was exploding and imploding, his heart was being ripped from his chest and his lungs where tearing themselves apart all at the same time. "Das tut auch weh. Es schmerzt so sehr (it hurts. It hurts so much).

"I know Kurt but you need to stay strong," Ororo said soothingly. Everyone knew she knew German. "Bleiben sie stark (stay strong)," she softly.

"What is he saying Ororo?" Hank asked.

"He's in great pain. He's asking to make it stop," she said choking on the last part.

Rouge collapsed into the chair crying. 'Rouge why don't you go to bed and get some rest,' a voice said in her head. She nodded and left. 'Doctor Hank, I need you to find a cure as soon as possible,' the professor mentally said to him. He nodded and instantly went to his desk.

Jean came up behind him, "Can you make a cure?" She asked choking on her tears.

Everyone stopped tending to Kurt and turned towards Beast.

His shoulders slumped forward, "I don't know, but that doesn't mean I sure as hell can't try."
